A CHEERFUL LIAR.

In our issue of August lith We gave an account of the experience of two men, named Joseph Buthon and Albert Swanson, who went mp tho Stikeeu riy- CT to the north of the lskoot. aud turned up the latter and after going a distance of about fifty miles lost their boat and all is contents in th" rapids that the swift curreat would not permit them to ascend. The former of the two meu was from st. Louis, Mo-, and the latter from Duluth They were out on prospecting tour and did not intend to go into the klondike country, so that whether the Stihtcn river route is a failure or not, would in no event affect their plans. The mon after los ing their boat and contents were twen- ty days in getting back to the Stikeen river where they were picked np by Capt. Murray of the Monte Cristo, more dead than alive. The News man interviewed both parties and correctly reported all the men said. A man by the name of |. Cassidy claims to have been on the Monte Crioto and when he arrived at Victoria on August 22nd, he gave representative of the Seattle Times statement concerning the eN- perience of the two men. which appear ed in that paper on the date named.
 The head of the article, the colored ,,rt of l,. flu, coupled with that part that don't con tain any truth whatever, furnishes pret- ty strong evidence that some very cheerful lying. has been engaged i'll, con corning the matter. In the first place the men are not father and son and their names are not Jargensou. The old man is q ftill blooir1 German and the other a Swede. They are not from Seattle their homes are where We stated, St. Louis and Duluths One was not boy of l9 but a man of 21. They were in the woods 70 days-not Is.
 The article concludes MT. Cassidy says this is one of the many horrors the Stikcen will produce. It is prob able that the elder man cannot rally
 Now We would like for any one to in form us what connection there is be- tween the Stikeen river route and the hard luck these men had up the lskoot river, which never was claimed to be q route to the Yukon. If Mr. Cassidy, who makes himself hero in his ac- count. can possibly explain how the full blood German and the Swede were father and son, and his other misrepre- sentations on any other theory than that he lied, he has our permission to do SD

THE MONO.

Ter Trial Trip.-A Fine Boat. Jolly Crowd
 The Mono has always been favorite i'll this city. She was built on the Stik cen river and when she Was got ready and started for St. Miehaels, every body was far from pleased. Then came the news that she was on the rocks thirty miles below and would prove total loss. The poor Mono,' said every body and every body mourned. But luck willed it otherwise and for three weeks there was nice weather and during that time she was fixed up some and floated off the rocks and with steam in her boiler. she returned home, the place she ought never to have left. Since her return she has been put in first class shape and today she made her trial trip. There were a number of peo- pie invited to join the crew, and their names are as follows:
 Mr. and Mrs. McKinuon, MT. and Mrs. Dr. Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. Rob ert Reid, Mrs. Cagle, Miss J. Mcintyre, Miss Schneider, Col. Crittenden, Judge Jackson, Jno. w. Holiday, Mr. and Mrs Patenand, MT. and MT. A. G. Mcbride, Mrs. Zimmerman, MT. Stowe, K. B.. Goran, MT. and Mrs. Henry Drum, Miss C..C. Mcintyre, Mrs. Strong and s. Barber and Misses Sylvester
 The officers of the Mono are F. P. Armstrong, master and captain; Walter Gray, mate; Charles R. Weddleton, chief engineer; A. M. Taylor, assistant and Albert E. Henderson, the man who built the boat, ships carpenter. Any body that knows the men will say the combination is all right and that bet ter crew never straddled gang plank.
 About three o'clock the Mono gave a short toot and the lines were freed from the dock and away we went at a We going? Why, down to see the place where the Mono was on the rocks, but We didn't get there. Some twelve miles out the rain began to descend and many predicted a storm. Capt. Arm. strong would run no chances, and turned about and returned to the city about p. m. Everybody said the Capt. did just right. Now the people that were on board of the Mono had very pleasant time. Everybody seemed to feel good and looked happy. There was everything to make one happy. That dinner that was served to the guests was all that the appetite could wish. The tea and coffee-there could be no better. In truth, everything was just all right. There was an abundant SUD- ply of good cigars and the best drink ing water we ever tasted. We delayed the issuing of this paper in order that we might report this trip. This is all we will say concerning it, for want of space, and if you are going somewhere, go on the Mono if you can.

An eastern paper in referring to the treatment of the captured Spaniards, says our commanders are exhibiting an exaggerated generosity to our fallen foes and tunes mocking sentence to "chivalry and that sort of thing" The base cynic who expressed that idea was very pretty fellow. Jests are healthy if they are merry jests, but the man who makes q mockery of noble impulses does damnable deed. We are not all born with heroic souls, yet
 we admire the acts of generous and brave men, and sometimes try to emu late them. It does us good and it does our neighbors good. If chivalry is q thing to be laughed at, God pity us, we are becoming cheap and nasty. But
 thank goodness, the people still love the hero, whether the hero be the real thing or the equivalent by laudable eff forts.-Skagit County (Wash.) Times.

of the Cuban army and pilot,
who are carrying important dis
patches to Senior Estrada Palma

Alexandra Rodriguez, the insur-

The Cubans were taken on board
on Saturday last from an auxiliary
gunboat which had picked them
up, The messengers of General
Rodriguez gave very interesting
account of their experiences.
After leaving the insurgent camp
they made their way into the city
OF Havana, spent several days
there, proceeded to a small inlet in
the neigh borhood, stole a small
boat and rowed out to sea in ine
hope of coming across an Ameri-
can vessel. They were three days
in the boat before they we're pick
sd up. The Cubans report that
Sore are no supplies of rice
maize, potatoes or eggs in Havana
Flour, they say, costs so cents q
pound and the army has been
placed on half rations.
The messengers class as false the
statement that vessels have sue
ceeded in entering Havana harboi
with supplies.
