WHAT THE ALGAROBA TREE HAS DONE Remnant of the Trials of Conspiring Malcontents. RUMORS FALSE CURRENT Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HONOLULU, October 17, 1895. It being now more than a fortnight since the last straggling case of cholera appear- ed, we seem justified in counting the city clean. It is indeed a month since all but three scattering cases existed. We can claim Honolulu no longer to be an infected port, and can reasonably expect that none of our regular steamers will in the future give us the go by, refusing to carry our mails, as has six times been done, for fear of being quarantined upon arrival at San Francisco or Sydney. On the last occasion the China, from Yokohama, on October 7 notified us that no mail would be taken, but that he wished to land 550 Chinese la- borers, and 200 tons of freight, all from more or less infected Chinese ports. The board of health ade such landing con- ditional upon his carrying our mails. The captain succumbed. That was five days after our latest case of cholefa, and nine- teen days after the epidemic had ended. The celestials have since undergone a short quarantine, and have mostly been shipped off to the plantations expecting them. The Chinese immigrants are gener- ally peaceable, but on this occasion kept up a violent disturbance for several days, quarreling with the Chinese agents in charge of them, so that the superintendent of the quarantine was compelled to tele- phone fur a force of police, who speedily quieted them by their mere presence. This quarantine ground is a sand spit of some thirty acres, half a mile west of the harbor channel, and the same distance from tha shore. It is surrounded by reef and shoal water, the breakers raging half a mile seaward. The islet contains long ranges of buildings. There is quite an area of lawn—Bermuda grass, or “man- ienie"—with many algaroba and iron wood trees, all which greenery is due to a supply cf fresh water from the government pipes. These two kinds of trees, in fact, need lit- tle mosture, and will flourish in pure shell sand, and close to ihe sea. Our now beau- tiful Kapiolani Park near Diamond Head was reclaimed from a white barren sard desert, by the use of these two trees, of which a harming forest now covers much of the thousand acres of ground. A Useful Tree. The algaroba tree has proved a great boon to these islands. It grows almost anywhere below 500 feet altitude. It nee next to no moisture, sending down inde nite lengths of fibrous rcots. Vast tracts of formerly treeless lava rocks along the dry leeward shores on sll the islands are now beginning to be covered with a must umbrageous shade of these hardy trees, whose perpetually brilliant green forms a strange contrast to the brown, verdure- less aridity around them. Firewood, which twenty yeors ago could be obtained only far up in the mountains, or from remote out districts, is row becoming abundant and cheap, from extensive forests of al- garoba growing up on either side of the city, as well as within its limits. It yields no timber, being crooked and brittle. The algaroba also aids in pasturage. It yields in great abundstce a small white pod filled with a coarse, dry, sweetish pulp, of vhich korses and cattle are ex- ceedingly fond, and which 1s nourishing and fattening. The rich Bermuda grass flourishes under this tree, as it rarely does: under any other. The foliage is that of the acacia, a finely subdivided pinnate leaf, which disappears between grass leaves, instead of burying them. Twenty miles out on the Oahu railway, beyond and below Ewa Mill, is a tract of some 10,000 acres of rugged ccral plain, where was formerly little vegetation. Now a thousand cattle fatten there upcn the algaroba pods and the maniente, which flourishes at the base of the trees. The owner of the land, old Jim Campbell, did a wise thing fifteen years ago when he planted young alga- robas, one or two hundred to the square mile, throughout the tract. Their seed is rapidly scattered by the animals, which eat the pods. The railway already earns considerable from the freight of the fire- wood to the city. There is some Scriptural romance about the name of this tree, which links itseli with the story of the Predigal Son. It is a false _kharob from South America, which derived its name “al-kharob” from the true carob tree of the Levant, which yields large pods so sweet as to to be an article of commerce, from which much treacle is manufactured in Englard. These true Kharob pods are identical with the “husks which the swine did eat,” with which thc prodigal would “fain have filled his belly.” Our false kharob or algaroba yields a pod having too much acrid coarse- ness for human diet, except in extreme starvation. One often sees bags of these pods at horse stalls, gathered from the numberless trees throughout the city. Two- thirds of the verdure visivle on the shore from ships approaching the harbor is that of the algarobas. An Urban Panorama. The residence districts of the city are very much hidden from the sea by the exuberance of the foliage. You come round Diamond Head in the steamer, and open the city five miles away, with its beautiful suburb of Waikiki (Wye-kee-kee) lying along a near beach beyond the head, with its splendid groves of lofty coco palms. Drawing near the harbor, there appears a central unattractive mass of business edi- fices, mostly brick, covering, say, a hun- dred acres. The rest of the town, stretch- ing two miles each way, is buried in fol- iage, with glimpses of mansions and cot- tages nere and there between. Just behind