MUST HAVE DOG MEAT.

Filipinos at St. Louis Fair Demand Cunlne Steak. Application has been made to the St. Louis city poundmaster by the commissary department of the Philippine Commission to supply a. number of dogs daily for the canine-eating tribe of Irrogotes now quartered at the Cuartel de Filipino at the World's Fair, says a correspondent. Mr. R. Ilealy, in cliarge of this savage tribe, stated that lie would try to procure tlie necessary number of dogs from the city pound if they could not be had elsewhere. The Irrogotes, after they left Seattle, did not have any dog meat for three weeks, and they complained bitterly of. this neglect. So far the authorities in charge have been so busy getting the several tribes comfortably located that they have not had time to investigate ,the dog market in St. Louis. Iu the absence of this piece de resistance of the Irrogotes the commissary department has been supplying Americnn home-made sausage. liut the 75 dog-enting members of this tribe are not satisfied with this substitution.
