He was young, an American from civil

them to announce throughout the village
that the datto chieftain would be buried

Moros on the three sides Of the square
stood In silence looking on.
Into this silence stepped two grizzled

PREPARATION FOR SACRIFICE.


while he was killing them.
PREPARATION FOR SACRIFICE.
This was the thing for which the cere-
monies Of the tribe had been preparing
the religious enthusiast. For days and
nights the priests had led him into the
woods. and inCantations without end had
been pronounced over him. He had been
wrought to a high pitch Of religious
frenzy. More than this. he had been
subjected TO great physical pain. About
his limbs had been wound cords and
thongs. So tightly were they bound
that they cut into the flesh. This served
a double purpose. In the first place the
intensity Of the pain made the Juramen-
tadO insensible to the pain Of wounds
that he would receive when he sought 10
carry out his purpose. In the second
place they prevented his bleeding to
death so quickly from those wounds, and
he would live longer in the fray and
might therefore kill more Christians.
These runnings amuck sorely baffled
[
nal was killed, and he would do no fur
Their damage But the success OF his
exploit was cement TO other IA
natics. More and more Of them wanted
10 die thus The practice became more
and more frequent. In that there
seemed no greater way TO punish man
than TO kill him. the soldiers were In a
ouandary. They could conceive or no
method Of terminating the practice'
They were constantly paying with their
lives for an inability to meet the emer-
gency.
Datto Dali was the most desperate OF
the local leaders. Not only did he In
duce individuals TO commit this sort OF
suicide. but he worked bands OF his fol-
lowers into these religious frenzies and
nrecipitated them upon his foe.
Lieutenant Edward Y. Miller was In
command Of body Of troops that occu-
MED the village about which Datto Oali
onerated. He had lost many OF his men,
b,,t was unable TO check the murderous
ratives Again and again did these
bloody occurrences repeat themselves
and they were always successful from
the standpoint Of the native. The natives

the sacrifice.

and moderate trade buying.
Prices at midday were about to 4
points net higher. The reports of frost
