The gold whistle and the gold
breast-plate of the dictator of the Phil
ippines suggest trouble. That kind of
man is without thought save as to his
personal glorification, and his vanity
will have to be eliminated before he
has room in his head for decent set
of brains. So far the dudes of our
army and navy have done excellently.
it being understood that a dude is a
man who is not ashamed to dress prop
erly and wear backing on his boots;
but the man of the little whistle will
be apt to toot himself into some folly
for the lack of a guardian. However,
it is comforting to reflect that his
pomposity didn't lead him to proclaim
himself with a fog-horn.

BRITISH CAPTAINS TROUBLES.
He is Arrested as Accessory 10 The MUIR
der of an Unknown sailor

NORFOLK. VA. Nov. 2G.-Special-
The troubles Of CAPTAIN y. V. Munroe, Of
the British sailing snip Canada, now iy-
ing at Lamberts Point, have apparently
bur just begun. He was arraigned in
the Police court to-day upon the charge
OF being accessory after the fact TO the
murder by his first officer, Crosby, of a
sailor whose name Is unknown. The
hearing was postponed however, until
Thursday next because OF the absence
through illness OF sailors boarding house
keeper John Moran, a witness.
Captain MunrOe was arrested later upon
q caplas and incarceratcd pending the
procurement of bail in $4,000
The last action was taken at the in
stance of =. j. Morris, attorney for Geo.
Greenfield, second mate and j. j. Webb.
boatswain of the Canada, who have sued
Captain Munroe for $1,000 damages, al
Ieging that they were falsely arrested
upon o. warrant sworn out By him before
Justice Lopez at Lamberts Point.
This warrant, IL is stated, charged the
men with refusing TO 90 aboard snip and
and dignity Of the Commonwealth OF NIr-
ginia" and is held TO be irregular.
Captain MunrOe asserts that there IS
nothing I'm either of the cases and upon
the surface there does not appear 10 nf
much Attorney Morris, however, says
that great cruelty has been practced
aboard the Canada and much injustice
done the crew. The matter appears IKE
~ 10 be fought at length in the courts
and Captain MunrOe may be detained
here Indefinitely. The affair was not
without is ludicrOus side as 10 appeared
to-day in court. The absoluteism or the
ship's captain when aboard his snip at
sea and his apparent helplessness when
in the tolls of lawyers ashore was most
striking.
