DANGEROUS ADVENTURE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF
WEST MAUL-SignOr Spagno, an Italian gentleman,
who arrived here per last steamer from San Francis
CO, attempted a passage over the mountain from
Lahaina to Waikiki on foot, and alone. The pass
which has been traversed by several parties, is by
way of the OloWalu rayine, bat this traveller, who
would not take q guide, got into the Launipoko
gulch, which led him to.a series of impossible preci-
pices. He obtained a view Of a beautiful small
valley of great depth in the mountain, to which j.
was impossible to descend. In striving TO make his
way, he made extraordinary eforts-being an Alpine
traveller of much experience-but he lost his footing
at one time, and slid down a narrow precipitous
gorge, and was nearly drowned in a mountain stream.
AT this time, it being almost dark, and he being so
much exhausted by his extraordinary efforts and by
hunger. having lost his food and other conveniences
early in the day, he had to resign himself to pass
the night on a ledge in the gorge, and to stand in
water. As mountain showers continued to pour
down upon him, and being cold and much exhausted,
he had to make extraordinary efforts to maintain
some warmth and hopes of life. With returning
daylighthe managed to get out of the horrible pit
in which he had passed the night, and after great
efforts in working his way through an almost i'm
passable mountain chapparal. he succeeded in
retracing his steps back to Lahaina, where he ar
rived in G very exhausted and tattered condition.
But this indefatigable mountaineer, after n rest and
recruit of about six hours in town. started off again
upon another. arduous adventure.

TURKISH ATROCITIES. A
England Will not COndOne Them, but
will Join other States for Chris
lian Protection without

LONDON, August 90 The Times Of
this morning has an editorial On the
Bulgarian atrocities, Which concludes as
follows: "Mr. BariDg's report and the
testimony OF other official witnesses,
will have much practical value during
the negotiations which must follow the
close Of the Ssrvian wsr. They will
give this country good opportunity of
clearly defining the position 1t holds
with respect both to Turkey and tie
great powers. 1t has been said that
Turkish ministers are car less of Er glish
reuonstrances, because they think that
England will support Turkey, however
fiaRrantly shs may be misruled; and
hence it is argued that che is indirectly
responsible for the Bulgarian massacre,
but Ii is difficu to believe that Sd base
less an idea can mislead the shrewd
men who direct the Turkish empire.
They know little Of this country if they
thiak it could condone such atrocities
as those Of Bulgaria Like some other
States, she has interests In Turkey, and
it would be desirable to see her strong;
but Turkey csnrot be strong without be-
| ing well governed, and she never will
be well-governed until she has reversed
