WASHINGTON Jan. 27.--Delegate
M Wilcox has appointed as his |
(" cadet to West Point, Joseph |
Kaiponohea Aea, with Daniel |
Vowel as alternate. The appointments |
were made after recommendations had
been made by the members of the Inde- 1
pendent party and the young men chos- /
en- had been as well recommended by
many private parties The first named,
it is understood, will be given special
training before he comes on to pass the
examinations, which are very rigid
This holds not only in the classical
course but also in the physical exafn-
nation The cadet proper is under
stood here to be an especial favorite
of the Queen, protege in fact and
his appointment is made that the
course may be taken by one who Is
full Hawaiian. Yowell is said to be
only part Hawaiian and is named that
there may be no danger that the place
for the Islands is not filled in the event
of the rejection of Aea.
The appointment to the Naval Acad-
envy will so to the son OF Captain Pond,
II. s. N. who was the first in the field
! to urge the selection by Wilcox, and
secured the promise. This place would
have been an ideal one for some of the
bright young Hawaiians; perhaps one
which would have opened 81 career
which would have appealed more di-
rectIy to one of the race than place
| in the army.
The report that the judge of the First
District was to resign was received
here with some interest. Delegate Will
| cox decided at once that he would rec
commend the appointment to the yacan-
cy of former Judge Whiting, who was
one of the strongest candidates for the
place which went to the incumbent
but was beaten on account of per-
sonal fight. The fight at this time will
be made a hard one and it is expected
that Whiting will win.

Chased by a Sea Serpent.

A terrible story is told by the captain
and crew of the steam trawler Craig
Gowan, of Aberdeen, which arrived in
Fraserburgh lately, storm-bound. Hav-
ing heard that the crew of the Craig
.Gowan had seen some strange animal
when a mile or SO north of Rattray
Head a correspondent of the Aberdeen
Journal waited upon them and had an
interview with the skipper, Captain j.
Ballard.
Captain Ballard said: We left Aberdeen

the weather looked threatening, until oil

4 LONG DELAYED AFRICAN
LETTER.

The correspondent in the Transvaai
South Africa) OF the New York Sun,
on 10Th April. wrote an interesting let
ter that has been long delayed aud
just published. He then said that the
Beers would continue the fight. He
said Mrs. Botha had no authority 10
ask President Kruger for peace propo-
sails. He mentioned three months ago
now, that General De Wet said there
were more than 1900 men in the field,
and would continue to fight 81 long as
that number continued, and there were
not more than 800. 900 British soldiers
fighting only women, children, cattle
and sheep as a rule, and occasionally
showing fight against men, but only
when they were in overwhelming num-
bers. there was no reason to despair
of our ultimate success. The English
could burn houses: we would rebuild
them; they could confiscate property,
we would retake it; they could take
women and children: they would have
to feed them. and husband and father
would be free of care; they could take
our gold reefs and diamonds away, and
hen the countries were independent
again there would be money enough for
all, for a capitalist was after gold and
diamonds liz a pig after a pumpkin"
He says that the brave general said
farther as to the conduct of the British
that there must be good Englishmen,
but these die all Young" And he
wound up with these words: The
Afrikander should teach his children
Gas he taught his OWN the Eleventh
Commandment: Love thy neighbors.
but hate an Englishman.'"
The correspondent says of the British
losses that the British reported 10, 02U
more Beers disposed of than were &C
tually in the count. Including all for
eigners, the Beers had at the start S4.-
900 men. He asks some pertinent oues-
tons that seem to be pointed and sug-
gestive of heavy losses o reported by
the British up to goth April last:
why do the English not state the
number of dead they leave on battle
fields, often unburied? Why do they
dig trenches 60 feet long and Is wide to
bury eighteen dead, and still leave
nine unburied? The number Of dead
| given officially in the case referred To

of wounded at ; the Middelfontein

THE FOSBURG TRIAL
The Judge Insrructs the Jury to Re-
turn q verdict OF Not Guilty.

Pittsfield, Mass, July 26.-The trial
of Robert Stewart Fosburg for the
killing of his sister May was brought
to a close today when the jury, under
instructions from the court returned a
verdict of not guilty. When the court
convened today the chamber was
rowded and a large number Of mem
bers of the Berkshire bar occupied
seats which had been reserved for them.
Many women attended the trial at
every session, carrying their ~luncheons
with them; they were there again this
morning with their lunch baskets. The
Fosburgh family came into the court
room in a body and passed to their &C
cuStomed seats. 1t was just 9:15 o'clock
when Judge Stevens entered and i'm
mediately upon the opening Of court,
his honor arose, faced the jury and di-
rected them that a verdict of acQuittal
be given for the defendant. Judge
Stevens said:
Mr.. Foreman and gentlemen: Dur
ing six days we have listened to a pain
full recital of one of the saddest age
dies ever presented to a jury. A beau
tiful girl just budding into womanhood
was shot down and her brother has
been of the crime. The gov
eminent has endeavored to prove that
the girl was not shot by burglars: il
has endeavored to exclude all other
members of the family from the affair,
and, third, to prove hat the shot was
fired by her brother, Robert s. Fos-
burgh. The trial has proceeded some
what in the form of an inquest and has
been tried with great pains on the part
of the government and tbs License.
There has been a desire to obtain proof
and so a great deal CT evidence has
been introduced and admitted without
objection which might have been ex-
cluded under the strict rule of the law.
/ think 1 ought also to say that il is
due to the chief Of police who has stood
behind this prosecution. that, in the
view of the court, he has tried to do
his duty with an eye single to ascer-
tanning the truth.
Now Mr.. Foreman, and gentlemen.
a motion has been made hat this case
be AIKEN from h jury and it becomes
my duty to say to you that in the
opinion of the court the government
has not furnished proof sufficient 10
sustain q verdict Of guilty against the
defendant, and, therefore, under the
direction Of the court, in the indict-
ment Of Robert s. Fosburgh for killing
his sister you will return a verdict OF
not guilty"
