NUUANU STREAM.

The work that the Government is
doing at the mouth of the Nuuanu
stream is really good. Land, which
was mere quay mise, is being re-
claimed and will form excellent build
ing ground for the future. Attacks
have been made upon the Superin-
tendent of Public Works because of his
action here, but it only requires an
impartial person to visit the spot and
see what is being done. The work has
necessitated taking off a part of the
St. Louis College grounds, but the
Government has given a solid ''quid
pro quo for it. Everyone, who knew
the district before this reform was un-
dertaken. would be astonished at the
progress made From a worthless and
pestilent spot the city is going to have
a piece of land that will be eagerly bid
for whenever it comes into the market
The change in the part of the town
alluded to will probably have whole
some moral effect upon the Kikihale,
Cape Horn and Japan Sea districts.
AS a rule when district improves it
has it's effect upon the surrounding dis
tricts. 1t is not always the case, as wit
ness the juxta position of wealth and
filth upon California street in San
Francisco There you pass palaces and
shortly after are cheek by jowl with
the slums of Chinatown and the dis
reputable jaunts of Dupont street.
1t seems just supposition, however,
that the new departure at the mouth
of Nuuanu stream will have better
effect than the great houses on Mob
Hill. The new land will have attrac-
tions for men and women who want
homes. People who want homes want
good surroundings for the children
who are to and who will people those
homes. If such a class of people take
ND their abode in that district the sly
groggery and other evil places will fit
The pure and the impure will live to-
gether, but when it comes to question
of the children of the pure, the impure
very soon find that they have to take
their walking tickets and seek other
pastures. AS fact the work at the
mouth of the Nuuanu stream is likely
TO work a moral regeneration in that
district.

Manila aggregate 10000 and they are
allowed $4,000 for expenses. Then there
are four Bishops with a salary Of $4,000
a year. In fact the state outlay for the
clerics amounted to about s725,O 600.
Is it any wonder that with such
drains upon the treasury the Spanish
Colonies cannot get along.
The mere statement of financial eX-
penditure is however only half the
story Every governor, every briga-
der, every lieutenant and every bishop,
priest and deacon hopes to make, and
probably does make very consider
able addition to his income ION the
outside" Countries governed under
such conditions must be in a chronic
state of revolt.
Think of the advantages that an
Anglo Saxon civilization prevents as
compared with that imported by the
Latin races. Under the AnglO-SaXon
there is careful administration of pub
lie funds, the expenses of government
are kept down as low as they possibly
can secure the proper performance of
duty. There is no state support of any
religious body and there is the greatest
freedom to the subject.
Anyone thinking over the subject
will come to the conclusion that the
Anglo-Saxon is a born colonizer while
it is just as clear that the Latin is not.
What would have been the fate of
these Islands had their civilization
come from Spain instead from the
United States? They would be as far
behind the world as Manila is today,
a curiosity to visit and a spot to be
avoided ever after. And yet our city
has not even a century's life while Ma
Mia dates frsm 1871. The Anglo-SaXon
shows himself as indeed ahead.

SPANISH COLONIES.

There has been considerable atten-
ton drawn to the PHILIPPINE Islands
during the last few weeks in conse-
quence of a revolt that has occurred
there, which, according to latest adj
vices, has been successfully put down.
Outside of a few who make it their
business to keep posted, hardly anyone
knows anything of the PHILIPPINE ISL
ands. Here we know that the Manila
cigars come from them, but beyond
that we know practically no more than
the Whit of smoke that goes curling
from our lips.
The archipelago numbers some six
hundred islands, but only eleven of
them are of primary geographical i'm
portance. The area of the group is cal
cuIated SO, 500 square miles. The popula-
ton is about $500 900, of which Spani-
ards and part Spaniards number hardly
three per cent.
The administration of the PHILIPPINE
Islands throws a strong light upon the
reasons for the Cuban revolt. The
Spanish colonial government is grossly
corrupt, and in expenditure it is fright
fully extravagant. Beyond this it is a
thoroughly. priest ridden country and
no local governor can hope to make
any success in the administration of
his district unless he is hand and glove
with the priest in charge. In point of
fact the condition of the PHILIPPINE ISL
ands is somewhat similar to that of the
South American Republics. The people,
where semi-civilized, are intensely BIZ
goted while outside of the pale of civil
ization are many tribes who are pagan
and who, in any revolt, are willing to
throw their weight in with the revolt
ing party.
The condition of the finances is al
ways woeful. Taking few of the latest
statements the deficit was in one year
81. 4O4, III. in the next $1,S4O, 1880.
and again 81, 229, 4O492 These are Off
cial figures.
But can one wonder that things
should be as they are when one looks
at the salaries paid. The Governor
General receives a salary of $4,000 a
year. Chief of the General Direction
OF Civil Administration gets $4,000 a
year, and his staff gobbles S43,7OS He
also gets $500 for travelling expenses.
There is also a council of three mem
bers, each of whom get $4,000 a year.
Among the Islands are sixty-nine gov
ernorships, ranging in value from $4,000
per annum to $4,000.
Then the military come in for their
share. commencing from a brigadier
and staff at $4,000 year, and running
down to a cavalry sub-lieutenants at
s145O, which is really modest.
The Church whacks in nobly with an
Archbishop at $4,000. The salaries of

