and read before being sent US. The days

eve were therefore in very critical
position. The foreign Ministers were
powerless. There was no warship in the
harbor to back them or protect US. AT
last the Philadelphia arrived and every
body felt more secure. The trials pro-
ceeded, but were grossly one-sided. The
Government lawyers would not defend
prisoners, and all the royalists lawyers
were in Jail. The prisoners were, there
fore, at the mercy of their enemies.
At the trial of V. V. Ashford several
natives who had been taken prisonGTs dur
ing the hostilities testified strongly against
him. In the cross-examination Paul
Neumann, who defended Ashford, asked:
why do you come here to testify against
Mr. Ashford?' Note the reply: We were

told that we would be shot if we did not

the intention of the Government to rush

being known to our respective consuls.
But happy accident nipped their scheme
in the bud. On the way to the wharf | es-
pied Major Hawes, British Minister, in a

on my behalf.

martial law, to deport us without trial.
United States Minister Willis was there
too and Cranstone had long conversation
with him, as also had Muller with the Ger
man Consul. Willis was more vigorous in
his protest than Hawes. Hawes had been
told by the Attorney-General that the Gov
ernment had strong evidence against me.

evidence. Hawes could do nothing but
protest against deportation. Mr.. Willis
did the same.

Honolulu to the home government by the

LASHED THERE FORTY HOURS.
Of the Nine Men on a Wrecked
Schooner Seven Perish.
NOBLE WORK OF THE LIFE.SAVERS.
Men Fastened to the ShrOuds Suffer
Agony and Death While ReScuers
Are Trying to Reach Them.

FIRE ISLAND, Feb. 10.-Two men who
clung for forty hours to the rigging of their
vessel off Fire Island beach were rescued
at midnight by the crew of the Lone Hill
life-saving station. The vessel was the
schooner Louis V. Place, Captain Squires,
coal laden, from Baltimore to New York.
She was wrecked during the gale. Nine
men took to the rigging when the vessel
went down, about an eighth of a mile off
the shore, and they clung in the rigging
during the blizzard until, one by one,
seven of them slipped into the sea or hung
lifeless bound to the rigging.
Two only were able to endure the terri
BILE exposure. They are ]. S. Nelson and
William Stevens They are badly FROST
bitten. The story of their rescue is a trib-
ute to the brave life-savers who have for
the past two days been making almost
superhuman efforts to reach the wrecked
schooner.
1t was on Tuesday last that the Place
was wrecked. The life-savers sent out life
lines, but not before the seamen were al
most frozen to death and so weak as to be
unable to get to them. They tried many
times to launch boat but each time the
breakers drove them back to the shore.
The same attempts were repeated for two
days, while one by one the men in the rig
ging gave way to the exposure.
When at midnight last night the life
savers, under the command of Captain
Baker, pushed their boat into the surf and
pulled like mad to the wreck there were
but two lives remaining of the nine. Dur
ing all that time the men in the ropes had
not tasted food or drink. Just spark of
life seemed to remain, and although the
two were able to drop from the rigging into
the lifeboat they were almost insensible.
Nelson presented terrible appearance
His face, hands and feet were frozen and
he was unable to speak for several hours.
Stevens had been more fortunate, aud the
other survivor had been kept alive through
his efforts. Each time Nelson's head sank
on his breast during the binding storm
Stevens would reach over and pound him
into sensibility again. The latter was soon
able to tell the story of the wreck and the
terrible experience of the two men. The
dead are:
Captain Charles Squires, so years OF age,
married, with one child, New York City.
Engineer Charles Allen, % years of age,
Providence, R. 1.
Mate Jaibie, A years of age, of Norway.
Fritz Ward, seaman, 20 years of age,
SINGLE of Norway.
Charles Morrison, cook.
Gus OLSON, % years of age, of Sweden.
August Fullerton, seaman.
The bodies of the mate and the Swede
are still lashed to the rigging. The others
dropped into the sea.

ARRIVAL OF THE UMBRTi.
On the Way Over She Rescued the Crew
of a Bark.

