HAWAIIAN TROUBLES
THE COMMISSION WILL HAVE ITS
HANDS FULL
Land Claims That Will Be Difficult to
Settle-Queen Lil's Demands.
The Crowns Claims

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 6.-The Ha-
waiian commissioners when they meet in
Honolulu to adjust the government of the
islands will find some thorns in the pa tn
way of their investiga tions. Probably the
most important matter with which they
will have to deal is that Of land titles.
By annexation the United States has be-
come possessed of large tracts of land
which will be added to the public domain.
OF these the crown lands are a part. 1t
will be the duty of the joint commission to
ascertain what title the United States can
give to intending settlers in this new ter
ritory.
Former Queen Liliuokalani has gone
home for the purpose of pushing her al
legged claim to the crown lands, probably
on the strength of the act of July 3, 1865,
which, after providing for the organiza ton
of the crown lands commission to manage
the crown estate. declares in unequivocal
terms that these lands are inalienable and
guarantees the income from them to the
crown for all time.
A far Sraver complication awaits the
action of the commission in the historical
Ladd & Co claim This contract and the
Belgian contract are among the most inter
esting incidents of Hawaiian history. The
running of the house of Ladd & Co. through
the influence brought to bear by the gov
ernment of that time was perhaps greater
scandal even than can be laid at the door
of any of the numerous Gibson govern
ments.
The firm of Ladd & Co. was at the time
the largest and most influential business
concern in the islands,
A suit for $4,000 damages was begun
by Ladd Co. against the Hawaiian gov
ernment, but the heirs of the partners In
Ladd & Co. have never been able to OBJ
tain satisfaction. The principal heir is
Col. VIM. c. Little of this city

Redlands Jottings

REDLANDS, Aug. 6.--Last evening as
F.. H. Spoor was getting into his buggy
at his residence on the Terrace, his
horse took fright and got away from
him. The animal ran into A. G. Hub
bard's barn, completely demolishng the
buggy. The barn and the horse escaped
injury.
There is a rumor that Justice Warren,
who failed to secure the nomination for
Justice on the Republican ticket, Will
run on the Independent ticket.
The Redlands branch of the Red Cross
society is collecting funds and forward
ing to headquarters for the purpose OF
assisting in paying the nurses to be sent
to Manila.

TO OPEN SHOP IN SANTIAGO
Exiled Business Men to Return-Pro-
visions Will Pour In

The steamer Philadelphia, which sails
from this port on Saturday afternoon for
Santiago, will carry a large supply of pro-
visions. The scarcity of food there, owing
to the long investment of the city by the
Cubans and the decisive siege by the Amer
lean forces. opens a good market for all
sorts of supplies, and the American dealers
are not slow to take advantage of it. In
many cases goods will be taken there on
speculation by Cubans or Americans. who
VIII invest their small capital in non-perish-
able foodstuffs. Rents in the surrendered
CITY are known to be very low, and 1t is
expected that the great demand for provis-
ions Will yield quick and large returns on
the investment. 1t is taken for granted
that the residents of Santiago have money
and, in general way, this is known to be
so. The destitution in the city has been
due principally to the impossbility of get
ding supplies into the town. and not because
Of a lack Of money to buy whatever the
market afforded. Among the Cubans out
side the city. but in the province of Santi-
ago especially, the case has been different.
They have had neither money nor supplies
The speculation. however, will do but a
small share of the business. The New York
wholesale dealers and commission mer-
chants, who had branch houses In Santiago
before the war began and were then obliged
to shut up shop, will at once resume bust
ness. This is the case OF c. +. Ferrer 4
Bro, commission merchants of 80 Broad
street They have large warehouses in San
tiago and did big business in general sup
plies before the war began. They also own
large lumber tracts in Santiago province.
Joaquin Ferrer was in charge of the San
tiago house, and was forced to leave be-
cause of his known sympathy with the Gu
ban cause. Mr.. Ferrer Is booked to return
on the Philadelphia on Saturday, and will
not be surprised to find that the supplies
which he left in warehouses in the city
have either been confiscated or destroyed
by the Spaniards.
The Santiago agents of other American
firms have been waiting in Kingston, ia
maica, for chance to return to the city.
and they will be there in time to receive
the goods sent from here.-New York Sun.

RED CROSS WORK
THE TRAINED NURSE AUXIL.

Such as Come Up to the Army Stand.
ard Will Be Gladly Accepted for
Hospital Work at Once

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The Tribune will
tomorrow publish the following:
DIR. Anita Newcombe McGee, director In
the hospital corps, has been comforting with
Mrs winthrop Cowden, acting president of
the Red Cross society, for the maintenance
of trained nurses auxiliary to the American
National Red Cross relief committee for
facilitating the placing Of additional nurses
in army hospitals.

service commission for him, selecting prop
erly trained nurses for army services. Be
sides the mmunes in Cuba, about loo wom-

at work in the general hospitals where ac-
commodations could be given them in>the
hospital buildings. In addition 10 these. a
number of Red Cross nurses are serving as
volunteers in Certain hospitals.
The surgeon general has now decided that
these nurses, like all others, shall be certi-
fed by DIR. McGee as conforming to the
army standard and be officially enrolled.
At the same time he has gratefully accept
ed the offer of the Red Cross auxiliary for
The objection to the employment Of women
in these temporarily erected hospitals has
been based solely on the difficulty in pro-
viding for their accommodation, and now
that this is obviated, they may be sent TO
such hospitals as soon as the surgeon re-
quires. BY the skillful ministrations Of
trained nurses, which are so essential in the
treatment of fevers, an untold number of
lives may be saved. 1t is therefore source
OF congratulation to all concerned that
