Miss Charles Hal an Interesting Expe-
rience in Cuba.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Miss Cecilia
Charles arrived on the steamer Wash
ington from Havana, from whence she
escaped with some difficulty, as the au-
thorities desired to detain her. Miss
Charles is somewhat known to fame as
a writer on Spanish American topics
and all ardent sympathizer with the
Cuban insurrection. She went to Ha-
vana about two months ago with the
object Of studying the situation in the
eastern part of the island.
She carried with her letters of intro
ductiOn to some of the best families III
Cuba and accordingly had a most COR
dial reception and was treated with
great courtesy. After spending two
weeks in Havana she took trip to the
country to see the famous trocha erected
to check the movement of the insur-
gents, where she met General Bayas,
who has just been reported killed, and
with whom she had a very interesting
interview. On her return to the city
(Havana) Miss Charles spent day in
the Cuban prison. There she visited
the Competitor prisoners and encoun-
tered various interesting experiences.
AS result of her activity, the authori-
ties became suspicious, and an order
was issued for her detention as an
emissary of the revolutionary party in
the United States. Miss Charles sue
ceeded in evading the order of arrest by
escaping from the rear of house in
the suburbs of Havana, walking many
miles in a blazing sun without food or
drink for "a hours, not having had time
to change her clothing when she sailed.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 6.-State Auditor
Dunn has served notice on the mana
gers of state institutions that they must
reduce expenses. He has sent a letter
to the head Of every charitable and COR
rectional institution, giving warning
that unless expenses are reduced he will
refuse to audit the bills. The tax levy
is less than in former years and the
valuation Of property has been reduced
throughout the state. Mr.. Dunn
thinks with the reduced cost of all
products the expenses Of state institu-
tions might easily be brought within
the amount of the tax levy.

MISCHIEYOUS MISREPRESENT-
ALTON.

In the last issue of the Hilo
Tribune, the editor gives vent to
the'most childish, evil minded and
we might well say dastardly
attack upon the Government Off
Gals, that it has been our misfor-
tune to read in any publication OF
this country that makes any pre-
tention of being fair-minded or
blessed with even an occasional
scintillation of average common
sense. Whose opinion, besides his
own, he pretends to voice has not
been discovered. We note with
pleasure the prompt reputation
made by the directors of the COM
pany owning the publication, Had
they not made the statement
which we publish in another. col
umn. they might well be consid-
cred candidates for colony of an
archists. 1t is quite apparent that
the editor is afflicted with chronic
billiousness which his employers
have discovered too late to remedy.
The editors dissertation on the ISL
and tour of the band, and his re-
marks on the treatment of the
Hawaiians are not only ridiculous,
but disgrace to the columns of
any paper representing a higher
order of humanity than hoodlums
and street-corner orators. He has
thrown off his sleeps clothing
donned when the lengthy salutatory
was promulgated, and now comes
out in the true colors of a narrow
minded mischief-maker If the
people of Hilo have any use for
such writings they have degener-
ated to a condition which their
worst enemy would not have the
temerity to suggest. This country
ought to be too small to allow such
men to continue their work of
spreading broadcast such fragrant
and insinuating misrepresenta-
tions.

THAT UBIQUITOUS WAR CLOUD.

The European war cloud is ubi-
quitous, if nothing more. Having
gathered fairly serious magnitude
in consequence of the first outbreak
in Armenia, it assumed a new
phase in consequence of supposed
Russian aggression in the Orient.
Later came the Venezuelan ques-
ton, then the Transvaal, and now,
after having been blown hither and
thither about the two hemispheres
by the vigorous assertions of ma
tional leaders, it settles again over
the old stamping ground. Russia's
Oriental greed seems forgotten,
England and the United States are
talking with less vehemence, Presi-
dent Kruger is quietly working
out his own salvation, and the
Sultan of Turkey comes to the
front. The manner in which
these changes have come about,
the readiness of the leading
contestants to forget the harsh
words spoken when it is found
that danger is threatened from an
other quarter and a strong ally
will be useful, the sudden re-
membrance of the tie that
binds" the developments growing
out of the revolution of the wheels
within wheels, all go to make up
most interesting study.
Whether it is true or not that
Russia and Turkey have entered
into a secret contract for mutual
protection, it is quite apparent
that Russia has not been idle
while England, Germany and the
United States were making their
martial demonstrations Great
Britian's sudden change of heart
in the Venezuelan affair, the asser-
ton of cousinly friendship and the
almost universal support which
the British press gives the scheme
for American interference in Ar
menia is not without it's signifi-
canoe. This change, however, is
not due to any new found love
for the United States, but rather
on account of the desire to

