GOING DIRECT TO GOTHAM,
Much of the Honolulu Sugar
Diverted From This
Port.
This Will Cause a Considerable
Loss to Many of the Coast
Vessels.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 19.-Con-
sul-General Mills at Honolulu, in a COM
munication to the State Department, says:
'Sugar is now being shipped direct to New
York from Honolulu. New arrangements
have been made by the Western Sugar Re-
fning Company for this purpose.
at is estimated that the new deal will
divert at least $4,000 tons of sugar from the
port Of San Francisco to New York during
the present year. This will be the cause of
considerable loss to the lumber and coal
laden vessels which come to Honolulu
from the Pacific Coast and have heretofore
generally secured a cargo of sugar for San
Francisco.
MANY vessels left here this year in bal
last, and others had to wait considerable
length of time for load. Railroads in
the United States will also lose consider
able in freights, as most of the sugar now
being carried around Cape Horn was con-
veyed across the continent OF America by
rail. The first vessel leaving Honolulu for
New York carrying sugar for the Western
Company was the Kenilworth, and she
cleared on the 5th of March and had
aboard 1889 tons, invoiced at $3.50, 900.
The Charger cleared on March 25, carry
ing 2918 tons, invoiced at S149, 175, and the
T. F. Cakes is in the harbor preparing to
receive cargo"

UNDERvALUED THE GOODS.
Scandal Caused in New York
by a Dishonest Customs
Employe.
One Firm, Assisted by Him, De-
frauded the Government for
Years.

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 19.-The dis
closure of a great case of differentiation
at the custom-house has caused the collec-
tor of the port, James Kilbreth, much an
noyance. The amount of the under
valuation is said TO be 100000. O. L..
Sypher, an importer OF antique furniture,
has been importing goods at a greatly
undervalued rate.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the customs authorities through dis
charged employee of the firm, named L. III.
Todd. For years he was head salesman of
the firm known as o. L. Sypher & Co. The
firm, he declared, were continually i'm
porting loving cups, trays, and, in fact, all
kinds of silver, as old silver, and paying
the duty on old silver, which is four shil-
lings six pence an ounce. The goods are
said to have been worth ten times more
than the valuation.
The case has been under investigation
by Deputy Phelps, who said last night:
"Three years ago when Sypher & Co.
suspended special agents thought they had
been engaged in illegal practices, but they
carried away and secreted all their docu-
ments in cellar in Mount Vernon. The
customs authorities investigated the matter
but it was never completed and the officials
were very much annoyed"
Colonel Phelps thinks efforts have been
made to stop the investigation. The official
on whom suspicion is cast is said to be
Eugene Honeywell. He is said to have
been in collision with the firm. He has
been in the department fifteen years.

CAUGHT BY STRATEGY.
Surrounded by Armed Officers,
They Gracefully Yield
to Arrest.
FENDER NOW IN A TURMOIL.
But the Squabble Over Reservation
Lands May Be Settled
In Court.

