In vain we expostulated and en-
deavored to prove that the highest
honor and the purest courtesy were
intended, the old Admiral, General
Phizou, he who took the Chincha
Islands for Spain, Numbered out
Remove the Traitors" The
traitors" were removed to pri-
vate room and left to their thoughts
for few minutes. Those thoughts
were unpleasant for the consuls of
England and France, as individuals,
were useless to us in those days and
drunhead court martial in the
hours of rebellion is apt to kill first
and judge afterwards.
The officer who had arrested us
reappeared and again escorted us
to the governor. Gentlemen" said
he. you are under arrest until 9
o'clock tomorrow morning. In the
meantime you are released on pa
role long enough to dress en- gra,ldc
tenne, and to return here on the dis
tinct understanding that you do not
refer to this incident" More sur-
prised than ever and wondering
what punishment we should receive
we obeyed orders and again pres
ented ourselves in full evening
dress.
Our crime against Spain was
atoned by dining with the governor
and being escorted by him to the
opera, taken to the royal box, pres
ented' to the Duke, receiving an
ovation from the audience and
having right royal time"
In law the governor was right
for no flag save that of Spain can
fly in Spain, save on the buildings
allotted to foreign powers, and they
constructively speaking are not
Spain.

An lnvidiOuS Distinction.

forcible hauling down of German
flag from a German citizens dwell
ing recalls to the writer's mind an
amusing experience which befell
few friends and himself some thirty
years and more ago in old Spain.
On the banks of the Quadalqui-
vir in Sevilla, la maravilla, is the
palace of San Telmo, the home of
the dukes de Montpensier. In the
days of which we write there was
also boat club in Sevilla whose
boats were occasionally honored
with the presence of the fair Infan-
tas of the Montpensior family.
One delightful summer evening
these ladies decided to pay a visit
to Cadiz and the boat club was
equally decided in desiring to pay
them due courtesy and honor on
their departure. Accordingly we
brought Our best eight-oared barge,
and gorgeous in white flannel trim
med with cerise colored ribbons, the
favorite hue of Our favorite pa
troness, and with the flags of Eng
land and France side by side at the
bow and the royal ensign of Spain
Borrowed from the royal palace, at
Our STERN we tossed oars and babe
them goodbye. The lady of Our
young hearts presented Our coxs-
vain. a young Spaniard of titled
prominence, with her bouquet and
we were in the seventh heaven of
delight.
Without changing Our costume
we proceeded to Our club, Ell circulo
de los labradores, to duly celebrate
the occasion over punch a la Ger
0eSd. We had scarcely assuaged
our consuming thirst over the first
bowl when there entered one of the
aids of the military governor, for
Sevilla was then in state of mar
tial law owing to the impending rev.
olution which drove Isabella la
Segunda off the throne, who re-
quested us to follow him imme-
diately.
Though surprised we were not
dismayed for we deemed our action
most creditable and knew the gov
ernor to be a warm personal friend
to all of us. But, it must, even after
these many years, he admitted that
we were alarmed, when we were in
formed that we were under arrest
for most reasonable crime, and
much more so when we entered the
presence of the governor surround
ed by his staff and various officials
whose faces bore most unkindly
scowls.
"Ah! gentlemen foreigners, and
this is how you abuse Spanish his
pitality by Haunting your flags in
Our faces on Our own waters. Do
you not know that you have COM
mitted an act of rank treason
against Her Majesty and the Ma
jesty of Spain. You, England, and

more than gratifying to the Hawai-
ian race and the numerous friends
of all nations who esteemed the late
Dowager. All the pomp and dig

i'll evidence and showed the appre-
citation of all for the so greatly suc-
cessful efforts of kapiolani for her

On Friday and Saturday the
body lay in state at Kawaiallao
church amidst the finest forest of
kahilis ever gathered together. The
notable collection of ex-Queen Ii
liuokalani was added to those per-

Queen Kapiolani. The floral EN-

is representative of Honolulu. The
funeral services were conducted, in
accordance with the ritual of the
Church of England, by the Right
Reverend the Bishop of Honolulu
assisted by his clergy and Rev. H.
II. Parker, the pastor of the church,
a large number of the clergy of
other denominations were also pre-
sent. The principal features of the
service were the singing of the
choirs of St. Andrews Cathedral
and Kawaiahao church, Handel's

So perfectly had Major Potter,
the grand marshal, made his ar

or confusion made in starting the
long procession to the sound of the
first minute gun. This procession
was the grandest and most impos-
ing, although perhaps not the larg-
est as the schools are in vacation,
that Honolulu has ever witnessed.
1t embraced the representatives of
the civil and military governments
and armed forces of the United
States and Hawaii, the representa-
tives of foreign powers, the Judi
ciary, the clergy of all denomina-
tons, religious and civil societies
and an immense body of Hawai-
ians.

