MR.. EDITOR: Please allow me suf-

tradict the charges MADE by "A Resi-
dent" whose complaint concerning the
mail service between Pahala and Wal
ohinn appeared in your issue of Aug.
9Th.
l am fully convinced that there Is no
reason for complaint in this respect.
To the best of my knowledge the post
master generals representative at
Waiohinu does his duty In regard to
the Hilo mail service. When a mai
from Hilo is expected, the mail carrier
is despatched to Pahala the day before
its arrival at that place, so that he
may-return without unnecessary delay

Hot Time ON The Idler.

The pleasure launch Idler was dam
aged by fire near Muscatine late We'd
nesday afternoon. The destruction of
the craft by fire provided an exciting
time for its passengers. but fortunate
ly there were no casualties, as the few
who were aboard, after seeing that
their endeavor to smother the flames
was unavailing in their incipieney,
sought safety by jumping into the
skiff that trailed after the launch for
use in case of just such an emergency.
The canopy, seats and woodwork were
ruined by the flames, the boat being
saved from utter destruction by being
deluged with water which the boys
threw into it. thus barely saving the
hull, which with great difficulty was
towed to the Iowa shore and bcached.
The fire originated from a leak in the
gasoline pipe, which allowed the oil to
ignite from the engine.

Our BOYS are on the sea. At least
it is reasonably certain they are, and
from the best surmises will reach New
York not later than next Monday. The
war department at Washington last
night made public the following:
Ponce. Sept. l. 1S9S.-Secretary Ct
troops will be left in Porto Rico and
nearly 4. 600 infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery sail for New York. These troops
sail on the OLDHAM. Concho, Chester.

division is under command of Maj.
Gen. Wilson. with rig.-Gens. Schwan,
Haines and Garretson. All these Off
GERS have taken part in the different
engagements and are entitled to much
credit. and l speak for them any con-
sideration that can be given on their
return home. The cavalry and artil-
cry leave most of their horses and
ali of their field transportation in
Porto Rico. / sail on OLDHAM today.
MILES,
Maior-General Commanding"
1t will be seen that Gen. Garretson's
brigade is included among those men
toned by Gen. Miles. The fact, as
well as the compliment paid the COM
mander, is gratifying. as Gen. Garrett
son has commanded she 9th since it
arrived at Camp Alger, and the SOL
diers did their part in winning any
honor their brigade commander may
have attained.
Pay of Troops.
A dispatch has been received at the
war department from Gen. Miles ask
ing why the troops in Porto Rico
have not been paid. The explanation
is given that the Paymasters. with
money for the troops. were at San
tiago and ready to proceed to Ponce,
but Gen. Miles objected to the pay
masters, saying they would bring
yellow fever infection with them, or
the money might be infected while on
board the ships. Other paymasters
have since been dispatched to Porto
Rico to pay the troops that remained
there. complaints have been made,
also, by certain regiments that they
received no pay while at Santiago. IT
is learned at the department in some
of the Instances that requests were
made by the commanding officers of
the regiments to defer payment until
the troops returned to the United
States. Such requests were approved
by Ger Shafter, and accordingly the
omitted such regiments
when paying at Santiago.

DEATH OF A SOLDIER.
Paul WurzeI, of Rock Island,
Passes Away at jack

A VICTIM OF TYPHOID FEVER.

