Natives Elected Midcl President of the
Insular Government and Through
the Diplomacy of Commander Very,
of tue Gunboat Castine, the Sur

Was Brought About.
Maxima, Dec. 1.-8:30 a. m. The
eteanier Salvador, from Zamboanga, 1b
lnd' of Mindanao, which has arrived
here, btincs details of the occupation of
the town by Commander Very, of the
United States gunboat Castino.
Lh revolutionists in Mindanao were
led by Alvarez and Culixto, who lett
Lurun some time aco and for the last
ecven months iiad been Btirriniz up the
people, winning a considerable following.
The commercial depression and the luck
of food resulting from tiie Island's
blockade eot the people against the rev
olutiouistB and culminated in the
aeaaesination on November 15 of Culixto,
a firebrand and the real leader of the
revolution, by Midel, mayor of the town
of Tetwan.
Aluiei, under a pretext, secured
C-lixto'a presence in Tetuan nod where
the mayor's guards were stationed. The
latter fired a volley, killing Calixto in
stantly. Midel at once repaired to the
Castine and arranged with Commander
Very for the occupation of Zamboanga.
Commander Very ueked that Datto
Mandi, with 500 of his followers,
Htationed on a neighboring island, come
to Zamboanga.
The following morning Midel raised
the American flat; over Zamboanga, the
insurgents offering no resistance and
evacuating the town. The Castine was
ealuted with twenty-one guns, and Com
mander Very landed 100 bluejackets and
took possession of the town and fortifica
tions. Datto Mandi's men arrived in
the afternoon. They were armed with
wooden ehiuldB and swords, and were
used on picket duty.
Commander Very dispatched the gun
boat Manila on November 15 to Jolo to
onvey troops to reinforce him. A com
Bled Quarts at a Time
"1 am aknif e maker and'worked for a number of years in the New York Knife
Co.s factory at Walden, N. V. First thing I knew I commenced to bleed from
the month. Sometimes as much as a quart of blood would come up from my
tangs at a time. Every time I coughed the blood spurted out. It was in the

people told mo I had better
make my peace with the Lord
and prepare to die, for I would
not live till spring. My homo
doctor couldn't do me any good,
but advised mo to get to New
Yoik City for examination.
They finally look niu to a med
ical college, and a whole lot of
physicians made what they
called a diagnosis. There were
several students looking on.
One professor had a little ivory
hammer, and with this ho
pounded my chest and held his
ear close to listen. After a
while tho professor looked at
me solemnly and declared:
One of your lungs is about
gone and the other is affected.

lowed them shortly. Mandi'a followers
then returned home and Alvarez sought
to arrange for a surrender of the arms
ami artillery pieces.
On the afternoon of November 20.
Midel called a meeting of the local chiefs,
who formally deposed Alvarez as leader
of the revolutionists in the island and
elected Midel president of the new insu
lar government established under Ameri

formally requested Commander Very to
giant exemption from taxes until there

previously done, which requests, pending
the arrival of Brigadier-General Bates,

Hobart's Will Probated.
Patehson, N. J., Dec. 1. The will of
the late Vice-President Hobart was filed
for probate today. The value of the es
tate is not given, but it is understood to
be $2,500,000. Of the estate the widow
receives $1,000,000 and half of the. re
mainder. After a number of bequests
are paid, the son, Garret Hobart, jr.,

his majority.
It will not be a surprise to any who
are at all familiar with the good qualities
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, to
know that people everywhere take
pleasure in relating their experience in
the use of that splendid medicine and
in telling of the benefit they have re
ceived from it, of bad colds it has cured,
of threatened attacks of pneumonia it
has averted and of the children it has
saved from attacks of croup nnd whoop
ing cough. It is a grand, good medicine.

ROBERTS CASE
IS HOPELESS
A Canvass of the
Only Two i
House Pronounced
n His Favor.
New Yokk, Dec. 1. A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Brigham
H. Roberts, the member-elect from
Utah, will meet with a stalwart opposi
tion when he appears to claim his seat
in the house of representatives next
Monday. A careful poll made by the
Herald shows this conclusively.
To obtain as far as possible the sense
of the members of the house of repre
sentatives, the Herald has caused to be
made a careful canvass of the house.
Each member who could be reached was
asked how he would vote on the question
of permitting Brigham H. RobertB io
take and retain his seat, assuming that
the charge of polygamy shall be proyed
true.
Responses have been received from
more than two-thirds of the entire mem
bership of the house. Of this number
only two one from Michigan and one
from Georgia declare themselves in
favor of admitting Mr. Roberts regard
less of the charge brought against him.
The Herald's canv.tss shows an over
whelming sentiment in favor of unseat
ing the member-elect from Utah.
Used By British Soldier In Africa.
Capt. C. G. Dennison is well known
all over Africa as commander of the
forces that captured the famous rebel
Galishe. Under date of Nov. 4, 1897,
from Vryburg, Bechuanaland, he writes:
"Before starting on the last campaign 1
bought a quantity of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
which I used myself when troubled with
bowel complaint, and had given to my
men, anu in every case it proved most
beneficial." For sale by Blakeley &

