THE LONDON PRESS
On the Proposed Annexation OF Hawaii
to the United States. .

to the United States.
LONDON, June 17.-Most of the morn
ing papers contain editorials on the
proposed annexation of Hawaii.
The Times says: 1.-THE United States
government has made wdeparture
from its historical policy. Such an
acquisition of foreign dependencies
will bring of necessity a new and seri-
Gus foreign policy, which can not in all
cases be determined by an unlimited
application of Monroeism.
will America pursue the colonizing
course upon which she has now en-
tered. President Mckinley tries hard
to represent the case as wholly excep-
tional, but the forces tending in an op-
posite direction are very strong"
The Standard says: 1.-The natives
will be better off under the Ameri-
can government than before. Without
doubt the Americans will soon build a
fleet to protect their colony"
The Daily Telegraph says: mo po-
litical complications are likely to en-
sue, but it is for the Americans to
square annexation with the Monroe
doctrine. England's interest in the
event is only sentimental
The Morning Post on the contrary
says: President Mckinley should be
satisfied to shelve the matter, now
that he has brought it before the pub
lie. Japan is not likely to consent
without a struggle; England will re-
quire a quid pro que, and the affair
will scarcely escape the notice of the
Australians"
The Daily News admits that the
United States has superior claim and
expects that the Japanese protest will
be merely diplomatic

A VESSEL,
Supposed to BE the Dauntless. Takes
on Cargo of Arms.
j. e. Cartaya and Charles Silva Are the
Only Ones known TO BE on Board
The Expedition Was Gone Hours
Before the Authorities Knew 1t.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June L. "A spe-
cial to the Citizen from Tampa says:
A vessel supposed to be the Daunt-
less came into Hillsborough bay Mon
day night and took on a cargo of arms
and ammunition from schooner lying
at anchor off the south of Alfalfa river,
and then sailed away.
A report was sent out Monday that
the Dauntless had sailed from Key
West with an expedition. 1t was cir
culated by those interested to throw
the officers off their guard and the
Dauntless came in Monday night and
got her cargo The two boats were
tied up until about IL o'clock and in
the moonlight could be plainly seen
from the river front.
j. M. Cartaya and Charles Silva are
the only ones who are known to be
aboard and they came up from Key
West.
The schooner came into the bay and
anchored Saturday afternoon. Her
name is not knows. She was two
masted and is about one hundred and
thirty tons. Her hull was black and
she was evidently well loaded Quite a
number of men went from West
Tampa, striking across the country
and proceeding to point
on the bay shore took to
boats near the place where the Col.
Calleros expedition embarked. The
expedition was well planned and was
gone fully IL hours before the authori-
ties or Spanish consul knew that any
thing was going on, so completely
were they thrown off their guard by
Tuesdays shrewd ruse. The Daunt-
ways here Monday and had govern

ly she would have had a good excuse
for being in Sillsborough bay.
The whole affair was worked very
quietly. The mysterious schooner left
about daylight Tuesday morning. No
one seems to know what boat this is.
Some assert that it is the Adams which
received her load from the Biscayne
and then ran up in this har Dor to meet
a steamer which would take the MUM.
tions to Cuba or out to sea to the
Dauntless.
There IS also q rumor to the effect
that the schooner halls from the neigh
borhood of Carrabelle and received her
load at point where the railroad
crosses the river. The presence of
Capt. Parlin, prominent citizen ef
Carrabelle, in this city for the past few
days adds strength to the rumor. Since
her arrival he has been in conference
with parties formerly very active in
the flibustering business

PITTsBURGH, Pa, June 16.-A strike

PITiABLE AFFlICTlON.
The Queen of Great Britain is Almost
Totally Blind.


Totally Blind.
LONDON, June lit is announced
on the authority of one of the royal
physicians attendant upon her majesty
that 1.-THE queen is almost totally
blind"
No details of the sad news are vet
available beyond the fact that the af-
Fiction is a recent elimination, al
though it has been for some time
threatened. No information is yet di-
vulged as to the cause of her majesty's
blindness.
In fact, it had been hoped that the
pitiful truth that the aged queen
would be unable to see the millions
of her subjects who will pay homage
to her on next Tuesday could be with
held from their knowledge until after
the jubilee.
This is the true reason why she will
not ride alone in the procession, and
why she will not leave her carriage at
the services to be held at st. Paul's
cathedral on Tuesday, and it is semi
officially announced that she will be
unable to respond to the greetings
that will be extended to her along the
line of the royal proce Ssion.

