BRUTALITY Of
A JAP SKIPPER
RObS and MarOOnS Poor
zap Natives.
Special Dispatch to The Call

VICTORIA, B. c., June THE steamer
Tacoma, which reached here this after
noon, brought the news of some exceed
ingly sharp and brutal practice of Jap
anese skipper which when the steamer
left was being made the subject of Off
cial investigation. The alleged offender is
Captain Oda of the Japanse brig Matsu-
saka Maru, which is owned by a Mr.. Yo-
koo of Toxic, and the unfortunate victims
were twenty-seven natives of zap, one OF
the Caroline group of islands, about 40C
miles from the new American colony OF
Guam. The Japan Herald, which tells the
story, says:
It seems that these natives, men and wo-
men, the former before the war employed
the 10th of October last in the Matsusaka Maru
for Guam and paid their fares in advance l;j
contract in carrying his passengers 10 Guam.
and he proceeded leisurely to the Pellew
Islands, where he landed the poor natives on
October % For two months he lay there.
and then he rounded up the men and women
from zap, telling them that he would now
go direct to Guam. Instead of doing this.
however he carried them to the BONN Islands,
where he dumped them without food or re,
sources a sparsely inhabited island on Feb
ruary 10. After NARROWING the natives and
leaving them on the island friendless and
sailed away leaving them to their fate An
intervention of Providence saved the entire
party from DSIIS starved 10 death. About two
weeks after they had been marooned trad
ing schooner from one of the other islands
was driven close shore by storm and
those on her noticed the signals of the ma
tives and landed They found twenty-one
emaciated and half-starved natives. scarcely
strong enough to stand Six had died. Food
was given to the unfortunates and they were
taken to one of the more populated islands in
the group by the schooner. There a kind
hearted English woman, Mrs. Robinson, wife
Of trader, took pity them and paid the
fare of five of the women two men and two
boys to Yokohama by the n. Y. K. steamer
Suminoye Maru which they reached the
japanese port on May To- Eleven men and one
woman remain the islands, as they were
unable to secure a passage
From the stories told by the natives II
seems that Captain Oda not only marooned the
natives, thinking that they would starve to
death and thus hide his crime but he robbed
them also. They had $50 yen when they en-
barked on the Matsusaka Maru but this the
Japanese squeezed out of them in return for
food after the wretched persons had exhausted
their own supply. The Japanese charged them
81 pound for bad rice, at which rate IL is not
remarkable that their funds soon fell to zero
They were originally allowed to live in the
cabin, but their funds fell they We're
unceremoniously removed to the hold, where
they were compelled to take their rest on the
top of mass of sinking cargo until they were
thrown ashore on the Bonins and left to starve
to death. Captain Oda will be arrested as soon
as he returns to Japan.

NOTHING COMES
Of CONFERENCE
Beers and Britons Did
Not Agree.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, June S.-The Exchange Tele-
graph Company to-day publishes an inter-
view with the Parliamentary Secretary of
the Colonial Office, the Earl of Selborne,
in which he declares that the conference
at Bloemfontein, Orange Free State, be-
tween President Kruger of the Transvaal
Republic and the British High Commits
sioner and Governor Of Cape Colony, Sir
Alfred Miner, proved eminently unsatis-
factory, and that there is no prospect of
it's resumption.
The Right Hon. Arthur j. Balfour, First
Lord of the Treasury and Government
leader in the House Of Commons, in the
course of a speech at a political banquet
this evening, said that the failure of the
Bloemfontein conference was a source of
deep regret to the Government. 1t was
England's duty, he said, not to allow her
rights to be trampled upon; but he did
not believe that the controversies were in
capable of solution.
In concluding his references to the con-
ference MIR. Balfour said:
My sanguine forecast of successful
issue out of these troubles is based on the
facts that the principles SO obvious as the
elementary rights of civilization, which
must commend themselves to- the citizens
of the TransVaal; and | venture to think
that the good sense, justice, policy and
wisdom OF the leaders OF public opinion in
the IransVaal will cause some settlement
which will rightly preserve the independ-
ence of the IranSYaal."
The report of the breakdown of the
Bloemfontein negotiations has created
considerable excitement in political and
official circles and there is much specuia-
ton as to the next move of the British
Government. While Great Britain prob
ably does not mean war, 1t is generally
thought that at any rate there will be
military preparations.
BRUSSELS, June DIR. Leyds, the
european representative of the Trans
vaal, has received an official dispatch
from Pretoria confirming the report of
the failure of President Kruger and the
British High Commissioner, Sir Alfred
Miner, to reach an agreement at the con-
ference Just held at Bloemfonten. 1t is
added that although President Kruger eff
tered important concessions he made them
contingent upon the British acceptance
ferences existing between Great Britain
and the Transvaal. Great Britain here
tofore has invariably refused on the
ground that it would be an acknowledge
ment of the equality of the two countries
According to the dispatch received by
DR.. Leyds, President Kruger proposed
that sojourn of two years be necessary
for naturalization and that the full fran
chise be acquirable five years later, coupled
with property and other qualifica lions.
The British High Commissioner regarded
the proposal as insufficient and made a
counter-proposal. President Kruger, ii is
further asserted, intends to submit both
proposals to the VOlksraad subject to the
favorable decision of Great Britain rela-
tive to arbitration.

