LONDON. Dec. 5.-The arrangements for

Several weeks ago Professor Tyndall

and rheumatism. He rallied early last
week. and seemed to be mendng. There

tain legal points. A party presented an
application in which he stated that he was
the owner of mining property which he
desired to mine. The attorney of the
Anti-Debris Association controverted that
the applicant was not an owner. and
offered to present proof that the property
mad been sold to another party by the
United States Marshal. and that this party
held the deed. The attorney urged that
the commission was required by the act 10

permission only to proprietors. On the
other hand the applicant was in possess

MURDER ON THE SEAS
Bloody Story of the Mutiny on
the Nineroahiti.
Trial of the Fiends Who Seized a
Vessel in the South
Pacific.

LONDON. Dec. "a dispatch to the
Standard from Paris, referring to the trial
of the Pacific piracy case at Brest, gives
the following details of the mutiny on the
Nineroahiti: On the night the Ruriques
seized the schooner Joseph, Rnrioue took
the watch from o'clock till midnight. He
was joined by his brother, and the NUT
derous work was at once begun. The
native captain, cara. waslstretched upon
the derk asleep. and was shot and thrown
overheard. The report of the pistol and
the splash of the body of the captain as it
was thrown into the sea aroused the SUPER
cargo Gibson and the cook Mirey. Rori.
ques called to Gibson to come on deck. aud
lie was also shot and thrown overheard.
A little later Mirey was summoned to come
up and obeyed, trembling with fear, beg
ging for his life and promising the brothers
that be would keep the secret IL his life
was spared.
On the second day after the murder
Alexandra Rorique ordered Mirey to give
each of the i've Kanakas forming the crew
glass of rum. but only two of them
would touch the liquor and they died on
the same day. The remaining three fear
ing an attem pit a. poisoning refused to par
AXE of food for several days until at last
they became so terrified by the threats of
Roriques that they jumpad overheard and
were drowned.
On the arrival Of the vessel at Pobapi
the Rorique brothers ana Mirey, under
changed names, went to tavern for din
ner, where Mirey, during the temporary
absence of the murderers. begged the Inn
keeper TO conduct him to the Governor
Before this could be done the brothers re-
turned and ordered Mirey aboard the ves-
sci. He refused to obey and on their at
tempting to force him the gnard was called

LIMA. Dec. 5.-Tbe most conflicting
rumofs are afoat concerning the relations
existing just now between Ecuador and
this country. From authentic sources it
is learned that the case stands thus: Dis
orderly crowds of citizens recently at
tackled the Peruvian legation and con-
snlate in Quito and Guayaquil, respec-
riyely. and some ia alities among the
attaches resulted. The Ecuadorian Gov
ernment. fearing reprisals upon its le-

suls to remove the shields and arms of
their country from In front of all con-
sulales. and retired its ambassador tenn
porarily. at the same time protesting that
such action did not signify the breaking
of Of friendly relations with Peru. In
accordance with these instructions Senior
Salazar, Ecuadorian Minister to Peru,
went aboard the British gunboat Hya-
cinthe yesterday at Callao, and will sail
Tomorrow on the regular steamer for
Guayaquil. In the meantime the Ecua-
dorian Government has established In

messages to ana from Peru.
All citizens of Ecuador now in Peru have
been placed under German protection. The
delimiration of the frontier of Ecuador and
Peru will be submitted to arbitration.

OFF FOR HAWAII.
Speculations Concerning the Cutter
Corwin,

COrwin.
A story Is circulated as coming from a
member of the revenue cutter Corwin's
crew that the vessel was waiting for three
persons who were to arrive from the East
on the overland train Monday night. A
close watch was kept on the northern
wharves soon after the cutter cast off and
went out in the stream, but it is possible
that special agents of the State Depart
ment might have got off at Oakland, where
they could have been taken out to the ves-
sci in the latter's launch.
The sCorwin hauled OF from Green
street pier about midnight on Monday, but
did not start to sea until / :45 A. NJ yester-
day. A launch could have been waiting
at the foot of Broadway or Franklin
street, Oakland, and conveyed the Gov
ernm ent agents to the cutter in less than
an hour. 1t seems hardly possible that
the Corwin would have been sent to Homo
lulu with dispatches not intrusted to the
care of special envoy. ccommod tions
had undoubtedly been prepared for pas
senger or passengers on board the CorwiD,
as one of the starboard staterooms in the
amdship quarters of the craft had been
cleaned up and arranged as if to receive
company.
In speaking Of the cutters trip the off,
GERS Of the vessel were very particular to
evade answering questions regarding any
possible passengers. Captain Munger said
he could give no details of the vessels voy-

The Honolulu Commercial Advertiser of

the staten ent TO the public relative to his
instructions from Washington and his de-
termin alton to await further advices be-
fore attempting to execute his orders,
contained the following editorial: limited

the representative of any other power near
the Hawaiian Government to make such a
declaration there is no doubt that not only
this Government. but also the United
States would resent it in the most sner-
getic manner as an unlawful interference
with the internal affairs of this independ-
ent nation. We do not question the pro-
priety of Mr.. Willis declarations; we
simply point out that the Government OF
the United States holds itself charged
with a special duty in main tanning public
order and security in Hawaii to this extent
at least. America already exercises a
partial protectorate over this country"
The editorial further says: Ex-Minister
Stevens was merely performing and obey
ing standing order of the State Depart
ment issued by Secretary Bayard to the
American Minister in Houolulu, and
caused to be given to naval forces there
whenever necessary for the maintenance
Of public order. Stevens has been abused
by the present American administration

orders. If Minister Stevens is to be

then much more is Minister Willis to be

turbers Of the peace, which Stevens never

How the Latest London Dynamite
Scare Exploded.


LONDON. Dec. 5.-In connection with the
arrest of a man al Hampstead yesterday,
the police searched the rooms of a man
named Snyder, just arrived from the
United States. He saw them coming and
decamped. They found in his rooms a tin
can containing twenty-four pounds of
dynamite in cakes. Before opening 1t was
immersed in a cisterD, where it fizzled and
foamed over the sides Of tho receptacle. 1t
was then dispatched to the Government
explosive laboratory. There it was ascer-
tained that it contained fuses aud all the
apparatus necessary for an EXPLOSION, and
that 1t would have had terribly destruc-
tive effect. The police expected to make
a large numb of arrests In connection
with the affair, as they believed they had
discovered genuine dynamite plot.
The following explanation Of the dyna-
mite scare. however, is given tonight, and
thus pretty sensation is spoiled. The
man Snyder, In whose apartments in
Hampstead the explosive was found, is

Projectile Company, with Offices in Chan
