There is no communication allowed with rr^reat 6 indignation is expressed against Otago officials for allowing immigrants to Pome on shore before thoroughly well. There was a great strike here to-day. The lumners on ships and men in stores struck work and demand 12s for 8 hours. Plenty of men are wanted at 12s for 10 hours'work.

The following is from one of the saloon passengers by the Phcebe: "The s.s. Phoebe arrived here yesterday at three with a large number of passengers on board, all well. On steaming up to the wharf she was suddenly ordered off, and placed in quarantine by the Health Officer, in consequence of a child on board having had the measles a considerable time back, and now quite recovered, having been released from quarantine by the Dunedin authorities. There is great indignation by the passengers. A letter has been signed by all the saloon ssengers an( j sen t to the ■ Lyttelton Times, TOotesting against the conduct of the Health Officer here. Dr. Alexander, of Dunedin, was a passenger with us. When examined he said there was not the slightest necessity to place ns in quarantine. _ One gentleman passenger has instructed his solicitor to pro ceed against the General Government to recover damages for illegal detention. The detention is a serious loss to the ship. The whole thing is an admitted farce.

DEVONPORT WHARF.

To the Editor of the Evening} Star. Sffi >—Is it true that some of the members of the Harbour Board are determined to take advantage of the late gale and refuse to re-bnildorto assist to re-build the Devon port Wharf. Seeing that the Harbour Board took the wharf over, (and at a very small cost to themselves), and were realising nearly i2O per annum, it does seem as if an advan tage was being taken of an unavoidable misfortune to injure the district. It is re ported that some of the directors of the every company are not particularly desirous 01 having this wharf rebuilt. Perhaps they rear the question of liability, seeing that it is Possible they ought'to contribute|very liberally jor repairs under the circumstances of its ■King destroyed in the manner it was. We want a little light on this matter.—Yours, *?•' Nemo.—[We cannot at present statt accurately the position of the question re ared to. We shall enquire and return to «to-morrow.—Ed. E S ]

A SUNDAY IN CENTRAL AMERICA.

k"^?Js_S£fe eP° happened to 6^% reminrlS v° f which we were con lßicS dei^tbeincessaQt mowing Si7 hlCh were tillered in the ?J the church"^ rfs grown plaza in front Tn_h7 a\ to be the sceoe of ? their ioJ°r rds the afternoon priests l^ geutWn - g ™nts, and sporting \vtox trousers and L nd es 7ft bere *? back- their favorites X?? etl to haveL!F° rts-. The excitement S> and C 6S^m^ated; itself to the 8 A3ir °*5 S ,ped,their wi°gs defiantly A #°ckpit w " a c^ s? e4 and admired them of 5 a a n ? rinu tive arrangement-a IfeS^aCtW raQged round a 0 M square I was one of the ra 0 .t fashionable and

celebiated of the sporting characters iv Uiep.>, a handsome young gentleman of ooiou , m spotless white, but without shoes and s-ockings or coat, who informed me that his e.iok was to be engaged in the first match, and he secured me a good place in the rug, which was soon crowded with anxious faces. Then two men ad vanced into the centre of the ring with the cocks, and after re-sharpenin^ the points of their long spurs, and whetting them with lemon-juice, they set them two or three times at one another to get their blood up, then let them go, and the fight fairly began. I never saw anything equal to the excitement of the spectators during the con test, which was bloody and disgusting as such exhibitions must ever be. Unable to retain their seats, they danced about, swear ing and cheering with frantic gratulations Jivery time one of the unfortunate birds tried to escape from his opponemt he was seized by his backer, who having previously filled his mouth with sugar cane juice, plunged the Jiead of the cock, streaming with blood, into it, and so succeeded m washing his wounds and refreshing him for a renewal of the conflict. Then disputes arose as to which was winning ; and the betting became last and furious, and the wretched cocks more inveterate, as they almost cut each other s heads off. Twice they were both so exhausted as to be unable to raise them selves to their legs; but their merciless backers pressed them unrelently to the con test until at last the one which to my ex perienced eyes, [had promised to be the victor, was stretched gasping and bleeding on the ground, and his opponent getting on his prostrate body, manage to effect a feeble crow, and then tumbled head-overheels in an effort to give his wings a feeble flap. He was the property of my friend who had worked himself up to a pitch of frenzied delight, and who now bore off, amid the cheers of those who had won •money by him, the mangled conqueror. The young man dined with us the same evening, and was still so overcome with the effects of his excitement that he would touch nothing, as he naively remarked that he never could eat anything the day a cock of his was to fight. Not caring to witness a re petition of so disagreeable a spectacle my friend and I strolled through the village, and seeing a group of its female in habitants collected on a grassy knoll, we joined them, and entered in con versation ~ without any more formal introduction, after the custom of the country. One of the amenities of travel in these parts is absence of ceremony in social intercourse. We wauder through the quiet little village streets, and look in at the open doors, at a snug family circle swinging in hammocks, and without more acho we walk in, and are soon swinging as well,-1 exchanging cigarettes, mingling our fragrant clouds with theirs, as if our intimacy had been for years' standing. The black eyes of the signoritas are at first modestly cast down, but they soon dance with merriment and the bad Spanish of the eslrangoros Ingle.
