PORTO RICANs SLOWED AWAY

A strange lot of stowaways came TO
port yesterday in the big steamer Ko-
rea from Honolulu. It is often the
case that half a dozen or more men
stow away in the liners. but in this
instance the unwelcome passengers
consisted of two men, two women ana
three little children, all appearing to
be of one family. in some unaecount-
able manner they boarded the Korea
at Honolulu and invaded the steerage
quarters where they remained more
than a day before being discovered by
the liners officers.
Men, women and children were being
well cared for by their fellow travel
ers, and Of course, good treatment had

THE POET

Siemsen CIaimsLineage
With Proudest of
Families.

SAN FRANCISCO, November g.
founding gaspipe murderer, furnishes a
new sensation almost every hour Of
the day. That this moral monster is
destined 70 be considered one OF the
greatest criminals Of this or any age
is certain. He is an artist, a writer,
mechanic, musician, gentleman at
large, a ladies' gallant, and has served
in the army in the Philippines and
during the Boxer Instruction. Yes
terday he spent part of his time in
writing the story of his life for an
Eastern publishing house.
With the hand that welded the gas
pipe which struck down Banker Muna-
kata, William Friede and Johannes
Pftzner, John Siemsen penned the fol-
lowing verses yesterday morning:
FEW YEARS FROM NOW.
a few years from now, perhaps two or
three,
Who then viii care that have lived
IL tAA4tIjCG OF want.
Who then viii shed a tear, as by my
grave they stray,
Or even know my resting place in those
far distant days?
And yet, though none may trace the
influence to its source,
No life doth ever cease to work with
good or evil force.
And other lives shall be, as I have lived
and died,
Or base. or noble, heed it well, to never
trust a friend.
Such is my thought as sit here in this
gloomy cell,
knowing I'll soon be forgotten a few
years from now.
Siemsen speaks of the murders he
has committed without the slightest
siders himself a superman. The laws
of God and man were not made for
him; he believes himself superior to all
OF them. Never has he hesitated to
stood in the path of his desires. He
had carefully considered beforehand
the consequences of his acts, he admits,
and studied out every detail Of thel
crimes he contemplated with a view of
taking every precaution for his own
safety
Siemsen's father was one Of the pio-
neer German business men of Honolulu.
His mother was a kanaka, and the
strain of island blood in him shows
very plainly He was given a fine edu-
cation, and the position of his family
was such that he could mingle in the
best society in Honolulu.

prominent people in Honolulu
In justice to my parents I wish to
state that 7 am a son of one of the
proudest and best families living to-
day, though thrown out on the world
through, probably, my own fault. I
viii state that pride alone for my peo-
pie will prevent me from divulging my
family affairs. Should my parents
ever see or hear of this I hope they
will consider the family pride and for
