petition to these islands and the
subsequent capture Of Manila.
81 quite agree with your CORE
spondent as to the imperative neces-
sity aud convenience to Spain in
handling over these islands to Great
Britain, the great recognised COL
onial Power, seeing their colonial
policy is an utter failure, a disaster,
in the eyes OF the whole world. The
inhabitants Of the Philippine ISL
ands are pacific and intelligent
race, second only in poiut of menl al
and intellectual supremacy to the
japanese amongst Oriental nations,
aud second simply because of the
severe restrictions imposed on these
people to travel in foreign lands, to
lmbibe the products OF modern
civilization, to educate thems elves,
without experiencing the errors
adherent TO all progressive sys' ems
of governmental machinery--as the
Japanese themselves have done. We
par excellence the humane colonial
civilising element Of the nineteenth
century, proved aud demonstrated
to the satisfaction of all other ma
tions, aud with greater pretensions
still in the next, under 'one Queen
one flag'-interest ourselves even in
Armenian atrocities; but were the
history and pathetic sufferings OF
those poor people more amply
known to the British nation at large,
| venture to suggest to our senators
that they could find no juster cause
for humane intervention on behalf
OF an oppressed people struggling
to be free, aud oblige the Spanish
Government by right of conquest to
adhere to the stipulations OF the
treaty as signed. The present in
surrection or rebellion is no work OF
few marauding bands OF robbers
or other malcontents; it is the pro-
found popular expression and pro-
test against crying wrongs, we'll
known to all who have visited those
beautiful islands. Actual resistance
to armed authority may be sup
pressed by superior force; at present
it requires 25,000 Spanish solders to
hold in check 5000 rebels badly
armed. The Governor. General may
telegraph the insurrection is flush
eds but it exists to-day on all sides
in his very palace; in his native
servants, deep in their hearts, in the
form of an inextinguishable hatred
towards their cruel, exacting and
inefficient masters.
During three hundred and
tweuty-six years OF misrule aud op
preston, OF atrocities the Spanish
nation would be ashamed to place
on record, not one fourth OF the
total area has been colonised, not
ably in the case OF the Islaud OF

Spaniards dare not penetrate. To
those who may wish to understand
some of the reasons of the present

these islands-to put the case no

RACERS WENT CHEAP.

There was large crowd at the auc-
ton sale of w. II. Cornwel's racing
horses this morning. But the bidding
was not lively and the horses sold at
prices considered phenomenally low.
The sale took place at noon at j.
f. Morgan's sale rooms on Queen
street. Harry Armitage was the auc-
tioneer.
Flamers was bought by w. II. Cum
ningham for $40: Harry Armitage
bought Racefied for 500, and j. G.
Campbell bought Venus for $3.50 and
Garterline for $3.50.
Armitage bought Racefeld as a
speculation, believing the horse is
worth much more than the price bid.
Cunningham and Campbell will add
their purchases to their present rae
ing stables.
The sale of Red Pike for 800 to
Kanakanui, at private sale, by w. II.
Cornwell, is also reported.

AN ACCIDENT AT KAUNAKAKAI
PLANTATION.
Boys Skull Smashed in by Whirling
Lever-Coroner's Inquest Returns
Verdict of Accidental Death

hoa, native boy, aged -, met
with a fatal accident by being struck
with the lever of a stump puller, on
the Kaunakakai plantation, Molokai,
on July 9th. Death was instantaneous.
a jury was called July 7th, and re-
turned a verdict of accidental death.
Koa was the water carrier for a
stump pulling gang, of which Ernest
Renkin was in charge. Renkin has
brought out a mule in the afternoon,
which refused to work; he conse-
quently returned to the stables to get
another. When he left Koa was fast
Renkin was in charge. Renkin had
was away the three natives and Jap,
composing the gang, determined to
put the chain on another stump. I'm
fortunately they started at the wrong
end of the machine. They started at
the bottom to let the rachel loose. be-
fore they disconnected at the top
The machine is worked by lever
about twelve feet long. AS soon as
the hold of the rachel was removed,
there was strain on the wire rope
which caused the whole machine to
revolve and the lever whirled round
at a terrific rate.
Koa, during the absence of Renkin,
wakened up, and when the men be-
gan working at the rachel, come up
to look on. He was standing some
ten feet from the drum. 1t was an
interesting sight to the poor boy, for
at first they pounded with a block of
thirty pounds in weight, and then
they thought a lever might be more
efficacious. They were fatally sue
cessful, the rachel was moved and the
lever struck the unfortunate boy a
terrific blow on the head, crushing in
the skull like an egg shell.
\ coroner's inquest was held and a
verdict of accidental death was re-
turned. 1t. is wonder that the four
men were not also killed. but being
close to the drum the force of the lev
er was not so great. They We're all
knocked down and seriously bruised.
Manager McLain provided a coffin
and attended to the funeral. which
was very solemnly conducted. This
is the first death since work on the
plantation has been started.

QUEEN and PRINCES AGREE
THEY AMICABLY SETTLE THEIR
DIFFERENCES.
Kapiolani's Property Made Over to a
Trustee on the Terms of the Origi-
nal Gift.

