II SERIOUS HiDISASTROUS ATTEMPT TO FORCE

THE BOER POSITION.

General Methuen Had to Face 12,000

Men Hours of Fighting Failed to

Force' the Enemy to Retreat.

(S. F. Bulletin, December 10.)LONDON, December 13. The War

Office has received the following dis-

patch from General Methuen, datedTuesday, December 12:

"Our artillery shelled a very strongposition held by the enemy In a long,high kopje from 4 o'clock until duskSunday. It rained hard last night.

"The Highland brigade attacked atdaybreak on Monday the south end ofthe kopje. The attack was properlytimed, but failed. The guards were ordered to protect the Highlands' rightand rear. The cavalry and mounted Infantry with a howitzer artillery battery attacked the enemy on the left.and the Guards on the right, support-ed by field artillery and howitzer artillery. They shelled the position fromdaybreak and at 1:15 I sent the Gordonsto support the Highland brigade.

"The troops Held their own in frontof the enemy's entrenchments untildusk, the position extending, Includingthe konle. for a distance of six miles tothe Modder river. Todaf I am holdingmy position, and entrenching myself.

had to face at least 12,000 men. ourloss was great."

LONDON, December 13. Considerable significance attaches to GeneralMethuen s statementthat he Is entrenching himself. Indicating a fearthat the Boers may follow up their advantage, adopt the offensive and attack him. Indeed, the gravity of thesituation from the British p'olnt ofview can hardly be overestimated.General Methuen's long lines of communication to De Aar are most vulnerable. Should they be cut. General Methuen. will And himself In a very tightplace, If only from lack of supplies.

ORANGE RIVER, Cape Colony, December 13. Three hundred and twentywounded, includ ng twenty-seve- n om- -cers, have arrived here from the Modder River. v

CAPE TOWN. Tuesday. Methuenwires that General Wauchope was killed in action yesterday.

LYRICS IN FAUST.A large audience was In the Opera

House last evfening to greet Mrs. AnnisMontague Turner on her appearance as"Marguerite in Gounod s "Faust."The Opera company did Its utmost tomake a thoroughly good rendering ofthe opera and to give support to tneHawaiian songstress nndttig whilom,favorite ot the Southern Colonies.

Mrs, Turner's rendering of "Mar-guerite" is well known to Honoluluplay-goe- rs and Is yet always fresh andpleasing. Mr. Parmley made a verygood "Faust" and entered into thespirit of the character, while his voiceWas admirably suited to the music.Kunkel acted "Mephjst.q.l1 Miss Leek-ley- 's

renderlngjfofJWthe character of"Slebel" rnet with approval, and one ofher songs won a unanimous encore.

The stage setting was good and the"soldiers' chorus" as rendered by theband was very spirited. "Faust" willbe repeated at the Saturday matineefor which school children can obtaintickets either at Wall, Nichols Co., orat the ofllce of the Board of Education.

EXCAVATORS OBTAINABLE.Louis Marks has offered the Board of

Health one or more water carts to beconverted Into excavators If needed Inthe present emergency. Agent Rey-nolds told Mr. Marks yesterday thatthe Board already had two, whichwould nrob.ibly suffice. It Is understood that the water carts could beeasily converted Into servlcable excavators and at little expense. Mr. MarksIs ready to do his part.

street last night between Japanese onthe one side and a soldier of the N. G.II., off duty, on the other. The JapsIdentified the soldier as the man whohad bayonetted one of their country-men last Thursday night, and set uponhim.

IK 1 HI IIIAMERICAN REFINING COMPANY

TO HAVE. COMPETITOR.

Ihe Colonial Sugar Refining CompanyWith a Capital of a Hundred Mil-

lionsPapers- for New Company.

NEW YORK, December 13. The Herald says: If present plans are carriedout the American Sugar Refining Company, commonly known ns the SugarTrust. Is soon to have a new and power-ful competitor. Par-cr- are now beingdrawn for the Incorporation under thelaws of the state of Delaware, of a newsugar concern hnvlng an authorizedcapital of $100,000,000. Lawyers whoare confessedly at work on the corpor-ation state positively that the newcompmy will be In no way allied withthe sugar trust. They hint strongly atopposition.