the center of the town rise the rugged but- tresses of the dark brown Punch Bowl crater, up whose lower flanks climb some hundreds of neat white cottages, inhabited by Portuguese laborers, and adorned with little gardens of grape vines and fig trees an the steep hillsides. These are less than a mile from the wharves. Behind them tower the green buttresses of the crater. You can drive up a winding road behind the hili, coming out on a summit exactly 500 feet above the sea, from which is a splendid panoramic view of Honolult, seen beneath you as from an Eiffel tower built by nature in the heart of the city. ‘The algarobas and the lantana thickets are slowly climbing the sides of Punch Bowl, and threaten to clothe their stalwart nakedness with foliage like ivy on an old castle wall. One hardly knows whether the grand buttresses are not best as they now are, unadorned. On the summit is a cup- like area of over a hundred acres, with the heights of the crater rim towering around, hiding you from the outer world in a close solitude, though in the heart of the tty. This is a park set apart by nature, where human dwellings will not intrude, though some day human art will greatly beautify It. Viewing the city again from the sea, there stand, though much among trees, yet’ some- what conspicuous, at each end of the town, a mile and a half from the wharves, the two leading educational institutions of Hono- lulu. At the east is the Oahu College, the highest grade of school in the country. At the west are the buildings of the two Kame- hameha Training School for natives of each sex. Both are somewhat inland, on slightly elevated ground, a mile from the sea. Thus nobly is Honolulu flanked on either hand by towers that tell of high and thorough edu- cation for its youth. The Kamehameha schools are of recent erection, and include some noble cut-stone buildings. The cost of buildings with the endowments aggregate nearly $100,000, all due to the wise munifi- cence of the deceased Princess Pauahi Bish- op, and of her husband, Charles R. Bishop. The Leading School. Oahu College 1s an older institution, whose beginnings date back to 1841, and which re- ceived a college charter in 1859. It got so far as to take two classes of missionaries’ sons through the sophomore year. Although these young men made their mark, Gen. S. C. Armstrong being one, it was found imprac- ticable to hold the few college students back from American college life, and the institu- tion has since been Amerely an excellent academy or high scheol, whose pupils often take honors at eastef Gblleges. It now has several fine buildinggand a very respectable endowment. To the: enflowment Mr. C. R. Bishop has made most munificent contribu- tions. There is alsojmowW nearly completed a really splendid building, containing a noble assembly room, with nearly a lozen class rooms. This is called “Pauahi Hail,” in memory of the décéised princess. It is of cut stone, a very beautiful, compact blue lava. A $5,000 orga has been added, con- tributed by the estage of the late Ss ON. Castle. Mr. Bishop was ory years the chief banker of Honolulu." Feeling something of the infirmity of ag@e has retired from business and resides in San Francisco. He recently sold out his entfre banking interest and capital for $00,000 to Samuel M. Damon,. his old pattner and Hawaiian minister of finance. . The whole of this large sum Mr. Bishop has placed in the hands of a board of trustees, who are ‘he same persons as the trustees of the Kamehameha schools. This board is to ad- minister this fund according to certain in- structions, applying the income to various specified objects, but in some details, at their discretion. The Hawaiian board of missions is a large beneficiary, Oahu Col- lege another, and several training schools tor girls are largely aided. The particulars of these gifts are only known to the tru: tees at present, Mr. Bishop seeking to avoid publicity. He has no children, but seems to have adopted the people of Hawaii as his heirs, and especially the native race. He wisely administers his own bequests during his lifetime. One may esteem him one of the most happy among rich men, and as not likely to be impeded by uncon- secrated lucre from passing through “the needle’s eye.” Hawali’s Museum. One of Mr. Bishop’s most admirable and munificent gifts is the splendid “Pauahi Bishop Museum,” which stands prominent on the Kamehameha school grounds, west of the city. Tae building is elegant and commodious, of ashlar rock, blue vesicular lava. Ivy half covers the walls. It is de- voted to Hawaiian and Polynesian an- tiquities. From its inception Mr. Bishop employed as curator probably the most competent perzon that could have been found, Professor Brigham, who 1s an ac- «cmplished naturalist. and archaeologist. There is already a very large and costly collection of Polynesian idols, implements, fabrics and work of barbarian art, also of shelis, b.rds and fishes. Mr. Bishop recently purchased from the American board at Boston their precious but ill-cared for col- lection contributed by the early mission- aries here, containing much that could not be duplicated or replaced. Large additions were secured two years ago by Mr. Brig- ham in New Zealand and Australia. Astronomical Advantages. At ne distant future it seems highly prob- able that Hawail will become an important contributor to astronomical research. Sev- eral local conditions favor the establish- ment here of an observatory of the first class. One is an exceptional clearness of the atmosphere, even at low altitudes, and dryness