HENRY DIMOND DEAD.
An Old Resident Passes Away
After a Lingering Illness.

Henry Dimond, a very old resi-
dent, died at an early hour yester-
day morning. He had been ailing
for long time. The funeral took
place in the afternoon from the
residence of Henry Waterhouse.
The deceased was born at Fair
field, Conn, and was over Sc years
of age at the time Of his death. He
came to this country in June, 1885,
to take charge of the Missions
bindery. He remained in the SER
vice of the Mission until about
1850 when he and E. o. Hall en-
gagged in the general merchandise
business under the firm name of
Hall & Dimond.
He leaves two sons, General w.
II. Dimond of San Francisco, a
member of the firm of Williams,
Dimond & Co., and f. III. Dimond,
and two daughters, Mrs. Henry
Waterhouse and Mrs. DR.. Stangen-
valid, both of whom live in this
city. w. w. Dimond, of Water
houses, was his grandson.

SOME SMART JAPANESE.
They Work a Scheme to Deceive
the Custom House.

A number of Japanese laborers
arrived on the British steamer
Bentala who are not contract men.
An effort will be made to land
them, but it is understood that the
custom house authorities may
cause them to be returned to Japan
as matters do not appear to be
regular in their case. It is claimed
that their fares were not paid at the
other end, but were to be collected
after they effected a landing here.
This was done, so it is claimed, to
allow the men the use of the money
in order to satisfy the custom house
people that they possessed $50, the
amount required by the new immi-
grafton law.
That some of the men did not
pay for their tickets is proved In
private letter received yesterday.
The writer requested a business
man in town to secure work for the
men after they had landed and had
paid $35, the amount charged for
transportation. On this account
the men may have some difficulty
in landing.

MORE MEN FOR FIELD WORK.
The New immigration Company
Sends 300 Contract LabOrers.
They Come to Thomas Evans, the
Many More Can be Had

There are three hundred Japan
csc on board of the British steamer
Bentala, now in the harbor, who
were sent here by a new immigra-
ton company, of which Thomas
Evans is the local representative.
This is the first lot of men sent
by the new company. They should
have arrived during last November
but the war and difficulty in OBJ
tanning a steamer caused the
delay.
Mr.. Evans received word yester-
day that in the future no trouble
would be experienced in obtaining
agricultural laborers from Japan.
The President of the Yokohama
Specie Bank is at the head of the
company which Mr.. Evans repre-
sents. They were compelled to put
up a bond of $4,000 before the
men were allowed to depart. This
is done to assure the Japanese
Government that the laborers' con-
tracts will be fulfilled to the letter.
The amount covers 1000 men,
and when that number are shipped
the bond will have to be increased
to $4,000.
The men who arrived yesterday
are all contract laborers and will
be distributed among the various
plantations, as soon as the quaran-
tine regulations are complied with.
They will receive $3.50 month
during the existence of the con-
tract. This is low rate formerly
the men were paid $15. It is I'M
derstood that the planters pay
their fare over, which amounts to
about $50 a head. The fares of
the women are paid by the immi-
grafton company.

ON PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
Work Will be Begun at Once
$4,000 for School Houses.

Superintendent Rowell of the
public works department has lot
of work before him by virtue of the
decision of the Government to be-
gin at once upon public improve
ments which it has for come time
had under consideration.
There will be $4,000 expended
in new schoolhouses to be con-
structed in different sections of the
islands. Work will also be imme-
diately begun on the new fire en-
CINE house at the corner of Bere-
tania and Fort streets, and the one
at Hilo. New wash houses are to
be built in Honolulu, and a new
building-the women's ward-at
the insane asylum. Extensive re-
pairs at the custom house are also
to be made.
