THE SECRETARY DENIES
WHITE MEN WILL BE EMPLOYED
AT SPRECKELSVILL.
Two Men Reinstated Recently-News-
paper Comment on the Recent Epi-
sode at the Big Plantation.

When c. \. Spreckels was in Homo
lulu last week he did not give the full
est details regarding the discharge of
the white men on the Spreckelsville
plantation on Maui. He confirmed
the report that number of men who
were at the head of the different de-
partments, had been relieved, but in
sisted that Asiatics were not to take
their places.
But, nevertheless. according to reli-
able information coming from Maui
citizens, Japanese and Chinese have
been installed in many of these posi-
tions. Information has gone abroad
that this big plantation has supplanted
the labor of the white man with that
of the Asiatc and comments are being
made by the press on the matter.
Good news came on the Rio de Jane
iro. Secretary j. II. Sandford, acting
under instructions of the Hawaiian
Commercial and Sugar Company, has
inserted notices touching on the situa-
ton in each of the San Francisco
dailies, of which the following is taken
from the Bulletin:
referring to statement which APP
peared in the papers this morning, to
the effect that all the white men had
been discharged from our plantation
at Spreckelsville, and their places
filled by Chinese and Japanese, we beg
to state that this statement is obvious
ly incorrect. All discharges made
were for cause. We have received in
structions from Mr.. c. \. Spreckels to
engage white men here to work on our
plantation on the island of Maui, to
fill vacancies caused by the dismissals.
Yours respectfully,
HAWAIIAN COMMERCIAL AND ST.
GAR COMPANY.
j. II. DANFORD, Secretary.
1t would now appear that Mr..
Spreckels has temporarily employed
Asatics until white men could be Sc
cured from the Coast. By the Claudine
the news came that Messrs. Horner
and Britton, employed on the planta-
ton under the Center regime, had
been given good positions on the plan
tation.
The San Francisco Chronicle, in
commenting on affairs at Spreckels-
vile, says:
"The news of the wholesale dis
charge of white overseers, bosses and
mechanics on the big Spreckels plan
tation on Maui and the appointment
of Chinese and japanese to fill their
places shows that the movement in
favor of coolie labor is spreading in
Hawaii. Coming at this time, when
there is so much excitement over the
influx of Asiatics, these changes will
be sure to create trouble in Honolulu.

Rheumatism,
oh the Pain!

The aches and pains of Rheumatism,
become constant companion to all who
are victims of this disabling disease.
Much suffering could be avoided if the
first warning pains of Rheumatism were
needed and the proper treatment at once
taken. But the people generally are
not acquainted with the cause of the
disease, though thousands know its tor
lures. Those who use liniments and
ointments cannot understand why they
grow worse each winter, and find them
selves gradually becoming unable to get
around as they once could; yet they
know that their trouble came on at first
a. little aches and pains, which hardly
attracted their attention.
Everybody should know more about
rheumatism; they should know that il
Is peculiar condition of the blood upon
which all the 1iniments in the world
can have no effect whatever. The
best blood remedy is needed-one which
is able to go to the very seat of the
disease, and force it out. Swift's Specific

The thriving town of Midway, Mass, has

gestion, loss of memory and the keenest of
rheumatic pains arising from a life of ambi-

in the late war, and later as U. S. mail carrier.
A representative of this paper called on

room behind it is being used for some
purpose, entrance is not gained from
here. See what pains have been taken
to hide the work. The whole wall has
been newly whitewashed. If that had
not been done, the new mason-work
would be glaringly perceptible. Let us
go into the house cellar and have a
look at the dividing wall there"
1t needed but glance to see that this
wall had not been tempered with. The
whitewash was old, and there was no
spot where it had been renewed.
II have already examined the out
side place." the old lawyer remarked,
as we assembled the stairway.
"That was not whitewashed, and, if
remember rightly, the stones used
looked old and worn like the rest of the
foundation" said.
Eyes; the stones used in both the
doorways were old ones. But they are
of different kind of stone," he re-
marked, with shrewd smile.
Different kind? What significance
| would that haye?"
"All the stone quarried about here is

limestone. You will find the founda-
tons and walls under your house are
built with this kind. If any other kind
was used it would have to be brought
from distance. Sandstone was used
for the two doorways." aesh
"And was therefore brought from a
distance?" asked.
"Perhaps not in this case"
"But you said there is nothing but
limestone quarried about here" I sug-
gested. *
"And that is true. The stones used
in the doorways had been used before,
for they are old and weatherbeaten.
Do you remember a small stone build
ing up at the mountain, which years
ago was used as schoolhouse my
lawyer asked.
"Oh, yes! It was known as the
Mountain school," I replied.