of the climate,with little cloud and absence of fogs, so that observations can be carried on with little interruption. A very important condition ts the existence of a very available site for en observatory, at the height of 10,032 feet, on the summit of Mt. Haleakala, on East Maul. The sum- mit is most easy of access, a carriage road already existing one-half the height, and capable of teing graded at moderate cost the rest of the ascent. It is only eighteen miles from the importdnt seaport of Kahu- liu, and twelve from a railway terminus at Paia plantation. Although a somewhat re- cent crater, earthqub&es of any force are very rarely experienced on that island, the great volcanoes a hindred miles south ap- parently giving full, vent to any restless- ness of the earth, which there occasionally shakes things up rousingly. At this height of yearly two miles on Haleakala the air ig. Wonderfully clear and the stars burn with -diamond keenness. Through that dustless, thin, pellucid at- mosphere a twelve-inoh lens will do better work than Lick’s thirty-six-inch 6,500 feet lower down. There'$s;doubtless no moun- tain height on the gfobe in all respects so favorably conditioned. Its location within the tropics gives itu wide outlook on the heavens. Its positiom:many thousand miles apart from other possible elevated observa- tcries makes'ft an ifffpertant Blip tocbe oc. cupted. Cabte" Sonreftion, wif! no doubt soon be made With ihe rest of the world, supplying one great need of every observa- tory. ‘There are never ‘hurricanes in these islands to endanger and rarely storms of any sort to interrupt cbservation. It seems certain that witrin a generation Haleakala will be the seat of one of the chief observa- tories of the world. Col, Ashford’s Case. ‘The case of V. V. Ashford ts assuming a fresh Interest from the discovery of new eviderce on the government side. I think I have already stated that in reviewing the testimony in the various trials before our military commission last February, at which a number of British subjects were cenvicted of misprision of treason, the jur- ists employed by the British government found the evidence in the case of Col. V. V. Ashford insufficient to justify convic tion. He had been convicted and had suf- fered some imprisonment in convict stripes, when he was released or account of ill health, upen condition of leaving the coun- try. The case was taken up by this gov- ernment for review. The defect found in the testimony was the lack of sufficient outside corroborative testimony to sup- port that of Ashford’s accomplices, espe- cially the chief witness, Sam Nowlein, who had turned state's evidence. He was the leader of the insurgents in the field. Ash- ford had undertaken to conduct one branch of the operations, but at a late moment alleged physical disability, and backed out, which was a highly judicious proceeding. Ashford had enjoyed some military experi- ence in the civil war, and later in the Red river campaign. He had played fast and loose here, being sometimes with the re- form party and sometimes with Wilcox and Liliuokalani. When Col. Blount was here he had his reasons for being down on the ex-queen, and gave her the vilest pos- sible character in a widely published docu- ment, which was incorporated in Blount’s report. Her resentment at his horribly gross treatment, however, yielded to her desire to purchase his aid as a military man, and she signed a commission last De- cember, just before the insurrection, ap- pointing V. V. Ashford associate justice. All this was proved on the trial, but was thrown out by the military commission be- cause it was not proved that Ashford knew of his appointment, althcugh no one could doubt of the bargain, No one, indeed, doubted that Nowlein was telling the truth, and constant interviews between them up to the last moment were proved by outside evidence. Ashford al- leged other business ,causes for those in- terviews, but they were not such as would be likely to occupy Nowlein’s activity with a deadly insurrection on his hands. One such interview was proved to have taken place on the Waikiki road after Ashford had been driven up and down in a hack for an hour waiting for Nowiein. Clear and Cirgnmstantial. Yet perhaps, technifally, the evidence of the alleged accomplige;,needed farther sup- port. That supporting ‘testimony has now been obtained by the Zovernment. It is that cf a person who Is of reliable character as to truth and honesty, aluWough holding irregu- lar relations to Ashford. The testimony to his complicity from ‘{his source is as clear and circumstantial as possible. Farther particulars cannot how be given; but the government feels tha¥ Mr. Ashford’s case is unlikely to make them any farther troubl It may be hoped soon to give The Evening Star the testimony im the prominent case of Cranstoun and Muelle, who were deported to Vancouve> last Epupiary on the steamer Warrimoo, and who'cliinr $50,000 aplece of the steamer for da: s. Testimony is to be taken here before’s commissioner. To- morrow is the day set. The government fs confident of proving the complicity of both the men in the insutrection. Interesting facts are likely to be developed. Now that all except a small number of the leaders of the January insurrection have been set at Hberty, considerable call is being raised for the release of the latter. The Ha- waiian Star was in January thirsty for the blood of these leaders. Its humane and gen- erous instincts are now active, and it de- mands their release, alleging that they are all penitent and humble, and