FIRED ON BRITISH SHIP
ACT OF WAR ON PART OF THE
COLUMBIAN LIBERALS.
Fire Cannon and Rifles at the Steamer
Quito-Icarus Proceeds to Scene of
Trouble.

COLON, Columbia, Oct 8, (previous
cabling preVented).-A force of liber-
ais, numbering at least $50 men, at
tackled Morro island. commanding the
entrance to the port of Tumaco on
September "a. The island had all
along been garrisoned with fewer than
a hundred troops, well supplied with
arms, ammunition and commissary
stores, including more than 100 head
of cattle and other provisions in pro-
portion.
The landing was effected before
daybreak by means of canoes. Sim
ultaDeously the island was stormed
from sthc other end by liberals on the
mainland.
Morro island is surrounded by shallow
sand banks and the only means of ap-
preaching Tumaco is by the narrow
river which is within easy range of the
island.
The British steamer Quito, bound
from Guayaquil, Ecuador, for Panama,
and touching at ports between, anchor
ed off MORO island on the night of Sep
tember 2S and weighing anchor at day
break started up the stream toward Tu-
maco. The liberals fired a shot across
her bows.
Suspecting the situation, she imme-
diately turned, but rife shots and one
tdHHOH continued 10 ne IlIeu at HeI, lue
former striking her several times and
the latter once, the ball making a hole
right through her above the water mark
though the damage in other respects
was slight
The Quito then steamed to the far
thest point the tide would permit and
again anchored. The firing was now
resumed but it ceased after a few min
utes, the Liberals having discovered the
| imprudence of their action.
1t is significant that shortly after the
Quito incident became known, the Brit
ish warship Icarus left Panama for a
destination not made public, but pre-
sumably Tumaco.
The steamship agents have been Off
cially notified not to accept freight for
the port.
The situation in the isthmus is quiet
but unchanged.

A Chinese libel Suit

Wong Shin King and SEE To Fook
who are the defendants in the libel suit
brought against them for defamation of
character by the clerk appointed by the
Chinese Consul to superintend the Chi
nese fire claims, We're in court this
morning. Judge Stanley appearing for
them with Whiting and Robinson for
the prosecution.
The court room was filled with a
cloud of witnesses and the proceedings
were played to standing room only with
interested Chinese onlookers. The con-
sulate was there in full force and were
seated inside the rail to witness the
proceedings.
AT the commencement of the case all
witnesses were excluded from the court
room upon the motion of Judge Stanley.
The case rests principally upon the
question as to whether the article in
question constituted a libel. Transla-
ton seem to vary as to the meaning.
Generally the defendants seemed to
have stated that the libellee was ap-
pointed by the Consul out of faVoritism.
that he was incompetent, that he was
making capital out of his position by
taking money to push certain claims
and that he was altogether a shady
character and one to be avoided. The
case is being continued this afternoon.
Several minor cases were held over by
Judge Wilco to hear the libel case. Ma
nuel young Portuguese, who plead
guilty to having stolen newspapers, was
sentenced to a year at the Reform
school. The case was appealed.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION WILL
ACT LATER.
The Philippines and Porto Rico are
Made Missionary Districts and May
Have Bishops-Hawail to Wait.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 6.-At the
Episcopal Convention yesterday the
Bishops remained in session during the
afternoon and transacted some import
ant business, creating two new mis-
sionary districts, one comprising the ISL
ands of Porto Rico and Vieques, and
the other the Philippine islands. These
islands being now under the flag of the
United States, the jurisdiction of the
church extends over the Episcopal con-
gregations therein. In Porto Rico and
Nieques there were congregations Of
the Church of England under the SOW
ereignty of Spain, these congregations
being in charge of the Lord Bishop of
Antigua. BY mutual agreement these
congregations transfer their connections
to the Protestant Episcopal church in
America.
No action was taken with regard to
Hawaii, as the anomalous situation in
that Territory calls for the action of
the General Convention.

UNIONS AFTER CAMPBELL
EMPLOYED JAPS ON GOVERN.
MENT CONTRACT.
Worked Them Nine Hours and is De-
clared to Have Violated the United
States Eight Hour Law.