THE OPENING will be on
the 18th and then you will
have an opportunity to see
elegant goods in an elegant
store and at low prices. We
do not mean low prices for
inferior goods, but for as fine
articles as were ever shown
| in Honolulu.
The impression prevails
that because our store in the
Won Holt block is to be the
finest in the city that pur-
chasers must pay high prices
in order that we may keep
up appearances. A greater
mistake was never made;
good stores may mean high
prices in some places, but
not with us.
The cOnVenienCeS in the
new store are perfect, even
to the smallest details. Not
a point has been overlooked
in fitting up the various de-
partments SO that purchasers
may select goods without
getting weary.
The store will be open and
the goods marked in plain
figures on February IS. On
that day and every other day
shoppers will be as welcome
as buyers. We want shop
perS, because. they learn the
difference between our prices
and those charged in the
smaller establishments.
We will show the largest
aSSortmentof goods ever seen |
in Honolulu, and it will COM
prise Crockery, Glassware
of every description, Filters,
Lamps, Cutlery, Platedware,
Woodenware and Refrigera-
tors, Hardware, Agateware,
TinWare, Stoves and Ranges
and a large assortment of the
latest novelties in household
We propose in the conduct
of this business to introduce
new ideas, new methods and
new goods. We will show
you that first-class articles
may be imported here and
sold by us at lower prices
than is asked by Chinese
dealers on Nuuanu street.
Goods delivered daily to
all parts of the city including
Waikiki.
And we want your trade.

THE only surprising feature about
ex-Minister Thurston's statement
of his dealings with the late Secre-
tary Gresham is, that he should
have kept the. facts secret as long
as he has. This statement leaves
no further question of the attempt
to cast discredit not only upon Mr..
Thurston, but upon the officials of
the Provisional Government and
later upon the Republic. Personal
spite increased in it's virulence by
the fact that the aggressive party
was baked at nearly every turn is
evident throughout the whole affair.
It may be said that owing to the
death of Secretary Gresham, Mr..
Thurston would have done better
to have kept quiet. This is idle
talk. Mr.. Thurston was placed in
a position where a less polite man
would have forgotten the require
ments of diplomatic etiquette. He
held his place until the proper
time for him to make public his
side of the question. AS a private
citizen he would be doing himself
and his country an injustice by
Withholding facts which should go
down in history to show the true
official character of the men who
have figured in events of vital in
terest to this nation.

prevent Russian aggression. Ii
the United States could be used
as the cats paw to draw the chest
nuts away from Russia, it would
be so much gained for Great
Britain.
Division of the Turkish Empire
has been discussed since the days
of Peter the Great and the discus
sion will doubtless continue to
bear as little fruit as it has in the
past. Neither Russia nor Great
Britain will submit peaceably to a
division that will jeopardize their
individual interests in the Mediter-
ranean. An Anglo-Saxon alliance
for the suppression of the Armen-
ian horrors is a beautiful theory,
but so long as national jealousy,
and the fear of any alliance with
foreign powers retains its present
hold upon the American mind, it
is highly probable that the United
States will allow Russia and Great
Britain to settle their differences
without Intervention. Although it
will be the result of territorial
greed, it is not unreasonable to
look to heartless Russia alone to
bring the Sultan to terms and re-
store comparative peace within his
sadly misgoverned empire.

Prospect for Crop Of Medium Proportions Only =
Percentage Below 3D.
A generally poor condition offruit through
out tho country is announced In the Agrcul-

p,es declined in condition from II to Che
during June. Prospects Cor excellent crops
still continue in New England, New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Iowa, and con-
ditions are a'so very fair in Nebraska ana
several OF the mountain States. In other
parts of the country the condition Of the crop
is far below the average, being lowest In The
Atlantic Coast States, where percentages are
below So In the Ohio Valley and certain OF
the Western States not yet referred to tho
figures are somewhat higher, but nowhere
above CT, which is the percentage returned
for Illinois and Missouri
The peach crop promises to be OF medium
proportions. During the past month fall
of129 points has taken place, leaving the
general average now BIS Good crops are
expected in Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Mich
igan, Illinois, Indiana, kentucky. Missouri
and Kansas. The crop has suffered consid-
erably in California, as is shown by condi-
ton Of rs, which is lower than any July con-
dition In that State since 1890. In New Jer-
sey the fruit is falling badly. The Connecti-
