Advices received at Tacoma. Wash
by the steamship Tacoma state that
the insurrection movement in Formosa
is more serious than supposed. Twenty
five hundred natives in southern For
mosa have taken up arms against the
Japanese authorities. The prevailing
conditions are similar to those in the
Philippines, making it almost impos-
sible for the japanese troops to follow
the insurgents into the swamps and
jungles where the latter are able to
live. In the last battle the Japanese
lost q killed and two wounded. Twelve
insurgent leaders and 156 of their fol-
lowers were killed or captured
Neither party gained any advantage by
this battle. The insurgents are carry
ing forward such vigorous campaign
that the Japanese have sent Is COM
panies of militia against them.

1.-THE most remarkable instance OF
animal trimming ever witncSScd,' is
how the managers Of hippohr'mcs and
variety thcaters are wont ia describe
the act presented by Captain Wood
wards famous Alaska sea lions and
seals,
These wonderful deniZenS of the deep
do far more startling things than any
other animals now before the public.
They emulate human beings in every
conceivable way. They bow, shake
hands, sit in easy chairs. fan them
selves. smoke and even talk and sing
songs. And besides all this they per-
form feats which the average man
would find beyond his powers.
One of the seals for example. is able
to catch on its head conical shaped hats
thrown from the pit of the thcater by
obliging spectators. As the clever ami
NAL catches each hat it jerks it into the
air. where it turns three or four times
and falls back on the head of the seal,
who then hurls it backward with un-
erring aim into the hands of an as
sistant standing some little distance
behind.
