MORO POWER cRuMBLEs.
The Macius Offer but Little Resist
ance.

Manila, Oct. S.-The Maciu Moros
in Mindanao have offered but slight
resistance to the columns under Capt.
Pershing of the Fifteenth cavalry.
After a series of skirmishes Mon
day and Tuesday OF this week, the
Moros retreated into six forts on the
shores of the lake. When a courier
left Maciu yesterday for Camp Wears
Captain Pershing was preparing to as
sault the last Moro stronghold.
The American column reached the
former camp at Maciu Sunday night.
Monday the Moros opened fire with a
brass cannon and rifles from a series
OF new forts, which had been erected
since Captain Pershing's first visit
to the place. The battery under Cap
tain William S. McNair scaled a ridge
commanding the position of the Moros
and shelled them out.
The engineers under Captain Jay ].
Morrow had constructed a trail over
the swamp, Ranking the Moro posi-
position. The men of Captain Perish
ing's column crossed the swamp by
the trail and captured and destroyed
three Of the Moro forts. The Moros
stood but a short while, and ran as
soon as the artillery opened on them.
Captain Pershing has been ordered
to destroy the forts unless the Moros
make peace. Twenty Moros were
killed and many were wounded. There
were no casualties among the Ameri-
cans.

READY TO LYNCH
HORRIBLE CRIME DISCOVERED IN
MICHIGAN TOWN..
Little Girl Strangled to Death and
Buried by Her Murderer
An Arrest Made.

Menominee, Mich, Oct. 3.-Lying
in a %doubled-up position, the head
downward, the body Of Julia, the 10
year.old adopted daughter Of Inas
K%achincy, was found ten inches be-
meath the surface of the ground yes
terday afternoon, at the ear of the
blacksmith shop Of Joseph Beck.
An examination by physicians dis
closed u~nmistakable evidence of
strangulation. Beck was arrested on
suspicion, but denies guilt in the mat
ter.
The child had been missing since
Sunday morning. She is said to have
stopped at the. blacksmith shop on
her way to church and was never
seen a~fterward. Beck declares that
she left shortly afterward TO go to
church.
~ Investigation Of the premises result
ed in the discovery of the body. In
dignation runs high and the prisoner
is under strong guard to prevent
lynching, threats of which are heard
on all sides.
The girls shoes were found hidden
between the walls of the shop and her
hat was in a slip of the Girard Lumber
company, half a mile from the shop.
Two men say they saw Beck coming
from the slip at 8 o'clock Sunday
night. 1t is thought he carried the
body there with the itnention of
throwing it in the water, but changed
his mind and took it back to the shop
and buried it under the back steps.
Jim Hill, a companion of Beck, who
left town Monday to work in the
woods, will probably be sent for as q
witness. He and Beck were together
much of the time before he left. An
inquest was held this afternoon and
the prisoner has been bound over to
the November term of circuit court.

WHY NICARAGUA BUTTS INTO
IsTHMiAN WAR.
WANTS TO TIE up CANAL
BY ProIoneing Revolution May Pre-
vent Treaty Between United
States and Colombia.

OOIOu, OCJ. O.-WaT Is LnFedtcuSu
between Colombia and Nicaragua.
The relations between the two coun-
tries are SO >~strained that a n open
declaration Of hostilities may be ex-
pected at any hour. The trouble grows
out of the open action of the Mica
raguan government in aiding the in
surgents in Colombia. The Colon
bian minister at Managua has been
instructed to notify the N~icaraguan
foreign minister that interference in
Colombia's affairs must cease.
1t is not likely that President Eel
eva win pay any attention to the pro-
test.
The Colombian officials declare that
N~icaragua's real motive in aiding and
abetting the revolution is to prolong
the war on the isthshus and make it
impossible for the United States to
negotiate a treaty for the Panama
canal.
The Colombians charge that Mic
aragua hopes by this mean to turn
the attention of the United States to-
ward the Nicaragua route.
Costa RIGA also is believed to be
secretly aiding the Colombian rebels
because that country will be greatly
benefited by the construction Of the
Nicaraguan canal; but the Costa Ri
can government has entered an Of
fetal denial of it's responsibility for
the filibustering expeditions which
have left that country for Colombia.
The attitude of Costa RIGA is all that
has held Colombia in check and pre-
vented an open declaration of>Swar
with Nicaragua.
The Bogota government fears that
Costa RIGA will take the side of Mica
ragua and the two countries combined
would be more than a match for Co
lombia.
The American naval forces continue
to maintain open traffic on the Pana-
ma railroad, but there is not the
slightest doubt that if the marines
should be withdrawn, the movement
of trains would be interrupted. The
insurgents have a large force a the
railroad, and the line would be seized
within "a hours after the withdrawal
of the Americans.
All Of the foreigners on the isthmus
have united in appeals to the Ameri-
can representative to continue to pro-
tect the interests of other national
tiles.
Guerrilla bands of revolutionists are
constantly seen in the vicinity of the
railroad line, and the presence of
American marines alone prevents
them from holding up trains and de-
stroying property.
General Herrera, the rebel leader, is
gaining ground, and many former sup
p~orters. of the government are joining
his army. A number Of Colombian
soldiers who surrendered at Aqua
Iulce are now fighting in Herrera's'
army.

