Wreck of the Steamship Mawhera

United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph Auckland, June 16 The Mawhera, when wrecked, was en gaged in her usual cruise, picking up cargo for Tahiti. Late at night she ran on a reef at ApatiM. The accident is attributed to the currents between the islands, which, it is Btated, are of a most unreliable character. The i&lands and reefs are said to be wrongly located in the existing charts, there having been nothing like a proper survey for many years. Captain Winchester, who has had many years experience in the Society Group, and is at present on a visit to Auckland, told a reporter that the island whera the steamer met with the disaster is between six.and seven miles out on the [chart. Nothing further will be known regarding the wreck , until the return of the Taviuni next month, when probably the officers and crew of the Mawhera will come by her. Captain John Dawson, who was in command of the Mawhera, has had a good many yeaw experience in the island trade.

Church and Politics

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright Auckland June 16 At the Northcote Wesleyan Church on Sunday, the Eev. Eishworth referred to the granting of a license at Maungaturoto, and made an attack upon the Chairman of the Licensing Committee. He read a resolu tion on the subject, and called upon all in favour of it to stand up. Mr Joshua Jack son, one of ' the congregation, said he resented the remarks Mr Eishworth had made. He knew the members of the "Wai temata Licensing Committee, and had never known them to act unfairly. If there had been any injustice done he was in favour of it being enquired into and put right, but he objected to a preacher using such language as Mr Kiahworth had used against the magistrate, Moreover, he came to church to hear the Gospel preached, and not to hear outside subjects dragged into the service. Mr Eishword said he had only submitted the case as one for enquiry, and the subject was allowed to drop.

Anglo-Japanese Alliance.

United Press Association—By Eleotrie Telegraph. Auckland, June 16 The captain and officers of the Japanese warship were entertained at the Northern Club on Saturday night. Captain Izichi, in a speech, said he did not think it w&Ban accident which had brought Britain and Japan into an alliance in the East. If war should break out, the British and the Japanese would fight side by side. Eng land is mistress of the seaaj Japan, he hoped, would be mistress of the Eastern seas in the war of the future, because the ruling factor in both empires should be sea power. Although the present Navy was able to do good work in the East for tha time being, Japan must have more ships. At least she must keep up with any country whose interest in the East may conflict with those of Japan.

He says:—"Treated by two local doctors, at end of six months the doctors decided to put me tinder chloroform for examinntion and operation. Placed on milk diet for three days previous, and wasted to a Bhadow. After examination it was decided fco send me to the Wellington Hospital for operation. A hard lump or ridge had been growing for some time at the upper part of fche abdomen, and blood and pieces of flesh resembling' the lung of a sheep was passing from me daily. I was in the Wellington Hospital two months. Was operated on, md under examination the doctors told Mrs Mexted that the trouble was cancer in the sowels, and was practically incurable. Was ;aken from the hospital in that condition, seing taken to my home on the ambulance stretcher, and in such a weak state they did lot think I would reach home alive. Was sarried to my bed, and for weeks lay be tween life and death. Tha local doctors vere in regular attendance, and concurred nth those of the hospital as fco the nature >f my complaint, and stated they could do tothing for me. As time went on the loctors ceased calling, telling my wife that aj case was hopeless and they could do no aore. I was worn away to a skeleton, and laily passing the matter above referred to. Ky wife then tried various remedies and latent medicines, but there waa not the lightest improvement, until, on the advice f friends, I started taking PLANTEIfOA, nd it was not for some time that even this eemed to make any impression, and I was Imost giving it up in despair. However, rhile using the fifth bottle, the discharge radually ceased, and I began to feel fcronger, the hard swelling had almost isappeared, and I was able to get up and bout for a little. To the joy of my family nd friends the improvement continued, ntil at the present time I FEEL SPLEN >ID. Have been away during Easter |to >anevirke and Palmerston North for a trip, nd have NOW EBSUMBD WORK. I onsider that PLANTEKOA has COM •LETELJ CUBED ME.
