The Sandwich Islands.
Washington, March 31 It the reve.
nne cotter Rush, od her trip from Sac
Francisco to Honolulu, has made the or.-
dinary rate of speed, Bloont, President
Cleveland's special commiasioner, is now
on the Hawaiian islands, and his iDVesti
gation into the condition of affairs tbere
has began. A story said to have been
brought to San Francisco by the United
States ship Alliance that Japan was bar
bonne designs noon the islands in case
the United States should conclude not to
take possession or control of them, has
made little impression here. At toe Jap-
enese legation it was said for Minister
Taneoo, in response to inquiries, that the
legation bad no information whatever
upon the subject. In the absence of any
communication from the government or
from the Japanese consul at Honolulu,
any expression of opinion upon trie prob
abilities of the situation respectiug Ja
pan and Hawaii were withheld by the
minister. The story brought by toe Al
liance said the officers of the Japanese
warshio in the harbor of Honolulu
seemed to be acting under the influence
of the British representatives there. This
much of the tale is corroborative ot toe
statements contained in a letter from a
member of the provisional government
to one of the annexation commissioners
in Washington, heretofore mentioned in
these dispatches. To at official wrote that
since Wodebouse, the isntisD commis
sioner, had seat bis formal note of recog
nition to the provisional government as
the de ficto government, he had avoided
any intercourse or communication with
the members, and up to time the letter
was written the officers of the warship,
no were in constant association witu
the British officials, had failed to pay
the ordinary and customary visits of
courtesy to the member of the govern
ment.
A Conspiracy Discovered.
Panama. March 81 .The government

conspiracy, Gutierrez, recently returned
from an exile to wblch be bad been con
demned on account of a previous revolt
against tbe government. Tbe autbor
ities were advised of their plans, and de
cided to allow them to proceed and cap
ture them in tbe act of treason. - The
cobspirators made tbe attack on the de
pot, secured the arms and ammunition,
and that moment they were taken by
surprise by the government troops, who
look posseseion of both tbe conspirators
and their munitions of war ' Tbe coun
try was at once placed under martial law
The' government intends to make an ex
ample of the conspirators.

Slurderers Thought to Be Drowned.
Sacramento, Cal., March 81 Sheriff
Wyckoff has abandoned the search for

lieves that both men perished while at
tempting to escape, and bas caused a re
ward ot $20 to be offered for tbe recovery
of each body. Late last night the poase

The bodies of tbe six persons taken from
tbe ruins were burned beyond recognition.
Last night 125 persons went to sleep in
tbe buildings, and wbile many jumped
from tbe second and third-story windows,
it is ieared many others perished in the
flames. It was after 0 o'clock1 before tbe
first body was found. It was an unrec
ognizable charred mass of flesh. The
second was found soon after in a eimilar
condition. The inmates of tbe Higgins
building were awakened from their sleep
by a man who rushed through the ball
ways, kicking at the doors and calling
nre. ' Men and women rushed from
their rooms into the balls, already filled
witb smoke and flames, and the general
cry was. "J amp from tbe windows and
save yourselves. Many did so, bnt tbe
urap was a bad one to risk. From the
pper story it was 30 feet on tbe west

Shamokin, Pa., April 1 A miner s
lamp caused an explosion in the Nielson
Shaft, operated by Langdon & Co., Ibis

at work as usual. Ten dead have been
recovered. It is not definitely known
whether any more are in the mine, which
is burning fiercely, witb momentary dan
ger of an explosion. Attempts were made
to fight tbe fire, but those wbo started to
do so were compelled to flee for their
lives. Tbe : 10 men wbo lost their lives
were at work aearly 100 feet above where
the fire .'broke out. Through tbe airway
tbe smoke poured, suffocating the unfor
tunates like rats in a trap. Almost tbe
entire town gathered in the vicinity of
the burning mine. Tbe scenes were most
distressing. About midday a rescuing
party went down tbe shaft. When tbey
bad proceeded a abort distance, under
constant danger of suffocation, they came
acioss the bodies of two men locked in
each other's arms. Further on the bod
ies of eight more men were tound, mak
ing 10 dead in all. Tbe bodies were re
moved to the surface -with ' much diffi
culty and taken to the blacksmith shop,
where most pathetic scenes were wit
nessed. Only two mules were gotten out
alive. Tbere are 30 dead in the mine.

A serious situation stares the people of
Salem. The district can only contract an
indebtedness of $100,000. The present in
debtedness is $56,000 It will require $34,

have been voted to cost $30,000. Total,
$120,000, which would be illegal. An elec
tion is being held on voting bonds for the
new school bouses. The directors now call
noon the taxpayers to vote down the bonds,
unless they want the schools closed for sev

Tbe floor of a bouse on Third street in
Portland was found Tnuraday evening bored
with an anger, and the holes filled 'with
kerosene. Some of these were made near
the landing on the second floor, and were
evidently intended to bar the entrance of
firemen dnnng a conflagration. Tbey were
bored so carefully and covered by the oar
pet that no doubt is entertained that it was
intended to hide the work. This leaves no
question that a band of thngs infest Port
land, who would not scruple at any dia
bolical means to carry out their desires after
plunder.
The cold weather and heavy snow of last

says it would seem that a great many bad
survived: - "Chinese pheasants are very
numerous on the bottoms in spite of tbe
hard winter. A sportsman informed as that
a cock could be heard crowing in nearly
every brush pile or thicket last Sunday in
his rambles, aod disputes the theory that
many of these birds perished during tbe
winter. - ,

of the danger., . When the train stopped ths
man was picked up in an exhausted oondi-.

ugly wounds. ' On examining the place, a
rail was found diagonally aoross the track,