Bonheur did not have to struggle
through long years at obscurity.
She rose at once to fame. Her
works, though at first little timid,
showed accuracy, purity. and an
intutitive perception of nature
Her greatest success dates from
1S47, when she sent to the Salon
her "Attelage Nivernais," which
was enthusiastically received by the
public. 1t is now in the gallery OF
the Luxembourg. Her principal
pictures number about forty. but
between the execution of these she
has painted many small ones.
Many of her finest pieces of work
are owned in America. Her school
experience, where she caricatured
the pupils and the teacher, and
finally was expelled. made her a
quiet but irreconcilable enemy of
aristocratic and genteel Philisti-
nism. In the chronicles of the
fashionable world the name of Rosa
Bonheur never appeared.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the LIQUID laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.

are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and

Nothing Further Done

saws nothing further has been done regard
ing the return of the volunteer soldiers
from Manila. If the troops could be spared
there is no transport service to bring them
home and will not be for some time. 1t Is
believed that the transports now on the
way for Manila and those which will leave
in a few days will return with volunteers.
The war officials think that by June there
will be enough transports at Manila to
bring back all that want to come.

She Can Fight.

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
The trouble with Boston is that 1t loves
to be in the minority. A "cause" does not
deserve the capital unless its adherents
are generally spoken of as fanatics and
cranks. When a cause wins or becomes
popular it ceases to be a cause. But if
you think Boston can't fight, just ask the
sparrows and those who would villainously
hide the gilded court house dome by tall
buildings.

attacked, but escaped death.
over in England Edward the First was
assassinated by a mussalman while tho
former was crusading, but he seemed to
nave no right there, and the feeling against
him was bitter and deep. Edward the Sec
ond was murdered after his deposition.
William Rufus was supposed to have been

rel, as stated in history. Richard the Sec
ond was killed by Exton after his deposition

was never proven. Edward the Fifth goes
down in history with an improbable dea III

historians put little faith in the story.
The Case of william of Orange.
One of the most marked assass.natiors
was that of William of Orange, surnamed
The Silent, the founder of the Dutch re-
public He was called The Silent becauze
he heard without comment from Henry
II. of France of plot to massacre the
Protestants, he himself being one secretly
at the time. He was assassinated by Bal
thazar Gerard, a Catholic fanatic.
In Scotland assassination was the favor
lite way of securing a change of govern
mental policy. They of all people seemed
to have been given more freely assasslna-
ton. The asassinations of rulers, co Sorts
and paramours are too numerous to men,
ton. In studying history one Is likely to
emerge from youth with the idea that
nearly every other ruler was assassina ed
for the reason that the historian seemed
to revel in detailing the attempts on the
lives of sovereigns, and dwelling with much
color on the various plots. But to review,
the men who have met death in this way,
there are comparatively very few, but suf-
fcent to cause those who have the keep
ing of the lives of rulers safe to still use
precautlon, for modern history boasts about
as many assassinat4ons as the history
of the period known as the dark ages.

HE COWED THE BULLY.

Harold Frederic's with n
Lordly Prussian Lieutenant.
Harold Frederic's self confidence and
power of dominating strangers stood
him in good stead in one of his first
visits-if not his very first visit-to
Berlin. The incident as he related it
seemed natural enough to an American
not brought up in w Of a military
caste, but to those who knew Germany
it was almost surprising that he came
through it with his life. He had been
paying some formal diplomatic calls,
and in the evening dropped in at the
Cafe Bauer in the unwonted glory Of a
frock coat and a tall silk hat. This hat
was carefully hung on a hat stand, and
Frederic sat down to read an English
newspaper just arrived.
Enter a particularly fine specimen Of
the lieutenant, booted and spurred and
sworded and epauletted. He brushed
against the hat stand, knocked Frederic's
bat over into the sawdust and swag-
gered to his seat withor. SO much as
looking around. The slight TO the hat
was more than Frederic could endure.
In a towering passion he went to the
lieutenant, stood over him aud pointed
to the object on the floor. "Pick up
that hat, sir!" he roared. The officer
stared amazed; the walters were par
slyzed with terror at hearing one SO
much more than human so addressed
by a civilian. "Pick up that hail u re-
peated Frederic in a ton more menao.

what he was told. He was as irresisti-
