HAWAII IN THE WAR.
Cabinet Refuses to Deny Sensational
Coast ,Rumors.

Members of the Cabinet refused
point blank this morning to either
deny or affirm the rumor from The
States that this government had "fTcr-
ed the Islands to the administration
at Washington as base of opera tioas
in the war with Spain.
Mr.. Cooper said: II know nothing
about it," which meant merely hat
he did not wish to answer the ques-
tion.
Mr.. Damon was equally guarded.
Mr.. Smith was perhaps as SphynX-
like, but is trife more free in his
expressions of personal friendship for
the United States in the war.
1t is certain however that American
troops will be allowed directly and
openly by the government all the
freedom of this port. They will be
sold all the food supplies and coal
they can carry off, and will be render
ed any other assistance lying within
the power of the people.

BYRON D. CLARK THE MIN
COMMISSIONER OF
AGRICULTURE.
Is New Man but Good One-Board
was Unanimous in Choice-Mr.
Clark's Career.

Byron o. Clark was this morning
appointed Secretary and Commisslon-
er of Agriculture to succeed Joseph
Marsden, resigned.
The meeting at which the appoint
ment was made was held in the Inte-
rior Office at @ 9o'clock. Present were
Minister Cooper, T.. w. Jordan, Thorn
as j. King and j. A. Hassinger. The
latter oficiated as secretary. The
choice of Mr. Clark was unaimonus.
There was one other candidate for
the honor and the commissioners hes
itated long time between the two
names. David Hughes had been in
the employ of the department for sew
eral years and now holds the posi-
ton of uperintendept at the nursery.
He is considered quite competent and
trustworthy, but in the position of
Commissioner it was desired to place
man with wider range of theoret-
ical and practical experience.
Mr.. Clark came here less than a
year ago from Southern California,
where he was engaged for years in
farming and editing one of the fore
most agricultural journals of that
state. His father was one of the pio-
neer raucbers of California and intro
duced there some of the species of
grapes which have made that region
famous for vine products. From his
father, as well as from course of
training in an agricultural school. Mr..
Clark obtained the ground work of
an education which. it is believed, adj
mirably fit him for the important Gu-
ties he will assume. To this coun-
try the Commissioner brought the
best of letters from prominent peo-
pie.
A short time after reaching Homo
lulu Mr.. Clark bought the lease Of the
truck farms at Pearl City, then op-
Grated by Mr.. McLain. His California
ideas were put into force there with
the very best of results. Very soon
this market was being supplied with
the finest of tomatoes, squashes, etc,
which it had previously been neces-
sary to import from the Coast
Mr.. Clark will be commissioned by
the President on Monday and will
take charge of his Office at once. 1t
may be said in passing that the new
Commissioner took out his denization
papers as soon as he decided. six
months ago. to make Hawaii his per-
manent home.

WANTS THIRTY THOUSAND
KAIIAULELIO GETS RECKLESS ON
PRESIDENTS SALARY.
Private Lands Bill Passed Third Read
ing-Oahu Railway Gets Needed AS
sistance by Extension of Time.

y resolution was introduced by
Representative kahaulelio this morn
ing to the effect that the salary of
the President be increased to S3O,0 900
for the biennial period. The subject
brought forth considerable discussion
from various members, and when it
was put to vote to indefinitely post
pone the resolution it was found that
the introducer was the only one VINO
had voted for it, eleven votes being
cast against the increase.
The Finance Committee submitted
a substitute bill to the one now be
fore the House to amend the law re
lating to weights and measures, which
passed first reading and was referred
to the Printing Committee.
House Bill No. 50. to extend certain
provisions of the Land Act of 1895, to
private lands, was on for third read
ing.
Representative McCandless moved
to indefinitely postpone. He thought
that the bill was in favor of some pri-
vate estates. The government had
lands of its own to sell. Why should
it take private lands in competition?
The government had no right to go
into the real estate business.
Representative Loebenstein did not
consider that the bill served any prac-
teal purpose. lie did not believe tnat
the government should take charge OF
private estates. 1t would be only the
poor land that would be thrown upon
the government The time had not
come when the government should sell
private land, nor should tax PAYERS
money be used to survey private land.
He cited where the government lands
had been surveyed at loss. and
where the influence of people who had
pull with the Executive had really
injured the public.
Representative Robertson said that
when he first saw the bill he did not
like it. He then changed his mind on
second reading. He thought that any
thing that would help the cutting up
of large estates was an advantage to
the community. 1t would tend tow
ards opening up and putting the land
into the hands of small holders who
would cultivate it.
Upon motion of Representative Is
enberg, the bill passed third reading
by a vote of 12 to 2. Representatives
McCandless and Loebenustein cast the
only votes against it.

ENGLISH ESTIMATE OF DEWEY.

LONDON, May 4.-Vice Admiral
Philip Howard Colombo, retired, the
inventor of improved systems for sig
mailing at sea and the author of
number of naval works, in an inter
view on the subject of the splendid
victory of the United States fleet at
Manila, is quoted as saying:
Il doubt if there ever was such an
extraordinary illustration of sea pow
er. a superior fleet has attacked and
beaten II Spanish fleet supported by
batteries, and has taken up an unas-
sailable position off Manila. The
boldness of the American commander
is beyond question. Henceforth he
must be placed in the valhalla of
great naval commanders. Nothing
can detract from the dash and vIgor
of the American exploit or dim the
glory which Dewey has shed upon
the American navy. 1t may be bad
for the world, for assuredly the Ame-
rican navy will never accept a subor-
dinate place after this exhibition OF
what it can do"
