The Troublesome Little Piece of Earth
Again Heard Prom The Provisional
Government VIII Stand for Its Rights
SAN FRAScIsCo. Dec. 9.-The schoon-
er Transit has arrived from Hawaii
During the afternoon the Alameda
sailed Minister Willis made statement,
virtually as already published, that
nothing definite would be done thero
until he had received reply to dis
matches sent to Washington by the Al
ameda. This statement was published
in the Honolulu Star. Recently the
Bulletin published letter from Min
ister Willis in which he said he
wished his remarks in the Star to
apply to the entire press of Honolulu
The stand taken by Minister Willis in
his interview with the Star, which was
revised in proof by him before pubiica-
ton. caused considerable comment and
caused anxiety in government circles,
indicating that any breach of the peace
would be punished by the American
minister. His words were:
ANY trouble precipitated on the
other side would have been stopped at
once by the United States forces
On the morning of the nth. the day
after the Alameda left, President Dole
called upon Minister Willis to learn
how far The authority of the United
States was expected to be carried in
case of an emergency. Upon his return
it was learned that the provisional goS-
erument was fully satisfied with the
explanation and limitations made by
Minister Willis. 1t is the general opin-
ion that the original language used by
the United States minister conveyed
more than he intended it should 1t is
understood that President Dole very
clearly informed Minister Willis
that the provisional government
commanded the situation and would
require no aid from the United States

be speedily dealt with by the Hawaiiar
government The provisional govern

TRAITOR ABOARD.
One of the New Brazilian Warships Bad
Injured.


NEW YORK. Dec. S.-The Herald has
the following: The Brazilian cruiser
America, which sailed from New York
for Rio on the night of November 90
for the purpose of fighting the rebel
admiral Mello's warships, is lying at
Bridgetown. Barbados, SO seriously
disabled by the act of an unknown
traitor among her crew that she will
probably be unable to continue her
voyage for several weeks.
A cable message was received by
Flint & Co from the West Indies an
nouncing that one of the vessels valves,
among one of the most Vulnerable
points of ships machinery, had been
purposely broken by some unknown
member OF the crew and that the YES
sci had thereby been SO seriously in
jured that long delay must occur be-
fore she could continue her voyage.
In view of the latter fact it vas an
nounced in the cablegram that the
cruiser Nictherov. which left St. Thorn
as for Rio Janeiro last Sunday night,
had continued the voyage alone The
traitor, it Is said, did his work last
Monday.
The indications are said topoint most
strongly to the traitor being in the
engineers division. as person who
does not understand machinery would
not know which particular part to at
tack to produce the results obtained in
this instance.
The Herald's special dispatch from
Montevideo says: A correspondent In
Rio Janeiro sends word that the rebel
warships Aquida and Republica are
both anchored at llha Grande, the
quarantine station, not far from Rio
Janeiro. The former. which is Mello's
flagship, is undergoing repairs for in
iuries suffered while running the
gauntlet of the loyal forts at the en-
trance of Rio harbor the other day.

The robbery was committed in broad

were on the street, and the robbers
succeeded in getting away with their
booty without leaving the slightest
clew.
Cashier Myron Campbell remained at
the bank, which is in the heart Of the
city. until all employees were gone He

door of the big vault and left every
thing in the usual shape at the noon

TARIFF BILL NOTES.
The Idea Is TO Have IL q Law Early
March.

The Idea Is TO Have IL = Law Early In
March.
WASHINGTON. Dec. S.-The tariff bill,
from present appearances will be re-
ported to the house on the 18th inst.
The purpose of the democrats is to
press consideration of the measure as
rapidly as possible. General debate
will begin December Is This will
give five DAYS for consideration before
the holiday recess
Some of the democrats think the bill!
ought to pass the house after three
weeks debate. If this programme be
followed the bill will go the senate not
later than January 20.
The democrats telieve that the bust
ness interests of the country demand a
speedy settlement of the tariff ques-
ton. They believe that many industries
that are now idle will resume work
early in the spring if the bill passes
both houses of congress and reaches
the president early in March. There
is no disposition on their part. they say,
to gag the minority or to restrict de-
bate. If the republicans insist upon
longer time being given to them, their
wishes will no doubt prevail within
reasonable limits.

The Conveying of the Narragansett Lands
to the state.
1t is twelve wears since the Nara
gansett Indians abandoned their tribal
form of government, dissolved their
council of five, sold their reservation
and became citizens of the state OF
Rhode Island. The state took their
church and their school-house. for be-
fore that none but Indians could enter
the church. and none but Indian chill
dren were taught at the school build
ing. But the tribe could not support the
poor and the various institutions, and
under the advice of the old men, the
Indians dissolved their government
The state paid five thousand dollars to
the tribe tor the reservation lands. and
this was divided among the members.
The Indians. for that amount, sold more
than they were aware of, or at least so
they claim. There is nothing new in this
portion of the story. 1t is the old claim
of the red man that he was tricked by
his white brother. Old Joshua Noka,
member of the Narragansett council,
says the tribe did not agree to sell the
ponds. But the state has them, ac-
cording to the deed.
Still the Indians in this instance
were used generously. Long ago the
sachems of the triCe had set off to the
various chiefs lots of land for dwelling

/ by the state, and many of the Indians
( have since sold tn .ir land. The word
