steamer Saturnus, us follows:
' The Saturn us nailed from Manila
the morning of .July .'JO for San Fer
nando la Union, on the north Bide of
thetlnlf of Lingayan, Cavayan, (lur
rimao and Apirri, all of which are
northern ports. It is supposed the
vessel arrived olT San Fernando on

"Vhoii discovered by tho gunboat
I'ampanga it was lying with its nose
buried in tho sand of the shore, i-outh
of the city of San Fernando. Both
anchors wore out and smoke, which
hovered closelyovert.no vessel. showed
it to bo on (ire. Small boats with
native crews could be 6eon carrying
the cargo of the burning vet-sol
ashore.
" 'The I'ampanga sent a boat out to
investigate, but upon its approach the
natives immediately retired and
opened lire upon the boat's crow from
concealed trenches with Mausers and
a battery.
" 'Tho oHicers on tho I'ampanga or
dered tho firo from tho rebols to bo re
turned and undor covor of the guns of
tho war ship the boat reached the
Saturnus. A brief inspection of the
vessel showed every indication that it
had been looted by tho rebels.
"'The boat's crow attempted to
raiso the anchors, but failing in this
the- cut the anchor chains and at
tached a hawser from tho I'ampanga
to the propeller of the Saturnus. An
unsuccessful attempt was made to pull
it out of the mud and sand. The Pam
panga then abandoned the wrecked
Saturnus and sigualed the Concord
and reported to it commander. The
I'ampanga thereupon was ordered to
Manila to report the affair while the
Concord remained to attend to the
rebels and wreck.
" 'The Saturnus was commanded by
Captain Antonio Aralucea and had
two cWcers, three engineers and a
crew of thirty-six natives It is sup
posed that all were taken prisoners by
the rebels.
" 'The cargo of the vessel consisted
of 520 cases of petroleum of ten gallons

barrels of wine, oighty sacks of rice,
ten cases of linen cloth, seven cases of
money, containing 84n,0(K) in cash, and
1,945 packages and bales of various
kinds. In addition to the cargo, the
vessel c irried twenty-six passengers
and two children, all of whom were
Filipinos or Chinos. There ia ab
solutely no truth in the rumor of the
assassination or mur ier of the crew of
the vessel.' "
A subsequent report received here
states that the crew and passengers of
theStturi.us were all safe and unin
jured it Tarlae. the Filipino capital.
It was c. peeled that tho crew and pas
sengers would arrive in Manila as
so.n as it was said they were free to
go where thev pleased unmolested.
The Saturnus was fully insured
against loss, including the risk of war.

St. Louis, Sept. 13. A mass meet
ing of retail butchers of St. Louis baa
been called tonight by the Retail
Butchers' Co-operative association to
organize a systematic light on the beef
trust. President Bonnoy said today:
"We have worked quietly and are
no prepared to begin active opera
tions against the trust. We have
three propositions to consider, two
from anti-trust packing companies
affd another from a Texas cattle
grower. These propositions are to
sell the beef direct to the association
and at rates averaging 25 per cent be
low the trust figures, in consideration
of the known quantity that will be re
quired to supply the demand of the
association. Our ultimate object is to
build an abattoir of our own. That
will be done in time, but we cannot de
termine how soon it will be."

C. C. Bonnette, an aeronaut, had a
narrow escape from death in N?w York
the other afternoon while makicg a
balloon ascersion in Ridgewood Park,
on the outskirts of Williamsburg, in
the presence of nearly 20,000 persons.
It was the first day's celebration of the

engaged to make a balloon ascent-ion.
and whIJe in midair give a trapeze
performance and then descend in a
parachute. While the men were filling
the balloon with gas they failed to
notice a slight leak near the top.
When everything was ready, Bonnette
took his seat on the trapeze and the
balloon slowly moved upward. When
be reached a height of about 100 feet
it was noticed by the crowd that in
stead of giving a trapeze performance
he was holding tightly to the ropes.
Finally th. balloon began coming
down slowly. Bonnettewas struggling
to free the parachute, but the ropes re
fused to work. He cut the ropes while
the balloon was floating about one
quarter of a mile outside of the park,
and, holding the parachute, let him
self drop. Bonnette was then about Cj
feet in the air. He landed in a tree,
and this saved his life. A moment
later the balloon came down with a
crash within a few yards from where
the aeronaut had landed. Bonnette
was taken from the tree and found to
have received only a few bruises.

Ivime. Dreyfus fears that her hus
band's health may soon break down
completely. Dreyfus nerved himself
up during the Kenncs trial, but the
reaction is such that tho physicians
consider his case hopeless and say that
anj' day a fatal collapse may ensue.
Meanwhile the intervention of Pres
ident Loubet, by according Dreyfus a
full pardon, ia regarded by those near
est tho president as almost certain,
and this woula be followed by execut
ing the policy of the sponge and wip
ing out all old scores and reducing tho
pending trials, which originated in
the Dreyfus affair, to mere empty for
malities, releasing Deroulede and his
royalist companions and liquidating
the whole situation by a general am

Don't Sleep Facing- the Light.
It Is very Important that the eyes
snould really rest during the hours or
sleep, and this they cannot do if they 7VT"v
are not properly shaded. If possible, ! i. O T'T1
the bed should be placed where the
light from the window does not fall on
the face of the sleeper, but in a small
room It is Inconvenient sometimes to
arrange this, and therefore the window
should be provided with a dark green
blind or covered with curtains. If you
are inclined to think that as long a3
the eyes are closed they are sufficient
ly shaded you can easily test the mat
ter. Shut your eyes while facing the
light and then shade them with your
hand. The relief of the interposed
shade you will find to be almost a3
great to the shut eyes as it is when
they are open, for the eyelids only les
sen the strain on the eyes and do not
remove It.

Tobacco Is Sensitive.
Tobacco is the most sensitive thing
In the world. You can spoil the best
cigar, pipe or cigarette that ever was
made by lighting it over a smoky lamp
or gas Jet. The finest tobacco that
ever grew doesu't taste good after you
have been eatins onions. Again, you
should rinse your mouth out after a
cigar, pipe or cigarette before lighting
another. If you do you will find that
every smoke has the soft fragrance of
the early morning cigarette, instead
of the hot staleness of the last pipe.
Does More Harm Than Good.
LONDON', Sept. 13 While the
papers are full of letters from indi
viduals and several firms announcing
their withdrawal from the Paris expo
sition and urging the government to
do likewise, there is no intention on
the part of the British government to
take such steps. It is unlikely, how
ever, that the present agitation will
result in any general withdrawal of
British exhibits.
Max O'Rell (Paul Blouet) has writ
ten a letter to the Uaily Chronicle
saying that a public expression of
sympathy will go against Dreyfus,
adding: "For God's sake use your in
fluence to stop it. But for the univer
6al sympathy shown for Dreyfus,whom
I, personally, believe to be innoceut,
in England and Germany, he would
have been acquitted. It is a terrible
thing to say, but I say it and am not
afraid of contradiction."
The Evening News is urging the
formation of a British Lesion of
Honor consisting of persons and firms
who will have nothing to do with the
Paris exposition, acd publishes a list
of over forty firms and others, headed
by Sir William Blake Richmond, K.
A., who will not exhibit.
