who sailed from Liverpool September
14 on the steamship Scotsman, bound
for Montreal, which was wrecked on
the shores of the Straits of Belle Isle at
2:30 o ’clock the morning of the 21st.
It was not only a tale of shipwreck
that they had to tell, but oue of death,
of suffering and pillage, for fifteen, at
least, of the Scotsman’s passengers
perished, ull suffered cruelty from eold
and privation and almost the worst
horror of all, the men who were sup­
posed to succor and assist those com­
mitted to their care in the hour oi
need, turned on the helpless passengers
and with loaded guns and revolvers
compelled them to part with the few
valuables they had saved.
Captain
Skrimshire and his officers were excep­
tions. For the honor of the British
merchant marine, the crime may not
be ascribed to the men engaged in it,
but to a gang of wharf rats and hang­
ers-on, picked up on the docks at Liver-
ptx>l to replace the usual crew of the
Scotsman, which joined the seamen’s
strike on the other side.
The list of those who perished is as
follows: First-class passengers— Miss
Street, Montreal; Mrs. Childs, wife of
the stage manager of the ‘ 'Sign of the
Cross’ company; Mrs. Robertson and
infant; Mrs. Scott; Mrs. Robinson,
wife of the manager of the Sunlight
Soap Company, of Toronto; Mrs. Rob­
inson; Mrs. Dickinson, w ife of u former
editor of the Toronto Globe. Second-
class passengers— Mrs. M. M. Scott,
Mrs. Watson, Mrs. Talbot, Mrs. Tut-
hill, Mrs. Skelton Mrs. Eliza Watkins,
Miss B. Weavers.
It w ill be noticed that all who per­
ished were women. This is accounted
for by the fact that they were occu­

steamer after she struck and which wae

The enemy tied nortwurd and when
the Americans entered the town they
found it practically deserted.
The attacking party moved on Porac
in two columns. The Niuth infantry
with two guns from Santa Rita was
commanded by General Wheeler, and
the Thirty-sixth infantry under Colonel
Bell, with one gun. accompanied Gen­
eral MacArthur from San Antonio.
Both columns struck the town at i)
o ’clock and opened a brisk fire, which
was replied to by the enemy for half
an hour. Then the insurgents Hed, and
the Americans marched over their
trenches and took j-issession of the
place.
Just before the fight Smith’s com­
mand at Angeles made a demonstration
by firing artillery up the railroad track.
Liscum reported oue casualty, and Bell
reported four men of his regiment
wounded. The artillery did not loso a
man, killed or injured.
Today’s movement was a strategical
success, and resulted in tho possession
of Porac, and the clearing of several
miles of country thereabout.
The two columns, oue from Santa
Rita and the other from San Antonio,
united before Porac, according to the
programme, one stretching around the
place for some miles. The insurgents
are estimated to have numbered 600

New York, Oct. 2.— The naval pa­
rade, from the standpoint of the war­
ships, was an immense murine picture,
a water pageant with so little of inci­
dent, copamred with its great size,
that it apiM'ulcd to the eye as a paint­
ing rather than a drama. The vast
gathering of water craft maintained an
average speed of eight knots, but so
magnificent wus its area that the im­
pression was oue of exeeingly slow and
stately movement. The picture was
continually changing, but it melted
slowly in such measured rythm from
form to form that the sense of motion
was largely lost. It started under a
brilliant sky, pussed at the mouth of
the Hudson through the threat of an
ugly storm, and emerged through a
rainbow arch that stretched from shore
to shore into a clear and brilliant
sunset off the Grant tomb.
The night had been a busy one in the
fleet of wurshijiH off Tompkinsvlle.
Tlie lust details of the day’s ceremony
were hardly settled before the day
itself broke on a scene of greater activ­
ity than the classio anchorage had
ever witnessed before.
The great vessels of the white squad­
ron swung at their anchorage as for
the past two days, bnt the crowd of
neighboring craft lmd been swelled jxisj
counting. As far as conld be seen the
water was a mass of moving steamers.
The evolution began at 1 o ’clock,
and in 15 minutes the fighting line
was straightened out up the harbor.
Admiral Dewey was going to his own
place at the head of a squadron that
would have won, at need, three battles
of Manila bay without stopping for
breakfast.
The head of the column was a broad
arrow. Six torpedo boats spread out
at the bar, three on a side, from the
Olympia’s quarter. Outside of them
a flying wedge of police patrol tsiats
formed a great V, whose apex was the
Olympia.
Flanking them, ahead and astern,
were the harbor fire bouts, spouting
great columns of water that turned
threateningly toward the excursion
boats on either side when they at­
tempted to crowd the line of march.
But the pageant back of this power­
ful vanguard wus not liiifited to a
single or sextuple line of ships. It
wus a sinuous marine monster half a
mile wide, whose vertebrae were the
ships of the white squadron, und whose
ribs were rows upon rows of every sort
of floating thing that had ever run by
steam in New York harbor.
From the time the British yacht
Erin started she certainly was the
chief attraction along the river front,
after the Olympia had gono by, and
Sir Thomas Lipton was accorded an
ovation all along the line. To those
on Ijoard the Erin, decked out as she
was with flags of all nations, it looked
as if the American jieople were greutly
pleased with Sir Thomas, and were
delighted at an opisirtuuity to give
him a hearty welcome.
They ran
alongside in tugs, barges, launches and
big excursion steamers, and shouted
all sorts of complimentary things to
him, while the tall yachstman on the
upper brigdo of the Erin wore a smile,
and not infrequently called back hi*
thanks for the kind wishes.

