Honolulu, Oct. 4, via San Francisco,
Oct. 12. The United Statea troop ehip
Pennsylvania arrived from Manila by
way of Guam yesterday. The Pennsyl
vania was the first vessel flying the
United States flag that had touched at
Guam since the Charleston took posses
sion. Two revolutions had taken place,which
were not bad, since republican principles
bad not been long in the land. : Incited
by the Spanish priests, twice had the
natives pulled down "Old Glory" and
hoisted the Spanish colors. Twice had
the local police hoisted the ensign of
Uncle Sam again, and no bloodshed had
ensued. The Poob Bah who is running
things in Guam for the United States is
reported to be a young sailor, who is
said to have deserted from one of the
whalers which touched there some time
ago.
Dysentery, mumps and measles were
epidemic at Manila when the Pennsyl
vania left.
On the night of Oct. 3d Second-Lieut.1
Merriam. U. S. A., and First-Lieut.
Wheelock, New York volunteers, decid
ed to run things in Honolulu, and de
clared martial law. Wheelock was pro
vost marshal in charge of the mounted
infantry. It is not known whether or
not Merriam was on duty. About 11 :S0
p. m. the two officers declared martial
law, and for two hours and a half this
condition of affairs prevailed.
Indignant citizens awoke General King
about 1 o'clock in the morning, and the
general caused the two officers to be
rounded up, and martial law was de
clared off.
The Hawaiian planters have not made
any overtures to the sugar trust; the
latter has made overtures to the plant
ers, and is now openly in the field with
a offer to contract for the Hawaiian sugar
for the next three years, expressly stip
ulating that the present arrangement
with the new California refinery shall
continue, which means that the Port
Costa refinery is to get 60,000 tons an
nually and the balance goes to San Fran
cisco or New York, as the trust may de
cide. Captain Tanner, U. S. N., has arrived
to select a suitable site for the coaling
wharf.
A BIG FIRE IN .
TAC0MA, WASH.
Partly Completed Tourists Hotel En
tirely Destroyed Incendarism is
Suspected.
Tacoma, Oct. ll.-The Tourists hotel,
under construction by the Northern Pa
cific Land Company, was burned tonight.
Officials of the land company say that
the building cost as it stood $470,000,
placing the loss at $200,000, with no in
surance, It was the purpose of the land
company to make this one of the finest
hotels in the country, and it would have
cost over $1 ,000,000. The hotel com
manded one of the finest sites in the
city, overlooking Puget sound.
During the fire tonight, W. F. Fen
more, of hook and ladder No. 5, was
thrown from the ladder and two men
fell upon him. He is internally injured
and may not live.
CONFINED IN A
CUBAN DUNGEON
Terrible Experience of Samuel Ensign,
An American Deprived of His
Liberty for Eighteen Long Years,
and Robbed.
Rockfoed, Oct. 12. Samuel Ensign,
an engineer of the old-time Racine &
Mississippi railroad, and -a resident of
this city for many years, has returned,
old and broken in health, with a sad
story of imprisonment and suffering in
Cuba.
When Ensign left Rockford he went
to Cuba, where he obtained a situation
as engineer in a sugar refinery. One
night Ensign, with two fellow workmen,
resisted an assault made upon a native
woman by Spanish soldiers. The next
morning, Ensign says, all three were
taken prisoners to Havana, where they
were placed in Moro Castle. One of the
men died in seven months and the other
lived two and a half yeare.
For thirteen years and five months
Ensign alleges he was confined in the
castle, allowed to epeak to no one, and
only allowed to welk through .the corri
dor 204 feet long for recreation. At the
expiration of that time he was taken out
to work with a ball and chain on his
ankle, constrncting a piazza. At that he
worked five years. He became friendly
with the monks and attendents of the
neighboring monastery, and one night
was spirited away and placed on a man-of-war,
which finally landed him in
Jlexico.
When placed in prison Ensign claims
he had certificates of deposit to the
amount of $8000 and $1000 in money,
none of which was ever returned to him.
Deainesa Capnot be Cored
by local -applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.

FIGHT BETWEEN
OFFICERS AND
STRIKERS
Arrival of Importei Nepes Causes a
Figlit in W&icli Twenty Men
Were Killed anfl. WormrM.
ANOTHER BATTLE
IN PROGRESS
All Sorts of Wild Reports Are Flying
Broadcast, One of Which is to
the Effect that One Hundred Men
Were Killed and Wounded.
Virden-, 111., Oct. 12. The arrival of
the imported Negroes from the south at
12:30 today was followed by a desperate
battle. Five hundred . shots were ex
changed between the strikers on one
side, and Sheriff Davenport and depu
ties and railroad police on the other.
It ia thought at least twenty men on
both sides were killed and wounded, and
five seriously wounded.
When the Chicago & Alton train bear
ing the Negroes arrived, it was met by
fully 1500 armed miners, who were lined
up on each side of the track between the
telegraph office and the mines of the
Chicago Virden Coal Company. The
train was stopped immediately in front
of the east gates of the stockade, and the
trouble began. Dozens of shots were
fired from the stockade at the men,
while the strikers were half a mile away
and one Chicago and .Alton policeman
was undoubtedly killed by a shot from
the tower.
The wildest rumors are afloat, one of
which is that as many as fifty miners
have been killed. The town is in the
greatest excitement. Men are securing
whatever arms they can get hold of, ex
pecting to use them for their own pro
tection should the trouble spread.
Shortly before 1 :30 Managar Luken
tried to make his eecape from the Bhaft.
The attempt was the signal for another
fusilade from a body of men said to be
miners. The manager and a small body
of detectives ran into an alley behind
the postoffice. The attacking party,
however, continued to fire away. It is
not known whether any of the Bhots
took effect. The city marshal tele
graphed the chief of police of Spring
field to send a special train with doctors.
Sheriff Davenport has sent a telegram to
Governor Tanner, asking that troops
be sent immediately. The sheriff thinks
possibly one hundred men have been
killed and wounded,but others deem the
estimate too large. There is the great
est indignation against the mine opera
tors. Luken is held responsible for the
tragedy.
Springfield, Oct. 12. Governor Tan
ner has just received a telephone mes
sage from Sheriff Davenport, of Virden,
stating that over one hundred men have
been killed in riots at that place, and
that the battle continues. The govern
or immediately ordered the militia from
Pana to proceed at once to the scene of
the tragedy.
Springfield, Oct. 12. A bullet-riddled
train pulled into the Chicago &
Alton dopot here this afternoon from
Virden. One deputy is dead. He was
riding on the front of the car with a
Winchester, when the miners fired on
him. He discharged his Winchester
and was shot almost to pieces. Bert
Kyger, of Bloomington, who was draw
ing the train, was shot in the arm.
There were about two hundred and
fifty armed miners in Virden. The train
was loaded with negroes, who say they
came here under false representations
from the operators.
