The Natives Object to Excessive Taz.sse. ~

Late advices from Caroline Island state that
an era Of insurrection and bloodshed set In
among the natives and Spanish troops CHARTERED
in that group. The fact that Admiral Belknap
dispatched The cruiser Alliance 10 Penapi 70
protect the American missionaries, whose lives
and property were threatened equally By Span
iards and natives, was made known several
days ago by intelligence received from Asiatic
stations. 1t ID not merely American residents
who are threatened. Every white pefson on
the island and Spaniards in particular are fear
full Of having their property stolen and being
murdered.
A traveller named Anderson who has been
engaged in inter-island commerce for several
years returned to Jaliut in the Marshal group
lately, bringing startling intelligence Of the
extent of the trouble and its causes He saws
that the natives are q superior species of their
race. They did not object to the coming of the
Spaniards until the latter managed to induce
Spain to proclaim a protectorate over the
group. Quite recently the Spanish officials in
creased native taxation, which has always been
repugnant feature of their administration
The natives were oppressed by this new levy
and their refusing to pay it was the cause Of
the existing troubles. Moreover the troops on
the island are. in many instances, drunken,
rlotous mob. The natives armed themselves
ana mad several sharp engagements with the
Span1ards. They were cut down like grass by
gattling guns and have been row retreating
into the bushy country. The Spanish soldiers
followed them and were in turn decimated by
islands.

Their Wishes.
Mr.. Parnen and his sister, Mrs. Dickinson,

for London, whittier Timothy Harrington will
follow him today. Mr.. Parnell, accompanied
by Mr.. Harrington, will start on Tuesday for
Boulogne-sur-Mer. where Messrs. John Red
mond and Clancy await him. II is understood
that Mr.. Parnen has placed himself in the hands
Of his friends.
Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, it il stated, has ex-
pressed a willingness to retire in favor Of Mr..
O'Brien. The anti-Parnellites are very anxious
on the subject Of funds, being pinched for re-
sources even for ordinary expenses, while the
evicted tenants are allowed to shift as best they
may at the most trying period Of the year. But
for this the anti-Parnellites would pay little
attention to the Boulogne conference and 60

will retire from the leadership of the liberal
party.
1. is reported that Mr.. Davitt has written O
letter to Mr.. o Brien not to deal with Mr.. Par
nell except as medium to obtain the surrender
OF the party's banking account in Paris.
Madame Raffaeloevich. Mr.. O'Brien's mother
in-law, says that Mr.. O'Brien will not return to
Ireland to enter prison. leaving the party feud
unhealed. While the rupture lasts she says,
he can better serve the cause in Paris or in
America.
The London Times repeats its acceptance Of
William O'Brien' s-denials that he was a con-
trlbutor to the Irish World. However, it adds:
But in regard to his (O'Brien's) assertion that
the Irish World is not still preaching dynamite,
we can only reproduce Mr.. Ford's own words
from his issue Of December Is assuming the
responsibility Of an honest Interpretation of
the term 'dynamiter.'
The unionist dallies applaud the Dublin castle
appeal, and express confidence that it will meet
with hearty response.
The Paris correspondent of the London Daily
he'os says: There are the strongest grounds to
believe that Figaro is well informed in declar-
ing that Mr.. Parneh insists on the resignation
OF Justin Mccarthy from his leadership as the
condition for his own retirement till he marries
Mrs O'Shea. Gdligndu says it learns from an
intimate friend of Mr.. O Brien that if the nego-
tiations with Mr.. Parnell be brought to a satis-
factory conclusion within three weeks then Mr..
O'Brien will submit to the sentence of i'm

WAITING FOR HIS BASKET.
How q Newspaper Man Was Taken In by q
Man Of Guile.


There is one newspaper correspondent in this
city who is slow to enter into conversation in
which bunko steerers are being discussed. and
there is in his heart sympathy which goes out
toward those Senators who sent several of their
dollars to Mr.. Duvall in return for
numerous baptismal certificates. This partic-
ular scribe is a man Of more than ordinary
astuteness; the possessor Of large and varied
assortment Of experience. gathered in the
course Of much newsgathering in the wit sharp-
sning northwest. Three our four weeks ago
there called upon him dejected-looking speci-
men Of humanity who claimed that some months
previous he (the detected being) had received
at the hands of him (the correspondent finan-
cial assistance. The correspondent failed to
recollect any such behavior as he was accused
of, but his visitor was so emphatic and so cir
cumstantial that he succumbe6 to the recital Of
his own philanthropy. The once poor man was
good living by the manufacture of fancy bas-
kets. He was grateful. and he desired to show
his gratitude by weaving for his benefactor one
of the most beautiful specimens of his skill,
Just q Christmas gift IL was, however, nee
essary that the basket be lined with silk, and
this he could not afford to do unless he was as
sisted. Some people might be satisfied with a
siikless basket, but il was certain that the
correspondent was not one of them. The
detected ones estimate OF the correspondent
estheticism was correct and that gentleman
handed out the sum Of Is cents. with which a
su.fciency of silk was to be purchased Then
the grateful man shuffied down three flights OF
stairs to the street and the generous one has
not seen him since.
In order that the laugh may not be all on
one man it is proper TO state that several other
denizens of Newspaper row were caught in the
same trap.
