A Possible Outcome.


Mr.. Santelman disclaims that his inter
est in the Marine Band alone causes him
to oppose the resolution, and throws down
the gauntlet on behalf of the enlisted man
generally. But he fails to remark that the
enlisted man, when he enists, voluntarily
takes all the hazards and hardships of his
employment at a small wage. He seems
to think that when the enlisted man gets
a detail to the band, and is then relieved
of that hardship and hazard, he should be
allowed to go further and make outside
| wages, while his fel.ow-enlisted man, who
has no such good luck, must continue to
suffer his disadvantage at the wage he
agreed to. We shall next have the man
| detailed farrier claiming the right to set
| up blacksmith shop where he may have

certain that the Pawnee site will be

There are other sites in the arid reg

over the Pawnee site, but it is quite
possible that the latter may be select

Sterling Struck by a Tornado.

dollars was destroyed but no serious
personal injury was sustained by any
of the town suffered most from the ef-

lowing account of the damage wrought
by the tornado:
The 7-year old daughter of George
a. Henderson narrowly escaped serious
injury by being cut by broken glass
driven by the force of the wind l.. \.
MunSon'S barn was lifted from its
foundation, carried across an entire
block and driven like huge battering
ram against the residence of e. &.

completely crushing the iron bedstead
used by his two little children. a
81, 600 residence in course of compile
tion for Robert Parker was completely
demolished. S j. Ulrey, d. Mills and
Mr. Forbes each lost their barns, the
wreck in each place being total and
complete. A residence of MIR. Harnish
was destroyed and a new building own
ed by Contractor Keen was badly
wrecked. |Vindmills were blown down
for Mrs. Petit and Messrs. Conklin,
Henderson, Brush, Goodwin and Nor
risOn.
The chimney was blown from the
Methodist Episcopal church and the
large windows at each end of the
building were broken, and also por-
tion of the roof of the Methodist Epis-
copal parsonage was wiped off by the
force of the wind. A tree one foot in
diameter growing within thirty feet of
the residence of Walter Brush was
torn up by the roots and thrown across
the street. The demon OF the wind
then lodged past the residence, but
caught up the windmill and tower and
crushed it out of all semblauce of its
former shape. Lightning destroyed

Fearful PriVations Suffered by

DECEIT OF THE NATIVES
FILIPIN0S SAID THEY COULD
NOT FIND EDIBLE ROOTS.

Manila, Jan. 2S.-General Chaffee cur
tailed his trip and returned here this
morning. He says he found the con-
oluons satisfactory everywhere except
IN Samar, where continuous rain dur
ing the past two months has retarded
the campaign, especially against such
an elusive enemy.
The condition of Captain David P.
ForterS marines, who took part in the
expedition into the interior of Samar.
is much worse than previously de-
scribed. They suffered fearful hard
ships, and were without food for sew
eral days.
The natives who accompanied the
marines declared they We're unable TO
distinguish the edible roots, which the
marines did not believe. The anger of
the marines against the natives is in
tense. None of the latter returned with
the marines. The marines suffered so
acutely from starvation that they ate
raw the flesh of two dogs When Cap
tain Porter and the first three of his
men staggered into camp they were de-
lirious and difficulty was experienced in
ascertaining the whereabouts of their
companions.
Williams Of the First infantry head
ed the relief expedition in the face OF
a terrible storm which flooded the riv-
ers. He succeeded in reaching the re-
naming ten men, who would otherwise
have certainly persisted. He found
them all delirious. Two of the men
were discovered in branches Of trees.
barking like dogs. Some of the marines
are so i'll that they are not likely to
recover.
General Chaffee has endeavored to
obtain full details of the trip Of the
marines, but Captain Porter is not yet
able to lucidly explain matters.
The expedition into the interior of
Samar by Captain David P Porter Of
the marine corps numbered thirty-six
men. 1t had been absent two weeks.
The marines had been provided with
rations for only five days. On Jan. ,
Captain Porter and twenty-six mem
bers of his party reached the coast Of
the island of Samar. The other ten
members were missing and no nope of
their. safety was entertained.
