slaughter in the third degree, for the
murder of John Milton. was today
sentenced to Il term of five years inn
prisonment at hard labor in Oahu

pay the costs of his trial.
The five Ilawaiians who were the
associates of Burke i'm the crime. but
who were only found guilty of assault
and battery, were each given year
in the penitentiary at hard labor as
well as to pay costs.
These Hawaiians, together with G..
O. Malina, who was acquitted. were
with Milton in a drunken brawl, at
Iwelei, Honolulu, last summer Milton
was found dead shortly after parting
company with his Hawaiian associ-
ates.
Judge Perry imposed the sentence

Should the Planters Ship Their Sugar
Over the Pacific Mail Route the Chi
ma Would Run on This Route.

The sugar planters who are in the
compact to ship $4,000 tons of Hawa-
iian sugar to New York refineres via
Cape Horn by sailing vessels and the
railroads, have yet some arrangements
to complete for the transportation of
their product.
OF the total amount to be shipped,
$4,000 tons must go across the United
States by railroad. 1t is quite gener-
ally understood that this sugar must
be carried to the railroad terminus
on board steamers.
John +. lIacltfeld of the firm of II.
Hackfeld d Co., agents for the Paci-
fic Mail Steamship Company, stated
in an interview this morning that the
planters had not arranged for the
shipment of the 10000 tons over the
Pacific ocean to the railroad terminus.
This would be settled shortly.
1t is understood that this sugar will
be hauled by steam and that the Gee
anic Company could not hope to haul
it. owing to the attitude taken by
Claus Spreckels against the compact.
President Coils =. Huntington of
the Southern Pacific. having an inter
est in the Pacific Mail Steamship com
pany, may have the effect of that line
securing the contract for the haul.
If this is done. it has been stated that
the big steamship China, having the
Hawaiian register, will be put on the
Honolulu-San Francisco run to carry
the sugar

Gus AND RUDOLPH SpRECKELS
MAKE STATEMENTS.
Insist That Claus Spreckels' 100000
Loan to Princess Ruth Did Not
Concern Hawaiian Sugar Company.

Important papers bearing upon the
big suit which the Hawaiian CONNER
cial and Sugar Company has brought
against Claus Spreckels came by the
Belgic and were placed on record in
Clerk Smiths Office this morning.
The papers include the depositions
of Colonel Samuel Parker, c. Angus
tus Spreckels. Rudolph Spreckels,
Russell j. Wilson, VI. :. Wilson and
Charles ;. Wheeler, all stockholders
in the Hawaiian Commercial and SUI
gar company. who testify against the
claim brought against the company
by Claus Spreckels for a loan of $780,
600 advanced to Princess Ruth dur
ing her lifetime
The elder Spreckels claims that he
paid over this money to the Princess
in order to secure fee simple title to
the lands now embracing Spreckels-
vile plantation.
Colonel Parker. a resident of Homo
lulu, but now in California. denies
that this is true. He SAYS that he has
known Claus Spreckels since 1878 and
was acquainted with Princess Ruth
Keelikolani in her lifetime. In 1850,
Col. Parker says that he was request
ed by Mr.. SpreckelS TO enter into ne
gotations in his behalf with Princess
Ruth for the purpose of purchasing
from her her claims to crown lands.
Mr.. Sprecl<els informed him at the
time that he was deSirouS of securing
"A fee simple title to the lands on the
Island of Maui at the town of Spreck-
elsville.
Colonel Parker adds that he pro-
cured a deed from the Princess for
10000, which Mr.. Spreckels paid ov-
er He insists that no loan of 500. 900
WIS made to the Princess by Mr..
Spreckels in consideration of the
Princess claim to the crown lands. vt
this time, Colonel Parker says Mr..
Spreckels had business transactions
with w. G. Irwin. Princess Ruth and
himself. He admitted that a debt
against the Princess held by Bishop
Co. was cancelled by Mr.. Spreckels
but denies that it had any connection
in the sale of Ruth's interest in the
crown lands

THE BALTIMORE BRINGS HER
ORDERS.
The Flagship Arrives in Port-Flag
Transfer Today-Great Activity in
Naval Row.

There is plenty of life and move
ment in Naval Row today. The L. S. ).
Baltimore arrived in port yesterday,
and is to receive the Admiral's flag to-
day, and the L. S. S. Yorktown is un-
der orders to sail for San Francisco at
p. IN. Such u general shaking up
means an endless amount of work,
and coal barges and supply boats
have been bumbing up against diplo-
matte launches all morning. Cannon
have been booming, too. and all is
hustle and confusion on the bay.
The Baltimore arrived yesterday
morning, about day earlier than she
was expected, and has found an an
chorage between the twin gunbats al
ready in port. She had pleasant
trip down, steaming all the way at
moderate speed. TO the ordinary OBJ
server she is much like the Philadel-
phia, except that she appears to set
much higher out of the water. She
carries an armament of four S-inch
guns. six 6-inch guns, two rapid firing
machine guns of modern design, each
capable of firing 600 shots per minute.
and great array of smaller, rapid fir
ing Instruments of destruction. Her
is a full list of her officers:

This morning the Baltimore saluted
the Hawaiian flag. This afternoon
Admiral Miller will transfer his flag
to her from the Bennington.
The Yorktown received her sailing
orders yesterday afternoon. immedia-
tely after the arrival of the Balti-
more, and it has required some fast
work in order to get her ready for
sea on time. Additional coal was ta-
ken on board this morning. and eve
rything made ready. She will prob
ably get her anchor up by p. m. The
\ orktoWn was not expected to depart
until the latter part of the week, but
there is no grumbling, for most of
her officers and men have been away
from home for a long time.
The Baltimore is here to remain for
an indefinite period, probably until
the differences between Japan and
Hawaii are settled and Congress has
come to a vote on annexation. The
Bennington will also remain as Il dis
patch boat.

SAILORS HOME NOTES.
Seamen are Being Well Looked After
There.

NJ. I. BluNome, manager of the Sal
lorS Home, wishes to inform all those
interested in home" work that il is
going ON as well as ever. Every Sun
day Mr.. BluNome carries large bun
dies of reading matter aboard all the
different ships in port, at the same
time inviting the men to attend the
different services held during the day
and also to the Home.
The latter invitation. is very gener-
ally accepted, the men taking advant-
age of the benefits offered in the way
of baths, billiards and reading room:
also many of them like to lay out on
the grass under the shady trees and
talk and smoke their pipes. In the
past few months, shipping not being
heavy, the percentage of men in port
has been small. therefore fewer have
visited the Home.
1t is to be hoped that the services
formerly held aboard the ships in
port, will be resumed shortly. Plans
are now being formed, and Mr.. Day
may be in charge again. He is n
most faithful and vigorous worker.
Reading matter of any kind is al
ways acceptable, especially pictorials,
as the sailors are very fond of these.
The manager cordially invites all in
terested to call and inspect the Home.
