Noonan, 1017-10.23 Mission ' MILITARY TROUBLE DOWN IN HAWAI Honolulu’s National Guard Threatens to Dis- band. Excitement Over the Japanese Situation Seems to Have Subsided. A New Commissioner to Washington. Government Issue of Goid and Silver Notes. HONOLULU, Hawam, April 7.—There has been considerable friction between the volunteer portion of the National Guard of Hawaii and the Government for some months, antedating even Colonel McLean's resignation. The volunteers claim that they have not been sccorded that consideration from the Government in the matter of appointments to vacan- cies in the various departments to which their sérvices entitle them. They claim, ana with some show of justice, that whenever a vacancy occurred it was given to a member of the Citizens’ Guard, Mounted Reserve or Sharpshooters, or- ganizations which are not uniformed and have no regular drill. The volunteers claim that fifty-two nigiats’ driil in the year, besides turning out for reviews, parades and battalion maneuvers entitie them to first considera- tion. § A conference between eight of the most prominent officers and the Minister of Foreign Affairs was agreed on for last Fri- day, and the officers called at the a pointed time. After cooling their heels in the anteroom for some fifteen minutes they were curtly told by one of the clerks that the Minister would see tiem on Mon- day. They left in high dudgeon, know- ing that the Minister had seen them waiting through the open door between the anteroom and his private office. The Advertiser of the next morning contained a long story of the snubbing they had re- ceived, and expressions of their opinions on the matter. Minister Cooper afterward called on the officers personally, and said that he had previously ordered the clerk to notify them that he wished the interview po poned until Monday, and supposed that when they visited the office they were aware of the fact. They told him in re- turn that they had not been notified, and that even if they were he might have in- quired what they wanted when they called. However, it was agreed that they should call matters square and make an official call at the time agreed on Monday. They did s0, and were received by the President the interview lasting over two hours. During this time the President was plainly given to understand tbat the volunteer portion of the National Guard would go to pieces if it did not receive more consideration from the Government in the fature than it had in the past; that the officers were generally disguated at the lack of interest the men_under their command took in military affairs, and re- cited the difficulties they had in getting the men to attend drill. They suggested that hereafter the Citizens’ Guard should be limited to men over the age of 40, which would leave more material for en- rollment in the military. During the interview one of the office rs | charged the Government with favoritism, and even went so far as to assert that some of theemployes in one of the departments were paying to hold their jobs, giving names, dates and amounts. It is understood that this has reference to the Public Works Depariment,of which | one of the overseers is accused of levy- ing monthly assessments on some of the Laborers. The President said in reply that it would appear that the volunteers certainly had some grievances, but they had hitherto not reached his ears. e would promise that everything complained of should be thoroughly investigated ana redressed. This is one side of the case. The other side is that the men are sita- ply tired and have lost their interest| from too much drill. It is claimea that the necessity for a military organization in tuis country no longer exists, as the Citizens’ Guard can be called on in case of riots, etc. To offset this Colonel Fisher is advocating the erection of a fine armory buoilding to cost about $50,000, which is to be provided with everything to make the life of & National Guardsman happy and contented. He isat the head of a com- mittee appointed 1o raise the money for the purpose, the Government donating | the land and possibly a considerable sum toward the building. It is said that all of the officers who | called on the President went with their resignations in hand, to be used if the i terview did not terminate satisfactorily. By the last Australia the customs of- ficials received word of another cargo of opium destined for these isiands, together with information of the place and a sug- gestion of the date when an attempt would be made to land ir. The little Inter Island Company’s steamer Kaena was chartered, and on Saturday night left port with a picked crew, under the command of Captain. Macauley, one of the harbor pilots, and a force of customs guards and police under Marshal Brown. The party ook provisions for twenty days and the vessel was supplied with ail the coal she