the noble conduct of the command

British flag is unfurled 1t is honored
and respected; none SO bold.as not to
do it honor. Every consul insists on
as much respect to his country's as to
his own, but our consul sits down, gen.
orally, in supreme Indifference, careless
OF all but his own ease.
A system Of civil service Is demand

should be schooled in diplomacy, and
should be required to guard closely
their country's honor, and the safety

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 70.
Before the panic company of Indi-
anians, mostly of this city, about one
hundred and fifty in number, detirm-
lining to seek homes in the milder cli-
mate, in the neighborhood of San
Diego, Southern California, sent Mr..
D. NJ. Berry, Of this city, as agent to
examine the country and choose q
good location for the colony. Mr..
Berry, assisted by Gen. Kimbal, the
recently appointed Surveyor-General
of Utah, finding objections of drouth
and other evils to San Diego county,
Santa Barbara, and other places exam
ined by them, chose $500 acres on the
end Of the San Pasqual rancho, four
miles from the city of Los Angeles,
for which ten dollars per acre was
asked. But the money panic upset the
calculations Of most of the members,
making 1t impossible for them to fulfill
their intentions and agreements. The
land has just been secured, however,
by some fifteen only ofthe original in
tended colonists, of whom DR.. Thomas
B. Elliott is President, and by gentle
men Of Cincinnati, Boston, and other
cities, some Of whom are now OH the
ground, making preparations for inn
proving the same. The President and
remaining members will emigrate
this winter or in the spring. Among
them is Calvin Fletcher, with his
family, q son Of the late well known
Calvin Fletcher, who settled in this
city in 1921, and who filled so large a
page in the history of indianapolis.
Messrs. Mayhem, Matthews, and
others are of the number engaged.

Brigadier General Juan Nepomu-
ceno Burriel y Linch has naturally
been deified to no small degree in the
city Of Santiago de Cuba on the occa-
sion of his massacre of the unfortun-
ates taken on board the ill-fated Vir-
ginius.
TheBa'sderd EspanolG, of Santiago
de Cube the 10th ult., publishes the
following editorial remark, the wish
being, doubtless, father to the thought:
"a Madrid paper states tnat His Ex-
cellency Brigadier General Juan N.
Burriel has been promoted to tho rank
Of general, and, although the report
lacks official confirmation, we suppose
our colleague is well informed. Upon
such an auspicious event we heartily
congratulate His Excellency for his
well-merited promotion in the name
Of the Spanish Club Of this city, and In
our own behalf"
The Linch at the end of Burriel's
name is the name of his mother,
which the Spaniards ofttimes add to
the paternal name. In al probability
the original spelling was Lynch.

with the celebrity OF sunbeam. At a
distance OF about six miles below the
starting point, Conductor Gibbons, who
was standing on the rear platform OF the

and Immediately stopped the train. All
hands repaired TO the waters edge and
did everything in their power to assist
the flying boat, but past them she went

ing the alarm Of danger. He did not
get another glimpse Of the boat, but the
alarm brought the employees at Beaver
Crock station to the lookout, who quickly
making slip-noose sought to throw it
over the bow OF the boat as she came
under the bridge. This they succeeded
in doing, but could no more hold it than
they could have held thunderbolt, and
over Beaver Creek falls she went with

a point one hundred miles below Dem
yer. Through Golden into the Flatte

went, unnoticed, nor slackened her pace
until she lodged in a drift at the dis.

A Mr.. Walsh, who lives on farm near

cred the boys still in the boat, which was
nearly full of water, and took them to
his home. They were restored TO their
overjoyed parents the following evening,
after having accomplished the most
perilous journey in the quickest time
ever before made by any human being
who escaped alive. The distance trav-
eled was one hundred and forty miles in
two hours; but how it was ever done, or
how the boat escaped being dashed upon