Leaves short Time Ago as MesAiser of
the FIftIeth Iowa Regiment Band in the
Best of Health and Spirits-sad News
Comes Last NIght-RelatIvss Order the
RemaIns Sent Home.
Paul WurZel was the second of Rock
Islands soldier boys to be sacrificed
to the cruel negligence of army camp
life. The following telegram received
at $50 last night tells the sad story:
Camp Cuba Libre, Jacksonville, Fla,
Sept. ARGUS. Rock Island: Paul
Wurzel died this morning of typhoid
fever. Letter explaining.
Louis w. JOHNSON.
Messages also came to Mr.. and Mrs.
John F. Seitz and Miss Katie Bruins
wig. the latter being the deceased's
sweetheart. Word came to her earlier
in the evening that her soldier lover
was rapidly nearing the end. She
had been prepared for the shock, how
ever, by letter which came pre-
viously announcing his illness. Paul,
cheerful, happy, and in the best of
health, went away from Rock Island
not more than a month ago, joining
the 50th Iowa regiment band at Dav-
export, his companion musicians
from this city being Louis w. John
son and A w. Coulter.
Like other BOYS in blue who went
before him he no doubt died because
of lack of proper care and food, for
those who knew him, rugged, strong
young man that he was, know that he
would have been able to survive an
attack of fever if he had received half
the attention accorded to a human I'M
der such circumstances.
Paul Wurzel was % years of age.
He came to Rock Island several years
ago from Germany, where he was
born He learned the bookbinders'
trade and was in the employ of Will
country's call. He was an excellent
musician and a member of Bleuer's
band. in which organization he served
rs clarinet soloist. His only relatives
here are an uncle and aunt, Mr.. end
Mrs. John F. Ssitz, 727 Thirteenth
street, who have ordered the remains
sent to them.
Mr.. Don's Tribute.
William Don thought great deal
of young Wurzel. Paul worked for
me two years, he said, ''and proved
himself good, honest, faithful and
Industrious young man. The last re-
quest he made of me before going to
the front was to hold his position for
him. 1 promised him L would and
was expecting him back soon. He
has widowed mother in Germany.
and he was her only son. just before
his departure he insured his life for
81 900. and L believe he also had
some money in the bank. Paul was
ambitious to succeed as musician,
and if he had lived would no doubt
have made his mark in that profess
sion''

he went in the defense of the starry

MAcKEREL FISHING IN ERIN.
The Curing Industry a Great Boon
to that Country.

The Irish mackerel fishing industry
has been made the matter Of a special
report to the State Department by Con-
sui Swiney, who writes from Cork as
follows:
'Mackerel fishing In Ireland is prac-
tically confined to this district, on the
coasts OF counties Cork and Kenny, and
Is done In the spring and autumn. The
fish taken in the spring are generally
sent TO the English markets fresh, but,
owing to the present demand in the
United states. those caught this spring
are being largely cured for that market.
The mackerel cure I'm Ireland I'm 1897
amounted to about 10000 barrels, nearly
Ali being sent to the American market.
The autumn fishing Is principally done
near shore by small six-oared boats, of
which there are some 1000 engaged. Be-
sides these. there were, last year, or
large boats. twenty-four English, six
Scotch. 1876 Manx Usle OF NAM, and
ninety-three French.
"The development of the mackerel-
curing industry ON the southwest coast
OF Ireland Is one of the greatest booms
that could have come to the country.
ON the coasts OF Cork and Kerry alone.
about G 30. 900 (s145. 1861 Is paid each year
between the months OF August and De-
cenber as wages to the families of the
fishermen and about 100000 (S4S6. $500
10 the fishermen for fish. When IL is re-
membered that this money Is put I'm
circulation IN very poor district, IL
can easily be seen to be boon to the
poor people which cannot well be over
estimated"

Dunworley bay, on the southwestern coast
Of County Cork. was last week 'he scene of
some interesting diving operations. More
than 800 years ago n spanish pirate ship was
wrecked In this place. All hands were lost
except one black slave, who was kindly
treated by the natives when he got ashore,
and communicated the fact that the lost ship
contained n considerable quantity of gold
and other valuable treasure. Years after the
disaster evidence corroborative Of the slaves
story was found I'm the curious trinkets
wished up by the tide. II was not, however,
until last week that any practical effort was
made TO secure this long hidden treasure. A
svndicate was formed for the purpose OF
carrying on diving operations, and these re-
suited in the discovery OF twelve cannon,
which were raised and are ut present stored
IN Cork city. Later still were discovered a
number cf coins and other articles Of an
tiquiiy. The divers are confident that they
will eventually arrive st the moro valuable
portion of the treasure when they have had
time 20 search through the debris.-shefield
