PARDONS IN HAWAII,


The Cabinet Considers the Cases OF
Rebels Of 1895.
A long and important cabinet meeting
was held at Honolulu January IL. The
main subject under discussion was pardons
to be granted on the 18th. 1t is under
stood that the council of state will be
asked to restore civil rights to all who
took part in the uprising in 1895. The
men found guilty of participation in the
rebellion have been at large on parole. An
effort will now be made to make their
pardon complete.
The difficulties between the master and
sailors of the American ship w. 7. Bab-
cock were settled today by United States
Consul General Hayward. After a thor
ough investigation of the charges pre-
ferred by the men against Captain Graham
and his mate, Mr.. Hayward decided that
there was enough merit in the complaints
to warrant him in discharging the men
from the vessel. although not sufficient
evidence to cause the arrest of the alleged
offenders.

soHLEY AT WORK.
Story of sundav's Bombardment by the
Warships Brooklyn, Texas
and Indiana.

Aguadores. July TO- via Kingston, 'a-
maica, July 12.-The Brooklyn, Iexas
and Indiana, under Commodore schley.
began the bombardment of the city OF
Santiago de Cuba at Sis this afternoon.
in obedience to a request from General
Shafter, conveyed by a signal from INC
shore. The warships lined up from eas.
to west quarter OF mile from 'he
shore and fired over the limestone
cliffs that come down to the sea anu
hide the city, five miles away. Inc
bombardment was continued Tor one
hour.
After IS shots had been fired from the
8 inch guns Commodore Schley became
convinced that the Brooklyn's was
falling short and ordered a CESSATION
permitting the battleships to continue
they, with their larger guns, having
longer range. The shots were fired ap-
parently with great elaboration ana
at intervals Of two minutes. The Sig
nails from the shore announced that tne
shells fell 1000 feet short and httle
to the left Of the Spanish position.
At dusk the squadron ceased nrlng
entirely, and Commodore Schley sent a
launch to the shore to ask General shar-
ter II he desired firing continued during
the night. When the reporter went
aboard the Brooklyn, Commodore
Schley said he was ignorant of the pur-
pose Of the bombardment. The reporter
read to him a message received at Ju-
ragua from a mounted courier saying
the armistice was ended and that nos
Titles had been resumed.
Commodore Schley said: General
Shafter signaled to me to begin the
bombardment as soon as could get
into position. I doubted from the start
whether could hit the city. I had to
guess at its location and be very careful
not to injure our own army. II bonn
bard tomorrow, I shall have range marks
on shore to guide me, and I shall take
the ships closer to the shore than today.
The water of Aguadores is so smooth
that our craftsmanship was not anect-
ed by the swaying of the ship. In nring
today 1 gave the turrets the greatest
possible elevation by listing the ships,
but I knew would fall short. The guns
will carry more than five miles, but to
throw shots over the cliff a great ele-
walton is required"
When the bombardment began, a
heavy rainstorm was in progress, with
thunder and lightning, but artillery fire
could be heard on shore, indicating that
General Shafter had resumed hostilities
Immediately on the ending Of the armis-
tice.

Favored Accepting Surrender.

siboney, July 10. - General shafter
held q conference with the American
generals at the front today concerning
the offer made by the Spanish COM
mander, General Toral, to surrender
Santiago de Cuba II the Spanish garri-
son is allowed to march out with its
side arms and have 20 miles start with
out molestation.
General Toral agreed that II this was
accepted he would not destroy the ships
In the harbor, the guns Ad ammunition
In the forts or the buildings in the city.
A majority Of the generals, General
Wheeler leading, were in favor Of the
acceptance OF these terms on the ground
that the Spaniards can march out to the
westward anyhow and could burn the
city and destroy all the vessels. guns
and ammunition before leaving.

EXCITEMENT AT MIAMI.
Soldiers and Negro Melon Wonders Clash
and Exchange Shots.

ana Exchange bnOt8.
Miami, Fla, July 12-There has been
great excitement here because Of an
armed conflict between detachment of
the Second Texas and number Of ne
groes. The trouble commenced when
several shots were heard in a north
easterly direction from the city and
gave rise to the report that a soldier
had Leen killed by negroes.
There were then over 5000 troops in
the city or leave, and Immediately there
was great confusion. Half the number
at least Wee bent on summary revenge.
and, hee y SIS of the better discipline
and cooler judgment of the others, form
ed a mob and proceeded where the
shooting occurred. The whole section
Of the town where the outbreak began
was rapidly cut off from the Infatuated
soldiers by double Gordon OF their
comrades. Meanwhile Major Stewart
of the Second Texas had quelled the
original outbreak and made prisoners of
nine negroes and several men Of his
battalion.
The latter had begun the trouble,
which nearly ended in great riot and
gave a section of the regiment taste
of real war. The soldiers attempted to
wreck watermelon stand kept by q
negro in a section where the negro
community is very numerous. Former
disturbances had caused the vendors to
arm themselves, and dozen soon came
to the assistance Of the prosecuted wa
termelon seller with Winchester rifles,
shotguns and revolvers. In a moment
firing began, and the soldiers ran for
cover. One or two Of them had re-
volvers, and they returned the fire,
wounding one Of the negroes in the arm.
young negro was taken from the
crowd of soldiers by squad from the
First Louisiana and, being later ldenti-
fed as one of the crowd who fired into
the soldiers, was turned over to the
sheriff after being held in drug store
for an hour to avoid violence. If any
OF the soldiers were hurt. the officers
are keeping the fact secret, and at the
division hospital DR.. Villas and his as
sistants said they had not treated any
gunshot wounds. Owing to the emer-
gency all reglmental passes were re-
voked.