MADE HEIR TO A THRONE.
Son of Queen Victoria' Fourth Son
Is In Line, Through Sev
eral Henouncemcnts.
Queen Victoria's sons hove inherited
from their father, the prince consort, a
petty principality nnd throne in Ger
mnny. This is Snxe-Coburg nnd (iothn,
n duchy with a territory of about 750
square miles three-fourths of the area
of Rhode Island and a population ex
ceeding 200,000. It is not a stronghold
of power and influence, but a good deal
of money goes with it, and makes it
worth while to keep it in the family.
The prince of Wales renounced his
rights to the duchy becnuse he was heir
to the English throne. The duke of
Edinburgh accepted the inheritance,
but lie has no son to succeed him. The
duke of Connaught was the next in
line, but ho and his son have renounced
their rights. The heir to the throne is
the son of the lute duke of Albany, thro
queen's fourth son.
He is a schoolboy, in his fifteenth
year, nnd has no prospects in Englnnd.
He will now go to Germany to finish his
education, and will cease to be an Eng'
lish prince. He will owe nVcgianec to
the German emperor, and w.l probably
cerve his time in the arm v.
The lr.3;oritance has hAn arranged
by Queen Victoria, whose will is law
in the English roynl family, bhe has
provided for one of her favorite grand
sons a snuc- and comfortable little
throne on the continent, where he will
have little to do, and where his income
will be large. Youth's Companion.
HAYTIEN CONSERVATISM.
Discard Innovntlons and Stick to the
Old LahorlouM Method of
DulllK Things.
The Hnytien is a wonderful example
of conservatism. What was, must be
right. A few years ago the town of
Port de Paix, owing to an unexpected
progressive spirit on the part of the
government, constructed some fine wa
terworks. The town was well piped,
with hydrants at short distances on ul
the streets. Decorative fountains were
placed in the squares, drinking places
for man and beast every wheie. The na
lives, ns usual, took not the s!ightc3i
interest in this important and r.eces
sary undertaking. At last, when com
pleted, in accordance with the custom
of the country, the water system was
opened with a series of fetes. The
whole section of the country hud a hila
rious holiday balls, processions, cc.'h
lights, etc. When these were nil over,
says Harper's Magazine, the i.aiive.
came to the conclusion that the water
works must have been built to five an
excuse for them, and the watei works
were no longer of any service, so' they
promptly smashed the whole system
upand returned to carting the city's wa
ter from the distant river by c:: teams.
Now they tie their animals to the hy
drants, fall over the fragments of the
pipes scattered round the streets, and
are happy.
SMART WOODPECKERS.
They Drop Ilad-Smelllnir UurricH Into
Hollow Tri'cs to Drive
Grubs Oat.
Prof. Eastman .7. Clarke, with a party
of students irom Connecticut, has just
returned from a lc::g trip arter natural
history hpei-imenn in the Maine woods.
Some wivks ago, while c:i the head
waters of the Alh,:uh, he s:,ys hi found
a family of downy wccdpcekcrs which
seemed to be endowed with ir.ore intcl-.
ligence than falls to the lot of the av
erage bird. YVocdpeektrs feed upen
worms that burrow into trees. As an
active borer makes a gallery three or
four feet long in a single t eason, the
woodpecker is often obliged to make
many punctures in order to yet at his
prey. '1 he family of birds which came
under Prof. Clarke's eye hns adopted a
labor-saving device which has proved of
great service. Tho rankest plant that
grows in the Maine woods is tho India
poke, the berries of which are charged
with nn alkaline juice that is very cf
fensive to all animal life. According to
Prof. Clarke, the Allngnsh woodpeckers,
having opened up a gallery made by a
borer, drop pokeberrles in the orifice.
The berries give out such an odor that
the grubs nre forced to come outside
for fresh air, and the woodpecker does
the rest.
Tlit Wnliiut Crow,
The English walnut is said to be the
most profitable of all nut-bearing trees.
When in full bearing they will yield
about 300 pounds of nuts to the tree.
The nut sells on nil average at about
eight cents per pound. If only 27 trees
nre planted on nn ucre the income would
be about $075. Cincinnati Enquirer. .
