In the course OF an hour our boats
were seen returning. bringing with them
the First and Second Mates of the cap
tured whalers. The Captains were not
on board. having gone on shore that morn
ing for q merry making. little dreaming
what was in store for their fleet.
We at once commenced bringing such
articles as we required from the prizes,
and about o'clock in the afternoon we
saw n boat putting off from the shore,
which we were notified contained the fes-
tive Captains.
Their aStonishment may perhaps be i'm
agined when they discovered a cruiser in
that remote sea. bearing the Confederate
flag. For a moment they rested on their
oars as though undetermined what to do,
and then put about and pulled toward the
shore; but escape was not so easy. a
boat was instantly dispatched in pursuit.
and at the expiration of very brief

Burlington (Vt) Free Press.
At the regular meeting Of Stannard
Post. No. ., Department of Vermont,
Grand Army of the Republic, held at their
headquarters last evening, at which there
was large attendance, Gen. T. s. Peck
denounced the attitude of certain people
in this country toward the United States
soldiers and sailors in the Philippines and
presented the following resolutions:
Whereas unjust and wicked attacks
have been. and are still being. made upon
our soldiers and sailors serving in the
Philippines. and the endeavor to injure
the proud name of the army and navy by
certain papers, as well as by Congress-
men and others, and "a fire in the rear
similar TO that of those antasonizing the
United States during the war for the pres
ervation of the Union, is now being car
rled on IN this country, causing the death
of many brave men and impeding the
work of the Government: Therefore,
Resolved, That the members of Stan
ment of Vermont, G.. A. r. desire in this
manner to express their unfailing belief
and confidence in the President of the
United States, the Secretary of War and
the brave, patient and patriotic followers
of the Flag, who have always done so
much for the cause of human liberty and
equal rights.
Resolved That we have no words in
which to express our disgust and shame
for those who are doing anything to re-
tard the work of bringing peace, freedom
and educa tion to the people of the Philip
pine Islands, who, by the fortunes of war
and by formal treaty, have become the
wards of the United States.

THE {. SANKERO.-
his Lot Is Not a Happy ore-A Peculiar Fig
ure of the Irrigation Country.


An Eastern farmer coming to an irri-
from his accustomed life as he can well
imagine. He must learn an entirely new
language of farming, and 4 new set OF
farming rules. His neighbor greets him,
not with the remark, 1T looks like rain,"
but, Have you heard when the water is
coming in?" or, 'The bitches are low to-
day" He learns to speak of miners
inches and aere-feet of water, and he can
soon tell at a glance whether a ditch Is
carrying 80 or 100 miners inches of
water; he hears wise discussions of head
gates, weirs, laterals, zaIIJes; he finds that
he is under" n certain canal, which by
and by will come to seem to him like an
inexorable fate. He will very promptly
make the acquaintance of the king of the
irrigated land, the Zanjero-in Arizona
called "Sankero,' i'll California sometimes
shortened to ''sanky'-the watermaster or
ditch-rider. bronzed man in overalls and
a soinbrero. who drives about in two
wheeled cart. with shovel and long
crookedtined fork by his side, and preci-
Gus keys in his pockets. He is the yea
and nay of the arid land, the arbiter of
fate, the dispenser of good and evil, to
be blessed by turns and cursed by turns,
and to receive both with the utter uneon-