FAVORS THE PRESERVATION
OF KILLARNEY LAKES

NEW YORK, June IA cable to the
Journal from London says: The Journal
correspondent to-day interviewed promi-
rent Irish members of Parliament anent
the scheme to buy the Lakes of Killarney.
John Dillon said Il like the idea. which
is characteristic of the Americans and
honorable to its men of wealth and their

Killarney Lakes is very satisfactory TO

citizens of Irish extraction. | would
rather. however. that 10000 900 of our race
in the United States would negotiate with
England for the purchase of the whole of
Ireland. so to liberate it from English
rule. but | fear such a project is too big
an undertaking just now even for your
country. The gigantic scheme to pur-
chase Killarney Lakes by Irsh-Ameri-
cans will, of course, be more popular in
Ireland than if some English Spectator
grabbed the property. If we had an Irish

turn the beautiful place into a national
park, as the United States did with the
Yellowstone region

HAS A CURE FOR
CONSUME TON
CrOtte Before American
Medical Men.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June AT to-day
session of the American Medical Associa-
ton sensational report was presented on
the cure of consumption by Francsque
Crotte, the eminent and widely known
chemist of Paris, France. Mr.. Crotte has
cured more than 1000 hopeless consump-
ton cases, and in support of his statement
he has offered to treat and cure gratis 500
consumptives from the different States in
the Union. He comes 20 America with the
highest credentials from the most emf
nent physicians and the press in Europe,
who verify the truth of his statements.
The treatment is very scientific and
consists of inhalatioas of formaldehyde
Vapor, transported directly through the
tissues by the aid of light tension static
electricity. He is establishing a santa
rum at Pekin, Ill, and clinics at New
York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Much
interest was manifested in the report and
many of the physicians Immediately took
pains to interview DR.. Crotte more closely
or his discovery. A number of eminent
physicians expressed the opinion that an
absolute cure for tuberculosis had at last
been found
Daniel Brewers address proved to be
the feature of the day. He treated Of
the medical aspects of crime. He called
attention to the rapid increase of crime,
lEtemperance, ineffective laws and I'M
reasonable application being cited as
reasons. Regarding the medical treatment
or crime, he said the propagation should
be stopped, marriage should be regulated
and an operation was advocated. High IL
cense was upheld as the best means of
limiting the traffic in liquor. Reform in
judicial methods and indeterminate sem
fences were also advocated.
The committee on legislation recon-
mended that a special committee be ap-
pointed to represent the association be-
fore Congress; also the holding of a con-
ference with army and navy surgeons to
consider pending legislation.

But "TenderfOotS' Are Likely
to Meet Failure in the
Placers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN DIEGO, June 7.-NOtwithstand-
ing the excitement over the Sierra Pin
tada placers during the past two weeks
the lack of definite news from reliable
Americans at the camp has caused
many intending prospectors to defer the
trip TO the diggings until it was learned
beyond a doubt that gold existed there
in paying quantities. This news has
now come. The steamer St. Denis
which took seventy passengers from
here to San Rogue Landing, leaving
San Diego last Friday night, stopped
off San Quintin bar this afternoon on
her way back to take on passengers
and mail for Ensenada. She was met
on the bar by the power schooner Santa
Barbara, which returned to San Quin-
tin late this evening, the St. Denis re-
turning to Ensenada.
The report brought back from the st.
Denis is that Ed Gomez is sending
seven pounds of gold from the camp to
the Lower California Development
Company, and that the steamer is
bringing a total Of nearly forty pounds
Of dust and nuggets to Ensenada. AS
was to be expected the first full re-
ports by practical people do not justify
a rush by "tenderfoots," but confirm
the fact that there is gold in sufficient
quantities to pay practical miners. One
very level headed individual gives it as
his opinion that 50 to $40 in gold may
be taken out every day. This is very
conservative.
Andres Strickroth of lbs & Co., En-
senada, who is returning on the St
ha nj in, Ii
opinion the placers are all right and
there is lots of gold there. He, too
made the statement that it is very I'M
wise for persons without experience or
those not properly QUILTED to expect
big returns.
1t was impossible for the Santa Bar
bara to obtain details from the St
Denis, as q rough sea prevented board
ing the steamer outside San Quintin
but full particulars and reports of the
amount of gold taken out by various
persons will be obtained tomorrow
upon the arrival Of the ST. Denis at
Ensenada. Mail from the mines is be-
ing brought to this city on the steamer.
The Mexican Government has in
structed the Collector of the Port at
Ensenada to grant all vessels bound
for Asuncion or San Rogue landings a
quick dispatch, thus doing away with
the necessity Of asking the Government
at the City of Mexico for a permit in
each instance.
The schooner Negus, which sailed
from here last night with fifty passen-
gers for the mines, arrived at Ense-
NADIA tonight and the schooners Alta
and Rambler are expected there to-
morrow morning. The schooner Anita
arrived at San Rogue Landing last
Monday with forty prospectors from
San Diego.

is that he will guarantee cures in all cases

MUST WEAR UNIFORMS.
Order That Displeases Attaches of
Insane Asylums.

STOCKTON. June 7-Secretary Car
rere Of the State Lunacy Commission has
won his point and the attendants at the
State Hospital for the Insane must put
on uniforms. Attaches of the local insti-
tuition have been trying to get exemption
from the order ever since it was first
promulgated, and were assisted in the
effort by DR.. Clark, the superintendent.
The objections proved unavailing.
To-day a letter came stating that the
regulation of the Lunacy Commission
must be complied with forthwith. Male
attendants must wear a gray uniform
and women a blue dress with a nurse
cape The expense of the new outfits
must be borne by the attaches. So strong
are the objections by some that they may
resign. Others accept the decision good
naturally, and say they expect next to
official dress.
