THE TELEPHONE

HILO, Dec. H. Judge Little of Hilo
is more than active in Americanizing
the Island of Hawaii. He is not only
giving long talks on the various branch
es but is carrying on a kind of lab
oratory system OF instruction where he
makes actual demonstrations OF his
subject. Just now he is engaged in a
practical course of boycotting as it is
carried on in America.
A week ago the Judge engaged in a
discussion with the Hilo Telephone Co.
in which the principal matters referred
to were a small bill due for a long time
and His Honor's Discrimination to fol-
low the Company's regulations. When
the discussion closed the relations be-
tween the Americanizer and the Com
pany were very much strained. The
formers telephone was at once discon-
nected and the operators instructed tC
refuse to give the Judge any connection
whatever.
The Jurist's wrath knew no bounds
He at once ordered all of the telephones
taken out of the court house. The court
bailiff, Silva, was Immediately sent fol
and when he was given an audience
he was Instructed to at once order hi:
own telephone taken out of his house
The bailiff, being in the habit of obey
ing the orders of the Judge, at once
complied, and the Company is now
poorer by at least three subscribers.

the same time he fired point blank at
my heart. The bullet entered nv
breast little over the heart. | closed
with him and we had rough and tum-
bic fight of it in the cabin. during
which I was wounded in the arm. and
battered about the head with a club.
Inc mate came to my assistance.
Hobbs killed him with shot through
the heart. Then help arrived and
hobbs made off. He left me terribly
wounded with five bullet holes. and
otherwise injured by clubs.
The first mate took charge of the
vessel. He called the crew aft and
made an endeavor to secure the can
tain's assailants, but they kept for
ward and nobody dared face their re-
volyers. When morning broke. how
ever, they were discovered floating mast
on a raft which they had constructed
during the darkness. We let them go.
The first mate thought it made good
radiance to bad rubbish. He did not
have the facilities on board to take
care of three idle murderers
1.-THE mutineers made their frail raft
out of loose planks and coops during
the night. They put some provisions
aboard and are supposed 90 have had
enough food to last them a week"
The captain is unable to account for
the mutiny. He supposes it was the
intention of the mutineers to murder
the officers and the men who refused to
join them and take the ship to Pitcairn
Island.
Pitcairn Island is solitary Island in
the Pacific ocean, situated in about lat
itude 25 south and about $50 west. II
is two and quarter miles in length
and has but one landing place, al

When the British sloop-of- war
Shearwater, which was recently in Ho-
nolulu, arrives at Pitcairn Island por-
ton of her crew will probably take in
charge three of the vilest murderers
that have courted d hangman's rope,
for three mutineers who escaped from
the British ship Leicester Castle, after
mutinying and killing the second Of
f1cer Of the vessel, are supposed to
have reached the lonely colony Of the
families of the mutineers of the famous
British ship Bounty on a hastily con-
structed raft. The British ship arriv-
ed in Queenstown with this story on
December and, if the British author
tiles acted promptly, they had time to
cable message to the Shearwater,
which is probably at Tanning Island
now, and the sloop's officers can do the
rest as they are bound for Pitcairn
anyway.
Dispatches from Queenstown, Ire
land, give the following particulars:
Three American sailors are alleged
to have killed the mate and shot tho
captain of the British ship Lcicestel
Castle, after which they fed from the
vessel by taking frail raft in the
middle of the South Pacific. Such is
tie report of Captain Peattie Of th'
Leicester Castle, which left San Fran

The alleged mutineers are w. A. Hobb:
of Illinois, James Turner of Portland

Nothing has been heard OF them since
and it is presumed they persisted
either from hunger and thirst or b.
storm. The murdered mate was name:

The mutiEy occurred September 2
when the vessel was about 800 miles
north of Pitcairn Island. The Ameri