Intimations that i u, Matmessen,who has now severed his connectionwith the (rust; the Doscher Interests,whose New York sugar refining com- -t,anv is fighting the trust, mil otherIndependent refineries who are arrayedagainst It are to be merged into thenew company, come from the samesource. although the Interests Inquestion deny knowledge of the scheme.The new company plans to do businessIn Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii, as wellas In the United States proper.

Mr. Mnthlessen Is the leading spirit Inthe Glucose Sugar Refining Company,which has headquarters In Chicago.

Definite statements regarding tneproposed new sugar company were obtained from James wolcott, a memuerof the firm of Hughes & Wolcott, prominent corporation lawyers of Dover;Del. Mr. AVolcott's partner, CharlesHughes. Is Secretary of State of Dela

ware. Mr. wolcott was in this city onbusiness touching the new sugar con-cern. When questioned regarding thenlans for the company he expressedsurprise they had become public, butadmitted he wu,s working on corporatlon papers.

"The matter Is not yet ready for nubile announcement, said Mr. wolcott,"and I am not at liberty to give anybut the bare details of the scheme. Wepurpose Incorporating a company under the laws of Delaware with an authorlzad capital of $100,000,000. It willbe called the Colonial Susar RefiningCompany, although the name may bechanged before the charter Is appliedfor. It may be the Federal CompanyWe will have the right to refine sugarboth here and In the country s new col-onies, It being our Idea that sugargrown In Hawaii, Porto Rico and Culmc&n be refined there and brought to thisccuntry In the refined state more cheaply than It can be refined here after Importing the cajic. Headquarters for thenew i:iui))uny win (jrouauiy ue in nuuiNew lork and Chicago.

Mr. wolcott refused to give thenames of the Incorporators.

When asked whether the companywill be connected with the AmericanSugar Refining Company, he said:'Most assuredly not. I think you will

find that we will be quite a differentconcern.

WILCOX WANTS QUEEN.

He Also Wants To Be Governor On theSide.

Robert Wilcox was recently Inter-viewed in Seattle. He says he Is out forthe Governorship or any old thing com-ing his way. He says:

"I am a native-bor- n Hawaiian andam sent to Washington In the interestsof my people. If a territorial form ofgovernemnt is given them, they want anative Hawaiian for Governor. Sinceyou ask me, yes, they want me for Gov-ernor, and while East I will urge myown appointment.

"Hawallans accept annexation be-cause they have to. The war withSpain afforded an excuse to rush an-nexation through and the natives werenot consulted in the matter. We wouldrather see Queen Lilluokalhnl on thethrone, but accept the Inevitable be-cause we are powerless."

COLUSA STILL MISSING.

The Vessel and Crew Thought to Have. Been Lost.

The hark Colusa, which was hauledoff the reef at Kahulul last Septemberby the steamers Maul and Klnau, hasbeen given up by her owners In SanFrancisco It Is thought that the ves-sel was not properly repaired after go-ing on the reef, ns she did not comehere and go on the drydock. CaptainEwarts being satisfied with an Inspec-tion of his hull by divers. The captain'swife accompanied him and he hadcrew of eleven. The vessel must haverun Into the recent heavy storms onthe north Pacific and there Is littlehope for anyone on board.

The Colusa left Kahulul on October21st, for Departure Bay, with a cargovalued at $60,000. 'She was an old ves-sel, worth about $20,000. Her captainpaid $4,000 salvage when she was pulledoff the rocks at Kahulul.

TO OLD COMMITTEE.Judge Hartwell writes that the Ha-

waiian bill has gone to the ForeignAffairs committee of the Senate, thesame that had It last Congress. ThisIs very satisfactory. It was a ques-tion for several days whether it wouldgo to this committee or to the newcommittee on foreign possessions. Theaction probably means that the billwill be apprdv-e- in practically itspresent shape.

THE STUFF THAT SAVES CHILD-REN'S LIVES.