OMAHA, NEBR.. April 19.-Jim Black
hawk and John White, the two Indians
lied by the Sheriff, will have a hearing
tomorrow. They are charged with resist
ing an officer. Warrants were issued to-
day for the arrest of Henry French, captain
of the Indian police, James Yellowbank,
George Thunder, James Carmony, Amos
Snow and George R. Brown, a carpenter.
All of these men are Winnebago Indians,
and assisted the two Indians now in jail
at the time Sheriff Mullin was arrested.
When the Sheriff and posse arrived at
the house on the reservation where the n
dian police were hiding they dismounted,
and stretching out SO as to form half circle
moved toward the shack, which was sup
posed to contain at least dozen Indians,
all armed with Winchesters. Arriving at
the house two men covered each of the
doors and there was man for each of the
four windows. When all was ready the
Sheriff pounded on the door, and the In
dams awoke to find themselves prisoners.
A large Sheriff's posse has been organ
lied, subject to duty on call. 1t is not
probable that anything further will be
done on either side until the Federal
Courts hearing Monday.
w. E. PEBBLES, representing Thurston
County citizens, went to Lincoln to-day
and begged the Attorney General to come
to Fender and force some respect for the
civil authorities. The Attorney-General
refused on the. theory that the Federal
Government is not in the fight. PEBBLES,
who is probably more familiar with the
so ha
other man, said to-day that some of the
whites believe that Captain Beck's course
is actuated by prejudice. They believe the
Flournoy Company has been one of the
greatest factors that Thurston County has
had in settling the large tracts OF Indian
land which has hitherto been used for graz
ing purposes.
The Winnebagoes Iare divided in their
views on the matter. Captain Beck has
told them to stay with him and he would
secure them 81 per acre which they had
leased to the Flournoy Company. Some
of them, of course, desire the increased
rental and side in with the captain. Until
the advent of Captain Beck in 1898 there
was no dissatisfaction expressed by the
Indians with their contracts with the COM
pany.
The Flournoy Company's agent to-day
said:
II do not think it will be necessary for
us, Marshal White or his deputies to go to
the agency; there is naturally considerable
excitement in Fender, but 1 do not think
there will be any trouble. The Indian
police were acting contrary to the statutes
of the State, and were in the act OF evicting
the settlers and it was to arrest them that
Sheriff Mullin started for the reservation"
He also said that the action now pending
in the United States courts would settle
the entire question.

OFFER OF PARDON.

General Marines Asks the Cuban In
surgents to Lay Dozen Their arms.
HAVANA, CUBA, April 10. = Captain
General Martinez de Campos has issued
from Santiago de Cuba a proclamation
offering pardon to all insurgents with the
exception of the leaders, who will lay
down their arms and surrender. He has
made preparation to Immediately pursue
the members of the bands who refuse to
come in under the proclamation, and the
warfare against them will be waged vigor-
ously.
1t is stated here that some of the insur-
gent bands have taken to torturing help
less residents of the country districts who
have incurred their displeasure. at Blan-
quisal, near Manzanillo, a Mexican named
Miguel Laureda was surprised at night by
Maceo's band. He was cruelty tortured
and horribly mutilated, after which he
was tied to tree where he was left for
buzZards to eat.

Manuel Ritos and an old man named
Vicalna, who fought against the rebels in

WILLIAM HARE's STORY.
Saw the Abandoned Vessel
Heading Directly for
the Shore.
SHE WAS RAPIDLY SINKING.
At First He Was Afraid to Tell of
What He Had Seen for Fear
OF Censure.

BENTON HARBOR, MICH, April 49,
The mystery of the steamer Chicora, which
has been missing since January last with
thirteen men on board of her, has probably
been cleared away.
William Hare, who lives on the lake
near Saugatuck, came in to-day and re-
ports that during the evening of January
% he was on his way home from Sauga-
tuck and about half way between Saugatuck
and South Haven he looked around and
saw boat headed for the shore.
1t was the Chicora, he is sure.
Her forward part was well out of the
water. Her stern was down and looked to
be sinking. He saw no signs of life nor
heard any distress signals.
Afterwards he went back and the boat
was then lying on the bottom with the
bow up and the ice was pounding her
heavily.
He paid no more attention to the ship,
as he thought her loss would be known to
her owners and everybody else. When he
found that the Chicora was gone, and that
nobody knew where she had been lost, he
was afraid to tell what he saw in fear of
public censure.
The place where Hare claims to have
seen the boat is in the same locality where
others claim to have seen large vessel
during the search for the Chicora.

MADE A RASH WAGER.
Hand, but Hopes to Com
plete 1t.

