An Inexhaustibie supply of Silver and
Zinc Accid emily Struck by Prospectors.
BRAZIL, Ind. Feb. 11.-For the past
month experts of Chicago and Cincinnati
have been in the county looking over
some hilly land south of the city which
sometime ago was viewed by men who
claimed to find small quantities Of silver
ore. The affair was abandoned until re-
Gently when the present experts began
digging in the soil in search Of the pre-
cious metal.
They were also about to give up the
search when to their surprise they struck
an immense vein Of silver and zinc ore
yesterday morning. They claim the indi
cations are favorable for an almost mex
haustible product Of as rich ore as is
found in Colorado.
The city is greatly stirred up over the
affair and Mr.. Carpenter who owns the
land where the mine was found has been
offered big price for his ground by the
prospectors. A portion Of the ore has
been sent to Chicago for examination.

WANT INDEPEND DENCE.
Hawaiian Natives Do Not
Want to Become Americans.
A PROTBCToRATE MORE POPULAR

The Natives of Hawaii Appeal to the
United states for Redress and ASK That
Their Desires BE Listened to Before
Those of Foreigners Want the Queen
Restored.
SAN Francisco. Feb. 11.-Evidence
gathered from arrivals by the steamer
Australia and private letters is accumu-
lating TO show that a majority Of the
Hawaiian natives favor the Queen and
that large part Of the foreign popula-
tion prefers an American proteetorate
with limited monarchy to annexation.
This reaction against the first en-
thusiasm for annexation is said to be
strong and Paul Newman, the
Queens envoy to Washington has
a mass of affidavits from white
people of reputation and property de
claring that they favor restoring the
Queen to power under an American pro
tectorate.
An appeal signed by many native
Hawaiians is now ON its way to Wash
ington to the President. Here is an ex-
tract from IT, 1--WE appeal to you for
redress. We do not desire annexation.
We are contented to live poor
but independent Foreigners have
come among us. They have
planted large fields of cane and
have built great mills they also flooded
our peaceful island with debased coolies
of the Orient. As a result the dreadful
scourge Of leprosy is upon US aud Its
roots are in every village. We do not
object to foreigners but it is not just for
them to try to take away our country.
NJ. Stacker, professor at the Iowa State
College Of Agriculture, has been few
months in Hawaii and was in Honolulu
during the recent troubles He said
"The majority of the population are op.
posed TO annexation by the United
States. They will be in favor of the
Queen being res eated with possibly q
prOtectorate.
Berkley G. Dickson, tourist from
London who has been in Honolulu since
December, arrived by the Australia He
declared frankly that he did not cart
who got the islands, but he gave an in
teresting glimpse of the Queens per
plexity and showed that she relied OF
the British minister for guidance in he
dilemma.
He said: "After the revolutionists ha
} taken possession, backed up by tn
United States minister and the CON
r mander of the Boston, Queen Liliuok1
3 lani went to the British minister 70

Opera House-''The Lost Paradise"
H. p. De Miles "The Lost Paradise,
under the direction Of Charles Frohman,
was presented here for the first time last
nj ght at the Grand Opera House before
large and appreciative audience. "Ihe
Lost Paradise is one of the most realistic
pictures of the struggle between labor
and capital in which labor ultimately
triumphs. "ReubenW Warner. 'superintend-
ent of the Knowlton works, was an ad-
mirable specimen of a self-made man, q
genius, whose inventions enabled Andrew
Knowlton," the capitalist, to build up
wealth, for which Warner was unre-
warded until strike took place
in the works, which, when ended,
gave Warner an opportunity tC
assert his rights and to win the love OF
the capitalists daughter who had for
merly snubbed him. The character o
Reuben Warner was given a careful anC
artistic Interpretation by Forrest Robin
son. Charles w. Stoke, as ANDREW
Knowlton;" Frank Dayton. as "Ralpt
Standisn," Knowlton's partner and War
ner's rival: Merrican Bruce as bob Ap-
pleton, hail fellow, Warmers aristo
cratic friend and Misses Laura Linden,
as MRS. Knowlton;" Esther Lyon, a.

"a Mad Bargain.v

In "a Mad Bargain, which comes to
the Grand Opera House Monday night, it
is said that James II. Powers is playing
the best part Of his,ife. 1t was especi
ally written for him, and he displays in
it a vein of comedy superior to any he
has yet shown. An excellent company
give him good support. Peter T. Daily
is still in the principal comedy support.
In "a Mad Bargain" he has a part
which permits of every opportunity TO
exercise his genius. Another member Of
"a Straight Tip" Company retain ed in
the cast is Miss Della Stacey,
Rachel Booth, a winsoine tai
ented young woman, is the soubrette
of the company. Other well-known
artists in prominent roles are Rose Cook,
Charles P. Morrison, Frank M. Kendrick,
Lillian Chantore and w. w. Allen. One
Of the happiest hits Of the entire per
formance is the burlesque reproduction
Of life in a modern apartment house,
where the special scenery shows the lin
tied accommodations, such as the major
ity Of New Workers now content them
selves with, viz, parlor sitting-room,
bath room, bed room, dining-room and
kitchen, all in a space not large enough
TO swing a good sized cat in. Apart
from the performance itself and the gen
eral work Of the company is the clever
dancing of Miss LeonG Forrest.