Mr. Hardin Norrls, clerk of the drugstore of R. Shoemaker, Perry, 111., says:"A man came Into our store the otherday and said, 'I want a bottle of thatstuff that saves children's lives.

All SIM illCASE OF A JAPANESE NEAR

KAUMAKAPILI.

Found Dead at 2 O'clock This Morning.Some Excitement An Autopsy Mil-

itary Discharged.

A Japanese died quite unexpectedlynear Kaumakupltl Church about 2

o'clock this morning. He was quitewell when ho retired for the night,When discovered he had apparentlyJust died.

There was no end of excitementamong the Japanese of the neighborhood on account of the death. Some ofthem wanted to destroy the body undhide the facts. In the meantime, how-ever, the Board of Health had been ap-prised of the death.

Dr. Hoffman and other active work-ers were called and Immediately re-paired to the premises. There the bodywas examined and everybody familiarwith the ense questioned. Nothing In-

dicating plague was discovered. It be-ing a sudden death .however, a postmortem was necessary. The body wasremoved to the Board ot Health'smorgue, where the autopsy was heldchortly after S o'clock. Portions of thelungs and the contents of the stoinafhwefo taken out for examination. Thecase seems like one of head disease.Dr. Hoffman will make a report on Itduring the afternoon.

Early this morning the Japanese hada report that their Consul, Mr. Salto,had died suddenly at 2 o'clock thismorning. It was doubtless a distortedrumor concerning the Kaumaknplllman.

All cases of sickness attended yester-day and this morning turned out sat-isfactorily, with the exception of theJohnson girl In Iwilel. The first reportof her this morning, nt 9 .o'clock, wasthat she was alive and npparantely bet-ter.

Hard work continues at the Board ofHealth ofllce. A great many routinematters have yet to be handled. Mr.Reynolds, Jack McVeigh, Sam John-son, Mr. Charlock and others have hadtheir hands quit" full. Mr. Cooper isstill at the ofllce most of the time. Thvork of cleaning up still goes on.

Colonel Jones yesterday afternoon re-turned the First Regiment to civil lifeagain. He made a speech thanking themen fro their fidelity to duty and theirInvaluable services in quarantine.About forty men volunteered to con-tinue for the present as helpers underthe Board of Health.

111 illIIFREEZE OUT ON THE BARK

ERROL.

Held In the Stream for Two Weeks.Pillkia Caused by Some Local Ship-

ping Laws.

One of tho queerest entanglementsthat ever held a ship In port has keptthe British bark Errol lying in thestream for two weeks after she hadher clearance papers all ready for de-parture. The crew have struck and re-fuse to work, Captain Henderson can-not put them nshore here on account otlocal laws against It and all he seemsable to do Is He In the stream and pay-boar-

for the men till they changatheir minds. Consul-Gener- nl Haywood,Police Captain Harry Evans and ship-ping master Oscar Lewis have oil beentrying to help the captain to straightenthe matter out, but so far he has notfound a way to get out of the harbor.

Last week Captain Henderson madeready for departure, thinking that mat-ters had been arranged. He had apilot on board and the tug Eleu madefast and began to tow the Errol out.Suddenly the men came forward In abody and demanded to be given an op-portunity to see the consul. The re-fused to obey any orders and there wasnothing for It but .to send the tug andpilot nway and visit the consul withthem. Captain Henderson accompanied three of the spokesmen to the con-sul's" office and there was a confab.which resulted In the men , being toldthat they were In the wrong. Back tathe ship went captain and crew andagain the crew failed to respond to or-

ders. Captain Henderson says that hehas had paid out l&0 ror them in ad-vance money, and guided by a mls- -chlef-makln- g "sea lawyer" among theirnumber, they asked him ror a guarantee that he would not take it out ortheir wages at the end of the journey.They also made a demand that a newsupply or rresh supplies De put onboard.

There s one way n Which CaptainHenderson might get the upper hand Inthe dispute and compel his men towork. He could have his vessel towedthree miles out and then It would neIn the onen sea. Disobedience ot orders there would be mutiny and If themen were guilty of this crime he couldhave brought them back for trial. Thatwould mean a long delay and it wouiube very expensive.

