SLAVES FOR 1s YEARS

BY Sea Captain

San Francisco, July 1S.-Nineteen
survivors of several hundred South
Sea islanders. kidnapped eighteen
years ago from their native strand
and sold into slavery among the coffee
plantations of Guatemala. have arriv-
ed here on the steamer City OF Para.
They are free and homeward bound,
and they are travelling as tourists with
the Brisish government paying expen
SEES.
The natives were kidnapped by
Captain Blackburn now dead, who
visited the islands In his steamer the
Monserrat and, enticfng them aboard
sailed away. They were supposed
to be contract laborers bound to
their Guatemalan employers for three
years. Ignorant Of the language and
in q land where the law is sometimes
the dictator's will, II was easy to
keep them on the plantations where
they shaved until their plight was
made known to the British govern
ment, which, however, was not until
eighteen years had passed.

of $3.50, 900 has been subscribed by the
whisky interests to be spent in car

of the saloon. The Record has a

PENSACOLA FLORIDA wEDN EsDAY MORNING.

Broward's personal experience as q
seaman and as a contractor on Jetty
and harbor work mas, made him
familiar with the requirements at
every point and in the senate he
would be in a position to SO plainly
and correctly set forth in detail
these needs that he would be sure
to obtain favorable consideration for
all his rekuests.
Pensacola and West Florida are
particularly interested in having this
kind of a man in the federal senate.
The work of river and narbor i'm
provement has only just commenced
in this section and the gulf coast in
land waterway is project which
some one must carry through. The
ports of Carrabelle, Apalachicola, St.
Andrews, and Pensacela-the first
three particularly-must all be i'm
proved and all of the rivers that now
into these ports must be dredged out
for deeper traflc.
No man in Florida knows more OF
this work tran Governor Broward
and there are very few that are so
well equipped for it. His life has
been spent upon the sea and in work
connected with it. He could tell the
senate more in a minute about Flor
ida's needs in waterway and harbor
improvement than most men know
about it, and he has a faculty OF i'm
pressing himself upon those about
him in a manner that brings results
West Florida, which nedeS so much
attention from the federal govern
ment, should not. and we believe will
not, neglect this opportunity to sup
port a man for the senate who is
equipped to get her what she needs.

The Gilchrist Campaign
And the Liquor Interests.

II has been a matter of common
knowledge for some time that the
LIQUOR interests Of Florida and ad-
Joining states were giving to the Gil
christ campaign all of the support
which lay in their power. IL evidence
of this were not already sufficient, the
following significant letters, the orig
inals of which are now in the hands
of the Stockton campaign Committee,
should prove valuable object lessons
rs to what the Liquor peoples desires
in the matter are. The first letter
reads:

Dear Sir:
Enclosed you will find letter from
the G. Muller Co. to Mr.. d. l.. Thrift.
who is town marshal at this place.
The letter is self explanatory, and
thinking that you could use it to a
good advantage | requested him to al
low me to send it to you which he
readily agreed, requesting, however,
that the original be preserved. Muller
evidently missed his folks in this
man.
Wishing you a successful campaign,
am. yours truly,
p. S.-Might add that Mr.. Thrift
saws this whiskey was sent to him
without any knowledge or request of
his. in fact, knew nothing OF ii till
the arrival of the whiskey and letter
F.. LONG.
The journal has in its office. cleo
trotype facsimiies of both of the above
letters. and il is publishing them
elsewhere in this paper to-day.
Tt Is fact that Gilchrfst's biggest
majorities in the first primary came
from counties that are netoriously wet
notably Tfills6oro and Duval. In Els
Gambia county the Saloon men are
solid for Gilchrist, although he did not
carry this county because A majority
of the white voters here are opposed
70 allowing the Liquor interests to die
tate their policies and politics.
Escambia county may tolerate the
j presence of the Saloon-in fact many
good citizens believe the licensed Sa-
loon is the best way to control the
Liquor traffic-,but Escambia county
people draw the line when IL comes
