Farmers and Workingmen Frame Tari:.
sfThe farmers and workingmen have
had their way" said one of the franz
ers of the tariff bill, talking to your
correspondent about that measure re-
Gently. People who assume that the
workingmen and women of the United
States are not pleased with the Dinglev
bill show that they known very little
about what has been happening in this
country in the past few weeks and
months. No class of citizens was SO
widely represented and SO fully heard
by individuals or representatives before
the ways and means committee as the
workingmen, unless perhaps it may be
the farmers. Those two classes of the
community not only had their say but
had their way, and the free traders who
are throwing stones at the bill now, in
the attempt to create dissatisfaction
with it among the voters of the coun-
try, show very poor judgment, and are
paying anything but a compliment to
that class of citizens
''Do you find any opposition or pro-
tests against the bill, now that it has
been thorougly digested by the pub
lic?''
"Yes. Solemn protests are being
filed with both committees by the i'm
porters and such other people as the
importers can influence. And that is
all. The importers are against the bill,
for it will cut down their business and
start the factories of this country to
work. AS a result of this they are
fighting it by every process. Each sep
arate interest is working its separate
class of citizens. The tobacco import
ers for instance, have sent out ready
made protests to the manufacturers Of
the country, and in this way are get
ting certain workingmen who have had
an opportunity to personally examine
the situation, to sign these formal pro-
tests It is SO apparent, however, that
these people ars being worked for the
benefit of the importers that the effect
is not appreciable and there is little
prospect that the bill is going to be
materially changed. Of course there
will be minor changes, but the thor
oughly protective features of the bill
for which the workingmen in the man.
ufactories and fields have asked are 60
ing to be retained and even strengthen

TORE UP AN AMERICAN FLAG.
An Outrage by Spanish Soldiers in
Santa Clara.

An Outrage by Spanish Soldiers in
Santa Clara.
New York, April ia Herald dis
patch from Sagua Grande via Key West
says report has just reached there OF
an outrage perpetrated near the town
Of Encircujada, by Spanish troops, who
destroyed the property owned by the
wife of the British vice-consul, Mr..
Harris, of Sagua Grande, and tore up
an American flag which the manager
Of the estate, George Harris. who is an
American citizen, had draped over his
bed.
The estate of Mrs. Harris, called La
Palma, is about two miles from Encir-
crujada. The troops broke open the
doors and removed articles of value.
Finding the flag in the managers bed
room, the soldiers carried it out with
many epithets and tore it into bits.
Being satisfied with their vengeance on
the bit of bunting, in the absence of
its owner, they departed.
The matter was reported to Mr.. Har-
ris on his return, and he promptly laid
it before the British and American
consular officials in Sagua, who will
cause thorough investigation.
1t is said the Spanish assert that
they had seen insurgents leaving the
estate, but this is denied by the mana
GER The American consul at Sagua,
his friends say, will make full report
on the flag incident. He is Mr.. Bar
ker, one of the most vigorous American
representatives on the island.
War of Devastation.
Havana, April 19.-In view of the
approach of the rainy season, Captain
General Weyler has ordered the erec-
tion of an infrmary. on the trocha and
the extension of the military hospitals.
New hospitals will be constructed at
Trinidad, Casilda, Isabella and Sagua.
The captain-general has ordered the
demolition of all houses inside the cul-
,tivated zone. This is on the theory
that the peasants will remain at night
in the blockhouses and remove their
families to the towns. In this way,
says General Weyler, the regulars will
not be exposed to the risk, in case of
insurgent aggression, of shooting
women and children.
Five well-known merchants have
been fined $500 each for issuing frac.
tional scrip without authority.

Two Glasses Who Do Not Prosper.