THE HAWAIIAN STAR, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1899.

innBillNAVAL SCHEME CALLS FOR TEN

MILLIONS.

The Surveys Establish the Feasibilityof a Pacific Line Private CompaniesHave Made No Surveys.

NEW YORK, December 13. A spe-cial to tlie Tribune, from Washingtonsuys:

The naval project for a Pacific citbluconnecting San Francisco, Honolulu,Guam and the Philippines, gives great-er promise of practicability than otherPlans suggested to Congress for facili-tating commercial and military com-munication In that ocean, and the billembodying its features and authoriz-ing the construction and maintenance,which has been Introduced by Sena-tor Hale, Is likely to become a law. Theonly cable surveys of a route acrossthe Pacific have been made by the navyand they have enabled the naval au-

thorities to count the cost of the en-terprise and Its feasibility with conf-ident accuracy. The army scheme forn cable to remain always a military linehas been planned wholly on theoreti-cal considerations Involving a mkl-ocea- n

landing place on a coral rockfrequently bubmergtd each year In thestormy season.

The private cnble companies, whichhave been rivals in seeking Govern-ment aid, havo made no surveys, andtheir projects have savored stronglyof speculation at Government expense.Hie principal prlvnte company asksCongress to give it a charter and guaii-nnte- e

a subsidy of $400,000 annually fortwenty years. During that period Itoffers to carry Government messagesfree and thereafter will charge the Gov-ernment one-ha- lf commercial ratesUnder this plan the Government, wouldpay out $8,000,000, and In the end thecompany would have the cable andcould sell It to England, Germany, Rus-sia or Japan.

The naval project calls for a $10,000,-00- 0

plant. Including submarine lines,stations and equipment, to be laid bytegular naval vessels and to bo deliv-ered when completed to the Postmaster-Gene-

ral, who will manage, operateand maintain the service in the samemann.er as the postal system, with asingle regard for public interest. TheTribune on November 10 published theofTlclat chart of the surveys madeficrosi the Pacific by the United Statesship Nero, with an account of the greatwork performed by that vessel, andnow presents the legislative propositionin Its entirety. In explanation of theappropriation called for, it is said byRear Admiral Bradford, who has hadcharge of the matter, that $1,000,000 isestimated ns the cost of maintenancefor the first year, after which the Post-offic- e

Department could pay the ex-penses out of the receipts.

.WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1S99.

Aguinaldo Is playing hide and seekwith the American forces. His eanysurrender may be looked for If he findsthere Is any money In It.

Dr. Raymond sounds a very strongnote of warning which It would be wellto heed. The Inspectors of the Boardof Health virtually agree with him.The present cleaning of Chinatown Is

' merely perfunctory. It should be thor-oughly done. Excavators are wantedand they have not been sent for. Someone should get a move on.

The Boer war Is proving a prettyhard nut to crack. The defeats of Me-thu-

and Gatacre will seriously de-

range General Buller's plans and en-

danger the result of the whole cam-paign. It Is apparent that General Gat-acre was not properly Informed as toihe nature of the country he was oper-ating In, which Is a very serious mis-take. The fate of Klmberly, .Mafeklng

'and Ladysmlth now hangs by a verythin thread.

Those doctors who drew some hopefor their opposition to the Board ofHealth from Major Wood's views arerather out of It. The Major appreciatesthe efforts of that body and fullylieves that the plague was present Inour city. He commends the stringentmeasures that were used to stamp Itout, and his evidence on the mainlandwill be of great value In showing whathas been done, and how little need therewill be for "scare" of anything comingfrom Honolulu.

The cable surveys made by the Navyare of considerable value at the pres-ent moment and clear the way for pro-gress In that great 'enterprise whlcnwill prove of such Inestimable value tothese Islands. With the expressed de-

sire of the executive to push the cablematter either as a government enter-prise or under a franchise to a private

' company, we can feel well assured thatthe matter will take shape early In thecongressional session. Senator Hale.'sbill, which contemplates, putting thecable In charge of the Postmaster- - Gen-eral, Is spoken of as likely to becomelaw. Of course the private companieswhich are seeking a franchise will an-

tagonize the bill, and It Is from themthat opposition will come.