incapable of any farther misdoing. It is not apparent that there has been any exhibition of peni- tence or humility on the part of any one of the late insurgents, or that, if they dared, they would not again take up arms in the same cause. It is a not uncommon -umor among the many filibuster rumors, doubtless false, of these days that there are a thou- sand men on this island ready to seize their guns and join the filibusters when they land. Of course, there is nothing in this, except as it indicates the smoldering of a hostile disposition, which it may not be safe to free from repression. It js hardly probable that Gulick, Walker, Seward and their associates will go free next Thanksgiving day, as some urge should be done. As to filibusters, that sort of yarn is worn nearly threadbare. KAMEHAMEHA. ee STORIES ABOUT FISHES. Observations of a Veteran Angler Whose Home is on the Indian River. Frem the Florida Citizen. “Yes, I observed many curious things abcut fish when I was on the Indian river,” remarked Col. Wardwell a few days ago. “Fish, as a rule, are very shy, and yet they frequently become so tame that they can almost be picked out of the water, and they seem to know people, just as a cat or a dog does. Some of the sea ‘cats’ hecaine so tame around my place that they would actually eat out of my hand. I had beard ruaning from the nouse out over the water, and I used frequently to go out on this beard to clean fish, throwing the clean- irgs into the water. These ‘cats’ would swim up as fearlessly as could be, and on severa: occasions they pulled the fish that I was cleaning out of my hand. The fish evidently knew me, however, because when a stranger went out on the board they would not come near him, but would swim around at a distance, as though they were afraid. “The eel is ordinarily a very shy creature, and I do not rerember ever having seen mcre than two or three in Indian river. 1 had an oyster bed forty or fifty yards from my house, and I went out there one day for the purpose of getiing a basket of oysters. To my surprise, an eel came swimming up to me, and all the time that I was getting the oysters it swam around my legs and rubbed against them much as a kitten would. I waded back to my house, and the eel fcllowed me. I found that I aid rot have encugh oysters, and so I went back again. The eel was still there, a! followed me across and back again. Now, I had never seen the eel before, and never saw it again after that day, and the enly way that I can account for its peculiar actions is that it was the companion of either a large fish, turtle or perhaps a manatee, and that it had become separated from it, and, seeing me in the wuter, thought I was the object for which it was searching. “I have often had much amusement watching the antics of the needle fish. This fish, when at play, will jump over sticks, straws or other small objects in the water, and I have frequently had them jump over the float of my fishing line. They cid this apparently just to amuse themselv2: ————— SHERMAN AS FARMER. The Famous Soldier's Log Cabin is Still Standing. Frow the New York Advertiser. There is a queer old tumble-down cabin on the banks of Indian creek, near to the city of Tcpeka, Kan., which has a historical inter- est of more than ordinary importance. It is a frame structure of two rooms. At present it is in a somewhat dilapidated condition, but at one time it was what might have been called a comfortable home. It is twenty- three feet in length by twelve in width, and a partition in the center divides it into two apartments. The timbers were laid in po- sition, the walls plastered and the roof fas- tened on by the hand of a man who was at once a scholar and a great general—a hero of the late war. It was no other than Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman. He built and lived in this cabin in 1859. In 1858 he was engaged in the practice of law in Leaven- worth, Kan. Like many young lawyers, he found’ that his rece:pts were not large enough to meet his expenses, and so he de- cided to turn farmer for a t:me and try and make some extra money. To that end he purchased some land in the northeastern part of Shawnee county, six miles north of Topeka, Kan. It is said that Gen. Sherman made a very good farmer. He was a hard worker, and ai- though he was peculiar, he had ‘lots of friends among the settlers of the country. In the spring of 1860 he built another house, which was much larger and more modern than the old cabin. He erected it on a neigh- boring knoll, about a quarter of a mile from his first house. It is yet in a good state of preservation, but has never been painted. It contains seven rooms, the wails are cov- ered with weather boarding and the root is of shingles. Probably Gen. Sherman in- tended living in this comfortable house, but as to whether or not he did is a matter of doubt. When Gen. Sherman was called away he moved his few belongings from his cabin home and said good-bye to the. old place for- ever. It has never been occupied since. A small barn that the general erected near the cabin has been torn down. There has been some talk of tearing down the house, but when it was attempted there. was such a vigorous objection made that the project had to be abandoned. It still stands there in its dilapidation, perched well up above the sur- rounding land. It means a great deal to the old pioneers, and they love to look at it. It is a sacred landmark to them and they will never agree to have it torn down. Pancake Fiour. A combination of the great etaffs of life— WHEAT, CORN and RICE.
