Valuable Assistance Rendered I
English in Matabeleland.


English in Matabeleland.
The big game hunter Coryndop has
just returned to London from Matabele-
land and gives a stirring description of
Capt. Wilson's fatal pursuit of Lobengula.
He spoke very highly of the great assist
ance given Capt. Wilson by two Americans
of the name of Birnam and Ingram, who
accompanied Wilson and did daring scout
ing during the campaign. He said: when
Capt. Wilson'S party was first attacked by
Lobengula he sent the Americans back to
Major Forbes, who was stationed on the
Shanghai river. to get reinforcements After
a most periious trip under fire, the Ameri-
cans reached the Shanghai, which they
found to be rapidly rising, and they had
great difficulty in swimming the rushing
stream. During their ride they heard con-
tinuous firing behind them. The arrival of
the Americans with the tidings of Capt
Wilson's peril created great excitement
among Major Forbes force, which imme-
diately started TO his aid. But they were
soon attacked and were forced to retreat
on the following night the position of Mai

wayo for achievements. The Americans
after stealing through the enemy's lines
rode almost continually at ali times in the
greatest peril for three days and nights
until they reached Buluwayo. They were
almost dead from fatigue when they reach
ed there. but We're able to tell their story
after a short rest. They were overwhelmed
with attentions by the force at Buluwayo
and Immediately arrangements were made
to send a relief column to the assistance
of Major Forbes. The Americans accom-
panied them back and when they reached
the Forbes party they found them in a de-
plorable condition. They had lost 40 horses
had run out Of provisions and were SUBJ
sisting on horsetesh. Their clothes were

REFUSED TO CELEBRATE.
Minister Willis Didn't Mix In the III;
waiian -JOllificatiOn.


The brig W. G. Irwin arrived at San
Francisco from Honolulu last evening.
bringing advices to January Il. five days
later than last advices received by the
steamer Monowai, January 10. Under date
OF January IL, the correspondent at Hon.
olulu writes:
Yesterday afternoon notice was sent to the
United States minister by the provisional
government that the 18th OF January was
the national holiday. and asking him if he
would honor it with his presence and by
salutes from the United States warships in
port. This letter of invitation included two
others addressed to the captains of the
United States steamships Philadelphia and
Adams. asking them to join in the celebra-
ton. AT p. IN. yesterday a reply was re-
ceised which surprised the government. The
officially given as follows:
Il have received your notice of yesterday,
and am obliged to say that the United
States finds it impossible to be present 20
participate in the celebration of national
independence. as proposed by the provision
al government of Hawaii 1. therefore. de-
cline to take part in such celebration on
the part of the United States of America
The celebration was continued throughout
the entire day, and at mass meeting held
at night at Union Square formerly Palace
Square) number of prominent speakers
delivered addresses Chief among these was
speech by Walter G. Smith. leader of the
American League and party in Hawaii.
He called attention to the fact that on the
18th of January. 1I.S. the French people be-
headed despOtic king. A hundred years
from that date, in Hawaii the last indie
pendent sovereign in the western hemis-
phere lost her throne The 18th of January
has. therefore. gained the right to be known
as one of the worlds democratic holidays.
Mr.. Smith argued that the idea of annexa-
ton should not be given up. but every emer-
gency should be used toward that end. He
advocated government on the American
plan until such time as Hawaii is taken into
the Union.

IN NEED OF REFORMATIOy.
A Nine-Year-Old Boy Who Caused An.
Others Death.

"A NINE. 4 ear-OIu BOY W no Caused An.
Others Death.
Jesse Warren, the boy who was sent ten ,ed
to go to the reform school by Judge Rob-
ert s. Hudspeth of Hudson county, ". J..
has been released from Jail on $500 bail
Jesse is nine years old. He was convict
ed of having caused the death of Leslie
Parker, six years. by hitting him with a
stone.
In answer to press censure of the scn-
tence, Judge Hudspeth has given out a
statement He says he investigated and
found that Jesse Warren had evidenced
extreme viciousress, a disposition toward
criminal acts and that he knew the differ
ence between right and wrong The facts
were obtained from disinterested respected
witnesses. The boy deliberately tried to
assault a baby eighteen months old and
was caught with it in a vacant lot. The
infant the judge referred to is a sister of
Leslie Parker. The judge mentioned other
alleged vicious acts of Jesse Warren. and
said the reform school lis not simply for
the unwashed and the illiterate and uncuI-
tivated, some poor little gamn who NAV
steal or commit an assault. 1t is for ali
irrespective of position in society, and the
court, in passing sentence, did not consider
the condition of the child, whether its par
ents are rich or poor. 1t considered simply
the mental condition, the intelligence the
viciousness. the incorrigibility of the child
and punished it accordingly"

ADMIRAL DA CANA PROTESTS.
He Declares That the Foreign Conn
manders Have Not Treated Him Fairly

ne Deciores That the Foreign Com.
manders Have Not Treated Him Fairly
A Rio Janeiro dispatch, dated February i,
copyrighted by the Associated Press, says.
The following is the letter which Adj
miral Da Cana sent yesterday to the con-
ference Of the naval commanders of the
various nations represented here TO discuss
the action of Admiral Benham in project
ing American vessels who wished to go to
part Of the insurgents:
AT the beginning Of the revolution the
city of Rio Janeiro was defended by six
held pieces, and was at the mercy Of the
squadron in the harbor. The chiefs of the
foreign naval fleets, in a collective ant.
unanimous note, declared that they would
oppose with force bombardmen-, unless
II was provoked from the land. On e..rn-
ing Of this President PeiXoto withdrew his
field pieces, and by stratege;n began the
work of refortifying the city with numer-
GUS and heavy guns. The work was begun
secretly and was completed Openly. All
the hills in the city were markell by FORTH
cations, and monasteries and factories were
converted into fortresses. trenches were
dug in the streets and Other methods were
taken to make the city secure. Along with
these measures II was reported that 1t was
the intention of the government soon ID
open fire upon the squadron
After making this statement. Admiral ID
the conditions the same? Are not you to
blame for the change? Should You not
force Peixoto to keep his compact? The
tasks of the squadron are more .,rluous,
bloody and dangerous, but We do not falser.
Our compact will be kept 20 the last, but
reserve the right to reply to the city bat
teries when they deserve II without notice.
The blame for the result will be upon you
Admiral Benham sent wori to Admiral
Da Cana that he would not interfere with
his military operat tons, and toll him tho
he would only object when he fired on
American ships for the purpose IF frightsn-
ing them from going to their wharvCs.
Admiral Benham says that no compact
exists between the commando of the for
eign fleets. They withdrew fr)m their
agreement for the protection Of the city
against bombardment by the insurgent yes
sells months ago.
The admiral says that he has asked mis-
government whether he shall insist upon
notice being given by the insurgents prev
ious to any attempt to bombar1 the city,
He thinks that Rio Janeiro Is fortified
he will not be justified in interfering with
any move of this sort on the part Of Ad-
miral Da Cana. 1t Is evident thac the
commanders of the other fleets are also
doubtful on this point, they have also
asked instructions from their governments.
Admiral Benham has warned the COM
manders of American ships N the harbor
that bombardment is possible. He has
told them what they shoull do, and ius
dictated to what extent he coull protect
them.