USELESS DISCUSSION.

"The Inadequacy of the amount (forremoval of garbage) was discussed inthe Board room often enough," saysDr. Day in a letter which strives to de-

fend the Board of Health. That is justwhere the trouble lies, the members ofthe Board discuss In solemn conclavebut they do not go any further thandiscussion. It Is not much use discuss-ing. It would be much better to be upand doing. If as far back as 1896, Dr.Day says he considered that the gar-bage removal funds were Inadequatewhy did he and his colleagues not be-

stir themselves to obtain more moneyfor the purpose from the Legislature.They certainly did not.

Had the Board been properly Inform-ed as to the condition of Chinatown, itcould have described that mal-odoro-

district in .such terms as would havedrawn money from the Legislature itquick shape. But It Is very evidentthat members of the Board of Healthhad not realized its condition or thePresident of that body, who was alsothe attorney-gener- al and had a voiceon the tloor of both houses, would havemade an effort to obtain more moneyfor" cleansing purposes, and would haveshown what the conditions were. , Butthis was not done.

Jioreover, It would have been a gooathing If some of the members had em-ployed their talent for letter writing Inbringing the condition of the Chlmt-tow- n

pest holes before the public. TneStar has' constantly, during the pasttwo years, called attention to the evilconditions, and Its campaign woudnave oeen materially strengthened uysupport from the medical gentlemenwho sit on the Board. But one verymuch doubts If the members of theBoard really realized the noisome messthat was at their doors. It Is less remunerative to examine the stinks andtilth of Chinatown than It Is to boardsteamers and examine Immigrants.

SHIFTING BLAME.

The Board of Health ofllcials haveevidently been seeking round whomthey can devour. In other words theyhave been trying to shift responsibilityfrom thomsolves to other shoulders.But the shoulders that ought to bearthe burden will have to bear it.

At tho meeting of the Board two daysago, the ofllcials had a good deal tosay about the police department andthe District Court. They tried to rununder a cloak of their own raising andmake out that tho conditions in China-town were not their fault, but the faultof the wicked Judge and the still more

wicked, marshal, the one who would notconvict on evidence that would not tieadmitted, and the Other who nolleprossed when the evidence broke downin toto.

The case referred to, as far as TheStar can learn, was one In which aman "was brought up for maintaininga nuisance. When the defendant wasproduced the very simple question wasasked whcthgr tho mnn Ijefort thecourt was the responsible party. Thereply from tho Health oulclnl was thathe did not know. How could such ft

case go on. Of course It was nolleprossed.

But The Star does not desire to goInto particulars. It does not desire toshow that the cases brought by theBoard of Health olllclals were so loosethat It took every effort of the prose-

cuting olllclals to make them hang to-

gether, that Important evidence waslacking and that whatever failure ofJustice there might have been was dueto slipshod manner In which the evi-

dence was brought forward and tnewitnesses were lacking for unsupportedstatements, even to the extent of notknowing whether the defendant wasreally the defendant or not. What TheStar wants to 'point out is that evenIf the District Court was as rotten asthe Board of Health officers try tomake out, they had ample opportunityto right their wrongs and do that dutyto the community for which they re-

ceive their salaries.For a moment It may be granted that

the District Court did the olllclals ofthe Board injustice In dismissing caseswhere the evidence was so flimsy thatno court of justice could take it Intoconsideration. If they thought them-

selves improperly treated, instead ofbeing rightly treated for their ownnegligence In getting their evidence,they certainly had ample means ofrighting themselves in another case.The President of the Board of HealthIs, according to our anomalous way ofworking things, always the Attorney-Genera- l.

The Attorney-Gener- al has athis command two prosecuting officers.It would be quite competent for theAttorney-General-Preside- nt to use oneor both of those prosecuting officers Inthe duty of slating the wicked peoplewho had transgressed the decrees ofthe Board. But the Attorney-General-Preside- nt

has evidently, up to the pres-ent, been satisfied with allowing theprosecutions to remain In the handsof the prosecuting attorney for the po-

lice department very much to thechagrin of the Health officers.

