MOSQUITOES on a Rampage.

Word comes from Crisfield, Md, Of
the death of one man from an at
tack made by mosquitoes while he
was passing through wood. An
other report from Austin. Tex, tells
of an attack made upon oil operators
in the region of Sabine, Tex. in which
mosquitoes came from the salt
marshes in great clouds that dark
ened the sun and forced the work
men to flee for their lives. Many
head of cattle and horses were re-
ported killed in this last attack. As
the government has lately expressed
an intention to exterminate mosqui-
toes and suggested the use of kero-
sene oil on ponds and stagnant wa
ter, this fierce and aggressive attack
by the enemy must have been to seize
the base of supplies.

BRITISH NAVAL
DISCUSSION
Row Over the War Marine NAY
Follow Army Con-
trOverSy.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-A dispatch
to the Tribune from London says:
Last week, in the House of Com
mons, the military members had mat
ters all their own way in discussing
the estimates for the British army and
in the case of General Colville. This
week, however the countrys first line
of defense VIII be the principal topic,
and the naval experts will have a
chance to air their opinions. Arnold
Forster, as secretary of the admiralty,
viii make a statement explanatory of
the navy estimates. His speech might
be very important one, considering
the number of men and boys to be vot-
ed, total of lis, ,625, as compared with
ia $50 twelve months ago; and the sum
of money required amounts to C ,875.
500, showing a net increase of upward
of 92, 600, 900, Mr.. Forster is expecting
to make special reference to the ques-
ton of Belleyille boilers and Holland
submarines. Over one million horse
power of Belleville boilers has been paid
for or ordered by the Government, not
Iwithstanding committee experts did not
consider the Belleyille had any such
advantage over other types Of water
tube boilers as to lead them to recon-
mend it az the best adapted for the re-
lquirements of the British navy. The
case against the admiralty authorities
is not that they adopted the boiler in
its infancy, but that after it's adoption,
and when other and better types were
obtainable, the Belleville was still ad-
hered to.
With regard to the question of Hol-
land submarines there cannot be any
reasonable doubt. If the admiralty
should be satisfied with promised ex-
iperiments the country will be commit
ted to an expenditure on the construc-
tion of a large number of these boats
Especially for operation in the principal
colonial harbors, many of which are in
need of more adequate naval protec-
tion

SERMON ON MISSIONS.

it of giving, both among the rich and
the poor. and commented on Andrew
Carnegie's big offer to New York city.
Mr. Carnegie, in the generosity of his
gifts said DR.. Macarthur, has start
led America, Europe and the world. He
is certainly one of the most remarkable
men in his requirement and distribution
of money the world has ever known. He
has himself told me it required as much
thought and effort to distribute money
widely as to acquire it freely. His great
gifts will stimulate other millionaires to
maintain the pace he has already set,
He is making heroic efforts to die poor.
His act is a rebuke to many churchmen
who profess a longer creed but whose
list of good deeds is shorter. His act is
also rebuke to certain dangerous So
calists whose words seem at times TO
disturb all our business and social re-
lations. Thousands viii rise UP to hon

PACIFYING THE
PHILIPPINES
A New Province Instituted by the
Governing American
Commission.

ROMBLON, Island of Romblon
March 17.-(By mail from Boac, Island
of Martinique, March 1S.)-The ques-
ton of attaching this island (Marindu-
que) to Tayabas, discussed by the
American Philippine commission since
their arrival here, has been decided in
people was wholly in favor of forming
a separate province. A population of
$4,000 was represented during the dis
intelligent delegations from all the
towns on the island.
There are three hundred insurgents
still in the mountains of Martinique,
but otherwise the inhabitants are anx-
'ious for the pacif1cation of the island
and to accept American sovereignty.
Judge Taft has announced Captain
Randholtz to be chairman of the vari-
Gus committees of natives formed to
organize municipal law in the towns of
Martinique. Judge Taft has promised
that the commission will return and
Organize the province of Martinique.
Major Smith, commanding the Ameri-
can garrisons on this island, has issued
an order requiring all natives to live
In the five principal towns where
American troops are stationed. Those
natives who continue to live in the
country will be considered insurgents.
A few insurgents have recently been
killed or wounded near these towns and
their supplies have been destroyed.
| The inhabitants of this island favor
a drastic policy toward the insurgents.
The American Philippine commission
will soon prepare a recommendation to
President Mckinley on the form and
character of the civil Government to
be established in the archipelago. The
matter has as yet received only formal
consideration. This port will be the
capital of the newly formed province,
composed of adjacent islands 1t is
situated at the mouth Of a deep valley
and has a splendid harbor. The people
are thrifty and prosperous and there
are no insurgents here.
| Major Evan M. Johnson, Jr., of the
Twenty ninth Volunteer Infantry will
be Governor and Captain Albert S
Williams of the same regiment will be
Treasurer of the new province.

