Robert >. Brown, master oil
the briguntine Lurline, in behalf
of Rudolph Spreckels, owner, has
made answer to the libel of the
Wilder Steamship Co. for $1,000
salvage. He denies that the yes
sci was in imminent danger OF
becoming total loss when ashore
at Kahului on December ), 1896
Captain Brown admits having
signed an agreement with Captain
Andrews of the steamer LikeIike,
to pull the Lurliue off the beach
or no pay, but denies that he
signed it voluntarily or without
fear, duress or protest of any
kind. He admits the pulling off
of the vessel, anc having received
assistance of men from the Like.
like in hcaving out ballast, also
in the safe towing of the Lurline
to Honolulu. But he denies that
the value of the Lurliue Is about
$4,000, and says that when
hauled off from the reef its value
was not over $4,000. He denies
that the Lurline would have bee q
lost il not for the Likc!ike's as
sistance, there being other help
at hand, aud declares his iguor-
anCe Of the value OF the Likelike
and her cargo, or of consequential
damages il the steamer had been
lost. He denies that owing to
threatening weather or natural
conditions of KAhuIui hai Tor the
Likelike was i'll any danger. Cap
tain Brown asserts that $3.50
would be fair compensation for
the towing of his vessel to Homo
lulu by the steamer. The Like
like did not have to leave her
moorings until the Lurliue was
taken III tow, and, all the time
the steamer was in the harbor,
she received and discharged pas
seogers and freight. $50 she
called at Lahaina as usual and
discharged and took on board
freight and passengers there. The
usual charge of the Lihelike for
towing the Lurline to sea out Of
Kahului was $50.
Captain Brown declares be
signed the agreement for $4,000,
protesting that it was eXorbitant,
because Captain Andrews re
fused to render him any
assistance whatever without.

A MOVEMENT should be put on foot
at nee to arrange to rebuild the Mex
leo Military Academy. Mexico must
have an institution of this kind and
the readers OF the LEDGER would be
surprised to know of the splendid
reputation that institution had, not
only in this country but throughout
Old Mexico. The writer was asked
several times by prominent citizens
Of the Republic in reference to the re-
building of that institution. The citi-
zens Of Mexico, the writer feels sure,
will purchase the ground and furnish
IL free to anyone who will rebuild the
building. Something in this direction
should be promptly done.

The RACKET.
CONSUL GENERAL CRITTENDEN
He Royalty Entertained Members of
the National Editorial As
ISOLATION.

Among the many visiting journal
lists now in the city, it is doubtful il
any n enjoys a greater personal
popularity than r. NJ. White, the ed
itor of the Mexico (Mo.) LEDGER, one
of the most influential papers in CEN
trail Missouri, who, with Miss Allie o.
Locke, q most accomplished and
charming young lady, of the same
city, are the guests of Consul General
T. T. Crittenden. 1t has been said by
one of his many friends that "Mr.
White is a man among men, and when
out with the boys was one of them"
A Democrat in politics, he has been d
lifelong friend and supporter of Gov
ernor Crittenden, the present Consul
General to this city.-Mexico (Mexico)
Herald.
CONSUL GENERAL T. T. CRTTTENDEN
made it very pleasant for the MEM
bers of the National Editorial Asso-
citation, who were members of the
party that visited Mexico. He made
the arrangements SO that the delegat-
ed newspaper men from the United
States could g all there was to see
and in every way made himself most
agreeable. The relations between the
United States of America ana Mexico
have been most pleasant and a large
trade has been built up. No little
credit is due Governor Crittenden for
the pleasant relations existing be-
tween these two countries. This
country will be very fortunate if the
successor to Consul General Critten-
den, who has just resigned, comes
anywhere near being as successful a
diplomat. The life and prosperity of
Old Mexico comes from the United
States, and much depends upon. her
representative there. Hon. T. T.
Crittenden made Missouri a splendid
Governor. AS representative of the
United States to the republic of Mex
leo he added new laurels. This coun-
try is to be congratulated on the rec
ord he made.

A BULL FIGHT is A BLOODY SCENE
ONE WISHES TO WITNESS
ONLY ONCE.
The Editors From the United States,
While in Rome Did as Rome
Did," and Went to See
the Brutes Fight.

The bull fight is disgusting to Amer
leans. 1t is a slaughter and SO I'm
fair. The members of nj party only
remained a few moments; in fact,
when two horses and one bull were
killed they all left. At this particular
fight fourteen horses were gored to
death and six bulls were slaughtered.
In the first place the horses had no
show against the bulls. The horses
are old broken down "skates, having
served faithfully and well as street
car horses. They are blindfolded and
driven up close to the bull, who cores
them and in a great many cases tears
them all to pieces. After two or three
horses have been disposed of in this
way then the bull has no more show
against the man taan the horses had
against the bulls. After being infur-
lated in every way they r killed by

surprise when you notice how the

to be able to state that President Diaz
is opposed to bull fighting and is doing
everything in his power to do away
with this pastime. He has established

No ONE in this country had any
faith in Spain's promises of reform
and autonomy for Cuba, and it is well
that We placed no confidence in her,
for now it is reported that Spain has
decided that the time is not ripe for
such action, and she will withdraw the
reform decree promulgated by the
queen-regent. Was the time ever
ripe, in the opinion of Spain, for re-
form in the administration Of her af-
fairs In her colonies? Was there ever
an hour when, willingly and through
q sense of justice, she was ready to
grant them the very commonest prin-
ciples of political rights? The Cubans
know the mother country too well to
be caught by any such promises.

KANSAS CrTY, Mo-, March 6.-Ben
T. Grant, the well-known horseman,
formerly a Government inspector OF
horses and mules at st. Louis, shot
himself through the head this after
noon in a room in the New Albany
Hotel on Union avenue. He left
nothing explaining his deed, but a re-
cent attack of the grip, bad health
and drink are supposed to have COM
bined in causing him to commit sui
eide.
The body was found by his brother,
VIM. I. Grant, who entered the hotel
to see him on a matter of business.
Grant has a wife and child living in
st. Louis, where he has made his
home during the last few years. He
came here several weeks ago to se-

JOHN SCHMIDT, who was saved
from the hangman's moose by
Governor Stephens committing his
sentence to imprisonment, offers the
following advice to boys and Schmidt
knows what he is talking about:
Boys take warning and be careful
what you do you see how near / come
to meeting my death On the gallows
through my evil ways stay away from
bad company and shun evil compan-
ions.
Do as your parents ask you and you
will not regret it had I needed my
parents 1 would not have gotten into
this troubles. Learn how to fear God
and you are not apt to fall into temp
tatiens as great as mine was We are
all subject to temptations; you know
small temptations lead to greater
ones. So beware, boys, and give
yourself to God right away as You
have to die some day and you surely
want eternal happiness.
