to hold up the Angeles camp stage near
Altaville, Calaveras county. Messen-
gers Jackson and Mcconnell of Wells

TO SEIZE GROWN LANDS.
Is Said to Be the Mission of General
Compton to Hawaii

San Francisco, March 25.-The Call
says: 1.-THE mission of Gen. Charles E.
Compton to the Hawaiian islands is the
subject of great speculation in federal
circles in this city. Gen. Compton sailed
on the Alameda a few days ago for
Honolulu. While no one is in a posi-
ton to explain authoritatively the pur-
pose of the distin guished soldiers jour
ney it is understood from excellent
sources that he has gone to Honolulu
to seize the crown lands of the former
monarchy and by authority of the
American government settle dispute of
ownership that involves property worth
millions off dollars.
1T is something more than coincident
that Paul Neumann left Washington a
short time ago and is now on his way
to Honolulu. Neumann is one of the
closest advisers of the ex-queen and in
he would be of invaluable assistance"

THE RESULT OF THE DINNERS.

TX IHAT was revealed by indirecton and some
| \AI what indistnctly by the Jefferson banquets al
AA Milwaukee and at the Metropolitan Opera
House in New York has been made clear by the
dollar dinner at the Grand Central Palace IN the
latter city on Saturday evening Colonel Bryan re-
mains the leader OF the Democratic party. There may
be plots against him among the Eastern bosses who
despair OF carrying their States for free silver but
the rank and file of Democracy is with him, and his
hold upon the discontented classes is apparently as
strong to-day as it was in 1890
The situation is not easy to understand. Bryanism
was defeated by an overwhelming majority at the
polls 1896 and again in the Congressional elections
Of 1895 Under that banner Democracy has met
nothing but disaster, and is weaker and more
demoralized than ever before in the history of the
country Western States that were for free silver in
90 gave Republican majortes last year, and in
the South the tone of the more influential papers has
been adverse continuance Of the Chicago policy.
Yet in the face OF all these evidences OF public re-
pudation when the Democratic leaders OF the West
and OF the East meet to honor the memory of the
founder OF their party, Bryan is the only among
them who is anywhere greeted a national leader.
1t is probable Bryan's hold on the rank and file
OF his party is due mainly to the courage with which
he stands by his convictions and his uncompromising
adherence to the Chicago platform. Force OF char
acter, decision and resolution hardly fail to win
when combated only by weakness, doubt and hesita-
ton. The Democratic masses must have leader and
party cry. The conservative dignitaries furnish
neither Bryan comes forward takes the leaders
place and formuates policy. Is it any wonder the
masses follow him, leaving the timid conservatives
chattering in the rear?
AS net result OF the expressions of Democratic
sentiment at the banquets may conclude that un-
A.
year will be the part Of the Democrats attempt
to array the West and the South against the East,
the poor against the rich the dscontened against the
prosperous and the lawless against the law The de-
mand for free silver is but part of the cry that the
people are being crushed by the money power, that
liberty is being stiAed by monopoly and that pros
perity and wealth synonymous with dishonesty
and corruption.
Such is the Of the expressions of the ten
dollar banquet at the Metropolitan Opera House
as we'll as of the dollar dinner at the Grand
Central Palace. Colonel Bryan has captured New
York and reasserted his supremacy in his party.
When at the latter feast John Clark Ridpath
spoke of Thomas Jefferson as the most in
telectual Democrat that ever lived" hundred voices
shouted, mo, no; Bryan, Bryan" There is fanatic
zeal in the crusade of the silvertes which must run
its course and fortunately the stability of American
common sense is sufficient to prevent it from being
any serious danger to the republic. 1t has been
beaten twice, and in Iooo like the fanatic dervshes at
Omdurman will be wiped off the earth

THE SAMOAN COMMISSION.

= ERNIANY has won what may be called the
I first trick in the game OF diplomacy to be played
- out with the Samoan Islands as stakes She de-
manded that the commission representing the three
powers should have no authority unless unani-
nous, and the demand has been conceded by the
United States and Great Britain.
AS the British Government for some time opposed
the requirement for unanity, the concession OF the
point constitutes what is noted the German victory,
and the political opponents OF the Salisbury admins
traton making party capital out OF it by denounc-
ing the concession surrender OF British interests.
The Germans on the other hand, are we'll pleased
with the hrmness OF their Government while we are
not much affected one way the other.
1t is fortunate the United States in a position
and in mood to act impartialy on the issue Ger
many certainly fully justified in demanding unan-
unity, for it is we'll known the Americans and the
British in the Samoan Islands have long since pooled
their interests and have for years been acting almost
as unit. For the Germans to have entered into a
council of three and permitted majority to rule on
all issues would under such circumstances have been
virtually giving up the game. 1t is very the
start that Great Britain and America will vote on
the same side on almost every point that comes up,
and the Germans would be at serious disadvantage
but for the unanimty rule.
There is however considerable force in the British
objection to the German plan. 1t may lead to the
defeat of the object for which the commission has
been appointed. Either power under the unanmity
rule can block the game, and the settlement OF the
Samoan disturbances may be indefinitely postponed.
Americas prompt consent to the Berlin PROPOSE
ton, however, left Salisbury in position it was
automatically impossible to maintain Since the
United States and Germany, majority Of the parties
to the controversy, agreed upon the plan he could
not oppose them without opposing his own proposal
that the majority should rule. There was nothing to
do but to give in and is evidence of good sense
on his part that he made the concession promptly
Thus far everything has gone we'll enough with the
commission but it remains to be seen on how many
points they can unanimously agree. This Samoan
business is of the comic operas in which you
never know what is going to happen next