Washington, Sept. 80.— The British
commissioner to Samoa, Mr. Eliot, hai
received from Apia a full report on the
claims made by the British subject!
for damage resulting from the bom­
bardment and the native uprising.
The claims aggregate something ovei
$37,000. Of this amount about $30,-
000 grows out of the depredations of
the Mataafa rebels in January and
March lust, while some $5,000 is for
losses resulting from the bombardment
of the British-Ameriesn naval forces
and the succeeding iqierations on land.
The original amount of the claims was

the Brills! commissioner as they were
first subjecten to a rigid scrutiny by a
British official at Apia. Mr. Eliot
called at the White House today and

course of which Mr. McKinley ex­
pressed his satisfaction with the work
of the Samoan commission.

Man and F ig.
An interesting fight between a man
and a pig entranced a crowd of Norris-
town people the otiier morning on tiie
main street. The roan, a young farm­
er, was driving a big, uncovered wagon.
He sat on Dome hoards that wero
snatched from tiie wagon'« t-vo «idea,
and mnler the hoards was the hog,
which his weight held down. Hadden-
lv, in front of tho Montgomery house,
the man flew high in the air, the
hoards clattered down on tup of him,
and tiie porkor began to climb out of
the wagon. “ You’ ll buuk me, will
yon?” said tiie man, getting up, ami he
grabbed the animal by the tnrout and
begun to pinoli it in tho nose. The
pig, erect and shieking like mad.
struck ut him with its forepuws and
tried to trip hint with its hind ones.
The intelligent horses stopped so us to
let the ciowd view the fight in comfoit.
The man and the hog (ought all over
the wagon until they belli panted for
breath. The animal's nose was bleed­
ing, anil tiie man’s clothes and skin
wero turn here and there. The duelists
were revolving in a tight embrace in
the middle of the wagon, like a couple
waltzing, when a spectator reached up
and knocked tbe iiog down with a club.
Then tiie lioards were arranged again
nud tiie man drove off.— Philadelphia

THIRD TRIAL FAILED
Aguinaldo’s Attempt In the

HIS “ REPUBLIC" UNRECOGNIZED

Manila, Oct-. 8.— Aguinaldo’ * third
attempt to shift his difficulties into
the field of diplomacy is a repetition of
tho other two, with an impossible en­
deavor to obtain some sort of recogni­
tion of his so-called government.
Tho Filipino envoys had an honr’ a
conference with General Otis this
morning. They brought from Agui­
naldo a message that ho desire! peace
and wished to send a civilian govern­
mental commission to discuss tho ques­
tion. General Otis replied that it was
impossible for him to recognize Agni-
uuldo’s government in that way. They
presented a letter from Aguinaldo as
“ president of the republic, ” which was
largely a repetition of his recent ap­
peals for recognition. General Otia
informed them that, while ho was w ill­
ing to com.iqKiud with Aguinaldo as
general of tho insurgent forces, he must
positively decline to recognize him as
president of tho civil government.
Another conference w ill be held to­
morrow.
The Filipinos w ill remain two or
three days. Their movements ure un­
restricted, but they are under tho con­
stant chuperouage of Captain Johnson,
of the Sixteenth infantry. Today they
visited the hospitals and distributed
money among the wounded Filipinos,
after which they made calls and re­
ceived visitors at their hotel. Natives
in their Sunday clothing thronged tho
plaza in front of the hotel all day,
stretching their necks towards the win­
dows for a glimpse of the showy uni­
forms of tiie enovys. The assemblage
finally increased to 1,000 iieople.
When the envoys emerged for an after­
noon drive, the natives removed their
hats deferentially and a crowd in ve­
hicles and on foot followed the carriage
through the streets.
"W e desired peace, bnt peace with
Independence and honor,” said General
Aliejandrino balay, while conversing
with a press representative. He im­
presses one as dignified and dispassion­
ate anil a keen man of the wolrd. He
was educated in Kuorpe, and designed
the remarkable entrenchments from
Manila to Tarlac. While reticent con­
cerning his mission, his conversation
throws an interesting light on the F ili­
pino view of tho American attitude.
“ How long can the Filipino army
withstand 60,000 troopB?” asked the
press representative.
"Fighting in our way, we can main­
tain a state of war and the necessity
of a large army of occupation indefi­
nitely. Yon Americans are holding a
few miles around Manila, a narrow
line of railroad to Angeles and a circle
around Han Fernando. But yon are
ignorant of the resources of Luzon.
We hold the rich, immense productive
northern country from which to draw.
Our |ieoplo contribute the money and
food for oar army, and this is done at a
minimum cost
" I t is an interesting question what
the cost to the American people is of
maintaining troops in the I’hilippiues.
A Filipino exists with a handful of rice
and a pair of linen trousers. We do
not have to pay onr soldiers. Even
with our present supply of arms and
ammunition, we conld keep your army
occupied for years.
“ W ith an expense that grows daily,
how long w ill yonr people stand it!
The Filipino people do not wish to con­
tinue the fighting. W e have no army
contractors. We have no business men
making profit* from the maintenance
of our anpy. There is nothing iu it
for ns, nor are onr salaries large enongh
to keep ns fighting for money and posi­
tion.”

New York, Oct. 8.— The land parade
today capped the climax. The city,
state and nation united in a vast dem­
onstration worthy of the hero of Manila.
The earth trembled beneath the tread
of 50,000 men, and the air was torn
with the shouts of millions. The na­
val parade of yesterday was magnifi­
cent and superb, but the wonder of
modern times was the gTeat land pa­
rade. Thousands of pioud men of our
land and sea forces, the militia of 16
ftates and the veterans of the civil nnd
Spanish-American war* swelled the
procession and gave It the dignity in
size that it boasted in sentiment

seat of tiie carriage was banked with

the line of march, seemed fairly to lift
the sky. Everybody cheered and nearly
everybody jumped up and down la
frantic enthusiasm.
