MERELY A RUMoR
Complaints Said to Have Been Made
of Cruelty at Whittier

1t is rumored that the recent trouble
ait Whittier will result in judicial in
vestigation. Some parties are alleging
that the two companies of boys who
were fiogged were beaten mercilessy
while half dozen deputy sheriffs stood
by and saw that no resistance was made.
According to this story the boys were
marched into the whipping room and
formed into a circle. They were then
forced to bend forward and their cloth
ing removed, after which they received
some ten strokes each with piece of
rubber betting.
The scene was so distressing, 1t is
claimed, that one of the officers was
overcome by nervousness and was
forced to lie down. So complete was his
prostration that he did not recover for
several hours.
These statements have been made in
the district attorneys office and it is
rumored that some action may be taken
in the matter Major Donnell is now at
Catalina but will return in a few days.
If he believes the matter requires his
attention he will send a man down to
look into the affair.

JAPAN MAKES REPLY
TO SHERMAN'S ANNEXATION
STATEMENT
The Message Is Not Particularly
Friendly, and Japanese Editors
Grow Dreadfully Fierce

CHICAGO, July 10.-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
There is serious danger of diplomatic
friction between the United States and
Japan over Hawaii. Although the re-
ply which Japan has made to Secretary
Sherman's note concerning the inten
tons of this government has been re-
ceived, the State Department holds it
in secrecy. 1t is known. however, that
the reply is not so amiable as had been
hoped for.
The reply Of the Japanese govern
ment is of such tone, and there are such
suspicious movements Of certain Jap
anese warships, that the administration
is afraid Japan may be meditating some
coup de force in Honolulu. 1t is under
stood that in their reply the Japanese
still contend that they have equal rights
with the United States in Hawaii, and
that the attempt of the United States to
annex the islands without consultation
with Japan is breach of good faith.
One thing is certain, and that Is that
no matter which way the diplomatic
matters turn, the administration does
not propose to be caught mapping. If
the Japanese make a show of force at
Honolulu without an announced inten-
tion of emanding that the Hawaiian
government comply with the demands
for reparation which were submitted
some time ago, this government will do
the same thing. None need be surprised
If the warships of the United States and
of Japan frown on one another in Homo
lulu harbor within the next two weeks.
War is not expected by any member of
the Washington government familiar
with the facts, but 1t is admitted that
the mobilization Of naval craft at Homo
lulu would be sufficient to produce a
hazardous situation. Already there is
good deal of animoSity toward the
United States on the part of the Japan
ese naval officers, and an overt act on
their part might precipitate great deal
of trouble. During the past ten days
the Navy Department has made special
preparations of a quiet sort for mobil-
ization of our naval forces on the Pa
cific, should the turn of diplomacy make
such action necessary. AT the present
time the United States is not so strong
in the Pacific waters as japan. If the
Nicaragua canal were open, the advan-
tage would all be on our side in case of
trouble.
WARLIKE EDITORS
SEATTLE, Wash, July 10.-The Jap
anese press is grinding out fierce edi-
torials on the pending annexation treaty
with Hawaii. and if these bellcose par
agraphs represent the national spirit,

Olinghouse Canyon.

Considerable interest is manifest
ed in the new mining prospects at
Olinghouse Canyon. Within the
past two weeks number of Reno
ties have visited the mines and in
every instance they have returned
with f1attering reports of the out
look. A number of assays have
been made that have added more
enthusiasm to the opinions of those
who have been there and it is now
believed that the success of the
camp is an assured fact. Situated
as it is within mile of Wadsworth
gives it additional merit, for it does
not cost fortune to get there. while
the transportation of freight and
supplies will be at comparatively
small expense So far, the only
drawback to the camp is the lack
of development work and now that
outside parties have become inter-
ested, this will be pushed forward.
A townsite is talked of and even a
mill for the reduction of the ores,
and the indications point to sub
stantial, permanent and new field
of industry in Washoe county that
will help her people AS we'll as gain
recognition from the outside world.

Cubans secure a New weapon.

A dispatch to the Press from
Lockport, N. Y, says: Last month
young Cuban came here and took
measurements of the canal locks.
He could not explain the nature of
his visit. This week he came
through here on strange craft,
cigar-shaped, fifty feet long and
bound for New York, where, it is
SAID, he will turn the boat over to
the Cuban junta.
The boat was built by the Globe
Shipbuilding Works Of Cleveland,
and is in charge of Frank Lam bson,
engineer, and William Berlin of the
Cleveland Company. Three Gu
bans are on board. They are An
tonic Muzario, Regina Aguirre and
Calaxto Reveni. The vessel is a
submarine destroyer. The outer
shell is of steel, and the boat itself
is operated by steam 1t has no
smokestack, and its generating APP
paratus consumes no smoke. 1t
can attain speed of twenty-eight
miles an hour, and has shown even
higher rate of speed in recent
official trial on Lake Erie The fires
under the boilers are fed with btu
minous coal and crude petroleum.
When beneath the surface of the
water the stream is turned into
condenser, or a reservoir, which will
hold it until the surface is reached,
when the vapor is allowed to escape.
Much of this steam returns to
water in the meantime and is pro-
perly secured.
Mr.. Boylen said tnat the boat was
to be used for dynamiting purposes
and to protect the landing of filibus-
tering expeditions upon the island
of Cuba. This submarine diver is
calculated to battle all the torpedo
catchers and destroyers, and thus
fasten death and destruction to
Spanish gunboats and cruisers
patrolling the high seas and ap-
proaches to Cuba.

There has been no boom, no solici-

velopment, but the little band that

DDS of working ore on doubtful
proposition of getting something
out of it, The gold is there and
the quantity is fufficient even under

When Hogs are Ripe.

Governor Rusk happened to
drive over the State line once into
Wisconsin, looking at the farms
He was particularly struck with
one farm, on which he found every
thing in first-class order, and riding
up to the house, inquired the name
of the owner, when tall German
came ont and gave his name as
Theodore Louis.
"What do you regard as the
greatest wealth-producing agency
in agriculture?" the Governor ask
ed him.
"The hog" was the sententious
reply.
~Upon what do you base this
statement?"
"He lifts more mortgages than
anything else"
The conversation which ensued
developed the fact that Louis had
once been what is called an all
wheat farmer, and kept constantly
sinking into debt. He decided that
something had to be done quickly
or there would be very little left for
Louis, so he decided to try the hog.
The first year he made a little
money, the second year he made
more, and then he became thor
oughly interested, The result was
that he became recognized as a
great authority on hogs. His neigh
bors took up his example, and
mortgages began to be lifted, until
finally there was not one on record
against that community.
"How long would you keep a
hogY asked Governor RuSK.
II would not keep him--I would
kill him"
"When?"
"When he is ripe"
"When is he ripe2"
"When he is fat"
"Wouldn't it pay to keep the hog
for two or three years?"
II tried that once," said Louis.
II took a hog in the Fall and
weighed him, and l took my corn
and weighed it. When Spring
came the corn was all gone and the
hog weighed about what ne did in
the Fall. That made me say next
wear that would kill my hogs in
the Fall and save my corn"
