.AON THE MYR1lES GREW KA|O HAS ONE HOPE LEFT
WILL APPEAL TO THE EXECUTIVE
FOR CLEMENCY.
Will be Satisfied With Life Imprison-
ment-Kapea's Chances to Evade the
Gallows are Very Slim.

Kaio, father of Kapea, the slayer Of
DIR. Jared X. Smith, of Koloa, Kauai,
and himself sentenced to death for
completely in the crime, still has one
ray of hope for his life. His attorney,
Alex. G.. NJ. Robertson, will very short
ly make an appeal to the President
and his Cabinet Ministers for Glenn
ency.
Attorney Robertson will request
that the Cabinet give careful consider
alton to Kaio's case. He will lay be
fore the Cabinet the testimony given
in the case with the condemned mans
sworn statement that he. forbade his
boys to carry out their horrible plan.
Kaio's attorney will also represent
to the Government that there is a pre-
vailing sentiment among the Hawaii
ans. including a majority of the ma
tives who are friends and supporters
of the Republic. that Kaio's offense
does not warrant death punishment.
1t is more than likely some big petit
tions will come from the natives with
the prayer that Kaio's life be spared.
The Cabinet will give Kaio's appeal
for his life very careful and earnest
consideration. The appeal will then
be read before the Council of State,
with or without the recommendation
of the Cabinet. as it may see fit. The
matter will be finally disposed of by
these two councils.
As for Kapea, there seems to be ve,y
little hope that he will be able to cheat
the gallows. Attorney Robertson,
when asked what further steps he
would take in the matter. said: ''I
cannot say at the present time. There
is but one step that | can take and
that lies in writ of error. Just now
| know of nothing that have omitted
in my original bill of exceptions
which was overruled by the Supreme
Court yesterday"

THE KAUAI MURDERERS.
PoiHts Made in the Decision of the
Supreme Court.

The opinion of the Supreme Court
in dismssing the appeals of Kapea and
Kaio, murderers of DR.. Smith of Ka-
uai, was exclusively announced in yes
terday's Star. The decision, which
was unanimous, makes ten points. The
most important of these is that the
Circuit Court has jurisdiction to try
all indictments presented, whether
presented at previous regular term
or not. Though Kapea and Kaio had
been committed to be tried at term
subsequent to the special term, still
it was within the jurisdiction of the
court to try them as it did.
The court also held that it was not
error to postpone the rendition of seir-
tence to the next term of court.
Other points included in the deci-
sion of the highest tribunal were:
"Where has been tried by an I'm
partial jury, the disallowancet of "A
juror for a cause of questionable
sutficiency is not ground for reversal;
nor when juror once accepted Is
thereafter challenged peremptorly;
nor when once accepted he is recalled

by the juror himself or from the eX'
animation of other jurors and is there
fore challenged peremptorily or eX
cluded by the court, provided the jury
is not sworn and no evidence has beer
taken.
1T is not reversible error for tho
court to decline to order the marsha
to allow counsel for defense to have
private interview with certain witness
es for the prosecution who are in Gus
tody of the marshal held under sta
tutory commitment.

THE SITUATION ALARMING At WORK UPON The ROADS
TIDE OF IMMIGRATION MAY BE
TURNED.
Prompt Action Must be Taken Tow
ard the Accommodation of Visitors
Hotels Now a Public Necessity.

Unless prompt action is taken for
the accommodation of visitors to the
Islands, the tide of immigration that
has set in, bringing prosperity in it's
train, must be turned. Several dis
gusted people who came here to IN
vestigate and invest returned home by
the steamer yesterday, angry because
they could not secure hotel accommo-
dations anywhere. One man who was
left out in the cold wrote a very strong
letter to one of the San Francisco dai-
| lies, advising people not to come TO
the Islands, because they could not
expect fair treatment from the people
and would have to shift for themselves
in an inhospitable city. According TO
the best advices scores of such letters
of warning have been sent out, each
one carrying with it injury that will
be difficult to repair.
The Chamber of Commerce will un-
doubtedly take hand in the matter
unless private enterprise soon awak-
ems into life. Immigration means
| prosperity not only for the land own
er and merchant. but for the wage
Garner as well, for it broadens the
field of employment and puts life into
trade. All of the Pacific Coast states
have organizations that not only reach
out after immigration, but prepare
| the way for it. and look after accom-
modations and entertainment of the
people who are attracted within their
borders.
The annexation debate in Congress
has advertised the resources of the Is.
lands as they were never before adver.
tised, and thousands of visitors may
surely be expected here during the
next summer. Whether they come or
pleasure bent or to engage in buSi.
ness here matters but little, for al
come to spend their money here, ant
the free circulation of money means
prosperity. Said a gentleman who i,
interested largely in coffee this morn
ing:
''It is shame that a city of the size
of Honolulu cannot provide accommo
dations for mere than few score O.
travellers at time. Unless something
is done at once we shall soon have tn,
name of being an antiquated and moss
grown lot and the development O
these Islands will receive set bacl
from which it will not recover in
great many years. Every visitor, i
properly treated, means score of new
friends for annexation.
admittedly the development of tn,
Island is in its infancy. We have al
most unlimited agricultural resources
which, if properly developed, will sup
port a very large white population
But we need the people and need then
badly. Coffee can never be a perfec
success until the coffee lands are al
taken up by small homesteaders ant
the population of the Islands largel,
increased Why, then, are we so in
different to new comers? We all wan
prosperity and vet how can we eXpec
to get it so long as we do not eXten,
a helping hand? If we will only shov
the proper spirit now, firmly believ
that within the next year or two tn
white population of the Islands vii
be increased four fold. The United
States can then find no further eX
cuse for keeping us out of the Union.

