red, blue and green lights. In the af-
ternoon several boats visited the place
OF eruption, cruising over the most ac-
tive part, where the water was in q
state OF peculiar activity, boiling and
appearing as If passing over rapids or
very much like the water at He'll Gate.
New York. Blocks of lava two feet
square came up from below frequently,
striking and jaring the boats. As the
lava was quite soft, no harm was done
Nearly all the pieces on reaching the
surface were red hot, emitting steam and
gas strongly sulphurous. A rumbling
noise was heard like that of rocks in
in treshet. caused, no doubt, by the
eruption OF lava from the submarine
crater, which is supposed to be crack
or line OF rupture extending at least a
mile from shore. Another rupture
doubtless a continuation of the sub.
marine fissure was traced inland from
there nearly three miles, ranging in idth
from few inches to three feet. In some
places water was seen running down into
the abyss below. A severe shock oi
of earthquake was felt by those living al
Kaowaloa and Kell during the night oi
the eruption. which must have preceded
the outbreak. 1t was quite severe but
no damage was reported.

SHALL l STEAL OR BEas

Yesterday afternoon a poor. wretch
ed looking man, with countenance
that showed he was suffering the most
intense anguish. and also told of long
fasting and want of that sustenance
that keeps up the human body stood
looking into the show window Of q
bakers shop on the hill top, in which
were displayeda o large quantity of
bread and cakes, which looked most
tempting to the hungry, and particular
ly to him who had starving little on ss
at home. The poor man was staring
at the bread, as II by long and q
strong gaze he could draw it out
through the glass window and into his
possession. At last he was heard to
say, in the most desperate tones, "Ny
Godl shall I steal or begf" and the
words hissed through his clenched
teeth as If he would cut his way
through any impediment that stood
between him and the much crassd
food. Again he uttered the horrible
alternative. "Shall | steal or beg2'
and then, ,as il some warning had come
to him from an unseen source, ,he look
ed again at the bread and cakes in the
window, and turned from the tempting
sight and fed towards the Five Cor
ners with as much speed as his famine
wasted framed would permit AS IL run
ing away from temptation. sOhl you
that have bountiful board to sit down
at daily, think of the terrible sufferings
of that tempted man, and forgive him
should he either "steal or beg. g."-Jer-

pronounced ten hours after the receipt OF
the order Of the chief executive of the
nation to transfer the accused and the
proceedings in his case to the Capital.
Cortina's organ declared to-day that the
pretence of sending him to the City Of
Mexico is merely to have an opportunity
to shoot him on the way, under the plea
that he attempted to escape. 1t is known
that General Canales hastelegraphed that
he will obey the order to send Cortina to
Mexico, and it is believed that Cortina
will be started on his way to the Capital
under strong escort, but it. is doubtful il
he reaches his destination.
