on both t-ldi 8 there was the .same

An eminent scientist. Dr. Montano,
sent on a niUslon to tho Philippines
by the Flench Kovernment, describes
the entry of clown jurametitudus Into
Thinggi. Divided into thiee or four
bands, they managed to get through
the gates of tho town, bending under
loads ol fodder for cattle, which they
pretende-d to hnve for sale, and In
which they had hidden tholr creeses.
Quick as lightning they stabbed the
guards. Then. In their trenzled lourse,
they btruelt all whom they met.
Hearing tho cry of "l,os Jurntncn
tudoa!" tho soldiers fceized their arms.
The Juiamentndus rushed on them
fearle'ssly, their crte-ses clutched in
their hands. The bullets foil llko hail
among them, They bent, rront, glided
and struck. One of them, whoso breast
was pleiced thiough and through by
a bulb-t, roso and Hung himself on the
troops. IIo wus again trausilxod by a
bayonet; he remained erect vainly try
ing to leaeh his enemy, who held him
Impaled mi tho weapon. Another tol
dlcr had to run up and blow thu man's
bialns out before he let go IiIh prey.
When tho last of the Jutamontados had
fallen nnd the emphrs were picked up
from tlio street which consternation
had rendeied empty. It was found that
these eleven men had with tholr creeses
hacked fifteen soldiers to plecos, not to
reckon tho wounded.
