ternoon that the injuries sustained BY

LARGE ARMY FOR CUBA.

NEW YORK, June IA special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Not until an army of 100000 men is
thoroughly organized, drilled and
equipped, will the main invasion Of
Cuba take place. This is President Nc
KinIey's decision after carefully con-
sidering all conditions and difficulties
which an army would have to en-
counter in attacking SPANS strong
hold at Havana. When this army is
to start is a question not yet decided,
but the report of General Miles when
he returns from the present tour of
may throw light on the
subject. 1t is fully realized by the
administration that making an effec-
tive army of 100, 900 men cannot be
accomplished in a month. even if a
proportion have had some
training in the National Guard.

A. B. LOEBENSTEIN."
Report laid on the table to be con
| sidered with Senate bill No. >
The item of $4,000 for roads and
! bridges, Honolulu, carried.
Rep. LOebenstein moved that the
sum Of $40 900 instead Of $4,000 be ap-
! prOpriated for the support of the con-
| sumptives' ward at the Queens Hospi-
| tai. Minister Damon stated that the
| Legislature had not paid much atten-
! ton to the question of economy dur
| ing the present session. The sum Of
| s., 600 should be appropriated. If this
! were not enough, more could be voted
when the Trustees had handed in their
estimate
Rep. Isenberg left the room for
short time and returned, saying that
he had telephOned to Mr.. Schaefer and
had found that the Trustees had re-
quested Minister Damon to ask the
Legislature for 100000 The item was
referred to the Committee on Health
and Education. Rep. Gear went down
town to see Mr.. Schaefer and return
ed with the information that it was
the intention of the Trustees to build
the cOnSumptives' ward. The Trustees
had not the money to pay for current
expenses. The estimate was S435 per
month or s., 200 for one year. The
sum of $4,000 would suffice. Unless
the sum was appropriated it was
serious question whether the ward be
built or not.
Rep. Robertson moved that the sum
Of So 900 be appropriated as six months
of the biennial period had already
passed by and six months would eIapse
before the ward should be completed.
This would leave but one year Of the
biennial period. Further that the rid
er, making it necessary for the hos
pital to raise the same amount, be
done away with. This carried.
The sum of $4,000 was inserted as a
new item for roads in Hama, Maui.
An item of $4,000 was voted for
a new road from Wyllie street to Nun
anu Pail, this on the recommendation
of the Committee on Public Lands
made verbally by Rep. Loebenstein.
L MS was REFERRED 10 the COInuICIee Oh
Public Lands to be inserted in the pro-
per place in the Loan Bill.
Rep Loebenstein moved that, And
provided that any contract for con-
structing or repairing public work as
aforesaid, shall contain the provision
that no less than so per cent OF all
labor employed thereupon shall con-
sist Of jHawaiians or Europeans, or
BOTH" be added as an amendment.
This carried.

BOTH LAVIGNE AND
ERNIE IN FINE FORM

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-George Lavigne
and Frank Erne will fight for the light
weight championship of the world before
the Greater New York Athletic Club at
Coney Island Wednesday night. Both
men have trained faithfully, and but for
the interference of the authorities would
have opened the Hawthorne at Cheek
towaga, n. Y, two weeks ago. Since
then neither has let up on his training,
and both will enter the ring in perfect
condition next Wednesday.
Lavigne has been training with James
Corbett at Asbury Park, n. j., for some
weeks past. He arrived at Coney Island
this afternoon and took up his quarters
at a roadhouse, where he intends to re-
main until he is called to the ringside.
The Kid never looked better in his pugi-
listic career than he does to-day, and he
said he had no doubt as to the result Of
the coming bout. In addition to his regu-
lar handlers, Lavigne will have James j.
Corbett in his corner on Wednesday night.
Word was received from Erne to-day
that he is in splendid condition and will
reach here tomorrow. Kid Mccoy will
be in Erne's corner. Lavigne e the ia
vorite in the betting, but there will be
plenty of Erne none wagered.

