Mr.. Atherton says that he asked
the Marshal for the use of the
empty lot opposite the Police Sta
tion for the use of the Salvation
Army. The good old gentleman
evidently does not know that the
lot is lying empty because the Po-

the city, and that this very piece of
land may prevent dangerous at

The INDEPENDENT begs to inform
the Advertiser that we have at no
time protested against Miss Krout
lecturing to paying audience with
out paying the ordinary fee to the
Government. We published COM
munication in which we were asked
whether the lecturer complied with
the law, and we referred him to the
Marshal. The insinustion that we
feel hostile towards Miss Krout be-
cause OF her attitude ons annexation
is as absurd as the suggestion of the
official organ that it is shabby to
make the lady comply with the laws
because she helped the annexation
movement. What Miss Krout's say
ings and writings have to do with
the Marshal's carrying out the laws
which he is bound to enforce is be-
yond our comprehension. We can
furthermore assure our contempor.
airy that we, as we'll as most of our
friends, had utterly forgotten the
existence OF Miss Krout, and were
happily ignorant of her valuable
services in the annexation cause.
Now we remember it all, thanks to
the Advertiser, and will act accord
ingly.

The Marshal has most properly
ordered his men to clear the side
walks SO as to give pedestrians a
chance to pass along without being
obliged to wade into muddy streets
or tumbling into the numerous
foundations for new sky srapers. If
the Salvation army chooses to make
its headquarters on the main thor
oughfare, it can do SO we suppose
but it certainly does not justify a
crowd to gather to the annoyance of
people who do not care to listen to
the noisy army but simply insist in
their right Of way.

Mr.. Atherton was not "fred" off
the sidewalk last night although he
was standing for ten minutes on
Hotel street and the Advertiser in
sinuates that Mr.. Atherton was not
disturbed because the officers on
duty didn't dare approach man of
his standing. We cannot believe
that Mr. Atherton personally took
such view of thessituation. What
ever his motives may have been and
how much he might haye been Itch
ing for trouble, he certainly has
sense enough to know that no man
standing quietly alone on side
walk, without obstructing the peo.
pie passing is ever interfered with
by the police. Mr.. Atherton may
believe that he is crowd all by
himself but we can assure him
that the police considers him a very
harmless little crowd. If the Saliva
tion army had any sense and ls out
for good work why don't the ex.
horters go down to The waterfront
or to the slums at Kakaako. There
is the place for their noble efforts OF
saving souls, but OF course there are
no respectable people around to
sympathize with them or buy War
Cries. Why don't these very good
ladies and gentlemen appear daily
in the police court and act as the
court missionaries do in London, by

CONTINUING A DIFFICULT JOURNEY.

The iron yacht drew too much water to
proceed farther so during the day the de-
tachment was transferred to two baran-
gayanes chartered by Hagadorn, and the
first mutiny of the new crews lasted from
) to s a. m. the next day. DIR. May
stopped at Cabagan, but we were joined
by Mendez, one of our Spanish friends,
who was going up the river with 200 lbs.
of silver to buy tobacco, and had chartered
n panda, which is like the other native
boats, but only 20 feet long. At his invi-
tation we and three soldiers took passage
upon that boat. This meant another mu-
tiny, and an hour was spent swearing and
obtaining rice, which was paid for by
MendeZ, as were also the wages Of two
extra bogadores, who were Kidnapped
from the ranch Of another of our Spanish
friends n mile up the river. Meanwhile
the other two boats pushed ahead, and
we did not see them again for four days.
That night it was a grave problem to
find place to sleep, there being no room
on the boat. A Spanish friend of Mendez
lived somewhere i'll the vicinity of the
point where progress was stopped by dark
ness, and we started to find it under the
guidance OF one Of the bogadOres, leaving
the soldiers to watch the boat. 1t was
not pleasant travelling through mud and
high grass, with thick foliage around the
| clumps of trees, which Windsor thought
were excellent places for bolomen to hide.

night was a dangerous undertaking, as
their sentinels are likely TO fire before

cautiously, and at two miles from the boat
we managed te make ourselves known to
the sentinel without being shot. The
house was without furniture, but the Cor
poral gave US the floor of the best room
in 1t.

A NATIVE BALL

At Z p. m. our crowd went to the dance
Mt the convento. An orchestra dispensed
fair dance music, keeping remarkable time
always, while the brass band contributed
its share from the ground below during in
termissions. The function opened with
rigodon, or Spanish quadrille, as popular
here as in the West Indies, which | danced
with Lucrecia, the belle of the pueblo.
Then there was two-step to the tune Of
AguinaldO's March. Even the sedate

viaje, and who was rejuvenated by Span
ish hospitality, Joined in the frivolity for
the first time in 10 years. he said.
The girls wore sandals such as white
man could not keep on his feet standing
still, and it was wonderful how seldom
they came off. When one did lose a san
dial she would pause q moment to shove
her bare foot into it, and then continue
the dance. The ladies sat in row along
one side Of the ballroom, smoking cigars
and drinking beer and whiskey like the
men, according to custom. When ma
tive wanted to dance he would first pres
ent his girl to the Americans present, for
inspection, and then transfer her to one
of them, or obtain permission 10 keep her.
After a waltz and polka there was a fan
dango by one couple, with the rest of the
company as spectators. One girl came to-
wards us and waved her handkerchief as
challenge. Doc Skinner said pass, but
| called the bluff, and showed them how
they dance the fandango over in Cuba.
At p. m. we fell out in favor of the
soldiers, and from then until II joined the
Spaniards in a convivial dinner at the
warehouse. Then they insisted upon going
to serenade Lucrecia, and the band, which
was still present and blowing harder than
ever. escorted us ON a mile walk to the
house of her father, who, judging from the
size of the stack of tobacco in the front
room, was a man of considerable means.
The expedition was hospitably received,
Lucrecia passing around cigars and vino
with her own hands. Finally, the whole
retinue accompanied us back to the river,
and the last sounds that reached us as we
spread out our blankets on the deck were
the strains of Marching Through GeOr-
gia' fading away in the distance.

CoERcING NATIVE BoATMEN.

The next morning our troubles com
menced, as the boat had been forcibly
chartered under the direction of the Quar-
termaster, and there was mutiny among
the crew. The only Spanish the bogadores
knew WAS "pobre Filipino trabajo mucho
malo' c'poor Filipino! nothing but hard
work." literally translated), but the photo
spoke Spanish like a white man, and could
lie at double time making excuses for de-
laying.
After proceeding about a mile the photo
said it was absolutely necessary to wait
for a wind. After waiting a couple of
hours, / decided that we had better start
and let the wind oYertake us, but three of
his crew were sick. After the doctor had
Ecorched their Threats with some of the

that the doctor considered too ripe for tho
soldiers to eat, temporarily removed that
difficulty; but the sun was approaching the
zenith, and the iron deck was too hot for
the bare feet of the bogadores, so that
they could not possibly work with their
poles. But the crisis of the battle arrived
when the water poured on to cool the deck
made IT steam, and the photo made the
startling assertion that this would give his
men the fever.
