HAVE NO RELISH
FOR WHITE MEN
Now Guinea Cannibals Assert
Tiiey Taste Gail,
IMMERSE THEIR VICTIMS,
Cause of Natives' Dislike For White
Diet Is That They Are Fed on Too
Many Condiments, Says Dr. Hofman,
Well Known Authority on Habits of
Man Eating Savages.
Cannibals seldom eat white captives
intl then without zest, says a scientific
report 011 the subject to tho German
government by Dr. Hofman, formerly
a consul in Africa and an authority
on tho subject of tribal customs.
AVriting of the recent murder of tho
Geriiinii-Ainorlcan mineralogist, John
Henry Warner, by natives of Now
Guinea, Dr. Hofman assorts that the
abstention of cannibals In Africa and
Guinea from the licsli of white men
Is not because they fear the spirit of
tho white victim or his powers of mag
ic, as lias been assumed, but because
they consider Unit It has nn unpleas
ant taste duo to use of sharp spices
and condiments and of salted dishes in
the diet of tho European.
Dr. Hofman cites an article printed
several years ago in a journal of Li
beria in which it was said that the
cannibals In the Liberlan territory eat
a white man only when ho fulls lute
their hands alive. Then tho vlcUm is
immersed to the neck In a running
brook and hold there by bonds for two
or three days, on much the same prin
ciple that an oyster Is "floated" In
fresh water after being taken from
the beds. Dr. Hofman has confirma
tion of tills from a former cannibal.
Cannibalism Still Flourishing.
The reported killing and eaUng of
Mr. Warner in Papua by the natives
has called attention to the fact that
cannibalism is by no means stamped
out In Now Guinea. Warner believed
that radulm could bo found In Tapua
and fell a victim to his own zeal. It
is reported that his two native com
panions escaped ills horrible fate,
news of which they brought to tho
coast.
At one time official circles believed
that cannibalism was a thing of tho
past in British Now Guinea, but clear
evidence that It lias persisted into the
present ueeauo lias ueen proviueit oy
unimpeachable witnesses. In a book
published last year J. II. P. Murray,
lieutenant governor and chief judicial
officer of Papua, has much to say
about tho practice of cannibalism
among the natives in tho island, no
writes about boiling springs which not
many years ago were used for cooking
nny prisoners captured in the village
warfare.
Describing the northeastern dlvislou
of the island, Murray quotes a native
witness, who, telling of the eating of
human bodies, said: "We boll them;
wo cut them up and boll them in a
pot. Wo boil babies, too; wo cut them
op like pigs. Wo eat them cold or
hot; wo eat tho legs first Wo eat them
because they are like fish. Wo havn
fish In the creeks and kangaroos In
tho grass, but men aro our real food."
Proves Man of His Word.
Murray tells of a remark of a Fergu
son Islander to a stranger who wished
to buy betel nuts from him: "Wkj
should I sell you betel nuts. I am go
ing to eat you." Which he promptly
did. Ho also writes of a crew of
shipwrecked Chinese, who were eaten
one by one, until the captors, surfeited
with the diet, peddled those who were
left around the coast, selling them to
the highest bidders. Wives who ven
tured to look around during the fu
nerals of their husbands were killed
and eaten.
One naUve who was concerned in the
killing of a neighboring chief and his
two wives told of tho subsequent eat
ing of tho vicUms with tho utmost
unconcern. He told of eating the hand
of one wife, but refused to touch the
other, as he had killed her. and It was
not tho custom of ills trlbo to eat one's
own victim. Tho two women were
singed first, then cut up Into mnall
pieces, mixed with sago, cooked, wrap
ped up In leaves and distributed among
tho victors, Including their women and
children.

An official test of effectiveness of tho

lantic terminal of the canal, from
which point the maneuvers will bo di
rected. Naval experts will determine defi
nitely how near vessels can get to the
canal by day or night without discov
ery. Observations will bo mado from
tho fire control towers, 128 feet above
deck, and attempts to sketch tho locks
and fortifications will be mado. From
tho. fire control towers it Is estimated
that the range of vision Is Increased
sixteen to eighteen miles.
Attempts to determine whether an
invading fleet could get near enough
to tho canal to Are shells ashore will
also bo made. Tests to determino the
value of tho canal breakwnter for a
fleet anchorage will also form a part
of tho program.
At Culebra Island, whose value as ah
advance base will bo determined, ma
rines will bo landed first to tako the
oretical possession. They will plant
mines and torpedoes nnd will set up
emergency guns to hold It until tho ar
rival of tho fleet.