MORE TROOPS
Orders Issued for Five Regiments
Now in Camp at San
Francisco
To Proceed at Once to Manila,
- to ReinfOre the Garrison
There.
War Department Says 1t Is in
Pursuance Of an Old
Intention.
A Later Order Designates Sew
eral Additional Detachments
to Be Sent.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Five regi-
ments now at San Francisco have been
ordered to Manila. Arrangements for
their transportation will be made at
once
The regiments ordered to Manila are
the following: Fifty.frst Iowa, Twen-
tieth Kansas, First Tennessee, First
Washington and a detachment of the
First Oregon.
1t was stated at the war department
that no exigency had arisen which
made it necessary to send the troops
now at San Francisco to Manila, but
that the order issued was in accordance
with the general plan of the depart
ment regarding a garrison for the
Philippines. That plan of garrison
duty included 10000 men for the Phil
ippines, 1850 for Porto Rico, and Co.
600 for Cuba. The troops to be sent to
Manila under this order will fill the
complement for that station. The
troops would have been sent before, it
was said, except that the department.
was awaiting the return of Transports.
It is not expected that troops now at
Honolulu will accompany those to be
embarked at San Francisco, but that
more troops will be sent to Honolulu
in the near future.

delayed in transmission. 1.-The evac-

pied by the Spaniards has begun.
Aguidillo, San Sebastian ana Lares
were abandoned by them, and the
troops OF General Gar1etson's brigade
and the Eleventh infantry moved in
and hoisted the American flag. The
Spanish troops from the abandoned
positions are being concentrated at
Areicibo, whence they will reach San
Juan by railroad as soon as transporta.
ton is available. They could not enter
the city before owing to its crowded
condition.
On Wednesday the Spaniards will
evacuate the island of Viequez, where
q company Of American troops, dis.
patched from General Grants brigade
has been landed. The Spanish troops
from the island of Viequez will remain
at Humacao until the Spanish fall back
On the line of the military road. Span
ish control is now confined 10 within a
hne drawn from Humacao to Aobonito
and from there to Areicibo, less than
one-thlrd of the island.
Transports Are En- Route.
The Spanish evacuation commission
ers have officially Informed the Amer
leans that they had been notified Of
the sailing from Spain of TWO trans
ports intended to embark troops here,
and also thatF4OO Spanish soldiers wall
sail from here tomorrow en- transport
which is expected from ba. The de-.
parting troops consist of-200 sick men
and 200 mem bers OF the engineers regi.
ment.
The meeting of the commissioners
was entirely without friction, and it
was owing to the good feeling prevail
ing between our o.diers and those of
Spain that it was dec, ded TO allow the
company of Americans to land at the
island OF Viequez before the Spanish
left.
It has been decided to allow Amer.
leans to enter the Spanish lines and
vice versa, in pursuit OF marauders.
This obliterates the neutral zone and it
is believed it will result in the COM
plete suppression Of disorders at
Utuado and other places IN the in.
terror, and afford protection to native
and Spanish residents alike.
In spite Of the fact that some Of
them have been oisillusioned, the in.
fux OF American promoters continues.
Most OF them are at Ponce and unable
to reach San Juan, owing to the mill
tary regu a5ions. An agent Of The
American Sugar Refining company Is
here and many others are seeking bus.
mess opportunities, franchises and
concessions. All of them are fretting
over the unavoidable delay.
The condition OF the troops on the
island is not improving. Almost 1000
men have reported sick. General
Brooke is dong all in his power to inn
prove the condition of the soldiers and
afford them every comfort possible.
He has ordered every military tent on
the island to be fitted with flooring,
