San Francisco papers are treat
ing their patrons 10 very nice
story regarding the lease of the
Hawaiian Hotel TO General War
field, manager Of the California
Hotel Of that city. The Chronicle
prints the following regarding it:

tious for the lease OF the RoySl Hs
waiiau Hotel may no, progress -
satisfactorily - the General might
wish, sitter the Hawaiian Government
becomes SdviSei of his plans for the
future management of the caravan
sSry. In his efforts to secure posses
sion Of the hotel General WSrtieii, il
il uOS believed, is backed by Colonel
George MSeisrlsns, the present lessee.
He would like 70 run the Royal HS-
wsiiSu in connection with the Cali
icruis, sud thus lay pipe for sn in-
viuciole monopoly Of the Honolulu
passenger trade. Colonel MscfSrisne
would continue in the active manage
ment Of the Honolulu Hotel, under
General WSrtisli's lease. sud the Gen
erSl Sui the Colonel, by playing -
game OF shuttleeOck with the tourist
travel between California aud the
Islands. would thus deprive the other
san ErauciscO hotels OF sill the HOuO-
lulu business.

Sgsr, Accordingly, when the leSss OF
the big Honolulu hotel approached its

out General WSrtield - the person
who could best obtain 4 renewal or the
Lessee for him, sud negotiations 10 that
