The census of Manila, just com
gives the city an unpleasant high rank
among the unhealthful cities of the
world. 1t establishes a death rate Of
more than 40 per cent. Former esti-
mates and censuses always had given
Manila 100000 population. This cen
sus was careful count of natives
and Chinese living in buildings and
boats in the police district of Manila,
and it gave total of only 190,714, of
whom 10000 were Cinnamon.
There are to be added the inhabi-
tants of other villages within the city
limits, Americans and Europeans and
1,400 priests in the monasteries From
reliable information the officials esti-
mate their number at between $4,000
and 10000.
The deaths in Manila during the six
months from July 1 to December 81,
last year, were 6,203. OF these 2,941
were children. Manila now has three

General Bells famous volunteer

Bubonic plague is visitor to which

FAMILY FEUD.
The DePeyster Trouble Involves a
Whole Village.

The family feud which has been
raging in the DePeyster family has
involved the whole village of Tivoli,
N. Y, in a bitter political strife.
Charges of bribery and the import
ing of voters from Saugerties, and
other places in the interests of the
factions in the recent village election
are being freely made.
The success of Colonel John Living
ston De Peyster in getting elected
President of the village is said to have
so enraged the father that the son
will find his administration of village
affairs thwarted in every way in
which his fathers great wealth and
influence can thwart it.
The aged General has long sought
to control the politics of Tivoli, and
when it was announced last week that
Colonel De Peyster had been elected
Village President the followers of the
elder De Peyster began to cry fraud"
Money was somewhere" said a
devoted follower of General De Pey-
ster

EARLY ESSAYS.
Hanna on England and Rockefeller on
ST. Patrick.

Hanna on England and Rockefeller on
ST. Patrick.
Among the treasures which Andrew
Freese of Cleveland, o., clings to in
his old age are two essays, one writ
ten by John D. Rockefeller and the
other by Marcus A. Hanna, when they
were his pupils, nearly fifty years
ago. Mr.. Hanna's essay is entitled,
England and the United States" At
eighteen he expressed his ideas as fol-
lows:
IT'S true that England has been
for many years the unrivaled nation
Of the earth, but the United States
has been like a soaring eagle, gradual
ly but rapidly mounting on their flight
to fame, and now that she has reached
an exalted position in the eyes of the
world, she gazes with Indifference up
on her mighty rival.
"In England the land is held by
wealthy lords and mobiles, who spend
their time and money to crafty their
own selfish desires, while hundreds
of the poorer classes are strugglind
hard to gain living and enduring all
the privations of poverty can inflict
Not so in land of liberty. Here ev.
cry man is free and all enjoy equal
rights and privileges, and every hon.
est and Industrious man can gain a
comfortable livelihood"
Mr.. Rockefeller's essay tells of the
life of st. Patrick. Characteristic SEN
fences in the essay are:
From poor shepherd boy he had
become Bishop, which was in those
days a very high office. History gives
instances Of the power of Bishop
being equal to and greater than thai
of King.
"St. Patrick was far superior to his
countrymen in knowledge and had
great sway over their minds. They
even thought him to be a saint"
Lafayette Post, G. A. r., of New
York city, has arranged for the trans

$4,S37,7 49. There was added to the
public debt during the year a little
over two million dollars. For the cur

the revenue would be over $50,000,000,
and that there would be on June 80
next surplus of $7,525.0O0.

be taught; people who have had
very little opportunity to study the

that Cuba will ever have absolute in.
dependence. The Administration will
bring it about when the vote is taken
in Cuba for the election of members
OF it's first General Assembly. a vote
will be registered simultaneously in
favor of annexation to the United
States. Should this fall this Govern.
ment will have paved the way for a
practical protectorate over the island.
1t is even now being asserted that the
United States will dominate the for
eign policy of the Republic of Cuba"
IL it is ever established, and that no
treaties will be negotiated without
first having received the approval of
this Government. Cuban treaties Of

1T is war steadily and stealthily
planned by the Queens Dutch sub

twenty years. For between four and
six years they have been equipping

AT LONG RANGE.
More Horses Than Men Are Killed
In War.

In War;
In the Franco CO man War, 1870, at
Gravelotte, the German cavalry LOST
200 horses and 100 men, while their
artillery lost 1900 horses and $50 men.
At Vrinville, a terribly fierce battle,
the German cavalry lost 1000 horses
an 1,400 men, while their artillery lost
1000 horses and 730 men; but at he
battle of Woerth the German cavalry
lost only 80 horses to 90 men, THIS
shows that when the lighting is close
and hot the men fall in greater mum
berS than the horses.
From the relative loss of men and
defeat or victory; for in victory
the difference between men lost and
horses lost would not be very great,
while in a defeat and retirement the
loss of horses would be immense.
In well contested handtohand
fight Of cavalry the loss of horses 70
about equal to the loss of men. When
the British troops were engaged in
the Peninsular War they lost in each
of tha 10 battles an average Of Is
.prsessS 40 10 men, showing fierce and
closetR, ating.
On the other hand, the loss Of horses
is very great when the cavalry have
to go long distance over open ground
before delivering the charge, as they
are exposed to the enemy's fire. AT

ish cavalrymen and 1897 Of their hors-
