The Cholera at Manila.

MANILA, March 25.-The outbreak of cholera here does not create alarm No white persons have been stricken with the disease. According to the re- port of the medical authorities there have been, all told, twenty-six cases and twenty-one deaths. Experts have gone to investigate the five cases at Malolos, just north of Manila, and the two cases at Aparri, in northern Luzon. The moving of trains on the railroad between here and Dagupan has been prohibited, and no boat will be allowed to leave Manila for interisland ports for the next five days. The object of these restrictions is to prevent a gen. eral exodus and the consequent possi- bility of spreading the disease.

The medical inspection inaugurated by the board of health with view to getting a line on families afflicted With smallpox is progressing rapidly and with very satisfactory results. Up to last night over 600 families had been visited, and while several suspicious cases were noticed and examined, still no new ones were discovered except at George Ouilette's, 199 River street, and at the Trepanier residence, 10 Walnut street, two places already quarantined. One of the Ouilette children and her grandmother is at the Isolation hos pital, and now boy, 10 years old, and his mother are down with the sickness. They have it in mild form. It may be found necessary to remove all of the Trepanier family to the hospital. Two of the children are getting over the disease, but, unfortunately, two more of them have contracted it. It is more severe in the Walnut street fam fly than on River street.
 So far all the patients at the isola- ton hospital are holding their own. and the malady has shown no sign of breaking out at any of the other places quarantined. There appears to be q difference of opinion between Dr David, one of the French Canadian doctors, and the health officer regard l ing the nature of the sickness ill the family of Ovid Montambeault on Jew elry street. Dr David does not con sider it smallpox, but Health Officer Kilmartin and Dr Frost are positive that it is. The place is quarantined 1 Those who think the quarantined parties spend all their time weeping make great mistake. They do noth- ing of the kind and they'd be very foolish if they did. On the contrary many of them never had q better time in their lives and others who are not naturally convivial have been coerced into merry moods by people about them who appear to be able to make l themselves happy under all circum- stances. At the Mccarthy block yes terday afternoon some one on the in side hung ''Boarders Wanted'' sign ill one of the windows fronting on 1 South Main street. It was the source of all kinds of comments from people on the street and judging by the antics of those on the inside they had lots ot
 sport watching folks gaping at it.

ropeka,s Mayor Horsewhipped.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 20. - Miss Blanche Boise, protegee of Mrs. Ma ton, horsewhipped Mayor Parker in his office at the city building. Three times she slashed the mayor before he tore the rawhide out of her hand and pushed her into the hall. When seen by reporters after his scourging, Mayor Parker refused to discuss it. The wo- man who whipped him talked freely. She said: 'I was in sympathy with Mrs. Nation, but did not take part in her raids. have come to the conclu- sion that the only way to make public officers enforce the temperance laws is to horsewhip them. have an organi- zation behind me, and we have whips for Governor Stanley and Judge Ha- zen.

STEAMER NoRD AMERICA.
Passengers in Peril-Heavy $
 Washed Over Vessels Deck.

Washed Over Vessels Deck.
 New York. March 25.-With her coal and water supplies almost exhausted, the steamer Nord America has arrived here. She had been forced to put into Bermuda on her way from Genoa and Naples. much to the relief of her forty two cabin and 1,300 steerage passen- gers, who had lived for days in hourly fear of disaster.
 Among the passengers was Frederick Taylor, fellow of the Royal Geo. graphical society, who for the last six teen months has been travelling in Borneo, Japan, China and Hawaii.
 sWe were but one day out from Na> pies when the first storm struck us, = said Taylor. ..The heavy sea washed over the vessels decks The ship had a small cargo and rolled heavily.
 s.The immigrants were lying all over the decks. exposed to the elements, and mothers, with babes in their arms. were drenched to the skin by the seas which kept breaking over the decks.
 ''On the night of March IS tile vessel was able to make small headway against the furious storm. Every sea that struck the ship shook her from stem to stern, and the crying and wall ing of the immigrants, who were panic stricken, made it night of horror for us all
 The captain did his best to calm the immigrants fears, but 1t was of no avail, and at consultation of the off cers it was decided to steer for Ber- muda. When the Nord America reached Hamilton the coal had run short and the fresh water had nearly given out"

JUDGE ROOTS CHARGE.
Tried to Put Attorney O'Neill in a
 Tight Place To-day.

