He states
that he has had some correspondence

has askod him to come to a final con

“ If the company shall not avail itself
of the Hawaiian contiact, it contem

London, Sept. 10.— The correspond
ent of the London Standard, telegraph
ing Thursday from the British battle
ship Caui|ierd,iwn, o ff Candia, says:
The refugees tell ghastly stories of
massacres. They re|sirt that no fewer
than 700 Christians are missing. Sev
eral attempts were made la*t night to
set on fire the offices of the Eastern
Telegraph Company. It has been as
certained that all the houses overlook
ing the Britieh camp were loop-holed
for rifle fire and barricaded.
This
shows clearly that the outbreak was
preconcocted.
The behavior and attitude of the
Turkish troops have been and still are
inexplicable. Without going so far as
to assert that they took part in the at
tack on our troops—though many peo
ple are ready to affirm that they actual
ly saw the sultan’s soldiers firing on
our soldiers— it is impossible to con
tradict the positive fact that they made
no attempt to render assistance.
Every Christian survivor of the mas
sacre swears that the butchery was
mostly the work of Turkish soldiers,
who first robbed and then slew their
victims.
Edhetn Pasha is the man who ought
to be held primarily responsible. Had
he wished to prevent bloodshed he
would most certainly have done so.
Not till the British troops under Col
onel Reid had been fighting hard foi
four hours did Edhetn, with bis Turk
ish soldiers, arrive upon the scene. He
then had the effrontry to say that he
had only just heard that the British
troops were being attacked by thou
sands of baslii-bazouks. It is needless
to comment en their brazen-faced ex
cuse. It is enough to say that Edhetn
Pasha must have known what was hap-
|iening fiom tbe moment the first shot
was fire-1, if, indeed, he did not ar
range tiie plot himself.

Prof. Dean C. Worcester contributes
to the September Century an article on
“ The Malay Pirates of the Pnilip-

sor Worcester says:
Toolaweo was considered a good
Moro, and we were therefore interested
in certain incidents which gave us an
insight into his character. After sat
isfying him self by observation that we
could use our lifles with some effect,
he made us a rather startling business
proposition in the following words:
“ You gentlemen shoot quite well with
the rifle.” “ Yes; we have had some
experience.” “ You desire to get sam
ples of the clothing and arms of my
countrymen for your collection?”
“ Y es.” “ Papa (General Arolas) told
you. if you met armed Moors outside
the town, to order them to lay down
their arms and retire?” “ Y es.’’ “ Papa
-loes not understand my (>eop.e as I do.
They are all bad.
When we meet
them, do not ask them to lay down
their aims, for they will come back
again, and get them, and probably at
tack us. Just shoot as many of them
as possible. You oan then take their
arms and clothing, and I will cut off
theii heads, shave their eyebrows, «how
them to papa, and claim the reward for
killing juramentados. ” He i.ever real

liberal basis.

The Century for September prints
an article on “ Life and Society in Old
Cuba,” being extracts from the journal
of Jonathan S. Jenkins, an Ameiican
painter of miniatures, written in 1859.
Mr. Jenkins says:
When an acquaintance visits a pri
vate residence, cigars are handed round
on a silver salver; if the visitor be an
intimate friend, one of the young girls
of the laruily, called a “ donzallia,”
lighte a cigar and giving it a few draws
to get well lighted, gracefully presents
it to him. If the guitar is brought in,
as usually occurs (for there is one in
every house), and the visitor plays, his
cigar is kept lighted by the donzalia,
and at each pause in tbe music she po
litely hands it to the guest. This may
occur several times in an evening, and
this friendly ceremony is pleasant
enough when the cigar comes from the
pouting lips of a rich Spanish beauty
just ripening into womanhood, bat io
any case it must be thankfully accepted.
