NO WORD FROM ILOILO YET.

Otis Can He !)‘pfiided Upon.
Washington, Jan. 10. — Although
nothing of an alarming nature has been
received from Iloilo, there is no doubt
that members of the administration
view the situation as somewhat serious
md are anxiously awaiting further
news. No apprehension, however, is
felt as to the result of any collision
which might take place between United
States forces now on tbe island and the
natives, but the president is very anx
ious to avoid any encounter whatever.
He feels certain that if the natives
ran Ik? made to understand that this
government comes to them in a most
friendly and helpful spirit, there will
be no further trouble, and so he has
given instructions to (reneral Miller that
the utmost patience must be exercised
md every reasonable request granted in
order to avoid open rupture.
At the cabinet meeting today the sit-
nation in fhe Philippines was gone over
and some time was given to questions
of administration m Cuba.
FLANAGAN ESCAPES NOOSE.
His Caac Indi-ftuftidy Continued on tlir
Ground of InsMiilIjr.
Ati.anta, Jan. 9.—E. C. Flanagan,
'the double murderer, was arraigned at
Deeatur today. Judge Candler granted
a motion to indefinitely continue the

on tho lattier which resulted in her
death
Fiauagan was tried a few months

And there is neither glint cf shield

Nor dts s tho wind toss knightly plumes.
Nor silken tents unfold,
And yet in autumn it liernnies
The field of the cloth of gold.
For when the haze • f summer days
Has melted from the skies
And we, without reproof, may gaze
Up into heaven's eyes,
A host their plumes and banners shake
In Joust with breezes bold.
And goldenrod’* bright ehamplons make
The field of the cloth of gold.
The butterflies with blazoned wings
Are heralds for the fight.
And many a lovely lady llings
Her token to her knight.

Summer and autumn royally meet

CYCLONE NEAR SAVANNAH.
The Kvll Effect of Water Is Not a Mere
Superstition There.
Tho average Cuban is dreadfully
afraid of rainwater. lie believes that
drenching in a rainstorm, followed by
exposure to tho rays of the sun, pro
duces fever—not necessarily yellow fe
ver, but an attack something similar to
what is known as swamp fever in Mis
sissippi or chagres in tho isthmus cf
Panama.
Tho same belief prevails in Central
and South America, but in a greater
degree. Uu both coast lines of Xhcanmua
a light shower is tho signal for a gen
eral scampering indoors and a disin
clination to come out again until the
sky is perfectly clear. Up cn the high
plateau on which the city of Caracas in
Venezuela is situated and where there
should bo little or no fear of fever tho
natives are afraid to get even their
faces wet. At the first appearance of a
rainstorm tho cab drivers, of whom
there are more than 400, put up oilcloth
screens in front of them and direct the
course of the horses through a couple of
peepholes, avoiding even a slight splash
in the face.
All strangers from northern latitudes
visiting Caracas are advised that not
only is rain dangerous, but that it is
not safe to take a bath within ten
days after their arrival. Men accustom
ed to a daily plunge find this advice
difficult to follow, especially in such a
warm climate. Most of them disregard
it and find that it does them no harm,
and that it is a superstition based upon
the laziness that follows a residence in
an atmosphere so enervating that tho
dogs are too tired to get out of the way
of tho horse if tho horse wasn’t too
tired to step on them.
The Cuban fear of rain, however, is
based upon experience and is not a mere
superstition.—New York Press.
Wind HIoyva lit tin* Kate of About
Nlm-ly Mlh-s mu Hour.
Savannah, Jan. 9—A severe cyclone
passed over a section of Liberty county
some ^0 miles south of this city. The
wind was of tremendous force. During
la or k’0 minutes it attained to a velocity
of not less than To to 80 miles an hour.
At Johnston station, between here and
Waycross, it is estimated the wind blow
Jj miles ua hour for 10 miuntes.
In the village considerable damage
was done. The reouienco of Dr. Rogers
was unroofed and otherwise damaged,
the roof of a brick store was torn off,
und the top story was damaged. A drug
siore was practically demolished. Many
dwellings were injured by the .smash
ing of windows and tho collapse of
chimneys.
Dispensary L iw Proposed.
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 9.—State
Senator F. S. Moody of Tnskaloosa is
making a great effort to have the legis
lature pass a general dispensary bill,
and when the legislators get together
again he will present his bill. He is re
ceiving some encouragement from the
temperance people of Alabama. During
the recess of the logislature Senator
Moody has been making addresses on
the subject. This week he will ad
dress the people of Birmingham on thu
topic, and it is expected that a large au
dience will turn out for him.
Crushed Und* r u HIg Door.
Charlotte, N. 0., Jan. 9.—Harry
D. Watts, a prominent young society
man of this city, was found dead be
neath one of the huge doors of the Mer
chants’ and Farmers’ bonded ware
honse. His head was crashed and back
broken. The door was in place, but
was hung, and it is supposed that in
going home some time between 2 o’clock
and day he ran against the door, knock
ing it down and crushing himself to
death. He was the son of Captain Har
rison Watts.

Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 9. — John
Dreher, night fonndrymau at the Sloss

the falling in of the roof over the cast-

the roof gave way, and an angle bar
struck Dreher, pinning him down in a
lot of molten iron, a new run having
just been made. Before he could be
rescued ho was burned to death, parts
of hu body being roasted to a crisp.