Two classes of people have failed to
prosper since the election of Mckinley.
One of these classes is composed of sill
yer advocates, the other the trusts.
The election of Mckinley and the re-
lection of the free silver proposition
started similar action by some other ma
tions which had been looked to as sup
porters of the silver theory, and the
friends of free coinage have witnessed
with dismay the transfer of Japan,
Russia and China to the gold standard
column. The trusts have also Jared as
badly. The railroad combinations.
the sugar trust, the Standard oil trust,
and many minor organizations Of this
character have received stunning blows
within the few months since the cleo
tion of 1896, and will suffer still more
when the new tariff law goes into effect
and deprives them of the advantages
which they have. enjoyed under the
Wilson law.

Secretary Sherman Notified of Outbreak
of Hosti1ities.
Washington, April 21.-The Turkish
minister, Mustapha Bey, has COM
municated with Secretary Sherman on
the status of the Turko- Grecian con-
fiict. He officially informed the
America secretary of the termination
of diplomatic relations between Tur-
key and Greece, and the attitude of
offense which Turkey has been COM
PEELED to take by reason of the agrees
sive course of Greece. It was expressly
made known, however, that no declara-
tion of war had been issued. Until
this declaration is made the United
States government is not likely to give
official recognition of the existing state
of affairs. .
Washington, April 21.-The follow
ing official statement has been made at
the state department.: :.
"The department of state has received
"a dispatch from the United States min
lister to Turkey relating to the situation
between that country and Greece and
the Turkish declaration of war; Terrell
states the minister from Greece has
been informed he must leave before
next Wednesday, He is not permitted
to communicate by telegraph with the
Greek government. There are, per-
haps. 40, 900 men subject to Greece in
Turkey. All subjects of Greece are re-
quired to leave Constantinople within
fifteen days.
I "The note of the porte to the foreign
powers disclaims any desire for terri
ktoriaf acquisition. The Greek minister
informs Terrell the Greek government
requires all subjects of Greece of mill
tary age reserved for military duty.
''The Turkish government claims the
regular Greek troops had seized and
were terrifying Analypos, in violation
of an agreement prohibiting it. Hence,
the attack there by Turks on the 18th.
The Turkish troops are scattered along
the border Of Thessaly, and cannot
quickly concentrate for decisive bat
tie. This may enable the Greek army
to fight them in detail ,,

The South Joins Hands With the West
No tariff bill ever passed in congress
received as many Southern votes as did
the one which has just passed the
house. Twenty-Five Republicans. five
Democrats and one Populist, from the
South, supported the Dingley bill in
the house, and the other Populists from
that section declined to vote against it.
Protection in the South has made won-
derful strides in the last few years and
will continue in the same line.

p. q. Carmarinos Suffering From
Brain Trouble.
P. G.. Camarinos, the fruit dealer, Gre
ated quite a sensation on the Sausalito
ferry this morning at about o'clock.
Mr.. Camarinos is suffering from paraly-
sis of the brain and at times is quite
violently insane, says the San Fran
cisco Report of May 6. For several
months he resided at Honolulu in the
hope of regaining his health, and yes
terday he returned to this city on the
steamer Alameda. on the voyage to
port he showed no very violent symp-
toms of insanity. So his brother, d. G..
Camarinos, decided, when the Alameda
locked, to take the sick man to Sau-
salito, which was done last evening.
After a short stay in the city across
the bay the sufferer grew worse. Last
night he was violent and hard to con-
troll Mr. d. G.. Camarinos thought it
best to bring him back to this city this
morning, and left Sa Nfalito with the
invalid on the o'clock boat.
When the ferry boat, the San Ra-
fae1, neared the slips on this side the
sick man became suddenly DESTROYS Of
creating trouble. He fought so desper-
ately with his brother and passengers
who came to his assistance that he had
to be bound with ropes. When the
crowd left the ferry Sergeant Tom Ma
honey was summoned, and the Ser
geant sent for the patrol wagon. When
the wagon arrived D. G.. Camarinos did
not want his brother to go to the hos
pital in the vehicle. A hack was sum-
moned and the patient sent TO a private
sanitarium.

