ISIO TURNS BANDIT,
COMMANDED AR hIES

Writing from BacaIod, the corre-
Spondent Of tho Manila Times says Of a
prisoner now held at that place:
" Papa Isio seventeen years ago was
working as a lEborer on The hacienda
of a s9aniard named Echevarria in
Pontevedra, but one day had a fight
with his employer and split his face
open with a bolo and then betOok him
self to the mountains and organized a
band which he named 'Civel-Civil.'
something on the order Of the 'Dios-
DiOs' Of Papa FaustinO Ahlen in Leyte
But in 1893. during the insurTectiOn. he
became inspired, after an alleged in
terview with the Lord, and announced
himself ss Pope He insists that he
has been working under the direct SUI
Dervision and IN obedience 70 the YER
bal orders OF GCd. Not only IS he. or
has been, acting unde- His orders, but
lie has paid IsiO, according 10 his
statements. many personal visits at his
camp in the mountains.
Having all the appearance Of a com
following o. approximately 20eD noun
tain people, and at times an active
following OF a great many Cut-throats.
and at all times a close personal fol-
lowing Of generals and colonies, always
ready to do his every bidding-raid Il
mand and collect ransoms, cut throats,
burn towns. These return to his noun
tain fastnesS to receive either his bless
ing for successes or condemnation for
failures. turning over to him all of their
prisoners or plunder. Each and every
one Of his immediate followers solemnly
declares that on various occasions Goo
himself has come to their camp In the
mountains, In a steamship through the
air accompanied by six angels, and
that q band of musicians. with golden
instruments, always accompanied him
"Isios followers add that the Lord
would always disembark from His
aerial steamer and walk and talk
with Papa IsiO in Latin, he, Papa
Isio. translating His remarks to his
followers in Nisayan although IsiO
knows no Latin and very little Span
ish); that God was always white: that
lie always had a nalo around His head,
brighter than the sun; that He always
wore a long, red robe and had whiskers;
that His angels were all white; but that
part of His golden band were FilipinOs;
that very often the Lord was accom-
panied by RiZal, Padre BurgOS and va
rious other celebrities, both dead and
living. These assertions every one Of
Isio's followers adhere to with fanatical
earnestness.

Now that the Atlantic feet is out
of the way and orders have been sent
forth by the Navy Department for nee
'essary repairs and overhaul'ng to be
made on the ships remaining on the At
lantic coast. the Board of Inspection
and Survey has been busy making sur
veys of the different vessels to de-
termine the extent and cost Of repairs
needed.
Reports have reached the department
on the inspections made on six OF the
vessels and authorization was given to-
day by Secretary Metcalf 70 the Bureau
: OF Construction and Repair to make re-
pairs on the following: The Columbia
and Minneapolis, repairs 70 the extent
OF $4,000 each: Indiana, repairs to the
cost OF $50. 600: the Amphritrite $4,000:
this work all TO be done at the League
Island navy yard. the torpedo boat
. Wilkes, $4,000. at the Norfolk navy
yard. and the Paul Jones at the Mare
Island yard
Special authorization OF Congress will
be necessary TO carry out all the need
ed repairs OF the latter vessel, however,
for their cost will exceed the limt of
20 per cent Of the vessels original cost.
Surveys are now being made on the
other old vessels on the Atlantic coast

Within q few weeks. IL is expected,
that the amount Of work being done al
the different Atlantic coast yards will
: be even above normal. although slightly
under that Of the past few months.
which has been extraordinary on ac-
count of rushing the ships of the At
lantic fleet IN readiness for the cruise.

readily find some one 20 translate IL TO
her. But the Bohemian letters which
he received from her and which. among