could carry. Nothing has yet been heard from the expedition, which is supposed to be cruising around theisland of Maui. The Kaena was selected on account of her light dranght, from which itis suppo:ed Captain Macauley knows where he is going. All excitement over Japanese immi- grants has died out, but another lot of 500 is expected to arrive any day. There has been no rioting of any kind among the Japanese, nor any suspicion of any, as has been reported. The Occidental and Oriental steamshi Coptic arrived this afternoon, .mmqmcf trip of six days one hour and twelve min- arture of the Australia wa: hour to give an oppor- tunity to answer mail received by the Conptic. W. A. Kinney, another special commis- sioner of the H aiian Government, leaves ia to-day for Washington. The new gold and silver notes suthor- ized to be printed to replace the present issue by the late Legislature have been re- ceived. Thev ara of the denomination of $5, $10, $20, §50 and §100. There are no $5 notes in the present issue and merchanis are aiready ciamoring for the new ones to bs placed in circulation, but at the Finance Office it is said it will take Regis- trar Ashley several weoks to sign them. The gold notes. or certificates, are de- signed to keep the yellow metal in the country and prevent the constant drein of gold which is now going on, Matters at the headquarters of the An- nexation Club are very quiet, the annexa. tion fight baving been transferred from this city to Washington, where several of Hawaii’s leading citizens are now to be found. Letters received by the Contic's mail state that annexatioi prospects at Wash- inzton are more encouraging than ever. Ex-Minister Thurston writes that Min- ister Hatch and Attorney-General Smith had been given an interview by President McKinley, which lasted twenty minutes, by the Austr at the close of which the President gave them an assurance that the affairs of the islands and the annexation problem would receive nis early attention. Mr. Thurston * writes most glowingly on the favorable prospects for annexation. VICTORY FOR ARMSTEAD. Indictment Against the Colorado Million- aire for Alleged Fraud Is Dismissed. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 14.—The in- dictment against Henry H. Armstead, the miilionaire mine-owner of Denver, was dismissed on motion of District Attorney | Oleott to-day. Armstead was indicted last fall on the evidence of Thomas Tay- lor, a coal-dealer of Pittsburg,whocharged that Armstead had swindled him out of $10,000 1 & stock deal. Armstead was ac- cused of securing 1 $10,000 promissory note in payment for shares in an irrigation and hydraulic mining company which, Arm- stead represented, owned rich New Mexico mining lands. z Armstead was 1n Denver when indicted. He fought extradition bitterly. When he finally arrived in New York he drove to the Manhattan Club, where Judge Me- Mahon waived formality by accepting & bond for $10,000 outside of court hours. In asking for & aismissal of the indict- t such action be considered a complete vindication. Arm- stead said later that the mining company was in good financial condition, and the prosecution was an effort 1o aid in a civil suit, I have begun a counter-suit for §100.000 damages against Taylor,” he said, “for malicious prosecution, and papers have been served in the case.” —— A VARSITY PITCHER’S FATE. Ernest Jesse Cory of Williamstown, Mass., Sustains Fatal Injuries in a Practice Game. WILLIAMSTOWN, Muass, April 14.— An autopsy over the remuins of Ernest Jesse Cory, the Williams varsity pitcher, who died last night, proves the cause of his death to have been a hemorrhage of the spleen sustained in a practice game Monday. Cory pitched good ball for the | varsity up to *Le fourth inning, when he slid into the home plate. He made the run, but had to be lifted to a bencn. He came 1o quickiy and though in great pam pitched the balance of the game. His work lacked speed and precision, how- ever. After the rame his condition grew so much worse that he decided 1o go to the college infirmary for treaiment. He apoeared to grow no worse there until this morning, when he became uncon- scions. Then the attending phys cian realized that his condition was criucal and telegraphed for his pirents imme- diately, but they did not arrive until their boy was dead. Cory was born in Buskirks Bridge, New York, twenty years ago, and was the only son of a well-to-do farmer. - SILVER-KING DALY¥’'S GUOD LUCK, Slowly Recovering from a Tery Delicate Surgical Operation.

Armed Men Placed at the Gates to Fight the Mobs, | LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 14 —Thirty- | five armed men destroyed the toligate on Salvisa and Cheeslick Pike, near Harroas- burg, last night.

They will place armed men at the gates to collect tolls, and fight the mob it necessary. In Madison County gate- keepers have all been armed.
