HORRIBLE COUGH CURE.
Natives of New Guinea Massacre Those
They Blame.

London, (By Cable). - Lieut.. Gov.
George R. lie Hunte, in his annual report
on British New Guinea, tells strange
story of native superstition which is
causing the sacrifice of innumerable
lives. Whooping cough was introduced
there by two white children and spread
with frightful rapidity. 1t first swept the
coasts and is now ravaging the interior
AS the natives hold that death from any
cause is always compassed by an I'm
known enemy, only discovera.ble through
witchcraft, whenever village is at
tackled with whooping cough a sorcerer
is consulted. The latter invariably des-
ignates another village or tribe as cul-
pable and a midnight massacre of in
nocent persons follows.

Wounded-Two Schooners Sent Ahead OF
The Gunboat Go Aground-The Liberals
Claim That Three Hundred OF uenerai
Adams Force We're Captured.

Colon, Colombia, (By Cable).-Many
versions are current, all biased in favor
OF the Liberals, regarding the where
abouts and fate of General Adams ex-
pedition, which left Panama on Sunday
last. The following is the most anthem
tic and plausible On arriving off Pere-
quote, distant about 30 miles from Pan
ANA, and 10 miles beyond Chorrera, as
the crow flies, General Alban, on the
gunboat Boyaca, sent forward two
schooners, which grounded. The lib
erals on land Immediately poured a
terrible rifle fire upon these vessels,
Cavs;ng much havoc on board. General
NJ hen ordered the Boyaca's boats
10 =, the assistance Of the schoonerS,
The crew of the Boyaca complied, with
the result that many of them were
wounded, and the boats returned to the
Boyaca When ordered for the second
time to 90 to the assistance of the
schooners the boats crews refused on
the ground that it was useless to do so
that that such step meant sure death to
them. Hence, the Boyaca returned to
Panama, taking many wounded men
with her. The Liberals claim that 900
men of General Adams force were cap
tured in this way, and that they now
strengthen the Liberal ranks.
1t has been held all along that General
Alban undertook no easy task when he
attempted to land troops in the vicinity
Of Chorrera. The Generals return to
Panama was looked forward to with
great hopes, but when he returned in the
manner in which he did many people
there were discouraged and downcast,
which leads to the belief that the gravity
of the situation is recognized.

the Washington American League team
gave out the following criticism on the
playing form of Princeton:
Captain Green has been catching excel
lently this year and is very quick, his
throwing being strong and accurate. The
pitchers, UnderhilI and Stevens, are show
ing up very well. Neither is experienced,
but both show good control and coolhead-
edness.

ence than most of the team, although first
base is new position for him. Steinwen-
der at second has had a great deal of ex-
perience, knows the game well and bats
strongly. Hutchins, at third, is in very
good form and is batting and fielding well.

good batter.
