port from the sheriff of San Bernar

wanted there to answer a charge o
assault with a deadly weapon. TIT
charge grows out of a recent attacl
on a party of people who were being

The recent fight at Magtaon, Samar,

on the part of the natives. AS result
Of the fight. 80 Pulajanes were killed
and 16 of the constabulary killed and
wounded.
A dispatch received from Captain
Jones of the constabulary at Magtaon
said Governor Curry, Judge Lobinger
and Superintendent of Schools Hoover
arrived there and camped over night
near the Pulajanes. The presence of
the officials was made known to the
rebellious natives, and their leader an
nounced that he would surrender his
force the next day. AS a result of his
promise, the Americans returned to
the town of Magtaon, accompanied by
Colonel Aguillar, another Pulajane
chief.
The next day four chiefs of the Pula-
james with over 100 men and IA guns,
appeared at Magtaon and lined up in
front of the constabulary barracks. Be
tween the barracks and the Pulajanes
stood the group of American officials.
One of the chiefs expressed wish
that his party be photographed in the
act of surrendering, and Superintend-
ent Hoover, in compliance with their
request was adjusting his camera.
when the Pulajanes leader blew. a
whistle and gave an order to advance.
The entire party of natives then rush
ed upon the American officials, who
| escaped to Magtaon river and swan to
| the opposite bank. When the treach-
cry of the natives was apparent, the
constabulary Immediately opened fire
and fierce fight ensued, in which the
constabulary gained a decisive victory.
The Pulajanes we're chased to the
mountains, but the pursuers lost more
guns than they captured.
The American officials were later
found, with the exception of Governor
Curry. He was last seen being chased
by Pulajanes, and is now believed to
be hiding in the dense brush in that
locality.
Three hundred constabulary are now
on the trail of the fugitive natives and
searching for Governor Curry.

Can Chance Officials.

In Seattle the officials of the mu-
nicipal government are elected for a
term of two years unless sooner re-
moved. The power of election is vest
ed in the voters. The plan of removal
is simple. Whenever the constituency
of an elected public official becomes
dissatisfied with his services, no mat
ter for what reason, % per cent of
the voters, joining in a petition to that
effect, may call a special election to
decide whether he shall continue in
the Office or whether he shall be sue
ceeded by another candidate. When
such a petition is filed with the city
comptroller the city council must call
special election for the purpose, and
the election must be held within 90
days from the date of filing the peti
ton.

Prudy Ford, who drowned herself
at Hartford, KY, because of a charge
made against her that she had stolen
property and money from her room

watch and clothing she was supposed
to have taken were found later, as
well as $40 that was missing with
them. They were recovered by the
woman with whom she boarded and
who, it now also appears, was really
responsible for the indignity heaped
upon the young schoolgirl.

CURE CONSUMPTION BY COLOR
White Clothing Recommended for the
Patient.


The Practitioner, the favorite organ
of many medical societies in London,
has been making many experiments
which tend to show that color has a
favorable effect on consumption. The
theory is that light has a favorable
effect on sufferers from pulmonary
troubles, and that this presumably is
due to the bactericidal action of the
rays. From this 1t has been inferred
that the clothing Of consumptives
should be of such nature as to al
low the light to penetrate with the
least amount of interference. For this
purpose white stuffs are best, and
therefore it is contended that con
sumptives should wear clothing of
white linen, velvet, cotton or silk.
Next to white, garments of blue and
violet are TO be recommended, though
they do not answer the purpose as
we'll as white.