The deceased had been conspicuous in

eight years. His first employment in the
profession was play reader for the Madi-
son Square Theatre under the Mallory
management. While engaged in that
work he developed a high standard Of

national with the immense success Of
his cup and saucer play, THE Wife p"
After this he wrote Lord Chumley" and
'The Charity Ball "
At the time of his death Mr.. De Mile
was writing another play, which he ex-
pected to be better than any he had yet
produced. The news of the talented
authors death greatly shocked Mr..
Frohman and his manager, Mr.. Bunce,
of the Lyceum. The latter said that Mr..
De Mile had made rapid strides toward
first place in the list Of American play

ON THE VERGE OF WAR.
CENTRAL AMERICAN REPUBLICS

Honduras, Salvador and Nicaragua
Under Martial LAVA Triple Desire
for War Prevented by Depleted
Treasures.
SAN Francisco. Feb. 11.-Daniel
Sweeny an American merchant who re.
turned yesterday on the steamer City
Of Panama from three months trip
through Central America, reports that
Honduras. Nicaragua and Salvador
are all under martial law and that it
is dangerous for a stranger to travel
there, even when provided with a pass
issued by the military authorities. ANY.
one caught without pass aud unknown
to the officials is thrown into prison.
Mr.. Sweeny says that the main cause
Of the strained relati ons between these
republics is the fact that Nicaragua
had established a harbor OF refuge for
political exiles from Honduras while
Salvador had a feud with Nicaragua for
permitting Honduras tobacco to be
smuggled across Nicaraguan territory
into Salvador.
President LAYERS Of Honduras is hav-
ing hard time to maintain himself.
General Vasquez. commander of the
army is at the Honduras capital
LAYERS is now in hiding and a change in
government will probably result soon.
Many of LAYERS friends fed to Mica
Iagua and the latter refused to yield hin
up to them. 1t is only the poverty Of
Honduras which prevents it from declar
ing war on Nicaragua. Salvador is
equally angry but it is poor and is also
fearful Guatemala weuld Invade it the

LONDON, Feb 1.-THE Allan line
steamer Pomeranian, from Glasgow,
January 81, via Moville, for New York,
has returned to Greenock, after losing a
number of her crew and passengers in
heavy storm.
The Pomeranian was about I, ,15O mil es
westward frsm Glasgow, when she en-
countered weather Of unusual severity.
The gales had increased with great sud
denness, until heavy sea Unexpectedly
swept over the deck, carrying everything
before it like an avalanche. The deck
saloon, the chart house, the bridge and
the boats were smashed and swept away
by the tremendous force of the waves,
and when the sea had passed over the
decks were scene of ruin, and shrieks

the dismantled steamer
Death Came Suddenly.
Captain Dalziel had been on the bridge
when the avalanche struck the vessel
He was swept from his post and dashed
against the bulwarks, where he, lay
stunned and helpless The mates, John
Cook and John Hamilton, who were on
the bridge with the captain were swept
out to sea and drowned. Besides the
first and second officers named two
quartermasters, two stewards, four first
cabin passengers and one second cabin
passenger perished by drowning.
For a moment after the catastrophe
the survivors were too stunned to act.
With the captain disabled and the first
and second officers drowned, there was
no one for the moment to give orders
from whom orders were expected.
Every one looked around to see who was
in command. Then the third officer
quickly brought the crew to their senses
and took prompt action to save the
steamer and it's human freight from
further calamity.
Those who Were Lost.
James and Lillian Gibson, of Dalkeith
Jane Caffrey, of Londonderry, and John
Sturat of Glasgow, were the first cabin
passengers lost They were in the deck
saloon at the time Of the disaster auc

They were never seen again, but sur
vivors say a despairing cry pierced th'

waters. Peter Forbes, of Dundee, was
the second cabin passenger missing anC
the stewards were James Pritchard an'
Fred Of Westbury. The stewards wer
engaged at the time in their usual duties
when borne of their feet and swept int
the sea. Two seamen named Peter Nc
Lean and William Urquhart, who were
on duty at the time also perished.
All the instruments for navigation
had been swept away except the after
compass by which the steamer had to b
navigated. Captain Dalziel was born
below. His injuries were fatal, and b
died on the following morning Th
crew cleared away the wreckage and tn