Over Five Thousand Working Men Gone
gregate in Bufalo--They Demand Em-
ployme of the Traction Co. Contractors.

Monday after lunch, between and 8
o'clock in the afternoon, he seem
ed to be in very good spirits
and was walking up and down
the deck on passengers arm. Sud-
denly Barnato asked his companion
TO tell him the time. But before he
received reply he wrenched his arm
away and jumped overheard The
fourth officer jumped overheard after
him Immediately but he failed to save
the life of the South African specu-
lator, as heavy seas were running and
the vessel was steaming at the rate of
II knots an hour. So soon as possible
the steamer was stopped, a life-boat
was lowered and pulled to the spot
where the two men were last seen.
The fourth officer was rescued in an
exhausted condition and later the
body Of Barnato was recovered, float
ing head downwards. His remains
have been embalmed and will be taken
to England on board the Scot
Mrs. Barnato and her children were
also on board the Scot.
The Barnatos lived in the Spencer

house, just being finished, on Park

The deceased Spectator leaves two
children, Leah Primrose, named after
his mine, and baby boy named Ladas
Rosebery.
Although the stock exchange was
excited by the news Of Rarnato's death,
there was no panic. The Barnato com.
panies were not allowed to fall much
before they found buyers. The opin-
ION is expressed that the death of the
great South African speculator can
not have much effect upon the market,
as Barnato has paid little direct atten-
ton to business recently.
NEW YORK, June 16.-Mrs Alice Hol-
brook, the sister-in-law of the late
Barney Barnato, was much indisposed
Tuesday and suffered from the shock,
but she consented to speak to the re-
porters in order to clear up certain
misconceptions. She said:
AS to the circumstances of Barnato's
death, she had no direct knowledge.
The statement that she had received d
cablegram about it was an error. Five
days ago, however, she received a let
ter from her sister, Mrs. Barnato, in
which Mrs. Barnato said that her hus-
band was quite melancholy and that
he was much upset over business. He
was very busy and much worried.
There was no hint, however, that his
mental condition was serious.
Miss Holbrook wished to DENY MANY
of the stories told about Barnato's
early life.
''He was not a London street wait. -
she said. HE came of good English
. Jewish family, as we do. My sister
was never barmaid. Mr.. Barnato
was never a circus clown, and L did
not teach him to spell. He was a fine,
intelligent man-his success in ebusi-
ness shows that. 1t is not true that /
did not like him"
Miss Holbrool1 could not account for
Barnato's suicide at all.

COLORADO MUMMIEs.
They Rival I'm Interest Those of An
Client Egypt.

Client Egypt.
Denver Letter in st. Louis Globe-Democrat
Few people, perhaps, are aware of the
fact that within the state of Colorado are
found the remains of a prehistoric race
preserved by a system Of embaiming which
while somewhat different from that of the
ancient Egyptians, has proven equally eff
fective in combating the ravages of decay.
Many know that Southwestern Colorado
was, hundreds of years ago, populated by
a race of cliff jewellers, and the ruins of
their homes on the Rio San Juan, near
Mancos, are annually visited by thousands
of inquisitive tourists. 1t Is not generally
known, however, that these people attain
ed to such a degree of perfection in the art
of preserving the remains of their dead
that even now, centuries after they were
placed in the tomb, the only indication Of
the lapse of time is in the withered and
dried-up appearance of the skin.
In the rooms of the state historical so
ciety, at the capitol building, are four Of
these mummies, the most interesting spec
linens yet discovered. That they form a
family group is evident. There are the
father and mother and two children, the
latter probably to years Of age. Not
all the dead Of this race were thus pre-
served. In an adjoining cave are hun
dreds of human bones, representing the re-
mains of those who did not rank high
enough in the cliff dwellers' world to be
thus carefully protected from the effac-
ing fingers of time. 1t is, therefore, not
improbable that this family was of royal
blood.
The extraordinary fineness OF the en-
balming wrappngs is a further evidence
of this fact. Unlike the ancient Egyptians,
this wrapping consists, not of many folds,
but a single garment, carefully sewed TO
shut out the air The embalming robe IN
which the remains are shrouded is COM
posed of a ground work of cord made OF
the fiber of the yucca plant, and closely
woven. In this are interviewer feathers
