safe. He is allowed to occasionally

strictly watched, and at night is
locked up. The rebels demand a
very heavy ransom ere they will re-

THE LAFAYETTE BLAcKMAIL

We should not have made any
further reference to the action of
the Board of Education in regard to
the proposed Compulsory" subscrip
tion by school-children and their
friends for the Lafayette fund, il
Mr.. Cooper had possessed common
sense enough to cancel his "by
authority" advertisement, after every
newspaper, on behalf of the public,
had entered protest against the
outrageous proposition for robbipg
our poor school-children OF their
promises and nickels for purpose,
in which they in NO way can be in
terested
Minister Cooper and Mr.. Town
send persist, however, in placarding
their 'by authority" advertisement,
in which they call upon the teachers
under the Board of Education to
enforce the Lafayette blackmail,
and it will be necessary for the press
aud the public to take drastic
measures TO show to the poor people
that it is their duty to refuse de-
voting one cent for the purpose OF
helping along scheme, which, if it
should he successful, may result in
a complimentary letter TO Mr..
Townsend and perhaps rosette of
the Legion OF Honor for Mr..
Cooper.
Let it be remembered that the
people OF Hawaii failed to subscribe
sufficient money for the erection of
a monument for King Kalakaua,
who made the country rich and
filled the pockets of our planters by
securing the reciprocity treaty.
The sugar barons forgot Kala-
kaua, as soon as he was dead, as
they forget anybody else, who have
become Useless to them in politics
and otherwise. The Government,
which represents their interests,
does not ask the sugar planters to
put up for Lafayette's monument
they have probably had enough in
putting up for Thurston, Morgan
& Co., but it demands that the
teachers shall levy tax on the poor
children Of tho country for pur-
pose which can never bring any
good to them or the Hawaiian Isl.
ands.
II there is a spark OF honesty and
sense left in the Board Of Education
the action of Messrs. Cooper and
Townsend will be disavowed, and
the "by authority" advertisement
will be cancelled. If not it will be
the duty of the combined English
Portuguese and Hawaiian press tc
issue circular letter warning
parents and children against contri
buting one cent for the Lafayette
fund.

Advance Naval Expedition is Vel
Equipped.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The ad-
vanced guard of the naval expedi-
tion for Honolulu and eventually
for Manila started yesterday when
the Abarenda sailed from Fortress
Monroe via Brazil. The Abarenda
is a collier, one of four which are to
keep the big battleships Oregon and
Iowa supplied with coal on their
long voyage around South America
The plan is to have two of the col.
liers precede the battle-ships and
two to go along with them.
In addition to these escorting
craft Acting Secretary Allen to-day
ordered that the Celtic and Iris be
added to the expedition. The Celtic
is a refrigerator and supply ship
and the Iris is a distilling ship
Their capacity is enormous, and Mr.
Allen said that no such perfectly
equipped naval expedition ever sail
ed under any flag. With their large
reserve supply of coal, with an
abundance OF refrigerated fresh
meats and vegetables, with ap-
pliances and plant for making re-
pairs to machinery, aud finally, with
an abundance of fresh water, the
squadron will be able to keep the
seas for an indefinite period OF time

HELD FOR COURT.
SALISBURY GIVEN A HEARING
AT THE ELKTON JAIL.
Miss Alice Settle TeStifles That the Pris-
oner Is the Right Man.-MaglStrate
Philip M. Groves Holds Him
Under $4,000 Bail.

Under $4,000 Bail.
Miss Alice Settle came to Elkton, last
FRIDAY afternoon, and appeared against
Eugene Salisbury, colored charged with
having assaulted this young lady, her sister
Miss Sarah Settle, and Miss Sarah Dengler.
OF Philadelphia, who was visiting tho
Misses Settle, while driving to their homo
at Leeds on the evening Of June Goth.
The hearing was very private one and
was held in the Elkton Jail office. Onlv
about half dozen persons were present. tho
public being in ignorance that the hearing
was going on.
Mics Alice Settle was the only witness
present. She gave description of how the
negro had attacked them, and without
hesitating declared that Salisbury was the
man. She also testified that while she and
the prisoner were struggling in the road
Salisbury called her by name. She stated,
the coat and hat showed her, which were
worn by Salisbury when arrested were
exactl, like those worn by her assailant.
Miss Sarah Settle is still suffering from
| the fracture of her collar bone, and was
unable TO attend.
Salisbury did not take the stand in his
own defense, and sat during the hearing
very much unconcerned.
There were three charges against the
prisoner and Magistrate Philip M. Groves
al f,r 81 H.
| of the September term of Circuit Court,
under 81, 800 ball. which he was unable to
secure and was again lodged in the Jail.
The assault took place near what is
known as Dogwood Run, on the Elkton
and Leeds road
The young ladies had driven to Elkton
early in the evening and were returning
home a short while before 8 o'clock. I'm
conscious Of any danger they drove along
in fancied security when from ambush a
negro man sprang upon them. They
applied the whip to the horse but the man
seized the animals bride and leading the
horse to one side of the road grasped hold
of Miss Sarah Settle and drew her from the
carriage. She fell heavily to the road re-
| ceivlng fracture to her collar bone Miss
Alice Settle sprang from the carriage to her
sisters assistance and with the whip in
hand did her best to beat off the iend, who
began fierce attack upon both ladies'.
Despite her injuries Miss Sarah Settle
struggled bravely while her sister having
lost hold of the whip, attacked the man
with hat pin. Miss Dengler did all in her
power and seeing the inevitable result
unless help arrived quickly, drove hur-
riedly to the home of Dennis Mullen
nearby. Mr.. Mullen and his son Adam,
had heard the young ladies' cries and were
going to their assistance when they met
Miss Dengler, who suggested that they fire
their pistols with the view of frightening
the negro off, while approaching. This
was done with the result, that upon hear
ing help coming, the man fled.
The counsel for the prisoner was Albert
Constable, Jr., and William S. Evans ap-
peared for the State.
