Lieutenant Abbott a Hero.

Washington, Dec. 24.-First Lieuten-
ant George F. Abbott who commands
the ssth company Of Philippine scouts.
which was ambushed by natives at
Dolores, Samar, and one lieutenant
and 81 enlisted men killed, was a cor
poral in the ninth United States in
fantry in the fight at Tien Tsin, China,
during the boxer troubles. officers in
Washington familiar with his record
say that he distinguished himself in
that engagement by seizing the colors
when the color-bearer fell and holding
them in line. No advices regarding the
ambuscade have yet reached the war
department
Secretary Taft made public a mail
report just received from Governor
Wright in regard to the condition Of
the affairs in samar and other islands
Of the Philippine group. II is in part
as follows:
1.-THE great bulk of the civilized Fill
pinos live on or not remote from the
coast line, but there are scattered COM
munities living in the mountains who
are little removed from savagery. II
frequently happens that some enter
prising man among them will obtain
a considerable following and will per-
petrate all sorts Of outrages upon the
peaceful and inoffensive inhabitants.
This cannot be changed at once.
"A striking instance of the tenden-
| cies Of these mountaineers is furnished
/ by recent occurrences in the Island OF
/ Samar, which is the third in point OF
size in the archipelago. Two months
ago several hundred Of these hillmen,
under the leadership Of one Of their
number who styles himself Papa
! (Pope) Bulan, and who, as is usually
the case, claims to be divinely in
spired, suddenly descended upon the
native towns along the coast line
plundering and burning the outlyins
barrios, and began killing men, women
and children ndiscriminately. The
constabulary promptly took the field
against them, and they were soor
broken up into small bands and are
being pursued and killed or captured
Captured members Of the band stat
that the immediate cause Of the out
break was that certain Of their coun
trymen who were prominent in the in
surrection, and who have been EN-
ployed by mercantile houses as agent
for the purchase of hemp, had op
pressed them by paying them only
nominal price for their hemp, there
after turning it in to their principal
at a much larger price.

SUPPORT MAKES GOOD PITCHERS
TwirIer Mike o'NeilI Tells Some
Things About Baseball.

support has a great deal to do with
the record that a pitcher makes Nc
Ginnity and Mathewson are hailed as
the two greatest pitchers the game ever
has known, because they won so many
games for New York this season; but
the fact remains the same that n they
had not had the best Of support and
had been in the hands Of less
shrewd manager than John McGraw,
they might have been regarded as only
ordinary twirlers this season. SO
says Pitcher Mike O'Nelll I'm the SPORT
ing News.
1T Is only two or three years since
both Mathewson and McGinnity per-
formed IN an ordinary manner, so far
as securing victories is concerned.
Time and time again have I seen one
or the other Of them hammered all over
the lot and lose game after gamei prin-
cipally because they lacked intelligent
and weIl-hltting support.
In those days they were supported
by players who did not possess the In
telllgence to study the opposing bats
men, and the result was that hits that
should have been eaten up went safe.
At bat the team that supported them
was equally deficient IN good qualities
and the result was a dearth Of runs.
THE combination made the pitchers
look like ordinary twirlers instead Of
the stars that they are now with a
brilliant team behind them. Take
Frank Hahn, for instance. He has not
made a good winning record this sea-
son because he has not had proper sup
port

Crew Of Schooner Rescued In Mid
ocean After Frightful Experience.
New York, Dec. 24.-The fate Of the
little 79-ton schooner Josie M. Calder
wood, which sailed away from Dali
housie, N. s., early in November, was
learned when word was received from
Hamburg that the German steamer
Barcelona, from Baltimore for Ham
burg, had rescued the captain and four
men composing the crew Of the Calder
wood on November q. The men were
taken to Hamburg, and are now on
their way to New York after fright
full experience. The schooner, water
logged and helpless, was fred and was
ablaze from waterline to main truck
when the Barcelona steamed away.
The steamer spoke the schooner on
November o. when three days out
from Baltimore. Strong gales, with
hurricane squalls, had prevailed for
4S hours, and the seas were running
mountain high when the signal Of dis
tress set by the crew of the tiny
schooner was sighted. The crew Of the
Calderwood begged to be taken at once
from their sinking vessel. A lifeboat,
manned by an officer and four seamen,
was sent away from the steamer, and
after a terrible struggle succeeded in
rescuing the suffering crew and firing
the sinking vessel.
According to the story told by the
rescued men the Calderwood had Jared
badly in a long succession of heavy
gales. Wrenched and twisted by the
wind and waves. her seams had start
ed early in the voyage, and for days
the crew had been at the pumps with
out rest.

Sunday is especially the day when the
