SANTA ROSA HOSPITAL.
Its Objects and Aims and Relative
Position TO City IN Einan-
CIaI WAY.

Sici oS'
The santa Rosa hospital, under the
sole charge of Rev. Mother st. Pierre,
is one of our oldest established and
most useful institutions. 1t has
grown from quite an incon siderable
establishment to one of great interest
and moment to the city of san Anto-
MO. Its projectors are now, beside
the general sick of the city, caring for
the sick of the Southern Pacific rail-
way, along all its lines from Lafay-
cite, Louisiana, to Ell Paso, Texas, and
it's branches inclusive, also the Mex
lean International from Spotford, Tex
as. to Torreon, Mexico; also the San
An GuniO and Arkansas Pass, from Kerr
VILE to Houston and all its branches
] inclusive. The minimum of SICK to care
for from all these roads is 90 per
month, and the maximum Will reach
1876 per month. They derive from this
a revenue which is applied entirely to
the purpose of rearing 100 little or
phans in the asylum, which are
picked up in the city and county ;
which, were it not for the enterprise
and self-sacriticing spirit of these Sis
ters, would have to look for susten-
ance to the cold hand of charity as
administered by the municipal organ
ization, and it would appear, with
these facts presented in very meagre
manner, by the benefits which the city
derives from such an organization,
! that this institution should be spared
the burden of paying a tax to the
county and municipal authorities,
which are deriving annually benefit
of, at the least figures, S25, 900 radiance
of taxation to pay for these poor, which
otherwise would have to be borne by
the city and county.
Now to eliminate the question OF
the great herOism and self-sacriticing
devotion which actuates the sisters
thus engaged in their alienation of
human suffering, for that devotion
which emanates spOn eOusly from
the heart of woman who has sworn
her allegiance in the cause of charity
is of that character which no munich
pal organization can buy with money
though they pay a premium of 100 per
cent for services rendered, and the
incentive for this article is too plainly
seen to be questioned, and that is,
that the city and county authorities
exempt from taxation the institution
OF the Santa Rosa hospital.

Cancer can be Cured

DR.. r. c. Black, of Georgia, is in the city
on a visit. He has devoted the last six
years of his life to curing cancers alone, and
during that time has not failed to cure a
single case. He came in possession of a
remedy from experiments made on very
bad case, which killed the cancer in forty
eight hours, and in ten days time the whole
thing was removed and the affected parts
began to heal rapidly and was soon well, no
signs of it ever having returned.
He has cured hundreds of cases within
the last six years. and wants the public to
understand that he treats nothing but can
GERS. The doctor makes no charge until
the patient is discharged-cured. He will
remain in San Antonio, Texas, several
months. Consultation free, at 4l0 Pre"a
street or at 402 East Houston
street. DIR. Black is graduate of
the Medical University of Pennsylvania, at
Philadelphia and has practiced over thirty
years.

The Alamo Grafton,

The Alamo Monument association
have in consideration a patriotic en-
tertainment on July 4th at the opera
house, proceeds to swell the monu-
mental fund which grows little too
slowly to suit progressive mind.
An grafton on the fall of the Alamo
was decided upon provided drawing
card could be played for speaker and
Governor Ross was appealed to, to
fill the bill. His response has been
received, assuring the committee of
his perfect sympathy with them in
all their movements, but declining to
deliver the grafton on the ground that
his visits to the state quarantine sta
tions and other necessary duties will
prevent his preparing such an grafton
as would be fitting on such an occa-
sion. In the event of following up
the proposed programme a local ora
tor is suggested and the name of T. J.

nectiOn Herewith.

SOMETHING ABOUT WILCOX.

Coming events cast their shadows
before" says the seer to Lochiel, and
turning up the files of the Pae Alma
OF 1881 it is startling to see the fol-
lowing statement which Wilcox
wrote shortly after his arrival in
Europe: "The persons, who have
given reins to this revengeful
thoughts of treason, have dug their
own graves. But what remains to
be said you will hear after G. G..
Moreno gets back. The only thing
l wish is that there may be patience
among the Hawaiians until Justice
shall be done in Hawaii and under
the leadership of the Son of Italy
the Hawaiian race will be brought
to life again."
This was written when the Don,
who had been Hawaiian foreign
minister for three days, was still in
hopes of returning to the country.
He is the ''Son of Italy" under
whose guidance the Hawaiian race
was to be brought to life again. The
fact was the Hawaiian race was
alive then and has been alive all

