New York, August "A dispatch to
the Herald from Vancouver says that
the steamer Miowera from Honolulu
brings the following Hawaiian advic-
es:
Honolulu harbor is dotted with Brit
ish, japanese and United States war
vessels and more japanese and Brit
ish vessels are expected daily.

everything is reported quiet, but TIE
impression among citizens is that the
condition of affairs is very threaten
ing and a popular outbreak may oc-
cur at any time when International
interference from ships in the harbor
shall occasion complications.
The stream of Aslastic laborers is
still pouring in, each shipload causing
fresh outbreak of feeling among the
different factions on the island.
An immediate cause of alarm Is the
fact that the United States blue-jack-
cts are bitterly hostile to the Hawaii
an police, who exercise almost mil
itary rule British and Japanese sail
ors are not molested, but American
blue jackets are constantly arrested as
deserters without cause and are other
wise annoyed in every conceivable
way.
The object of the authorities in this
persecution cannot at present be faith
omed. The blue-jackets are writing
numerous letters to the press protest
| ing against their treatment. Heavy
rewards are offered to the police for
arresting United States naval deser-
| tiers which has caused wholesale ar
rests of men of the American fleet. .
News of the annexation of several
of the Solomon islands by Great Brit
ain has been received with excitement
and again started a report that adj
vices had been received from England
that the United States will not be al
lowed to annex Hawaii as Great Brit
ain wants the island herself.
Americans insist upon vigilance COM
mittees being appointed to look after
American interests in view of the per-
secution of American blue-jackets by
the police. They ask that the police
system be done away with as 1t is

Tells The Whole Story Over
Again To Advertise
Himself.

New York. Aug. 2.-Former District
Attorney Oakley Hall, who conducted
the prosecution of Mrs. Emma Cum
ningham for the murder of DR.. Har-
vey Burdell, on the night of January
80, 1857, does not believe the story told
in Chicago by William F. Wood of
Mrs. Cunninghams confession. Mr..
Hall said:
IT witnessed the scene Of the murder
at 10 o'clock on the morning the body
was discovered and made careful ex-
animation. The appearance indicated
that DR.. Burdell had been sitting at
his writing desk writing. Some unfin-
ished writing was found. He had been
stabbed in the back and had started
for the door Of the room where his
body was discovered. There was some
blood on the floor near the chair and
a squirt of blood on the door jamb and
wall. This had evidently come from
the mortal wound which severed the
jugular vein and the position of the
spray of blood showed that it must
have been struck by a left handed per-
son while he was on his feet.
There was no dentist chair in the
house nor were any dentists tools
there. Hisoffice was in Broadway.
DThere was no stab in his heart. AL
the wounds were behind, showing that
he had never faced his assassin. They
were such blows as a woman might
have struck and we proved that Mrs.
Cunningham was left handed. Eckel
proved complete alibi before the cor
oner.
1.-The story says that Mrs. Cunning
ham came back from California to con-
fess. After she was acquitted of the
charge of murder, she was locked up
on the charge of bringing forward a
false heir to DR.. Burdelrs estate. Then
she had to remain year here to be-
gin proceedings as the widow. She
went to California and married the
Copper King of the South Pacific.
She died under another name than that
which she bore at the time of the
murder.
Those who knew all the facts in the
case, believed that DR.. Uhl, another
lodger in the house-was involved in
it and that the stabbing was done with
one of his instruments. He killed him.

A SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
A New Microbe Discovered Which is
Very Ferocious.


Very Ferocious.
Sterling, Col, Aug. 2-What may
prove one of the interesting and i'm
portant discoveries of modern times
has been made by Prof. A. F. Rand,
of New York city, in the form of a
microbe hitherto unknown to science.
It is most minute, yet displays an
activity that is astonishing, devouring
all within which it come in contact.
Especially is this true Of human blood,
a drop of which it seized upon with
savageness. They attack the red cor
pusles and it may be that this discov-
cry might lead to important results in
the institution Of disease for which
these microbes may be directly re-
sponsible for, since they seize upon
the blood Of sickly persons in prefer
ence to that from perfectly healthy or
ganisms. The first discovery was made
in the east, but the professor removed
here in order to study them in a mild
er climate. They propagate by the
millions in half darkened room, but
a ray of light means death. The mouth
is the greatest organ of the microbe
Beyond this Prof. Rand has not gone
with his Investigations which may
mean so much to the world of science
in general.

What The People Are Saying.

What The People Are odylHS'
Midsummer reflections are not cal
culated to allay the general discomfort
caused by an exceptional warm sea-
son. San Antonio Is not by big ma
jority the hottest place between the
lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, but be-
cause we had the hardihood to give an
international drill our reputation has
suffered.
People who leave San Antonio In
search of a more pleasant climate
must be rich in order to reach such
climate, and be able to pay for the
trimmings. The imagination has much
to do with personal comfort.
There are days and nights at the
most famous northern resorts that ex-
coed in discomfort every day or night
in San Antonio, while within few
miles of our city, away from the glare
of the streets, where summer climate
can be had for surprising in comfort
and health any region in the north.
There are things that an observing
traveller can't help but note in visiting
towns and cities, especially when
brought in contrast with our own city.
Especially the effort in every well reg
ulated town or city to keep the streets
and public places clean and we'll cared
for. Our town is dirty and untidy in
comparison.
Every available spot is utilized to
please the eye, in fact the cities and
towns are no longer built for the en-
joyment of the rich, the poor are con-
sidered. The parks, roads, flower beds
are all to make glad the humble and
those whose lives are spent up in the
great towns.
How easy it would be to make San
Antonio a clean tidy, city. 1t only
needs the attention of our ener
getic city administration. The people
should be given a good example.
There are many of our streets that
it would be difficult to make smooth,
but the weeds, the waste paper, filth,
and boulders could be cleared out.
Think over it Mr.. Mayor.
