among all influential inhabitants, in
Guiding those of native birth, and it
will probably not be so very many years
before the native population as a whole
will grow to feel thoroughly reconciled
to the change, and swear allegiance TO
the Government, whereby they can Sc
cure their franchises as citizens, and all
will work together for the advancement
of the rich and beautiful little corner
of the tropics.
Before the present Government as
sumed the control of affairs the march
OF public improvements was not exact
ly visible to the naked eye. That debt
of 100000 is but fiea-bite compared
to the wealth Of the country. Taxes are
now but l per cent on low assessment
valuation of property, and this 1 per
cent is the only tax-it covers all eX
penses of the Government, local and
general, and it is due July 1 each year.
Tourist travel is increasing rapidly.
The Islands have become long since
world famous as a health resort, and
strangers flock to us now in great num-
berS. The climate continues at the same
old stand, the mercury lowering in the
neighborhood of 80 degrees the year
round l found it at 104 when reached
San Francisco, and three days later
that city was enveloped in chilly fog,
something we don't know much about
at the Islands.
''The past season has been particular
ly prosperous, the sugar planters real
izing a moderate profit by reason of the
present reciprocity treaty with this
country. The crop of 1895-96 amounted
to 200, 900 tons in round numbers. 1t is
now about off. Some 65, 900 tons went to
New York-this was the poorer grade
chiefy-and the balance was shipped
to San Francisco. The sugar crop six
teen years ago was $4,000 tons, and it
was then thought all available land was
under cultivation, but the output has
I;een increasing every year. Next sea-
sons crop will be apt to reach 250,000
tons. Of course, like grain here, the
crop depends upon the weather, but ia
vOrable weather is the usual thing out
there.
''The Island coffee industry is begin
ming to make very considerable show
ing. The coffee comes from the KOna
district on the south side of the Island
of Hawaii. This is the dry district of
the Islands, and the coffee is grown on
the uplands. The Kona coffee, as it is
beginning to be known all over the
world, is superior to almost any other
variety, and brings now cents more
than any other, 1 am told, in the San
Francisco markets.
Referring to the rapidly increasing
trade, in which he is inter-
ested, Captain Godfrey continued:
There are nineteen steamers now
engaged in this trade, and three more
are being built, two for our company
and one for the Wilder Steamship Com
pany. These two companies, which
handle the traffic between the Islands
and about their shores, are distinct
concerns and are operated independent
ly, although the stock is chiefly owned

land Oregonian of Aug. 21. He is presi-
dent of the Inter-Island Steam Naviga-
ton Company, and is one of the most
prominent business men of the Islands,
where he has resided for some eighteen
years. He is an old time ship master,
and for years before locating at the ISL
ands was captain on the line of vessels
plying between San Francisco and Ho-
nolulu. In leaving this connection he
took the first vessel to the Islands to en-
gage in the traffic for the company of
which he is now president. He married
at the Islands years ago, and has con-
siderable family. His wife and children
accompanied him as far as San Fran
cisco, where they are now awaiting his
return. Captain Godfrey is here en-
route to the Sound with Captain w. H.
Hall, who is building a new steamer
for the Inter-Island Company's fleet.
This is fine vessel of 800 tons register
and is designed for speed Of II knots,
with cabin accommodations for 40 pas
sengers. 1t is the ninth boat Captain
Hall has built for this company, and it

At the meeting of the Woman's
Board Tuesday afternoon, memorial
papers concerning the life of the late
Mrs. Juliette NJ. Cooke were read by
Mrs. NJ. S. Rice, Miss Nj. A. Chamber
lain and Mrs. L. B. Coan. The meet
ing was large one and a deep inter
est was taken in the loving tributes
paid Mother Cooke who during her
days of active life Iabored early and
late to spread Christian truths among
the Hawaiian people and whose coun-
sells were sought by those who in later
years took up the work. The papers
of Miss Chamberlain and Mrs. Rice
are given below. These with Mrs.
Coan's Tribute In Memory" will be
published in the annual report of the
Woman's Board:
In order to more completely under
stand this period of Mother Cookies
life, let us imagine ourselves living in
the 40's of this century, as the years
from 1912 to 1849. Honolulu is small,
struggling town, most thickly settled
towards the sea coast, whose only street
of any width is King street. and that
runs out into the wild, unsettled coun-
try at each end. On the east the Mis-
sion premises and on the west the un-
bridged Nuuanu stream terminates any
appearance of regular town life. Nu-
uanu Valley lies in it's primitive love-
Illness of streams, woods and kalo
patches, some of the latter extending
quite far down into what is now busy
Fort street. A slender bride path wind
ing up to the Pali is the only indication
of what is now Nuuanu avenue. The
grass huts of the Hawaiians are thick
ly strewn on the "kuleanas" reserved
among the kalo patches, and the only
sign of foreign inhabitants is an occa-
sional spot fenced in, with perhaps
small lumber built box of a cottage,
placed as an initiative on such spots of
land as have been purchased by DR..
Judd, Mr.. E. o. Hall and Mr.. II. Di-
mond. In the town the only buildings
of any pretension are the two-storied
coral-stone houses of the chiefs, which
seem like mansions in the midst of the
low adobe thatched-roofed houses or
all-grass huts. On the water front are
some wooden buildings, one or two sto-
ried, where the few foreign merchants
and ship chambers do business by the

by the same persons, so there is no
competition.
Returning again to the political af-
fairs of the Islands, Captain Godfrey
touched with some sarcasm upon the
sensational accounts of occurrences as
written up by the special correspond
ents Of the San Francisco press at Ho-
nolulu, and printed under big scare
heads by their respective papers.
I'VE have become practically accus-
toned" remarked the captain, 'to look
ing for Hawaiian news in the Frisco
papers, which reach us with the return
of each steamer; but the correspond
ents have usually become so confirmed
in the habit of building up mountains
of fancy from molehills of fact, that we
always take up a Frisco paper with a
smile of anticipation

HORRORS OF SPANISH PRISON.

Americans of Competitors Crew I'm
Terrible Condition.
HAVANA, August % (via Jackson
vile 23).-The crew of the Competitor
and other American prisoners confined
in the Spanish fortress here are being
badly cared for. Soup and soggy po-
tatoes, their only food, is supplied to
them twice a day by the military au-
thorities. All the prisoners are sadly
emaciated and to-day are mere skele
tons. With their CHASTITY features and
sunken, CLASSY eyes, they despairingly
look out on their infrequent visitors
from their damp, dark, foul-smelling,
coffin-like cells through iron-barred
Jail doors in mute appeal.
A Spanish sergeant who visited Ca
banas yesterday said to-day that one
of the Competitors's men could not
speak above a whisper, and that others
are suffering from dysentery in choleric
form. They told the sergeant that they
had lost all hope of the Washington
Government obtaining their release,
and had consequently addressed, as
last resort, an appeal to the Queen
Regent Maria Christina, for mercy.
