SEARCH FOR THE WRECK
THE REAL MISSION OF THE
BENNINGTON.
Has Orders to Find and Destroy the
Derelict Reported by the Barkentine
Archer.

The Bennington has gone in search
of the derelict encountered by the
barkentine Archer on her trip from
San Francisco, an account of which
was published exclusively in The
Star.
Admiral Miller says that a study of
the currents and winds which have
prevailed since the time the derellct
was encountered would indicate that
it is drifting in the direction of Maui.
IL was encountered by the Archer at
, o'clock in the morning of February
oath in Latitude 21 degrees "a minutes
North, Longitude 154 degrees SO min
utes West. about 175 miles from Dia-
mond Head.
The Bennington left yesterday FOR
target practice at Lahaina. But her
orders from Admiral Miller were to
keep sharp lookout for the derelict,
and to cruise about in search of it.
When found such steps are to be ia
ken to destroy this menace to naviga-
ton as the circumstances indicate are
necessary. If she finds and de-
stroys this derelict she will per-
form quite an important duty. Navi-
gators and shipping men are interest
ed to know what vessel this derelict
can be the wreck Of
The probable reason why the de-
relict has not been sighted since it
was seen by the Archer is that it has
been drifting out of the usual course
of vessels bound hther from San
Francisco.
There was a disposition in some
quarters to ridicule the report of TINS
derelict. But this action of Admiral
Miller shows that he considers it a
matter of Importance and places cred
ence in the accuracy of the report of
Captain Calhoun of the Archer.

With a force of 300 men, said to

ger Boote of the Spreckelsville plan
tation last Monday night carried the
plantation railroad track across the
Kahului Railroad Company's line,
about three miles from Wailuku, ex-
tending it to the old pier. The new
track is about 200 feet in length, and
in building it the Government road
was crossed in three places. without
permission. Grades are said to have
be thrown up across the road, leaving
the road in almost impossible condi-

firmed by letters from Manager Berg
of the Kahului Railway Company and
others received in today's mail by the

THE WAR CHIEF.
Governor McCOrd Wants to Go
 to the Philippines.
TGazatto 1


 The announcement made Saturday afternoon that Governor McCord des- fred to go to the Philippines at the head of a regiment of Arizona infantry created great surprise. No intimation of his inten ton had been made outside of his most intimate and confidential advisers. The governor, however, it is stated, has had the matter under con- sideration for some time and the call for troops to go to Manila has evidently fired his bllood to be in the front.
 Governor McCord is no longer a young man He has been in public life for many years but is remarkably we'll preserved physically. He has been deeply interested in the present war preparations and has pushed Arizona to the fore in the public gaze. That he is in earnest about going to the Philip pines cannot be questioned.
 Governor McCord Saturday afternoon sent the following message to President Mckinley:
 Executive Department, Territory of Arizona. Office of the Governor, Phoenix, Arizona, May 7, 1898.
 To the President, Washington, DC.
 would like permission to raise and lead & regiment to go to the Philippines or elsewhere. could use the National Guard composed of six hundred well drilled and well officered men and the balance could be enlisted quick National GuaTdcould soon be replaced. There would be abs Iutely no danger to the territory by this, as with regular troops the militia and many organi- cations of minute men and home guards now organized, absolute protection is guaranteed. If given permission to raise this regiment and go with 1t, Iwould acceptleave of absence without pay or resign. Conld have regiment ready muster in six days We are only thlrty-six hours from San Francisco

 They beg every day in the week along the streets Of Havana, but Saturday IS the legal holiday; that Is to say, while the police make no attempt whatever to interfere with the mendieants on other days, they encourage the practice on Saturday by contributing their oRH mite. It is the most common lining in the world to find a business man abso lutely refuse to gives aims during the first six days of the week, but on the last day nearly every solicitor of char ity who may visit his store receives something or otber.

"LOVe and War"
MYRON II. McCORD.
 Governor of Arizona

tStar
 A good war story comes from No- gales. A popular young business man down there, was between two horns of a serious dilemma. He was in love, and he wanted to go to war.
 One day this week he confded to some friends that he couldn't t stand the strain any longer. and that he meant to propose. eff I am accepted, I won't go to the war. Ifnot you can count on me-" said he.
 Wednesday he appeared with beam ing face and announced to tbe boys that he bad decided not to go to war The inference is that he pleaded his love successfully. and there will no doubt be heard the ringing of merry wedding bells in NogaIes ere long.
