Thousands of them in the Philippines are engaged as peddlers and a large number are merchants. Some of the official reports, including those of Admiral Dewey, have paid high tribute to the work per- } formed by the Chinese. | val Constructor Hobsdn has re- ported recently on the value of Chinese labor in the reconstruction of the | sunken Spanish warships. While Chi- | nese labor is highly thought of by the Americans, the English and Germansin the Philippines the qualities which have | won for it good opinions from these sources have provoked the enmity of the native Filipinos. Being shiftless | and unreliable the Filipinos have found | themselves supplanted to a large extent in the insular industries. On the other hand, Mr. Willlams, for- mer Consul at Manila, who still remains there in a confidential capacity, has written to the State Department that | the exclusion of the Chinese from the islands would ald materially in bring- ing the war to a close. It may be that General Otis issued his order for the exclusion of the Chinese because he holds views similar to those of Mr. Williams. -9-0 0 0900000 HUNTER ATTACKED - BY WOUNDED DEER e Nearly Killed by Ani- mal’s Hoofs. Sl oy Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 25.—John Enos, a | contractor at present engaged in cutting timber on the headwaters of the Laguni- tas, came near losing his life yesterday in an encounter with a wounded deer. Two faithful hounds ved him from death, but his condition still serious. Enos left his camp early in the morning for a hunt in Carson Canyon, taking with him two dogs. In the early part of the after- noon the dogs jumped a large buck, which, in fleeing from them, made directly for the d upon which Enos was waiting. As the animal approached he fired two shots. The first without effect, but the se ond struck the animal in the side, slightly wounding him.. The shot stopped him for a moment, and then seeing Enos but a ort distance away the infuriated beast made a dash for him. Rearing upon his hind legs the deer pawed the unfortunate hunter, forcing him to the ground. At this moment Enos’ dogs came up and attacked the buck on the hind quarters, thus drawing him away from their prostrate master. Whi dogs were worrying the deer Enos strug- gled 0 his feet, and drawing a large hunting knife stabbed the animal in the neck. In spite of this the deer continued to fight the dogs until at last the loss of olood forced him to the ground, where the oon dispatched him. managed to reach the woodchop- amp an hour later in an ex d condition. He was taken to his put to bed, where he has remained, being unable to get up. The sharp hoofs of the deer lacerated his flesh and completely tore the clothing from the upper part of his body. It will be several weeks before he will be able to move around. Enos has led a life full of adventure. He claims to have taced armed men of all nationalities in his day, but never remem- bers to have had so narrow an escape from death before. He describes the at- tack of the infuriated beast with a shud- der, and says he will carry a vivid re- membrance of the experience to the grave. Argues for Venezuela. PARIS, Aug. The sittings Anglo-Venezuelan Boundary Arbitration Commission were re:.umed to-day. Pro- fessor John R. Soley, continuing his ar- gument in behalf of Venezuela's case, said that while evidence of British sovereignty was absent proofs existed of Venezuela's control. He devoted much of his time to an interpretation of the agreement of 1850. _———— Major Harrison Better.

He said he had changed his name and gave a wrong age when he enlisted, so that his friends could not follow him. He joined the army for the purpose of win- ning glory in the service of his country and returning crowned with the laurels of the hero. Upon inquiry, he admitted that his anticipations were sadly crushed, and that all he brought with him was a lot of experience and an empty stomach.
