In the frat part of the seventh in
ming umpire Kaia made what appeared
to be very rank decision in declaring
Hart out at second. For this he was
hooted and Missed on all sides. An
appeal was made to Harry Whitney
who, after hearing both sides, over
ruled Kaia'S decision and gave Hart
bis base. Captain Thompson ex-
planned that under certain section Of
the '95 rules the play made the runner
out, and Whitney so declared. at
this point umpire Kaia waved his hat
and clapped his hands shouting,
"Hurrah for our side" plainly dem
onstrating his sympathy with the
UnknOwns. This so enraged several
of the Stars that the game came near
breaking up in row. But for timely
interference, one of the Star players
would have slugged Kaia. While it
was more than evident Kaia showed
prejudice and favored the Unknowns
In some of his decisions, he endeavored
to smooth these over by rendering
equally as partial ones in favor of the
Stars during the remainder of the
play. After the game Kaia was spoken
players regarding his actions as UNI
pire.
1t is to be greatly regretted that any
friction occurred, especially during
the first game. The claim is made
that some of Kaia's decisions were
based on words spoken in Hawaiian
by one OF the Unknown players.
The second game of the series will be
played next Saturday between the
Stars and Kamehamehas.

Antoine Perry, C. s. Bradford acted
in that capacity.
Unknowns won the choice and took
the field. Under the steady work of
Woods the Stars went out in success
sion in the first inning, with a like
result in the second. Miranda scored
for the Unknowns in the first. Hart
was found early in the game and
pounded in every direction, allowing
the Unknowns to pile up four runs in
the second.
In the first half of the third Willie
Wilder and George Angus made first
runs for the Stars, making the score
five to two in favor of the Unknowns,
and giving the Stars renewed encour-
agement.
The Stars failed to score in the
fourth through a close and somewhat
doubtful decision by Kaia against
Sam Woods at second. The umpire's
decision was questioned by Camel
and hissed by the grand stand. A hot
exchange OF words followed and, after
repeated cries from the audience of
"play ball" the game proceeded. In
throwing to first instead OF shutting
pitcher Woods out home, giving the
Unknowns another tally.
Willie Wilder, Chan Wilder and
Lionel Hart scored for the Stars in
the first half of the fifth; Unknowns
going out in successive order.
Both clubs failed to score in the
sixth and seventh innings.
In the beginning of the eight Gan
eel hit to the fence over center for
three bases and came home on a
passed ball by Kalani, tying the score.
The Unknowns caught a goose egg.
This was about the only time through
out the game any interest was man
ifested.
The Stars failed to count in the
ninth, though they had players on
both second and third bases.
A passed ball by Carter gave Pryce
second; Miranda out on fly to Camel,
advancing Pryce to third. Gan Eel
made beautiful running play but had
to leave first base unprotected. Dun
can hit safe for one base, allowing
Pryce to score, Unknowns winning

game for the Stars.
Adolph Behrens and King, the
Stars new battery, will arrive by the
Alameda. They will play in next
Saturdays game.
I. White and A. Duncan, as center
and right fielders for the Unknowns,
played very creditable game. Both
are excellent batsmen.
The back part OF the ground needs
attention. A number of dangerous
holes there should be filled at once
and roller run over the ground.
Percy Lishman, the crack third
baseman, will arrive on Thursday by
the Alameda. He will take his old
position with the Stars and play next
Saturday.

MISSION CHILDREN'S SOCIETY.
Instructive and Historical Papers
Read by Well Known Writers. y
Next Annual Meeting to be Held at Resi-
dence of >. B. AthertOn in June.
Treasurer's Report.

