are (iiiadelupe, Mundatogana, Pienda

due to eating the flesh of animals
which have died from disease. What
ever the cause, there is little doubt
that a species of plague exists, which
in most cases proves fatal. It is said
'list the disease carries off its victims
within DH hours from Its attack, aud in

the camp. From three bodies the Acs
had been carved and eaten. The chit
said that 80 or 90 had been killed and
five persons eaten by his people.
Mr. BboppOld saw 81 right hands ent
off and frying over a slow tire in order
to be afterward taken back to the state
officers. Sixty women prisoners were
confined in a pen, And 16 hud already
been sent away prisoners. It is said
the raid was ordered because the people
could not pay thu exorbitant tribute
demanded by the state. The mission
aries say that they reported the matter
to the proper officials, and demanded
tho withdrawal of the troops, aud that
the chief instituted a counter prosecu
tion on account of trie charges made.
The missionaries further say the Zuppo
Zaps are a tribe kept by the state for
its protection. They are sent out to
collect rubber, Ivory, slaves and goats
as tribute from the people, and can
then plunder, barn and kill for their
own amusement and gain. The mis
sionaries nay they are collecting evl
lence about the massacre, aud will
send it to Homa and to Europe. Mr.
Vass says:
"The whole country b pillaged and
not a village left standing. The people
are in the bush. Tonight in a radius
of about 75 miles there are possibly
CO, 000 people sleeping in the bush, un
sheltered and weary, in the midst of
a rainy season. The state is A terror
to every one."

another Island in the Flast. The news
of the seizure was contained iu the fol

The island lies at the southwestern
angle of the boundary line of the quad
rangle enclosing the Philippine group.
It is probably i ut-ide of the line, and
lies very near the coast of Borneo, com
manding the principal chunuel, but is
not one of the islands of the Philip
pines. The sultan of Jolo, whose
group is close to this island, is believed
to claim jurisdiction over it, and as his
authority is recognized by the native
tribes on the north coast of Hurneo and
vicinity, it is believed his claim is
well founded. It was probably at his
