BANGOR. Maine, Oct 1.-The timber
cut In eastern Maine this season will

section, IL is estimated, will reach 160,-
100000 feet and OF this 10000, 600 will go
into pulp. The price of manufactured
lumber Is higher than 1t was last year.
AS a result OF the large timber cut a
number of paper mills In the state

Northern Paper Company's mill at
Millinockett. which Is one Of the largest
in the state. is about to resume work.
1t is expected this mill will take 65.O00.-
900 feet of lumber and the Nokonegan
mill, recently built at Old Town. will
in a few weeks be In operation.

1t is probably not malice, as Edward
POLITE supposes, which leads local cor
respondents of the San Francisco press
TO send out damaging reports about
Hawaiian plantations. The true reason
Is that local sensation sells in the
Coast metropolis for so much an inch
while favorable notice OF any Ha-
waiian enterprise would be regarded
by the San Francisco editor as an at
tempt TO get free advertising and
would not be printed at all. Space
rates" as they are professionally cali
ed are TO blame for most OF the hum
bug that gets Into the big papers, the
object OF the reporter earning his living
by such rates being to find something
he can sell. irrespective OF It's veracity.
and that Of the editor to make his pur-
chases readable. Between the two the
modern great-newspaper prints more
nonsense than can be thought up by the
writer OF railroad car novelties.

AMONG THE SLAIN
Further De- ails of Capture OF

10y Fillpinos.

MANILA, Sept. 20, via Hongkong,
October 1.-Persistent native reports.
which are generally believed. have been
current in Manila for several days to
the effect that Captain Devereaux
Shields and Company + of the Twenty
ninth Regiment Infantry, consisting of
forty men, stationed at Boag,
Martinique Island, embarked Septem-
Der 1S on the gunboat Villalobos and
landed on the Martinique coast Sep
TENDER Ia, where 800 of the enemy,
armed with rifles supposedly from Lu-
zon. surprised the Americans. The
latter fought for several hours until
their ammunition was exhausted and
they were overpowered and surrender
ed, relief being impossible. At least
four of the soldiers were killed, among
whom, according to reports, was Cap
tain Shields. The Americans also had
several wounded.
Lieutenants Reiff and Bates, on board
the Yorktown. left Manila Monday. At
ter gathering troops at Batangas they
proceeded to Martinique to veri-
fy the reports regarding the fate of
Captain Shields and his men and in
case the native rumors were well
founded to punish the rebels and release
the captives. News from this expedi
ton Is awaited with some anxiety at
Manila. In the meanwhile the censor
prohibits the transmission of news con-
corning the affair.

trumpets that he was going there TO study
the silver question. He has made no an
nouncement yet OF his conclusions. The
great popularity OF the silver question
was the number OF false statements, both

long without being questioned. And fore
most among these was the one that the
Mexican dollar. would still buy as much
OF the products of that country as ever II
did. although II would buy only half OF
the quantity of imported articles that IL

he did not believe there was any truth
in the story. OF this he was not abb
solutely certain not having received
any mail advices either confirming or
denying the report.
The Examiners account of the an

Miss Polly Dunn, one of the most at
tractive Of our society young ladies.

And Took a Hundred Thousand Dol

Is estimated that the amount of money

The general impression of the East
ern press that Honolulu was not even
civilized enough before annexation to
have bargain sales. shows that even
the great American newspapers take a
provincial View of things. Honolulu
was settled American city before San
