MIR. Marsden Sounds a
Warning to Planters.
Vegetable Fungus In Guatemala.
Action of Pest - Refrain From
Importing, Says the Expert.
DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR.

i L
Bureau CT Agriculture and Forestry.
Honolulu, March %, 1898.
EDITOR ADVERTISER. Sir:-I
would respectfully call the attention Of
the coffee planters to fungus disease
that is seriously affecting the coffee
plantations in Guatemala, the follow
ing account Of this disease has been
sent to this bureau from Washington:
It is a vegetable fungus which is de-
stroying the coffee culture of Guate-
mala, so that the whole industry in
that country is to be given up, unless a
remedy is found.
So far no antidote has been found for
this fungus, nor any means by which
it can be kept in check, it not only at
tacks coffee trees but other plants as
we'll.
1t is first seen as "a little brown spot,
about the size of pea, on the leaf,
there may be a number of such spots
on a single leaf, in the center of each
spot is little orange red growth,
about the size of dot, which under
the microscope looks like little ball
on a stem.
The action of this fungus on the cof-
fee tree is to cause the leaves to shrivel
up and fall off, so that the tree is en-
tirely denuded of it's foliage, the grow
ing berries also dry up and fall off.
This fungus clings to seed coffee and
may be transported to other countries
receiving such seed.
1t would be wise plan for our cof-
fee planters to refrain from importing
seed coffee from any foreign country
and any seed coffee for which orders
have previously been sent, should be
disinfected as soon as possible after
best be done by immersing the bags
containing the coffee in strong lime
water, made by putting large bucket
of unslacked lime into so gallons of
water, after the lime is Stacked it
should be we'll stirred up and the bags
of coffee should be immersed in the
mixture for at least 10 minutes. This
method will effectually destroy any
fungus spores that may be adhering to
the bags or seed.
There seems to have been a great
and general desire on the part of the
coffee planters to obtain coffee seed
from Guatemala and other countries.
There is no doubt but that the trees
grown from Guatemala seed have
borne crops much earlier than trees
grown from Hawaiian seed, but it is
by no means certain that the superb
GRITTY Of the Guatemala trees is main
tanned as the trees become older, as a
general rule, trees that bear at an
early age, soon lose their vigor and are
short lived. We would like to hear
from Mr.. J. M. Horner on this sub
ject He was perhaps the first planter
to grow the Guatemala trees.

Close upon the heels of a dispatch to

ENGLAND ACTS.
Orders Her Fleet From Halifax to Ber-
muda.


London. March 2S.-The British fleet
has been ordered from Halifax to Ber-
1nuda. following the agitation for an An
glo-American alliance this action is
considerably commented upon by di-
plomats. The authorities explain that
it is merely considered desirable that
British ships should be in the vicinity
of Cuba in order to safeguard British
commerce and British subjects in case
of war The idea of AnglO-Amer1can
co-operation in Cuba is secuted. A di-
.pIOmat who is cOnVerSant with the in
side negotiations on the Cuban ques-
ton said: IF Spain and the United
States go to war, they will nght WITH
out an ally on either side The United
States does not need an ally and Spain
cannot get an ally. The Onlted states:
will however have the sympathy of
Great Britain and Spain will have the
sympathy of all the continental powers,
but their attitude may be depended up
on not to exceed sympathetic neutral
ity.
of deputies on Saturday was the death
blow to Spain's fOndest hope of help.
Austria would be willing to intervene,
but she is unable to do so. Germany is
the only European nation which is hos
tile to the United States, this hostility
emanating directly from the emperor
and the circle rejecting his personal
opinion 1t arises out of the growing
realization that the United States is the
greatest commercial rival of Germany.
It is remarked that the inspired dis
patches, emanating from Vienna, which
for a long time have suggested the
European intervention on behalf of
Spain, have since the Chinese crisis,
reached an acute stage, been toned
down to suggestions of mediation.

MEN MORE TEAM GUNS
Count in a War Says Capt. A. T.
Mahan.

New York, March 2S-Captain A. T.
Mahan, author of THE Influence of Sea
Power Upon History before sailing for
Europe said:
war is imminent. There must eth
er be fighting or a back down some
where. No one knowing the feelings of
the Cuban insurgents believes for a mo-
ment that they can be induced to sub
nit.
Spain surely will not take a back
ward step. To do so would to be over
throw the monarchy and it would be
quite as bad for the United States to re-
cede from its position"
Captain Mahan says we could not fail
to win even if We were sadly behind
both on the number of ships and quail
ty of ordnance.
For" he explained. "it is not ships;
it is not guns, and it is not armor plate
primarily that win a fight but men,
and American men are superior in
physique, power OF endurance, marks
manship, and moral courage to Spanish
men. I do not mean to decry the Span
iards and I have no prejudice against
them because they are not Americans.
but I have studied carefully and I can
not hold otherwise than that they are
inferior to our men in the qualities
named"

CRISIS IN PORTO RICO.
Elections Cause Government Trouble
News Shut Off

Madrid, March 28.-A semi official note
mas keen issued, which says:
Owing to the interruption in the ca
BILE service to Porto Rico, the govern
ment has been without news until this
morning, when the report was confirm
ed of disagreements among the liberal
elements in Porto Rico. The old auto
nOmist party, finding their interests af-
fected in connection with the elections
to the insular chamber, have published
a manifesto, compromising to the union
among the autonOmists and to the very
one time the historical autOnOmists
thought of abstaining from the cleo
tiOns, but happily they desisted from
this attitude, all agreeing that the cab
met should remain constituted as at
present. The electoral struggle will,
under these conditions, be very severe"
The announcement of these differences
in Porto Rico has a natural effect upon
the peninsula elections.
At a late hour it is rumored that
government crisis has occurred in Porto

CALL US YANKEE PIGS"
Spanish Papers in Cuba Display Bit
ter Hatred Towards Americans.

New York, March 2S.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says;
Havana newspapers have finally estab-
lished friendly relations with the press
censorship. Heretofore they have 1nstl7
staff of the army, which is charged with
the duty of editing the copy. Ihe gem
eral staff does not use the blue pencil
sl1illfully or with discrimination Any
thing that might appear to be hostile to
the governments policy IS thrown out
entirely: If a suspicion exists that an
article is meant to be read between the
lines. it is lifted bodily. A better IN
derstanding was not reached until sub
ject was found on which the military cen
sOrship of the press and the newspapers
occupied common ground. This was the
Yankee. The policy of autonomy was so
dead that the daily journals, though rep
resenting what We're supposed to be con-
ficting opinions, could find nothing over
which they could dispute.

edge off their appetite partisanshfp has

with only veiled references to the enc
mics of Spain This was soon ehanged

think it would be both a duty and privi-
lege to punish the entire Yankee nation.

Then. if the Havana newspapers inter-
pret their sentiment correctly, they will
start with their sleeves rolled up and be-
gin the slaughter of American pigs"
In working up this patriotic fever the
newspapers have unconsciOusly perform
ed a public service. They have educated
the Havana populace to the probability
that the Maine was blown up by an ex-
ternal agency No case has been made
out of their own governments The peo-
pie have not been led to believe that it
would be possible to establish the theory
of accident. They have been more inter-
ested in the details of the American case,
and had more information about it. and,
Notwithstanding their prejudices and their
passions, place more confidence in it. So
they are prepared for the verdict.
