WALLER EXPEDITION
Details Of the Terrible Jour- Z ney Across Samar.
NINE MEN CRAzED BY HUNGER
For a Period of Fifteen Days Be- More Their Rescue the Party Had < Been With Only Roots and
 Pulp of Plants For Food.


 / WASHINGTON, March 13. U The Eastern mail has brought the report of Major rsWaller on the famous expedition conducted by him across the island of Samar. Major Walters reports are Formal and do not go into details, but the news of the affair is contained in a report from Lieutenant w. R. Shoe maker, U. $. N., who conducted the re- lief expedition that succored the ma rines. After detailing the arrival ill the American lines of Captain Porter and IAeutenant Williams, with a portion of fhe men, the report says:
 "On Jan. l, being then on half ra- tions, with very little food left, Major Waller decided to split the party, he taking fifteen of the strongest men and pushing to Basey and Captain Porter Following on his trail as rapidly as pos Eible with the main body. On the 2d native came back from Waller with B note stating that he (Waller) had given up the idea of getting through Rnd would return and directing Porter 10 make directly for the river and build rafts for the entire party This Porter tried to do but failed to find wood that would float.

up to be used in an emergency like the present. Porter reached the boat, but found she had been damaged and was unfit for use. So he started on twen- l ty-tive mile hike for Lanang, reaching there with three men on the afternoon of the 11th. Five men had given out; but, living on two dogs that strayed their way, they finally reached the post
 ''The relief expedition under Lieuten- ant Williams, First infantry, on ac- count of the height of the river, was unable to get away until the morning of the 14th. Williams deserves the highest praise for his twenty-five mile ! fight against the current and up the rapids, hauling his boats along by hand good part of the way. It was not un- 1 til the morning of the 17th that he reached the starving marines in their 1 last stopping place, near the river. Their condition at the time was terri ble. For days no man among them had strength to carry a rifle. Nine of them had either gone crazy or had fallen by the trail half dead from starvation and exposure. It had ralned steadily for eighteen days. Lieutenant A. $. Will 1 Hams had made every effort to get them along, but had to abandon them. He could only save the men who were able to reach the boat by the river, the probable point of arrival of the relief expedition. He got there on the night of the 16th inst, his party having been without food, except roots, the pulp of plants and very few sweet potatoes for fifteen days.
 Just before reaching the river two bearers tried to kill Williams, stabbing him about the chest with bolo. He tried to shoot, but had not sufficient strength to pull the trigger. Then they tried to kill him with his own pistol, but did not know how to work the weapon. Williams was rescued by a few of his men who tottered up, armed with sticks, and the natives took to the bushes.
 Ut took practically all of Jan. IS to get the sufferers, thirty-one in number. including two officers, eighteen in stretchers. unable to move, across the river and out through the surf to the vessel. The job was finished at 6:30 D. m, and at we started for Tacloban direct, as an army surgeon said at La nang that an hour saved in transit might mean an arm or a leg to some We reached Tacloban at a. m., and the worst cases were at once transfer red to the hospital.
 s"The others, including eight or ten natives not included in the above total of thirty-one, transported to Basey, seeing Major Waller. His party ap- pears from the statements of the off cers to have been reduced to nearly the same extremity as the others. They had practically given up hope when the oppoptune capture of small boy, the only native seen, resulted in their getting through to the coast"

A NEW PARLOR GAME.
Something Interesting for the Young Folks During am Evening
 Indoors.

A new game for boys and girls, and very good one for those interested in geography and the curious customs of the various nations. The name of this new game is "A Trip Around the World" says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Upon each of a number of cards is written the name of some country which traveller would cross on trip around the world. The cards are then shuf1ied, and from the pack each per- son draws one, or two if only a few persons are playing, in order that all the cards may be drawn.
 The leader in the game now an- nounces from what point the traveller in his long trip will start. The one holding the card bearing the name of that country then must tell some in teresting story about that country or it's people. While relating this tale he must speak as if he were the trav- eler who had made the journey and this was one of the experiences he had met with. When he has finished his story the one whose card bears the name of the next country passed through by the traveller begins his nar- rative. Thus one after another each of the persons is given an opportunity to try his skill in story telling.
 The game can be made very inter- esting, especially if some humorous in cidents are related. Thus, the trav- eler may have taken the course of the Philippines, and it is the duty of the leader to tell what course was taken. While at those islands he may have taken a ride upon the water buffalo. which became frightened, as these an- imals often do, and have thrown it's rider into stream, where it made it's escape.
 Or the traveller may have passed through Egypt and there met with some funny experiences riding upon camels. The curious customs and modes of dress afford very good top ics. It is good plan to distribute the cards at the time the invitations are made to the evenings entertainment, for then each one may have some time to look up some information upon his topic.

