T. ". Hebron has lately been send
ing big rush orders TO the Taroena
factory at Wailuku, Maui. Here is
prepared what has been recognized as
one Of the greatest good products ever
put on the market. The taro is cooked,
then made into a granulated -four and
with the addition Of water or milk is
ready for the table The sale for
KlOndike use has been very heavy at
San Francisco and Seattle and a ship
ment to replenish these depots goes
forward by the S. S. Zealandia this

from here and Senator Helm and others
will follow suit. The Taroena has
several qualities that recommend it
above all other condensed or evapor-
ated foods. 1t never spoils, it sustains
and it keeps the digestive organs in
trim. Mr.. Hebron believes that tons
upon tons Of Taroena will eventually
get into the Klondike country. The
demand from hospitals in the United

The issuance of the Imperial ukase
ordering the extraordinary expenditure
of so, 100000 rOubles for the conStruc-
ton of Russian warships, marks the
third great stride in preparation for
war this week. This, together with the
British and American votes for money
for the purpose of defence, means that
the three powers have assigned the
aggregate of S240,00O,000 for naval ar
mament since Monday.
The total naval appropriation for the
year by the British Government
f23, rs, 000-has never beeen exceeded.
The nearest approach to that amount
was in 1914, when f23, 504 900 was ap-
propriated for the use Of the navy.
Adding this years naval appropriation
to the army estimates makes over
$4,000, 900 to be expended on British
defenses for the year, exclusive Of the
amount to be spent on the Indian
army and the armies of the self-gov-
erning colonies.
The naval estimates include many
for making great extensions OF the
docks of Gibraltar, Portland and Dover
and show that surveys are in progress
for works at Bermuda, Jamaica, the
Island of Mauritius and the Cape Of
Good Hope.

POLICY OUTLINED

LONDON, March 10.-The Times re-
CARDS the news from Pekin as compare
lively reassuring. It says: An inter
val may occur during which diplomatic
means may be employed to avert i'll
considered action on the part of our
rivals. II delay of an duration has
been actually procured, Sir Claude Mae
donald, the British minister, may be re-
lied upon to make the most Of it in
the interests of peace
I'm ether respects the position in
China seems as far from improvement
as the position in West Africa. If the
report from st. Petersburg that Russia
will decline 10 give Great Britain the
information she asked be correct, the
nation cannot be blamed should they
put the worst possible construction on
the refusal. Those most familiar with
public opinion throughout the country
will be the first to recognize that the
present temper of the people is not to
be trified with.
AT no time since the Crimean war,
not even at the moment when the spe-
cial squadron was organized in Janu-
airy, 1897, have they been less disposed
to brook infringements from any quar-
ter on their just rights. They are per-
fectly convinced of the justice of theiI
cause and the magnitude of the issues
at stake, both in China and West Afri-
ca. They believe that it may become
their duty to vindicate that cause in
each region, and if such duty should
be thrown upon them, by the blindness
or perVersity of others, they will not
finch from it.
I'VE do not make this assertion in
any spirit of bravado or from any de-
sire to rouse the warlike feeling Of the
country We make it in the true in
terests of peace, because the greatest
menace to peace lies in the danger
that our rivals may fail to believe that
we are in earnest until it is too late
Foreigners do not appear to realize
the business view We take of war as Of
other matters where our business in
terests are concerned Our conduct is
regulated mainly by business consid-
erations. If the prejudice done us is
slight, we may resent it, and yet pass
it over rather than face serious losses
which, as we we'll know, war must al
the best involve to our trade; but if
the prejudice done or threatened is very
grave and irreparable, we are ready OF
the two great evils to choose war as
the lesser.
I'VE submitted the actions in Tunis
and Madagascar and West Africa
which we should have been quite JUS
titled in resisting had We thought it
worth while. 1t seems to have been
inferred in some quarters Of the con-
tinent that We will submit to any
amount of wrong without resistance
Sir Edward Grey pointed out al
the beginning Of the session that this
was a very serious mistake. Questions
about Madagascar and Tunis, he OBJ
served, were not of sufficient intrinsic
Importance to lead to a breach Of peace

"CoRNsTALK DISEASE"
IN PENNSYLVANIA
Trouble Among Cattle in Franklin County,
Pa, l. Not Anthrax. "a Wa
Feared.

