come a time when other interest
may prompt them to afford other
facilities of transportation.
The good will of the communl-
ty through which a road passes it
seems to us is worth cultivating'
at least, We find it so in our little
business.
So once more friends of Breaux
Bridge and Arnaudville, we sug-
gest that you keep on urging the
Rail Road officials to build up to
your towns. Unite and ask them
on which side of the Teche they
desire to get the right of way, de-
pot grounds ETC., and once you
know that, go to work and we pro-
mise you our hearty cooperation.
We reiterate that We would like
to see the branch road continue to
Bresux Bridge and Arnaudville
because We believe that the gener.
tt.l development of our parish will
rebound to the benefit of our towns
and our people in general.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-News of
battle in which the Spanish were de-
feated by the Cubans and lost 300 was
received today by President Palma.
It came in a letter written September
18th by Pedro RoViara, a Spanish prt-
vate who deserted from the Spanish
ranks at PerO Lego when Campos was
defeated. In later engagement Ro-
War was captured by the Spanish and
shot. The letter says all San Diego
was incensed against the Spaniards
ann then goes on to describe hard
fought battle.
a man who was sick in hospital
at Casinbra escaped to Guanatanin in
August and told the Spaniards that
General Jose MaceO was sick in the
hospital and had only thirty men
with him. On August 3Oth Maceo
heard that 1900 men were marching
on him. MarceO so arranged his men
as to deceive the Spanish.
August 31st the Spaniards captured
Francisco, and General Jose MaceO
fortified his few men in plantation
house near the hospital. The Spanish
were steadily closing on him when
re-enfOrcements came to his relief and
made the enemy vacate their position.
This battle lasted from D o'clock a

two hours. The Spanish did nothing
TO any advantage, however, and after
burning their provisions they con-

SAMOA IN \ VERY BAD WAY.
The Present Situation Must be Changed
Natives are Turbulent.

LONDON, Sept. 21.-A Press repre-
sentative has had an interview with
DIR. Lempsiere, the agent Of the late
Mr.. Sherwood, the owner of Pago-
PagO, the largest harbor of Samoa and
the only one secure from cyclonic dis
turbanceS.
DIR. Lempsiere said: "There have
been constant communications be-
tween the British, German and Amer
lean governments regarding the future
of Samoa. The present situation is
an impossible one and can only result
in the absolute destruction of trade and
the gradual extinction of the natives
According to late accounts trade is at
q Standstlll and the natives are in
condition of turbulence.
New Zealand being the nearest
British possession and largely inter
ested in the development of Polyne-
sian trade, Is the proper quarter from
which the question can be pressed
best on the attention of the imperial
government have the greatest con-
tidence in Mr.. Ward, the Colonial
Treasurer Of New Zealand. laying be-
fore his government some scheme
having in view the alteration of the
present condition of affairs.
1.-The Pacific cable having been de-
cided on and the money guaranteed is
a matter of vital importance to Amer
lea as well as to Great Britain and the
Colonies. FIJI, which was first pro-
posed as a central station for coaling
and for repairing steamers, has been
found unfit, being situated in the CEN
ter of cyclonic disturbances. Only
last winter a storm there leveled all
the buildings in its track. Samoa,
which Is in the postal union and in
direct steam connection with San
Francisco, New Zealand and Austria
liza, has a harbOr three miles long by
one-fOurth of a mile wide and with
safe anchorage.
"That America and Great Britain
are both anxious TO have the Samoan
question settled is certain. Both
countries desire to have an end put to
the present deadlock, and it is hoped
that some means may soon be found
to settle the German claims and buy
them out, if not al too exhorbitant u
figure"

Brought Back Remains.
ST. JOHNS IN. F., Sept. 22.-The
crew Of the Perry relief steamer Kite
report that when the relief expedition
visited Cape Sabine a party went on
shore and after an hours search re-
turned with a number of bones, osten-
sibly belonging to one of the members
of the Greedy expedition, which win
tered there years ago.
The Peary people deny this, but the
crew stoutly maintain it is true, and
the story is causing no small sensa-
ton here today, and also curiosity as
to what took the Kite to that point,
which was altogether out of her way.
One man admitted that he did not
know what his mission there was, and
added that they collected number of
Eskimo skeletons during the cruise.
The story of the Kites crew is gen.
orally believed by people here familiar
with the details of the Greedy horror,
who declare that four or five bodies of
those who persisted were not brought
home at all.

The Man Who Tried to Cross the Ocean
Alone
NEW YORK, Sept. 2O.-A Herald
cable dispatch from Buenos Ayres,
Argentina, states that Robert Mccall
lum, who left this port in nineteen
foot sloop on June 18th to cross the
Atlantic, had been rescued by the
British ship Stalwart. He was starv-
ing and crazy when sighted by the
ship, and was taken on board with
his little boat.
1t will be remembered that Mccall
lum started from New York expect
ing 70 reach Queenstown in forty
days. When lie had been out that
length of time he was sighted by the
Union line steamer Thaormina 994
miles from New York, and had made
about one third of his journey. He
must have been rescued shortly after
ward, for the Stalwart left Batiscan,
Quebec, on July 18th for Buenos
Ayres, and would have crossed Nc
Callum's route about the latter part of
July. 1t was believed that McCallum
was lost, for DO news had been heard
of him since he was reported by the
ThaOrmina.

Dunraven Not IseIin's Equal i'm the
Sporting Instinct.
LONDON, Sept. 20.-Tbe Times gives
prominence today to a letter from
Fitzgerald, who says Lord Dunraven
must expect that his conduct in the
matter of the Americas cup races will
be severely criticized and compared
unfavorably with that of Iselin.
His fair. minded countrymen, Adj
miral Fitzgerald continues, have cause
to regret the course of Lord Dunraven,
and all true lovers of sport must re-
greet that Iselin's generous offer to re-
sail the second race was refused.
Technically, the Admiral says, Lord
Dunraven's refusal to sail on the third
day was right, but the question should
have been treated upon broader
grounds. The Americans throughout
have shown true sporting instinct.
The impartial verdict of nautical
history, the letter concludes, will say
that Lord Dunraven failed to uphold
the best traditions of English yacht
racing.

RACE FOR THE AMERICAS CUP.
Challenge for a Sail Next Year is
Cabied from London.
In English waters-British Admiral
Criticizes DuurAyen'- Actions.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-An evening
paper announces that another chal-
Ienge has been issued for the Amer
ica's cup, coming from Charles Rose,
son of Sir John Rose of London,
who has cabled a challenge for race
in 1895, to ex Commodore James d.
Smith, chairman of the cup commit
tee of the New York Yacht Club. The
challenge was turned over to the New
York Yacht Club.
It cannot be formally acted upon
because it was not made in the proper
form. According to the terms on
which the cup is held by the club, a
tary through the secretary of the club
TO which the challenger belongs, and
not by an Individual.
Mr.. Rose is said to be a member Of

really desires a race, the technicalities
could doubtless be arranged.
Iselin Undecided.

Mr.. Iselin was seen at his home at
Premium Point. He says that the re-
port from London is correct in refer
ence to the offer of $4,000 for a race in
English waters. He received a cable
gram last evening from Mr.. Laycock
of London, transmitting the offer. Mr..
Iselin replied by cable: mo definite
answer can be given at present.
Thanks"
Mr.. Iselin says there has been no
business meeting of the owners OF the
Defender since the Valkyrie- Defender
races, and therefore there has been no
deliberate action taken to decide
whether or not the Defender will go
to Europe.
