Buried Alive.

A 15-year- old boy, the son of a
farmer named Emilio Cont, living in
the district of Campo di Marti, has
met with terrible death through the
ignorance and superstition of his
father. The boy had for years suffer
ed from paralysis and epilepsy, and
his father had vainIy consulted
various doctors and tried numerous
remedies to secure his recovery.
Latterly he was advised by certain
Ernesto Monti, man of S5, who en-
Joyed the reputation of being a
magician in the locality, to bury the
boy in grave, leaving only his
mouth and nostrils free. He was to
allow the boy to remain in that posit-
ion for five days at the expiration of
which he would be cured of his COM
plant.
Cont accordingly dug pit at the
rear of his house, and in 1T he buried
the lad, who, half paralyzed and
epileptic, made no attempt to resist
his fathers inhuman deed. Conti's
nelghbors, having heard of the affair
demonstrated with him, but to no
purpose. He vas sure, he said, that
the magician could be trusted, and
that his son would be cured.
The day following the burial, DR..
Frascanti, local practitioner, who
also tried to persuade Cont to extri
cate the boy from his grave, informed
the commandant of the corps of cara
biniers, and number of soldiers we're
at once sent to the spot with orders
to remove the boy.
On their arrival at the improvised
grave they found Cont occupied in
rubbing the boys head and face, the
upper part of which was all that
appeared above the ground, with
brandy. Three soldiers were i'm
mediately set to work to extricate the
lad-a delicate operation, as at every
attempt to remove him he screamed
with pain.
Finally, having been dug out, and
the clods of earth and clay removed
from his paralyzed limbs, he was
conveyed to the hospital, where he
died the same evening from shock
to the nervous system.
The father and Ernesto Monti. the
so-called magician, are both to be
prosecuted.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Cardina

The cardinal expressed the hope that

Rear Admiral Nebogatoff's ships was
exhausted when he surrendered was re-

the conditions which, according to the
Russian naval regulations, a command

condition being when the crew of a

when the ship is burned to the waters

Nevertheless, most of the naval men

officials of the foreign Office adopted
a non-committal tone regarding the
prospects, saying the decision rested
solely with the emperor, who up to the
present is firm for war.
On all sides it is realized that the
question of indemnity will be the great
est stumbling block in the way of the
efforts of the peace party. The war
faction urges that if Russia is obliged
to pay an enormous indemnity she
might as well spend the same amount
in continuing the war a year or two
longer and trust to financial pressure
to do it's work on Japan. They say
that Russia's situation could not be

The cabled reports of President Roose-

created quite sensation in diplomatic
circles here.
While the idea that the president has
taken such step aroused surprise in
some quarters. it was received with
unconcealed satisfaction in the belief
that it would hasten the decision of
Emperor Nicholas.
There is very good reason to believe
however. that the reports did not cor
rectly state the presidents attitude.
He had already made known to the
emperor In a personal message con-
veyed to him by Ambassador Meyer at
his presentation audience his willing
ness and desire to promote the cause
of peace and his conversation with
Count Cassini yesterday is believed to
have been in the nature perhaps of
stronger reiteration of his receptive at
titude without in any sense being a
formal tender of his good offices,
which might subject him to a rebuff.

versation has been eabled TO Foreign

RELIGIOUS EPIDEMIC
AMONG THE CHINESE
People Believe That the Gods Are
Now Passing Through

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, June 3.-It is report ed
by one of the missionaries in the work
of the Presbyterian foreign board that
in the districts of Kaomi and Kiaochou,
in China, there is a sort of religious
epidemic similar to those occurring in
Europe in the Middle Ages. A belief
has started among the people that the
gods are passing through the skies, and
that, If besought, they will provide
remedies with which the sick may be
healed.
The belief has spread with remark
able rapidity from village to village,
and in the fields hundreds of people
may be seen kneeling in prayer in front
of burning incense, with some cake and
wine as offerings. 1t is said that in one
village 1000 people were thus engaged.
When the incense is, burned the ashes
are taken and given to the sick to eat.
The officials are fearing that disturb
ances may result and are seeking to
put stop to the practice.