MR. EDITOR-In tonight's Bulletin
appears an interview with Dan McKen-

was signed and sworn to as true by Nc
Kenzie, and both complaints and war
rants were read by and explained to
Mckenzie before he signed them and
swore to the truth of their contents.
The search warrant was served, but not
the warrant of arrest. When Mrs. LeVey

The party were in a vacant lot near
Delaware street, standing about an object
lying on the ground. He went over to
them and found young woman lying on
the ground. She was suffering and was
about to become a mother.
One of the men, who were all young,
said they had come from Contra Costa
County with the young woman and were
on their way to Oakland to secure assist
ance, and asked what to do under the cir
cumstances.
The doctor advised them to bring their
patient into the Receiving Hospital in
Oakland, which they promised to do. That
was the last he saw of them, and no one
else has been found who has heard of the
affair. Circumstances give color to the
supposition that there was a considerable

THE BARRON CASE AGAIN
San Francisco Protestant Orphan
Asylum Mixes in the
Suit.
Chief Justice Beatty of the Supreme
Bench Issues a Writ on the
San Jose Court.

Chief Justice Beatty of the Supreme Court
yesterday issued an order commanding
Judges Reynolds and Lorigan of the Santa
Clara County Superior Court to forward to
the Supreme Court full certified tran
script of the doings in the Barron will
case.
The order is the result of petition of
the San Francisco Protestant Orphan
ASYLUM asking for a writ of review of
the famous case. The petitioner says that
IL was not made party to the original
contest of the will of Edward Barron
instituted by George Barron and was
never cited in the case until May rs,
1896, when a citation which Is said TO
be illegal was served upon it. There
fore the orphan asylum prays that
writ OF review of the case be issued and
that pending the hearing of the applica-
ton the court direct thatall proceedings in
the matter of the petition of George Bar
ron to revoke the will Of Edward Barron,
so far as the San Francisco Protestant
Orphan Asylum is concerned, be stayed,
and particularly that no default be entered
against the petitioner for failure to answer
the citation issued May 26 by the Santa
Clara County court.
1t is further petitiened that a writ of re-
view be issued to Judges Reynolds and
Lorigan, commanding them to certify to
the Supreme Court full transcript OF the
proceedings in the George Barron contest,
and that when the filing is made an order
be issued setting aside the order of the
Santa Clara court directing the citation Of
May 26.
Again, it is desired that George Barron's
petition for the revocation of Edward Bar
ron's will, so far as the petitioner is con-
cerned, be dismissed.
The San Francisco. Orphan Asylum is a
legatee in the Barron will in the sum OF
$4,000.

FOUND IN THE BAY.
Mysterious Death OF Henry b. Baldwin
Some Time During Last
Night.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 1.-THE body
of Henry B. Baldwin of 9OS Seventh
avenue was found partially imbedded in
the mud near the eastern end of the First
street railroad bridge, East Oakland, this
morning by Albert Larsen of 1918 Eleventh
avenue. From all appearances the body
had been in the water but short time.
There were no shoes on his feet, nor did
he have on an overshirt, which leads to
the supposition that he had hurriedly
arisen from bed and neglected to dress
himself fully. From the position in which
the body was found it was possible for the
man to have jumped or fallen from the
railroad trestle. There were no marks of
violence to support belief that he was
struck by train.
The body was not identified until this
evening. He conducted a coalyard at
Tenth and Market streets, but there is no
explanation offered as to how he got into
the bay.
