an interest in me SINCE the accident
To make long story short, the colonel
recommended me strongly for the post
and, as the work was mostly to be
done on horseback, my leg was no
great obstacle, for I had enough knee
left to keep good grip on the saddle.
What had to do was to ride over the
plantation, to keep an eye on the men
as they worked, and to report the
idlers. The pay was fair, had com
Portable quarters, and altogether was
content to spend the remainder of my
life in indigo-planting. Mr.. Abelwhite
was kind man, and he would often
drop into my little shanty and smoke
pipe with me, for white folk out there
feel their hearts warm to each other as
they never do here at home
well. Twas never in luck'S way
long. Suddenly, without note of
warning, the great mutiny broke upon
us One month India lay as still and
peaceful. to all appearance, as Surrey
or Kent; the next there were two hum
dred thousand black devils let loose,
and the country was perfect hell OF
course you know all about it, gentle
men-a deal more than do, very like
1y, since reading is not in my line 1
only know what I saw with my own
eyes Our plantation was at a place
called Muttra, near the border of the
northwest provinces. Night after
night the whole sky was alight with
the burning bungalows. and day after

head, while the other held a great knife
to my throat and swore between his
teeth that he would plunge it into me
if moved step.
My first thought was that these fell
lows were in league with the rebels,
and that this was the beginning of an
assault. If our door were in the hands
of the Sepoys the place must fall, and
the women and children be treated as
they were in Cawnpore. Maybe you
gentlemen think that am just making
out a case for myself, but l give you
my word that when thought of that,
though felt the point of the knife at
my throat. 1 opened my mouth with
the intention of giving a scream, if it
was my last one, which might alarm
the main guard. The man who held
me seemed to know my thong hts; for,
even as I braced myself to it, he whis-
pered: Don't make noise. The fort
is safe enough. There are no rebel
dogs on this side of the river There
was the ring of truth in what he said,
and knew that if 1 raised my voice /

they wanted from me.
Listen to me, sahib, said the taller
and fercer of the pair, the one whom
they called Abdu1Iah Khan You
must either be with US now or you
must be silenced forever. The thing
is too great one for us to hesitate.
Either you are heart and soul with us
on your oath on the cross of the Chris

thrown into the ditch and we shall
pass over to our brothers in the rebel
army. There is no middle way.

We ask you to be rich. If you will be

borne arms against us at Chilianwal-

well. but could get little out of them.
They preferred to stand together and

outside the gateway, looking down on
the broad, winding river and on the
twinkling lights OF the great city. The
beating OF drums, the rattle of tom
toms, and the yells ana bowls of the
rebels, drunk with opium and with

was well.

dark and dirty, with a small, driving
rain. 1t was dreary work standing in

make my Silzhs talk, but without much
success. At two in the morning the
rounds passed, and broke for moment

of the cholera patients in the
Hospital.
While | express myself dccid-
eddy against the diagnosis Of
Cholera Asatica under the cir.
cumstances, l must ut the same
time assent that with the malig-
nancy of the disease as il has
shown itself in this community,
the measures taken to prevent its
spreading have been most useful,
as cholera nostras is contagious
as well.
The large mortality among ma
tive Hawaians in consequence of
the prevailing choleraic disease,
as compared with that among the
foreign population of this city,
may in my opinion be ascrIbed TO
the native mode of living and to
their principal food, such as fish,
crabs, etc, which are easily
poisoned and apt to contaminate
water, aside from the fact that
natives will not act judIclously
during sickness and particularly
not at the time of the commence
ment of contagious disease.
am pleased to congratulate you
and your honorable Board upon
the fact that the epidemic seems
to be entirely overcome and to
sly that your judcious measures
taken to prevent its spreading have
In nv opinion no small share in
this fortunate result.
am, dear sir,
Yours most respectfully,

Belligerent Rights Not pes,robyc-.
United State hammered by
Precedent.

Save vague newspaper reports,
says late Washington Dispatch
nothing is known at the State De-
partment of the intention of this
Government or other American
republics to recognize the bellig-
erency of the Cuban revolution
lists, and it is cutie certain that
no lorna, application for such
recognition at the hands of the
United States has been made up
to this time.
1t is not perceived here how the
insurgents can reap any subatan-
tial advantages at this time from
such recognition, and the only
comfort that they could derive
would be from the moral effects of
an assent by an independent
power to the proposition that they
had assumed statehood. During
the previous revolution in Cuba
several of the South and Central
American republics did recognize
the belligerent rights Of the in
surgents, but no benefit was lie.
rived therefrom. In the present
case, if Mexico gave such rocog-
milton, as is rep1r,,d, aside IRON
the moral effect, the practical re-
suit would be to stop the Spani-
ards from using Mexican soil or
resources to operate against the
insurgents. They could not buy
any war vessels or equip with any
munitions Of war in Mexican
ports and Mexico would simply
stand exactly neutral toward both
parties.
AS it is reported that Spain is
now fitting out some craft in the
United States to aid in thu block
ade of the Cuban coast, this pro
ceeding would have to be stopped
at once ifthe United States should
extend recognition to the insurg.
ents. Either side could ship all
the arms and munitions of war
they cared to buy in tie United
States to Cuba, provided they 20
out as simple merchandise on
regular merchant ships, and are
not accompanied by force OF
men whose object is plainly to
arm themselves Herewith for hos
tile operations after leaving our
waters, but as this can now be
lawfully done, recognition would |
not extend any privilege now pos
sessed by the insurgents
AS far as the United States is
concerned, it took such pro-
nounced stand in the case of the
late Brazilian instruction that it
could scarcely recognize the in
surgents in the case of Cuba at
present without "a complete re-
versal of its position. 1t has been
held that to entitle them TO recog-
milton the insurgents must set up q
seat of Government and maintain
it; that they must issue money and
possess navy to make efectual
any blockade they wish to estab-
lish. In short, they must have
an actual de facto Government.
The State Department is not mott
fed that any of these require
ments have been met by the
Cubans.
