Is Discussed.
Washington, Feb. 17.-Among the
matters discussed by the president and
members of the cabinet was the ques-
ton of the expediency of Immediately
seuding one or more warships to Ha-
vana to take the place of the Maine, and
the conclusion is understood to have
been reached that at present such a
course was not desirable
Later it is authoritatively stated at
the White House that the information
so far received indicates the loss of the
Maine was the result Of an accident,
and that in the absence Of evidence to
the contrary this should be assumed to
be fact.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Talks of the Maine Disaster.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Maine in
cident formed the principal topic Of con-
sideration by the senate committee on
foreign relations in the meeting yester-
day. The affair was not officially be-
fore the committee, but it was never
sheless allowed to 'displace almost all
other business. The opinion generally
expressed by the members of the COM
Auittee in this informal manner were In
effect that the occurrence was one of
very serious import, and that it may re-
suit in grave complications unless Spain
can make it very plain that no Spaniaxa
was III any way responsible sIor IL.
Prominent members of the committee
said after the close of the meeting that
Spain would be expected to make an ex-
PLANTATION that would entirely clear up
the mystery, and if she did not, this
country would have the right to demand
such explanation.

Commander Montgomery on the Disas-
ter to the Battleship Maine.
Chicago, Feb. l7.-Oommander J. e.
Montgomery, once Of the United States
navy, a commanding officer Of the Con-
federate feet during the civil war, and
the man who raised the frigate after
ward and ran the Merrimac, Is very en-
phatic in declaring the sinking of the
battleship Maine in Havana harbor the
result Of treachery, and an act without
parallel in the worlds history. In his
opinion war must inevitably follow.
When divers go down and examine the
hull of the vessel, said he, it will be
found it was stove in by torpedoes ex-
ploded under her.
Commander Montgomery is familiar
with che Havana harbor, and said it
would be comparatively easy with small
boats or otherwise to set a torpedo to
destroy an American vessel This is
his theory how the Maine was wrecked.
Bitter Feeling Against Americans.
Minneapolis, Feb. 17.-Frank Jungin
of this city received letter few days
ago from his brother, First Lieutenant
Q. w. Jungin, who was one Of those
saved from the Maine, in which the let

ing in Havana against the Maine and
her officers. Whenever they went
ashore great excitement and evidences
of antagonism were visible. He in

Thorough Investigation.
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Hale,
chairman of the committee on naval az
fairs and member of the committee on
appropriations, said he had an interview
with the secretary OF the navy and that
he felt confident the navy department
would institute thorough investigation
into the disaster. "There is no occa-
sion,' said the senator, "for congress to
take the matter up. Surely something
should be left to the department, and
this is one of the things which in my
opinion should be so left. 1t is, of
course, impossible from information re-

but feel confident that facts, when de-

congress would take steps to prevent de-

The House of Representatives is to
be congratulated upon its speaker,
Hon. j. L, Kaulukou. Among Earring
interests and amid scenes of some en-
element, he has maintained the dig
nifty OF his position md has striven to
be strictly impartial. 1t is further a
noteworthy fact that during both ses-
sions of the Legislature held under
the Republic, the speaker of the
House of Representatives has been a
native Hawaiian. Last Legislature,
Hon. d. H. Naone presided; during
this present session, Mr.. Kaulukou.
1t speaks volumes that these gentle
men have filed their seats so WELL
and shows that the native Hawaiian
is thoroughly competent to exercise
political rights and to occupy promi-
nent political positions which call for
GOODNESS and impartiality, with digni-
ty and success.

When a war is commenced no one
can tell whittier it will spread. To
see an armed force from the United
States upon the coast of Spain is
something that few of the people of
Europe ever dreamed of, but then very
few of the mass of Europeans under
stand the immense resources of the
United States. The average European
looks upon the people of the United
States as a trading and manufacture
ing people. with no military training.
AS fact, very few of the youth of
the United States, no matter in what
position i'm life, but have had military
training and are skilled in the use of
arms. Only following Anglo-SaXon

CoLD-BLooDED MURDER.
A Boy Shot and Killed by Three
Escaued Mexican Soldiers.

SAN DIEGO, July p. - Christobal
Crosthwaite. the sixteen-year-old son
of Philip Crosthwaite, one OF the pl-
oneers of this section, was shot through
the heart Friday morning about sixty
miles from Ensenada. The cold-blood-
ed murderers of this young man were
three escaped Mexican soldiers, and
the incidents leading to this atroclous
deed are explained as follows:
Crosthwaite and another young man
named Macaleer. son of Chris Maca-
leer, an old settler in Lower Califor-
MIA left Ensenada several days ago to
herd cattle in the Baboon Valley. Fri
day morning just before the young men
breakfasted the three convicts rode
into camp, and although the young
men recognized them as dangerous
characters they We're treated with the
utmost courtesy and Joined in the meal
prepared When the breakfast was
cleared away Crosthwaite left the party
to get his horse and prepare for the
work Hardly had his back been
turned when one of the convicts sent
a bullet whizzing through his heart.
Young Macaleer instantly realized
his danger also, and dashed into the
brush close by, thereby saving his
life.
Before the soldiers left they stripped
their victim of all his clothes, and
robbed the tent of everything that
might be of service to them.
Crazed with fear and almost dead
from exhaustion, young Macaleer
reached Ensenada that night and told
the story a posse Of several bands
of rurales and about fifty citizens
started in pursuit.

DROWNING OF MISS ALLEN.
The Body of the Young Woman Not
Yet Recovered.

STOCKTON, July 25-The body of
the woman drowned in Middle River
last Friday has not been recovered. A
Deputy Coroner left to-day to search
for the remains, but as there is con-
siderable current at the place it is
doubtful whether they can be found
until the body rises.
The drowned woman was Miss Mary
Allen of Vallejo, aged 10 years. She
was on her way to this city in the
sloop Huntress owned by Antoine Han
SEN a Vallejo saloonkeeper. The young
woman asked to be brought to this
city saying she had friends here whom
she wished to visit. On the way up
she told Hansen that her real object
was to get away from home, as she
could not bear the treatment her
mother subjected her to. Hansen ana
Miss Allen were the only ones on the
sloop They were standing just in front
of the wheel, when the boom was
swung around by a gust of wind 1t
struck Hansen and Miss Allen on the
head, knocking the former backward
to the deck, where he lay unconscious.
The woman was knocked overheard.
When Hansen came to he called for
Miss Allen Getting no reply he started
to rise. but fell. He was unable to
do more than crawl around the deck in
a semi-conscious condition.
A flag was flying on the mast of the
sloop, and to attract attention Hansen
lowered it to half-mast. The next
morning two young men boarded the
boat to ascertain what was the mat
ter, and they sailed the vessel into
Stockton.
The drowned woman had not been
at home very much of late. She told
Hansen that she had been working out
as domestic in Los Angeles and other
cities.