New YORK, Feb 10.-The Cunarder Um-
bria, Captain Dutton, which sailed from
Liverpool February 2, via Queenstown Feb
ruary 3, reached Quarantine this morning.
She brings no word of La Gascogne.
Shortly after noon yesterday the monster
ocean greyhound steamer passed Quaran-
tine, her shrouds and part of her hulk
covered with ice and glistening with
myriads of diamonds Icicles hung from
before and aft. From the topmost edge of
the bridge to the deck was one mass of
glittering ice. 1t was during the only spell
of good weather on the vessels voyage that
she was enabled to rescue fourteen persons
who were adrift in waterlogged helpless
bark. Speaking of the rescue Captain
Dutton said to-day:
1--WE had fairly good voyage after leav-
ing Queenstown until we struck the biz
zard outside the Queen Hook yesterday.
OF course, the weather was bad and we had
heavy seas, but have had far worse voy-
ages. 1t was at 12:14 A. NJ, on February 6
that we picked up the captain and crew OF
the French bark, Jean Baptiste. 1t was
about IL O'Clock at night when report was
made to me that White Star line freight
err supposed to be the Cevic, had been
sighted. The captain of the Cevic is an old
friend of mine, and / had signals sent up
to let him know who we were. The Cevic
was off our port side. The signals we sent
up were seen by the French bark, which
was over on our starboard, about five miles
away. 1t was not particularly cold, but
there was snowstorm and heavy west
erly swell.
''The distressed crew was displaying red
lights to show that the vessel was out of
control, and as we made toward her three
men went up into the mizzen rigging with
torches. The bark was waterlogged. When
our boat reached the distressed vessel the
men found that the crew had launched two
boats and were loading all of their effects.
Captain Lebot and his son were the last
to leave the Jean Baptiste. They came
away in our boat. The rest of the crew
came to us in their own boats and said they
had brought all their personal effects with
them. The Jean Baptiste belonged at

of treating her the same as other prisoners.
An incendiary fire occurred Thursday
night last in wooden block in the heart
of town. The premises were occupied by
Henry Bertelman, at whose waikiki
house Carter was shot The fire was
promptly squelched by the department as
soon as located. If it had gained head
way one of the main blocks in the city
would have been destroyed. Bertelman
leased the property, but being in jail, the
fire must have originated from some one
else. 1t was started on the upper floor,
under the corrugated roof, which had to
be cut through to locate the flames. The
Citizens Guard turned out within ten
minutes of the alarm but were sent home
in an hour
Admiral Beardslee and staff were Off
cially presented to President Dole on the
31st ult by Minister Willis.
The Executive and Advisory Council
met in January and passed resolutions
paying volunteers in the military and
Citizens Guard 81 day while actually on
duty.
American citizens here have addressed
strong letter to Willis in indignation over

up arms to maintain the Government. 1t
is reported that the letter intimates that
Willis and Consul-General Mills services
in Honolulu could well be dispensed with.
Willis is reported highly indignant and
liable to take strong measures.
Some $50 prisoners are now in different
jails as the result of the late revolution.
The trial of V. V. Ashford ended yesterday
morning and later twenty-five natives were
arraigned in a bunch charged with treason.
Seven pleaded guilty and the trial of the
others is now going on.
There was another incendiary attempt
last night. This time it was at the house
of Sam Nowlein, occupied by his wife and
two other women. A Bulletin reporter,
who lived next door, fortunately saw and
extinguished the flames with garden hose
before much damage was done. In con-
nection with the fire at Bertelman's place
the night before last it would seem that
some crank on the Government side is try
ing to destroy the property of those impli-
Gated in the rebellion.

him that whatever action may be taken by
the convention will receive their support.
The delegates state tonight that the con-

all the Hawaiian authorities and their

positively all trials will be open and fair ;
that the accused will be allowed the assist

be allowed the fullest right of cross-exam-

thirty years, made a record in the cure
of bronchial, throat and lung diseases

Golden Medical Discovery, even after
the disease has progressed so far as to

citation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such
cases reported to us as cured by Cold

cases of that dread and fatal disease?
You need not take our word for it They
have, in nearly every instance, been so
pronounced by the best and most ex-
perienced home physicians, who have
no interest whatever in misrepresent-
ing them, and who were often strongly
prejudiced and advised against a trial
of Golden Medical Discovery" but
who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all
these cases and had either utterly failed
to benefit, or had only seemed to benefit
little for short time. Extract of
malt, whiskey, and various preparations
of the hypophosphites had also been
faithfully tried in vain. The photo
graphs of large number of those cured
of consumption, bronchitis, lingering
coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh
and kindred maladies, have been skill
fully reproduced in book of 100 pages
which will be mailed to you, on receipt

Dole is absolutely dumb.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 10.-A Helena Mont J
special to the Pioneer Press says: T. B.
Smith is under arrest at Havre, charged
with defrauding the Great Northern Rail-
way out of at least SIT 900, while acting as
claims agent, for stock killed and personal
damages. He is charged with forgery and
embezzlement. Smith has been with the
road about three years.
He left Missouri four years ago with
officers hot on his heels, being charged
with getting money under false pretenses.
Two Missouri officers caught him at Great
Falls two years ago, but he got them ar
rested for kidnapping and they left the
State to avoid the penitentiary. He was
known as Louis o. Smith in Missouri. His
plan of collecting damages that never oc-
Cured, it is alleged, was by forging the
names of claimants and witnesses. Great
Northern officials claim to have sure case
against him.
