China relates horrible details of the
warfare in that country and says:

soon cease. The depravity and bes-
tiality among our troops is enormous
ly on the increase. Large numbers
of old soldiers are sentenced to long
terms in the penitentiary and Jail for
murder, rape or burglary. Our losses
are certainly greater that way than
by death. Diseases are still rampant,
especially typhus. Dysentery is de,
cTeasing. During November there
were nine deaths from disease in Pao-
Ting-Fu alone, and also two from

there is no need of it. The disease is

They have caught Republicanism and

London, Jan. 31.-The West Indian
troops stationed at the island of St,
Helena, where General Cronje and a
large number of Beers are held pris-
oners, mutinied Jan. 2, raided the
town, terrorized the inhabitants, in
iured many of them, defied their Off
GERS and were only finally subdued
when faced by the muzzles of rifles.
The censor suppressed the news, but
The Associated Press has received the
story by mail. The trouble began
with row on the night of Jan. be-,
tween some bluejackets and a party of
the West Indians. On the following
night the West Indians broke out of
barracks and raided the town with
clubs and razors tied to sticks. They
ran amuck, cutting and beating wo-
men, children and men indiscrimin-
ately and attacked the Sailors Rest,
tearing out the doors and windows.
All the efforts of the officers to sup
press the mutiny were futile. When
to the camp they refused to
obey and threatened to dynamite the
town. A strong naval force was land
ed, the available troops were collected
and the streets were paraded and
guarded all night.
At daybreak the troops were drawn
up with loaded rifles in front of the
place where the West Indians we're
barricaded. The latter were ordered
to surrender and were notified that

Smallpox in EIdorado.

The Herman Enterprise is authority
for the statement that there is a case
of smallpox in Eldorado, Mrs. Arm

It seems that she was on the same
train that carried the travelling troupe
that took the disease into Wheaton
and it is supposed that she contracted
the ailment in that way. Further
particulars relating to the case have
not yet been learned other than that
the case is very mild one as is char

which prevents Tammany from having any
thing TO do with it. Similarly there was lot
of talk about the new public library and Nh

been intrusted with the latter: the fact being
that Tammany has been and is scrupuously de-
