EVENTS IN WASHINGTON.

The case of First Lieat. James #. Simp-
son, of the third cavalry, tried by court
martial, on charges of conduct unbecom-
ing an officer and gentleman, in marrying
woman who had been his mistress, will soon
receive final action. The conrt found
Lieut. Simpson guilty, and sentenced him
to dismissal. It is understood that Judge
Advocate Gen. Swain, in his review of the
case, takes exception to the action of the
court, and recommends that the sentence be
set aside.
Prof. Nordenskjold, referring to the
statement of Hans Hendrix. the Esquimaux
that Lieut.. Greedy, commander of the Amer
ican Arctic expedition, had been murdered
by his mutinous crew, telegraphs that Hen
dirk was told brave commander had been
murdered, which, Prof. Nordenskjold says,
is evidently an Esquimaux exaggeration, re-
sembling the slander circulated as to the
cause of Capt. Ha'"s death IN 1871.
Officers of the First and other army corps

Sandwich Islanders in Swimming.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our guide had arranged for an exhibition
of the swimming powers of tho natives. and
upon our arrival We found several men on
the side of the fall where we took our stand,
while upon the other stood six or seven
dusky maidens. The water tumbles over
series of natural bridges commencing high
up in the mountain range. The main fall
is sheet about twenty yards wide, and
with other smaller streams falls into cir
cirlar basin beneath at the debth
Of at least 100 feet. A series Of
rude declivities have been cut
by the natives to a depth of sixty or seven
ty feet, to enable visitors to witness their
watery gambols. Our party was perfectly
astonished at the way in which
these kanakas dispolted themselves in
the water. Divested of all clothing, both
men and women would dive into the basin
or pool to depth of thirty or forty feet.
coin thrown into water would be brought
up with the greatest rapidity. Some of
the girls took up a p,sition on rock
which, to judge by eye measurement, was
at least sixty feet high, and jumped into
the basin with their bodies in rigid posi-
ton. Others again assembled TO the top of
the fall and came down with the water In
its descent. No small wonder. indeed.

sharks, which they do by getting under
their belly and ripping it open.

amount was expended in Minneapolis. When
other cities are added, the grand total will not
