A srowAwAY,s TALE.
A Story OF Adventure In tho South g.
Islands.

A Story OF Adventure In the South Sea
Islands.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 20.-James
White, stowaway, from Honolulu on
the steamer Australia, tells remarka-
bile story of bis adventures in the South
seas. Last May he deserted from an
American ship in Sydney and shipped
on 100-ton schooner for a trading voy-
age among the islands of the Pacific.
Soon after leaving the Australian coast
guns were brought up from the hold,
which he was told were to be sold
to the islanders. The vessel carried
crew of fifteen men, COM
manded by Captain Cotton. asoutherner.
At the fret place the vessel touched five
young girls were forcibly abducted.
The natives pursued in canoe, and
when near the ship were fired upon, six
or eight being killed. The canoe was
overturned and the rest were devoured
by sharks which swarmed IN the water.
Two weeks later the vessel touched at
another island, and in a fight with ma
lives, one of the crew was killed and the
mates arm broken. At another island
a lot of sandal wood was stolen, and the
schooner chased by French gunboat,
but they got away. AT the Guahan
islands White deserted and was taken
to Honolulu by the brig Madrone.

REvOLUrIONIsr CARA.
He Is Hard to Catch Because of His
humorous Sympathizors.

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. 20-Adjutant-
General Maybry returned tonight from
the Rio Grande region. He believes
CARA is in trouble because Of the de-
moralization and even desertion of some
of his men; that he will either sur
render or be captured within the next
ten days. Maybry visited Garza's wife
and father in-law and tried to assure
them it was best for him to surrender,
but they appeared impressed with the
idea that he would fight. The fact that
great majority of the people near the
Rio Grande seem in sympathy with
him, is what makes it 80 hard to catch
him.
LAREDO, Tex, Jan. 20.-A correspond
ent took a three days ride with con-
fidential friend of Cara to the vicinity
of Garza's headquarters. He did not
see Cara, but had an interview with
one OF his chief lieutenants, who vehe-
mently denounced the charge that they
are bandits. They paid for everything
they used, and were well supplied with
the sinews of war. CARA had, he said,
over thousand followers and adherents
on this side of the river, and all the peo-
pie, as well as half the army, on that
side were with him.

Rio DE JANEIRo, Jan. 20.-After
season of comparative tranquility, this
city has again become violently dis
turbed and the citizens thrown into a
state of excitement. The trouble began
yesterday evening when 100 prisoners
confined for various offenses in Fort
Santa Cruz mutinied and succeeded in
overpowering the guards and soldiers
stationed at the place. They advanced
upon Forts Rico and Tage, overcame
the soldiers on duty and took possession
of the two forts and all the munitions of
war they contained. Flushed by their
victories the prisoners, after. perfecting
all arrangements for guarding the forts,
boldly demanded the restoration to
power of the deposed dictator, Fonseca.
The government hurried all the avail
able forces TO the scene of uprising.
Troops were placed to surround the forts
on the land side, while war ships were
stationed to guard the harbor side. The
order to advance was given this morn
ing, and the troops at once moved to
the attack, while the guns of the war
vessels began to hurl shells. The efforts
,of the soldiers were directed against
Fort Rico. They made combined
grand assault on the works, and
after a show OF resistance by the
rebels, TIE troops carried the fort.
In the meantime the gunboats we're
bombarding Fort Santa Cruz, and so
effective was their work that the rebels
were soon forced to surrender. The
troops eventually obtained possessionso Of
all the forts which had been seized, and
the prisoners were again placed in cells.
The firing during the attack on the fprts
was plainly heard throughout the city,
and caused the greatest CONSERVATION.
Many timid persons sought places of
safety, and the re-keepers closed their
places of business and securely bolted
and barred their doors and windows.