MILITARY CANCELLATION.

NUR invitations to the Fipinos and our treat
| ment of them correspond as imperfectly our
- theories and our practices at home. Conclia-
ton the announced leaven Of President McKin-
leys policy and method of conciating them is by
sending them the rife route to the home of eternal
peace. Barbarities have been described in letters
from soldiers that ought to fill the American heart
with indignation. Accounts OF massacres from au-
thentc sources have depicted scenes that equal in
ferocity any incidents in Persian or Roman history
in the Spanish invasion of the Netherlands or in the
Indian wars of the eighteenth and nineteenth CEN
turies.
Except to the blatant expansonists the attempt to
treat the Filipnos as rebels or insurgents and their
native land as purchase from Spain is revolving
But wholesale murder and cruelty degrade us to the
level Of savages In The Call OF Saturday revelation
was made which if not derived from reliable source
would have been incredible. A corporal, we regret
to say among the California Volunteers having been
specially commended for his bravery, in the unre-
strained freedom OF private letter writes from
Manila as follows
1--WE sleep all day here, as we do duty all night

walking the streets We make every one get into hi:
house by p. m, and we only tell a If he
| refuses we shoot him. We killed over 800 men tht
first night. They tried to set the town on fire. 1
they fire shot from house we burn the house dowr
and every house it and shoot the natives so they
are pretty quiet in town now"
This is the matter of-fact report OF young Ameri
can citizen, written in apparently soid unconscious
ness that to kill for once refusing retire to
his own house to commit arson and homicide by
the wholesale punishment for individual acts is
IN any way inconsistent with the principles of his
Government or the proprietes of American civiliza-
ton II an army to be trained abroad to destroy
our liberties at home, effective system could
be adopted. The quietude of the grave is as COM
plete in San Francisco in the capital OF the island
of Luzon.
Samson revenged himself upon the Philstines by
tying 300 foxes tail to tail, with frebrands between
them and then turning them loose If the 800 Fill
pinos had been tied back back with lighted tapers
between them and then driven through the streets Of
Manila, the butchery would have been equally salts
factory, their sufferngs more agonizing and the
destruction OF property more ruinous The Apaches
used to mutilate citizens in Arizona and in New
Mexico. If we have adopted them models we
ought to perfect limitations, and, with Our
superior intelligence, could soon invent and
ploy original forms OF refined cruelty
When the Civil War was raging President Lincoln,
under instructions from Congress, had Washington S
farewell address read every military post and at
the head of every regiment in the country After the
nightly carnival of blood and the manifestations of
American despotsm which this young corporal de-
scribes, the patriotic literature of his native land
would be hardly tolerated and much less appreciated.
The Call hopes that the attention of the admins
traton may be attracted by these reports from the
Philippines, which are becoming more and more
numerous, and that executive authority and drum
head courts-naral may relieve the situation that is
fast exceeding possible federation and inuring the
United States in the estimation OF Christendom.

Davenport, who are classed as regular
officers In addition there are three
Church of England, eighteen Roman

not designated chaplains.
Abdul Hamid, Sultan of Turkey, pays
out of his own pocket for the remodeling

that he will be reimbursed in the near
future by the usual customary popular
subscriptions, voluntary or otherwise, col
lected from Armenians and other sub
jects.
The alterations to the italian battle
ship Dandola have been completed. Her
four 105-ton guns have been removed and
four ten-inch of only twenty-nine tons
weight substituted, and the remainder of
the battery now consists of seven six-inch
and five 47-inch rifles. all quick-firers.
The single mast has also been removed
and two military masts with fighting tops
have been put in. The new battery is a
vast improvement upon the old. for al
though the penetration of the discarded
1O5-ton guns was claimed to be about
thirty-four inches of wrought iron and
that of the ten-inch gun is only about
nineteen inches of wrought iron, the
former gun could only discharge one shot
for every ten minutes. while the smaller
