How Hawaiians Got ria of Insects.

From Nature.
Few countries have been more plagued
by the Importation of insect pests than the
Hawaiian Islands: in none have such ex-
traordinary results followed the introduce
ton of beneficial species to destroy them.
BY far the most conspicuous of the former
class, and hitherto the most injurious have
been the scale insects. The number of spe-
cies of this group which have spread
throughout the islands is remarkable and
not less so the enormous multiplication of
individuals of many or most of these spe-
cies.
The first importation of coccinelidae to de-
stroy these hordes was made in 1890. when
Vedalia cardinals, MUS, a native Of Aus
tralia, was sent over by Albert Koebele.
At that time many trees were in a deplor-
able condition from the attacks of icerya.
monkey-pod trees being particularly bad
ly infested-so much so that they were be-
ing largely cut down as the only resource.
The Vedalia was a complete success; il
became perfectly naturalzed increased
prodigiously for time, practically cleals4
ed the trees, and then. as the icerya be-,
came comparatively scarce. decreased i'm
numbers, while at the present time ii is
evident that the number OF scale and its
destroyer has arrived at a fixed proportion

Lee Telegraphs That is the Earliest
Day That the American COnsuls
can be Brought Out
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The steam
er Olivette has broken down. Consul
Lee has notified the president that he
cannot get Americans out of Cuba ii
Saturday.
It is now thought that the presidents
mess age will not be delayed until after
the American consuls are brought out
of Cuba. Which the diplomatic corres-
pondence with Spain and the cores
pondence and reports of the consuls in
Cuba will be sent with the message, it
does not follow that all will be made
public. It is thought that all or con-
siderable portion will go to the commit
tees on foreign relations and foreign
affairs for Information but not neces-
sarily for publication now. The con-
su'ar reports especially will proba 1ly
be held confidentially by committees
in order to protect the givers of the
from bodily harm. 1t this
course is pursued it will not be neces-
sary for the consuls to leave Cuba at
this time, as it has been reported they
would do when the consular reports
were printed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 5.-Del-

for the convention of the league of
bimetsllic clubs of the Ohio valley
which will open here tomorrow and
continue in session two days. Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky are the
states embraced in the league but the
indications are that the representation
will net be by any means confined to
this section. Chicago and Cincinnati
will both be represented by large dele
cations of silver men. Rooms were
prepared at the Grand hotel today for
William J. Bryan who is expected to
arrive in the city early tomorrow

who will be on hand to take part in the
proceedings are ex-Congressman A.
N. Towne, chairman of the national
silver republican committee; Marion
Butler, chairman of the national popu-
list committee, Chairman Jones of the
democratic national committee, and A.
J Warner, president of the National

WASHINGTON, April Sit is stated
that by tomorrow noon nearly all Am

have left Cuba. Consul General Lee
will remain at the helm till the last
moment.
1t was the presidents intention to
send his message to congress today, but
as large parts of it were taken from the
reports of General Lee and the consu,s
it was not deemed wise to make II
public before they and other American
subjects are safely out of the
island. American consuls in Cuba
are being gathered together at Hava-
ma and one other Cuban port whose
name is not divulged.
Arrangements are being made with
Plant Line como oa y to send steamers

ROME, April 5.-The Pope received this morn
! ing from President Mckinley message declining
intervention of his holiness between the United States
and Spain, and also containing declaration of the
presidents policy. Mckinley says he is extremely
sensible of the initiatives taken by the pontif but
that it is impossible for him to overcome the preu
dice. even though unjust, which is entertained by
majority of the American people against the vatcans
Intervention in political affairs of this nation. The
despatch adds that President Mckinley is opposed to
war now, as in the past and will do all possible to
AVOID recourse to such amentabIe expedient, which
is considerably him as unworthy of civilized coun-
try but that he could not go against the sentiment of
the entire nation, which claims independence of Cuba
and cessation of the horrors which have been going
: on for three years in that unhappy land.

Of ShawneetOwn Threatened-A Fierce
Wind Now Adding to the Horrors
of High Water.
RIDGEwAY, Ills, April 5.-Torrents
of water lasbed by fierce winds into
waves 10 feet high, threaten TO make
complete the destruction of Shawnee
town, and add still more victims to the
already long list of those who perished
in the great disaster.
Little has been done as yet toward
recovering the bodies of the dead. At
tention is now being directed chiefly to
caring for the living. So far sixty-five
are known to have drowned, with two
hundred missing.
The property loss is tremendous,
every stock of goods in town being q
total loss. The gale.is blowing hesvi-
ly, rain is falling, and the wages are
rolling over the levees, which are
crumblinR rapidly. It is feared the
Riverside hotel, which is full of refu-
gees, will go down. If 30, the loss of
life will be appalling. People who es-
capped from the flood say half the vii
lsge is wiped out. Grewsome tales of
dead bodies floating about in the water
are told. There are scores of stories
told of heroic deeds performed during
the rush of waters. Telephone mes
sage just received says that over one
hundred dead bodies have been recov-

McKinley's message will go to congress
at noon tomorrow. The document was
completed and read through twice at q
cabinet meeting last night It is des-
cribed by those who heard it as q vigor-
GUS document, which will make every
thing clear to congress and the coun-
try, that Spain g rule in Cuba cannot
be longer tolerated, and that interveu-
tion on the part of the United States is
a necessity unless Spain shall yield
The president, however, being unable
to recognize the conflicting opinions
of congress and others among
his advisers who are divided
in their views of which
recommendation should be made. will
therefore make no direct recOmmenda-
tion to congress. Popular sentiment
being in favor of pushing Spain for the
destruction of the Maine had all to do
with the presidents decision, but the
executive still believes Spain's respon-
sibility should be fixed by congress be-
fore Intervention is voted by that
body. Inference drawn from thu mes
sage was that armed Intervention was
inevits BILE unless independence is
granted, and this action will undoubt-
edly bs taken promptly. Probably not
