Joe sylvia and Isabel Perry - Stepping
From Australia to Island
steamer.
tFrom Monday D.iy)

a drowning took place near the
Oceanic wharf at l2:45 this morning.
II was a miracle that two lives were
not lost in the casualty.
Joseph sylvia and Isabel Perry fell in
to ,he water while attempting to cross
over from the steamer Australia which
is anchored at the Oceanic dock to the
Island steamer Helene, which is lying
alongside of the big Coast steamer
The woman missed her footing and
feii into the water between the vessels,
pulling her companion down with her.
Onl the woman's cries for help
We're heard by night watchman Nc
Creeken. of the Australia, and John,
who is night captain of the Custom
watch. Both were at the side of the
Australia within a minute or two after
the couple fell. BY lowering rope
they were able to rescue the woman
Sylvia went to the bottom. The waters
refused to surrender his body up &c
z. ~ O'CLOCK tnlS MORNING.
Miss Perry told her story to the Ad
vertiser very shortly after her rescue
Her statement is as follows:
Joe Sylvia is my own cousin. H'

evening. We had not drank much
only a little beer. We went on board

after talking a brief time with the
night watchman ON the steamer, Sylvia
called me to the side of the ship ant
asked me to accompany him over &c
the Helene, to call a boat and go row.
ing. | did not want TO go but Sylvia
led me on until we were both standing
on the steps on the side OF the steamer
The lump over to the Helene did moi
appear to be over two or three feet
The vessels were moving to and fro L
the water some. We started to make
the jump and the next thing | realized
myself falling into the water

gan to float. Help reached me almost
instantly. ! never saw Slyva after We

Night Watchman McCreeken saw
the couple fall. He Is of the opinion
that sylvia struck his head while fall

respondent OF the Standard says that
Professor Blumentritt. Aguinaldo's
representative there, writes to the Ia
seblatt as follows:
'The Americans being addicted to
drink are less able to fight in the trop-

lila war would be kept up for six or
eight years. during which the inevit-
able conflict between the powers in
Eastern Asia would afford the Filipinos
q chance.
''The Americans imagine they can
buy the insurgent army for $4,000, 600,
hut the Filipinos anticipate that an
American party inspired by Washing

and grant them independence.

Another Victim Cured.
What a Honolulu Lady Has to
Say OF DOan's Backache and
Kidney Pills.

Many people are skeptical about tax
ing so-called patent medicines, but a
few testimonials as given below ought
to convince the most skeptical that all
remedies are not without merit.
Home testimonials certainly must be
accepted as being first class and posi-
tive proof OF the curative features OF a
remedy. Watch this space for a series
of testimonials of people well and fav-
orably known,
Mrs, Grace Dodd. 524 Young street,

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE Herald s
Washington correspondent sends the
following: Mai. Gen Otis cablcd to
the War Department today that no
change had occurred in the situation
In the Philippines.
What the result OF the conference
was could not be learned, but there Is
reason to believe the administration
will not bulge from its position to es-
tablish peace and order In the Islands.
TAe Filipinos are to be impressed with
the good will and friendship which the
United States has for them.
But there must he recognition OF and
obedience to the sovereignty OF the
Uaited States.
The friends OF Germany are much
incensed by the report that the Berlin
Government is secretly aiding Aguin-
aldo. II is true the attitude OF Ger
many several months ago gave rise to
apprehension to the Administration
but has since given strong indications
of her intentions to be strictly neutral,