Chambersburs. Pa, Dec. 20.-VeteFina-
rian j. J. Repp. of Philadelphia who has
been making an investigation of the dis
ease among cattle in the western and
northwestern sections of Franklin Coun-
", has made public the result of his in
quiry He finds the disease TO b toxae-
mia maids, or ''cornstaIk disease.
1t was thought that the disease was an
epidemic of anthrax which is not only
fatal TO cattle, but to human beings,
whenever il attacks the latter.
DR.. Repp says the ''cornstalk disease
has only recently been made the subject
of investiga ton in the United States and
that its origin has not Vet been fully es-
tablished. Some authorities claim it is
caused by microbes; others say it is pro
duced by a fungus. which grows on the
leaves and stem of the cornstalk- He
recommends that fodder be fed sparinsly
to cattle until they become accustomed
to it. The case is reported of a steer that
died on the farm OF B. F. Newton. at
Pleasant Hall this county Veterinarians
who made an investigation. fearing the
disease was anthrax. say they found
nearly two quarts of sand in the ami

COLORADO GOLD FIND
DISCREDITED BY MINERS

Denver, Col. Dec 20-Some tliscred.t is
cast upon reports of the discovery of a
vast new gold field near Canyon City.
While about two thousand people have
gone to the district in the last few DAYS
there is no confirmation of the first story
which, however, is held to be genuine by
local authorities
President Peabody. Of the Canyon City
Bank, says he believes in the statements
of the discoverers but is not disposed to
encourage any ventures without further
Substantiation.
Another and more potent factor in the
present agitated condition of the public
mind is that the Dawsons and D. B Bon
ewitz interested in the Copper King, de-
cline to allow any one to investigate their
property with a view to establishing the
truth or falsity of the reports The
and guard is maintained over them. so
that no definite information of their as
sertion was forthcoming
Leading capitalists of Cripple Creek,
Denver and Pueblo proposed to make a
thorough examination of the district in
the interests of the hundreds headed for
the gold fields. They could not get any
satisfaction. but one of the committee
says he knocked a piece of rock off an
overhanging cliff which glistened with
free gold. He says the superficial ap-
pearance is enough to warrant the state
ment that Dawson City has come to
stay but, veteran prospectors are not
coiftented with that mere assertion and
demand more tangible evidence.

HAVANA BANKERS CALL
FOR FINANCIAL HELP
PLAN TO PROTECT BORROWERS
Petition to the President to Have Ameri-
can Gold Circulated Above Its
Face Value.

race Sdlue.
Havana, Dec. 2O.-The business men of
Havana continue disturbed in mind over
the condition of the islands finances,
fearing that the radical changes in money
values which the Americans are expected
to make will involve them in heavy losses.
The Havana bankers united Saturday in
forwarding to President Mckinley a pro-
test against the plan to disturb the pres
ent values of money. They recite briefly
that in the past large amounts have been
borrowed from European money lenders
in Spanish gold, with the provision that it
here 1000 centens, the borrower would give
note for $500 in Spanish gold.
Under the valuations the Americans de-
clare will be placed upon the centen. the
borrower will find himself compelled to
add six per cent to his Indebtedness, while
the money lender is presented with sixty
centenes by order from Washington
The bankers emphasize the fact that
this condition is greatly to the disadvan-
tage of the borrowers, a class that must
be protected if prosperity is to return to
Cuba.
unfortunately for themselves the bank
ers and business men here are unable to
unite in recommending some means of
ayerting the difficulties which confront
them Many schemes have been proposed,
only to be rejected by the majority
The only recommendation TO President
Mckinley the bankers did agree upon IS
that the Spanish centen be left at tne
present value of $3.50, while an order
should be given that the American hVe-
dollar gold piece be accepted ar the Gus
tom house at the fictitious value OF YOU
If thus received in the Cuban custom
houses it would give the coin ~ per cent
premium all over the island.
While this recommendation has been
made those proposing it profess no beiief
that it will be accepted. owing 10 the SIM
pie reason that the greatest effect OF their
remedy would be to reduce customs duties

FILIPINOS ANXIOUS.
FOR PERMANENT PEACE
THEY WOULD ACCEPT AUTONOMY
DESTROYS Of Local self-Government Under
the Supervision of
America.

