THE ISLAND REPUBLIC.
A Letter from an American Serving
Among Dole's Soldiers.

Port Townsend. WASH, December a.
Patrick Button, well known local resi-
dent now regularly enlisted soldier and
sergeant in Presid ent Dole's little army,
having gone from Port Townsend to the
Sandwich islands about four months
ago, declares in letter to friend here
that there will never again be a mon
archy on the islands. Button says that
regular constitutional republic. will
soon be proclaimed with a general cleo
tion participated in only by those paying
taxes upon at least 50, 500 worth OF
property. This will throw the govern
ment entirely into the hands of Ameri-
cans by large majority. Buttons letter
states that of the provisional army Of
nearly 1900 men, at least five-eighths are
Americans by birth. They will not bear
arms against the authority of the United
States except in selfsdefense. An attack,
no matter from what source, will be re-
PEELED.

FOR MRS. MAVERICK.
The Effort to Reopen the Case Described
by an American Attorney,

New York, December 23.-Ex-District
AutorneyssA. H. H. Dawson, who has been
the confidential adviser of the Baroness
Won Roques, mother of Mrs. Florence
Maybrick, convicted of poisoning her
husband, and whose case has been re-
ported reopened, was an intimate friend
of her two former husbands, and is try
a fair trial. He says: II am not
authorized to state precisely what steps
have been taken for a new trial, but
from my knowledge of the proceedings
and of the redress now left open to the
convicted woman under the laws of
England, assume that the matter on
the tapis now is petition to the House
of Lords for the purpose of attre citing
attention TO the merits of the case.
Having decided, as they unanimously
did, that there is no court in England
through which she can obtain a new
trial. presumptively the new movement
is an appeal to Parliament. I under
stand that there is jurisdiction in that
body ON such petition after the resources
of the lower courts have been exhausted.
II hear that there have been new and
startling discoveries made of evidence
that was suppressed during Mrs. May
bricks trial. Had she had the benefit of
this she must have been acquitted. l re-
fer to the discovery of the persons who
bought and sold the arsenic found the
morning following James Maybrick's
DEATH This report-I cannot say whence
it comes to me--is in harmony with the
fact that the crown did employ. detectives
to discover who was connected with the
poison, and thatsthe detectives were sud
denly discharged, and that the crown
submitted not -one word of evidence
along that line.
Had they discovered that Mrs, Nav
brick or any friend, agent or representa-
tive procured the stuff we should have
heard all about it. But if it was found
that any one of the notorious cohspira-
tors who were concerned in hunting for
and finding that arsenic was implicated
the crowns counsel could not afford to
allow the fact to become public, for. the
prosecution could not then have pro-
ceeded further.
"These conspirators referred to are

of the dead man Alice Yapp. the nurse

that she has been the victim Of the

DISPATCHES FROM BRAZIL.
Their Reception by Minister Mendonca
Shows that RioiHas Not Been Taken

Washington, December 23.-Minister
Mendonca found several communications
from the Brazilian government awaiting
him at the legation when he returned to
Washington today from New York.
They were not of special Importance,
however, so he informed a reporter, but
satisfactory in that they denied by their
own existance the report of the capture
of Rio by the insurgent forces and the
subsequent resignation of President
Peixoto. Mr. Mendonca declined to
make answer to any question about the
report that he is negotiating for addi-
tional forces to reinforce the fleet now
assembling in Brazilian waters to engage
vessels under Mello and DeGama.
The following cable message dated at
Rio last night was received at the State
Department this morning from Mr..
Townes, United States consul general:
sThe American masters of merchant
vessels hold specific permits from the
Brazilian government to land cargoes
Protection from shore fire is promised
by the government. Instruct Capt. Pick
ing Commanding United States naval
forces in Rio) to anchor off the point for
defense OF the merchant men until the
question of protection is equitably set
tied. Insurgents make their line of fire
anywhere to suit their purpose. thereby
indefinitely blocking neutral commerce
without previous notice
To intelligently understand what Mr..
Townes tells, it is necessary to know
that recently President Peixoto directed
all merchantmen to move from their reg
ular anchorage off the Custom House
wharf to point further removed from
the line of fire. This proved to be a
foolish move on Peixoto's part as it gave
the insurgents a clear way for firing
from Las Cobras and Euchades islands,
and their other fortified possessions into
the custom house and government arse
nal. The new position Of the merchant
men prevented them from landing their
cargoes with safety. and now Peixoto
has given them permission to land their
cargoes, promising that the government
forces will suspend firing while this is
being done, and Mr.. Townes wants the
government at Washington to direct
Capt. Picking to place the United States
vessels in such position as will put
them between the insurgent fire and the
lighters used in landing.

