SR FORCED TO RELEASE MEN GALICIANS WHO HAD VIOLATED THEIR CONTRACTS. g Having Been Imprisoned, Public Opinion Grew So Strong That the Employers Were Forced to Free Them. ST J, Sept. 2.—This afternoon | Wil long be a memorable one in the un- nals of Hawaii, not merely because it | curlously ‘happens to coincide with the sixty-flrst anniversary of the birth of ex- | Queen Lilivokalani, but be 8. ‘the pressure of public opinion has won a grand victory in obtaining the release by the Oahu Sugar Plantation Company of the thirty Galician contract laborers | imprisoned in Oahu jail for violating their contracts. It will be remembered that in November of last year 42 out of a batch of 200 Gali ins were arrested under the slave penal contract labor laws for deserting contract service. They were fined and imprisoned urkil they were willing to re- turn to that Service. They declined to return to work, preferring to work upon the roads in the striped suits of e con- vict until, at 1 o’clock to-day, tliey were released. For some time past the cancellation of the contracts and the release of the men have been considered by the managers of the Oahu plantation and the Planters' Supply Association. Then the more vi if savage, attacks-of the Sunday Volcano increased popular indignation, but when The Call added its inflaence in attacking the nefarious system it was soon known and felt that the planters would have to succumb and establish what Minister of Interfor King, president of the Board of Immigration, deems a very bad, dan- gerous and far-reaching precedent in the HONOLUIL a release of these men. The Government and Messrs. H. Hack- feld & Co., agents of the Oahu planta- tion, have for some shart time past been in negotiation—if the term is not inappros priate—for the release, but until t evening the details could not be arranged, as the Government had no_power to act except under the terms of an absolute request for their release by the parties in terested in placing them in jail. The dircctors of the Oahu plantation met, and in view of the ous probable effects upon piantin interests in_general, consulted the uirectorate of. the Planters’ Assoclation, the action as The result 1 statement to the Governmeht that the Oahu Company would have no objecs | tion to the release of the prisoners if the Government should see fit to take such step. The Government not the plantation that this communic did not afford them sufficient This morning Mr. E.

There was a slight demonstration when the men araded the streets after their release, and the supporters of Mr. Sewall are endeavoring to muke political capital out of it as against the Dole faction.

Francis, one of the editors of the Paris Figaro, was in Boston when the fact of Dreyfus’ con- demnation and sentence came in. When asked what the general sentiment in France was, he said: “The thinking men all over France, no matter how much they may have thought him guilty, expected that on the grounds of expediency he would never be adjudged guilty. They thought that the fear of a revolution would pre- vent such a finding by the court-mar- | tial. I would not be surprised if at this minute Paris was in an uproar and a revolutionary mob sweeping through | her streets. There may be one. two or | three generals killed. It would not sur- be as prise me. Is this the end? Tt is only | the beginning. It is the end of the | Dreyfus case, as far a goes. That | is to say, he can never again appeal it and the Court of Cassation will have | no further jurisdiction over it. But it is the beginning of all sorts of trouble. The case will become a matter of re- ligion and a religious war. The Jews will spend their last cent to find out | the truth, and it may land on the gen- | erals. The Jews do not care who their investigation strikes. “What does the sentence of ten yvears | in prison mean?” and he shrugged his | shoulders. “That means a year. He | will be sent, probably, to a military prigson in Africa, and if he is not killed | within a year, a way will be opened for | him to get away and safe into another | land.” | “Will the Cabinet make any move | in the matter? What will the Cabinet | do if there is a revolution?" | “Simply disappear; go .away. We | change our cabinets as you put on and | take off a coat.” Lg iy AFRAID TO SEND THE : EXHIBITS TO PARIS | BUDAPEST, Hungary, Sept..10.—The following semi-official statement has | been issued: A move is on foot against sending ex- hibits to the Paris exposition in 1%0. notices of participation, on the ground that the present state of things in France renders it unsafe to send exhibits. The Cathedral Chaptre of Gran, capital of the | country of the same name on the Dan- | ube, and the residence of the Catholic | primate of Hungary, have.canceled their | decision to send exhibits, giving as a rea- son its unwillingness. to' endanger works of art worth millions of francs. e PROPOSALS MADE TO BOYCOTT EXPOSITION | ROME, Sept. 10.—Proposals have | been made to both Austria and Italy to boycott the Paris Exposition as a protest against the verdict at Rennes. Demonstrations in denunclation of | the verdict occurred to-day in' sev- eral Ttalian cities. At Naples the dem- onstrators tried to attack the French Consulate, and the police were com- pelled to intervene. Dr. Cyrus R. Teed Lectures. Dr. Cyrus R.

