THE MURDER OF MR. MENOKE,

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1901.

THE DUKE OF YORK AT SYDNEY.

PRESENTATION OF ADDRESSES. After the levee, says the Sydney Telegraph, various public bodies presented addresses to the Duke, who received them standing in front of the dais. The address from the Municipal Council of the City of Sydney was contained. in the handsome gold casket, and that from the Council of Newcastle in a silver casket, An interesting feature of the function was the presentation of the address on behalf of the Chinese residents by Mr. Quong Tart, who

HOW THE ATTACK WAS MADR.

The Eberhard arrived from Macassar yester day, says the Straits Timer of 8th instant, and anchored in the roads. This morning a repre- sentative of the Straits Times went on board and had a long and very interesting interview with Dr. Heinroth. That gentleman informed our representative that I was originally in tended to make an expedition into the Islands of New Britain, and especially the Bismark Archipelago.

These latter were trained in the use of rifles on board, After cruising about a short time in the islands, and getting more "boys," Dr. Heinroth went ashore at usa in order to collect birds. The expedition then went on to an island called St. Matthias, north of New Britain. St. Matthias is a big island, and there are two small islands near it On one of these

"I am deeply moved by your touching alle. sion to the memory of my beloved grandnie- who, throughout her long reign, watched with the deepest interest and pleasure the develop, ment ofher Australian colonies, and the general advancement and prosperity of their people.

I am gratefu beyond measure for the hearty welcome which you have extended 10 the Duchess and myself on our arrival in New South Wales, and we shall always look back with feelings of pride and pleasure to the magnificent reception accorded to us when we landed in Sydney on Monday last. I never forget those happy and interesting weeks which I spent with my dear brother in this country 20 years ago.

The expedition consisting of Mr. Mencke and his Secretary, Mr. Caro, Dr. Heinroth and ong of the white men of the crew accompanied by forty or filly black "boys" landed at St. Mat thias They erected their tonts on the south end of the island and built quite a little town of altogether, sixteen small houses and tents. They supped there about a week and, some times the Kanakas came to traile. They would not take anything but empty boules and calico in exchange for spears and native. weapons. A few days before the disaster, they showed rather an unfriendly temper. They brought more spears with them than usual, One fine morning about 8 o'clock, Mr. Mencky and Mr. Caro were sleeping in their tents and Dr. Heinroth was attending to the sick. Nobody suspected anything and all the "boys were busy cleaning the rifles. All at once some one called out: The Kanakas have come!" Before anybody could grasp a weapon or form any idea as to what was happening, the natives had surrounded the tents of the Europeans and hurled their spears as best as they could throughtheless in a position to; ongratulate you upon the tents. Dr. Heinroth went inside his tent for his revolver and shot down one of the sagests beauty, and so richly endowed by nature who was attempting to spear him from the door of the tent. Mr. Caro was speared through the bean and died on the spot while r

Mencke had six spears in him. The Dacior

The black "bys" picked up some of the fallen spears and defended themselves with, them the fracas was over in a few minutes. Mr. Mencke was badly wounded and uncup scious and all the white men were wounded. Two "boys" were killed and saven badly wounded. The savages had disappeared. The Doctor thereupon decided to beat a hasty re treat, as the natives might come back azain and kill them all. In the fight to to 20 natives were killed. They only used spears, holding four to five in the left hind and one ready far hurling in the right hand. Half of the black boys had fed in one of the boats, and Dr. Heinroth put the thirty remaining hands in the only beat left and made for the German station. As the bout was overcrowded, the body of Mia a most portentous and expensive foreign war. Caro was left behind and it is believed that After such experience the United States dres the savages ate it, It took six hours to cover the 8 or 10 miles to the station. On arrival there the Doctor extracted the spears (which were barbed and made nasty wounds) from Mr. Mencke' body, but he died two days afterwards: The Eberhard was away getting the mails and provisions at the time, and she did not return. for 7 days. By that time, Mr. Mencke, was dead.

Dr. Helaroth thinks that the natives at acked the party because he ordered some coconut trees to be cut down to build huts with. The coco-nuus form a staple in the diet of the

natives.

When the yacht returned, the Doctor deter mined to set out on a punitive expedition. They went to an island where they expected to find the natives, and surrounded the place with boats and a steam-launch. Not a soul was found on the island. The Doctor grimly remarked that if they had found any natives, not one of them would have escaped. The yacht then went to Matupi, and Dr. Heinroth telegraphed home to Germany and asked Mr. Mencke's relations whether they were to con tinue the expedition or to return to Europe. The answer came back that they were to retum In Germany and either to sell the yacht or bring it back to Hamburg if possible.

The genial Doctor has a fine collection of native spears and weapons on board. The collection fills up.a whole cabin, The weapons are all made of wood, with the exception of the spears of New Britain, which are tipped with hard stone. On the upper deck there is quita amenagerie. There are numerous rare and previously unknown birds. The collection in cludes a small emu, a wild pig, and parrots galore.

ot propose to take needless risks for the future. it wants to effect a seulement which will stay settled. The question is not how quickly our control of Cubs can be withdrawn, but how satisfactory and substantial a native control can be put in its place. And no settlement can be lasting and no native control can be satisfactory, unless established upon the sure foundation of those principles for which this country inter- reped in Cuba three years ago. The Memorial Day which we have just been celebrating should have brought to every heart a renewal of the resolve that these dead''

the dead of the Spanish war as well as of the Civil War-shall not have died in vain! And the only way in which that high resolve can be fulfiled and the duty of this country in respect to Cuba can be discharged is in inflexibly insisting upon a satisfactory com- pletion of the task for which the President on April 11, 1898, asked congressal authority, and for the performance of which task this country' accepted a few days later the dreadful gage of war with Bpain. That task is to secure in the island the cktablishment of a stable govern- ment capable of maintaining order and observ ing its international obligations, insuring peace and tranquillity and the security of its citizens as well as our own. That is the task for which we went into Cuba, and it is to be performed according to our own standards and to our own satisfaction,

The following is the text of the Platt amend mentre Cuba:

That in fulfilment of the declaration con- tained in the joint resolution approved April 20th, 1898, entitled "For the Recognition of the Independence of the People of Cuba," demanding that the Government of Spain relin- quich its authority and government in the island of Cuba, and withdraw its land and directing the President of the United States to naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and use the land, and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect, the TIMBER IN THE PHILIPPINES.

The Island of Mindanao, -with-en-area of some. 20,000,000 acres, has in any ordinance appended thereto, shall immense tracts of almost unbroken forest, The define the future relations of the United States same is true with regard to the islands of with Cuba, substeptially as follows Mindoro and Palawan, and even in Luron, the most densely populated island of the group, where most timber has been cut, there still exlet millions of acres of virgin forest. The forests will prove to be among the greatest resources of these beautiful and fertile islands, and if ofthest bottle fit fudicious ly managed by the Goverment, sufficient can be cut, without destroying the forests, to pro- vide funds for many much needed public improvements, and to recompense the United States for the great military and other exp ditures. Much of this can be dose with absolute advantage to the forests, as millions of cubic feet of timber, should be cut in order thin the dense growth so that the maximun annual growth of the trees can be obtained.

One peculiarity about these forests is that there are no great areas covered by any one species of tice, so that to accumulate a cargo of one kind of timber it must be assembled from different local ties. There are many 'rea sons why large capital will be required to carry on a successful timber trade in these islands, but with sufficient means there is no com mercial venture that will yield more remunera sive profit.
