The officers neglect the men shamefully.” Mr. Alvord was asked concerning the re- ports that many of the Spanish officials, both in the army ard out, are feathering their nests most comfortably during the wa hose stories are current all over the island. You aear them everywhere, and they are generally believed. I have heard them from some of the most reputable men in Havana.

There are a great many such people—enough, I am persuaded, to turn the scales in favor of the insurgents if they wouid only go to the front. Some ex- cuse themselves on the score that no fit fighting eq others ment is to be obtained, and y The Spaniards who nd as a rule they ere far more thrifty end are in better circum- ances than ihe native Cubans—hesiiate because of not being able to forecast just what inde lence would mean. They are rty, and have been oppres: by Spanish rule. They would like to throw off the allegiance to Spain. if they could feel that a break from Spain would mean annexation to the United States they would become active at once. That, to them, ment as a certainty. But they are afraid of such a government as they fear the Cubans now in the field would set up if successful. And so these men, anxious enough to see Spanish rule afraid to and remain suld mean good govern- id, are yet independent Cuban rule begin, cooped up in the cities and towns while the Cubans, with far SS property interests at stake, are doing the fighting. Was Dr. Ruiz murdered?” “1 think so, It was the case of a helpless prisoner and a brutal jailer. Gen. Lee thinks the killing was murder. The difli- culty will be in getting witnesses to testify. Spanish influences surround the scene, and witnesses will hardly dare to testify against a Spanish official and remain at home after the trial is ended. But if the truth can be brought out it will show murder.” Asked as to the facilities Mr. Calhoun will enjoy while in Cuba for informing himself about the sttuation in general, Mr. Alvord sal. “I am not advised as to his plans or the scope of his mission, but even a short stay, weil improved, ought to be very profitable to him. There are good men in every prov- ince from whom he may gather much re- ple and valuable information, and they wiil even come to Havana to see him if re- quested to do so. He will find the Ameri- e very cordially hated in Spanish circles. Even Mr. Hale 1s classed with the ‘hogs.’ _I have seen his picture posted up, with the designation, ‘a hog,’ printed un- derneath. It was an evidence of base in- gratitude, but there the picture was, along- side with the pictures of Mr. Sherman and others, all designated as ‘American hogs.’ —_—__-e-—___ Life in the Polar Se: From the Journal des Debats. It is evident, according to Nansen, that the waters of the polar seas are far from being deserted by living creatures. Wher- ever the sea is open, or partially so, seals, narwhals and birds abound, and on the heaps of ice near the edge of the water the bears are numerous. Under the ice marine animals are not wanting. The ex- plorers found in abundance little crusta- ceans, whose discovery was the result of an accident. One day the cook sunk a piece of meat in a hole which he had cut in the ice, with a view of thawing it out. That is a method often resorted to for the purpose of spar- ing the fuel.

