Englishman and Chinamen
on Trading Trip Victims
^of Strange Appetite.
.Manilla, P. I., Nov 1.—A tramp
steamer entering port here today re
ports that two Englishmen and
three Chinamen were eaten by
the eannibays or the Admiralty Is
lands. The officers of the steam
er say that the story as learned
from European and American resi
dents of the Islands is that the En
glishmen and the Chinamen went
into the interior on a trading ex
pedition, and their failure to re
turn excited suspicion. A searching
aprty was organized, and conclusive
proof was established that the
party was organizd, and conclusive
natives. At a point many mile8 in
land, a recent camp with the bones
of human being® scattered around
was found. Letters and other evi
dence picked up show conclusively
that the bones were those of the
missing men.
The disappearance of the men oc
cured about- 'lie time of a. religious
festival among the cannibals, and
the belief is that, these enters of
human flesh hutched the party to
help enliven their holiday and inad
u,ventually give thorn a square meal.
'English and Chinese residents in
this city will make an effort to got
their government* to organize an
expedition for the purpose of
punishing the cannibals.