qurrel, and occurred about l2.45 p. m.

sink room. and afterwards continued
the quarrel in the dining room, where
the victim met her death. Mrs. Wilton
conducted a boarding house and was en-
gagged in preparing dinner for the
boarders. She wanted her husband to
cut some meat, and he refused. He fol-
lowed her into the dining room from the
sink room. During the trouble, Mrs.
Wilton was seen to defend herself with
teapot. Shortly afterwards, Wilton left
the house telling the boarders that he
was not coming back. Hugh Sorogan,
found the lifeless body of Mrs. Wilton.
Going to the foot of the court on which
the Wilton home is located, he met S.
ID. Stevens, son of the Congressman, in
carriage, and told him he thought that
Mrs. Wilton was murdered. Mr.. Stevens,
knowing that the couple often had
quarrels, caused by drink, did not con-
slider the matter as serious, but he drove
after Wilton, whom he had seen, short
distance back. OvertaKing Wilton, Mr..
Stevens took him into his carriage and
drove to the station house, where Officer
Toohey brought the information that
Mrs. Wilton was dead. Wilton was locked
up. Medical Examiner Howe found
bruise and blood on the left ear. The
autopsy will be held at 45 tomorrow.
John Wilton was born in Prestbry,
Cheshire, England, May 1, 1s42, and
arrived in this country on May ID, 1872.
The next day he went to work in the
Stevens mill. He was a mem ber of the
Manchester, England, police force at the
time of the Allen-Larkin-O'B D Brien affair.
Ordinarily he was a kind man, but when
drunk engaged in family quarrels. He
has brother in North Andover and one
in Boston. His victim was born in
Yorkshire, England. 46 years ago, and
married in England. They had no
children, but had adopted daughter.

STARVING MEN IN A PALACE.
W. T. Stead Tells Chicagoans Some Things
About Chicago.

Chicago, December 23.-The Sunset
Club dinner afforded W. T. Stead an
opportunity to lift the mask and allow
Chicago glance at the vice and penury
of the city.
1.-THE civilization of the city," he said,
reminds one of the wizened features of
an old man upon the head of child.
You are gigantic in your virtues and gil
gantic in your vices-and I don't know
in which you glory the most.
II know of no foreign city so ill
equipped to meet the great problem as
you are. Your poor sleep in the police
stations with your criminals, and the
palace in which your city officials trans
act their business is also the shelter for a
horde of starving men. [Insistent cries
of mo, no." which were finally silenced
by the chairman.
s'There are 100000 UNEMPLOYED men
in your city. They are losing $500, 900
every day. There are 100000 employed
persons in your city. Do you mean to
say that the million cannot care for the
900, employ them, give them work,
as you would if they were your broth
ers?
"You have allowed pauper class to
grow up without the ordinary appliances
of civilization. There should be easily
accessible lavatories throughout the city;
your back streets should be cleaned.
Leave them as they are, and you will
have no trouble in keeping down the
surplus of population. There should be
public laundries and baths. The only
placeswhere. poor man can washs his
face now Is in a saloon"
Mr.. Stead declared that hungry men
would commit crime, for it was natural
for them to do SO, and he. hoped that
Chicago would be spared the torch and
the assassin's bullet. for such acts would
destroy its credit and proud standing in
the commerce of the world.
He closed with these words: ''If we
in this room were compelled to turn out
tonight and walk the streets for one
week in the garments of the unem-
ployed, feeding as they feed, living as
they live, hungering as they hunger, you
would raise all the money wanted to en-
ploy them before New Years day.

tanning the Haverhill Footlight club of
twentyfour young people, on their way
from this city to Kingston, N. H., had a
narrow escape from terrible disaster at
the Boston and Maine crossing at East
Kingston this evening. The barge, drawn
by four horses, came down a hill at a
rapid gait and the leaders were just upon
the crossing when the train from this
city came along. The driver of the
barge, with great presence of mind.
swung the horses to the right and
caused them to run distance parallel to
the train until the barge capsfzed. No
one was hurt.
