A, late of the Philip- pine scouts, battle-scarred and in poor health, but on the road to recovery, de- epite bullet-punctured lungs and a fever- laden system, with a new and startling story of the wonders of the Philippines. He tells of the existence in the interior cf Mindoro Island of a perfectly white race, semi-civilized, partly Christianized, but cruelly hostile in their discourage- ment of communication with the outside world. The favored few that have been permitted to penetrate the fastnesses of these exclusive Caucasians tell tales of a country rich in vegetable and mineral | wealth, speak of 2 people skilled in the various domestic crafts, orderly, gentle and hospitable, but well enough satisfied | wath th—- little world to resent the in- trusion the cutside. the strenuous civilization of Into this country Lieutenant de Clair-| mont hopes some day to lead an explora- tion party, trusting to his knowledge of | the people and his ability to speak their | language with Castillian purity to gain | him the free passage hitherto denied visi- | tors from the outside world. Although discovered twenty-five years ago, little has been heard of this isolated nation and outslde of a small and official circle in Madrid, nothing is known. The story of the first discovery reads like a fairy tale. HAVE CITY OF 20,000. Lieutenant de Clairmont was stationed Mindoro island, and the following story told to him by one Manuel Castro, a native of high standing, was corfoborated by the local priest and by the presidente of the province. at Pagbilao, Taijabas Province, | De Clairmont had been ordered home |2nd was attending a farewell reception given in his honer by the President. He | had been telling his host of the wonders | of the United States, had spoken of the | aifferent races living there in prosperous | harmony, when Manuel Casfro volun- ered the statement that also in the | Philippines could be found races of many distinct varieties. “Here in Mindoro,” he | said, “we have one race that is perfectly | white. They are located in the interfor, | having as their headquarters a city of more than 20,00 inhabitants, There are &s many more of them scattered through- out the country surrounding their capi- tal.”” | According to Castro the existence of these white folk was discovered twenty- five years ago by a fpanish surgeon. The Spaniard had penetrated the interior on a hunting trip. He noticed some birds of rare and curious plumage and, anxious | 0 secure a specimen was led for eeveral miles through the trails of a dense tropi- cal growth. He came to a clearing in the center of which stood a neatly buflt hut On a nearby tree was resting one of the birds he sought. He took careful aim, fired and missed the bird. The sound of the explosion, however, alarmed the in- | habitants of the hut and while looking in | vain for the bird the surgeon was sur- prised to see a white man and woman step out of the house, stare at him with frightened gaze and then run for the cever of the nearby thicket. He followed {the fleeing pair, but after a short dis- tance lost their trail and returned to the { hut. Within, lying all unconscious of thelr parents’ alarm, he found two boy bables, apparently twins.

He | obtained the assistance of City Marshal | Howell and Deputy Constable Tompkins and the three men proeeeded to the chop- house to arrest McKenney. The latter was just coming out of the door when Willis told him to wait a minute. Mec- Kenny instantly opened fire, shooting Will Lynn in the arm. BATTLE ON A STREET. Willis and Howell returned the fire, emptying their revolvers. McKenny had also emptied his weapon. Willis followed up McKenny, striking him over the head with his cane. McKenny had reloaded his revolver and again fired at Willis, striking him in the jaw. McKenny then ran to a near-by house where he had made his home and procured more am- munition. On his return he again met Will Lynn and filled him fairly full of buckshot. He then went to the Arlington stables, where he aroused Frank Butler, the man in charge, and ordered him. to hitch up a team. 3 - Butler «abeved through Main street several times, shoot- ing at every one in sight and wounding a printer named George Barron, who works in the Enterprise office.

The crowd which gathered in the Place de la Con- corde numbered 15,000 persons, while as many more thronged the Champs Elysees. The Clerical and anti-Clerical forces about equally divided the gatherings. The for- ‘mer were distinguishable by the red, white and blue paper flowers which they wore, while the latter sported red eglantines. Though many fights occurred, they never became general nor was any person seriously injured.

On the whole the crowds were good-natured and mainly confined themselves to shouting “Lib- erty, Liberty “Long Live the Sis- ters!” and ‘e Want the Sisters!” To this the anti-Clericals replied “Vive le Re- publique!”” and “Down with the Priest: ‘The occasional appearance of a priest was a signal for much hooting and sev- eral fights were due to their presence WOMEN JOIN THE MOBS. A striking feature of the manlifestations was the large number of women, many of them well dressed, who actively partici- pated. Nor were all these clerical in their sympathies, for the anti-Clerical women also were cut in strong force and they oc- casionally niade things Hvely for their Clerical sisters, whom the police had some difficulty in protecting. In one instance a detachment of mounted guards had to res- cue three well dressed ladies from the hands of a group of Socialist women who were bent upon mobbing them. The Clericals made several attempts (o reach the Place Beauveau, on which the Elysee Palace and the Ministry of the Interior are situated, but were prevented doing so by strong cordons of police and municipal guards, who were stationed at all the approaches in order to prevent demonstrations in front of these bulld- ings. ghe demonstrations culminated when a - 8Toup of thirty ladies, some in carriages and some on foot, headed by Mesdames lle, De Mun, Ciblel and Depommerol, attempted to reach the Ministry of the Interior in order to present to Premier Combes a petition on hehalf of the Sisters. The police, however, refused (o allow them to pas: SOLDIERS USE BUTTS OF GUNS. Subsequently the Clericals made an angry rush on the cordon guarding the Avenue Gabrielle, and the soldiers had to use the butts of their guns to keep back the crowd. Another violent incident oecurred om the Champs Elysees, where the crowd began throwing the small iron chairs bor- dering the sidewalks, among the feet of the horses of the mounted guards. One horse fell. injuring its rider. A number of prominent Nationalists, inciuding Deputies Millevoye and Auffray and several municipal Councilors were conspicuous in the crowd, and were much cheered by their followers and hooted by the anti-Clericals. By 7 o'clock to-night the crowd began to thin out, and an hour later the Place de la Concorde and the Champs Elysees had resumed their customary appecar- ance. A s shower hastened the dis- persal of e manifestants.
