American Traders on the Gilbert Islands
Subjected to Many Insults.

SAN Francisco. Oct. 1Z.-News from
Butaritari, the chief city of the Gilbert
islands, gives a gloomy outlook for Amerl-
con traders on the islands unless the United
States does something to protect their
rights. Since tho British flag was hoisted
in July the Americans have been subjected
to many insults and the native chiefs have
been plainly told not to pay any attention
to the orders of United States Consul Rick,
who. heretofore, had settled all disputes
aud been the real power on the islands.

says Captain Lewis flew into a
rage when he read in the late files
of the San Francisco papers of the
attention paid to the King on his recent
visit to California. He cursed the King
and the Americans, saying the latter had
turned the Kings head with their nom
sense, and that he would soon put an end
to il. Then he hauled up Captain kustei.

San Francisco. on the com plant or a native
who bears q very unsavory reputation. The
native claimed that he deserted from kus-
tells schooner. where he claimed he was
abused. Lewis refused 10 listen To any
testimony which kustel wished TO pro-
duce. The facts were that the native was
hired to 20 with, the schooner, and when
he got his advance money deserted. kus-
tel chased HIM. The native pulled n pistol
on him. For this the native was awarded
$40 damages by the British commander.

punished the child. She was an in
tensely talkative child. She would
enlarge on things and was not strictly
truthful. When things were found
she invariably claimed them as hers.
She had told her father that she was
untruthful. The witness was in the
habit of counting the strokes. The
class was very hard to manage.

used and he believed teachers should
use the old fashioned method. He
thought the manner of the child had
deceived the teacher. The class was
enough to make teacher wild. Al
