COFFEE WILL Be KING
WILLIAM H. CORNWELL, TALKS OF
HIS HAWAII VISIT.
Remarkable Progress Made-Coffee
Planters in Good Spirits--Great Ac-
tivity in Kona District.

"a recent tour of the island of Ha-
wall has thoroughly convinced me
that coffee will be paramount indus
try of our country within very few
years." said Mr.. William H. Cornwell,
ST., the Maui promoter, today.
"Those who have not seen the coffee
fields of Hawaii since their infancy
can have no conception of the remark
able progress that has been iade.
Each year seems to bring about re-
markable improvement in this trade.
Many hundred acres of new soil have
been titled for coffee cultivation this
season and the general inclination of
all coffee growers on Hawaii is to
reach out and develop their industries.
Every place | visited on my last
trip l found the coffee planters in good
spirits over the last crop and enthusi-
astic over the prospective one. In
Kona district is centered the greatest
activity. The growers there are talk
ing great pride in their product and
are commencing to adopt their own
brands and trade marks. They told
me that good market is being opened
up to Hawaiian coffee in San Fran
CISCO
twill Maui be included in the coffee
cultivation"
81 sincerely hope So" replied Mr..
Cornwell. There are some coffee
fields growing on Maui, but the trees
are just beginning to be grown there.
| don't see why coffee cultivation will
not prosper as well on Maui as on Ha-
wall.
There is no question whatever n my
mind but what coffee will soon hold
as equally important a place among
the industries of the Hawaiian Islands
as sugar occupies today"

Circumstances That May Again
Put Weyler to the Front
in Cuba IT,.

HAVANA, (via Key West,) Dec. IA
It is officially announced that the
Spanish forces under the command of
General Pando. in the. province of
Puerto Principe, have been pushing in.
surgent leader General Maxine Gomez
so closely that he was obliged, with
about 200 men of his escort, to seek
refuge in the woods and mountains of
Las Delicia.
The commissioners sent by General
Pando to different parts Of the island
with instructions to negotiate with the
insurgents for their acceptance of the
autonomous form of government pro-
posed by Spain have not returned in a
single case, which seems to confirm the
reports that some Of them have been
hanged by the insurgents aud others
have elected to remain with the enemy.
1t is reported that Juan Belgado, the
insurgent leader, has hanged the two
commissioners who were sent to him
with peace propositions.
A dispatch recently received here
from Madrid says that the autonomic
cabinet for Cuba will not be formed
until the Reformists and Unionists
unite in one party, and it is added that
the Reformist deputy, Amblard, who is
now in Madrid WILL on his arrival in
New York, offer to Manuel Rafael
Angulo. a member of the Cuban revo-
lutionary junta, a portfolio in the new
autonomic cabinet, in order to induce
hum to return to Cuba.

4 School GiII's Nerve \
From the New Era" Greensbsyp, md

Mothers who have young daughters q
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies. The prope,
development of their body is Of the first i'm.
portance. After the confinement of the
school room, plenty of out-of.door exercise
should be taken. It is better that their
children never learn their ., b, c's, than that
by learning them they lose their health.
But all this is self.evident. Everyone
admits it-everyone knows it, but everyone
does not know how to build them up when
once they are broken down. The following
method OF one mother, if rightly applied,
may save your daughter:
The young lady was Miss Lucy Barnes.
the fifteen year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stephen Barnes, who lives near Bur
9ey, Ind. She is bright young lady,. is
line has been considerably retarded by the
considerable amount Of sickness she has ex.
perienced. She has missed two years of
school on account Of her bad health, but now
she will be able to pursue her studies, since
her health has been restored. ~

newspaper man one day recently. my

was, twelve years old, she began to- grow
weak and nervous. It was, of course, a deli
cate age for her. She gradually grew weaker
and her nerves were at such tension that
the least little noise would irritate her very
much, and she was very miserable. There
was continual twitching in the arms and
lower limbs, and we were afraid that she

WEYLER TO THE FRONT.

Circumstances May Again Put Him in
Charge Of Cuban Affairs.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-The Journal s
Washington correspondent telegraphs
as follows:
Late advices from Madrid of a con.
identlal character are causing fears in
administration circles that Sagasta' s
physical weakness and i'll health may
cause him to break down under the
terrific strain which the opposition is
placing upon him in it's fierce attacks
upon the autonomist policy.
An lntimation has been received that
should he break down, the only barrier
in the way Of re-establishing reac-
ZIONIST policy would be removed.
Weyler has already come to an under
standing, it is claimed, with Romero
Robledo and will either take the min.
lstry OF war, under those circumstances,
and name Blanco's successor in Cuba,
Or will himself again return to the
island.
In either case, the crisis, which is
deemed inevitable at some day in the
future, would be Immediately be pre-

have to act at once in the matter of in.
PREVENTION, or be pushed into hostilities
with Spain by congress which would
decline any longer to stand the outrage
of Spanish rule in Cuba.
B]anco Receives Little Support.
While Blanco is making heroic
effort to carry out the instructions of
his home government, he is receiving
half-hearted support from the Cuban
Autonomists, chilly indifference from
the bulk of Spanish merchants, and
open opposition from the ultra. Span
iards; while the insurgents are showing
greater activity than at any time since
the death of Maceo. . ..;.
For the first time since the breaking
out of the insurrection, the insurgents,
especially in the east, are equipped
with sufficient cannon and ammunition
to attack fortified places and are cap
turing many Spanish strongholds.

LOST A FEW MILLIONS.

Rockefeller's Washington Mining Deals
Have Proved Very Expensive.
TACOMA, WASH, Dec. 14.-Five years
ago John D. Rockefeller invested large
sums in Monte Cristo gold mines in
Snohomish county. Then he built the
Everett and Monte Cristo railroad to
connect them with the Everett smelter,
which his money paid for. At Monte
Cristo concentration costing $3.50, 900
was erected, and the development of
the mines began on an extensive scale.
Charles L. Colby and Colgate Hoyt,
then Rockefeller's financial agents, got
him to back them in plating the town
site of Everett, which soon passed into
his control. Altogether between 49,.
600. 900 and 100000 was invested in
mines, railroad, townsite and equip
ment.
Road Will Not Be Rebuilt.
From New York it is announced on
the authority of his financial agent. F.
G. Gates. that the recently washed ut
Everett and Monte Cristo railroad will
not be rebuilt. Twenty-Five miles, be-.
tween Granite Falls and Everett. will
be operated as a logging road, but 80
miles will be abandoned. J. B. Croker,
Western representative Of Mr.. Rookie
Teller, says that the road and the mines
have proved ppFe%gn9Eatiye. Of

Supplies in the mountains are short