The superior court re-opened to-day in a rather novel and sensational way. Judge Gager came here specially to hear the arguments in the case of Par tree ys Atwood for $15.OO0. This has been before the court about q week and some rather startling evidence was given by the principal witness, Mat thew Lynch. The principle grounds on which the complaint was based was alleged fraud on the part of Lynch and the defendent, by which the property occupied by Frank E. Smith on East Main street was taken from John Partree, deceased, husband of the plaintiff in the case, Ann J. Partree. Colonel Burpee appeared for the plain tiff and Warner and Root for the de- fendent. This morning Attorney Root introduced a motion asking that the case be re-opened, that additional evi- dence had been procured. which would show that Attorney John O'Neill was the real plaintiff; not Mrs Partree, and that Lynch, therefore. the principal witness was a conspirator to a suit against q former co-conspirator, the defendent
 Alr OsNeill was present, but having taken no part in the case so far except to instruct Colonel Burpee occasional ly. he said nothing. Colonel Burpee, however, picked up the gauntlet thrown down by Attorney Root. He said that he was glad Mir Root had in- troduced that motion.s He had heard a great deal during the past week about this matter and he did not like it, but he knew of no way in which he could stop it and was therefore glad that Attorney Root had now opened a way to that end. He was ready to put Mir O'Neill on the stand; also Mrs Par tree and whatever other witnesses MT Root might desire. He invited the utmost investigation. Mrs Partree and Mir O,Neill were thereupon sworn and from their evidence it was shown that while Mrs Partree believed she had a good case against the defendent she
 had not the funds to prosecute it. In
 her own words, she did not like to risk good money on money that was gone. So she agreed that if MT O'Neill should furnish the customary expenses to law suit, he could file proceedings and share in the judgment if any were given; if the case was lost, so much the worse for him. Judge Gager said it was hardly a matter worth consider ing and hoped no reference would be
 made to it in the briefs and arguments. His suggestion was followed. Decision was reserved

SHIPWRECKED SEAMEN.
Were Brought into New York This
 Morning by Steamer Antilia.


 New York, March 25.-The British steamer Antilia of the Montell line, which arrived this morning from Mas sau, brought six shipwrecked seamen who were forwarded by the United States consul at that place. The sea- men were the crew of the American schooner John k. Souther of Thomas ton, Me, which sailed from New York February IS, for Galveston. with a cargo of cotton ties, and foundered near Gingerbread shoa1, Bahamas, March Il. The story of the men was that from the day the vessel left port she encountered heavy gales from the southeast and southwest, with heavy seas, which caused her to labor and strain. The schooner began to leak and the steam donkey pumpswas put to work to keep her free
 When the fuel was consumed spare spars were cut up to keep the donkey pump going. All efforts. however. failed to keep the leak under control and the vessel became waterlogged. Captain Poole then decided that it was time to abandon the schooner and the boat was made ready. The crew were no sooner aboard the boat than the schooner went down, leaving them adrift on the ocean, fifty miles from the nearest land. They succeeded in reaching some one of the Bahama Islands with the boat and after re- maining some time were conveyed to Nassau on a spong fishing vessel The John K. Souther was built at Thomas ton, Me, in 1888, and registered S7I tons

STRIKE 1T MANCHESTER.
Fifty Silk Weavers at Cheney's
 Mills Went Out.

Objected to a Cut on Slece Work
 Prices-Unless Strike is Adjusted
 Soon 400 More Weavers Will Go
 Out.
 South Manchester. March 25.-Fifty men employed in the velvet weaving department of the Cheney Brothers silk mill went out on strike this morn ing because of an announced reduc- ton in the prices paid for piece work. There is Il prospect that unless an .ad- justment is soon reached the 400 other velvet weayers employed in the mill will join them
 The immediate cause of the strike was the notice posted by the company that F cents a yard would be paid to velvet weavers and each man must use two looms. Heretofore the men work ing each loom have received IS cents a yard The change is said to be the result of an experiment re- gently tried by which . few of the weavers were made to use two looms, receiving 16 cents q yard for the pro- duct. The notice explained that the men who work two looms were not to be reduced to 12 cents a yard immedi- ately, but are to receive day pay until they become experienced. All the men who went out this morning are employed in the room. where the two loom experiment has been tried, but as it is believed that the plan will eventually be applied to the other rooms where velvet weaving is done, there is prospect that the other weayers will join the strike About $500 hands are employed in the mill..
 South Manchester, March 25-The ranks, of the strikers were increased this afternoon by the velvet weavers, carders, loom tixers and others, making about 450 in all. A committee of six strikers will wait on the managers of the concern in the morning and try and settle matters