Here is somo interesting information for the man who drinks only his favorite brand of wine, whisky or cordial. It is almost a pity to give away these trade secrets, but tkey are public now in sworn testimony. After reading this the bibber will no longer smack his lips, look wise and give expres- sion to a deep, satisfied “‘A-h-h-h” after a glass of his favorite tipple. W. A. Taylor, wine merchant and expert, today swore that certain foreign firms on labels of some wines have no existence in fact. Fine cog- nac, he sald, could be made from roasted almond shells and essential oils. This drink, he said, would fool the average drinker. In bottling wine for retailers or private stock, the sellers put the names of the buyers and other marks on the “imported” casks or bottles. In clarets, for instance, some of the bottles may be labeled “‘Medoc” and some “St. Julian.” In illustrating he said: “A party of gentlemen may go into a cafe and one man says: ‘I guess I'll take a St. Julian,’ and another says, ‘I don’t care for that; I'll take Medoc.’ Well, in most cases these gentlemen are fooled, and both wines generally come from the same cask.” Con- tinuing, Mr. Taylor cited a case in point, where an Italian dealer ad sold a case of Italian vermouth for $2.60. He said the duty on this was: $1.60, and the freight 14 cents, so the dealer sold the “imported stuf” for just 86 ¢ents for a dozen bottles. “Bordeaux” thh-same dealer sold for $1.65 a case of twélyerbottles, where the duty and freight alone: would have cost $1.82. Now one weuld imagine that all this stuff sold und@er Pogus labels and fraudu- lent all the Wway.tftough goes simply to the lower class of Bowery saloons and Tender- Icin cafes. That is where the mistake is made, as the next question brought out. The witness in his testimony admitted that the largest hotel§ here, of the “highest class,” bought wines and cordials from him in bulk. He bottled and labeled the bottles “St. Julian” and t*Medoc” and ‘“Margau.” It all, he ra game from the same cask and fooled ev athe delicate palates of the hotel “habitues/ it the smaller dealers of the great prevalence of smallpox in Japan. The only way of accounting for the fact that six passengers were infected when eight or nine days at sea, seems to be that clothing of the crew held the in- fection. All clothing of passengers had been thoroughly disinfected. It was a serious Inconvenience for Min- ister Cooper to be lafd aside, he being act- ing attorney general in the absence of Min- ister W. O. Smith. Mr. Smith, however, arrived from Washington on the 17th, and at once found his hands full. Cooper has still five days more of isolation. AH feel that Honolulu has been extremely fortu- in not having had the pestilence let e in the city. It becomes increasingly evident that, with all their great progres in the modern arts of ctvilization, the Jap- anesp are still quite backward in that degree of vigilance and thoroughness in sanitary matters which makes it safe to Thus the old-time voices commingle with the screech of modern steamers. There was a double grand occasion at Lahaiua, a great Sunday school convention and the dedication of a beautiful new church, presented to his father’s old parish by Henry P. Baldwin, at a ecst to himself of about $12,000. The excellent pastor of this church, Rev. A. Pali, had become ob- noxious to a majority of hts people on ac- ccunt of politics. He had favored the abo- lition of monarchy, having become, like a majority of his colleagues in the pastorate, exceedingly disgusted with the increasingly heathenish tendencies of the court. The dissensiors arising from Palli’s attitude had lel to the burning of the fine oid stone church by partisans of the royalist side, and the people were too weakened and di- vided to rebuild. So Henry came to their aid. The old church was the first stone public edifice in the islands, built in ISz depend upon them, or to remit the utmost ! by Governor Hoapili. vigilance of precaution against the diffu- sion of pestilence by their numerous steam- ers. Our government has constantly to be on the alert against the arrival here from Japanese ports of cholera, smallpox and bubonic plague. From no other ports ex- cept those of China, which are more tant, are we at all thus endangered. Ja proves a perilous center of conta are compelled to maintain a strong staff of able white doctors in her chief ports, to examine and disinfect intendi to Hawaii. Gur precautions are cons liable to invite the wrathful rep: strong Japan upon our defenseless repubitc. This commercial center of the Pacitic and meeting place of traffic certainly should be in strong hands, able to enforce due sanitary protection of commerce without fear. Nothing can be more absurd than to talk of such a diminutive state remaining independent, and yet able to fulfill the con- stantiy increasing heavy duties and re- sponsibilities devolving on its central and important position. If Hawai! was off one side, she might well enough remain inde- pendent. Here in the meeting point of the vast Pacific commerce, sie is compelled as speedily as may be to cast herself into the protecting arms of some one of the great powers. Japs Going Back. The Kinai Maru