COSTLY FIRE.
Tank of Burning Peerless Pre-
serving Paint, Causes Excitement.

Tank of Burning Peerless Pre-
serving Paint, Causes Excitement.
About 1920 a. m. yesterday dense
volumes of smoke were seen TO rise
from position just mauka and slight
ly TO the rear of the Railroad wharf.
People along the water front were of
the opinion that the bark Ceylon had
taken fire, and great excitement was
caused However, the origin of the
smoke proved to be a long tank filled
with peerless preserving paint, which
had been set fire by accident.
1t seems that the tank had been filled
with 525 gallons of the paint-a mix
ture of asphaltum, pine tar. asbestos
and other ingredients for the purpose
of covering 1900 rails for protection
against the weather. A gang of 10
men had been set to work in the morn
ing, started a fire under the tank and
when the paint had been heated to the
right point, began TO dip the rails, by
means of a derrick, provided with
clips
Four or five rails had been finished
when by an accident. one that was
about 70 be dipped, fell into the hot
mixture. There was a splash, and
part of the contents of the tank, fall
ing into the fire underneath, the whole
mass was soon ignited. The men tried
to dash as much as they could out upon
the ground and thereby save the tank
and what rails were close by, but the
! fire was too hot. Dirt was thrown in
but this had no effect whatever.
About 10:40 the chemical engine, in
charge of Chief Hunt, arrived on car
pushed by a small yard engine. The
chemical was turned into the vat, bu
instead of putting out the fire imme
| diately, seemed only to increase it's in
tensity. However, this was last eff
! fort, and the chemical soon got in its
work.
The loss will amount to something
| like 500. The 525 gallons of paint wa.
worth about the same number of dol
lars; the tank was purchased fol
! $3.50 and several rails in close prox
unity to the fire were badly warped
The fire called out a great crowd
which lined the wharves from the Pa
cific Mail to Sorenson's, and then al
along on King street.

Japanese on the Plains Cannot
Conduct Hotel.
Out on Kinau street, near the base
ball grounds, an enterprising Japanese
is running a lodging house. And he
has a great head for in that neighbor
hood and for blocks around, every one
keeps servants, and the servants pre-
fer rooms away from their mistresses.
An investigation showed that there
were about 40 regular dodgers in the
place and good many transients. The
amount collected from these people,
for the accommodations varied from
60 cents to So per month.
The investigation also showed that
the place had been run as a lodging
house for the past year, and the pro-
prietor had not taken out a license.
Against this latter there was no par
ticular kick from the neighbors, but
they did object to the men and women
bathing in the yard and making eXhi-
billions of themselves. a petition was
gotten up by the property owners,
asking that the owner be not granted a
license to conduct the place. At the
close of the investigation the Interior
Department sent the following answer
to the petition:
Department of the Interior,
Honolulu, II. l., May H. 1897.
Messrs. J. II. Fisher, George Mcleod,
James F. Morgan and Others:
Gentlemen:-I am directed by the
Minister of the Interior TO acknowl-
edge receipt of your petition of this
date. protesting against the issuing of
any license for Chinese and Japanese
lodging houses on Beretania street, be-
tween Keeaumoku and Pensacola
streets, and say that your petition has
been approved, and instruction has
been given that no such license will be
issued for and in that locality.
l have the honor TO be. your obedient
servant. J. A. HASSINGER,
Chief Clerk
Then the Marshal detailed Chester
A. Doyle to make an investigation on
behalf of the Police Department. Mr..
Doyle found the owner. Kawakami
particularly anxious to pay his license
The man was taken to the station
house and locked up. He will have
hearing today. The man stated to Mr.
Doyle that he is the proprietor of
hotel on Maunakea street and that he
started this place on the plains more
than a year ago at the urgent request
of a number of people who work in the
neighbOrhood. To one of the petition
ers he said he knew nothing of the
license law. and so far as the men and
women bathing in the tub in the yard
was concerned he would use his inf1u-
ence with them and get them to stop it.
