The Reply to Minister Barrios.
On. Y. SUM-


The serious significance of Lord Kim
bcrleys letter to Mr.. Barrios so far as
our country is concerned, is to be found
less in the amount of the indemnity il
exacts than in the peremptory method
which it adopts, and in the uncertainty
that exists as to the steps which Great
Britain proposes to take in case of re-
fusal.
The attitude OF England is one that
might be assumed by party to con-
troversy who enjoyed also the privilege of
being the final judge, and who thereupon
proceeded to pronounce Judgment in his
own favor. Lord Kimberley recites
briefly the evidence brought forward by
Nicaragua to justify her course in expel
ling Mr.. Hatch and Others, as instigators
of Chief Clarences rebellion at Bluefields
but he dismisses each item of testimony
in fashion that may by no means satisfy
Nicaragua, though it does not quite take
the abrupt form of Objection not sus-
tained'' or "Motion overruled. - The
Judgment thercupon pronounced is that
Nicaragua shall pay, to begin with, $75,
600 for having arrested, imprisoned. and
expelled British subjects; shall cancel the
DEGREES of exile issued against them shall
pay, within three months of their award,
any damages assessed by a commission
of three persons for losses of property sus-
tanned by those subjects, finally, shall pay
$4,000 as indemnity for the treatment of
two other British subjects and the seizure
of a British schooner.
The provision of a joint commission
has resemblance of fairness, as a custom
airy appliance in disputed claims. But it
will be observed that the real matter of
Importance, namely, whether Nicaragua
was justified In her action at all, is not
submitted to commission or to arbitra-
ton. That is decided by Great Britain
against her at the outset. No other mat
tiers relating to the treaty of Managua or
the recent proceedings in the Mosquito
reserve can be discussed until the in
demnity is disposed of; and 'to this de-
termination Her Majesty's government in
tends to adhere. The basis of the COM
missions work is thus fixed, and all it has
to do Is to assess additional damages in
Great Britains favor. with no offset of
losses or expenses caused to Nicaragua by
any alleged participation of British sui
jects in the rebellion. The main fine o.
s1o,0 900 and the abrogation of the decreo
of exile are ready decided upon by Great
Britain, and are not to be submitted to a
commission or to arbitration The ques-
ton Is whether Great Britain would sue
coed In such form of nd justment with a
great power like Germany or France.

In recent letter to the manufact-

1T may be pleasure to you to know
the high esteem in which Chamber
lain's medicines are held by the PEG
pie OF your own state, where they
must be best known. An aunt of
mine, who resides at Dexter, Iowa,
was about to visit me a few years
since, and before leaving home wrote
me, asking if they were sold here,
stating if they were not she would
bring quantity with her, as she did
not like to be without them" The
medicines referred to are Chamber.

cures of colds and Group; Chamber
Isin's Pain Balm, for rheumatism.
lame back, pains in the side and
chest; and Chamberlain's Cholera.
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy, for

have been in constant use in Iowa
for almost quarter of a century.

are articles of great worth and merit.
and unequaled by any other. They
are for, sale here, by all dealers.

PRECA UTIONS AT LAHAINA.
Another Meeting of Ciiizens-Ob
iect TO Laudine Chinese.

LAHAINA MAUI, Sept. 5.-Wed-
nesday morning, August 2Sth, call
was circulated for a citizens meeting
to be held in the Lahaina court house
at O'Clock in the evening. Judge
Kahaulelio was in the chair. In the
absence of Mr.. Nahaolelua, John
Richardson was chosen interpreter.
The chairman stated that the meeting
was called for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the news regarding the chol.
era. A letter from w. o. Smith to
DIR. Davidson was read by the secre-
tary. 1t stated that there had been
six definite cases of cholera in Homo
lulu, five proving fatal; but that there
had not been new case for three
days at the time the letter was writ
ten. The secretary also read letter
from Cecil Brown to F. II. Hayselden
stating that one condition on which
the Mokolii had been allowed to go
out was that there was to be no
mingliDg of the crew with the people
on shore. 1t was noted in the discus
sion that no orders to that effect had
been received at Lahaina and that the
condition had not been observed here.
The secretary then read a letter from
Sheriff Andrews to Deputy-Sheriff
Baldwin, saying that the action OF
DR.. Dawson in refusing to allow the
freight of the Kaala to be landed at
Lahaina had met with general ap-
proval.
Mr.. Hayselden reported that the
services of the committee appointed at
the last meeting had been accepted by
the aUants Of tho BOARD of Hoalfh
and that they had been at work. Mr..
Baldwin spoke appreciatively of the
work done by the committee. AS it
was generally conceded that the work
to be done was entirely too great for
six men to accomplish, fourteen more
were appointed to work under the di-
rection of DR.. Dawson. The meeting
then adjourned subject to the call of
the chair.
Considerable indignation is felt at
Lahaina at the manner in which the
Board of Health seems to have trifled
with the matter of quarantine. Pro
visions and feed are brought from Ma
alaea in whale boats, because the Hall
is commanded not to carry freight be-
tween ports here lest the disease be
spread by the sailors, who left Homo
lulu week ago. Yet Cinnamon are
landed at Kahului by sailors who left
Honolulu much later. This seems to
need an explanation. If the Board
had given the people the benefit of the
doubt and kept the Cinnamon sway
till the contagion was beyond doubt,
they would have avoided number of
remarks.

ried a permit from the Board OF
Health to land passengers and freight,
there could be no danger in putting
the same ashore, but no arguments
could prevail against the stolidlty
of Williams whose only reply to all
arguments was that nobody nor moth
ing was to be allowed to land and on
learning that the tourists were on the
wharf he gave an emphatic order that
they be ordered into the boat and If
resistance was offered that force
should be used to compel them to
comply.
Some rather emphatic language
was used during the conversation on
the wire, such as ''d-n the Board
of Health, we can run this island
ourselves and will do it," and it was
plainly developed that Hilo has
reached a stage of first-class panic.
Amongst other things that were said
was that il the Hall landed freight,
Kau would be quarantined.
If this farce of quarantining a
healthy vessel is kept up, we in kau
shall soon be in a state OF famine,
there is about one weeks supply OF
provisions on hand and when that is
gone there is nothing but starvation
to face US.
1t is said that the steamer Hawaii
is chartered by Hilo planters to go
look for rice round the islands, but
there is little comfort in this as 1T Is
not likely she can gather enough to
serve all the plantations.
There are many rumors around as
to what the Hilo people have threat
ened to do under certain circum-
stances, such as, if any attempt was
made to land in Hilo from any vessel
coming from Honolulu armed resist
ance would be made and that IL it had
been known that the Belgic China
men were to be landed by the Kilauea
Hou at the different plantations, that
an army of Hiloites would have been
detailed to resist such landing. Taken
altogether it can be said that Hilo
people are in a very dangerous state
Of panic in which they are not capa-
BILE of thinking of anybody's rights
but their own, in fact they seem not
capable of thinking at all but are
wholly carried away by the impulse
Of their panic stricken nerves.
