NANIEDREFUND|NGBON
BUT MINISTER DAMON KNEW ALL
ABOUT THEM.
The City of Santa Cruz Did Not and
Lost Three-Quarters of a Million
Dollars Thereby.

Readers of this paper will remem-
Der published account of the visit
of Messrs. Stanton and Pearson to
this city and their efforts to induce
Minister Damon and the government
to let them have the handling of the
refunding bonds authorized to be is
sued by the Legislature. Also that
Minister Damon refused to have any
thing to do with them on the ground
that their credentials were not as
good as they might have been.
That Minister Damon was wise has
become known to many since the rem
dition of a judgment in the United
States court at San Francisco in
case which has been fought bitterly
since last December. The city of San
Ia Cruz issued bonds to the amount
of $720,00O, and entrusted them to
broker named Walter Stanton to be
sold. Stanton sold the bonds to
large number of persons in different
eastern cities, collected the money
and never delivered it to the city of
Santa Cruz, but applied it to his own
uses.
The city of Santa Cruz, having new
er received the consideration, refused
to acknowledge its liability for prin-
cipal or interest on the bonds. The
several holders assigned their bonds
to Albert H. Waite, who sued the city
for the interest due.
Judge de Haven found that Waite's
assignors were bona fide purchasers
of the bonds without notice of the in
tended fraud and their right to recov-
er perfect. The city of San Cruz must
suffer for the delinquency of its ag-
ent. Although the Judgment is for
interest only, it settles the liability
of the city for the principal also.
Minister Damon said this morning
that he received letters by the next
steamer after Stanton arrived here,
telling all about his operations with
the Santa Cruz bonds. and knowing
his record, refused to do business
with him.

SICK AND NO HOSPITAL TO LAY
HIS WEARY LIMBS.
Waif Who has Slept for Three Weeks
in the Open-A Very Sad Story of a
Sick Man.

Suffering, without home, without
money, without chance of work, has
been the fate of Ole Solen. natural
lied citizen of the United States, and
when he applied to his consul there
was nothing to be done for him. ex-
cept by private means, and at his own
expense Consul Haywood sent him to
the hospital.
Ole Solen came to these Islands
about seven months ago. He had been
more or less sick since his arrival and
has desired TO get back to the coast.
He was perfectly willing to work and
effort was made to get him place to
work his passage to the coast, but
captains objected because if he fell
sick on their hands they would have
to discharge him and give him full
months wages.
For the last three weeks this poor,
man has slept out of doors. He has
heart trouble, swelling of the ankles,
and kidney disease. Could there be a
more pitiful case?
But on these beautiful Islands we
have hospital which can only be
used free by the aboriginees. Though
we charge every person who comes
into the country 50 towards the hos
pital, we can let man rot on the
beach. rather than help him, unless
someone comes forward from a pri-
vate purse. Why should every tour
list, every returning passenger. paw
hospital tax and not one of his own
race reap a benefit?

IRVING AND TERRY.
The Great English Actor and Actress
VIII Tour the States.

LONDON, September 30.-Sir Hen
ry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry have
again joined dramatic forces after a
summers separation. They began to
play together this week in Birming-
ham. Next week they come to Lon
don. During the winter they will go
to America for an extensive tour. Sir
Henry said today, concerning the sto-
ries that he and Miss Terry had quar-
relied and parted company:
There is absolutely no truth in
the reports. Such stories come from a
certain class of irresponsible writers
who take delight in SANDER, and 1 on
ly regret that reputable newspapers
should copy these mendacious state
ments.
"Miss Terry and hope to make one
more tour of the United States, but
we want to take some new plays with
us as well as our old ones. Perhaps
We shall take Richard III. That is
new to the rising generation. As a
matter of fact, more than forty years
have passed since its last production
on London stage.
"We may also play Robespierre,
which Sardou has written for us and
in which Miss Terry will have a fine
opportunity. A new version of Cyra-
no de Bergerac is almost completed
for me, but at present I cannot tell
the name of the adaptor."

CITY OF COLUMBIA CASES.
SUPREME COURT SAYS BONDS
MUST BE GIVEN.
In Amount Not Less Than the Value
of the Claims Unless by Agreement
of Counsel.

In the City of Columbia cases the
supreme court in an opinion written
by Justice Whiting, holds that in or
der to release the vessel pending the
appeals in the cases recently decided
by Judge Perry, libellants are entitl-
ed to bond of not less than the value
of their claims, unless by stipulation
a smaller amount may be agreed on
by the litigants.
Following this the court says eve
have held that the appeal suspends the
decree and that the vessel remains in
the custody of the circuit court until
the termination of the litigation but
we are of opinion that the circuit
Judge in admiralty in keeping the
res still retains jurisdiction to or
der an appraisal of the vessel and to
allow security by bond or otherwise
to be substituted. An order to the
circuit court in admiralty will be
granted directing such court to retain
custody of the vessel until the termi-
nation of the litigation, and further,
to release the vessel upon the filing
of stipulation for value or a suffi-
cient bond with proper sureties."
The court also holds that sufficien-
cy of the bond for release is to be
measured not by the amount of a
judgment but by the value of the ves-
sell Counsel for Rose Berliner having
stated in open court that he will ac-
cept bond in the sum of $4,000. that
sum for the purposes of her libel may
be taken as the valuation of the YES
sell"
Hon. Paul Neumann sat with the
supreme court on these cases in place
of Justice Frear.

A NEW KIND OF FIRE.
Cannot be Quenched by Either Water
or Earth.

BERLIN, September PA new and
highly important invention was test
ed at the German naval maneuvers
ending this week. 1t was in the shape
of a Greek-Phoenician fire, invented
by q Berlin engineer. 1t ignites on
contact with the air or water, and it
cannot be quenched by either water
or earth. 1t burns with brilliant
flame, exceeding big searchlights, and
it can be sunk under water or under
ground and when brought to the sur
face instantly bursts into flame at
any desired point. 1t was tested dur
ing the night evolutions off the island
of Heligoland, and proved most eff
cient in detecting the presence of IN
enemy.

TYPEWRITERS!!

In no line of mechanics is excellence
of construction of such vital import
ance as in Typewriters.
The PEERLESS is especially noted
for its durability, simplicity and it's
speed.
Considering first cost only the
PEERLESS is not one of the So
called "cheap machines" but looking
at it from a business point of view,
comparing quantity and quail
ity of work, loss of time from break
downs on steamer days, when the
Typewriter is most needed, and cost
of repairs, as well as the life of the
Typewriter, the PEERLESS is with
out an equal and is the cheapest ma
chine on the market.
