THE KING OF L0MB0K,
HE Is IN REVOLT AGAINST THE
DUTCH
Valuable Revenue-Six Thousand Troops
Sent From Batavia to QueIl
the Uprising.

Mr.. i. T. Timmins, young English
man who lately arrived in San Fran
cisco from Batavia, gives the following
account of the revolt of the King of
Lombok against the Dutch. Mr.. TIM
Minis says:
1.-The hostilities, up to the time of our
departure from Batavia a month ago,
were confined to the island of Lombok.
The natives have become restless under
the Government of the Dutch, and the
King of Lombok, who is permitted to
rule the island subject to the restric-
tions placed upon him by the Dutch
authorities, planned revolt in which
the sympathies of all his native subjects
were enlisted. 1t was understood that
the natives were well supplied with
arms and ammunition, and when we
left every one was looking forward to
serious trouble.
1.-The authorities were preparing to
mass all their troops in Lombok, and as
nearly every vessel in those waters was
enlisted in the service of transporting
them, trade was completely paralized.
We saw 5000 troops sent from Batavia
to the scene of the uprising. They
were cheered when the vessel started
for the sympathies of the people seemed
to be with the Dutch Government and
against the natives. Owing to the out
break and the enlistment of all vessels
in the transportation of troops, COM
munication between Batavia and the
outside world was almost completely
shut off, and many tourists We're com
pletely shut off, and many tourists
were compelled to remain there longer
than they anticipated. We were en-
abled to get to Singapore by the
French mail steamer, which was the
only line not affected by the insurrec-
ton.
| "The islands are very valuable to the
| Dutch on account of their rich tin mines
aud if they revolted the Dutch would
lose a valuable source of revenue. Every
effort is accordingly being made to sup
press the belligerants. have not heard
anything from the seat of war I'll ce

NO NEED OF A VESSEL.


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7-Rear-Ad-
miral Beardslee, who has recently sue
ceeded to command of the Pacific sta.
ton, expects to remain in California
for two months until his flagship, the
Philadelphia is again ready for sea.
"The repairs on the Philadelphia will
take fully two months" he said. Con-
corning the possible need of a cruisers
presence ut Honolulu during the APP
preaching election, he said, the com
mander of the Charleston, which has
probably arrived at Honolulu by this
time. can use his own discretion as to
whether he had better remain there OF
proceed to Yokohama. Without
speaking officially" he continued, 'it
may be the policy of the Government
to deem the presence of war vessel
at Honolulu an indication that it is n
necessity. If it is not necessity there
could be no reason why it should be
there.
| should say that if the Government
Of Hawaii is ever to have any standing
with the nations of the earth it is time
for it to be permitted to establish that
standing without outside assistance.
There is no reason why the Hawaiian
Islands should be visited by the vessels
of the squadron in preference to other
important points, such as Peru, where a
revolution is impending. There are now
no vessels on the Central or South
American coasts, though the unsettled
state OF affairs in several localities would
seem TO suggest that it might be advis-
able to have a cruiser there to protect
American interests. 1t is very doubt
full if Hawaii will be given the attention
that it received during the past year, as
the prospective harmonious conditions
there do not demand it. There are,
however, no orders out as yet, and
have not the slightest idea where | shall
be ordered when the Philadelphia is
ready for sea-"

the West side.
The Lurlin. with Francis Leo c., Is
due at Hilo to-day.
The Oceanic will be due from the
coast next Tuesday.
The next mails for the coast will be
the Arawa, October 3D. for Vancouver
and the Peking, October 9th, for San
Francisco.
The Hawaii will leave for Molokai al

An exhibition of novel craft was
given in the Government slip off the
Battery, New York City, September
18th. 1t was the model of a fin.
propelled boat, designed by Frank Taft,
of White Stone, l.. l., who proposes to
submit it to the naval authorities. The
model is 5 feet 3 inches in length,
inches beam and draft of inches. She
is fitted with small vertical engine of
/ R-inch bore and 4-inch stroke, worked
by steam, with gasoline for fuel. There
are two fishtail.shapcd fins, on either
side of the hull just abaft the amidship
section, few inches apart and midway
between the water line and the keel.
The thick or head ends of the fins
B in e
shafts, the ends extending aft.
/ There are two thrust shafts extending
across the hull, each shaft having a fin
at either end. The shafts have thrust
OF | a inch, therefore being within the
crank measurement. The shafts work
alternately couuterbalancing each other
and keeping the boat steady. The fins
in the model are Of brass, though other
material might be used in larger craft.
The main surface of the fin, which is
called the web, is thinned towards the
ge and strengthened by ribs OF pliable
metal graduated to divide the strain.
The thrust OF the shafts drive the fins in
and out from The side OF the vessel and
thus forces it ahead. Alb ut two min
utes after the gasoline lamp was put
under the boiler twenty pounds of
steam was generated. The model was
launched and it glided out towards
mid stream followed by row boat
which subsequently picked it up. Engi-
neers of river crafts who witnessed the
work of the fins were greatly amazed
and equally pleased with the perform
ance The fins can, of course, be
worked by any kind of power. The
whole merit of the scheme, the in
ventor claims, is in the thrust arrange
ment, which secures the true fish
movement, while all fin experiments
heretofore have been based on false
analysis of the fish movement.