INCREASE OF THE NAVY
TO BE RECOMMENDED
Suggestions of the Board of Con-
struction to Be Submitted
to Con oreSS

NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-A Washington
special to the Herald says: When Secre-
tary Long returns to Washington within
the next few days he will receive the rec
concentrations OF the Board of Construc
ton with reference to an increase of the
navy to be asked for at the coming ses-
sion of Congress.
The board has determined to recon-
mend the construction of fifteen sheathed
vessels, including three first class sea-
going battle-shps, each of 1880 tons;
three armored cruisers, each of 1900
tons; three protected cruisers, each of
5000 tons. and six unprotected cruisers,
each of $500 tons.
The battle-ships will be capable of MAX
ing greater speed than eighteen knots
and of steaming at least 10000 knots. Both
battle-ships and armored cruisers will
have Krupp armor. The armored cruis-
ers, being intended for high and sustained
speed. will make in the neighborhoon of
twenty-three knots per hour and will
carry several thousand tons of coal. IN
order that they may have great steam
ing radii. The 6000-ton vessels will be i'm
proved Olympias, their batteries TO con-
sist of two S-inch guns, one forward and
one aft. mounted in turrets, with a large
number of smaller guns.

CUT IN THE PRICE
OF DAWSON WHISKY

JUNEAU, Alaska, Sept. 81 (by
steamship City of Topeka to Victoria,
Sept 25).-The unexpected has hap
pened in Dawson-the delightfully."- I'M
expected. The price of whisky has
dropped to % cents drink, and there
was yell of approval which went
down the river 80 far as to cause the
four bit drinkers al Forty Mile, Circle
Rampant City and Manook to groan
with envy. This cut is said to have
been made first by Healy of the North
American Trading and Transportation
Company, and he was soon followed
by all the others This shows that
there is plenty of liquor in Dawson. 1t
is now the same price there as In
Southeastern Alaska.
One story is that saltwater Bill"
first made the cut. "BilP' is now quite
Willie" for he is not financially as
speedy as he used to be. He is part
ner in a large gambling hall and sa-
loon called the Monte Carlo. Though
Mr.. Gates has not now as much money
as formerly, he is far from being
broke" The saloon business is quiet
but Bill has small interest in two
or three claims.
Jack Smith, "Bills" partner, is
here this week. He says that Gates
claims are among the finest in the dig
gings. but that it doesn't make any
difference whether they are good or
bad; Will will blow in his money and
never have anything anyway"
"BilPs" chief ambition is still tc
pose before ladies" and gents" on the
cocktail route as man of money and
one able to spend 1t. Money is moth
ing to Il ill., f" says Smith.
Provisions enough for about three
years are stacked up around Dawson,
and though prices may not fall, they
are not apt to increase much during
the winter. Fine table d'hote dinners

SENSATIONAL MURDER
TRIAL AT VERNON, TEX
Methodist Minister Accused of Wife
Observation-Disclosures of the
Crime and Arrest

FORTH WORTH, Tex. Sept. pa SEN
sational murder trial is in progress at
Vernon. Rev. G. E. Morrison Of Pan
handle City is accused of poisoning his
wife in October last year. Morrison was
pastor of the Northern Methodist Church
at Panhandle City. One night his wife
was discovered in commissions and sud-
denly died. Her death was suspicious
and the authorities began an investiga-
ton which showed she had been killed
with strychnine.
Morrison was in the meantime arrested
at Topeka. Kan, detained forty eight
hours and released, as the laws of Kan
sas 90 not permit detention longer with
out sufficient grounds. Morrison left
Topeka, but was traced through Illinois,
Nebraska, Kansas and COLORADO and fin;
/. 1898. 1t developed that Morrison was
engaged to Miss Annie Whittlesey of To-
pcka. A letter written her by Morrison
a few days before his wife's death was
read in court, in which he addressed her
in the most endearing terms. The case is
attracting widespread interest not only in
Texas, but in the entire West.