A LUCtJLTAJS DINNER.
ONE FEAST THAT ASTOUNDED TWO
OF HIS FRIENDS.
Pompey mill Clecrn Tried to Cntch
the Fmnons Gcrmnml In n Trap,
hut the Itnntnn Spendthrift Fairly
Outwitted Them.
“Bright Fides of History” Is tbe title
of a Ferins of articles by E. H. House in
St. Nicholas. In a story form, introduc
ing modern boys and girls, the author
recounts some of tbe most amusing epi
sodes in history. Tbe following is one
of his stories:
“Lucnllus was very fond of fine din
ners—more so than was good for him in
bis later years. In early life he was one
of the greatest of Roman generals, and
at middle age ho bad kingdoms at his
feet. But, like many public men of tin t
period, he was pursued by envious ene
mies, and instead of making a stand
against them ho gave up all his glory
and devoted himself to idle luxury. Al
though bo was enormously rich, he
amazed his friends by the amount of '
money ho spent in feasting them. No j
matter at what hour a visitor called a
costly banquet was always ready to he |
«ervcd. People who were intimate with i
him often tried to catch him umirepar-
ed, but no one ever succeeded. The most
nrtf al trap of all was set by Pompey and
Cicero, but Lucnllus was too sharp even
for tlieso able men.’’
“Do you mean,’’ asked Harry, his
oyes round with astonishment, “do you
mean tbe great Pompey and Cicero we
hear so much about at school?”
“Tho very same. Those were the I
men. Did you think that Pompoy was
always fighting battles, and that Cicero
did nothing but speak pieces in the
senate? Oh, no. They used to vary
those occupations by strolling about the
forum on pleasant afternoons, and one
day they met Lucullus, strolling like
themselves, and laid a plan to take him
by surprise. They .said they had a par
ticular favor to ask. Ho promised to do
anything in his power, and then they
proposed to dine with him that vi ry
day, on condition that lie should make
no preparations and give no instruc
tions, but let them share tho ordinary
meal intended for himself.
“Lucullus had not expected this. :
Though he was extravagant enough, j
even when wholly alone, ho could not ,
bear to entertain guests without a good
deal of extra extravagance on their ac
count. ,So he tried to make au appoint
ment for the next day, but they would |
not listen to him. Then lie wanted to
call his servants, and they objected to
this also, suspecting that ho might con
trive to give same secret orders. They
insisted that be should not open bis lips
to any one besides themselves, hut just
ramble around until dinner time and
then take them directly to his dwelling.
Here ho mado a stand. He protested,
reasonably enough, that they demanded
too much. He had left home without
even saying that he should go back
there to dine. At least his friends must
allow him to announce that he would
return at tho customary hour Other
wise there might be no food at all.
‘■‘They saw no harm in this, and,
after consulting together, agreed that
he could send that one shoit message
and nothing more, but he must employ
a stranger to do tbe errand, and must
speak to him in their hearing, so that
they coaid guaid against any suspicions
words or private signals. Lucnllns pre
tended to be extremely troubled and d -
clarod that they deserved nothing fit to
eat. Nevertheless ho consented, and
calling a public messenger gave this di
rection, ‘Go to my house and tell the
steward to serve dinner in the Apollo
as usual.’ Pompey and Cicero were de
lighted. They kept close to their host
through the rest of tho day, feeling sure
that, though they would have au excel
lent meal, they had prevented him this
time from making one of the gorgeous
displays in which he reveled.
“When at last the three entered tho
dining room the sight of the table almost
took away their breath. It was decorat
ed with a magnificence they had not
dreamed of. But this was nothing to
what followed. Course after course of
tho rarest food was set before them,
with wines that were almost beyond
price, until at the end they calculated
that the cost of the repast could not
have been less than a sum equal to $10,-
000 in our money of today. “
“Why that is a small fortune to spend
for one dinner!” exclaimed Percy.
“You may say so, indeed. They were
quilorigbt in their reckoning. Lucullus
had outwitted them and carried his
point exactly as he wished.”
“How, uncle? Tell ns how!” the chil
dren cried.
“Think it out for yourselves, ” said
Uncle Claxton, but tbe only attempt at
a solution came from Dick, who after
pondering deeply caused an outburst cf
mirth by remarking that perhaps it was
Friday. Dick evidently imagined that
the explanation which had cleared up
thu mystery of his uncle’s dinner might
he good enough for anything in ancient
Rome.
“No, no, Dicky,” said Uncle Claxton,
“that's not the secret. You must re
member the message which Lucullus
sent to bis steward—that ho would ‘dine
in the Apo!!o.* He had several dining
bulls, named after various Roman gods,
and all differently arranged for different
kinds of feasts. Ha had only to mention
which of these he would occupy to let
bis servants know what preparations
were necessary and precisely how much
money should bo spent. It was the rule
that a dinner or sapper in the Apollo
should cost a sum equal to about $10.-
000 of our American money, and it was
at this rate that Pompey and Cicero
were entertained. They did not learn
till long after how’ Lucullus had man
aged the affair.”
At Sea on Mnakat.
A funny eceno occurred many years
ago in congress. A present of Arabian
horses, a sword, etc., arrived from tho
imam of Maskat for President Adams.
A western member with some beat
moved that the gift should be seut
back, with a letter from congress, in
forming the ruler of Maskat that the
president of tho United States was no
king, but tho servant of tho people, and
was not permitted to give or receive
presents.
Another member rose. “Such a let
ter, Mr. Speaker,” bo said, “can easily
be written. But whero is it to bo seut?
Whore is Maskat?”
Thero was no response. Apparently
not a member cf the house was prepared
to answer, nor could Maskat then bo
found in any atlas published in this
country. It was found at last on a Ger
man map. A civil answer was returned,
and tho geographers made haste to in
sert Maskat in the next edition of their
maps.—Exchange.
