A Roya]ist Story Of An Uprising to
Restore LiliuOkalani.

Britis h Marines and Be Followed by
Protectorate- Some Remarkable F'ic-
tion Via New South Wales.
Chicago March IA special to the
Tribune from Honolulu, March 5. says:
"a prominent supporter of the deposed
Queen says the royalists have lost hope
of her restoration by the powers at
Washington. He declares that the pro-
visional government will not be toler-'
atei one day after the final decision of
III Washington authorities reaches
Honolulu. The natives intend TO rise
and restore the old order. The leaders
of the proposed insurreotion are Ameri-
cans and English, while the natives and
Japanese population will follow at
moments notice. He further states that
the royalists have assurance of strong
moral aid from England and Japan. The
identical course mapped out by Mr..
Stevens and the co..; mittee of safety will
be pursued. The British and Japanese
marines will land, the provisional gov
the royalists are successful, Liliuokalani
will be restored. Martial law will be
declared and the mem bers of the pro-
visional government will be arrested for
treason. The British minister will de-
clare protectorate.

A WRONG REDREssED.
The Turkish Courts Have Finally Convict
ed NIissionary's Assailant.

New York, March 14.-Rev. DR.. John
Gillespie, corresponding secretary of the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions, received a letter today from Hon.
A. W. Terrell, United States Minister to
Turkey, containing the information that
a conviction has been secured in the cas-
es of the persons arrested for the attack
on Miss Anna Melton, an American mis-
sionary. Last summer Miss Melton, it
will be remembered, was assailed by a
band of Koords one night last June in
the little village of Daree, near Amadia,
in the Koordish Mountains, where she
was temporarily stopping. She barely
escaped with her life from the murder
Gus attack upon her.
Ever since the perpetration of the out
rage Minister Tirrell has been persistent
in demanding from the Turkish govern
ment redress for the wrongs committed
upon an American citizen. 1t was a long
time, however, before the officials there
made any serious effort at finding and
arresting the guilty ones, whose identity
was really well known, but they finally
apprehended eleven persons, and after a
delay of months have convicted them in
the courts. The court OF last resort will
inf1ict the penalty for the crime.

NC KANE's cRookEDNEss.
Two illustrations of the Way the Czar Ran
Things in Gravesend.

New York, March 1.-Two subjects
that will be presented to the court as
reasons why thorough investigation of
John Y. McKane's accounts should be
had are the building of the electric light
plant in Gravesend and the manner of
collecting liquor license taxes there. The
contract for building the electric light
plant was let to Henry Sturtevant. The
contract price was, it is alleged, S110, 900.
The records sh ow that McKane drew "a
requisition for 100000. alleging that the
sum was to be put out on building the
plant. What has become of this differ
ence, amounting to $780, the commit

LoNDON's LAST HOPE.
A Report that Da Gama's Flight Will Not
End the War

London, March 14.-The Exchange
Telegraph company has advices from
Brazil that Admiral Mello, with the war
ships Aouidaban and Republica, has
arrived at Santa Catherine. The same
advices say there is good authority for
the statement that the insurgents in the
harbor of Rio are totally defeated and
routed. Still, these despat cnes assert.
notwithstanding the defeat of the in
surgents and the singlorious fight of Da
CANA, it by no means follows that the
war is ended. The consensus OF opinion
in commercial circles in Rio Grande do
Sui and Santa Catherine, which have
London connections, is that those states
will declare and eventually achieve their
Independence with the assistance of
Admiral Mello, whose object in sailing
southwark undoubtedly was to take part
in such movement. Thus the centre of
the revolutionary movement will be re-
moved from Rio to Desterro. Other
advices explain the recent action of the
Brazilian government in suspend1ng the
Brazilian telegraphic service by the
statement that the government dis
covered that two foreign consuls at
Bahia had been supplying the insurgents
with information. The federal authorl-
ties will not now disclose the names of
the foreign consuls. 1t is asserted that
they will be deprived of their equateur.