NEGROES WANT
TO LEAVE SOUTH

Twenty Thousand Would be Glad

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The Rev.
Simon P. Drew. pastor of St. Stephens
Colored Baptist church in Astoria has
South, made in the interest of his race.
My Investigations in the South" he
said last night, satisfied me that dur
ing the next month at least 10000 col
ored people hope to leave the South
and come North to accept easy positions
at salaries ranging from $50 to 5000 a
month. The people do not know the
conditions prevailing up here. They
have been misled by glittering adver-
tisements, promising big salaries in re-
turn for their services, but when they
get here what will they find awaiting
them? Why, in a city that is cold to
the individual without money, and, If
he is like these colored people would
be, without friends as we'll, his case
would Indeed be a forlorn one.
SCI must state that am not opposed
to the Southern negro coming North.
On the contrary, 1 believe it would be
a good thing for him, that is, if he has
money to care for himself and family
while establishing himself here. What
I mean by this is that he must forget
southern customs ana conQlt1onS ana
be thoroughly adapted to the customs
and conditions of the North. While
this change is taking place he must be
able to aid himself from his own pri-
vate resources. The negro without a
fair amount of capital has no business
as far away from his real home as the
North is unless he is capable of main
tanning himself independently for at
least six months of regular employ
ment. If he has family he will need
private resources to a greater extent"

PROSPECTS OF
The BIG CANAL
Nicaragua Clears the Way for
Uncle Sans B Hiding .
Program.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE impor-
tant information was received here to-
day that Nicaragua had denounced the
treaty it made in 1860 with Great Brit
ain for the construction of a trans-Isth-
mian canal.
The equally important statement. was
also made that Nicaragua had not de-
nounced the treaty it made for the same
purpose in 1867 with the United States
1t is believed here that if Nicaragua
had not denounced the old British con-
vention, representations would have been
Lord Pauncefote. 1t has been ascertain
ed by the Examiner; however that
Lord Pauncefote has not called to the
attention of either Nicaragua or Costa
Rica the fact that in Great Britain's re-
cent reply to the United States she
maintained that the Clayton -BuTwer
treaty was still in force. There was no
obligation on the part of Great Britain
to convey this information to Nicaragua,
but it was expected as a matter of cour-
tesy. sa
Nicaragua now occupies a very strong
position and one of particularly friend
ly relations to the United States with
reference to the Nicaragua, canal Mica
ragua and Costa Rica, it Is true, are in
favor of neutral canal, but not to the
extent demanded by Great Britain Mic
aragua has wiped the special British
treaty off the books and has now no
entanglement whatever, because Mica
ragua is not a party to the Clayton
Bulwer treaty.
The fact that Nicaragua has decided
20 let the treaty of 1867 with the United
States stand, is of the greatest signifi-
canoe. While officials are not willing
to Indicate that Nicaragua is putting
herself in a position to deal with the
United States and remain unterrified by
the English claim that the Clayton Bull
wer treaty is still alive
WASHINGTON March 1-If the
view of the Administration is supported
by the next Congress. the President will
be given discretionary authority to ac-
quire either the Nicaragua or Panama
canal route. Thus has the stock of the
Panama Canal risen since the adjourn
ment of Congress.
WASHINGTON, March B-Secretary
Hay had a long conference today with
Senator Morgan respecting Isthmian ca
nal matters and the advisability of re-
opening negotiations for a treaty with
Great Britain on the subject. The Sec
retary is losing no opportunity of ac-
quaintfng himself with the views of Sen
ators OBJ this subject and the confer
ence today with Senator Morgan is only
one of nearly dozen he has had on the
same subject with leading Senators aud
Representatives since the adjournment
of the Fifty-sixth Congress
