ISLAND NOTES.
K11AurA. Kauai. Sept. y, 1885.

KILAUEA, Kauai, Sept. %, 1883.
On Friday last, about 7 so p. M,
cane field on the Kilauea plantation was
discovered to be on fire. The plantation
hands, of all nationalities, turned out
with alacrity, and under the able direc-
ton of the manager and his lunas, the
flames were soon conquered and the lire
extinguished. The damage sustained is
inconsiderable, compared with what
might have happened had it occurred
two or three hour later, when ali hands
would probably have retired for the
night. The area of cane destroyed is
somewhat less than half an acre. A re-
ward of 800 has been offered for the
conviction of the person or persons who
set the cane on'fre. Up to the hour OF
writing no discovery has been made, and
the probability is the incendiary that
caused the blaze will remain unknown.
A fracas took place among the Kilauea
Portuguese on Sunday last. AS is usual
in most squabbles, there was a woman
at the bottom of it. A Portuguese living
at Kealia fell in love with an Azorean at
Kilauea. 4 marriage quickly followed,
though it is said the mother of the
bride was averse to the union. The
honeymoon over, the young husband
allowed his wife to go and see her
mother, who kept her daughter until
called for. The deserted husband, find
ing single life miserable after a few
months experience of con jugal bliss, re-
paired to his dear mOther-in-law, who
resides at Kilauea. In accents anything
but sweet and low, he demanded imme-
| date delivery of his spouse. The irate
parent refused compliance with the re-
quest. A forcible entry into the dwell
| ing-hOuse was made, where a free fight
ensued, in which the old lady received
deep cut above her right temple. a
policeman soon appeared and took the
| young man in charge, lodging him in
| Jail in Hanalei The District Judge,
| Sheriff, and large retinue of native
lawyers, came up to Kilauea this morn
ing to deal out Justice As | write the
trial goes on, and is likely to go on for
several hours longer, inter preting in
three languages-Portuguese, English
and Notwithstanding to be resorted to
in order to get at the facts.
On the same day as the above Oc-
Cured there was a marriage among the
Portuguese. The newly-wedded pair
looked upon the disturbers of the peace
with an air of anxiety, and turning
away, vowed they would endeavor to
steer clear of similar imbroglios.
Viscount Tori arrived here yesterday
on his tour of inspection. He visited
the Japanese quarters, and expressed
himself highly pleased with the pro
visions made for the comfort of his
countrymen and women. He also spent
several hours interrogating them indi-
vidually, and from what can be learned
there were hardly any complaints made
to him. On the other hand, he was well
pleased with what they had to say to
him concerning their treatment.
Weather fine and everything looking
blooming. The darkest blot on our ex-
istence is the irregularity of our once
favorite island steamer, James Makee.

THE TRANsvAAL REPUBLIC.

AS a matter of news, it may be
stated that "the Transvaal Republic
is bankrupt and unable to meet its
engagements This is interesting as
the inevitable sequence of events that
must be fresh in the memory of most
of our readers. The BOer leaders ap-
piled successfully to Holland and
Germany for financial aid, but met
with no response. When it suited
the Dutch and German Governments
to embarrsss the British, the warlike
spirit of the South African Dutch was
encouraged; but it does not suit either
power now to offend England, and
the Transvaal Beers were told that
they must meet their own engage
ments and make the best terms they
could with England.
Baffied in this quarter, they
turned their eyes to the Orange
Free State and asked to fed
crate, but this Boer Republic
would not listen to their overtures,
although it was willing to federate in
1857, and rendered secret aid in the
war against the English during 1851.
The Beers are bad fnanciers. how
ever. In 1868 the Volksraad author
lied the President to borrow G3OO
($1,5O0); but as only $3.50 could be
raised on 'gOod security" the author
ity to borrow was withdrawn; e12,OOO
($6O, 0OO) was raised by issuing notes
on the Republic, and when these be-
came due 100000 was borrowed 10
pay principal and interest. This was
the state of the Transvaal debt when
England annexed it in 1877.
They resented annexation and Pc
titioned for retrocession. Sir Bartle
Frere, who had an Indian reputation,
was sent out from England to the
Cape, but he only complicated affairs,
aud Lord Wolseley, then Sir Garnet,
incensed them afterwards by declar-
ing that their country was annexed
to England and that to England it
would belong while the sun continued
to shine. This boast was on a par
with his fixed date for entering Khar-
tOum. When the Zulu trouble be-
gan the Beers resisted civil process,
raised their Republican flag, put
1900 deerstalkers in the field, and
whipped the British at Ingogo,
Laing's Mex, and disa> trously at
Majuba Hill, place like PunchbOwl,
where two hundred British were
killed and wounded, including Gen
eral Colley, The balance, being picked
troops, seeking safety in flight. Then
Sir Evelyn Wood signed an armistice
with the BOer tliumvirate resulting
in peace. The Transvaal regained its
independence, the Beers undertaking
to pay England's expenditure in
governing the territory during the
annexation. This was 1265, 600
($I, 1926, OO0), and was to bear 81 per
cent interest, payable in twenty-five

THE Manila "COmmerciO" states
that news from Madrid intimating
that an act had been introduced into
the COrtes, providing that colonial
sugar be admitted duty free, had been
received with the liveliest satisfac-
ton. 1t was believed this would have
the effect of stimulating sugar pro-
duction on the PHILIPPINES, SO that
the output would equal that of the
largest crops of former years.

in the second degree; but the shot
which killed Hurley having been
fired in the dark, with no one to
swear that they actually saw the
accused fire it, although every

Its prerogatlyc powers and gave
