KOHALA NE WIS.
Indendiary Fires The Glorious
FOurfh-FafaI Accidents.

AAUCAu1dLv TIIGS- Inc GLORIOUS
Fourth-FafaI Accidents.
July I'd an incendiary fire in the
night. starting from several points,
burned twenty acres of cane belong
ing to the Beecroft Plantation. A
reward of $500 is offered for the con-
viction of the guilty parties.
July 4th, the Kohala people would
doubtless have beenIwilling to forego
some of their anticipated pleasures
of the day for the sake of the plan
tiers, but the heavy rain that dark
ened the early morning cleared off
about 10 o'clock, after having nicely
laid the dust. and the foreign resi-
dents gathered on the premises re-
Gently occupied by Mr.. Eaton in Ka-
paau, for as perfect day of quiet
enjoyment as was ever passed in the
district.
Target practice came first in the
order Of events, Mr.. John Hind
making the highest individual score
in ten rounds, and the winning side
coming out only four points ahead.
Afterwards came a delightful spread
on the smooth lawn beneath the
trees, followed by dancing in the
house, games of lawn tennis, swing
ing and yarn telling outside, until
about 5 P. NJ, when the company dis
persed feeling that they had had
really enjoyed themselves. Smaller
parties were heard of as having gone
off on private excursions.
During the night, a large heavy
man by the name of Ku, was found
dead by the roadside, having fallen
from his horse while under the infiu-
ence of liquor and broken his neck,
as was shown by the evidence
brought before the coroner's jury.
On July 9th, another Hawaiian
became the victim of giant powder,
losing his hand while fishing. When
neither law nor the painful expert
ence of others suffices to deter men
from indulgence in dangerous and
illegal practices, it would seem that
there was no further resort but to
impose penalty on those who are
injured, and perhaps on those who
sell the explosive, as we'll, for illegal
purposes. The danger from any
legitimate use of the material being
very remote.
In referring in previous letter to
the fire that occurred in the store of
M. r. Freitas, mention was not
made of the fact that he himself was
in Honolulu at the time. This was
the third case within a year, when
the fire has occurred during the alb
sence of the proprietor or local head.

ing heads, somewhat abbreviated.
1st. i" American missionaries in
fiuence is complete and successful in
Ponape. Voluntary submission of
natives as to religion and civiliza-
ton, but complete independence of
any political authority, being ruled
only by native Kings and Chiefs.
I'd. 1.-The Spanish feeling COM
PEELED, after trouble with Germany,
to assert sovereignty, chose Ponape
as seat of Government, finding the
natives did not willingly submit to
Spanish authority or religion, ac-
cused the American missionaries of
melting the. natives against Spain.
Sd. "The bitterness begun thus
three years ago, was intensified by
the late rising of several tribes, in
which the Spaniards lost at least
forty men killed and sixty
wounded.
18th. " Though the Governor says
that he has good evidence against
the missionaries, has brought none
to trial, but treated them as guilty.
THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO TRIAL. Their
houses and church were burned at
Qua, no shelter was offered them,
no inquiry as to loss or offer OF
reimbursement. They are or
dered to hold no communication
with the natives, no limit of time to
this order, except, in answer to
my direct enquiry, when tran
quality is reserved to this island
which means many years prob
ably.
1.-TWO missionaries asked permits
sion to leave the island, the gov
ernor refused, thus treating them
as prisoners. I have evidence also
of prisoners being threatened with
death if they refused to testify to
the guilt of the missionaries in in
citing to rebellion.
81 consider their (the mission
aries) position as degrading, they
being treated as criminals, and yet
untried.
81 believe it unworthy the Dig
nifty of citizens of the United States
to remain in such a position, and
have therefore recommended them
to withdraw, and await elsewhere
the decision of the question be-
tween Spain and the United States
This they accept and have taken
them to Kusaie.
"They waive no rights OF
claims, they simply retire for the
moment, in the full trust that their
country will see them righted and
returned to their ancient duties
and privileges.
"Finally. The Spanish are cor,
rect in their impression that their
task of subjugating the island to
their rule and their religion is
made more difficult by the many
years teaching of American Pro-
testant missionaries, and they de.
Jude themselves when they imag.
inc that their difficulty is caused
by hostility of the American mis-
sionaries, which is not true"
Thus far Capt. TayIor's report
to his government. Since this re.
port was written there has been
farther fighting in Ponape. A
newly arrived Spanish colonel at
tackled and with heavy loss took a
place called Japalap, the natives
falling back on a breastwork they
had constructed in the mountains;
this was assaulted by the Spaniards
who finally got possession of the
outer works but failed to penetrate
the inner line. These operations
are said to have cost the Spaniards
from three to five hundred men,
while the native loss was trifing,
We shall be curious now to see
the correspondence between Wash
ington and Madrid arising out OF
Capt. Taylor's report.

SPANISH SEIZURE OF THE CAROLINE
ISLANDS.
THE UNITED STATES VS.. SPAIN.

