Letters From Samoa.
Washington April 20.—The morn-
ing’s mail delivered at the navy de-
partment today brought two letters
from Admiral Kimberly referring to
the wrecking ot the American fleet at
Apia. It is understood they were ac-
companied by a long detailed report
but this has not yet reached the de
partment. The first letter was dated
Apia March 19th and reads : “Secre-
tary of the navy Sir—l have to
to commend to the government
of the United States the very great
assistance we have received in saving
public property from our wrecked ves-
sels at this place from Mataofa
Malietoa who without any request on
my part called on me personally and
sent some hundreds of his men to as-
sist our people in saving stores
and materials from the wrecked
vessels and when the Nipsic
and Vandalia went on shore the
natives risked their lives to save those
of our men who endeavored to reach
here by swimming and two of them
lost their lives in the sea attempt-
ing it. If some recognition of these
services could be made I think it
would be appreciated very high-
ly by the Samoans particularly
as they have so generally given their
services and la two cases their lives
to befriend us.” Under dates of Apia
March 21st Admiral Kimberly writes:
“The Nipsic was got off last night
and is now afloat without rudder or
rudder post and her crew is now en-
gaged in trying to getup her chains.”
The Vandalia is a total wreck and
broken in two only her foremost is
standing. We are engaged securing a
mooring for the Nipsic and in wreck-
ing the Trenton and Vandalia. Our
sick and injured are doing well. It
will perhaps be well to send the
wrecking vessel here later in the
season to save the Trenton’s
heavy guns ammunition etc.
I have received from Capt. Henry C.
Kane Royal Navy Commander of the

and will use it for all its worth. I
gave to the Calliope one of our ten-
oared cutters.

The Bee county people have gone
heartily to work in behalf of the

“In another column will be found a

on the 22nd inst. (San Jacinto Day)
in the interest of the Alamo monu-
ment. On this day there will be a
meeting for a similar purpose in every
county in the state and Bee must not
be behind. Every man who has a
spark of patriotism will contribute
something.”
The Bee will accept thanks for this
announcement and the Light hopes
that its prophecy will ba abundantly
fulfilled.
Texas grazing and agricultural
lands are in finer condition today tak-
ing the whole state over than they
have ever been. There is no state
east or west presents such a splendid
promise for cattle cotton and corn as
does the state of Texas today. Every
visitor from the east and north who
crosses her broad acres today is en-
thusiastic over the prospects of a
state whose agricultural possibilities
they so imperfectly comprehend. No
state in all this great Nation will feel
the tide of prosperity rolling in upon
her people with such volume as prom-
ises for the Lone Star State this sea-
son.

kie the Texas capital contractor to
the detriment of American me-
chanics. _____

TEXAS SUPREME COURT.
Schriener vs. Probant from Bexar
County Affirmed.
The case’of Emma Schriener vs. D.
M. A. Probant which came up from
Bexar county was a suit by Mrs. Pro-
bant to establish title to au undivided
one-third interest in a lot in this city
and for partition. The case was de-
cided iu favor of the plaintiff and ap-
pealed controversy being as to the
particular portion of the ground set
apart and error in assigning to Mrs.
Proband that portion upon which
Mrs. Schriener had made improve-
ments. Original decree affirmed the
court holding that “if the first judg-
ment was rendered at a previous term
ot the court then upon the adjourn-
ment the rights of the parties therein
adjudicated became fixed and the
court could do no more at a subse-
quent term than make such orders as
were necessary to give effect to that
judgment. The first judgment is the
foundation of the second decree in
partition suits.
The Freeman’s Journal of Galves-
ton the leading exponent of colored
sentiment in this state edited by Mr.
Richard Nelson a well known and
intelligent colored republican makes
war upon the colored leaders of the
party charging Mr. Cuney with hav-
ing defeated a straight republican
state nomination in the interest of
Marion Martin a disgruntled but un-
converted democrat. Citing these
facts the Freeman asks: “Can the pre-
sent administration cognizant of the
treachery of the negro consistently
reward the men who were instrumen-
tal in bringing it about with office?”
This question as put by Mr. Nelson
contains its own answer and the con-
clusion of the editor ot the Freeman is
that no color considerations should
come in for or against an applicant
but that intelligence and party fealty
and business capacity and character
should be alone considered. The true
inwardness of the charge of Mr. Nel-
son is unknown to the Light but in
the main proposition the Light cor-
dially agrees. Mr. Nelson further
says with great point and truth:
“Who are the parties seeking recog-
nition at the hands of the adminis-
tration? Do they represent the best
element of the republican party of the
south irrespective of color? With but
very few exceptions no man can an-
swer these questions iu the affirmative
and tell the truth.”
For once the democracy and the
republicans of the country are agreed.
They both rejoice in the appointment
of Corporal Tanner as commissioner
of pensions at Washington. It mat-
ters little that differences upon which
the agreement is based are radical
and irreconcilable the agreement is
the thing just now. The boys in blue
are rid of their burden in black.
El Paso is in a condition. Her last
municipal election resulted in a re-
publican victory on the face of the re-
turns. The old council was composed
of five democrats and three republi-
cans. The five democrats refused to
count the ballots. The mayor insist-
ed on count. The democrats walked
out of the council room leaving no
quorum. The mayor proceeded to
count but the clerk refused to record
the tally there being no quorum. The
mayor counted and announced the re-
publican candidate Krakauer elect-
ed. He was sworn in and commenced
to exercise his functions. He found
the city safe locked. The marshal
had sent police to guard it. The re-
publicans rallied to the rescue and
with five cases of Winchesters in the
hands of the new police held the fort.
The district judge granted an injunc-
tion restricting the mayor from acting
and the sheriff’served the injunct’on.
Krakauer is under arrest for contemnt
because he refused to turn over the
combination of the safe. The end is
not yet but El Paso is safely out of
democratic hands. Such mob law
will not long be permitted to rule in
that community where there are so
many determined white republican*.