The regular monthly meeting of
the Honolulu Mission Children's
Society was held at the residence
of Professor Theo. Richards, Ka-
mehameha school, Saturday even
ing. Including sixteen members
of Kamehameha Quartette, forty
two were present, making a very
good attendance considering the
inclement weather. The pro-
gramme of the evening was un-
usually interesting and entertain
ing.
The first number was a musical
selection entitled, "God is Love-"
by Kamehameha Glee Club
under the direction of Professor
Richards.
The Male Wreath Committe
presented two papers. The first
was one contributed by Edward
Bailey and read by Mrs. Judge
Frear. Tn this paper the writer
presented personal "reminiscences
of his residence in the Islands dur
ing the reign of Kamehameha I.
Being valuable for its historical
facts, it will be preserved by the
Historical Society.
Rev. Kinneth Duncan read an
instructive work on "The New Old
Testament" He said that while
it was called an old testament, it
was applicable to the needs of the
present time in that it helped to
make up our knowledge of history
and science. Besides this, it
assisted in completing our educa-
ton of the new testament. The
prophecies of the old were cou-
pied in the new, without which our
instruction would not be complete.
Miss Grace Richards sang a
pleasing and beautiful lullaby by
Chadwick.
The treasurer's statement showed
some 5000 needed to complete the
appropriation of $225O for the
years contributions. Circulars
have been sent out stating the
needs of the society in this regard.
Answers are expected very soon.
1t is hoped by the society that
friends who have not received no.
tice will lend helping hand. In
response to the general call for
help, the collection for the evening
amounted to $28, twice the usual
cum received.
Nathan Scofeld and L. Dumont
Timmons were made eligible TO
membership on payment Of dues.
The next and annual meeting Of
the society will be held at the res
idence of ]. B. Atherton in June.
At that time Rev. o. p. Emerson
will present the usual paper, and
the officers the annual reports. The
election of officers for the ensuing
year will also take place then.
A meeting of the board of man
ayers will be held at the home of
Rev. o. G. Gulick, May 18th, at
which time the estimated appropri-
alton for the coming year will be
made out. Names to be presented
at the annual meeting as can
didates for Office will be considered
at this meeting.

The increased distance of the pitcher
makes it more easy for batters to hit
the ball, giving more fielding and
preventing in a degree so much effec-
tive battery work.

large as might have been expected,
yet good crowd was present. The
absence of music tended to make the
| occasion less interesting than last
! season.
The Stars appeared in new and
natty uniforms of brown shirts and
! stockings, with white pants and caps,
large white star adorning the center
of the shirt. The club is captained by
J. CAMEL, an experienced ball player
from the States. He fully demon
strated his ability to play the game
Saturday, showing as well extra
ordinary good management of team
work. CAMEL worked hard during
the game, and with several others had
no errors charged against him.
The Unknown club is made up
mostly of last seasons Hawaiis,
James Thompson playing second and
managing the team. They have
adopted the old uniform of the Ha-
waits, with the change of the letter L
in black on white shirts. Woods was
in the box for the Unknowns. Chas.
Aiwohi, the regular catcher, having
received an injury by being hit in the
eye while umpiring the junior game
during Saturday morning, Tom Pryce
was substituted. Chris Willis held
down his old position at first and
played an exceptionally good game
throughout Woods was in fine form
and pitched strong ball, holding the
Stars down to goose eggs until the
third inning.
Owing to the non-arrival of the new
battery for the Stars, Lionel Hart and
Harry Wilder played pitcher and
catcher. Considering short practice
Hart done we'll in the box. Harry
Wilder caught well and fully sustained
his previous good record.
Following was the makeup of the
teams with positions:

The first game of the series is gener-
ally a slow one and made up of costly
errors. In this respect Saturdays
game was no exception; the contest
being combination of errors, requir-
ing hours and 10 minutes to COM
plete it.
Under '95 rules the pitchers box is
composed of rubber plate 6 by "a
inches, distant 603 feet-ten feet
farther than last year. Once his foot
is placed upon the rubber, the pitcher
cannot throw to bases. A foul tip if |

CLERKS TO BE DISCHARGED.
Economy Practiced in We1ls-FargO' S
Auditing Department.

