covered by two loopboles In one cf

swan shot, and when Mary had prac-
freed with an empty gnu until she un-
derstood the mechanism OF it musket
was loaded FOR ter and she was placed
at the other loophole. Mrs. Roberto was
to discharge tho fcwling piece, and Miss
White was to have gun i'm reserve.
We were ready before the mutincers
were. 1t was nearly 4 o'clock when
without shout or sigugl or warming of
any kind they came leaping over the
barricade, armed with tho same weap-
ons as before Ben johnson and others
OF the moro desperate convicts took tho
lead, and almost before we knew il
they were chopping and smashing at the
cabin. Some Of tho men carried small
bales and boxes TO heave on the sky
light. none Of them knowing Of the iron
shield boltcd underneath. The gang felt
how desperate it's situation was, and
though we began pouring in our fire at
once, it seemed as if all were pledged
to dio rather than retreat. Those on
deck were also bargaining for time for
those below to get TO work at the bulk
head, probably Gguping that we were
net prepared in that direction. / don't
like TO tell you Of the results. None Of
the muiineeTs below may have been
killed, but so many wCro peppercd with
the shot that all ran away from tho
spar, and it was only after a messenger
came OF deck to report tho failure be-
low that IL retreat was ordered. When
tho fight was over, we counted 1G dead
men OH the decks, OF whom IL were
convicts and of whom York was one.
Thero were no wounded, and | tell You
plainly we meant there should he none.
Not ono Of as in tho cabin had received
the slightest injury.
But II there was rejoicing over our
victory something else occurred to give
rs the greatest pleasure. During the
light and consequent confusion Roberts
managed to escape from the cage where
he was confined and get on deck and
leap overheard. As VIC were shaking
bands and congratulGting each other
we heard his voice through the open
windows and found him hanging TO tho
ruddor. As soon IA he had been drawn
III he told rs that DR.. Haxton had been
the maltreatment he had received from
Ben johnson. Tho wretchod villain,
who owed more To the doctor than any
other convict, had demanded his life,
and when outvoted on that had struck
him with an iron bar and broken his
right ann. The doctor was i'll and suf-
fering, and the escape Of his companion
might make tho situation still worse for
him. In reasoning thus wo wcre not out
of the way. just before sundown
white flag was lifted over the bar1icade
and minute later Ben Johnson hailed
US with:
81 say, what's going to be done with
the dead men over thurc:"

them, replied Captain Clark.
"If you went flo On Us, we'll heave

"Go ahead. "
You feel u thrill Of horror. Well,
tie only way TO get rid cf those
bodies was to heavc them overheard.

removal of immediate danger
allowed, the town would have
little to fear from the introduction
of any kind Of pestilence. Small
pox is essentially filth disease
and can be easily repealed or sup
pressed in town that it finds in
clearly condition. There is
probably not seaport town any
where that is free for any number
of years from the visitation of
this disease. Many large cities
are scarcely ever altogether rid of
the presence of the loathsome
malady. Yet it cannot gain
Roadway in any place that has
been forearmed by proper santa
ry measures. The bubonic plague
that has been raging for more
than q year now in the far East,
according to authentic accounts,
carries little terror for towns and
parts Of towns whose inha bitants
have regard for ordinary sanitary
conditions. When it breaks into
such communities it is by the
sheer cumulative force acquired
in sweeping through the teeming
thousands of population in the
adjacent purlieus seething with
the germs of pestilence. Honolu-
In has been exposed within recent
months, however, to other vista
tons than cholera, plague and
smallpox from the Orient, just as
deadly if more insidious than
those scourges and perhaps hard
or to eradicate. Diphtheria--the
terror Of every community in
which it has ever 60, q foojhold--
has been epidemic in San Fran
cisco. This is . disease against
which sanitation is perfect de-
Tense, yet while it ragged next door
to Honolulu no special precaution
against its admission here was
taken.

THE DANGER.

