THE HEATHER RACED.
BUT ALL THE SAME WAIAMAU
WAS ACQUITTED.
AlaPai's Effort to Get Rid Of the Pastor
of Kaumakapili Church Proves
Abortive.

The Oahu Evangelical Association
continued its session to-day at the Kau-
makapili church, Rev S. Timoteo and
Rev. J. NJ. Ezera, native pastors, act.
ing as Moderator and Scribe.
The chief interest Of the meeting
.centered upon the effort Of Alapai, the
leader Of the heather and royalist
faction in the church, and a lay dele.
gate to the answeration, Of the pastor,
Rev. A. Waiamau, on various trumped.
up charges. Alapai's real grievance
was, Of course, the recent attempt on
the part Of Mr. Waiamau to purge Kau-
makapili of its sorcerers and pagans of
which Alapai is the master spirit.
The accused pastor addressed the
association this morning upon the
trouble he had been having with the
heather element and was followed by
Rev. c. NJ Hyde, chairman of the
committee which had investigated Ala
pals charges. Mr. Hyde reported, that
the case against Mr.. Waiamau was not
sustained, and on motion he was ac.
quilted.
This result is a triumph Of the Christ
ian party in Kaumakapili not only over
Alapai and his friends but over the
palace gang which has been trying for
some years to gain the church to its
side and use it in politics.
The Association, in spite of Alapais
protest, discontinued the title of Rever-
end borne by S. Paaluhi and J. Niau,
convicted of heathenism and gambling.

COMING INTO LINE.
Native Leaders Willing to Support An
nexation for the Suffrage.

hSNdtlOH lOI Ine OuHIaBe,
The native political leaders are pre-
pairing to pull themselves out of the
hole they have been put into by the
scheming of foreign politicians, who
work the wires behind the various
anti.annexation leagues now extant.
The average native has been guilty
of doing some thinking for himself, in
spite of the influence of his haole
friends; and the result has been that
the good judgment and independence
of character of the native Hawaiians,
are coming to the front.
Matters have been Canvassed thor
oughly by good many of leading Ha-
waiians, and a marked reaction has
already begun in the rank and file OF
the different native parties. The ma
tives allege they have learned the de.
ception regarding the voting franchise
which was being imposed upon them
as fact.
1t is understood that this deception
had been almost the sole cause of the
Hawaiian support which has thus far
been given the exQueen's cause. The
native leaders declare their followers
are now anxious and willing to support
annexation, and that they will drop the
eNQueen's cause, which they find to be
daily growing more unpopular among
the people.
The proposition is to rally the native
people to the support Of annexation,
with the proviso that they are to be
granted equal rights with American cit
liens.
1t is further proposed, by the native
Hawaiian leaders, to petition Commits
sioner Blount to use his influence to
secure the admission of Hawaii into the
American Union as a State.
r. w, Wilcox is a prime mover In
this movement a meeting was organize
which to held last night.
The Annexation Club has received
letter from a native named Pulaa or
Hawaii saying that very few there are
opposed to the annexation movement
A similar letter comes from Kaua
and Maui. The good work is making
excellent progress at the latter point

How the Stolen Schwartz Dollars Were
Recovered.

Recovered.
Marshal Hitchcock began an investi-
cation Of the Schwanck robbery yester-
day afternoon, and during the evening
a Portuguese woman named Teresa Ma
chado who was formerly employed at
SChwanck's house, was arrested
Marshal Hitchcock learned enough
during the afternoon to convince him
the woman had stolen the money, and
at 4:3o p. m. officers Juen and Schlem-
mer were detailed to work up the case.
The officers proceeded at once to
Teresa Michado's house on Fort street,
above the Chinese church, which was
thoroughly searched, but nothing was
found. The detectives then left the
premises, but placed a policeman on
watch in front of the house The assist.
anCe of two native boys from the neigh.
borhood was secured, who watched the
actions of the woman as they played in
the yard.
Shortly after the detectives had left
the boys saw her come out of the
house and, after crossing the yard, 60
under another dwelling situated within
the enclosure. Their suspicious were
aroused and they informed the police
man on guard in front. He returned
with the boys and following the woman
under the house began search, which
resulted in finding a bag containing
$500 in coin.
The woman was arrested and taken,
with the money, to the station house
where she is now confined, not being
allowed to converse with anyone except
the Marshal.
AT the first search Of her house the
officers found a small sum in a purse
under the pillow of the bed, which was
secured later. The amount of money
stolen was $3.50, of which $6o7 has
been recovered, leaving $233 missing
Marshal Hitchcock states he be
lieveS he is on the track of a man who
has the $233, and expresses the opinion
that he will be arrested in a day Of
two. The woman Machado has beer
under the eye of the police for long
time and has bad reputation. She i!

Captain Juen states that the money
was doubtles saken during the woman'
visit to the store in the morning

first made it was noticed the thief haC

BURNED CANE FIELD.
A SERIOUS LOSS TO THE MA.
KAWELI PLANTATION.
Two Men Thought to Have Been In
cinerated-Over $4,000 Worth
of Sugar Goes up in
Smoke

The steamer Iwalani brings news
from Kauai of a disastrous fire in the
upper cane field of the Maxwell plant.
alton, which has destroyed between los
and ITO acres of cane.
The fire broke out last Tuesday after.
noon near o'clock and burned for over
two hours and half 1t was started by
a spark from a Baldwin locomotive in
the field above the mill, which covers
the point of land extending to the
beach.
The fire burned very rapidly as the
cane leaves were as dry as straw, and
the dense clouds of smoke which arose
could be seen for many miles along the
coast. Large relays of men from the
neighboring fields were engaged in
fighting the fire, but their efforts were
useless and its ravages were only stay
ed when the flames reached the ocean
limits of the plantation.
AS soon as the fire was over it was
discovered that two men were missing
who had been engaged in fighting it.
One is thought to be a water tender al
the Maxwell Mill, named Taylor and
the other a Japanese laborer, whose
name is unknown.
During the whole of Tuesday night
over one hundred men we're kept in
the burned field with lanterns search
ing for the remains of the missing
laborers, but up to hour of the Iwalan
sailing nothing further had been
learned.
Maxwell plantation has about 2,ooc
acres of growing cane, estimated a
about $4,000 tons of sugar, and the
management at the Maxwell Mill
reports that the loss from the amoun
burned will reach the neighborhood o
1000 tons of sugar. A portion of this
will be saved, as the burned cane viii
be rushed to the Eleele, Wamea, ant
Maxwell mills and ground as rapidly
as possible before it sours, which gen
orally takes place within a week.
The net loss will probably reach
600 tons of sugar valued at little
over $4,000.

An immense crowd daily attend the
Borden trial at Falls River, Mass.
While the examination of a witness
was going on, the prosecution sprung a
surprise that caused the heavy, dull
featured defendant, Lizzie Borden to
grow ashy white. 1t was a handker-
chief, black and dirty and bali destroyed.
1t looked a. if an attempt had been made
to burn it. The examination of the
officer developed the fact that the hand
kerchief was found lying little way
from Mrs. Borden's body, and that il
was covered with blood. When this
fact was brought out the prisoner looked
as il she was about to collapse. On the
other hand q point for the defense was
made that no blood stains were found
on any dresses as claimed by the prose-
cution, The court then adjourned.
| A sensation in connection with the
trial is Assistant Marshal Fleets story
regarding the AK found in the Borden
house, supposed to have been used in
the Borden murders. For many weeks
stories about the Ratchet and axes have
been published, but during the long ter
months that have passed he has acrupu