sailed for Japan on the 18th, carrying 543 of the 676 people she brought here. Two hundred and twenty- nine other Japanese tock passage with them, taking the chances of smallpox breaking out during the voyage, as It probably will among those exposed to it while in quarantine. Of course, all have been carefully vaccinated, which will at least reduce the malady to a varioloid type and avert danger to life. The ship has hardly any one or board whose English is fairly intelligible. Officers, as well as crew, are all Japanese. Ship and people were in an extremely dirty condition when they arrived. All the latter have been well bathed and fumigated, and start fairly clean from Honolulu, but will probably bear washing again when they land in Japan. I have just returned from a five days’ absence on a visit to the seaport of Lahai- na, which forty or fifty years ago was a great resort of whale ships. As many as eighty ships have been seen anchored at once in the roadstead. Thirty-five years ago kerosene had run whale oil out of the market, and that harbor became deserted. The fertile, irrigated land, which used to yield sweet potatoes, squashes, melons, etc., for the shipping, became gradually converted into the sugar plantation it now is. Two-thirds of the natives have died out and their homestcads are obliterated. We had smooth and delightful passages of seventy-fve miles cach way on steamers of 750 and 650 tons. Very good tables were set, only the eating hours were apt to come in_the rougher parts of the channels, to the discomfiture of sea-sick pecple. We ccasted nobly along the mighty mountain masses of Molokai and West Maui, “Where the peaks shoulder The clouds like a yoke.” It had been an exceptionally dry winter, and, instead of the usual general verdure of April, the slopes were arid and brown, nearly to where the clouds hung. Molokai looked especially bare to the very peaks, 4,000 feet high. A beautiful spotted deer has multiplied there into thousands. They have eaten off everything green to the Well Civilized Hawalians. About five hundred had assembled of young natives from ail parts of Maui and Molokai, to hold convention at the new church on Menday. They were remarkably well dresse¢, even for white people. Their sirging was delightful. The progress of | the people in accurate singing has been wonderful, amounting to a complete revo- lution in the past twenty years, doubt attributable to the teachers trained n the large boarding schools and to the numer- ous white teachers in the commo Many of the songs were in English, y distinctly pronounced. The impression of all the exercises was of very great pro- ; 8Tess among the natives of late years, in- spiring far more hope for their fulure than ene has been apt to feel. At the close of exercises in the church ali tock lunch un- der an immense Indian banyan tree. Six hundred and seventy guests were counted H at the tables, of whom perhaps twenty were whites. The food had all been cook ed in imus, or ground ovens, in nati style, the meats done up in ti-leaves, During the past twenty years the out- put of sugar at the Lahaiua mill has risen from 1,2%) tons to 4,500, with a prospect of 6,000 tons in 1899. The increase is due to better culture and fertilizing, more than dcubling the yield of stalks per acre. Also to better milling, saving 20 per cent more sugar from the same weight of stalks. The supply of water for irrigation has also been at least doubled, enabling twice as mvch land to be cultivated, especially on the uplands, not before availzble. A good deal of water has been added to one mountain stream by a system of tun- neling a few hundred feet here and there from the bottom of the valley into the mountain, tapping the internal seepage. This has enabled several hundred acres of ary upland to be cultivated. Artesian Irrigation. A much larger supply is obtained from artesian wells on the low alluvial flats along shore. Until lately such wells had been a failure, only brackish water being obtained. It was lately discovered that the wells must only go down about 100 feet when fresh water came up in unlimit- ed quantity; 130 feet tapped salt water lower down. Now the mill company are putting in wells and steam pumps to irri- gate about 800 acres in Lahaina and in Kaauapoli, tive miles north. These will bring their crop up to 6,000 tons, not a first-class establishment, but averaging dividends of $75,000 per ennum. The success of wells and pumps at La- haiua indicates a probable use of similar means resulting in the production of sev- eral thousand tons along along the shores of Lauai and Molokai. A project for such work on Lauai is already started. It is quite evident that all available sugar lands in the Hawaiian Islands have not yet been brought into use. Late improvements in pumps are .enlarging our possibilities. With annexation we shall rapidly work in the white man, and work out the Asiatic, and our miagaiGcent cliniate will make this one of the wored homes of the white race, as it is already the prosperous fron- tier post of American civilization, where it encounters that of Asia.

There were no town records which would throw light upon the matter, and no additional facts could be learned.
