MAY FLINT TROUBLES.
Exist Only In Imagination OF
Evening Paper.

The report of the trouble on board
the ship May Flint, as given by an
evening paper, is entirely misleading,
and tends to cast reflections upon the
captain OF the ship, which facts do not
warrant. Hardly a ship comes to this
harbor, previous TO a trip around the
Horn, that does not have trouble with
the seamen through attempts to desert.
Sailors often prefer staying in Honolu-
lu and sponge" on their friends To go
ing round the Horn. Failing to get
away from the ship, the sailors concoct
stories about abuse and poor food. Had
there been any real cause for complaint
on board the May Flint the United
States Consul would have taken the
matter in hand long ago.
Captain Nichols and his. officers are
men Of good repute and not to be con-
demned on the say-so of agitators and
beachcombers.

A feature of aluminium
ware is the ease with which
it is cleaned. No matter how
dark it may get over the fire,
a pinch of soda in the water
in which the utenSil is wash
ed will clean it as bright as
polished silver. The impreS
sion has gone forth that
aluminium will not stand
hard knocks. This is a mis-
take, because when it Sus-
tainS such injuries as usually
happen tin pans, etc, just
push it back in place and it
IS as good as new.

members of ridiculous society, as you call it, composed of assassins and besides that offensive to civil society.
 Finally, by your pastoral letter you intended to SOW discord in the bosom of our families; you caused hate to spring up between men who lived together peacefully res pecting one another. You have called danumb erof men assassins, men who respected you and have not done you the least injury. And allow me to tell you sir, that among these persons whom you have gratuitously offended there are worthy men and men who are res pected by society both on account of their elevated position and their virtues. In fact sir, there are men among Masons as honorable as you are.
 l close illustrious sir, I close, lamenting that you have made yourself ridiculous, and hoping that you will retrace your steps for the honor of a religion which un- fortunately you do not seem to comprehend. It is a religion of love, and you endow it with hate. It is all serenity and purity, and you drag it through the mire of passions. I do not excommunicate you illustrious sir, but under stand and pardon you.
 Respectfully.

SONORA MAsoNs.
Open Letter by AIeiandro ID. Ainslie, of
 uermosiiIo to Bishop Lopez.
ILLUSTRATORS SIR:

1Oui pdolcidi iSet~A, N"N~N o' Magdalena on the 18th of the past month has produced painful i'm pression in the minds of some.
 l take the liberty, illustrious sir, to ask you this question: "What wrong have the Masons done you'" and hope that you will favor me with reply.
 Have the lodges of the state Of Sonora meddled with or in any way disturbed your religious rites1 Have they contraditacted or censured by word or pen any of your acts as bishop1 Please answer these ques- tions sir, but answer then Loyalty and honestly as becomes your ex- alted station.
 You will be obliged to confess that the lodges of Sonora have done you no wrong for the reason that not one of them has been occupied with you or your affairs. You state in your pastoral letter that Masons use the dagger and poison ed cup--in other words that they ara oceaec;ne
 Can you before God and man prove this terrible accusation that you have publicly expressed against persons whom you do not even know9 On what do you base such an accusa- tion. Can you name a single case that will sustain such state ment or that proves or shows in any manner that Masons have used poison or the dagger
 The Masonic lodges that exist in Sonora today work under the an- cient and accepted Scottish rite, and you have made a deplorable error in confounding Masonic insti- tutions with Italian secret societies, like the Carbonari etc., which are purely political bodies, and your error is deplorable for the reason that in writing about subject it is necessary to understand it.
 All kinds of weapons have been used against Masonry; it has been and is now (see your pastoral letter. lied about and calumniated. A case among many others, that can be cited in proof of this assertion, is the compact entered into by Pope Clement " and King Philip, to destroy the order of Knights of Malta, in order to appropriate its causing many distinguish ed men to be burnt by the fires of the Inquisition; the grossest calum- nies that wickedness could suggest served as a pretext for this infamy, and this, sir, is no idle tale no sup position; it is rigidly historical truth. Read the history of England and France and you will see how James de Molay, and his illustrious com panions perished. I fear, sir, that

language that should be directed to

 forget that you have accused us as
 being assaissns, and the defense has
 the right to use at least as strong
 language as the prosecution.
 find, sir, your pastoral letter,
 foreign to your attainments, to your
 ability and to the moral code that
 you teach. What do you mean by 1t? Do you wish to defame the re-
 putation of honorable men who
 have done you no harm2 That
 would be gratuitous, that would be
 fruitless! Do you wish to convert
 the Masons and lead them away from the path that you consider erroneous' The system that you
 have adopted does not appear very
 persuasive to me, as you begin by
 insulting them. Do you in this
 manner cultivate peace and har-
 mony in the society in which you direct many souls9 l do not think so. Your pastoral letter tends to SOW
 discord at our hearthstones and ill the bosoms of our families. It would lead our wives, our sisters and our daughters to lose for us their respect, their affection, their regard. It would cause the ignorant and the fanatical to regard us with horror and with hate.
 Place, illustrious sir, your hand upon your heart, ask your con- science and answer: Are you doing what is right3 Is it honorable3 How can you harmonize the maxims of Jesus with the poison distilled from every thought ex- pressed in your pastoral letter.
 Preach virtue, do not doubt but that your words will clear the way and will reach the yelled chambers of Masonic lodge-rooms, as the divine words of Jesus reached all nations of the earth, making heard with harmonious accord in the humble cabin, or with loud blast shaking the throne of the despot and the tyrant but do | not use means condemned by Chris tian morals and which are doubtless repellent to your own conscience.
 The intense conflict and hatred by religious questions have ceased in our land; enough blood has run, illustrious sir, aud you know 1t because you are a Mexican. Do you want more to run' Did you count on the conse- luence that your letter might have with men of small minds? They might be very grave; God grant hat they may not be.
 You say that Masonry is offen- 'ive to civil society. Allow me to ,all your attention to the following acts: Masonic constitutions were promulgated by the Emperor Alex lnder the Great, and all the em- oerors of Germany have been Nasons. The Prince of Wales, heir o the throne of England, is grand master of all the Masons in the British empire; but why should ire you with what you already ,now9 The largest part of the residents of the Republics of Anne ica, are Masons. And how is it possible that these men, who have I

B~loodthirsty Cook Confesses Double
Murder ana Arson at Sea.
Newport News, Va, Nov. 6.-The
United States steamship Lancaster
dropped anchor in Hampton Roads yes
terday from Bahia, Brazil. In military
confinement on the warship are five
men Of the schooner Olive Pecker,
whose captain, ]. NJ. whitman, of
Rockland, Me-, and First Mate William
Saunders, Of Sandy Cove, N. s., were
murdered at sea in August last, In
the ships brig, closely ironed, is ].
Anderson, the schooner's cook, who is
the self confessed perpetrator of the
murders, and who afterwards set hre
to the vessel. Anderson last night gave
his version Of the tragedy to the press,
He admits the crimes, and from his
statement he is the sole murderer and
incendiary, his accomplices being forced
through fear to obey his orders.
The other five men Of the Olive
Pecker's crew are William Horsburg,
Andrew F. March, Manuel B~arriatt,
John Lend n NJ. Barstadt. The five
sailors are under the impression that
they are being held as witnesses against
the cook, and win be expected to tes-
tify that he murdered the captain and
the mate. 1t is more than probable,
however, that they will not only be
used as witnesses against the murderer,
but win be held and convicted on the
charge of firing a ship on the high seas.
