Panis, March 14th. Dr. How Rice, the American ex- plorer, who rediscovered a giant race of bluude ludians in South America, to-day) gave me interesting details of bis en- counter with these savages, who have never been seen by any white man sincr the year 1761, when the Spaniards are re ported to have caught sight of them.'
They live in the hills near the spot where the Custiquïäri Cunal, the only natural canal in the world, 227 miles long, connects the Orinoco with the Río Negro, an affluent of the amazon. They are n fierce and war-like tribe, who live by hunting and fishing, but, unlike other Indians, have no dogs, and trap and catch animals themselves. They have absolute- ly no knowledge of fire, eat their food raw, go completely naked, and prey on other buuman beings, whom they kill and cat.

The party consisted of three white men and seven Indian guides.every arrangement greatly facilitates reference. Their only weapons were one shot gu and one rille. The expedition "had ar rived in the night of January 1st by caune at an island in the rapids: They saw no sign of Indians, but were evident- ly seen by the cannibals, who watched and waited all night with the intention of attacking the intruders.
In the morning, as soon as it became light, the party, were startled by most blood-curdling shouts, and looking across to the opposite bank, a few hundred yards away, they saw the bank lined by ia dense mass of these naked blonde was

The party took cover behind some boulders and decided to open negotiations by parley." They tried several "Indiyo dialects, but not one was understood. Finally, as the attitude of the cannibals was growing increasingly menacing, they decided to try the effect of a shot over their heads. The report of the rifle the first the savages had ever heard-had un instantaneous and magical effect. The whole band entirely disappeared in moment, as though swallowed up by the earth.
Before long, however, they emerged and this time it was evident that the Indians intended to attack in force. The party on the island realised that they' would have no chance if it ever came to a hand-to-hand tussle. The shrieks of the Indians grew louder and fiercer, so that the noise of the rapids was drown- ed.
INDIANS FIXED ON. The position of the party seemed des perate, and every moment they expected to see the savages wade into the water to attack the island. They, therefore, resolved to open fire. The first, shot brought down, a big Indian, but it was necessary to kill a dozen before the party could emerge into the open and collect their tents and other possessions, which thep piled in their canoes. They then slipped, away down the rapids, followed by shouts and showers of arrows, which, fortunately, fell out of harm's way.

Dr. Rice told me that the only thing which prevented the party from being served up as a meal was the fact that these Indians possess no rafts or canoes, for he does not believe that frearms would have been sufficient to ward off! Touki attacks by large numbers. Only two women were seen with the tribe. They were fine, well-developed specimens, and, like the med, entirely nude. These two were probably allowed to take part in the fighting, while the rest were in camp nad out of danger.
Dr. Rice has spent twenty years ex- ploring, mapping, and surveying South- East Colombia and North-West Brazil tracing the sources of rivers, varrying out geological and medical researches, studying diseases among the Indians, and collecting biological data. He tande some interesting wireless experimenta during this expedition, using an apparatus which fitted into a shit-case, with antennin-like an umbrella frame. This could be erect ed in four minutes, and he was able to signal daily to Washington and Anna polic