The Federal Grand Jury is taking up
charge against Contractor W. NJ.
Campbebll of violating the eight hour
law, by workin~ his men nine hours on
a government contract. The charge is
the result of an investigation begun
two weeks ago by the local labor union.
Attorney Lorrin Andrews was consult
ed, and a number of afidavits were
drawn up, which are expected to be
the basis Of an indictment by the jury.
The union men claim to have found
that the contractor mentioned employ
7 ed only japanese and worked them 8
hours a day. There is no law compell-
ing a contractor on government work
to employ citizens. but 1t is generally
a condition that goes with contracts.
To have men working over eight hours,
however, is in violation of a United
States statute passed in 1892, and lays
a contractor liable to heavy fine and
months Imprisonment, it is said.
The work being done by Campbell is
on the naval wharves. The employ
ment of no white men on a government
contract is said to have first directed
the attention of the labor union men to
the case. John Irvine and William
/ Gitt began to collect evidence and they
soon had plenty of aflidavits, 1t is
claimed, to prove the violation OF the
national labor laws.
| Attorney Andrews prepared brief on
the subject for the benefit of the labor
union men, who propose to make an
active fight against employing Japs
/ only and working them 8 hours day
on government work. In no other part
of the country, it is stated, are carpen-
/ ters. etc. who are not American citi-
izens. employed on government work.

taste will be provided and numerous
articles both useful and ornamental viii

WALLACE LEFT AFFIDAVIT
SEA KINGS MASTER TELLS OF
CAPTSfN BAKER.
Says He Stated His Intention to Jump
Bail-Estee Refuses to Change His
Order.

Before leaving on the City of Peking
Captain Wallace of the bark sea klng
maue an amuavIt regarding the case OF
Captain George A. Baker of the Emily
Reed, whose bail OF S0O0 was ordered
forfeited because he talled to resOpnd
when his name was calIed at the OPEN
ing of the term. The attidaYit was used
Dy District Attorney Dunne this morn
ing, in his answer to the motion by Col.
Tom Fitch to set aside the order de-
claring bail forfeited.
Mauace sWore that Captain Baker
had told him that he did not intend to
return to answer to the charge against
him. The captain of the Sea King de-
clared in his affidavit that Captain
Baker made the following answer to a
question as to whether he was going to
attend court: mo, l am going to Aus
traiia, L am going to take my chances,
and if they forfeit my bond, will have
10 pay it, that's ALL"
The case Of Baker and his mate
Charles Macdonald, were both argued
Fitch and Dunno. The former contend
ed that the men had compiled with the
terms Of the bond, in being present at
the last term of the court, which was
one of the alternative conditions inn
posed. Dunno contended that the bond
required the defendant to to be amen
able at all times to the order of the
court, during the pendancy of the
charge against him. He filed lengthy
/ affidavit stating the circumstances of
the case and the alleged violations of
the bond.
rs the defendant here?" asked Estee
before deciding. Fitch replied that he
was not, and admitted that he had not
| been present at the opening of the
term.
"Wen, he'll have to come," said Estee.
THE court has made up it's mind about
that" Judge Estee then stated that he
would let the order stand, fortelung
bail.
| united States Marshal Hendry was
| instructed to call the defendants at the
door of the court room. 1t was admit
| ted that both are in San Francisco or
! on the high seas, so that even Hendry $
loud demand that they come into
court" could not reach them. He re-
ported no response, and the courts rul-
i'm was duly entered.
Judge Estee intimated that he might
hear further argument in the future
If the defendant returns as his counsel
claims is his intention, when he comes
and appears with his sureties further
action may be taken. 1T is the prac-
tice of this court to be as lenient as
possible with defendants and thelf
bondsmen," said Judge Estee.
Fitch made formal request that the
informations against Baker and Mac
donald, on which no action had been
taken since it was decided that the de-
PENDANTS would have to wait for indlct-
ments, be dismissed. The court left the
matter to the district ttorney, and
Dunno stated that he would notify
Fitch next Wednesday of what action
| he would take.

