Manila, Oct 7. The archbishop of
Manila notified General Otis that a
pot waa on foot to burn the residence
of the governor-general and the arch'
bishop, together with several govern
ment buildings and banks, but the plot
failed to materialize, possibly becauie
of display of force.
The first reports regarding the affair
at Paranaque last night appear to havj
been much exaggerated. The facts ar-j
that a Small band of insurgents, follow
lug the bay road, poured a volley int.:
the village, and later another into Lo
Pinos, with the result that two o.
three house were burned. The crack'
ling of the bamboo caused it to be ra

brought to Manila today by a Domin
lean friar from the north, has issued or

ductive as possible by using his men in
alternate shifts on the farms or under

tho multitude which went over to
watch the contestants for the yachting
championship of the world returned
disappointed and not a little disgusted.
The question of supremacy of the two
great yachts is still as much an open
question as before they first met, as the
contest today was in some respects
more of a fluke than that of Tuesday.
It was a drifting match almost from
start to finish. The yachts crossed the
line with a breeze of five knots, and
the wind never blew more than six
knot, most of the time less than three,
and part of the time not a breath of air
was stirring. After sailing four hours

are condemned to suffer the extreme
penalty of the law, which is death.
Only one of the prominent leaders was

tiary. No public accusation was made
in these cases nor is any reason offered
for the arrest. The sensation is all
the greater because there have been no
indications of an uprising against Pre!
dent Zelaya since last February.
Such lawless acts as the government
U committing in this regard, acts
usually at the expense of members of
the party not in power, tend to check
the reviving activity and again to im
pair credit. Except for such arrests.

show of the business to which it is en
titled by it location seems to have per
meated the San Francisco authorities,
and even General Shatter has now re
commended that the Thirty-ninth sail
from Porltand, and so strongly that it
is believed he will include the Forty
fifth as well. -

What can you expect in a contest be'
tween an elephant and an ant? One
thing will result from it America
will aocept no more arbitrations with
Europe. Yon will see America laid
down a fresh international code, which
she will apply to the Old World whether
the latter like it or not. The South
American state, including Brazil,
will rally around the United States for
the purpose of effecting an economic
union. We shall try to establish
monetary union on the basis of the gold
standard. These projects need not im
ply a hostile attitude toward Europe,

Europe stands in much greater need ol
us than we of her."

every department of the government
today is as busy as though actual hos
tilities hod begun. The electric flash
that announced the mobilization of the
army reserves and the summoning of
parliament, set every wheel of the gov
ernmeut machinery in motion. An
hour after the Gazette appeared, exe
cutive orders were being dispatched

identical with the proclamation pre
pared for uae had the Fashoda incident
required such a step.

Southampton, Oot. 9. Sir St. John
Christopher Willouhhy, who accompan
ied Dr. Jameson into the Transvaal in
1896, and who, for participating in the
raid, was sentenced to 10 months' im;
prisonment, but was subsequently re
leased, was a passenger by the steamer
Mexican, which sailed for the Cape on
Saturday.- Mr. Weasels, member of
the Cape assembly for Vryburgh, was
also a passenger by the Mexican. In
the course of an interview, Mr. Weasels
declared that he saw no way to avert
war between Great Britain and the
Transvaal, and, if not long, it wonld be
terribly severe. He , believed it wonld
be impossible to restrain the younger
Dutch residents of Cape Colony, with
whom blood would prove thicker than
water. The Boers, . said Mr. Wessels,
were hemmed in, and would fight des
perately, and trouble might be ex
pected with the natives.
TRIED SELF-DESTRUCTION.
Tho Barbaric Act of a PolUh Woman
at Bucoda.
Seattle, Oct. 9. A special from Bu
coda says; A most deliberate and bar
baric attempt at sucide occurred at this
place yesterday. Mrs. Leo Prabnski, a
Polish woman, became angered at
some little ' domestic occurrence and
determined to do away with her life.
She prooured an ordinary hatpin six
inches long and drove the pin into her
stomach through the navel. Pressing
hard against the pin, she drove it until
it could go no farther, as it had lodged
in the spine. Then, with the intention
of forcing the pin out at the back, she
procured a rusty darning needle and
drove this into what she thought waa
the hole made by the hat pin. Not
until 12 o'clock last night did she tell
any one what she had done.
Today Mrs. Prabuuki repented of her
act, and accompanied the Bucoda phy
sician to this oity, where Dr. Redpath
removed the pin and needle. Dr. Red-
path think she will live. She is 48
years old and ha 19 children, five of
whom are living.

CANNIBALISM IN SOUTH SEAS
Native! of tho New Hebrides Boasts
Hawaiian. -
Vancouver, B. C, Oct. 9. A re
markable story of cannibalism waa
brought to Sydney,' Australia, a few
day before the sailing of the steamer
Aorangi to thia port, by the French
steamer Jeanette. The victim of the
display of savagery waa a native of
Hawaii, named Amaru, who acted a
orderly to the immigration department
at Noumea, in the New Hebrides.
About six months ago Amaru mar
ried a native woman of Aoba, in the
New Hebrides group, and . on passing
that island on the second day of the
voyage of the Jeanette to one of the
outlying island, he decided to visit his
wife' tribe. Accordingly: the couple
were put off in a amall boat, and it was
only a few week ago that the steamer
made a second cill and learned their
fate. By mistake they had landed on
an unfriendly shore and were taken
prisoners.
The man waa tied to a stake and hi
torture begun. This consisted first in
allowing vicious jungle snakes from
which the poison fang had been re'
moved to attack the ' man's legs.
Then a fire waa made at his feet and
hi legs were horribly burned, though
the injury waa superficial so that the
victim would not die under the treat
ment. Then he was made the target
for the spears of the tribesmen, who
finally killed him. He was torn to
pieces and placed over a fire with two
weep. In fact, according to the story
he was eaten with the sheep.
In the meantime Amaru' wife had
been provided with another husband
The matter was reported to a British
man-of-war, bnt it is thought no action