Cecil ]. Stewart, young New Zealander.
is in this city, and finds himself in a rather
peculiar position. He has job on hand
which, under present circumstances, it will
be well-nigh impossible for him to CON-
plete. The circumstances of his case, as
related by Mr.. Stewart himself, are these:
He was in Auckland, N. H., last Novem.
Der. While in that city he wagered the
sum of S100 against EGO that he would
come to America to get out book he had
written on the Zambesi and travels in
Africa before the lapse of twelve months;
that he would start from New Zealand
without any cash, and that on his arrival
in America he would only use such cash as
he was able to earn. The wager was taken
up by Charles Trehearn of Cornwall, Eng
land.
On reaching Wellington Mr.. Stewart i'm
mediately saw a friend of his, who was to
arrange matters for him in regard to his
passage. The same day, however, he was
run over in the street and his wrist and
ankle were broken, so that he was delayed
in the hospital for two and half months.
On his recovery he again saw the person
with whom he made the wager and was
allowed a small concession, that of being
allowed to pay his passage to Sydney.
Through the influence of Attorney Gen
eral Ward of the Legislature he was given
a position on the Monowai, bound for
America. His duties were to consist of
assisting in the mailrcom and making
himself generally useful. In the mean
time, however, the Monowai was taken off
the route and Mr.. Stewart found himself
as badly off as ever. By streak of for
tune he was allowed to work his passage
on another steamer and he has at last
reached America, penniless but hopeful.
Mr.. Stewart said last night that he is
quite confident of being able to publish his
book of African travel if he can get to Bos-
ton. He is fairly well acquainted in this
city and has endeavered to earn an honest
penny on the newspapers here.

Atcarded the Fight A fter Eighteen Terrific
Rounds Hud Been Fought.

BOSTON, MASS, April ia thousand
persons saw three excellent boxing con-
tests at the Farragut Club tonight. The
principal event was the contest for the
middle-weight championship of Massa-
chusetts, between Dick O'Brien of Lewis
ton, Maine, and Bobby Dobbs of Boston.
1t was scheduled for twenty-five rounds,
but after eighteen terrific rounds, in which
O'Brien hoored Dobbs a dozen times, the
referee awarded the contest to O'Brien.
The contest between Young Starlight
of Australia and "Muldoon's Picaninny"
was one of the star events of the night, and
when it ended in the ninth round the de-
cision was in favor of the "picaninny. !"
Both stripped at 1873 pounds and for five
rounds honors were about evenly divided.
In the ninth round Starlight deliber-
ately punched his head into the pick
aninny's stomach, nearly knocking
the latter out. Starlight was foored
repeatedly and at the end Of the
ninth round chung to his opponents
neck to save himself from being knocked
out. The referee awarded the contest to
the "Pickaninny," and Starlight was Kissed
as he left the ring.

THOSE DIsPENsARY LAWS.
Another Battle Is Promised In South
Carolina Courts.


COLUMBIA, S. c., April 19.-Judge Golf
of the United States Circuit Court at
Clarksburg, w. Va, has granted an order
restraining the Supervisor of Registration
of Richland County, S. c., from exercising
the functions of his Office and requiring
him to show cause before him in Columbia
on May Is why the injunction should not
be made permanent. The order is far
reaching, and brings to a square test all
the registration laws of South Carolina
since 1882, Involving also the constitutional
convention act.
The bill alleges that all those acts based
in any way upon the laws of 1882 are in
violation of the State and Federal consti-
tutions. There is quite stir about it to-
day. Douglass and O'Bear, South Carolina
attorneys located in Washington, are con-
Quoting the case in behalf of the Repub-
ican State Committee. DR.. Pope and j.
G. F. Caldwell have gone to Washington
to bring test suit before the United States
Supreme Court in its original jurisdiction
in another form. Mr.. Caldwell, it is under
stood, will also apply for an injunction
against the dispensary authorities, bring
ing to final test the constitutionality of
the dispensary law.

HIS APPEAL rs DENIED.
Fredericks, the Slayer of Cashier Her
rick, Must Be Sentenced
Again.

The Supreme Court has refused to enter
tain the appeal of William Fredericks.
who was convicted of the murder of Bank
Cashier Herrick. A motion of his counsel
for rehearing was denied yesterday, and
as result Fredericks must be brought
here from San Quentin for a resentence of
hanging.
Fredericks was sentenced to be executed
July IL last. He killed Cashier Herrick in
April 1894, and was convicted the follow
ing month. The Superior Court refused
rehearing, and his attorney made the usual
motion for new trial, which being denied
by that tribunal, advantage was taken of a
right of appeal to the Supreme Court. A
final decision was rendered by that court
while in session at Los Angeles day before
Yesterday.