Before the paragraph was finally agreed
to, Mr.. Dingley, Republican, OF Maine,
called attention to the discrimination
worked in favor of certain improvements
by this system of contracts. The river
and harbor bill of 1898 appropriated
S14. 100000 for II Improvements and the
sundry civil bill of 1894 appropriated
S., 100000 more for the same IL objects,
making $22, 900, 600 in two years. All the
other river and harbor Improvements re-
ceived appropriations once in every two
years. Because of the large approprla-
ton for these special contracts, appropri-
ations for other improvements must be
reduced.
On motion of Mr. Coombs, Democrat,
of New York, $3.50 of the appropriation
for national cemeteries was authorized
to be expended for marking the grave in

FICTION VIA SYDNEY.
the Japanese Captain Threatens to Blow
Up the Yankee Admiral

Up the Yankee Admiral
Sydney, MS. W, March 14.-Passen-
gers on the steamer Arawa, which has
just arrived here, tell an interesting
story of a recent event at Honolulu.
They assert that a subject of Japan was
offence and placed in Jail. He escaped
and SWAN out to the Japanese warship.
The authorities appealed to the Ameri-
can admiral, asking that he demand the
surrender of the prisoner. Ihe COM
mander of the Japanese warship refused
to give the man up ana threateaed that
if the American admiral boaroet5 his
ship he would give him half an hour to
leave, or if he refused the American
flagship would be blown out 9f the
water. Accordingsto the story OF the
passengers the escaped prisoner was un-
molested.
San Francisco, March IA despatch
from Sydney about the threatening of
the American rear admiral by the
captain of the Japanese man-of-war at
Honolulu is not credited here. The
steamer Arawa sailed from Honolulu for
Sydney before the Australia sailed for
San Francisco. None of the Honolulu
correspondence up to March 4, mentions
the Japanese episode. and it is not mem
toned in the files of Hawaiian papers re-
ceived here. Nearly year ago an Incl
dent somewhat similar to that related
by the Arawa's passengers occurred at
Honolulu. A japanese criminal escaped
and SWAN out to Japanese man-of-war
lying in the harhor. A demand was
made by the provisional government for
his surrender, and after some hesitation,
the Japanese commander gave up the
fugitive.

HOUSES AND BARNS SWEPT AWAY
BY THE WATER,

But the Messengers Were in Time and
Only Two Lives Were Lost-The Burst
ing of a Reservoir in Idaho-The
Country Under Water-Railroad Tracks
and Bridges Gone-The Property Loss
Is Heavy.
Boise, Idaho, March 14.-News was re-
ceived this evening that the dam at
India Creek reservation gave way this
noon. and the water swept down upon
the ranches and villages, carrying
destruction in it's path. This reservoir
WAS constructed of solid masonry at the
head of Indian creek. Messrs. Hyde and
jackson, New York capitalists, built it
and supplied water for orchards OF
pranes. which were just set out and
which were destroyed. The reservoir
covered 500 acrs and contained water
suffi cient to irrigate many thousand
acres. 1t cost $4,000. The country be-
tween Bysucka and Caldwell is all un-
der water. Every railroad bridge between
Nampa and Bysucka is washed out and
many miles of railroad track are sub
merged. When the dam broke messengers
were sent at break neck speed on horse
back to warn the settlers. The water
came sweeping down Indian creek, bear
ing houses, barns, farming and live
stock of all kinds. 1t submerged whole
farms on both sides of the creek. The
lower part of Nampa is under water five
to TIVE nty feet deep. Fifty houses are

two men were drowned. The cause of
the disaster was the sudden turn of the
weather, coupled with the heavy rains

Washington, March IA. - Secretary
Herbert has been notified that the rec

the wrecking of the Kearsarge will be

that the papers contain findings and rec
concentrations and, though their charac-
ter is unknown, it is thought court
martial will be ordered. Orders were is
sned today to Lieutenant G. T. Force, ex-
ecutive officer of the ship, who was de-
tached March 9th, to proceed to Ronca-
dor on the wrecking steamer Orion, in
place of Lieutenant Brainard, who is or
dered to the Fern. All the other officers
on the Kearsarge have found new duties
since their detachment March 6, except
Commander Heyerman and Lieutenant
Lyman. who were not detached until
yesterday and who now remain on wait
ing orders. The placing of them under
waiting orders is thought to indicate that
any proceeding supplementary to the
inquiry may be directed against them.

morning. He sought safety on the

crews of the vessels well. In coming up
the harbor this morning the government
fleet saluted the United States flag and
Rear Admiral Benham. The United
States fleet will disperse soon. The men
aboard the American warships are in
excellent health. The end of insurgent
power in the harbor was welcomed with
Joy in the city. Exchange improved %

insurgent cause, are reported in South
Brazilian waters. Both are said toy be
disabled. Admiral Mello has been seen
in the streets of Montevideo. He has
deserted his followers as Admiral da

here will be pardoned and the officers
court martialled.