There seems to be no cause for
complaint OF the manner in which
the Honolulu health authorities
administer the pound of cure"
on this occasion as on other occa-
sions of visits of pestilence to our
gates. The institution of speci-
al quarantine in the suburbs for
privileged characters" who have
been exposed to contagion has
abundant presidents in the past
Remember, for instance, the jolly
party Of steamer cabin passengers
under watch and ward in the old
Dudoit House on Beretania street,
since burned down, a few years
ago. Also the different occasions
when passengers arriving by
steamers in which contagious
disease had broken out were only
required to present themselves Tor
matutinal inspection by physi-
sisn for a stated term. Some
rI4iao,ol, ak has &c = \ ~
about the driving of officials from
the quarantine station to the
suburban quarters where they
were to be quarantined. Would
there have been any less danger
of their spreading infection had
they walked from lwilei to Wal.

TARIFF AND TRUST.

Commenting on gratitied re.
marks of the American Agricul-
turist on the Dingley bill, for the
relatively small protection it
gives the sugar re6ners, the Finan-
cial Letter of San Francisco says:
1--WE hardly see, however, why the
American farmers should crow
over the changing of the imports
of raw sugars into cheap foreign
refined. Naturally the higher the
price of refined sugar in this
country from whatever cause the
better for the interest of the home
sugar producers and we can't see
in what way the existence of the
Sugar Trust is detrimental to the
domestic beet sugar industry. LIE
the facts were known it might be
found that nearly all the beet
sugar factories now in operation
in the United States owe their
existence to capitalists, now or at
some time, directly or indirectly,
connected with the Sugar Trust"
1t would seem that the Sugar Trust
was, at latest advices, the great
unsolved enigma of tariff discus
sion. Also the same entity is
mystery in its relation to, the Ha-
waiian question. On the one hand,
Hawaiian annexationists are told
their cause is hopeless because the
Sugar Trust is the enemy Of Ha-
wall. While, on the other hand,
it is gravely stated that anuexa-
ton and the treaty both
will find opponents in the
Senate TO spite the Sugar Trust.
Hawaii, on its part, has certainly
no call to regard the Trust as an
object of antagonism. With the
question of trusts generally in the
United States, Hawaiians have
only the interest of spectators.
If the people of that nation choose
to tolerate trusts, then the Sugar
combination is as legitimate as
any of them. Present dealings of
Hawaiian sugar producers with
the Sugar Trust can surely not
be regarded as an unmixed evil.
The Large quantities of our sugar
sent round Cape Horn to the
Eastern refneries of the Trust re
move so much of the occasion for

1t may be the proper thing, as
has been suggested, to stop all
immigration from the Orient while
smallpox is prevalent there. AS
there would be no real security in
half measures, though, all traffic
from the same quarter would need
to be suspended. The large
steamships of regular lines calling
here have more of peril for us
than the tramps, on account of
their making the passages much
within the period of incubation
of smallpox, instead Of more than
covering the time as the old tubs
do. Where, then, is the embargo
on commerce to end Smallpox
will diminish if not wholly disap-
pear i'll Japan before the hot
breath of summer. In all probab.
ility its place will be taken prompt
ly by the cholera and the plague,
these being now regular summer
boarders in the East as smallpox
is the guest OF winter. So, if we
are to put up the bars against
pestilence every time it prevails
In the Orient, the prospect is that
OF a perennial suspension of all
intercourse with that quarter.
Extreme measures having such
effect cannot be thought of for a
moment. We must confne our
selves to reasonable means of pro-
lection. Let us have a fourteen
days quarantine of all steerage
passengers from the injected coun.
tries beginning at the date Of their
arrival, while cabin passengers
are given liberty on parole with
the condition of daily reporting
to a physician. All passengers
effects as well as imports of mer-
chandise should be subjected to
disinfection. Ocean greyhounds
besides tramp steamers ought TO
be held strictly responsible for
their reports as to their health
conditions on voyages to this port.
Lastly, and most important Of all,
Honolulu should be made proof |,
against epidemics by thorough
sanitation maintained the whole
year round. This is the most
difficult and expensive precaution
Of all, but nothing else is so i'm
portaut aud necessary. LIS expen-
siyeness would be well reimbursed
in the improved general health of
the community and diminution in
the rate OF mortality. 1T will not .
