AN INDIAN DEVIL VISITANT.

Trolling for black bass at the
lower end of Lebec Lake in Georgia
one July said a sportsman, my
guide pointed to little opening in
the woods on the left shore, fronted
by a narrow strip If sand beach In
the opening were the ruins OF a
camp.
"'Therc's Hunters Spiag, he
said. IF you want first rate dunk

'He pulled our skiff to the beach.
and we landed, The little opening
had grown up with bushes the
walls of the camp had crumpled and
the fallen roof lay upon them, but
the charred back log of what had
been a fire place still remained, A
path led amid birches and ever
greens to the spring yelling up into
a cup.shaped hollow among messy
rocks and overhowiug in a little riv-
ulet that rippled down to the lake.
A birch bark dipper hung from a
forked limb above the spring, whose
waters | found to be deliciously pure
and cold
This was old Hunter Lyfords
home camp, said my guide lie
hunted bears about the shores of
Lebec Lake for good many years,
He had traps set al around The
lake and other camps to stop at
when he went his rounds to visit
them but this camp was always his
headquarters Nearly 400 bears he
killed in his lifetime, one for every
day in the year and some to spare,
lie had gotten up to his two hum
dredth bear when the indian devil
came to this very camp, Lyford
was sitting by the fire in front of
his camp one night when he saw the
creature pass and afterwards heard
It give some terrible screeCbeg, He'd
never seen or heard anything like
it in all bis golngs and conings in
the woods and it made a great inn
preston on him, Next morning he
came down to the village and went
to his home. He was something of
blacksmith--used to make his own
traps-and now he set about max.
inc one a good deal bigger and
stronger than common bear trap
to catch that Indian devil,

mighty scarce in Georgia now, If
there are any left. Il was the only

Nicaragua Canal Route to be Sur
veyed Without Delay.
COMMIssION NAMED BY PRESIDENT.
Board of Engineers to be Sent To Grey
town on the United states Steamer
MontgOmery-ApprO OF S2O,-
600 Made for Ascertaining Feasibility

WASHINGTON 90. c., April 1t
is stated that at last Fridays cabinet
meeting it was practically decided to
send surveying party at once to
make a survey of the Nicaragua
canal route. The board will be sent
to Greytown on an American war ves-
sci as soon as possible.
The visit of Warner Miller and
others from New York last week had
much to do with this determination
of President Cleveland and his cabi-
net. The survey is, of course, OF first
consideration, but it is said that this
Government was actuated by a desire
to emphasize the concern it feels in
the canal project and serve notice
early that it is to be distinctly an
American enterprise by thus pre-
empting its claim.
An appropriation of $40, 600 for the
purpose of ascertaining the feasibility,
permanence and cost of construction
and completion of the canal on the
present route, has been made and a
provision for the appointment of a
commission, to be composed OF one
army engineer, one naval engineer
and one civilian expert to visit and
inspect the canal. The work is to be
done under regulations prescribed by
the secretary of state and the presi-
dent is to appoint the commission.
The latter is authorized to suggest
any deviation from the present line
that nnav he dasirab
a tlp1 ~~t~:---A >s,fisDo Or Gonro+o -; -
Herbert and Lamont were directed to
designate an engineer officer from the
navy and army respectively, and, as
heretofore telegraphed, there is every
reason to believe that Secretary La
mont will assign Colonel William z.
Craighill, now in charge of Virginia
and Maryland engineering work.
Colonel Craighill is well known on
the Pacific Coast, having been mem
Der of two engineering boards under
special acts of congress. He was a
member of the board appointed to in
spect and report on the San Diego
breakwater, and also the Cascades
work.
Secretary Herbert will choose En-
gineer M. L. Endicott, lieutenant
commander, Z. S. N. Colonel Mont
gomery, of Birmingham, may be the
civilian member of the board to be
selected by the president. The
United States steamer Montgomery
will carry them to Greytown, and if
the board is appointed this week, as
expected, they Will arrive there about
the middle of this month. Engineer
Menocal of the navy, who is familiar
with the canal route, having made
one survey, will accompany the board
in an advisory capacity.
Warner Miller and others of the
Maritime Canal Company have agreed
to PIT men at work Immediately in
clearing away underbrush, etc, go as
to make the work of survey easier for
the board.