Paris, Dec. 20.-The Manila correspond
ent of the European edition of the Herald
telegraphs as follows:
The authorities in Washington should
decide quickly upon a definite policy In
regard to the Philippines.
Every day the situation grows more
complex. The natives do not understand
the cause of the delay by the Americans
in ratifying the Treaty of Peace and are
keeping up the army OF the Republic,
which is a detriment TO the country
An autonomous government, such as
that TO be established in Cuba, would suit
the Philippines. The Filipinos are more
competent than the Cubans in this re-
spect.
A freer exchange of ideas with Aguin-
aldo is necessary. The plan of govern
ment desired by the Philippine 'Repub-
lic," which amounts simply 10 local self
government under the supervision of the
United States. would probably be approx
ed at Washington IL its details were
known.
This plan has the support of the Ameri-
cans here and of the influential natives.
All the Fflipinos desire is peace.
The Filipino representatives should be
landed proprietors. Their interests are
identical with those of the Americans.

Gated, while the women. children and
aged, as well as the invalids. were driven
into the towns. Frequently they were
shot and sometimes they were tied to the
horses of the soldiers and dragged along
the rough roads.
The policy of determination was deliber-
ate. 1t was no mere accident that there
was no food for the innocents in the
towns where they were condemned to re-
main. Even after American protests had
caused the removal Of Weyler and
the reconcentrados We're told they might
return TO their homes, anybody who pass
ed through the lines was shot within
sight of the Spanish reserves by the SEN
tries or by prowling bands of Spanish
soldiers. In every war there is a vast
amount of unavoidable suffering when
there is an invasion; and the families of
men who enlist in the army often lack
the means of living. But such afTliction is
not TO be compared to the horrors of
Spanish warfare as revealed in Cuba in
the Philippines and in the war against
the Carlists i'm Spain itself. No other

1t is TO these same Spaniards that the
un-American few would return the people
of the Philippines, who have been in re-
volt against Spanish tyranny 1t is true
that some of them suggest the indepen-
dence of the islands, but the impracti-
cability of this is obvious Nobody of the
least authority in opinion believes the
islands are capable of governing tlfem-
! selves. To give independence to them
would mean that we Should have to be-
come responsible for the stability of the
republic against ambitious and unscru-
pul0us native adventurers and against
foreign schemers who would enter into
a rivalry for their possession. This would
certainly involve us in foreign entangle-
ments and it would be quite as bad for
the people as to return them TO Spain,
against which government they would in.
stantly renew their revolution From
what the Spaniard has, done in Cuba we
may know what he would attempt to do
in the Philippines to subdue the rebels
and satisfy his enormous appetite for

The Murdered Gnhans-

Il have been informed by responsible
citizens and foreigners" says General
Davies, the American commander in Pi-
mar del Rio province. that one-half the
former population of Cuba has been kill
ed or starved to death This would
mean some seven hundred and fifty
thousand, or three quarters of a million
people In none of the modern wars have
so many persons, particularly non-com-
batants, met with death. There is only
too much reason 10 accept this statement
of Cuban mortality as true 1t is known
that more than a quarter of a million
people starved TO death in Havana pro-
vince alone after Weyler's appointment
and before American intervention. The
horrible thing is that these deaths were
not unavoidable-not the ordinary conse
quences of a state of war-but were cruel
ly designed and implacably promoted by
the Spaniards. 1t is recalled that the
mayor of Havana who visited this CONN.,
Try announced with satisfaction that the
insurgents and all who belonged with
them would be suppressed in a way to
prevent any future rebellions Even be-
fore Weyler's policy of slaughter was
adopted, the lives of the women and child
ren in the country districts were in dam
ger from the lawless bands of Spanish
soldiers who were applauded for their
savagery. On the issue of Weyler's proc
lamation of concentration, the homes
and crops of the Cubans were destroyed
and all their movable property confis-
