TACOMA, Sept. Z. - Three ship
wrecked sailors were rescued from Eas-
ter Island in Polynesia by the schooner
Annie Larsen, which arrived from the
Fiji Islands few days ago. They were
George O'Donnell, Ed Walsh and James
Whalen, seamen on the bark Wanderer
which was wrecked near Easter Island
last summer.
The Wanderer sprang q leak going
from Australia to Panama. By vigorous
use of the pumps she was kept afloat
until Easter Island was sighted. While
trying to make shore she ran upon
reef and was wrecked.
The three sailors swan ashore and
were warmly received by the cannibal
King of Easter Island and the natives.
ODonnell told Captain White of the
Larsen that the King took the greatest
fancy to him (O'DonnelD, apparently,
because he landed nearly naked and
thus most nearly resembled the natives.
O'Donnell was entertained in the
Kings own house and all three were
notified that they would be considered
Princes. They were offered wives If
they would stay.
A few days after the shipwreck a
box containing several cans Of paint
fioated ashore This enabled O'Don-
nell to paint the Kings house red,
white and yellow, which. he says,
caused the King to provide an extra
banquet.
Whalen and Walsh made themselves
popular by constructing collins for sew
eral subjects who died and burying
them as white men do.
When the schooner Larsen hove in
sight they hoisted signals and were
taken aboard the next day. Captain
White left them at Port Townsend.

APIA THE BENNINGT0N'S
PROBABLE DESTINATION
Administration Deems 1t Wise to
Have Naval Representation
ia Samoan Waters.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE Herald's
Washington correspondent telegraphs
While it cannot be learned at the Navy
Department that any orders have been
given to the gunboat Bennington d.
recting her to proceed to Samoa, there
is reason to believe that Apia is her
destination.
The death of Malietoa, with the re-
sulting danger of a disturbance OF
affairs in the Samoan Islands, has i'm
pressed upon the administration off,
cials the necessity of having naval
representative in Samoan waters. Great
Britain and Germany each Is repre-
sented by men-of-war, and the au-
thorities believe. in view Of the inten-
ton of the President to establish a
coaling station at Pago-Pago, and the
fact that this Government is party to
the Berlin treaty of 1890, that this coun-
try also should have gunboat in those
waters to protect American interests.
The President is determined that the
successor to Malietoa shall be elected
according to Samoan customs, as is pro-
vided for in the Berlin treaty, and has
so notified the Berlin Government.
Great Britain and the United States are
pursuing an identical course regarding
the Samoan Islands, and it is under
stood that Great Britain is averse to a
distribution of the islands, as is desired
by Germany and the United States.

PARIS, Sept. THE Figaro to-day
says the Cabinet council, just held,
unanimously agreed upon revision of
the Dreyfus case and directed the Min
lister of Justice, M. Sarrien, to take the
necessary steps to that end.
The Matin announces the discovery
of facts duplicating the officers of the

linden. the new Minister for War, re-
ported the matter to the Council and
urged the necessity for reforming the
Intelligence Department of the War
Office. whereupon he was directed to
elaborate project separating the du-
ties of the general staff from those of
the Intelligence Department.
The agitation for convoking the
Chamber of Deputies is growing daily.
Already notices of twelve interpella-
tons as to the Dreyfus affair have
been given. Three duels are imminent
over the case.
A great sensation has been caused by
the statement by the Matin that facts
have been discovered duplicating the
officers of the general staff.
Rumors are in circulation to might
that Comte EsterhaZy has disappeared
and that Lieutenant Patty du Clam has
been arrested, but they cannot be con-

Plumb, twenty-five of us were inside
the opera-house. Suddenly fusillade
of shots was fired through both the
front and side doors. Then, in a sec
ond, the doors were burst open, and in
rushed from seventy-five to 100 men.
There was constant firing in all
parts of the hall, we replying as best
we could. l saw one man fall, shot
through the lungs. They carried him
to the balcony and laid him down. He
died a few minutes afterward. An
other man was injured. We were
forced out of the building. Sheriff
Boynton and Chief of Police Gathright
were in the front ranks"
Sheriff Boynton allowed the men who
participated in the riot to leave the city
early this morning unmolested. After
battering in the doors about seventy
five men rushed into the building,
shooting off revolvers. The ceiling is
full of bullet holes. The attacking
party shot into the air with hope Of
frightening the guards into submission.
The guards were scattered in groups
about the auditorium, where they could
best command the entrances, and they
returned the fire. Those who partici-
pated intimate that no less than 100
shots were fired In the opera-house
within a few minutes. The smoke was
so dense in a moment that all shots
were at random. The attacking party
finally reached the center of the house
and the guards fed to the street. The
latter had but one round of ammuni-
ton. The attackers trebled them in
numbers and had revolvers and plenty
of ammunition. $3.50

glimpse of the young Queen of Holland.
The sovereign however, sent an aide de

the spectators resume their hats. This
thoughtfulness on the part of the Queen

cheering from the waiting multitude
The Queen subsequently listened to
the singing of a grand chorus of 1000
scholars. She appeared nervous and I'M
strung, and had requested that her SUBJ
jects refrain from cheering. The people
respected the young Queens wish to the
letter, and when the singing by the schol-
ars had ended absolute silence prevailed,
which was more impressive than the
mighty cheers which had previously been
given.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Sept.
IA pitched battle occurred in this

two warning factions of the Silver Re

one man was killed and three wounded
The dead man is Charles S. Harris. an
employe at Denver Of the Gulf Rail-

tity has not been definitely established

hand shot nearly off and another got a
flesh wound in the arm.
The fight was waged for possession
of the opera-house, in which the Sill
yer Republican State Convention is to

representing the Teller Blood faction,
was in possession. Ex-State Chair
man Broad, who had been deposed by
National Chairman Towne, sent an
armed force to drive the guard out of
the theater. After scrimmage, in
which many shots were fired, the Tel
lerites fed in dismay. Harris and the
men who were wounded are supposed
to have been members of the attacking
force.

ANTIOCH, Sept. IA case that smacks
of early day border sensationalism was
enacted in Summersville this week There

horseback. Fanlon was impertinent to
Watson, when, quick as a flash, Watson
undid a lariat and threw it over Han
Ions head. Tightening the rope quickly
he rode off, dragging Hanlon behind him.
He had dragged him quite a distance
when man attempted to interfere. Wat
son whipped out a pistol and fired two
shots at the interloper. One shot grazed
his cheek.
Constable Sweeney arrested Watson,
and he is now in the jail at Antioch
awaiting trial.

1t is not slow at any point, and some