In connection with the above the
San Francisco Call of March 3lst
prints the following:
ayes, the rumor that j am going
back to Honolulu TO take possession OF
the Hawaiian Government IL quite
true," said G.. w. Ashford, ex-Attor-
neY- General and exile, at the Lick
House last night. "And think Presi-
dent Dole will take another reef in
his whiskers when he reads about IL"
he added.
"But it is not true that / have
chartered the schooner Alexander, or
any other vessel, as yet. OF course
we, the exiles, have had all sorts OF
secret meetings and councils OF war,
and have hatched some horrible plots.
"One of the propositions now pend
ing before our grand council is for
each of the exiles TO take a gun be-
tween his teeth and swim over there
by easy stages. We don't need fast
sailing schooner. A common whale
boat, laden with a dozen determined
men, arms, ammunition and provi-
sions, would be sufficient. We held

"Money? Oh, we have any amount
of that. All the exiles came away
with great wads Of cash and other
valuables. We looted the islands be-
fore we left. But we are not satisfied
with what we got. Like Oliver Twist,
we want more OF the same; but we
don't want it for ourselves or our
friends in the cages over there, but for
Mr.. Dole and his fellow tyrants.
"But seriously" Mr.. Ashford CON
tinued; "it is very likely that
fiIibustering expedition 10 Hawaii
will be started and that / will be right
in the middle of it. In justice TO my
common sense, however, / Will say
| that when I charter a vessel to take
me and my friends and our guns 70

neither be informed nor consulted in

Information has reached tue Office
OF Hawaiian Consul Wilder Of a plot
to overthrow the present Government
in the Islands, says the San Francisco
Report of March 3Oth. The leaders of
the conspiracy, which was Matched in
this city, are G. w. Ashford, the ex-
Attorney. General and others who were
deported for completely in the recent
revolution.
Immediately upon the arrival OF
Ashford he gave it out that he intend
ed soon to return to Honolulu prepared
to remain in spite of the wishes OF the
Government. Little attention was
paid to his talk at the time, but subse-
quent developments go TO show that
he meant business. The conspirators
have been negotiating for the charter
of a schooner with which to make an
attack upon Honolulu. The plan was
to supply the schooner with q crew Of
men who were willing to take the
chances OF the expedition, furnish
them with arms and ammunition and
couple of Hotchkiss rapid-fire guns,
and so set sail on a flibustering expe
ditiOn.
Negotiations were entered into with
the owners of the schooner Alexander,
but whether they were successful or
not is a matter of conjecture. The
Alexander is lying at the seawall, fit
ting out for a mysterious cruise to the
south seas. That she has fallen under
the suspicion OF the authorities Is
-, ---~. t,sr tho foot ,thot tho a,safsa,sef.
inspectors are keeping a close watch
upon her.
The exiles feel confident that If they
could appear in Honolulu harbor with
an armed schooner they would have
little difficulty In capturing the town.
The money to pay the cost OF fitting
out the vessel and carrying out the
plot, will, it is said, come from the
same source that furnished cash TO
buy the arms used by the rebels in the
recent insurrection.
Several conferences have been held
recently in the rooms occupied by &.
w. Ashford and an attempt Will be
made to bring the enterprise to a head
soon.

MINISTER WILLIS vACArIoN.
May Go to Japan or Return Home oi
the Philadelphia.

WASHINGTON, March 29-There
are indications that Mr. Willis,
United States Minister to Hawaii, is
preparing to take a leave OF absence
from his post. One story is that he
will return to the United States. The
State Department officials will not
saw ANYTHING about the matter, but
content themselves with pointing to
the fact that the Minister has now
been at his post for more than year,
and according to the usual practice of
the department is entitled to leave of
absence if he desires it and the condi
tions in the country to which he is
accredited admit of his leaving.
1t would not be surprising, there
fore, if the Minister was found to be a
passenger on the United States
steamer Philadelphia when she re.
turns to Mare Island, as she must do
shortly to be cleaned and dOcked, If,
indeed, he does not turn up before
that time. During his absence the
United States Legation in Honolulu
will be left in charge of Ellis Mills,
the Secretary OF the Legation, which
will exactly correspond in official
status with the Hawaiian Legation at
Washington.
In this case the conditions will be
precisely parallel to those at Rome
and in Chile some years ago, when
Baron Fava went home and Minister
Porter spent nine months roaming
through Switzerland and other Euro
pean countries on full pay, leaving
the Legation in Rome in the hands OF
Charge WhitehOuse and the Italian
Legation in Washington in care OF
the Marquis Rudini.
