STORY OF THE STEAMER ABBEY TOLD.
Capt Joseph Henry Grimes Makes Complete Confession of His Part in the Expedition, Which for Reasons shown, was Only Par tiRIiy Successful.

New York, June 6.-A special to the Journal and Advertiser from Washing ton says:
 Capt Joseph Henry Grimes has made complete confession of the part he took in aiding the Filipinos, and the document is in the possession of the government. He is British sub Ject, born in Hong Kong. 20 years ago. lie was office manager at Shanghai for l.. Seitzel X Co.,, and there became ac- quainted with the agents Of the Fili- pino rebellion.
 Contracted With AguinaIdo.
 On June ' Grimes firm contracted with Aguinaldo to supply 5000 Mauser rifles, two Maxim guns, 1,000,000 cartridges, steamer Pasig and provis- ions, at | cost of $13s. s.o00. The outfit was seized by the British authorities al the request of the Spanish consul.
 Then, says Grimes, E. r. Sylvester, a member of his firm, arranged with Edward Bedlo, American consul at Canton, 10 send the arms to that point, by means of a false sale, to the Chi nese government. The Chinese yiceroy Was to reject them, but, as it turned out, he seized 4.500, and kept them to suppress rebellion in his own terri tGry.
 Transferred to American Register. The local authorities, refusing per mission for the pasig to sail, she was transferred from British to American register by Consul Bedloe, her name changed to the Abbey. and Bedlo cleared her and the supplies for the Filipinos for Singapore. On August 27 the Abbey, flying the American flag, and commanded by Capt. G. W. Ellis, an American citizen. left Whampoa, 15 miles from Canton. On board was Lewis Leonard Etzel, the American citizen, whose mission it Wus to teach the Filipinos how to use the Maxim guns.
 Sylvester Lied to Him,
 Sylvester, Grimes asserts. falsely told him that the facts about the ex- petition were known to Admiral Dewey and Consul General Wildman. The cargo was taken to Santa Angas, So miles out of Manila. and turned over to the insurgent governor of that
 
 cartridges, two Maxim guns and 2,00J rounds of Maxim ammunition.
 AguinaIdo Wanted More.
 After discharging the cargo Grimes went to Bacoor, where he met Aguin- aldo, who said he wanted nlore ammu- milton. Grimes returned to Hong Kong, but was not successful in his further plans. Sylvester visited Npuinaldo and failed to conclude contract with him to procure arms in Germany.
 Plotted Against America.
 "lt will be seen by the above state ment," Grimes says, that both Syl- yester and Etzel plotted on American soil against the American government. The Abbey was seized about Sep tember last by the American revenue cutter MeCulloch. which was attach cd to Admiral Dewey's fiotilla. Grimes was arrested in Manila on November

During the last month considerable ex-
element has existed and good many
reports have been published concerning
some difficulties in regard to the school
10 district No. S, usually known as the
white school house, located in the west
part of the town. Miss Mabel L. G. Sui
livan of Wrapping was engaged to teach
the school for year, but during the fall
term her services were SO unsatisfactory
to some Of the district that she was re-
quested to resign by the district commits
tee, George W. Draper. This she de-
clined to do. A few days later she was
ordered to discontinue her services, and
another teacher was hired, A new lock
was placed ON the door, to which Miss
Sullivan had no key, hut as soon as the
door was unlocked both teachers entered
and both tried to teach. However, this
condition of things could not long exist.
Miss Sullivan claimed she was engaged
for year, and refused to leave. The
new teacher withdrew until measures
could be taken. A meeting of the school
board was held, at which 1t was voted to
revoke any certificate Miss Sullivan might
have or claim to have. Tuesday evening
meeting of the district was called, wher
1t was voted by fourteen to five that shs
be no longer retained as teacher, as sht
had proved herself incapable of properly
teaching, managing and governing the
school. During this winter term the at
tendance has varied from four to none
and the case has attracted much attan
tion. What action, If any, will be taken
now by Miss Sullivan Is not known. Mis-
Sullivan had previously taught In TIL
Snipsic district, and as far as known CAV