The Caroline Islands extend in
a chain nearly east and west, and,
if the Pelew group be included,
across nearly thirty degrees of
longitude, in from SO to 100 N.
longitude.
1t is universally conceded that
they, or some of them, were dis
covered by Spaniards, though diff
ferent authorities vary by more
than century as to the date.
discovered by Lopez de Villa
lobos in 1913, and named after
Charles v, but NEVER SETTLED BY
THE STANDARDS" says one authority.
"Discovered in the 10Th century,
but NEVER EFFECTIVELY OCCUPIED, I"
says another. "They belong nomin-
ally to Spain, but contain no Span
ish settlements" says a third, and
Keith Johnston's "RoyaI" Atlas,
1877, places the Carolines outside
the Spanish boundary-line which is
drawn around the Philippines and
thence eastward to include the
Mariana or Ladrones, leaving PeIew
and the Carollnes to the south.
So much for Spanish proprietor
ship up to a few years ago, when a
claim made by Germany was sub
mitted to the arbitration of the
Pope, who allowed the claim of
Spain, and Spain then, for the first
time since discovery, became con-
scious of proprietorship, and, to
confirm her position, began to send
vessels and officials from Manila to
constitute an actual occupation.
1t is an axiom in international
law that mere nominal possession,
by priority of discovery of terri
tory, or otherwise, if unattended
by or not followed up by some
positive acts of occupancy must
lapse in course of time. Spain had
taken no notice of, had not occu-
pied these her nominal possessions
r
for three centuries, when, like Por-
tugal in South Africa, the proba-
bility of genuine occupancy and
colonization by another power puts
her on the defensive, and she starts
up in her manger and proclaims
herself the ancient proprietor.
Meanwhile, as far back as 1852,
the American Board of Missions
had peaceably established a mission
at Ponape, one of the easternmost
islands of the group, and thence on
westwards to Kusaie and Ruk,
without arousing any notice Of the
dormant claims of SPAN, until their
re.suscitatlon by the advent on the
scene of the German flag, which
caused Spain to assert these claims,
which she did by establishing a
mission and garrison at Ponape, the
headquarters for SO many years of
tho American mission.
Neither priests nor soldiers were
welcomed by the Ponape-men and
fighting soon began, which the
Spaniards unjustifably and with
out shadow Of proof attributed to
the instigation of the American
missionaries, whose station was
occupied, their property destroyed
and themselves driven from their
old homes, and yet forbidden per-
mission to leave the island.
Whilst this was the state of
affairs, the U. S. S. Alliance, Capt.
Taylor, arrived and began an in
quiry which led to his making q

| for the present.
1t is not essential that you
have a piano in order to derive
a certain amount of pleasure
from the possession of a piano
lamp. 1t is the best and most
comfortable reading lamp we
know of because it can be adj
iusted to any height and you
don't have to bend over when
YOU want to read. It's good
thing for " that tired feeling.
We have what you want and
the price,-well it's not worth
mentioning.
Some weeks ago we told
you something about Filters,
not much, just enough to in
terest you. Now we tell you
more. Everyone knows that
filtered water is healthier and
sweeter than the unfltered and
that a natural means of filter
ing is infinitely better than the
halfdozen chemical contriv-
ances offered you. The filter
we have-the Gate City-is
made of natural stone quar-
ried somewhere in Georgia
and is the healthiest and most
perfect filter on the market,
besides being the cleanest.
Compared with the results
they are also the cheapest.
Ever since the dry weather
began and the water has been
muddy we have kept one at
, our door filled with ice and
water for the benefit of the
public, sort of good Samara-
tin act so to speak, but it paid
us because people saw how
good it was and came in and
bought them. We have them
in sizes from two or three
quarts up to several gallons.
The size governs the price.
Have you read the circular
on Candlesticks which you see
hanging in the tram cars late
ly? No! Well you should,
for they're interesting. We
r only received the Candlesticks
the other day, and as we have
only few of them you must
come soon if you want one.
e The part that holds the can
die is adjustable to any size
: candle, directly under this is
a movable metal cup to catch
the grease. Once the candle
3 is placed in position it need
not be moved because it is al
ways at the right height and
burns until there is nothing
left. The grease is easily
; moved from the cup and your
candlestlck is always bright
F., and clean. We haven't MANY
OF them ; better not be late if
I you want a good thing.
Sometime ago we were
shown a little filter to fit a wa
ter-tap,-a good machine for
the kitchen or bath room
where you don't use the other
filter. You don't want TO cooL
with muddy water do you?
Neither do you want to get in
to a tub of water and come
out a delicate ecru tint. We've
had to do it but we won't any
more, because this little filter
we speak of is just the thing
to remedy the difficulty. They
are a much needed article here
and we are the only people
who have them. Make a note

The New York Business Man May Now
Eat His Lunch In One Minute.
The demand made by the Tribune few
days ago that something be done to solve
the rapid luncheon problem in New York
has called out much discussion and many
plans. 1t is admitted on all sides that the
need for rapid luncheon is secondary only
to the need for rapid transit. And as we
surmised, il is with luncheon as with
transit, people do not waste time over
either from choice - IL is the facilities
which are at fault in both cases. Many
business men have written to the Tribune
during the last few days, saying that they
would not spend three, four, and some
times five minutes over their luncheOns if
they could help it, Our call for a one
minute luncheon for business men has
prominent Broadway business man, widely
known IL financial and mercantile circles:
New York must have the one-minute
luncheon If she expects TO retain her
supremacy among American cities. Ii our
energies had not been Slapped and weak
ened by long luncheons, Chicago would
never have secured the Worlds Fair"
The need for swifter luncheon service
having been established, it remains to be
seen what can lie done by inventors to bring
it about. Suggestions and ideas have not
been wanting Perhaps the most radical
plan IS that proposed by the New York
Piping and Pneumatic Tube Luncheon Com
pany Omitted. Briefly, this company pro-
poses to do away with the lunch counter
entirely, and lay coffee mains and pneuma-
tic pie and sandwich tubes through the
streets and into every Office, the same as
gas or water. The business man sits at his
desk and simply turns a faucet when he
wants cup of coffee, and pulls small lever
when he wants piece of pie. The pie will
be delivered in rubber cylinder, and me-
ter will be attached To the coffee pipes. accu-
