CHINESE
Burning Out the Eyes with Quicklime
One of the Penalties.

h"c y With OuICkIIulG
One of the Penalties.
Among the various kinds of Chinese
punishments is one known as the hot
water serpent" the penalty of those
adjudged guilty of treason. The un-
fortunate wretch who has to under
go this barbarity is fastened securely
TO a stool, A long coil of hose is
wound around his limbs and body. One
end of the hose has a head like that of
a serpent, and into the mouth scald-
ing water is poured. The first lot of
water is allowed to cool. and Is then
let out of the tail of the serpent and
the hose refilled with more boiling
water. This process is repeated until
the miserable criminal, in frightful
agony, expires.
A Chinaman convicted of a partic-
ularly heinous offense usually is SEN
fenced to blindness. In the eastern
provinces the man is buried up to his
neck in the ground and then his eyes
plucked out. The western provinces
go this pleasant practice one better.
The criminal is laid on his back and
firmly secured. A man comes for
ward, carrying in his hands two small
bags of quicklime. With these he beats
al the eyes of the victim. The tears
enforced by the beating action fire the
quicklime, and the eyes are soon
burned away.
Ear-twisting, in which the ears are
sometimes turned until they are sep
arated from the head, and the punish
ment of the block, whereby the Of
fender is chained to a block of wcsd
in the public streets, are consid I'D
minor punishments.

MANY FILIpINos SLAIN.
A Week of Fighting in Manila Dur
Ing Which 1873 Insurgents Were 49,
Killed md Many wounded.

Manila, April 23.-Last week was
one of the bloodiest of the war since
the first days fighting around Manila.
Authentic reports, mostly official,
show total of 1913 Filipinos killed, 10
officers and 244 men captured and
many more wounded. The number
wounded is hardly guessable. Con-
sidering that the Tilipinos entirely
lack hospital facilities, great ma
jority of the wounded will die. Prob
ably the weeks work finished 1000
insurgents. The Americans loss was
nine killed and 16 wounded. Two SER
geants and one private were killed
in ambushes while escorting provision
trains.
Col. Smith, of the Seventeenth infan-
try, who captured Gen. Montenegro
and brought him to Manila, is in the
isolation hospital suffering from small
pox, presumably caught from the Fill
pinos. Col. Smiths command captured
$50 officers and men with Montenegro.
The officers were brought to Manila.
Montenegro, who was formerly one
of the most dapper officers in the Fill
Pine army, looks worn and haggard.
He says he has led terrible life for
months, and he has offered to return
to the north with Col. Smith to en-
deavor to persuade his former COM
rades of the uselessness of opposing
The Americans.

NEARLY CRUSHED.
Summary OF Conditions in Philip
pines Shows That There Is Little
Left of the Insurrection.

Washington, April 25.-The military
situation in the Philippines as shown
by the latest mail advices received ut
the war department is summarized in
the following statement which was
made public Tuesday at the depart
ment:
"On the list of January 19OO the insur-
rection in the part of Luzon, p. l., en-
bracing the province of Manila and the
provinces to the north of it had collapsed
to the extent that organized resistance to
American control had virtually ceased. A
different state of affairs existed in Ca
wife, Batangas, Laguna, and Tayabas, the
provinces lying Immediately south of Ma
Mia. In this territory, the richest and
most populous of the island, the birthplace
of Aguinaldo and the rebellion, the insnr-
gent troops were still intact; had in fact
been strengthened by accessions from the
north. and as regards equipment, disci-
pine and cohesion were equal, if not SUI
perior, to any that had been raised in sup
port of the insurgent cause.
Gen. Otis committed the task of the de-
struction or dispersion of the forces with
In this district to two expeditionary bri-
gades, commanded respectively by Brig.
Gems. Wheaton and Schwan. In and about
the two towns Of Bacoor and linus, in
northern Cavite, there were and long had
been fnsurgent bodies of considerable size,
some of which had actually besieged our
garrisons in those towns. These insurgent
bodies Gen. Wheaton's command attacked
and completely routed on January last.
Further disintegration of the rem
nants of this force fell to the lot of Gen.
Schwan's brigade. In the course of it's
campaign his troops covered ESQ miles,
fought 80 combats and established per-
lnanent garrisons in q towns within this
district"

