_ crafts having run into one of the oo PIRATES WIPED OUT. Sixty Killed While the Hearts of Two Were Taken out an Eaten. San Francisco, Cal , March 15.— The steamship City of Rio De Jan- eiro arrived to-day from Yokohama apd Hong Kong. A Yokohama pa-} per prints the following account of the extermination of pirates ina Chinese village last January: On January 15, last two piratical tfumerous inlets in the vicinity of Shehpu, called Fan tu, for shelter, apme of the pirates landed ostensi Qy for the purpose of making a few purebases. It so happened that spme of the pirates who landed that day were recognized by the inhabi- fauts who, however, held their i timate acquaintance with the } rime Minister of Queen Lilivokalani I was permitted an insight into the inter nul affairs of the kingdom such us was enjoyed by no other foreigner I was given an andience with the Queen at the dowager house ard found her a woman whose intelli- geuce was more thau ordinary aid whose acquaintance with internation- al law and diplomatic relatious would put to shame many of cur of ficials in public life who lay claim to ability in statecraft. Ske said at the interview that ehe had abundant confidence in the goverument at Washington to do her justice, and) spoke several times of her desire to cede to the United States Pearl Har bor for a coaliug station.” Mr. Rice further stated that Pres ident Cleveland's plan to send a tongues while the pirates were in atght. No sooner had the men re- €yrned to their junks than the alarm was silently given and the principal shen of the village immediately call ed two brothers who were officers belonging to a regiment garrisoued at Ningho. Ata consultation held the brothers were asked to leada ody of their fellow villager who had determined to wreak summary vengeance on their unwelcome visi tors. Accordingly 300 well armed men shrprised the pirates during a rag- ing of the storm in the early hours of the morning. The two pirate guuks were surrounded. In another minute the two junks swarmed with the dark figures of the villagers who amid the shouts of their companions m the shore bust open the hatches and doors of the cabins, and poured a stream of bullets upon the fifty or sixty piriates who were huddled to- gether upon the lower decks of the juuks. They were thoroughly taken by surprise, hardly any resistance was made, all the pirates being a+ most hacked to pieces by the exas- perated villagers, who had sufferd defore from pirates. The two pirates who were not treated this way, however, were taade way with in a different manuer. Tt seemed that among the many vil agers who had beeu killed by the pirates on different occasions there happened to be one who was a son of the patriarch of the village and so that morning at daylight the two pirates, escorted by the whole com munity, were led to the grave of the young map, and after being secured to a ccuple of stakes put up for the ‘purpose, two of the nearest relatives of the dead man plunged their knives into the breasts of the un- iuoky pirates and ripping open ther bodies extricated their hearts which were put smoking hot on a plate ard placed on a table, upon which were already lighted candles and an in- cense burned. While all this was going on the relatives of the deceas ad, dressed in mourning colors of white, were gathered by the side of the grave crying aud callin on the spirit of the dead to receive the sac- vifice that was being offered as ven- geance had been taken on his mur derers. The offerings were then left at the grave at the end of the ghastly ceremonies and the villagers proceeded to ransack the junks, af ter having first thrown the bodies overboard into the sea. The plunder of the junks, gold, silver, rice, silks and satius, was then equally divided among the fam ilies who had suffered at the hands of the pirates previously, and asa finale of the last act of the tragedy, the junks were towed into the stream and set on fire and burned to the water's edge. The bodies of the two victims of the sacrifice were al- so thrown into the sea, while their hearts were ‘afterwards cooked and eaten by the dead man’s relatives and whoever desired to do so. Beheyes in a Protectorate Only. Grand Junction.{Colo., March 15, —Geo. Arthur Rice, one of the best known financiers in the state, presi- dent of several banks and largely in- terested in the Tintic mining region ofUtah, arrived in this city to day di- rect from Honolulu. He said: “I am opposed to annexation. I Delieve that 85 per cent of the peo- ple, and I include the foreign popu- Zation, are in favor of the mainte- snnance of the old monarchical system. The opposition to thereinstatement of the Queen comes from those in- terested in pauper labor upon the sugar plantations. On account of cowmisson to the island was a good one, and their report would justify his action in withdrawing the treaty. Mr. Rice is very positive in his as sertions that a protectorate only would be the proper p'an for the government to pursue. Gresham’s Good Memory. Washington, D. C., Mareh 15.— William B. Sarsby, consul to Guaya- quil, Ecuador, will learn to-morrow morning that this government can dispense with his services and do business. He obtained his place by rifling his partner's desk while pre tending to be a sound democrat and trading certain papers he found therein tothe republicans. He had drifted inco Catchings’ district in Mississippi and in some manner 5: - cured an interest in a country demo- cratic newspaper. While there he learned that his partuer had in his desk personal letters relating to the negro vote in his district, and get ting these he came to Washington avd demanded remuneration for this a-t from Senator Quay. The Penn sylvania man offered money, but it was refused and ‘a foreign post of some sort asked for. He was sent to Guayaquil Subsequently the letters stole by Sursby were used in the Catchings Hill election contest, but ineffective ‘y. Secretary Gresham remembers this case very distinctly and he pro poses the very first thing to mete out justice. To-morrow morving, therefore, he will cut off Mr. Sarsby’s head by cable, and telegraph at the yoverument’s expense in plain words not to be misunderstood. He will bea succeeded G. G Dillard of Macon, Ga., who will thus receive the first consular appointment from the new administration. The Alliance And Politics. New York, 13.—The follwing letter from Dr. Macune, editor of the official organ of the Farmers, Alliance, was read at the meeting of the Central Labor union. I believe the true interest of the farmers aud the laborers are in har- mony, and much gcod may be ac complished by securing a better understanding between these two} great classes and by co-operating in many ways. I realize that the greatest obstacle to such a desirable condition of affairs at his time is the supposed partisan political con- nection of the Alliance, and I know that this has also been a great in jury to the Alliance. But there is a large majority of the Alliance who are making a a brave and determin-} ed fight against the domination of} any political party and they are de | termined to preserve the Alliance free from any political entanglements as a fraternal and co operative labor union. The letter wound up with an ap- peal to the Central Labor union for assistance in bringing about a_bet- ter understanding between the rural and urban workers. No Bribery In America. New York, March 13.—The con- gressional committee on the Parama} canal made public its report Satur- day. It finds that the banking firms Seligman & Co. Drexel Morgan & Co. and Winslow, Lanier & Co., handled $8,000,000 of Panama canal money, and received $50,000 a year each for eight-years for their work.