We learn that the action taken by
the Government in disbanding the
Second Battalion of the Hawaiian
Volunteers, is based upon the follow.
ing letter:
SECOND BATTALION HEADQUARTERS, !
August LIST, 1889.
V. V. Ashford, Colonel commanding
Hawaiian Volunteers,
SIR: Since the events OF July Both
my feeling, as the present commanding
officer of the Kamehameha Guard, is
that l should resign in consequence of my
complete inability to bring forward any
men of my command, as ordered by you
to support the authorities in military
capacity on that day. Before doing so,
however, [ wish to report the circum-
stances, and offer some suggestions for
your consideration.
Immediately on learning of the out
break, came to the Police Station,
where l understood headquarters had
been temporarily established, and re-
ceived orders from you, from time to
time, during the day. I found that
many, if not most of the men in some of
the companies of my command, were in
sympathy with the insurgents; and in
deed large number of them were actu-
ally with the party who entered the
Palace grounds in the morning. Two of
the killed on that day were Poni, LIST
sergeant of the Princes Own, and Sam
Loika, of the Leleiohoku Guard.
The only officers who answered my
summons to report for duty, were those
of the Kings Own Company, some fifteen
men of this company also reported to
me, as well as about twelve of the Leleio-
hoku Guard; but not being able to fur
nish them with arms, and their services
at that time not being required in any
capacity in which they could act without
weapons, sent them home, with orders
to be ready on call. These men held
communication with me till the end of
the trouble, ready to do anything called
upon. will furnish you list of their
names further on.
AS you already know, the Queens Own
Company has been in a state of mutiny,
and acting in defiance of orders from
headquarters for some time past. One
of their officers, A. S. Mahaulu, was with
the insurgents, and fought with them
till the time of the surrender, but
escaped.
The staff officers of the Battalion all
to me as soon as they heard
OF the trouble, without awaiting direct
order, and held themselves ready during
the day.
| now respectfully ask that the entire
Battalion be disbanded. I am satisfied
that no loyal military Battalion organic
alton can be maintained from the ma
terial now present on the roll of the
corps. / am of opinion that frst-class
single company could be maintained by
a wise selection of the men now consti-
tuting the Battalion, and probably intro.
ducing a few others; and hope the
authorities may not see fit to entirely
strike the native force Off the Volunteer
Roster; but as already stated, believe
the first thing to do is to at once disband

VISITING CIVIL ENGINEERS.

The Island of Oahu has the eli
mate, the soil, and the water supply
requisite for productiveness much
greater than at present attained.
Extensive tracts Of fertile soil now
produce no valuable crops, while the
storm waters, which at periods fall
so abundantly, flow to waste into the
sea; and even the continuous streams,
and the supplies which can be read
lily obtained from flowing wells, are
adding comparatively little to the
natural products of the islands, I'M
aided by the improved methods in
use elsewhere.
In view Of the progressive spirit
of the present time, this Island pre-
sents a striking example of unde-
veloped resources.
Our enterprising fellow citizen, Mr.
B. F. Dillingham;, is moving in the
right direction in this matter. Dur
ing his recent trip to the coast he
secured the services of Messrs. Ct. F.
Allardt and Jas. D. Schuyler to aid
him in forming his plans for extern
sive irrigation works.
These gentlemen are engineers of
acknowledged ability. They have
for years been prominently connected
with Investigations of water supplies
on the Pacific coast, and have been
engaged in the construction of works
for irrigation and city supply, in
various parts of the Pacific slope.
We look forward with much ex-
pectation to their forthcoming re-
port, because in the result of these
Investigations all are more or less in
terested. The benefits derived from
an increase in the products Of a coun-
try reach, either directly or indirectly
all branches of the community, and
these can only be obtained by Sc
curing better and if possible aper-
manent supply of water for irriga-
ton, as is being done in central
and southern California The gen
tlemen named left on Tuesday last
to examine the bitches and sources
of water supply on the islands, and
will probably be able to Judge of
what can be done in this way on
Oahu.

Works of Necessity.

works OF Necessary
Mr.. EDITOR: In your weekly issue
of the 18th, mention is made In the
Kauai Notes" of an outrage being
committed against the community,
and an injustice done to laborers by
compelling them to work on the Sab
bath day, etc. In justice to the
'negleetful police" and others con-
cerned, I deem it my duty to reply
to ''Veritas," the watchful guardian
of the mmunity's peace. The
work that was done on the Sabbath
day was work Of necessity, as was
proved to the proper authorities,
who are better judges of the neces-
sity, than your correspondent.
The compelled laborers'' came
and received their one dollar per day
and asked for more injustice" and
Sabbath work, and were disappointed
to learn that there was no further
necessity for their services that would
warrant their being compelled to
work on the Sabbath.
In reply to the query, Where were
the police, etc.? I will say, in justice
to them and their superior officers,
they were on duty and arrested and
marched to jail ten (all who were at
work. of the compelled laborers.'
