PIRATES LED BY A WHITE MAN.
Genuine Case Of "stand and Deliver"
in PHILIPPINES

Victoria, b. c., Dec. 1.-THE steam
er Shawmut, from Manila, brought
news of piracy on the Philippine island
coast, the desperadoes being led by an
American The brig Marcia, bound
from Catanauan, Payabas, for Manila,
had beaten up the coast and was
beached off Cavite bay. She had as
passengers five Chinese merchants
who were OH their way to Manila to
purchase goods. During the night a
sloop came alongside and six men
climbed over the rail and Immediately
overpowered the captain and crew,
binding all hands with ropes. One OF
these men was an American, dressed
in the garb of an inspector of con-
stabulary. Two of his followers also
wore constabulary uniforms and car
ried revolvers, as did the American
The remaining three Filipinos were
armed with bolos.
Upon the pirates reaching the deck
OF the Marcia the leader claimed he
was a board of health inspector and
intended to search the vessel for arms
and ammunition. Instead of doing
this, after the crew had been over
powered, the Chinese were brought
forth and at the point of drawn re-
volvers were made to give over their
money, about $4,000.
Obtaining this, the pirates embarked
in their boat again and, heading to-
ward Cavite, threatened to kill all
hands on the brig if they did not keep
quiet. When the vessel arrived at Ma
Mia the customs authorities were in
formed, but no clue was found to the
robbers.

MINES AND MINING NEWS
MANY OF THE MINES IN THE
NORTHWEST PROGRESSING.
Items of Interest of a Miscellaneous
Nature Gathered During the Past
Week-New Districts Brought to
the Eront-Many Mining Accidents
and Personals.

Recent events have given ground for
the belief that the result of the nego-
tiations now in progress on the coal
miners strike will be the ultimate
sale of the properties of the individual
companies to the large coal carrying
companies. This will not be done at
once, but it is regarded here as GER
tain to come in the not distant future
because it is believed to be the only
solution of the present situation and
is the outcome which both the indie
pendents and the large companies de-
sire. 1t is estimated that the colleries
of the 67 independent operators can
be purchased for s145,000,000. These
plants produce three tenths of the to-
tai output of coal.