Yesterday Samuel Short, a resident of this place, paid Johnson a visit with the intention of buying some chickens. The two men were standing watching the antics of a number of sea lions on a reef where their rookery is situated, when they became aware that something unusual was going on. The sea lions began to bellow, and all dived into the water except one huge fellow, who stood his ground and appeared to be watching something. In a moment the cause of the alarm became manifest, when two large panters, which had swum from the mainland, crawled upon the reef and made for the sea lion. They pounced upon the big fellow, and a struggle immediately en- sued that made the two human witnesses of the battle gaze w!th_ bated breath. The fight progressed for nearly thirty minutes, during which the edge of the reef was lined with crimson foam by the blood flowing from the three combatants. Finally one of the panthers succeeded in tearing a flipper off the sea lion, when, with a horse bellow of anger the wounded bull grasped one of the panthers by the throat and dragged it into the water. The sea lion was about to drown the panther, and would have succeeded if he had not become weakened from loss of blood. As he re- leased his adversary Lewis, who had previously been too fascinated to move, ran to his house for a rifle and returned in time to Kkill one of the panthers as they made another attack upon the sea llon. The other panther sprang into the water and swam for the mainland at the crack of the gun, while the sea lion striggled out toward the ocean to die. Where the battle occurred a hole was torn in the soft mud broad and deep enough in which to bury a horse. The flipper of the sea lion and the panther skin are now in the possession of Lewis. The skin is badly torn about the head. Both men assert that twice the sea lion suc- ceeded in striking a panther with his tail, knocking it ten feet away.

R G Newspapers of the Southern Coun- tries Warn the People Against Absorption by the United States. SOt L Special Dispatch to The Call. MEXICO CITY, Sept. 10.—Private ad- vices received from Brazil show that the Government* here has been greatly in- fluenced by the accounts regarding the | alleged secret understanding between the | Bolivian and the United States Govern- ments by which the latter power was to take over the territory on the upper | Amazon claimed by Bolivia, a region rich in rubber. It is alleged in Rio de Janeiro recon- the re- reports_to that American naval officers have noitered_and roughly surveyed r th ion and sent secret Washington. It is first charged that Mr. Bryan, United States Minister to Brazil, was a’ party to the agreement with Bo- livia, but it'is now said_that the Bolivian secret agent, named Uthoff, made the agreement with the United States Consul at Para. There is some doubt about this, but such is the belief of the Brazilian | newspapers and people, and the Argen- tine press has begun, instigated by Euro- | pean residents, to set up the cry that the | colossus of the north is moving south- | ward and intends to control and ulti- mately annex all South America, and so diligent has been the propaganda of this story that the newspapers in Mexico of | the ‘clerical stripe have taken it up edi- torially, predicting the absorption of all this hemisphere by the greedy and land- | hungry Americans, who are acquiring | lands in Brazil and Peru, and who will soon be able to afford the Washington | Government a pretext for attempting to | overthrow the South American Govern- | ments. | he Buenos Ayres Standard, controlled | British subjects, asserts that Presi- | dent Roca’s visit to Brazil was to consuit | with the President of that country with | a view to, mutual defense against the | Yankees. 'There is no doubt that the Spanish and European Governments gen- erally have given their organs in Latin America the hint to publish articles de- | signed to embitter South and Central | America against the United States and | its people and break up the growing senti- | ment in favor of Pan-Americanism, which | is greatly dreaded by HEuropean commer- | clal interests so strongly intrenched in | South America, where American inter- | ests have few newspaper champions and | end It is shrewdly calculated that | by persistent newspaper attacks on the United States that the Americans can by got into high disfavor, and that con: cessions will be refused them. The journey of William McElroy Cur- | tis, formerly of the Bureau of American | Republics, to Peru and Bolivia is report- ed to be in the nature of a secret mission for his Government. There is a profound ly suspicious sentiment developing in Latin-American circles regarding the de- signs of the United States, whose power | is dreaded and whose administration is | accused of cherishing imperialistic pro- | jects on this continent. The remarkable ! unanimity of the Mexican clerical sheets | the South American journals of all sses in dealing with this matter makes it clear that it is a prearranged cam- paign with a view to_ exciting ill-will against the Americans of the great repub- lic of North America.