Lipton May Take His Cha1lenger to

 CHICAGO, March 13. - President Furber of the Olympian games com mittee has received from Professor Cox of the United States weather bu- reau a report that may determine the matter of great yacht race off Chica- go while the Olympian games are in progress
 When Sir Thomas Lipton was invited by the Olympian games committee to be present at the games in 1904 and if possible bring the new American cup challenger over here to sail on the lakes, Sir Thomas said:
 If the difficulties can be overcome, will show Chicagoans the challenger. If that is impracticable, I might con sider building a boat for the special purpose of competing on the lakes. At first glance the problem of getting a boat of the size of the challenger through the canals does not appear so great as the Chicago committee fears. The pontoons on which the Shamrock II. was launched are still available and ought to carry it through
 Acting on this, President Furber started to work at once Investigating lake data as to winds and depth of wa ter He has just received a report from Professor Cox which is extremely as- surfing. Tn closing the professor says, T assure you that there will be plenty of wind and water to sail any races.'s

FOR NICARAGUA WAY
Senate Committee Decides to
 Report Hepburn Bill.
HANNA'S OPPOSITION IS OVERCOME.
The Measure to Be Reported Is the One Recently Passed by the House Chinese Exclusion
 Bill Is Also Favored

I WASHINGTON, March 13.-The sen
 decided by vote of z to to report the
 Hepburn bill providing for the con 1 struction of an isthmian canal via the 1 Nicaraguan route.
 | When the recitation of the report had l been completed, Senator Hanna Sug-
 gested that probably the Colombian
 minister had been detained by unto l ward circumstances and proposed that action by the committee should be de 1 layed until opportunity could be had to ascertain Colombia's position. This suggestion met with a strong protest | from the friends of the Nicaragua route, and Senator Mitchell moved to report the Hepburn bill as it passed the house. Senator Kittredge moved to amend by postponing action until next
 Monday, but his motion was voted down-4 to z.
 Senator NIitchell's motion was car ried by the same vote reversed.
 The Hepburn bill authorizes the president to acquire territory for right of way for a canal from Costa Rica and Nicaragua, directs the construc- tion of a canal of sufficient capacity to accommodate the largest ships from Greytown, on the Atlantic, via Lake Nicaragua to Brito, on the Pacific, un- der the supervision of the secretary of war; authorizes surveys of the harbors at the two ends of the route, guaran- tees the use of the canal to vessels of Costa Rica and Nicaragua and appro- priates $10,O00,OOO for beginning the work.
 The senate committee on immigra- tion has agreed to report favorably the Mitchell bill for Chinese exclusion.
 Again the ship subsidy bill occu- pied practically the entire time of the senate. Mir. McCumber (N. D. present ed carefully prepared argument in which as a representative of an agri- cultural state he favored the bill on the ground of its protective features. F MT. Depew (N. Y.), one of the me1n- bers of the committee on commerce, de- livered an elaborate speech, in which he analysed the arguments both for and against the proposition to pay subsi- dies to the shipping industry. Both as an argument and as an oratorical eff fort the speech was brilliant and was listened to attentively by senators and by throngs in the galleries. His pero- ration, in which he pictured in glowing language the results of the operation of the bill, elicited hearty applause from the galleries.

table and mineral wealth and of peo-
ple skilled in the various domestic
crafts, orderly, gentle and hospitable,
but well enough satisfied with the lit
tie world to resent the intrusion of the
strenuous civilization of the outside.
Lieutenant De Clairmont was sta
toned at Pagbilao, Taijabas province.

white people told to him by one Man

and by the president of the province.

ing as their headquarters city of more

According to Castro the existence Of
these white folk was discovered twen-
ty-five years ago by a Spanish surgeon
who took two of the white children to
Europe. One of them he adopted and
educated as a lawyer. This one re-
turned to the island and afterwards
wrote to the Spanish surgeon. He had
found his parents. and had decided to
cast his lot with them and their people.
They were Mohammedans, he said, and
he proposed to devote his life to intro
-ducing the Christian religion and in
other ways to give the people from
whom he had been kidnapped the ben
eft of his wider knowledge.

In catarrh of the stomach, as well as

will effect permanent cure. Peruna
is surely wonderful remedy for ca
tarrhal affections,-J. ID. Botkin.
This is a case of catarrh of the stom-
ach which had run for twenty-five
years, according to his statement, and
Peruna has at once come to his relief,
promptly accomplishing for him more
benefit than he had been able to find
in all other remedies during quarter
of n century.
1t stands to reason that man of
wealth and influence, like a Congress-
man of the great United States, has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned to find a cure.
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is due
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stomach,
it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do SO.

POOR LoAs HOUSE SERVANT.
Indian Boys and Girls Taking to Do
mestic Work.

Indian schools all over the Southwest
have recently adjourned for the sum-
mer, and the students are being en-
ployed very rapidly by those who keep
servants. The Indian boys make ex-
cellent cooks, while an Indian girl,
once trained. is a fine maid of all work.
a modish hairdresser and endowed
with an inborn taste which becomes
picturesque when combined with a few
civilized touches. The system of train
ing now bestowed upon the red chill
dren at school teaches them to become
servile to their superior-the paleface,
and the present generation in training
have become so accustomed to serving
their paleface teachers that they are
more than willing to enter the house
hold as servants. Herein may lie the
solution of the servant-girl question
for a time, at least.
Indian youths are strong, agile. and
II brought up by the right kind Of
methods are perfectly willing to work.
They are healthy and quick of limb.
This makes an excellent combination
for a servant. Statistics of the Indian
taken recently show that of the $4,000
workers among the various tribes 5000
of them are employed as helpers in the
houses of the palefaces. You never see
the Indian servant at his or her best
until you visit the home of an Indian
agent on one of the reservations.-Chf-
