William Churchill.

Papers from the States of the date of
April 1st, tell of the mysterious disap-
pearance of VIM. Churchill, the ex-
United States Consul to Samoa, well
known here. Mr.. Churchill left his
home on. the 2Sth of March and up to
the 31st, police and detectives had been
unable to find him. His wife expressed
the belief that he had committed sui
eide. Mr.. Churchill had returned from
Samoa penniless and had been unable
to secure employment. He was a news
paper man. Upon two occasions Mr..
and Mrs. Churchill visited Honolulu
and made many friends. About three
months ago Mr.. Churchill addressed
the Hawaiian Historical Society here
on the subject of the origin of the Poly
nesian races.

I. I. McCandless' bay mare Irish
Lassie. which showed such fine racing
quality at the track on Saturday after
noon, is a highly bred animal Her
name. with pedigree, appears in the
second volume Of the official register
Irish L4assie was foaIed the oath Of
May, 1891, and was sired by St. Patrick,
2:14, a son of the famous Volunteer.
The first dam of Irish Lassie is Aurelia,
by Albert W. 2:20, a son of the great
EIectioneer. The second dam was Pa
cifc Maid by Elmo. All these horses
are registered and the lineage of Irish
Lassie runs back 10 such historical
horses as Belmont and American Boy.
Aurena was purchased at one Of B. c..
Holly's sales by Harry J. Agnew for
s.. 600. Subsequently one of her colts
showed quarter in 311a as a two-year-
old and Mr.. Holly offered $4,000 for
Aureila, but could not secure the dam.
Another sister OF Irish Lassie showed
better than a 2:2O clip as a two-year-
old and was sold 10 a banker in the
East for road use. Those who have
been handling Irish Lassie believe that
she viii greatly improve with handling

There is an acknowledged majority in

The plans OF tho opposition have not

BAY, Sunday, June u. via KINGSTON,
Jamaica, June 10, 1850 n. m.-When the
Associated Press dispatch boat Daunt-
less, left Guantanamo Bay early this
morning, after the thirteen hours skir-
mish between the United States ma-
rines under Lieutenant Colonel r. W.
Huntington md the Spanish suerrillas
and regulars It was expected that light
ing would be renewed. The Marble
head was landing reinfo.cements and
nothing had been heard from the ad-
vance pickets under Lieutenant Wen
dell c. Neville and Lieutenant Melville
]. Shaw.
lsAt 0 o'clock the firing was again re-
sumed by the Spaniards, who appeared
on the camp on the edge OF small Is
land about mile to the northeast. 1t
was promptly returned by thirteen RI
fles and a three Inch field gun, and In d
short time all signs OF the enemy had
disappeared. Colonel Huntington then
sent to the landing for a second three
inch gun, which was dragged UP the
hill and placed in position at the sum-
init. The sklrmish lines thrown around
the camp kept up a popping all the
morning, but with not much result to
show for II. Meanwhile the Marblehead
left the harbor and threw few shells
Into the woods.
To the great delight OF marines IN
camp, Lieutenants Neville and Shaw,
with thirty men Of Company D, return
ed In good shape, but much exhausted
by eighteen hours OF picket duty. One
man. Sergeant Smith, OF Company K,
had been shot through the, abdomen and
Instantly killed. For most OF the day
and night Lleutenants Neville and
Shaw hnd been surrounded by q much