CANAL TREATY IS FRAMED
AGREEMENT ON ISTHMIAN Is
REACHED.
Clapton- Bulwer Treaty Is Abrogated in
Toto-Neutrallty of the Canal is Guar
anteed by America.

CHICAGO, October g. Telegraphing
10 the Record Herald from Washington,
Walter Wellman says:
"The United States and Great Britain
have reached an agreement concerning
the sthmian canal question. and now a
treaty viii be presented 80 the Senate
for its ratification early In the coming
session. 1 am now able to give the sub
stance of this treaty. 1t provides:
"Q) For the abrogation of the old
Clayton Bulwer treaty in toto.
"(2) For the neutral isthmian canal,
in case one be constructed by the
United States, open in time of peace
to ships of all nations upon equal
,terms.
"(3) This neutrality is guaranteed
by the United States alone, and other
maritime powers are not invited to par
ticipate in such guarantee. Great
Britain is inferentially one of the
guarantors because she is party to
this treaty.
"(D In case of war, the United
States reserves the right to take such
steps for it's own protection as 1t may
deem proper.
"It will be seen that the new treaty
meets the principal objections which
were offered to the old Hay-Paunce-
fote convention. and which led to its
rejection by the Senate"
Wellman says that while the princi-
pie of neutrality is asserted, the United
States alone guarantees that neutral
ity, and no European powers are in
vited to give their assent to it. 1t was
this invitation to Europe, more thar
any other feature which led to the
defeat of the former treaty.
BY the terms of the new treaty, the
United States may in time of war dea
with the canal as it deems best fol
it's own interests. 1t may close the
canal to the ships of it's enemies, anC
could, If it were thought advisable
(Which no one believes it ever will be-,
fortify the channel or it's termini. II
a broad sense, the isthmlan waterway
is to be "all American" The United
States is to build it, and to have com
plete control of it, unhampered by
onerous restrictions.
Ambassador Choate has brought tC
the United States a draft of the new
treaty, and President Roosevelt will
soon have it in his hands. The Presi
dent will be able to discuss 1t in hi.
forthcoming message to Congress. H,

NO GOOD FOR ELECTRIC CAR
FUSES.
A MotOrman who Called for Aid
From the Lady Passengers ON His
Car.

Hair pins and hat pins are 40 good
as substitutes for burned-out fuses ON
electric cars. This fact was discovered
last night by the motOrman of the car
that left Fort street shortly after 5
O'Clock en- route to Punahou. The fuse
burned out lust before the car reached
Wilder avenue, and it was there that
the motorman made the discovery that
may save him from useless experiments
IN years to come.
Has any lazy got hair pin?" asked
the motorman, after the fuse had burn
ed out and the car had come 70 a stand
still. 1T might do for fuse"
OF course every lady on the car had
a hair pin and more than one. and
most of the ladies were willing to help
out There was a general movement
among the fair sex to dig out pins from
their heads, and the motorman might
have taken many
He got one pin and tried it, and it
blew out like the fuse. 1t was not
heavy enough to stand. the curreqt.
The proffer of a hat pin was then
made by a public spirited lady who
wanted to get home and help others to
do the same. 1t had a head, which the
motorman said must be broken off. The
owner didn't object and hat pin was
struction and the car remained still.
The ladies had done what they could
and they settled down to watt for some
one else to do something,
Relief came when piece of wire was
picked up on the street. The motorman
quickly made q fuse that was strong
enough, an dthe car went on its way,
with one of it's fair passengers out a

CREW REFUSED 70 VOPk

There was trouble about getting the
barkentine Jane L. Stanford away this
afternoon, The vessel arrived off port
early today from Newcastle after an
unusually quick trip of AZ days from
that port, for orders. She was direct
ed to proceed to Kaanapali. At p. IN.
when the captain wanted to set sail,
about 13 members of the crew struck
and refused entirely to turn to. They
claimed they should be paid off here as
it was the first American port they had
reached. AS they persisted in refusing
to work, 1t looked as if a new crew
would have to be shipped.
