In the present case, owing to the
affiuent circumstances of the deceased,
the coffin was OF full length. its frail
construction in the style Of toy
Swiss cottage. The two sides were
hung with bamboo curtains Of SO loose
a weave as to show plainly the out
line of the body which was that

lowed by rikishas containing the
mourners and friends. On reaching
the auditorium of nearby Buddhist

admittance. The affairs In these tenn

Of each one stood tray with cigar

a live coal to furnish light for the
smoker.

floor at the left. Just back Of the al
tar enclosure stood a low stand; be-
hind this sat the high priest, a
large gong at his right, and just
back Of him sat two other priests with
a pair of cymbals. The service con-
sisted Of prayers, repeated first by one
and then another, then all three in
unison, with occasional readings from
scrolls, all interspersed with strokes
on the gong and clangs of the GYM
balls. During the service the bereaved
husband passed to the front Of each
group Of friends, including our party,
knelt facing each group, and bowed
to the floor. This salutation was re-
turned by all in similar manner, as
an expression Of regret and sympathy.

waiting for buffalo to come out to feed
in a very quiet spot on the edge OF
the forest, came across some large
pig tracks and questioned my gun

never heard of forest hogs, and de-
clared them to be the tracks Of a
large wart-hog, saying that the soft

the size Of the tracks. After waiting
quietly for about half an hour we

forty yards away, and then saw a

buffalo, and then, from the shape, a

Department Has
Complaint From
British Minister
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, the British ambassador,
called the attention Of Acting Secre-
tary Lansing today to alleged viola
tions of neutrality in the Philippines,
where he said the British government
claimed various German ships had
been coaled at sea from Manila.
Inquiry was directed Immediately by
the state department to the authorities
at Manila.
According to advices to the embassy,
other neutral vessels than the Ameri-
can steamer Rio Pasig recently seized
as a prize by the British and carried
to Hong Kong, have been secretly
supplying German cruisers.
The amba ssador discussed with Mr..
Lansing the question of what restric
tions might be laid upon this prlc-
tice.
The state department recently took
the ground that merchant vessels even
under neutral flags could not legally
carry supplies from American Atlantic
ports to German cruisers off the co lst
and in West Indian waters, and the
ambassador asks that the same doc
trine shall be applied to the Philip
pines.
