LET'S HEAR THE OTHER SIDE
or the s,ory-.wMn, Il Oh, Had rhey

or the Story--Whnt Il gI,t Had They to
Hoist the american Flag!
{ SAN DIEGO, Cal, Dec. :l.-The
steamer Albion arrived to-day from u
months cruise down the coast and her
passengers tell Of rather high-handed
proceeding at Clipperton Island on the
part of the Mexican sunboat Demo-
crata, being no less than the hauling
down Of the stars and stripes by an
armed force landed for the purpose, and
In spite Of the protests there employed,
and the raising of the Mexican flag.
The story told Is as follows:
Our trip down the coast as far rs
Santo Domingo was void OF any partlc-
uiar incident" said Roscoe Howard, one
OF the passengers.
On our return we took on sailor at
Acapulco, and from him I learned that
he had been brought to that port by the
Mexican gunboat Democratic from Clip
perton'Island. He, with two other men.
had been employed by a Suano COM
pany TO take charge of about 1900 tons
or guano that was stored in the ware
houses on the island. and when they
were landed there some nine months
ago, they hosted the American flag and
notified, the secretary of state Of their
action. On December IA the Democratic
dropped anchor 4 short distance from
the island and sent q boats Grew OF
marines to the island, but on attempt
Ing to land the boat was dashed against
n coral reef and suffered considerable
damage. Finally the marines were
landed, and after an official ceremony
the stars aud stripes were hauled down
from the flag pole that had been erected
by the Americans, and in its place the
Mexican flag was hois:ed. X, y
Having taken formal possession of
the island, the marines withdrew and
notified the men Who remained on the
Island not to allow any one to take away
the Suuno under penalty of violating the
MeXican laws. The island Is about
500 miles Off the Mexican coast, almost
due west from Acapulco, and Is known
as the Atcll or coral reef. 1t Is about
400 miles in circumference. Two palm
trees. constitute the sole vegetation on
the island, which Is the home OF millions
of sea fowl. Thousands of tons Of the
richest guano Is TO be found on the ISL
ard and represents its sole worth, apart
from the value Of the coral. When the
marines landed to take possession Of the
island In behalf Of Mexico they were
fully armed and prepared to do battle
with whatever resistance might be Of

The Railway Age will make the fol-.
lowing statement OF the receiverships
and foreclosures for 1897: No year since
1887 has shown SO few roads or so small

New Years Attraction.

Judging BY the size OF the audiences
which haVe, assembled at The Grand to
see "a Jay in New York." and the en-
thuslasm they have manifested. bet
ter choice for New Years attraction
could not have been made by Manager
Feinler. William Jerome in his. own
parodies, and Maud Nugent, the author
OF Sweet Rosie O'Grady," in several
songs of her own composition, will no
doubt prove big drawing card. The
remainder. OF the company is uniformly
strong, and each contributes very
pleasing speciality. The closing feature,
the cinematograph animated pictures,
are really excellent, and SUSTAIN the
claim of the inventor Of this wonderful
machine. that all others are but Int
tators. The sale OF seats for both
matinee and evening performances has
been very large.