To put the thing In a nutshell theBoard of Health officials have beenstriving to find a scapegoat, and con-sidered that the Police Court, JudgeWilcox and the Marshal were very con-

venient people to throw their own sinsupon. With the general public thescheme will not work because by thistime the public Is very well awarewhere the blame lies. The hand ofcriticism has been held, because it hasbeen deemed loyal to the good of thecountry to withhold it, but it is veryunwise for the ofllcials to challengecriticism. Their case Is a bad one andthe time will come when it will beshown up from lowest to highest.

IDMHOA HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOU- R

BAGS UKCEIVED.

Clerks tire Woiking Night and Day.The Distribution Will Extend IntoTomorrow Morning.

The post office Is rwamped with mailas it has never been before through allthe rush of transport business. Thebiggest malls ever received at once inHonolulu arrived last night and thismorning on the Coptic and Australia.Work has gone on night and day sincethe Coptic's arrival, but it will be sometime tomorrow morning before all thepapers and packages have been dis-tributed.

Louis Kenake brought a hundred andtwenty bags of mail from the Copticlast night. Most of It arrived at abouthalf past eleven, though a few bagscame on the pilot boat at about nine.By three o'clock this morning, the en-tire force having worked continuously,the letters were distributed and the inenrested till live Vclock ,when they beganon the papers, while Louis Kenake pre-pared to get some more from the Aus-tiall- a.

He returned from her withtwelve bags more and the men were puton the first class matter again. Theletters have all been distributed nowand papers are being disposed. It i&

estimated that about 23.000 letters ar-rived here on the two setamers and over."0,000 packages of newspapers, not In-

cluding a large quantity of Christmaspresents.

This morning the Post Office waspiled deep with mall matter In everybit of available, space. The rush of peo-ple nfter mall was quite equal to thebusiness inside. In addition to thehandling of the matter received theclerks had an outgoing mall, on theCoptic. The lack of room in the PostOlllce is very apparent at such timesas this and the fact that people whowant private boxes cannot get themresults In a long line of waiters at thewindows.

WANT A SENATOR;Governor Cage will probably call anextra session of the California Legis-lature for the purpose of choosing asenator. John D. Spreckels, M. II. ByYoung, Irving M. Scott und Dan Burnsare all candidates.

The Coptic would not even come Intothe harbor. Captain Hinder feared thatthe Japanese authorities, not veiy fav-orably disposed towards his company,would subject him to a long quarantineit there wns nny excuse. The pilot boatand the tug Kleu brought the passen-gers and mall ashore lust night andthis morning the tug Iroquois went outwith a supply of water. The Aoranglstayed outside all night. Captain Hayrefused to take even mall on board, orto allow the custom house boarding of-ficer on the vessel. He only entered theharbor on a promise that he should begiven n clear bill of health. The freightfor here, consisting of n consignment ofbales of bags, was discharged on lighters.

Every precaution Is being tnken toavoid risks of Infection among the crewof the Australia.

Only last week we examined the beetbrewed by the Capital Brewing Com-pany of Olympla, Wash., and It Is aperfect Illustration of the quality ofbeer which we are always glad to com-mend, for the analysis showed It to beentirely free from any trace of any In-

jurious substance. Such a high gradeof beer Is most beneficial In its use, fornone of the pure malt and hops havebeen displaced by harmful ingredients.Every hyglenist will concur with us Insaying that a beer of such superiorexcellence Is a very wholesome bever-age. Physicians often have occasionto prescribe a pure beer for cases ofdebilitation, and they can safely order-- his beer, made by the Capital Brewing

ompany.L. H. Dee has in his keeping the

F lllpluo Government To He a Dictator-ship Murderers Caught by IT. S.

Tro.ips Spanish Prlfoners Released.

LONDON, December 12. Renter'sTelegram Company has received thefollowing dispatch from Hongkong:

"The Insurgent Governmentof the Philippines will bo changed

to a dictatorship, to continue hostilitiesagainst the Americans exclusively bythe methods of guerrilla warfare. TheFilipino army Is being spilt up Intosmall bands, the troops taking an oathbefore separation that they will lightuntil their country's rights are recog-nized."