A Special Service for the Queen-Magni-
ficent Floral Offerings.
LONDON, Jan. 20.--The queen, accom-
panied by Princess Louise, today at
tended a special memorial service f r
her grandson, the duke of Clarence, in
the chapel at Osborn honse, conducted
by Canou Duckworh. The queen walked
feebly, and was assisted by Princess
Louise.
The prince of Wales and family and
Princess Mary of Teck are staying at
Windsor tonight, but the funeral guests
have left the castle. After the funeral
the prince of Wales admitted that he
was intensely oppressed and weary. He
had a. hard day. The guests concur in
saying he appeared to be worn and i'll,
and the overstrain is telling on him.
He walked behind the coffin three
miles to Wolverton, in submission
to the prescribed usage. In addition,
he had to stand long time at Windsor
station while various distinguished per-
sons conveyed to him expressions of
coincidence. The prince had kindly
greeting for EACH He was extremely
,solcltous throughout the day for the
scomiort OF every body around him.
The spectators of the funeral agree in
saying its most notable feature was its
simplicity; there was an absence OF
spectacular display and plainness of
ceremonial features hitherto unknown
in connection with the burials of princes
of 80 high rank.
The czar and czarina sent splendid
floral offering-a magnificent wreath,
fifteen feet in diameter, composed of
lilies, orchids and other choice flowers.
1t is inscribed. ITO our beloved
nephew" A cushion OF violets, piece
fifty inches long, set off with long tas-
sells made of rare white orchids, is the
offering received from the king and
queen of Portugal. Similar TOKENS of
sympathy came from most of the Eu-
ropean courts and embassies and the
artistocratic families of England.
During the evening the coffin was re-
moved from St. Georges chapel to AL
bert memorial chapel, where it was
placed between the cenotaph of the late
prince consort and the recumbent figure
OF the duke of Albany. 1t will remain
in its present position until Saturday. in
order that the queen may be enabled to
place q wreath upon it.

work is now favorably known in foreign
countries; that six states containing
over one-fourth the population of this
country have created commission to
procure uniform legislation upon mar

been made to all the states whose legis-
latures hold biennial sessions this

The Mexican ore Embargo.

Ell PAso, Tex, Jan. 20 For the last
two days no silyer ore has been imported
from Mexico into this country, though
seventy car loads Of ore are in the yards
across the river. The cause OF the
blockade is the new order just sent out
from the treasury department. of Mex
leo, placing heavy duty on all high
grade ores exported into this country.
For protection the smelling companies
will be forced to establish plants in
Mexico on account of the embargo
placed on Mexican ore containing lead
by the rules of the United States tress-
ury. Under the new order, ore running
more than 80 ounces to the ton, must
pay duty of s4 AS on every 500 worth
of ore, in excess Of 80 ounces.

THE CAPTAIN PRATT.
Almost Completed and in Condition to
Go to Sea Any Day.

New YORK, Jan. 20.-The latest news
from France concerning the fitting out
of the Chilean armored war ship Cap
tain Pratt is to the effect that the work.
shops will have the vessel ready for sea
in thirty days. A number of small fit
tings remain to be placed in position.
though the larger part of the work is
what almost any wide-awake officer
would undertake to carry on out at sea.
1t is even thought probable that the
Chilean commander, now with the ves-
sci, may take this view of the case, and
under pretense OF a steaming trial, make
off with the new ship for South Amer
lea. Among naval officers here it is rec
ognized that the Captain Pratt, when
fully completed, will be one OF the best
fitted out war ships in the world.

There is no lees activity in the navi-

translation of cipher dispatches. Though
the peaceful rumors have very general
effect, many naval officers refuse to place
entire credence in them, alleging that
Chile is making a show of relenting in

A very accurate index of popular sem

that pour in upon Secretary Tracy from

THE Hill City Reveille makes
some serious charges against Harry
Freese, of the Hays City Free Press
and apparently substantiates them
by publishing some letters written
by Freese. It appears that Freese
desired to be reelected secretay of
the senatorial committee at Colby
last fall but the delegates thought
otherwise and elected another man,
and in order to obtain revenge for this
slight he became very lukewarm, to
say the least,in bis support of the pop
ulist nominee Mr.. Griebel, and thus
contributed to the election of Mr..
Willcockson. In consideration of
the result we feel inclined to for
give Mr.. Freese if he is willing to
be forgiven. We will even go far
ther and say that if he is guilty as
charged it was the best move he
ever made. from a patriotic stand
point, since we have known HIM.

The man who subscribes to every
thing contained in his party plat
form, snerely because it, is there, is
either too indolent or ignorant to
think for himself or he places party
above principle. We do not under
stand that to be ia republican we
must advocate every measure pro-
posed BY republicans, regardless of
its tendency, and in utter disregard
Of what our own conscience and un-
derstanding might approve. From
the very nature of things it is hard
ay possible for an honest thinking
man to endorse everything that may
be formulated by the leaders and
platform makers Of his party. In
the main the party with which he
is identified more nearly represents
his principles than any other and
for that reason he supports its
nominees who are pledged to carry
ont those ideas. 1t is only those,
who lack in some of the essen
itial requisites which make the man
~ man, who cannot see why you
can commend a good feature, princi-
pie or resolution in party without
renouneins allegiance or fealty to
your own. We do not think the re-
publican party is perfect. We

party is now and always has been
