One of the saloon Gang Makes a
Confession.

Confession.
SAN BERNARDINo, July 27.-James
Tye, one of the parties arrested on Tues
day last, charged with setting fire to the
Arizona saloon at the depot in January
last, by which some twenty-five build
ings were burned, made a confession this
morning. stating that Tyler and Myers
hired him to fire the building and were
to pay him $3.50 for the business, but
they have never paid him yet. One
week ago Tyler offered him $50 to
set fire to the Calico saloon, which
burned Tuesday last, but owing
to an officer standing in front
of the saloon early Tuesday
morning he become frightened, and did
not set the building on fire. Tyler and
Myers went out to Roble Springs, and
stayed all night. in order to prove an
alibi, and when they came back in the
morning found the building had not been
burned. Tyler then set it on fire himself,
after cursing Tyler for cowardice. The
firebugs who set fire to b ouses on
First street Thursday night have not yet
been spprehended, although the officers
are on hot trail, and their arrest is now
thought to be only a matter of a few
hours.

cept little tuft about each ear. Orig
inally the hair was raven black, but
now rot half the people cling to the
old color,--preferring reddish yellow
which is obtained by covering the
head with thick lather of lime.
This treatment is kept up for few
days until the desired tint is obtained ;
and while native is thus plastered up
he is an odd looking fellow: bright
brown skin glistening with cocoa-nut
oil, Il gay lava-lava, or simple string OF
tappa about the waist, and then all this
surmounted by a mop of coarse hair
standing up through the white lime
plaster.
If that old saw be true, "that clean.
illness is next to Godliness," the Sa-
means must be safe for the hereafter,
for nearly every one swims and bathes
twice each day, and some of them that
1 know indulge in the luxury even Of
tener. Rivers and streams are numer-
Gus throughout the islands, and have
yet to cross one without seeing natives
in bathing and swimming. Children
along the beach play more in the surf
than on the land, and are quite as
much at ease swimming as walking.
When I first arrived in Samoa I was
beset by natives wishing to sell me Gu
riosities. Fortunately held off for a
while, and now T have all the rings,
combs, tappa, fans, mats, sticks, war
clubs, and so on, that can take care
of. Nearly all are presents from
friends among the Samoans,-warrors
and their relatives whom ! transported
to the hospital in Matantu after the
battle of Lauli. All other American
officers engaged upon like duty have
been as literally rewarded, and have
scores of friends at their bidding
among the dusky natives of these
beautiful isles.
Great honor is paid. the United
States flag by the Samoans every af-
ternoon when the bugler at the Con-
sulate Sounds" sun-set the flag is
hauled down from the staff amid the
hearty cheering Of scores of men, wo-
men and children, who seem 10th to
leave the spot even after the colors are
to he seen no more.
Speaking of the flag reminds me ola
woman here whom ] saw on one occa-
sion wearing the tattered remnant of a
"star spangled banner" as q lava-lava,
only, she had it Oh up-side-down. A
jolly tar from the Nipsic was coming
along the road at the time, and, de-
scrying the inverted flag, made rush
for the dusky fair one, eXclaiming, the
while, with more rum than judgment,
"Meriker amt flying no signal of dis
tress down here,-not much she amt,
and you just haul down, or I'll make
you" In few seconds "Jacky" was
where the woman had been, but she
had escaped at the first signal of alarm,
and he stood still, quite puzzled, try
ing to "take his bearings" and doubt
less believing that his strongly spiritu-
allied gaze was sadly befogged. But
"Jacky" is very various fellow, and
it would take far too much space for
ME to spin half the yarns 1 know
about his many eccentricities.