-
A wave of economy has rolled over the
office of Wells, Fargo & Co. within the last
few days and besides considerable reduc
ton in salaries large number of men will
be discharged at the end of the present
month.
1t is the auditing department which is
most affected, which is under the control
of James S. Bunnell. Within the last few
days Mr.. Bunnell has notified seventeen of
his clerks. many of them old hands, that
their services are no longer required.
Some of the clerks thus notified say that
they asked for explanations from Mr..
Bunnell and that he informed them that
he could get all the capable men he wanted
for $50 to $40 dollars a week. and that there
was no reason why higher salaries should
be paid.
tits also stated that the clerks, who were
formerly paid when they worked over
time at night, which they frequently do,
would receive no compensation for this
extra W ork hereafter
This cut in wages is the third one
within year. In April, 1894, some of the
officials were cut, and in the succeeding
month there was a general reduction.
Dissatisfaction at the existing state of af-
fairs is said to- exist among the clerks
Those who must leave on the 1st of April
have, of course, lost all interest in the mat
ter.

are lying idle and profitless for no other
reason than that the owner is unwilling to
maintain health resort and yet holds the
property at a figure which prohibits its
purchase. The springs property is owned
by Mrs Leland Stanford. About a year
ago, it is said, AdoIph Sutro looked at the
place with view of purchasing, but the
price asked was entirely too much.
The people of Calistoga look forward to
the day when these hot springs will make
their town justly famous. The CALLS cor
respondent dipped water from these differ
ent springs, the steam from which can be
seen hundreds of yards away, and found it
so hot that the glass vas uncomfortable in
the fingers. One spring was actually boil
ing. There is no need of a second Del
Monte Hotel here. A good hotel, pretty
cottages and modern lighthouses would
make of the place a valued health resort
for those of modest means, who cannot
afford the expensive trips to fashionable
springs. 1t really doesn't seem just to the
people of this part of the State that these
bountiful remedial gifts of nature should
go to waste.
Mayor Sutro of San Francisco owns
country place about seven miles beyond
CaIistoga. Arcadia, as it is called, consists
of 1900 acres, rather on the perpendicular,

spain Replies to GreShGna's Demands
Regarding American Vesseis.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE State
Department has received dispatch from
Minister Taylor at Madrid. The Spanish
Government has given assurance to the
United States that there will be no more
repetition of such offenses as the firing
upon the mail steamer Alliance.
The reply of the Spanish Government is
couched in courteous and temperate
phrases and expressed the determination
OF Spain to avoid further cause of COM
plant on the part of the American
Government. As to the attempted deten-
ton OF the Alliance the Spanish Minister of
Foreign Affairs says he is as yet without
information and adds that as soon as he
shall have a report from the captain
general from Cuba concerning that incident
a reply will be made to the demand made
III Secretary Gresham's telegram.
While the officials of the State Depart
ment are unwilling to say anything what
ever concerning the contents of Minister
Taylor's cablegram it is believed the fore
going is fairly accurate Interpretation of
the dispatch.
1t will be noted that the Spanish Gov
eminent promptly complied with one of
the most important of Secretary Gresh-
ANS demands, which was for immediate
assurances that the war-vessels patrolling
Cuban waters should not give further
offense in the manner complained of in
the Alliance affair. AS to the other de-
mand made by Secretary Gresham, that
the Spanish Government should promptly
express its regrets for the detention of the
Alliance, Mr.. Taylor responds, stating the
willingness of the Spanish Government to
respond thereto in due time should the
facts on investigation prove to be in ac-
cordance with the representations made
by the United States

OTHER REPORTS FALSE.
Six Thousand Insurgents Are
Under Arms Ready to
Fight for Rights.
SANTIAGO rs TO BE TAKEN
the Island Owing to the
Trouble.