RAIN BADLY NEEDED.
Forest Fires i'm the Cass Lake (Minn.)
Region Threaten Enormous
Destruction.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 24.-Unless
Il heavy rain speedily visits the Cass
lake region the fires now rioting in
the "toppings" will extend to the
standing timber, intlicting losses which
will run into the tens OF millions of
dollars. The fire is confined to the
stumpage and boughs, the old cuttings
of the past two winters. Minneapolis
log owners are greatly alarmed. Ev-
erything is as dry as finder. NJ. j..
Scanlon, of the Scanlon-Gibson Lumber
company, says there has been great
deal of property destroyed in the re-
gion west of Cass lake, and extending
back about rs miles to the west and
northwest, and probably 80 miles on
the southwest. The streams have
dried up and every thing favors most
disastrous forest fire.
Winnipeg, Man., April 24.-Con-
tractors Keith and Buchanan, whose
outfits were burned in the woods near
Vassar, had a final roll call of their en-
ployes Monday night, and the result
was most encouraging, as only four
men now remain who have not an
swered to their names. 1t is hoped
that these have also escaped and will
find their way to the city before many
days. The fatalities among the set
tiers are unknown, but no bodies have
been found by the search parties so
far, and so many fugitives are reach
ing places of safety it is hoped all will
escape, especially as the fire has abated
in fury and the wind has fallen. The
people who escaped tell of fearful ex-
periences, and the scene of desolation
over an area of more than 1000 square
miles is said to testify to the fury of the
fire.. Wild animals by thousands have
escaped to open prairics, but hundreds
of carcasses are found,

Washington, April 25.-Hon. Mat

seat in the United States senate on the
appointment of the governor of Penn
sylvania by a vote of 33 to 80. The en-
tire time of the senate was devoted to
debate upon the question, many of the
greatest lawyers and orators in the
body delivering speeches. AS the
days session wore on and the hour for
the final vote approached, the galleries
gradually filled until they were
thronged with multitudes, while other
multitudes were unable to gain admis-
sion. On the floor of the senate was
every member of the body now in the
city,, and scores of members of the
house of representatives. The great
throng listened with deep attention to
the brilliant argument of Senator
Spooner in favor of the seating of the
former Pennsylvania senator and to
the dramatic and fiery eloquence of
Senator Daniel (Va.), who appealed to
his colleagues to do what, on his oath as
senator, he deemed right, and vote to

ASpic Eggs.

A delightful way to cook eggs, which
makes very decorative dish for lunch.
con or Sunday evening supper, is in this
way, and any fancy name can be given
to the connection, Eggs la Filipino"
for example, or Eggs la President
Kruger" Take hard-boiled eggs and
slice off the white at one end so that
the yolk can be taken out. Season this
with pepper and salt, and stir in
chopped trufiles and put back into the
whites. Cover the eggs with aspic jel-
ly, tinted different colors-violet, yell
low, pink, blue, red, and so on. These
are harmless preparations for coloripg
purposes. The eggs will stand up on
plate, placed on the end which has been
cut. Cover with whipped cream, in
which are a few chopped truflics. Or,
instead of using aspic jelly, roll the
eggs in bowl in which is an egg or two
well beaten up with little cold milk;
then roll in fresh bread-crumbs and fry
for a few minutes in very hot fat. Take
them up with Skinner and serve hot.

THREE MEN KILLED.
Terrible Result Of an Explosion in 6
Dynamite Factory Near hay
City, Mich.

Bay City, Mich, April 2l.-The pack
ing house of the Ajax dynamite works,
near the village of Kawkawlin, this
county, was blown up Friday after
noon, killing three men. The dead are:
William Weaver. Kawkawlin; Edward
Halligan, Kawkawlin; William Van
Vlassar, West Bay City. Allleft young
wives and children. Their bodies were
torn to shreds, only enough being
found 10 fill a bushel basket. Great
trees were uprooted or torn to splin-
tiers, and houses and stores in Kaw-
kawlin were wrecked by the force Of
the explosion. II. II. Thomas, of Bay
City, is the owner of the works. 1t is
believed the explosion, which is the
fourth in seven years, was caused by
one of the men dropping u pailful of
dynamite on the floor. The financial
loss is slight.