The caust of the explosion was fire
damp. The Pacific Coast company is
the owner of the mine and everything
possible is being done by the officers
of the company here to the
bodies. The fourth level is 1900 feet
below the surface.
AS soon as it was known last night
that the accident had occurred, the
people of Black Diamond hurried to
the scene of the disaster, n mile
from here. This afternoon a special
train bearing Coroner Hoye and as
sistants arreved here. Twelve COT
fins were taken from the train and
will be taken to the mine. Only three
bodies have SO far been recovered
and it will take some little time to
secure the remaining nine.
The fans r now working and the
deadly air is being cleared out.
The telephone line is down be-
tween the mine and Black Diamond
and details are meagre.

HOW MEXICANS LIVE.
Peculiar Customs Noted by Visitors
from the States.
Light breakfast Taken by fnhnbi-
tnnts of Our Sister Republic
Food of the working Pco-
pie Is Very Plain.

The Mexican breakfast, like that
Of the French, consists only of bread
and coffee. Lunch and dinner, or
dinner and supper, as they are call
ed, differ but slightly. Dinner is
served usually about o'clock. 1t
begins with soup and eggs. and then
follow a number of meats, each
served as a separate course, with an
entire change of service every time.
The meats are eaten quite alone,
few vegetables being served in ad-
dition to the salad course, and such
as are used for garnishment. The
dessert courses at a Mexican table
differ even more radically from those
served on American tables. Home
made pies, cakes and puddings are
practically unknown.
The Mexican housewife, says Mod
ern Mexico, pays comparatively lit
tie attention to the kitchen, and
rarely cooks anything herself. IL
pastry is desired, it is purchased at
the dulceria. Nothing is baked in a
Mexican house, even the bread being
universally bought from bakers.
Mexican cooks do not, as rule, un-
derstand pastry making, and their
sweets are limited to stewed fruits,
usually cooked to the consistency of
the richest and sweetest preserves,
so that a very small portion is satis-
flying.
Business hours in Mexico begin In
the afternoon at 2:3O or O'clock,
and run until Z or in the evening,
so that the supper hour falls any
where from $40 to an hour later.
This is probably one reason that
Mexicans are not more given to even
ing entertainments. Attendance up
on the theater entails the necessity
of an unusually early supper, or else
in postponement until after the per-
! formance, thing that often occurs.
On the oher hand, leisurely sup
per of an hour or more, beginning at

lieut.. Davidson had never broken
his technical arrest and he had never
done any gambling. He did take out
of his valise $50 bill which belonged
to soldier of his company; part
of sum of money the lieutenant
was safe-keeping for him; and the
soldier gambled it away. On this
slender thread his enemies went to
weaving a conspiracy against him,
and he was dishonorably discharged
from the army. During the past %
years he has been seeking justice be-
fore congress. He did not know Sem
ator Hoar, and had no friend in con-
gress to take personal interest in
him, He has now, and he will have
tho satisfaction of having his record
cleared of those unfair charges.
Another old soldier was met by the
narrator, and he, too, was in good
spirits, for the congress has passed
the bill placing him on the retired
list as a captain. Maj. James W.:
Long is we'll known in the northwest,
particularly in Michigan, where he
served for many years. Before the
committee on military affairs Maj.
Long appeared and told his story al
follows:

