CHARGES AGAINST POSTOFFICE
QUITE FALSE.
Interviews With Minister Damon and
Deputy Postmaster General-Cap-
tain Ross Serious Complaint.

Minister of Finance Damon today
denied that he was investigating the
workings of the Honolulu postothce to
ascertain whether or not. the mails
were being tampered with. That
such thing was true is preposterous
and the Minister takes no stock in
statements to the contrary, made by
certain parties.
A few days ago Captain Ross ap-
preached Minister Damon and eNhib-
tied letter dispatched from Wash
ington City. Captain Ross stated the
letter had been delivered to him
through the postoflice, opened. Upon
investigation Minister Damon discov-
cred that the letter had never been
sealed and so informed Captain Ross.
The Minister pointed to the mucilage
which had not even been dampened,
proving beyond all doubt that the
epistle had travelled from Washing
ton to Honolulu unsealed.
Assistant Postmaster w. o. Atwa-
ter today made "A strong denial that
the mails were being tampered with
The employees have entirely too mucl,
work to look after to be trifiing with

STRONG FOR ANNEXATION THE SPRECKELS MANSION
PREPARATIONS TO REOPEN THE
BIG HOUSE.
Painters and Carpenters Already at
Work-Speculation Rife as to the
Probable Occupant.

The magnificent Spreckels mansion
on Punahou street, built by the guam
dam sugar king when he was at the
height of his glory as permanent
residence. but long since bolted and
boarded up, and relegated to "A mere
barracks for servants, is to be occupl-
ed again. BY whom it is to be occupi-
ed. and just when, no one seems To
know. but il is known that orders
have come from the Coast to thor
oughly renovate the house. sparing
neither pains nor expense. to give IT
some of it's old time splendor.
Rumor has it that Claus Spreckels
himself is to again take up his res
idence in his old home, and remain in
Honolulu through the winter. During
the coming session of the Legislature
much business will he transacted that
will effect his interests in the Islands
materially. ard his presence here and
personal attention to the matter may
be very necessary. 1t is said too that
his health is such that a change of
air would be beneficial. and there are
not few who believe that once a per-
son has lived in the Paradise of the
Pacific. he cannot be satisfied TO live
anywhere else on the globe
Some time ago there was talk of
the Spreckels mansion being sold,
but it seems to have been idle rumor.
At any rate the orders for repairs
come from Spreckels' agents here. c.
Sterling has been employed to attend
to the painting and carpenter work.
The building is not only to be painted
outside and in. but all the old paint
inside is to be burned off. Expense
seems to be no object. As the house
has been boarded up and only under
the care of servants during the past
! three years a large amount of repair
ing and renovating will be necessary
to make it habitable.
Future developments will be await
ed with interest by those who remem-
Der the old time splendor of the big
white house on Punahou street.

A DESPERATE FIGHT.
Between a Florida Sheriff and an
Escaped Convict.

Tallahassee, Fla, March S1.-Sheriff
Pearce had lively time on Tuesday at
Wade's turpentine camp, with Jack Baker
an escaped convict from the Florida con-
Wet camps. In 1892 Baker shot Eugene
West in Madison county, and it is said
he is wanted for murder somewhere in
Georgia. Baker is a notorious negro, and
goes armed, even at work. But Sheriff
Pearce and Deputy Hopkins got the drop
on him. Pearce had him covered with a
gun before he knew It, Baker had his
gun, and finally dashed off for a building,
where ne kept Winchester. The sheriff
saw that Baker would reach the house
first, and he fired upon him. Four buck
shot took effect, and Baker fell to the
ground Deputy Hopkins ran to secure
him, but he discovered before he reached
the negro, that Baker was drawing a gun
on him. In an instant Hopkins fired at
him, Kidding his hat with shot, when
Baker gave up the fight, and was secured.
He is now in Jail here, under the care of
a physician. His wounds are very pain
full, but are not regarded as very serious.
