TWO PRocLAMATIoNs.
Americans and Filipino insurgents Issue

Americans and Filipino Insurgents Issue
Counter Declarations.
Washington, Sept. 14.-The postmas-
ter general has received from r. w.
Vaille, director general OF posts in the
Philippines, copies of two undated
proclamations, one by the American
peace commissioners and the other by
the insurgents, issued presuma bly, just
before the last mail left the islands
for the United States.
The American proclamation was Of
pacific character, but warned the
natives that they.-had nothing to ex-
pect from continued opposition to the
American occupation. 1t promised
free transportation home to all insur-
gents who surrendered their arms and
directed the confiscation of all money
and hemp belonging to the insurgent
government.
The Filipino proclamation, issued in
reply to this, announced that for pc
Rod of ten days amnesty would be ex-
tended to all Filipino spies in the en-
ploy of the American forces if they
presented themselves to the insurgent
military or civil authorities. A single
exception was made in the case of one
Marcello Abinsay, who was denounced
as an outlaw beyond the pale, and a
reward was offered for his apprehen-
sion, dead or alive. while the death
penalty was pronounced against any
one found in his company at the time
Of his capture. The proclamation fur
Their declared that all the threats of
the Americans of pursuing the insur-
gents to the hills were idle, as the
American forces We're short of food
and ammunition and had received no
reinforcements for many months.

ARMoRED coFFlNs.
They Were Once Used In a Church-
yard In Scotland.

They Were Once Used In a Church-
yard In Scotland.
In the earlier half of the nineteenth
century the practice of stealing bodies
from the churchyards for the purpose
of sale as subjects for dissection, which
was known as "body ,snatching," was
for time very rife.
Various plans We're made to defeat
the nefarious and sacrilegious proceed
ings of the body snatchers," or 'sresur-
rectionists," as they were sometimes
called, very common one being the
erection of two or more small watch,
houses whose windows commanded
the whole burying ground, and in.
mounted guard for number of nights
after the funeral.
A usual method of the grave robbers
was to dig down to the, head of the
coffin and bore in it large round hole
by means of specially constructed
center bit. 1t was to counterfeit this
maneuver that the two curious coffin
like relies now lying on either side Of
the door of the ruined church Of Aber-
foyle, in Perthshire, were constructed.
They are solid masses of cast iron of
enormous weight.
When an interment took place one of
these massive slabs was lowered by
suitable derricks, tackles and chains
on to the top of the coffin, the grave
was filled in, and there it was left for.
some considerable time. Later on the
grave was opened and the iron armor
plate was removed and laid aside
ready for another funeral.
These contriyances still lie on the
grass of the lonely little churchyard,
objects of curiosity to the passing cy-
clist and Notwithstanding American.

Mistakes In Christening.

At Ramsbury Manor, England, there
once resided a poulterer's family of the
name of Duck. The third son was to
be christened, and the mother wanted
the name to be William. Just before
starting for church the nurse ran up
stairs to the father, who was laid up
with govt, to tell him they were off.
"What be going to call I'm, nurse?"
"Missus says it's to be William" was
the reply. civilian. be blowed!" said
the invalid. "Call un plain Billv' In
accordance with these laconic instruc-
tions the nurse gave the name Of Plain
bill to the clergyman, and the infant
was christened accordingly.
In an even funnier way is the queer
Christian name of Mr.. Ono Tichiner Of
Peckham accounted for. When his
parents and sponsors arrived at the
church, his name had not been settled
upon, and when the clergyman said,
"Name this child" one Of the friends
said "John," and another said ooh,
mol" meaning not John, and, as no one
else spoke, the clergyman thought that
was to be his name and baptized him
Ono. The full account of the baptism
is contained in Blanck's History Of
| Camberwell.''
A clergyman's son vouches for the
following: "My father was baptizing a
boy of years of age. The names CIV
en- were Benjamin Joseph. After the
ceremony he said to the boy, You have
two very good names, and you ought
to be good boy. How did you come
by themy Please, SIR said the boy,
we was twins, and the other diedY"

Yucatan Ruins,

"Apropos of the wonderful ancient
ruins in Yucatan," said New Orleans
college professor, there is one very
fortunate circumstance which has pro-
tected them almost entirely from spo-
liation by the Indians. 1t is currently
believed by the natives all through
that part of the country that the ruins
are haunted and that devils will carry
away anybody who attempts to modest
them. This superstition has been en-
couraged by, explorers and is better
safeguard than picket Of soldiers.'
