The council decided not to take action and re- “Spain will have to make reparation (0| forad the matter to the several unions affiliated. for the murder of the Japanese Japan [ arolines, or else there will traders in the be trouble,” said Captain Luttrell yester- | ragoltions and condemned THE CALL is false and without foundation in fact. _ Therefore, the council cannot take any action whatever until the several unions take action on the matter, to which all such day. *It wasnothing more nor less than a case of cold-blooded murder, and the | unfortunste Japs did not even get a fight- ing chance for their lives. “They were enterprising little fellows, and after a few months’ residence at Kusaei they controlled the trade of the group and established a regular line of schooners between the Carolines and Japan. When at the height of their pros- | perity the natives rose against them and | every one of them was murdered. It is: said the Spaniards instigated the uprising, | but that I cannot vouch for. -Now, let me give you my own private | opinion about the Japanese. I have no | love for the little brown man, but as a fighter he can’t be beaten. Every one of them made a fight for his life, and while there were twelve Japanese dead, at least twice that number of islanders accom- panied them to the happy hunting- | grounds before the sun set. “It was an unprovoked quarrel, and Japan will make Spain pay for the loss of life before the trouble is all over. Two gunboats were stationed at the Carolines when we leit, and the proposition was to shell the villages the first week in January unless the murderers of the Japs were | givenup to the commander of the Japa- nese fleet. The Japanese will insist upon | carrying their point, and Spain must give | in to her, as the Japanese are in force and | ready to enforce their demands.” 1 Captain Luttrell had a bad quarter of | an hour at Taputeouea. The British Con- sul got after him because he had left “‘a | destitute person’” on the islands and | wanted to fine him $100. Luttrell refused | to pay the fine, and took his agent and ‘ trade aboard and cleared out. | A year azo Captain Luttrell was in com- | mand of the schooner Viking, and had as | a passenger Mrs. Broeder and her three chilaren. They wantea to join her hus- | band and father in the Gilbert Group, but when they reached Taputeouea they found | he was at Ponapi in the Carolines. The German residents got up a subscription for her, and she was sent on her way re- joicing. On her -arrival at Ponapi Mrs. Broeder found that her husband had sailed for San Francisco to join her there. Dis- appointed the second time the wife was in despair. All her money was gone and she did not | know where to turn for relief. The Brit- ish Consul finally came to her assistance, and as there was a ship in port at that | time bound for Antwerp he shipped | her and the children as passengersand | gave her enough money to reach her home | in Baxony. Carl Broeder, the husband, learned of his wife's whereabouts from Captain Lut- | trell yesterday, and as soon as he can| raighten out his business here he will art for Germany to find his wife. *I took the woman to the Gilbert Group | as an act of charity,” said Captain Lut- | trell. “In order to accommodate her I bad to give up my room and bunk with the mate.

The Rain Failed to Keep Enthusiastic Music-Lovers Away. A heavy rainfail failed to keep away the music-lovers of the City from the Trebelli matinee at Golden Gate Hall, and well were they rewarded, for Mademoiselle Trebelli excelled herself. From the mo- ment she appeared she seemed thoroughly Encore after encore was demanded, and after bowing three and four times she was finally com- pelled to accede to the persistent de~‘ mands. The bolero from Verdi’s ‘‘Vepres Biciliennes” was the most important work done and elicited round aiter round of applause. For an encore she sang the “Laughing Song,” “Eciat pour Rire” from Auber’s “‘Manon Lescaut.”” Miss V.

Exercises Postponed One Week on Acrouat of the Inclemency of the Weather. The Sailors’ Union of the Pacific intends 10 have a jolly time in. celebration of the thirteenth anniversary of 1ts existence on Saturday evening next. For that matter, averything was programme for last even- ing, but the rain god stepped in and spoiled all the fun—a habit peculiar to ‘hat erratic deity. - Just thirtean years ago a few old sailors #athered at the foot of Folsom street, near i pile of lumber, and taere in the open %h-, with the cool salt breeze blowing in om the bay, formed what is known as e Sailors’ Union of the Pacific. It en- ‘4ured, and after some time a three-story xnck_umcmn was erected at the corner & Mission and East streets as headquar- “brs, * There are now about 250 members in the union, and it is divided into two compa- nies—A and B. -Every year the birth of the union is fittingly celebrated, and the nual event is ore in which the members ways iake a keen interest. First the members wiil gather at the hall on the corner of East and Mission streets. From there the line of march will Le to the foot of Fulsom-street wharf, where the organization was fourded. I‘Lr:e cheers will be given on this historic Lpol Then, with torches flaming and banners finunting and a band playing the famiiiar a:rs of the sea, the column will march up arket and other principal streets, re- terning at length to the hall, wherea piogramme of literary exercises will be cyrried out.

Mysell-RBollins, 22 Clay* NOT A GREEK BUT WOULD &0 The King’s Call to Arms Deeply Stirs Local Patriots. Members of the Reserve May Hasten to the Scene of Action, The Hellenic Society Will Hold an Emergency Meeting to Discuss the Situation. The local Greeks are deeply stirred by the intelligence that the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs has cabled to the act- ing Grecian Minister at New York in- structing him to call out the members of the Grecian reserve in the United States and to urge them by every means to go to the assistance of their native country. There is not a single able-bodied Greek in San Francisco who would not respond | to this call with alacrity if he were abte to doso. Unfortunately for any immediate practical evidence of patriotism, most of the members of the Greek colony are poor and have not the means at their disposal to carry them back to the old country. In this dilemma they chafe angrily, and are now trying hard to devise some feasi- | ble scheme to defray the necessary trans- portation expvenses. There are probablv about fifty members ot the reserve in this City, but that number does not include those others who, though they have never served in the ranks, are capable of carry- ing a musket. There is some possibility that the wealthy Greeks, of whom there are many in other parts of the United | States, will rise to the spirit of an inspir- ing occasion almost unparalleled in the annals of modern European history, and create a fund which will enable their war- like countrymen to obey this call to arms. The money recently raised by the Greeks in tnis City was designed to help the widows and orpbans of murdered sires 1n Crete, and cannot be diverted from that noble obiect. As soon as the proceeds of the Greek ball have been esti- mated and adaed to the sum previousiy raised by voluntary subscription the total will be forwarded to the Metropolitan Bishop of the Greek cuurch at Athens and by him distributed. The Hellenic Mutual Benevolent So- ciety will hold an emergency meeting on Wednesday evening, the 10th inst., and disciiss the situation. “We feel,” said A. J. Kosto last night, “that something shou!d be done and done quickly. Every Greek in the City feels that his country needs him, but without money what can he do? A'few, it is true, possess a little property, and these will, no doubt, try to sell it as soon as possible and hasten to the scene of action. The whole colony is deeply stirred by this intelligence and willleave no stone unturned to obey the call of their King and couniry. There are many here who be- long to the army reserve and would" joy- fully don their uniforms again in antici- pation of striking a decisive blow at'the power of the hated Ottoman. “The Hellenic Society will do its best to | promote this patriotic determination, and in the course of tte next few days we may | be able to report something definite.”’ | Stole a ** Poor ”” Box.