The foregoing dispatch was evidentlysent by the Filipino Junta in Hongkong.

MANILA, December 12 7:r,0 P. M.(olonel Smith, with a detachment ofthe Seventeenth Infantry, surroundedand captured In a village near Malasquia party of guerrillas who had madetheir headquarters there. The partyIncluded the band which assassinatedseven officials at Malasqtil for friendli-ness to the Americans. All are insur-gents who became bandits when thedisintegration of the Filipino army be-gan. They kept the country aroundMalasqul In a state of terror for sev-eral weeks, and committed twenty-fiv- e

murders In less than that number ofdays. When they were caught theywere promptly sent to General Mac-Arthu-

headquarters at Bayombongby train.

It Is expected that they will be speed-ily tried and either shot or' hanged asan example, if convicted.

The whole country north of San Fer-nando and between San Fernando andManila, except within the permanentline of troops around the cities and theclosely patrolled stretches of railroad.swarms with similar bands. Probatorythey will be Increased by men from Pl- -lar's army, many of whom are makingtnelr way south to join the Insurgentforcp In Cavite province.

Only a small proportion of the Insurgent arms have been surrendered andthe problem of suppressing this guer-rilla warfare Is anything but easy ofsolution. Some of the American offi-cers think it worse than fighting In-dians, owing to the difficulties of thecountry and the trouble in locating theenemy, who resort when hard pressedto tne amigo uouge and hide their guns.Some of the Americans favor the issuance of a proclamation declaring all natives round with arms to be bandits,punishable as criminals, Instead of be-ing treated as prisoners of war.

Information has been received atheadquarters that "00 Spanish prisonershave been shipped from Vlgan to Manna and that 1000 others have been as-sembled In Vlgan, including GeneralPena. Probably these are Spaniardsreleased by General Young's troops Inthe Bpiiguel district, where they wereconcentrated by the Insurgents.

ORDERED REVOKED.The following Instructions were is-

TWO POINTED QUESTIONS AN-SWERED.

What Is the use of making a betterarticle than your competitor if you cannot get a better price for It?

Ans. As there Is no difference In theprice the public will buy only the bet-ter, so that while our profits may besmaller on a single sale they will bemuch greater In the aggregate.

How can you get the public to knowyour make Is. the best?

If both articles are brought promi-nently before the public both are cer-tain to be tried and the public will veryquickly pass judgment on them and useonly the better one.

This explains the large sale on Cham-berlain's Cough Remedy. The peoplehave been using It for years and havefound that It can always be dependedupon. They may occasionally take upwith some fashionable novelty putforth with exaggerated claims, but arecertain to return to the one remedythat they know to be reliable, and forcoughs, colds and croup there is nothingequal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.For sale by all dealers and druggists.Benson, Smith & Co., general agents)Hawaiian Islands.

mil on inVIEWS OP AN' EXPERIENCEDSANITARIAN.

Local Physician Says the AsiaticQuarter Should be Remodelled HisIdeas Approved.

Dr. J. H. Raymond does not say thatthere has been no plague In Honolulu.At the same time he does not say therehas been. His point Is, merely, that :'nall cases of contagious diseases theIdentity of the visitation should bescientifically established before a de-claration Is made. This argument laon the commercial or business side ofthe question.

But let that subject drop, adds tnedoctor. " There Is another, ever-presen- t,

g, mat-ter to which Honolulu must sooner orlater give direct and undivided atten-tion. It may be neglected now. Thepresent scare Is n mere zephyr, a mere,rem!nder, so to speak. But the lessonIs a deep and important one.

"Will the Board of Health and thepeople take It? or will they put it oltuntil a future which is surely comingwhen a a few thousands of dollars andn sporadic effort at cleaning the townwill not avail against a plague that isupon us?

