Berenguer to Negotiate for Their Surrender. MADRID, August 17.—Gen. Beren- guer, Spanish high commissioner for Morocco, will go to Tetuan, in the western part of that country, to ne- gotiate for the surrender of the prin- cipal chiefs in that district, says El Diario Universal. It is indicated that &, punitive expedition against ‘the re- bellious tribesmen will not begin until mext month. The new Spanish government, which came into office as a result of the military situation near Melilla, where Spanish troops were severely defeat- <@ three weeks ago, has been well re- celved in Spain. The stock exchange has reflected confidence on the part of the people and state bonds have risen almost a whole point since the minis- try was established. In discussing the situation in north- western Africa Premier Maura's news- paper, La Accion, says: “We do not wish to conquer Morocco, as such a task would cost us as many sacrifices and sufferings as did our American colonies. We merely intend to prose- cute a civilizing mission without hesi- tation and without impatience. We will stay peacefully on the coast of Morocco, leaving the native authori- ties to establish themselves in the.in-| terior.” —_— MEXICAN OIL INDUSTRY IS FACING PARALYSIS Low Market Blamed as Primary Cause, “Although Taxes Have Been No Aid.” By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, Agust 17.—The Mexi- can petroleum industry ia threatened complete paralysis, which prob- 2bly will reach a crisis i the month of September, according to the morning newspapers, which quote local oil com- :pany representatives and Mexican offl- clals as authority for the statement. It is explalned that the low market price of oil is in the main responsible for the situation. although the taxes imposed by the Mexican government, to which protests have been made. “have been of no ald.” Secretary of Com- merce Zubaran told newspaper cor- respondents that the companies were not shutting down because of a spirit| ‘of hostility toward the government, but for commercial reasons only. The American operators were the first to shut down, their activities; ceasing six weeks ago. shortly after: President Obregon's export tax decree i became effective. The explanation ! made at that time was that the falling | market, coupled with the new Mexican tax, made exportation of oil at a profit impossible. The English and’ Dutch compantes, however, continued opera- tions, and it ‘was asserted were in- creasing.- their activities rather than diminishing them. . Several days ago officials of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and the Shell Transport and . Trading Company arrived in Tampico on a tour of investigation and soon afterward orders were issued for a “temporary suspension” _of work, These officials now are in Mexico City ‘and it is understood they will confer mith President Obregon in the near future.

HONOLULU, T. H, August 17.— Thrills of flying were enjoyed by Hawaiians centuries before avia- tion was invented, according to stories told by natives of today. Their ancestors got their aerial ex- citement by jumping off cliffs into the ocean in homemade “planes. ‘They made a regullr game of it, known as “lele pali,” or “l\ll!vln‘ from the clift” It was played up to a hundred years or-so ago by natives: who lived near groves of loulu pakms near high cliffs over- looking the ocean. Details of the game have been obtained by William J. Coelho, a - former newspaper editor, now an officer of the-hale o na alii Hawaii (house of chiefs.) This is what he - says of the-vanished sport: The game was played with huge contrivances built of ‘llght but stout sticks and overwoven with loulu palm leaves. Several of these affairs were made ready, the Ha- wailan “aviators” took their seats, TO SEA CENTRIES AGO and were pushed over towering cliffs at the same time. The ad- venturer who remained longest in the air was the wi Often through carelessness or ex- citement a “plane” would execute a nose dive similar to those of twentieth century airplanes. The only damage was the loss of the game. 0ld Hawallans say that their fly- ing men were exceptionally skill- ful. The only means they had of guiding their crude appliances was to shift their weight to maintain balance, as they zjgzagged down toward the sea.
