To Round Up HostiIes.

Manila, Feb 1.-THE government is
preparing to thoroughly roundup the
.disorderly elements in Bulacan and
Rial provinces, where the constabul-
ary in accordance with orders re-
ceived from the war department, will
be reinforced by several companies
of native scouts. The rumors from the
dlsaffected provinces are believed to
exaggerate the number OF hostiles, OF
whom it is said there are 1000 in the
field. More trustworthy reports say
there are not over 500 natives under
arms and that the bulk of these scat
tered after Sundays fight. 1t is be-
iivered that the chief difficulty will
be in cornering them. There is little
doubt that the hostiles will be speed
lily suppressed.

Madiana, Captain Frazer, which sailed
from New York last Saturday with a

cruise around the Caribbean islands,

at a. m. The passengers had thrill

and brought safely to land after a
perilous trip in life boats from the
wreck to tug standing mile OF.
The mails and the passengers bag
gage also were saved.
All the passengers were in their
hunks when the Madiana struck the
rocks, but the shock of the impact
awakened them and they rushed on
deck, the majority of them without
attempting to dress. Considerable
alarm, although not a panic prevailed
among the passengers when they
found that the vessel was hard on the
rocks, but the officers went among
them and calmed them, although a
number did not venture below again to
seek their clothing.

soon restored order among the trouble

The Madiana listed heavily after a
time and when morning broke, lay
broadside to the wind. The passen-
gers were huddled together on the
hurricane deck and the sea breaking
over the steamer drenched them to the
skin.
AS soon as the news of the wreck
became known here government and
other tugs proceeded to the scene to
endeavor to render assistance. A
heavy sea- however, was running and
they dared not approach too closely
to the reef on which the Madiana was
pounding. For some time no commu-

mile off awaiting an opportunity to as

this morning that it became possible
to effect rescue. The crew of the
Madiana launched boat, but it could
not live in the sea then running and
was dashed to pieces against the

later and some of the passengers were
lowered into it, and after much exer-
tion 1t succeeded in reaching the Glad

were then launched in succession and

Frances bethought her of a fitting op-

During a conversation held several
weeks before Vladimir had expressed a
desire to study certain books which
were apparently beyond his reach.

and she did so. These made quite a re-

Without Mercy for Slight Offenses.

VtlIiSlt "SiSy tOI 0iiSue SuSISSSs
London, Feb. 11.-Rear Admiral
Basil Cochrane, in letter published
by the Times, makes astounding rev.
elations regarding the ''barbarous
system" prevailing among the guards
regiments for the punishment of sub
alterns who are found guilty of social
or military offenses. According to
Rear Admiral Cochrane. the colonel of
one battalion has been in the habit
of handing over offenders to the senior
subalterns, the latter summons
court-martial, at which the attend
ance of all the subalterns is exacted,
and the sentence is almost invariably
aogging. This is administered on the
bare back, after the removal of all
the clothing, and from six to forty
blows are given with such severity
that the lower number is sufficient to
draw blood All the officers present,
even the most intimate friends of the
victim, are compelled to administer
their share of blows.
