MAJOR HoYT SHERMAN SAYS SUCH Is THE OPIN-

Chicago. Feb. 2S.-A "Times-Herald" dispatch
from Des MOines, says: Major HOyt Sherman
brother of Senator John Sherman, has just re-
turned from trip East. He visited his brother
who, he says, is of the opinion that war YES
sci should be sent to Havana Immediately in
order to give assurance that protection will be
afforded the American citizens in Cuba. This
would not be for the purpose Of causing war he
says. but would serve to remind the Spanish
Government that they should be careful in
their treatment of American citizens.
Major Sherman says his brother does not
agree with the policy Of the present Admins
trat,on. and thinks II should have acted long
ago. He does not believe such stand would
mean war but thinks ii would have good effect
on Spain showing that this country must be
respected"

The Inspector General of Schools N
looking over the enrolment lists Of

attendance of about 200 teachers.
Letters have been received from sew

Rain FALLS IN HAMAKUA
LONG CONTINUED DROUGHT AT
LENGTH BROKEN.
Dropping and Parched Cane Fields
Revived by a Heavy Downpour--.
Valuable Crops Saved.

Good news was received by the Kila-
uea Hou this morning. Heavy rains
have been experienced in Hamakua
district, on Kauai, putting an end to
the drought which threatened to dam
age the sugar crop to an alarming ex-
tent. The storms have been rather
severe, accompanied by high winds
and squalls, but the rain has been
heavy. The indications were, when
the Kilauea Hou sailed from Laupa-
hoehoe, that the rain had been general
along the Hawaii coast.
For many weeks past the Hamakua
district had been literally drying up
under the rays of hot sun. The cane
fields looked yellow, and the young
cane was whiting badly. Only occa-
sionally light showers were expert
enced, and the prospects were that the
crop would be all but ruined. The
rain came last Monday, and not day
too soon. The crop has undoubtedly
received serious set back, but the
harm is not so great as was expected.
All the gulches were running full,
and the coast, as the steamer passed
along, was one series of waterfalls, a
sight that has not been seen for many
months.
At Kukuihaele the reservoirs are al
filed up and there is surplus water
dashing over the cliffs in Waipio Val
ley and giving fine display of cas-
cade effect.
At Honokaa even the homesteaders
up the mountain side were suffering
for want of water. Now things have
taken a good turn and they all feel
encouraged.

.bRENH|LDA HAS A HISTORY
WAS THE CAUSE OF A FAMOUS
LAW SUIT.
Her Plucky Skipper, Twice Defeated,
Won Enormous Damages In the
Court of Final Appeal.

The British ship Brenhilda, now dis
charging cargo at the Irmgard wharf,
has an interesting history. Over her
was fought one of the most sensa-
tional and bitter law suits in the His
tory of the British Admiralty Courts.
Her skipper won the case in the court
of last appeal, and it cost the British
India Steamship Company $1,000,000.
A dozen years ago the Brenhilda was
out at Calcutta, and was in collision
with steamer of the British India
Steamship Company. The skipper of
the Brenhilda, plucky little English
man, claimed that the steamship peo-
pie were at fault, and brought suit
against the company to recover dam
ages. r. NJ. Macauley, now in the EN-
ploy of Irwin & Co., was in Calcutta
at the time, and remembers the cir
| cumstances very well.
The Brenhilda's Captain lost his
case, but his owners had so much con.
| fidence in him that they authorized
him to fight the case in the highest
courts, sparing no expense. The skip
per employed the most celebrated law
yers in Calcutta, and appealed the
case to the Supreme Court. He ther
dismantled his ship, boarded her over
tied her up, and discharged his crew
settling down for a long wait.
The Supreme Court sustained tn
decision of the lower court, but the
plucky skipper appealed to the Lords
of the Admiralty, the highest court il
England. BY dint of perseverance, h
managed to find an important wit
ness, upon whose testimony the Who'll,
case hinged. Two years time wa
consumed, and an enormous amoun
of money spent, but in the end tn
BrenhilCa's s skipper won the case an'
secured Judgment against th
British India Steamship Company fo
f25O,OOO. damages, attorneys fees an,
court costs.

PRESIDENT DOLE'S BROTHER.
Gives Good Reasons for the AnneXa
ton of Hawaii.

George II. Dole, brother of the Presi-
dent, and Il former resident of the
islands, but now prominent citizen
of Riverside, Gala, in speaking of Ha-
waiian anne neNation to his town paper,
said:
"It is the very best thing that could
happen for Hawaii, and l regard the
possession of the islands as an i'm
perative necessity. Hawaii is the key
to the Northern Pacific. England
would have jumped at our chance TO
get it.
81 would like to see the islands come
in under the immediate control of the
Federal Government, something like
the District of Columbia, because that
is the preference of the Hawaiians.
'The Crown lands will. l presume, be
thrown open to settlement. They
originally composed half the islands,
and much the greater and better part
of them are still held by the Govern
ment.
"The sugar output of Hawaii has
vastly increased in the past ten years.
1t now amounts to 100000 tons, most
all of which is shipped to the United
States"

woman suarage in New zsaIand.

Hon. Hugh Lusk in April Forum.
It's now four years since the electoral
franchise was granted to all women q
years Of age by the act Of the local Par.
lament; and as che Psrliaments in New
Zealand last for three years, there have
been two general elections in which the
womens vote has been an important
factor. 1t is only just TO note that there
are no symptoms Of public regret at the
step thus taken, nor are there, so far,
any indications Of the change having
altered in other respects the ordinary
usages Of society. On the other hand, it
is important to observe that the change
Was no new idea in New Zealand It
was not the result of female agitation,
either through the press or on the plat
form. There were no "women's rights"
leagues organized; nor was any public
attempt made to denounce the selfish
ness OF men, or to magnify the virtues
and intellectual powers Of women, To
the persons who have put themselves
forward in positions Of prominence in
the "women's rights" movements in
America and Great Britain, the attitude
Of the women Of New Zealand would un.
doubtedly have seemed slow and supine
to an extraordinary degree. They held
no meetings; they sent no petitions; they
published no letters or pamphlsts-
either to denounce men or to praise
women. What they did was to take ad-
vantage of every opportunity that was
given them Of taking part in the man
agement of public affairs, and of showing
an active and intelligent interest in pub
lie questions.
