STARVING MARINES
EAT RAW FOG MEAT
Lost on SaInar Island They
Suffer Agonles.
FOUND IN DELIRIoUo STATE

| When Rescued Two of Them Were In
the Branches Of Trees Crazed and
Barking Like Dogs-Many May Be
Permanently insane.
Manila, Jan. 29.-General Chaffee
| curtailel his trip and has returned
| here He says he found the conditions
| satisfactory everywhere except Samar,
where conttnuouc rain during the past
two months las retarded the cam
paign, and especially against such an
elusive CnCMy.
The condition of Captain David d.
Porter's marines, who took part in the
expedition into The interior Of Safpar,
is much worse than previously describ-
ed. They suffered fearful hardships
days
The natives who accompanied the
marines claimed they were unable to
distinguish the edible roots, which the
marines did not believe The anger
of the marines against the natives is
with the marines.
The marines suffered so acutely
from starvation that they ate raw flesh
of two dogs.
When Captain Porter and the first
three of his men staggered into camp
they were deliriOus and difficulty was
experienced in ascertaining the where
abouts of their companions.
Williams, of the First infantry,
headed the relief expedition in the
lace of a tOrrential rainstorm which
flooded the rivers.
He succeeded in reaching the re-
naming men who would otherwise GER
tainly have perished. He found them
all deliriOus. Two of the men were
discovered in the branches of trees
barking like dogs. Some of the ma
rines 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 led by Captain David Porter, of
the marine corps, numbered 6 men. 1t
had been absent two weeks. The ma.
rines had been provided with rations
for only five days. On Jan. 21 Cap.
tain Porter and 26 members of his par.
ty reached the coast of the island of
Samar. The other ten men were miss
ing and little hope of their safety was
entertained.

STRANGE SUPERSTITION.
Georgia Negro Robs a Corpse to Sc
cure Charm.

AdaiTsville, "a, Jan. 29.-One of the
most mysterious cases of negro super
stition has just come to light near
here. The grave of Godfrey Barnesly,
who has been buried for more than 80
years, was found opened and his right
hand had been cut off, evidently by a
negro for the purpose of obtaining the
first joint of the middle finger as a
charm.
The grave is located on the old
Barnesley estate, miles from here.
When it was found disturbed an inves-
tigation followed.
1t was first thought the motive
might have been robbery, as there
were stories around to the effect that
Barnesly had been buried with lot
of money and jewelry. Relatives, how
ever, say lnis was not the case. In
deed, upon investigation the body
seemed not to have been tampered
with except in the cutting off of the
hand. 1t was in fairly good state of
preservation, except that the flesh, of
course, had withered away and crum-
bled to dust.
The hand, however, was missing,
and it is explained on the theory of
the negro superstition that if a per-
son carries always with him the first
joint of the middle finger of a man
who has been buried he will never be
arrested. no matter what crime he
may commit
Circumstantial evidence points very
strongly toward a negro who has been
loafing around Adairsville for some
time. He borrowed a wrap recently
from a party for the purpose of at
tending to some work, as he said
When the wrap was returned it con-
tanned red mud. An examination show
ed it was practically the same as that
found in the grave.
The negro has also made some re-
marks about a charm he possessed
that would prevent him from being ar
rested. Since the discovery of the
opened grave the negro has not been
seen around the community.

RECEPTION TO HoBsoN.
Lectures Before the United Daughters
of 1912 on NaVv.

Lectures Before the United Daughters
of 1912 on Navy.
New York, Jan. 29.-Captain Rich.
mOnd Pearson Hobson was given an
enthusiastic reception last night when
he lectured before the United Daugh
ters of 1912 upon the needs of a great
er navy.
Captain Hobson blamed congress for
its Indifference to the needs of larg-
er navy. He said that $4,000 900
ought to be appropriated every year
to the navy, and that this year twice
that sum should be given. He gave
four reasons why there should be a
larger navy, as follows:
First, we have gigantic interests
that>require a big navy.
Second, we have duties which we
cannot escape which require larger
navy.
Third, we require a greater navy
because We can afford it.
Fourth, our navy is weaker than
that of other powers of the same in.
