STORY OF 4 CHINESE HERO.
Thirty-Six Hours Fight Against
wind, Waves and Exhaustion.
From the Youths Communion

FROM the Youths Companion.
Heroes are OF all nations A story told
by Mr.. Granville Sharp of Hong Kong
concerns the deed of a Chinaman who has
as good right to the title Of hero as any
man who ever stepped aboard a boat
Mr.. Sharp was on steamer chartered
by the French government to take troops
and admiralty stores from Hong Kong TO
ToTon. the first French settlement In
China.
The captain had been ordered to make
Inquiries of the fishing boats In the bay re-
speeding some Frenchmen who had been
cast away While pursuing his inquiries
he was so unfortunate as to run his steam
er over rock To save her from total
loss he beached her. and then engaged
two Chinese junks TO take him and his
crew to Hong Kong
The crew went in the larger junk. while
Mr. Sharp went with the captain In the
smaller one, which presently met with a
terrible typhoon, lasting more than two
days. Masts and bulwarks were swept
away and the rudder broken. The Chi
nese captain of the junk, together with his
crew, believing that death was at hand.
went below, got some opium and became
insensible.
Fortunately three Chinese dremen, taken
from the steamer, were on the junk. They
had been fishermen and knew the coast
TO these three men the Junk was commit
ted, and they handled 1t as best they
could in such storm. Three times the
rudder was broken, and three times they
repaired It.
OF the three men only one was able TO
steer well enough to save the damaged
rudder He had to keep a constant watch
upon the waves. and be ready to ease off
the wind as they approached With no
one to relieve him this man stood at his
task, the rain falling In streams without
cessation.
For thirty-six hours the brave fellow
never once let go his hold. A boy stood by
him and put food between his lips at in
tervals, to afford him strength to continue
his almost hopeless task lie saved the
junk and all aboard her and won his
place among the heroes of the world.

GENERAL JIMINEZ'S ARREST.
Not Ordered by Brooke. IL IL said,
Hut Procured by Conner.

HABANA, August LIT is asserted
that the arrest of General Isidro Jiminez,
the aspirant to the presidency OF Santo
Domingo. who was captured on board
steamer at Genfuegos yesterday, just as
the steamer was about leaving that port,
was not caused by orders from Habana.
Immediately upon learning of the arrest,
Maior-General Brooke the Governor-Gen-
eral Of Cuba, gave orders for the release
of the prisoner.
The friends OF General Jiminez claim
that his arrest was due TO General Maxi
mo Gomez, who is supposed 10 have in
formed the authorities about his depar-
ture.
1t is said that about four months ago
Gomez promised Jiminez he would do all
in his power to help the latter become
President of Santo Domingo. but that the
relations between the two men have since
cooled because of the formers Jealousy.
1t is asserted that General Wilson did
not give the order for the arrest, but
merely notified General Brooke that the
arrest had been made. Nobody seems TO
know exactly by what authority Jiminez
was taken into custody.
