The bullet is an ugly looking, Jagged af-

the brass torn open in places where it had

After these bullets leave the gun they
heat up very rapidly. The brass expands
and bursts. sometimes before the bullet
strikes and sometimes Just on the in
slant of striking. In this case it is
thought to have exploded just previous to
entering the sergeants leg.
Along with this bullet lying in Sergt
Simms's pOcketb0ok. is another which
killed a Spaniard. It is a Krag-Jorgen-
sen steel-covered bullet, such as were used
by the American troops. This bullet is
bent slightly from having struck a stone
wall after having passed through the
Spaniard- Its end was also fiattened
somewhat, as shown in the cut. These
two bullets represent. strangely as it may
Seem, the civilization of the two nations

outlawed by treaty obligations among all

wounded as follows:

Spanish barracks at Ell Caney. where we
had been in camp for the night. About
an hour previous to this, Capron's bat
tery had opened up on FL Caney. and
Grimes's battery had moved right up on
the hin in front of Ell Paso and opened
up on the blockhouses. The Spanish
batteries replied and we fell back under
the hill until our batteries had silenced

from this house, but il had not done very

SENATOR wATERBousE SUPPORTED.

EDITOR EVENING BULLETIN
Kindly allow me space for few
words in regard to an item in your
issue Of March 2. Senator Water
house is given blowing up" for
his assault on the band sppropri-
alton. Now, Mr.. Editor, l would
state this for fact, that people
outside of Honolulu, aud perhaps
others besides Senator Waterhouse
in Honolulu, feel that the band is
purely local benefit, and as such
should be northumberland is, by
special contributions.
The maintenance of public bands
may not be peculiarly Hawaiian
policy. This we freely admit;the pc
licy is peculiarly Honoluluan. There
are certain peculiarities about
this peculiar Institution that lead
US country people to pause and
question why and wherefore we
contribute S36,0U0 of our taxes
annually to feed the musical taste
of lovers of music at Honolulu.
This when lights, roads, wharves
and landings are urgently needed
at home.
Senator Warehouses; attack is
not gratuitous Notwithstanding
Honolulu may not begrudge all
it costs the country. Why should
they? His offer to pay confirm
ton out of his own pocket for the
support of the band goes to show
that one man in Honolulu is not
willing to accept the charity of
the country at large, but prefers
to pay for his music out of his
own pocket. Give us more of
such men is the wish Of this

Will the Hawaiian coffee indus
try pay ? Most undoubtedly it will,
if pursued intelligently, even tax
ing the present condition of the
market, or even a worse one, into
account. The history Of coffee for
century shows that every fifteen
or twenty years the prices reach
bedrock through over production.
At such junctures the countries
producing inferior qualities to
large extent drop, or are dropped,
out of the competition. Then good
c1ffees rise in price and there is
profit to those countries produc-
ing such. Should the present
depression continue until Bra
lillian coffee - the dictator of the
market as stated fall as
low as two cents, Hawaiian coffee
commanding eight cents more, at
tn cents a pound, could still be
marketed at profit from estates
once placed in good condition and
working order, Here are some
conservative figures in evidence:
The cost of one acre of coffee
four years old, which is its bear
ing age-including all expenses as
buildings, machinery, etc.-will
not be more than 5000. That
amount is to be rem embered as of
capital account. The operating
expenses for one acre-cultiyating,
picking and preparing for
market-will not exceed four

There is no foundation for the
assertion that Hawaiian coffee

stated, it's supply is so insignia.
cant that it cuts no figure in the
market. Wherever Hawaiian
coffee has gone, however, there
has come back an Oliver Twist
cry for "more." This has been
the case regarding dealers as well
as private persons to whom gift
samples have been sent. Our
coffee if available in auy consider
able quantity would not be es-
teemed merely as a strong basis
for adulterating with inferior
articles and extraneous substances.
1t would take it's stand among
the choicest coffees of earth,
in demand for hotels and
the homes of private con-
sumers able and ready to pay for
the best. 1t would command eight
cents above Brazilian coffee,
which, with its annual supply of
six or eight million bags, now
dominates and fixes the worlds
market. AS to adulteratiop, more
over, it is not true tina. Hawaiian
coffee will not stand it as far as
others. With regard to adulters-
ton with foreign matter, that is a
matter that is being attended to
now, in most we'll regulated
countries, by official food inspec-
ton. A dealer in San Francisco
this last year went to Jail for
selling a spurious coffee.
