CAPTURE OF THE PANAMA
\ RARE EXHIBITION OF NERVE
AND SPIRIT.
The Account of the Mangrove's En-
plot is Almost as Laughable as an
Opera Bouffe Exploit.

NEW YORK, May IA special to
the Sun from Key West says: The
story of the capture of the steamer.
l'anama by the Mangrove is so remar-
liable as to be worth retelling. The
hlangrove is, in the eyes of naval peo-
pie, mere tub; very good light
house supply ship, doubtless, but as
a warship well nigh ridiculous. Her
model and power enable her, when
rovidence also helps, to steam eight
knots.
When it was decided to make a war
ship of her Lieutenant Commander
William II. Everett was placed in the
command, and two six Founders were
mounted, one on each bow. This done,
she was placed in commission, al
though she had neither musket nor
revolver for the use of the crew, and
only few of her complement had ev-
er served in the navy.
On Monday evening, shortly after
dark, she was lying perhaps four
teen miles northwest of Havana. with
the Indiana in sight to the westward,
when the lights of a steamer were
seen coming from the northeast. The
Mangrove was of course lying with
out light burning.
1--WE ate dinner in the galley and
put hoods over our cigars" said one
of the officers. They waited in ST.
lence until the Panama had arrived
within easy range, when blank shot,
as is usual on such occasions, was
fired.
The Panama turned at once to the
westward as if to escape. bat Captain
Everett ranged alongside after firing
solid shot. and said he would fire
into her if she did not heave to. where
at she stopped, although the Panama
carried two fourteen Founders in each
broadside. with Maxim lead squirt
on the bridge. She is rated as mem
Der of Spain's naval reserve, while her
speed is not less than a half greater
than the Mangrove's.
However, it is but fair to say that
her captain could not see clearly and
did not know what kind of ship had
held him up. 1t should also be said
that the breech locks of his rifles
were slowed in the hold. Having then
stopped his shin Captain Everetts had

MORE NATIVES FOR UTAH.
Mormons to Try Another Colony in
Skull Valley.

Twenty five Hawaiians will leave by
one of the Coast steamers this month
Tor Utah. They are being sent away
by the Mormons of Laie. The party
expected to get away by the Zealan-
dia next week, but, on account of the
crowded condition of that steamer,
will not be able to take it.
Many natives of Honolulu are COM
planning bitterly against the eXporta-
ton of their people. They say it has
been done repeatedly before with, in
almost every case, disastrous results.
AS soon as the Mormons raise their
converts to a certain stage in their
faith they send them to the temple
at Salt Lake. One batch from Homo
lulu were brought back at the eX-
pense of the public treasury.
Several prominent natives seen to-
day seem to feel that the government
should take firm steps to prevent a
repetition of past experiences in the
Utah colonization schemes. They say
that an old law prohibited it, but that
the measure was few years ago elm
mated from the statutes.
Many of the new Utah party believe
that the world is nearing it's end, and
that they should be at Salt Lake City
when the curtain falls on human des-
tiny. This they are trying to do. BY
prayers in the inner chapels at Laie
they have sought to have the sins of
themselves and their ancestors for
several generations back wiped out,
and are now ready to meet the end
of time in Skull Valley.

ACCIDENT AT KAHUKU.

The accounts first given of the ac-
cident to Japanese woman on Ka-
hulu plantation seem to have been
exaggerated and misleading. Mana
ger Weight of the plantation says she
was not injured in the mill at all,
but was caught between some moving
ears and bank of earth and the flesh
of her limbs and feet was very much
lacerated. She was attended by DR..
Wood and as soon as possible brought
to the Queens Hospital. At the hos
pital she is reported as doing as well
as could be expected. Amputation
is not considered necessary at present