KEY WEST, Fla, March 1.-THE first
clear and trustworthy statement of the
condition of affairs in the eastern end of
Cuba is brought by a passenger on the
steamer Macotte.
81 have travelled throughout the noun
famous district constantly since the
trouble began" he said, ''and matters are
now in a much worse condition than at
the beginning. The fighting started in a
desultory and scattered fashion, but the
forces gradually became more crystalIized
and there are now fully 5000 insurgents
under arms. They are in dozen or more
detachments, but are giving the Govern
ment no end of trouble. In many cases
the Spanish troops have been beaten back
with heavy loss. The most deplorable
feature of the warfare is the pillaging and
| burning. The insurgents have gained con-
fdence since the beginning of the trouble,
and matters in the eastern district are in
almost as bad condition as during the war
of 1868.
"New leaders are springing up, and by
force of their intellect and ability they
have induced the insurgents not to hold off
! longer for the arrival of leaders. The gen.
eral opinion in Santiago is that if the insur-
| gents can hold out until summer the yell
low fever will help them greatly.
"It is said that both Rabi and Masso are
confident of taking Santiago before Octo-
Der. The Spanish troops are guarding
every road and nobody is allowed to pass
| without giving the strictest account OF
himself. 1t is as much as mans life is
worth in Santiago to talk in favor of the
! Cubans or tell the truth. Several persons
| have been shot on account of this.
Instances where the Spaniards were de-
feated have been published as Government
victories. Four Spanish cruisers were in
the harbor at Santiago one week ago; now
there are but two guarding the eastern
coast and one on the southern"
The passenger also said the revolt would
kill business in Cuba for two years. Money
is already scarce and prices are high. A
panic is feared. 1t seems to be the gem
eral impression among the Spaniards that
the United States feels bitterly toward the
Spanish Government and would like moth
| ing better than an excuse to seize the
| island, hence their hatred of the Ameri-
cans.
Nothing official has been received of the
report of the Spanish cruiser firing on the
Alliance. 1t is understood that the Span
| ish officials in Havana claim the Alliance
was within three miles of the shore and
that the cruiser had right to sink her on
| her refusal TO halt

A PICTURESQUE PLACE.
One of the Most HeaIthful
Towns in the State of
California.
BIG VINEYARDS AND WINERIES
Beautiful Homes Dot the Mountain
side and Valleys of This Nook
of Napa County.

CALISTOGA, March 17-At the extreme
end of the beautiful fertile valley OF Napa,
in the shadow of the stately Mount st.
Helena, nestles Calistoga There are few
spots IN all California more picturesque.
The Immediate country surrounding the
town is network of pleasant, graveled
driveways, and the broad highway leading
down the valley to st. Helena and Napa is
good, old-fashioned, down-east turnpike.
This road, lined with pretty homes, is
never allowed to become dusty. The Coun-
~ Supervisors of Napa County have intel
ligently voted money for road improve
ments and for the sprinkling of same dur
ing the long dry season.
Touching the corporate limits of Calls
toga there are many well-kept vineyards,
and wineries are numerous in the imme-
date vicinity. The country home, vine
yard and winery of A. L. Tubbs, the we'll
known rope manufacturer of San Fran
cisco, is beautiful place. The great stone
wine-cellar, built after the style of the old
Rhine castles and covered with ivy, is a
rare, cool place for the great oak casks of
wine it contains. Mr.. Tubbs has given
up twenty-five or thirty acres Immediately
surrounding the mouse 10 park purposes
and it is the most beautiful spot imagin-
able, with its winding shrub and flower
lined driveways. To these grounds, at
"Hillcrest," Mr.. Tubs allows the public
free access.
The vineyards are being cultivated Wig
oroasly. Hope has come again to the
grape-growers and winemakers since their
association has been formed. They feel
sure the era Of ridiculously low prices is
over, and are now looking forward to
making at least decent living. If this
winemakers' corporation had not come
vlticulturists would have torn up their
vines and planted prune. olive, almond
and cherry trees, all of which flourish in
the soil and climate of Napa Valley.
Within few miles of Calistoga there are
number of productive quicksilver mines,