"I do not wish to appear sensational.I want no notoriety. As a medicalrann, however, a student of sanitationand a man who has followed a greatmany scientific methods In Chicago andother eastern centers, I wish to saythat Chinatown Is today as n smoulder-ing volcano to Honolulu. From centerto circumference It Is a pest breedinghole. It Is a danger every year andevery day. The present campaign ofcleaning and disinfecting has done lit-

tle good. The effect Is but temporary.Any year or any day therf may springup out of it an epidemic that will carryoff thousands, will Impair business. In-

jure" our commerce for years, cost agreat deal of money and divert touristtravel from our shores for a long time.

"The danger Is ever present. FilthIn Chinatown has gone on accumulat-ing for years. Houses and the groundall over the district are thoroughly sat-urated with It. It is one vast pest hole,ripe for contagious diseases and breed-ing every ailment possible.

"The remedy Is a complete remodel-ling of the district. All the old shacksmust come down and the ground be pu-rified. I should take the fire departmentdown there and have a wholesale condemnation. Fire will do the work.Then, in the district, there should beerected substantial, healthy buildings,under sanitary rules of the Board ofHealth. There should be room betweenthem, with sufllclent driveways, etc.The size of each living room and thenumber of persons to occupy It shouldprescribed by law and the law en-forced. Inspection should go on un-ceasingly, and I feel sure that In a few-year- s

the district would attain a rea-sonably sanitary status.

"A class of Chinese and Japaneseshould be removed from the district al-together. They should be given someother place, one thgt might be easierquarantined in case of an emergency.The present Chinatown borders direct-ly on the city, nnd the lives and healthof everybody are jeopardized constant-yl- .

In a serious visitation it would benext to Impossible to successfully quarantine It.

"N'n. the property owners would notlose by. The town is grow-ing. Chinatown is now needed by thebusiness community. There Is a de-mand for now warehouse room. B:gwarehouses might go up along Paunhlstreet. Stores, operated by white menand natives, would opon In Japan Seaand Kiklhale and on Kekaullke streetand other districts that are at pres-ent a disgrace to civilization. Prop-erty valuations would rise by leaps andbounds; rents would go up; and mplace of losing, the owners would bevastly benefitted.

"The point to be considered, however.Is the health of the city. We are thecross-road- s of the Pacific. Our com-merce Is our life. Destroy our com-merce and you destroy the countiy.There is no two ways about that. Leta plague get a firm foothold In lcsChinatown hotbed and the end I haveIndicated Is imminent."

Dr. Raymond Is deeply earnest In hisviews. He Is convinced that Chinatownshould go. It Is a striking fact, too,that the Board of Health Inspectors,who have recently explored the district,heartily coincide with him. Many ofthem advocated a wholesale burning aweek ago. Some reported places thatIt was impossible to clean at all with-out fire. No part of the district wasreally cleaned nor can It be. A visitto some of the shacks wll convince ablind man of this fact. Lime nnd for-malin has been of temporary benefit.

It would seem that If Dr. Raymond'sIdeas were carried out the sanitary andmoral problems of tho city might beunraveled together. This is anotherImportant thought.

'CAPE TOWN. Monday, Dec. 11.Gatacre reports as follows:

'The idea to attack Stormberg seemed to promise certain success, but thedistance was underestimated by myselfand the local guides. A policeman tookus round some miles, and consequentlywe were marching from :30 p. m. until4 a. m. and were landed in an Impass-able position. I do not consider theerror Intentional. The Boers commencedflrlnir from the top of an unscaleauiehill. and wounded a good many of ourmen while in the open place. The be-co-

Northumberlands tried to turnout the enemy, but failed. The SecondIrish Fus leers seized a kopje near oyand held on, supported by the mountedinfantry and Cape police. The gunsunder Jeffreys could not have been better handled. Hut l regret to say matone gun was overturned In a deep mil- -lah and another same in quiCKsanu.Neither could be extricated In the timeavailable.

'I collected and withdrew our forcesfrom ridge to ridge for about nine milesThe Boer guns were remarkably wellserved. They carried accurately juuvyards. I am holding Bushmans Hoekand Cyphergat. I am sending the IrishIlilles ana jNortnumuerianus to sireK-stro- m

to recuperate. The wounded pro-ceeded to Queenstown. The missingNorthumberlands number 366."
