Committee on Resolutions
At the meeting of Cumberland County
Pomona Grange. held with Pleasant
River Grange, September 2sth, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Whereas In view of the loss we have
sustained by the decease of our brother,
Hezekiah Whitney, and of the still
heavier loss sustained by those nearest
and dearest to him, therefore be it
Resolved, That it is but a just tribute
to the memory OF the departed to say that
in regretting his removal from our
midst, we mourn for, one who was in
every way worthy Of our respect and re-
gard.
brother the members of this gran ge have
sustained apersonal loss and that we shall
ever appreciate his manly virtues and
noble Christian character and further
that we strive to emulate his devotion to
ali the duties which devolved upon him
as member and an officer OF this
grange
sympathy to tho bereaved family, real
ling that no words of ours can heal the
wounded hearts, we would commend
them to the care of the all wise and
loving father, "who does all things
well. J"
One by one til links are broken,
Hand clasps given and last words spoken,
Rut we know our loved ones wait,
Just beyond the Heavenly gate.
And soon at our dear Masters call,
We will there once more meet all,
And whence our work is ended,
And our labors all are done,
May we wear crown of glory,
That we all have nobly won.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
tions be placed upon our records, also a
COPY sent to the family of our deceased
brother, and to the Portland PRESS for
publication. -

an inaccessible summit. Two young

VOLUNTEERS IN CAMP.
Captain Smiths Company Will Start
Saturday, the Goth.

Company A, N. G. H, Captain
Paul Smith commanding, will go
into camp at Makee Island on
Saturday, the Goth, returning to
the city the following Monday, and
the other volunteer companies will
follow the same program during
the succeeding weeks. It was first
proposed for the volunteer COM
panies to go into camp for week
at the Executive grounds, but,
owing to the cost to the Govern
ment and the inconvenience to
many Of the working men in the
ranks, the above scheme has been
decided as the most feasible.
Members of the company will
assemble at the headquarters Sa-
turday afternoon and, equipped
with two days rations and camp
utensils, will march to the island,
where they will pitch their tents
and establish camp in proper
military style. Bright and early
Monday morning they will break
camp and return to the city.

at the same time, that the barren

"We landed on small rock about
thirty yards distant, but could find no
place for flag pole, so we read the
proclamation, uufurled the Hawaiian
flag and took possession.
"a return to the steamer was made
and at noon we were under way to-
wards Sand Island, portion of the
same shoals. The distance was not
great, but we went along under the
slow bell on account of the many
reefs in the vicinity. At 1:30 we
came to anchor and went on shore.
"Sand Island is composed of coral
sand and shells. It rises about ten
feet above sea level. The area is
small. There is but little vegetation
on it; birds were thick and the water
off shore was swarming with fish.
CATER we examined the place, the
flag pole was placed in position and
the proclamation, which was signed
by myself, Prof. w. T. Brigham and
F. S. Dodge was read.
"The Hawaiian flag was raised and a
salute fired. We then attached a
copper cylinder containing the pro-
clamatiOn, a copy Of the Hawaiian
Star of July 9Th, a copy of the San
Francisco Argonaut, a Weekly EX-
aminer of a late date and a copy of
London illustrated journal.

King, who named it "Lehua ISL
and" after the steamer Of the same
name.
The trip was an important one
and well carried out. When the
party landed at Neckar Island, it
was found that the British gun
boat Champion had visited the
place during last September. Her
officers surveyed the islands and
took soundings in all directions.
They left a pencil written notice of
their visit.
Minister King was seen in his
office yesterday morning, a tri1e

health. In sFeaking Of the trip he
said:

Rev. +. NJ. Poteat approved of his
wife's remarks, but added: Mrs. Po-
teat's temperament, her bringing up,
her sensitiVeness on certain matters
have much to do with her feelings on
those subjects. To persons who have
not been brought up to regard smo-
king as vulgar habit, it may not be
considered as such, but when she sees
a student smoking on the street it af-
fects her strongly with aversion to the
habit and practice. When she sees a
student drunk on the street it makes
every fibre Of her body tingle with in
dignation, owing to her nature and
her training in the matter"

VIII start for Cuba in a Day or
IwO-Arran&tng Terms of Peace.
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Four men who
voluntarily forsook life of ease to
take up arms for the independence of
Cuba, with the full knowledge that
their apprehension anywhere on Span
ish territory means death to them,
reached this city to-day ON board the
French Line steamship La Champagne
They were Major-General Claxsto
Garcia, Mariana Aberiche Alfred
Arrange and NJ. Soto.
Claxsto Garcia achieved distinction
in the ten years war for Cuban indie
pendence, rising to the rank of Major
General of the revolutionary forces.
Being taken prisoner during that war,
he was sent TO Spain for trial. Power
full court influence was brought to
bear in his factor and his life was
spared on condition that he would
spend the remainder of his life within
the confines of the city of Madrid un-
less permission was given him to leave
the city by the Spanish authorities.
Less than year ago Alfred Arrange,
Mariana Aberiche and M. Soto were
exiled to Spain with other Cuban in
surrectionists. There they met Gen
eral Garcia, now man of 55 years of
age. Their stories of Spanish tyranny
and cruelty so fired Garcia that he de-
termined to do what he could to secure
Cuban independence.
A reporter asked General Garcia his
plans as he landed from the steam
ship. There is nothing much to say
said the General. II have come to join
my friends and do what / can for my
brothers in Cuba. | do not expect to
stay long in New York, and may start
for Cuba in day or two. The plans
have yet to be determined upon"
Senor Arango, speaking with the re-
porter, said: I'm leaving Spain as we
have done, we have, of course, broken
our parole, but anyway we know how
brutally the Spanish authorities treat
| Cubans; will say we could do moth
| ing else. 1t is absolutely impossible for
decent man to live under Spanish
rule in Cuba, and it is worse now than
ever it was in the past.
Death is preferable to such CON
| dition, and the people are driven to
fight. General Garcia could not be idle
under such a state OF affairs, and there
are many natives of Madrid who SYM
| pathize with us. On every steamer
there will come groups of men who
will take any risk to help liberate
| Cuba"