Princes David and Cupid are not to
lose the magnificent gift of their
aunt, the Dowager Queen Kapiolani.
The contracts and deeds embodying
the amicable settlement OF the con-
troversy over the original deed of gift
were signed today and will probably
be filed in court this afternoon, and
the suit of the queen dismissed of
record.
BY the terms of the settlement The
princes are to get the same benefit of
the estate that they did under the
original deed They simply join with
the queen in the execution of a deed
of trust by which the entire property
is conveyed to f. II. Wodehouse. as
trustee, during the life of Kapiolani.
At her death he is to convey it abso-
lutely to the princes During her
life the queen is to receive $4,000 n
year from the rents and profits. The
remainder of the estate is to be paid
to her nephews. ....
These are exactly the conditions of
the original gift, but by putting The
property in the hands of n trustee
the queen is reassured as to those
points of management on which her
fears had been aroused. and the prin-
ces are relieved from the liability to
be charged with mismanagement or
of ingratitude to their aunt.
In the management of the estate,
Mr.. Wodehouse is given the usual
powers of a trustee

HIS ZEAL TOO INTENSE.
ENOS IRA GREENE SENT TO THE
INSANE ASYLUM.
Portland Dentist in Good Practice,
He Shipped as Stoker on the Mo-
nadnock.

E. 1. Greene of Portland, Ore, who
in his patriotic ardor shipped as a sto-
ker on the Monadnock, as the only
way open to him to get into the SER
vice of his country, was sent to the
insane asylum this morning. His
mental alteration is believed to be on
ly temporary.
Green is doctor of dental surgery,
and was in lucrative practice when
the war broke out. He has a broth
er who graduated at the Annapolis
Naval Academy and is with the fleet
that is invading Santiago. DR.. Green
tried to enter the Oregon volunteers,
but was rejected for some reason. De-
termined to get into his country's
service. he went to San Francisco, in
hopes that some opportunity there
would offer. The only chance he
found was to ship as a stoker on the
Monadnock.
He embraced the opportunity, and
was accepted in that position. But,
unused to hard physical labor, the
heat of the fire room in the hold of
the Monadnock, always over 100 de-
grees and sometimes as high as 1876,
was more than he could stand, and
he went under the care of the ships
surgeons in the hospital bay, two days
out from San Francisco. He improv-
ed rapidly, and in two or three days
reported himself ready for duty. But
his physique could not endure the
strain, and a fall from hammock
added its bad effects and he became
insane.
This morning he was examined as
to his sanity by Drs. Emerson, Her
bert and Steele, and on their report
was sent to the insane asylum. 1t is
believed that the rest he will get there
and the care he will receive will spec
Oily restore him.
His family is an excellent one and
well known in Portland.

WHOLE QUESTION CONSIDERED
THIS MORNING.
Representatives of the Planters Asso-
citation are Present and Discuss the
Conditions and Problems Presented.

The whole question of labor both
Asiatic and European, free and con-
tract, was discussed at cabinet
meeting held this morning.
This was the first Cabinet meeting
held since the Legislature adjourned,
and the Ministers were freed from
the work entailed by attendance on
that body, and could give attention
to strictly executive business.
Members of the Planters Associa-
ton were present to join in the dis
cussion of this question of such vital
Importance to the country.
1t was presented i'm a number of
phases. The effect annexation will
have was considered, as well as the
conditions that are likely to be
brought about by that consummation.
The subject of the desertion of con
tract laborers, about which there
have been so many complaints in the
last few months, was gone into. The
matter of such desertions has assum-
ed such Importance that about a
month ago Wray Taylor. on behalf of
the Bureau of immigration, was sent
to Maui and Hawaii to study the sub
Jocl Ol tlle Slouuu' lie was Sohe w
er two weeks and came back with ma
terial for an exhaustive report on the
subject.
While no definite conclusions were
reached at this mornings meeting, a
great deal of information on the sub
iect was presented in a systematic
way, so that when the subject is
again taken up practical conclusions
can be more readily reached.

HOMING PIGEONS.
Trained Birds viii be Sent With the
Transports.

The Homing Pigeon Association
now has siXty-four pigeons in train
ing and twelve pair of young birds.
1t is the intention not only TO train
them for service among the Islands,
but for use in connection with YES
sells calling at this port. 1t is the
hope, if it is possible, to send out
birds with some of the transports
which are coming here, to bring back
messages from them after their de-
parture.
Some months ago w. c. Weldon
sent to Liverpool for two pair of
trained English carriers. They We're
sent on a sailing vessel around the
Horn. About two months out. two
of them got away, but followed the
ship for thirty-siX hours, when tre-
mendous storm came up and baff1ed
them. The captain of the vessel be-
lieves they went to the Chilian coast,
as they were then about two hun
dred miles to the eastward of it. But
the fact that they We're on the wind
for the length of time they were,
shows their wonderful powers of
fight.
\ third bird. which was tied out
on deck, in the hope of coaXing the
two estrays to alight, broke leash and
was carried away in the same storm

The fourth bird carried safely and
was given the name of Albion, as a
mate brought from California later
was given the name of Columbia.

church in Liberia has arrived in the
United States on an important mis-
sion. He is said to represent the Re
public of Liberia, and is authorized,

told that there is not time now to
give the matter consideration If
Great Britain and the United States
do not consent to joint protectorate
either country will be asked to do so.
