KEEP AT 1T.

It is a melancholy idea that all
the literature, all the magazine
articles, all the letters of cores
pondents, all the pamphlets that
have been written, have, according
to the morning paper, had little or
no effect upon the American people.
Happily there are many who think
otherwise. There are those that
that, and think rightly, that not
single letter that goes from these
Islands, dealing with the condition
of affairs here, fails of making some
mark.
The letters or the ideas contained
in the letters filters into the press,
aud how yer pessimistic an idea he
morning contemporary may have
OF the press, judged from its own
standard, the press has very large
influence in moulding and helping
to form the opinions of masses of
people. For one man who will care

read newspaper paragraphs and
magazine articles
There is no need to let up on the
work of informing the public of the
United States what the conditions
are here, and of showing how the
annexation feeling is growing even
among the native Hawaiians. For
growing it is and nothing goes more
to prove it than the fact that an
anti-annexation meeting held in this
city could not scare up more than
800 people to attend it, many of
whom only loosed on and MANY
more of whom were women. 1t is
also shcwn by the statement OF
Senator Kauhane, a native Hawaii
an, who tells us, in an interview
published last Saturday, that a
number of his people are in favor OF
annexation, that others are on the
verge of becoming annexationists,
and is still further shewp by the
apathy of others of the Hawaiians
upon the question.
The more the question is agitated
the more it is clearly understood
both here and abroad, and it would
be the height of weakness at this
stage of the game to follow the ad-

We shall march as the world is
marching and Democracy, under
the Stars and Stripes, will be the

For this end, however assured we
may be of the ultimate result we
must work, and both tongue and
pen must never falter in pushing
forward towards the goal we all
hope to reach.

The Dauntless' Second Libel for
Filibustering Dismissed
Yesterday.
CAPTAIN AND CREW QUESTIONED.
Nothing of an discriminating Nature Was
ELECTED and Judge Locke Decided
There Was No Case.

jacksonville, April l6.-Thel lnannt
less scored another victory today.
This morning the sancy little tlli-
buster was tried in the United States
court on the charge of fitting out an
expedition from No Name Key on De-
cPmher 30 last to cruise and commit
hosltilities against the King of Spain
in the island of Cuba, with whom the
United States was at peace.
All the witnesses introduced in the
case we're in behalf of the govern
ment, the defense wisely thinking 1t
unnecessary to offer any evidence IN
rebuttaI.
The captain and members of the
crew of the Dauntless on her reputed
expedition were the chief witnesses.
Nothing of an IncrIminating nature
was obtained from either of them.
Judge Locke stated that no evidence
had been introduced to show that the
Dsuntless had been fitted out with the
intention to cruise or commit -hOstill-
ties against the King of Spain and
that this was shown by her Immediate
return to Jacksonville and, therefore,
he dismissed the libel and ordered the
bond against the Dauntless cancelled,
and the saucy little tug is free.
The government attorneys have re.
served the right to appeal in yester-
days and today's cases against the
DauntIess If such shall be ordered
after consultation with the Washing
ton authorities.
Judge Locke, later in the day. re-
fused to grant the government attor-
neys certificate of probable cause of
action against the Dauntless. This
refusal gives Owner Bisbee a fine
point IN his suit for damages against
the collector and others.

A Monster in Human Form Turns
Up in the State Of New
York.
Two DEAD WOMEN In A CARRIAGE.
Their Male Companion Appears Little Later,
Himself Nearly Dead, and Tells
the Story.

Watertewn, :, April ff66 ff66 "A xpe=-
cial from Sackett's Harbor says that
horrible crime was committed in the
vicinity of that village, where the
Ninth United States Infantry is sta
toned, about ten miles from this city,
last night.
During the afternoon or evening
George Allen, the steward of Madison
barracks, hired horse and carriage
at Sackett's Harbor and took two
women out driving. One of bis COM
panions was a young lady, MISS Bail
ey, and the other was divorced
woman, Mrs. Crouch.
At 2 80 this morning the horse came
back to the livery stable, drawing the
carriage, which at first the liveryman
believed was empty, but on going up
to the carriage he found the bodies of
the two women in the bottom of it.
About this time Allen came stagger-
ing into the barracks IN weakened
condition, and he, too, is expected to
die. He has made an ante mortem
statement to the effect that Crouch,
the husband of the divorced woman,
assaulted the whole party, murdered
the two women and threw him (Al-
len) into the creek. Crouch is under
arrest.

The Withdrawal of Her WOrsted
Troops to Be Made Within
a Few Days.
SAY INSURGENTS ARE ALL KILLED.
Cuban Information, However, Is That Spain
Has to Retire on Account of Exhaus-
tion of Her Funds.

Washington. April 16.-According
to Information received from trust.
worthy sources here the withdrawal
of at least part of the great army
Spain has mainualned for several
years in Cuba will begin when the
rainy season sets in within a few days.
The initial movement will be the with
drawal of $4,000 Spanish troops from
Havana for Spain and within a short
time after that 10000 troops. 1t is un-
derstood, will follow. Whether this
movement Is to he construed in favor
of or against Spain it is impossible TO
now say.
Spain says that little or nothing
now remains of the insurgents; that
Gomez has only about so or 100 follow
ers, and that to watch these under the
conditions in which the campaign has
been necessarily conducted a few
thousand men are quite as effective as
an army of $4,000 men, which has been
maintained in Cuba.
The Cuban contingent, on the other
hand, insists that The Spanish fnan-
ciai resources are exhasuted and that
the troops are to be withdrawn be-
cause of lack of money to keep them
in service.

THE LATEST CLAIM.

Savannah Officers Say That Brunswick OFF,
GERS Are Liable to Court-Martial.
Yesterdays Savannah News quoted
the Savannah Naval Militia as saying
that the Brunswick officers have laid
themselves liable to court martial by
claiming that the officers of the third
division are illegally elected, because
the adjutant general could not annul
a state law by his orders.
The Brunswick officers say that this
is wrong, as they have right to make
a claim of illegallty when the officers
were elected in defiance of a state law,
and that if any one could be held for
court-martial on such charge, it
would be the Savannah officers who
made the first claim of illegality in
the case of Ensign duBignon.

Of 1t, Eighty Being Killed In
One Short Skirmish.

Headquarters Of tbs Greek
Army in Thessaly, April Is Severe
hghting has occurred in Macedonia
between The Greek irregnlars and
Turkish forces. A column of irreg-
II arS sent to the right from Pigavitza,

Grevena, the objective point,
This column, commanded by Chiefs
ZermOs and LuZza, attacked Kritudes
on Tuesday. The place was defended
by two companies of Turks. After q
severe fight, u ing which eighty
Turks were killed and twenty-five ia
ken prisoners, the position was cap
tured by the Greeks, who also obtain
ed pos session of $50 rifles and guam
itiy of cartridges.
The insurgents, however, suffered

Greeks, and attacked the 400 irreg-
ulars of Greece, who occupied an en-
trenched position. 1t is reported that
the fighting was ferocious on both
sides. The insurgents eventually were
compelled to retreat north to the
mountains. Some of them, however,
succeeded in breaking through the
Turkish lines and escaped to Baltino,
Just across the frontier IN Macedonia,

and used by them as a depot for pro-
visions and ammunition. Accounts
given by refugees of the Turkish loss
are believed to be exaggerated. They
say that 265 Turks were killed while
the irreguars only had eight men
killed and II wounded. All the ref