who inspected his company preferred
charges against him as to the condi-
tion of his company and wagons. OF
these charges he was acquitted. But
that did not end the matter. 1t is
we'll known to those familiar with
the old army that when conspirators
begin to seek court-martials they
usually succeed in some manner.
Charges were later preferred against
Davidson for "breach of arrest and
gaming in the presence of enlisted
men" He had not been placed in
close arrest during thetrial before the
court which acquitted him, but was
simply ordered to remain with his
company under arrest. He did not
leave the ranch of FL Louz, nor did
he leave his company. The assertion
as to gaming was that he had thrown
a SEQ bill on table that a Mexican
had in front of one of the huts at
| that ranch, where some of the soldiers
| played monte. The judge advocate
general, in May.1s7s, reported:
"The new evidence submitted may bt
deemed TO cast doubt upon the guilt OF
| the accused In view of this doubt thi
bureau Is now inclined to the opinion tina
| the sentence of the accused was probabl.
| too severe. He has suffered under thii
| sentence two and half years, and hi
| reappointment to the army would not b.
pretudicIal to the interests OF military jus
ncs."

o'clock, brings the close pretty
close to bedtime.
The Mexican day laborer swallows
a bowl of coffee at street stand
on his way to work if he is fortunate
enough to pass one, and has the
price, but usually he begins his daily
toll upon an empty stomach. About
o'clock his faithful spouse, or
some member of his family, and, not
infrequently, all of them. mother and
children, come trudging to the scene
of labor with basket containing
a pitcher of soupy brown beans, tor
tillas (corn cakes that form the staff
of life among the lower classes),
some rice and possibly some bits of
meat that are. minced in n tortilla,
which, in addition to serving often as
both bread and meat, is also knife
and fork and spoon. Bits are torn
off, and by deftly curling it into
semi-circular form and doubling the
end it is used as an effective scoop
for even liquid food.
A jug or pulque, the fermented
juice of the maguey or century plant,
that is the universal beverage among
the masses on the tableland, is also
usual accompaniment of this meal
The Mexican laborer does not have
midday rest, but works until about
o'clock, when the morning repast
is repeated without variation as tC
bill of fare. He begins his toll al
daybreak, and is expected to work
till dark, with little regard to q
clock. On his way home he stops al
pulqueria to have all the drinks
he can afford. and arrived at his
home he may find something more
to eat and he may not. 1t seems tC
make little difference to him.
The Mexican peon can eat more
or get along on less, than almost any
other laborer on earth. In the south
ern part of the country, where th'
mountain Indians are at times draft
ed for work in the lower country
these men bring with them a ball o
heavy cornmeal paste, about the siz,
of their heads, slung about thei
necks with string. When hungr.
they break off a piece of this ant
mix it up in a cup of water, and up
on this single ration they will sub
sist for an entire week.

statesman, but loveable
man of the plain people"
said a former army officer to-day.
The senator is now almost 76 years
of age, and of course is not as
strong physically as he once was, al
though mentally is he tower of
strength.
81 called on him at the senate one
morning recently, to tell him that
my bill for restoration in the army
was hung up in the house of repre-
sentatives. He told me that after
lunch he would personally look into
the case. Although he had many
matters of greater Importance on his
mind, when the time came the old
gentleman took me by the arm and
walked that long distance from the
senate to the house. That body was
in session, and l remained out in the
corridor while he went inside. He
saw members of the committee on
military affairs, and then left the
case in charge of representative
from Massachusetts, who is to look
after it.
"Now, if I had been n politician, I
might not have been surprised at a
senator doing so much for me. But
1 am not a politician, and I have not
voted in Massachusetts, for many
years. The senator knew me as a
citizen of Massachusetts, who had
| served in the civil war and after
wards in the regular army. He
knew that had been unjustly
turned out of the army, and he de-
termined to help me get justice. He
had the bill passed by the senate
two months ago, and now it must be
passed by the house. / am sure that
it will be all right, because the SEN
ator has taken a personal interest
in it. My Uncle Tom and he were
classmates at Harvard; hence he
knows the family, and has turned
aside from his duties of statesman
ship long enough to give me help
ing hand. Out of many years ex.
perience 1 can say that there are
| few senator's who would do so much
! for one who can do nothing in re-
turn, except express heartfelt
thanks"
Lieut.. Francis S. Davidson, who thus
tells of the kindness of the venera BILE
statesman from Massachusetts,, was
a cadet at West Point from July l.
1862, to January 81, 1865, when he was
commissioned a second lieutenant in
the Fifth Massachusetts, cavalry, and
served with that regiment until DC.

bly, mustered out with the regiment
On March Z, 1867, he was commissioned ed
second lieutenant of the Ninth United
States cavalry and promoted to first
lieutenant, July 81, 1867. He served
with his regiment on the Texas from,
tier against hostile Indians until July

company on scout and to make &
