STORY OF REVOLT
MISSIONARIES ALLEGED TO BE RE-
sPONsIDLE FOR TROUBLE.
Tried to Correct n Mistake in Reckon
and the Natives Rebelled.

SEATTLE. Wash, June 2s.-Advices from
the Orient give particulars of a strong re-
bellion which is in progress in Baratonsa,
a Pacific island under the British flag in
the South seas. The uprising has spread
over the whole island. The natives are adj
v~ancing or the European settlement along
the coast and are threatening the capital.
II II were not for the war In South Africa
and the Chinese disturbances the rebellion
would create world wide comment. not only
on account of it being a struggle betwee
the ~populace and the aristocracy but
through it's unique feature.
The inhabitants of the island were origi-
nally brought into touch with civilization
through the efforts of missionaries sent out
by the London Missionary Society. Not un-
de~rstanding the disturbing effects Of the
one hundred and eightieth degree of longi-
tude. the first arrivals to advance the cause
of Christianity set the usual day Sunday
for service. AS is well known at the degree
of longitude mentioned the days jump
back twenty-four hours. Since discovering
their mistake the Christian leaders of the
island attempted to rectify II. The move
made the natives superstitious. Upon urg-
ing the change the Christians aroused q
sullen resentment. Now this has changed
TO active hostilities and thinking that the
white people were deceiving them all along
the natives began numbering on all sides.
The greatest carnage and murder is being
witnessed. Over fifty Europeans have al
ready been killed. At the last reports they
were fortifying various coast towns and
were preparing for a desperate resistance.
All the business houses and government
headquarters in the island nave adopted
the new Sunday and are siding with the
whites. An appeal will be made for assis-
lance from Great Britain.

Lady Curzon Tells what Has Been
Done for Famine Sufferers.

CHICAGO. June 26.-Lady Curzon. vice.
rome of India. writing TO S. ID. Eldridge. OF
the Chicago India famine relief commit
tee, says: The famine is greater in its in
tensity over the areas afflicted than at any
previously recorded visitation. Fewer per-
sons will die. yet :ncomparably more per-
sons are suffering. The absolute failure of
the two last autumn and spring harvests
and the unprecedented loss CT cattle in
western and central India makes the task
Of recuperation more arduous than on any
previous occasion. The government has re-
duced the rate OF mortality. n even in
the worst districts the figures show only n
slight excess over the normal rate. Tho
government has spent $26. Coz. 600 upon di-
rect relief, $40. 100000 upon suspensions and
remissions Of land revenue. 100000 upon
advances for the purchase OF seed and cat
tie and S5,000.00 upon loans 10 the dis
tressed states. The relief has
distributed s2,5oo,00O through various chan
nels."

WASHINGTON. June 26.-The matter of
the shipment of American citizens at New
Orleans and ether por.s for South Africa
on British transports carrying mules and
horses for Cape Town and other South At
rican ports has been frequently brought to
the attention of the Department of State,
which Is now in receipt of a dispatch from
the consul general of the United States at
Cape Town, dated May 80. pointedly re-
ferring to this matter. Hundreds of young
men. 1t is stated. ship for the voyage at
from $40 to s15 for the trip. They arrive
without means. and, while some of them
enlist in the army. others become objects
of charity; others reship for different ports.
1t would seem that these young men are
of the opinion that they had shipped for
the return voyage. but that they had so
contracted the ship papers do not state. In
other cases desertion follows from ships
(after arrival at Cape TOWN. that are
bound up the coast.
The most annoying feature of the situa-
ton, Mr.. Stowe remarks. is that his con-
snlate general is flooded with letters from
the friends and relatives at home which
courtesy demands shall be answered.;
whereas the time spent in Investigations
that IL may be necessary to make should be
devoted TO other duties. Simply to receive
these boys and listen to their tales and de-
mands for assistance and for their return
home is most trying and consumes consid-
cradle time. Again, Mr.. Stowe says that
their friends In the United States appear
to believe that all that is necessary TO have
their boys sent home or to care for them
while in South Africa is prompt attention
on his part. He adds: II pity and sympa-
thize with these boys when they file into
this office; l help them from my pocket
more than I can afford TO and l obtain
work for them, but my time is of more
value 10 the government I'm other lines of
work. The war. with its added work. is
enough without adding unnecessary work
consequent on the arrival of these young
Americans to see the world. Ii ought TO be
made plain TO young men that the United
States government has no fund to use for
their care abroad. and that the consul can
not afford TO support them and send them
home, even with the assurance that money
will be sent him in the slow process of
mail"

PRINCE WITH BAD CHARACTER.
Got but One Farthfng Damages from
Sir George Newnes for Alleged Libel.

LONDON, Tune 26.-An interesting libel
suit which has been on trial in the court
of Lord Russell of Killowen. the lord chief
justice, resulted to-day in Prince Charles
de Looz of Corsen, the heir p~resumptive
of one of the leading families of the con-
tinent and a direct descendant of the Span
ish King Charles ", getting a farthing
damages against a newspaper which had
included him among a list of alleged con-
victs wearing coronets. The. paper referred
to. one of Sir George Newnes's publica-
tions, said that among twenty thousand
aristocrats occupying European prison cells
was De Looz. The latter sued for $500
damages, and Sir George Newnes paid 40
shfllings into court to sufficiently compen-
safe the prince for any damage done to
his character, claiming that IL the prince
was not in prison. he had. at least, been
convicted Of swindling leading housekeep-
ers In Paris on the false pretense that he
was about to marry the wealthy Princess
Demidof. Police officers from Scotland
Yard testified that De Looz had a bad

that the poor wretches had practically no
