COUNCIL HAD SERENE MEETING
PantoDe's Light Burns Amidst Holy
Calm

The long and heated controversy
over the Pantone light matter was eff
fectually settled By council last night
and Pantone is triumphant. In NOV
ing to reconsider the action of council
in voting light at the point desig-
mated, unless the lights now contracted
for could be so distributed as to in
clude MIR. Pantone, Mayor Hixon took
the floor and made lengthy speech.
He said that the city was already up to
the neck on expenditures, and should
other citizens, taxpayers, ask for lights
now the council would be in an en-
barrassing position unless said re-
quests were granted. This, he said,
could be obviated by SO changing the
lights now used, if possible, to include
Pantone. On voting upon the substi-
tute it was lost by the usual vote of
four to three and the Pantone light,
after weeks of controversy, will be es-
tablished at an additional expense
of $50.

STEAMER D)LPHIN'S
SENSATIONAL TRIP
Negro Crew, Led BY West In
dams, In Mutiny.
ATTACKED BY CANNABALs

Man-Eating Natives Attempt to Burn
the Ship In the Straits of Magellan.
Almost Destroyed by Hurricane.
Village Wiped Out BY Fire.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-The steamer
Dolphin from New York has had SEN
sational trip, according to Captain Rad
cliffe.
He took on board at st. Lucia eight
natives to astist the crew. The vessel
carried to sea three stowaways, one OF
whom proved to be notorious bandit,
another an escaped murderer and the
third a lunatic. Edward Palmerer, a
negro, the steward, assumed All indie
pendent attitude before the Dolphin was
past Sandy Hook. Three days cut from
St. Lucia, he attacked a fireman named
McAllister, with a chair and laid his
scalp open. The steward was put In irons
and the CAPTAIN and Chief Engineer
Winter took six stitches lii the ireman s
head. The West Indians then became
friendly with the negro crew, and they
workedsonly when and as they pleased
They were only kept from open mutiny
by show OF arms.
After coaling at Monteyideo, the Dol
phin was nearly wrecked by q hurricane
and III the straits OF Magellan an at
Tempt was made to set fire to the vessel
by the man eating natives.
On reaching Punta Arenas, at the
entrance to the straits of Magellan, they
found that the town had nearly been
wiped out of existence by the Patagoni-
ans. The natives had made a descent
on the place, killed IA of the Ciliano sol
diers and set fire TO the building. A
delegation came out from the post and
after telling the captain asked for some
firearms and powder. The captain pre-
sented them with a 3-inch gun and a
quantity of ammunition.
At Coronel, Chilean coaling port,
the coal passers obtained liquor and
went on the war path and could not be
subdued. They seized all the fire axes
and threatened to kill everybody on
board. Purser Holmes and Second En-
gineer Carroll went ashore for assist
ance. Thanearest troops were 10 miles
away, but special train was sent for
them by the governor. The port was
swarming with desperate characters and
an attempt was made to kill Holmes and
Carroll.
"When we got back to the steamer,
said Holmes, 1.-THE mutineers had the
crew and everything in full possession.
The steward and iremen were taken
ashore in irons and next day court of
inquiry was held on the Dolphin. The
court sentenced the six ringleaders to
three months each i'll the calaboose. In
the crowd was the steward and the
three stoWaways from ST. Lucia.
