The OtterspooI PiIferers,

A few days since story regard
ing two Otterspool sailors was
published in the BULLETIN. 1t
will be remembered that they con-
fessed to stealing sardines and
soap from the ships cargo and
disposing of the same to Lee Chez,
a Chinese store keeper, and q Jap
anese.
Yesterday Harry Evans sue
ceeded in gaining the confession
of the whole gang concerned in
the business. They turn out to be
H. Howard, A. Il. Long, j. Ian
non and w. Evans. A clean breast
of the whole affair was made. The
men confessed to the theft of sar-
dimes, soap and liquor while the
vessel was on her way to this port
and the subsequent sale of such
articles to Lee Chez and the Jap
anese. What is to be done with
them has not yet been decided.
Lee Chez has agreed to make
good to the Captain all the goods
he has received at the hands of
the Sailors so that he will probably
clear himself. The japanese has
not yet expressed his intentions
but it is probable that he will fol-
low in the path of the Chinaman.
The Captain of the Otterspool
has had great deal of trouble
with the crew of the ship during
his stay in port and it is to be
hoped he will soon see all end of
them.

FLOODED WITH GIFT FLAGS
Annexation Flag That Was Used Once
Before Here.
Beautiful GIFT from The San Francisco Chamber
Of Commerce 10 a Similar Body
in Honolulu.

an Islands will be flooded with the
Stars and Stripes, many people of
this city, and, in fact, of every city
of the Uuion, Wishing to have a
gift of their own hoated to the
gentle breezes of the Pacific upon
the occasion of the flag raising
attending the annexation, says the
Call of July IA. There is no
doubt that hundreds of CONNER
cisl bodies and private citizens
would gladly provide the emblem
Of liberty if for a moment they
thought it would be the first to be
hoisted over the islands. The
present officials at the islands
have some little choice in the mat.
ter themselves and in all probabi-
ity the first flag that will be I'M
furled will be one that has been
over the capital of the islands be-
fore.
When the revolution that placed
Hawaii among the republics of
the earth took place, and the ma
tive queen and her followers were
removed as ruling powers, the
marines from the United States
cruiser Boston who went ashore to
protect the interests of the Ameri.
cans carried a large flag that was
hoisted over the palace of the de-
posed queen. In time that flag
came down, but it was not destroy
ed or lost. 1t was saved for an
occasion which the then revolu-
tionists had in their minds. The
occasion has arrived or will soon
arrive, and the flag will be again
unfurled to the wind at the cele.
bration and annexation. The
Hawaiians who left for the islands
last evening on the Alameda made
this announcement to their friends
just before the vessel sailed.
When ex- Minister Thurston and
Minister Hatch of Hawaii took
their departures for the islands
they carried with them another
banner, a gift from the local
Chamber of Commerce to the
Chamb of Commerce of Homo
lulu. Accompanying it was a let
ter which explains the purpose OF
the gift.

HOT SHOT F0R
 SANTIAGO. THE HARB0R ENTRANCE AGAIN FORWARDED BY ADMIR-.
 AL SAMPSON.
No Loss on the American Side But the Spaniards Were
 SOrely Dana ged.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, June IT. Admiral Sampson's squadron bom- barded the batteries at Santiago de Cuba | the third time at daylight Thurs 4y morning. For hours the ships pounded the batteries at the right and left Of the entrance, only sparing Fl Morro, where Lieut.. Hobson and bis companions of the Merrimac are in prison.
 The western batteries, against which the main assault was directed. {. were badly wrecked. One was ut- erly destroyed. In thers many guns were dismounted.
 At first the spaniards replied pas sionately and wildly, but impotent- ly. Then most of the guns were deserted. Not a ship was struck nor a man injured on the American side. It is believed the enemy's loss of life was heavy.
 As a preliminary to the hammer ing given the batteries the dynamite yesuvius was given another chance. Three 25O pound  charges oi gun cotton were sent over the Notifications at the entrance. The design was to drop them into the bay around the angle back of the eminence on which El Moro is situated, where It was known that two Spanish torpedo boat dest,oyers were lying, Two charges went through but no reports were heard. Whether the destroyers were destroyed or not is not Known but the destructive area of guncot- ton is large and it would not be surprising fl it subsequently, was learned that one or both were de. stroyed The third charge exploded with terrific violence on Cayo Smith.

The Central Committee to Meet and Canvass the Returns
 Saturday.

which for Prosecuting Attorney are not known to this writing, the re- turns show Martin has received 993 votes and Walter B. s orrels 1053 votes.
 Martins majority in Desha county was 193, and Sorrells majority in Lincoln county l49. Tbis on the face of the returns, would give Sor- rells a majority of 16 votes in the district. excluding Roberts town. ship. As Roberts township polled only 12 votes for Sheriff, it is not thought that Sorrells' majority can be overcome, although it may be considerably reduced.
 The only irregularities reported are the voting of number of negro Re- publicans in Richland township, and in Bolivar townships where num- her of white voters were allowed to vote who had no poll-tax receipts.
 The following are the unotficin al returns up to o'clock D, m. today (Friday).
