The detailing of Captain Dennis
 Geary to command the first detach- ment of artillery to go to the Philip pines is a well deserved compliment to that officer, Captain Geary has spent the greater portion of his life in the regular and National Guard service. He came to San Francisco a dozen years ago with the First United States Artillery, having served with that regi- ment as private. corporal, sergeant and first sergeant for fifteen years Firing of the army he secured an appointment on the police force here and joined the old Third Infantry. His rise in the National Guard was rapid, and when the consolidation of the three regi- ments in this city took place two years ago he was retired as colonel of artil- lery. When the call for volunteers came Colonel Geary was among the first to respond. His response to Governor Budd's query as to what he wanted was characteristic of the man. Budd was besieged by applicants for com missions, and when he turned to Colonel Geary he supposed that nothing short of general would be asked for He

A dispute over the title to the Utah
Volunteer and Utahnian mining claims
in the Little Cottonwood district re-
suited yesterday in the instituting of
proceedings by Joseph ]. Burnswood
against William Hatfield, Henry c.
Wallace, c. M. Broush and the Albion
Mining company for possession of the
property and damages.
Plaintiff alleges that he is the owner

Sept. 8, this year, the defendants with
a large force of rough and desperate
characters armed with shotguns and
rifles, entered upon the premises and
drove him off, since which time they
have held possession of the property.
The complaint further alleges that
since taking possession defendants
have destroyed the locks and doors
leading to the underground workings,
as we'll as personal property belonging
to plaintiff.
The plaintiff asks judgment in the
sum of $4,000 for being deprived of pos
session of the property, $500 as the
value of rents and profits, $1,000 for
damages done to the premises by de-
PENDANTS, $500 as the value of ore dis
posed of by defendants. He further

THE ROSE OF HILO.
Beautiful Hawaiian Girl For Queen
of a Kansas Carnival.

San Francisco, Sept. 22-Miss Annie
Rose of Hilo, Hawaiian islands, now
here on her way to Topeka, Kan,
where she is to reign as queen of the
carnival, has created a decidedly ia
vorable impression. She is typical of
her race, her mother being a native
Hawaiian of the full-blood and her
father a German. Like most of the
part Hawaiians, she resembles the
mothers side. She is a decidedly hand
some girl, tall and large, with a skin
between cream and olive, and black
curling hair. Her eyelashes are long
and sweeping, and they also curl. Her
eyes are dark and expressive, and the
charm of her face lies in her peculiarly
sweet smile. In manner she is gracious
and charming. Her English is perfect
and without the slightest accent. Only
in the tones of her voice and in her
swinging step does she betray her an
cestry. After her arrival on the Ala
media she visited the Preside and wit
messed a dress parade given in her
honor by the Kansas regiment. She
has already been measured for her
state robes. and ON Friday she will
start for Topeka, stopping only at Sac
ramento and Hutchinson, Kan. She is
only 10 years of age and has never been
outside of her native islands before.
