cannibals. This is the story Pettltt
Is a mining prospector. With Fred
Bruner and Mexican named Perez he
sought mineral wealth on Tiburon Is
land, in the Gulf of California, landing
there in June, 1896. While prospecting
the trio were ambushed by body of
Seri Indians and Perez was killed.
Pettitt and Bruner were imprisoned
in separate huts. A week later Pettitt
learned that Bruner had furnished
their captors a repast. Pettitt mar
yelled at the delay of his own slaugh-
ter until he learned that he had found
favor in the eyes of a daughter of an
influential Seri. She taught him a
smattering of the native tongue, and,
though the tribal executioner was
Whetting his knife to make steaks out
of Pettitts body, the girl finally sue
cceded in securing the Americans re-
lease on condition that he marry her
and live on the island.
Last October Pettitt learned that the
Sers intended to kill him because they
suspected he was. planning an escape.
With the assistance of his wife and
father-in-law he obtained a canoe and
made his way to the Mexican coast,

him to return at the earliest possible

THE JOINT RESOLUTION.

The difference between the American
Senate and House regarding the Cuban
matter was on the point or recognizing
the present alleged Republic of Cuba.
The President desired to be relieved of
any complications which would arise
of a recognition of the Republic of
Cuba. His reasons were, that if the
United States recognizing that Govern
ment, he, the President, would have to
carry on war or intervention in Cuba
subject to the consent of that Govern
ment This might seriously embarrass
him. He could not act freely and indie
pently in moving armies, or attacking
cities on Cuban soils, as he would be
subject to the dictation of that Govern
ment, when within it's jurisdiction
That Government is not well settled.
The extremists in Congress replied
to the President: Never mind the
Cuban Government; do as you please;
turn it down if it happens to put on
airs" But the extremists did not see,
or in their excitement refused to see,
that the President would inevitably
make history, and might commit the
United States to course which in the
end, would be a boomerang.
The United States followed a short
sighted policy in refusing to abolish
privateering some years ago. Now
Spain may cause great loss to Amer

and honesty of the Cuban patriots.

First Object of Resolutions to BE
Fulfilled at Once.
NEW YORK, April 2O.-The central
Cuban relief committee today char
tered the steamship State of Texas OF
the Mallory line to carry relief sup
plies to the suffering people in Cuba.
It is expected that the loading will be
completed in time for her to go to sea
by Saturday.
She will be delivered into the charge
of the American National Red Cross
and will Immediately sail for Key
West, where she will call for orders.
In case circumstances shall render it
necessary for a convoy by United
States vessels, they will be furnished
by the Government upon the request
of the Red Cross. The Red Cross rep
resentatives, some 25 in number, will
join the ship at Key West.
If circumstances permit, Miss Bar
ton will accompany the relief ship from
Key West to Cuba.

OUR NEUTRALITY.

We stated some days since that one
of the we'll recognized principles o
neutrality was that of refusing to al
low either belligerent the right or Op
pOrtunity to use the neutral port as {
basis of supplies or of hostilities. The
United States, in the Alabama case
claimed and the arbitrators agreed
with them, that England should be
held strictly responsible for permitting
the Confederates to get aid and com
fort in her ports.
The United States, whatever hel
moral influence may be over these Isl
ands, will not attempt to break the
force of laws which she has enforced
upon Great Britain.
These Islands until annexed by act OF
Congress, are neutral territory. The
United States will observe the neu-
trality. If it cam only he maintained
by removing the warships from our
harbor, they will be removed. No at
tempt will be made to put us in an
equiVocaI position, and expose us to a
Spanish attack remote and improbable
as it may be.
On the other hand, if Congress is
now made to believe that the occupa-
ton of these Islands, at the present
moment, is an urgent military neces-
sity, the treaty of ratification will now
be made, and the next mail will an
nounce it. But it will not be done, of
course, without sending an adequate
fleet to protect us.
The probabilities are, we presume,
that the Islands will cut no figure in
the war now probably in progress.
Spain will not scatter her forces in the
Pacific
AS all the world knows the quantity
Of American trade between our ports
and San Francisco, there may be some
temptation to Spanish privateers.
Among the many difficulties privateers
would be confronted with, would be
that of taking captured ships to the
Spanish prize courts. They could be
reached only by long and tedious voy-
ages. Besides, if the principle is adj
kered to on both sides that free ships
make free goods, the Hawaiian flag is
quite sufficient to protect all American |
property afioat, if it is not contraband. |
The American coasting trade on the |
Atlantic has an immense value. Elk |
posed as it will be to Spanish attack,
it will have one decided advantage. It |

The enthusiasm over General Fitz-

Department at Washington, on his re-
turn from Cuba, was unusual 1t must
have been deeply gratifying to him to
