APPEAL TO THE GOVERNMENT
FOR RIVER PARK
Children in Great Need of the Propos-
ed Recreation Grounds-Prays That
Work Begin Now.

The directors of the Free Kinder
gartens held a short meeting this
morning to close up the business of
the month. At $3.50 reports from all
of the schools were received and read
in turn. All were quite interesting.
There was one general statement
from all the schools, which provoked
some merriment. 1t was: The
schools are unusually small at pres
ent on account of the measles" This
is taken as a mere passing misfortune
however and will likely not obtain
next month.
The most important business was n
decision to memorable the Minister of
Interior on the subject of River park.
Though authorized and ordered by
the last Legislature, nothing has yet
been done toward establishing the
play grounds. It is i'm the kindergar-
tens that the urgent need for the park
is felt The Minister will be asked to
begin work there as soon as possible

CONCERT \ STCCESS.

The receipts for the Bishop Home
concert last night were $500, and there
are still possibly some tickets sold not
reported. The piano which is alrea-
dy at the home, cost 500. The eN-
penses in connection with the hall,
the use of the hall being given by Mr..
Desky, were about S25 So that n
little more than what was absolutely
required has been realized.
The result is very creditable to w.
Horace Wright, who proposed the mat
ter, and has worked diligently to ear
ry it out; to Wray Taylor, who has
given so much time and zeal to it; to
all who took part in the program, and
to the public which has so generous
ly supported it.

Wilson & Whitehouse Get Contract for
Piping.

In looking over the tenders for wa
ter piping at the Interior office on
Wednesday the officials failed to note
a bid of Wilson & Whitehouse for 10
and s inch piping f. o. b., San Fran

that the contract was declared in fa-
vor of Crane Co., of San Francisco, at
$2S.75.
Wilson & Whitehouse naturally
came down with big kick. They were
manifestly right, for their bid was
in good form. The result has been
that the award has been changed and
the contract let to the local firm.

comments on Senator Baldwin's
speech at the meeting of the Planters
Association, that it is evident the plan

should like to be informed by yourself
or Senator Baldwin why, if the plan
ters desire no advantage, they peti-
toned the Hawaiian Commissioners to
give them the privilege of importing
contract laborers, which they can get
at total cost of $1,000 per month,
while the California and Nebraska
farmers, who raise beetS, must pay
$50 to $50 per month for their labor
ers, and furnish board and room be-
sides? Why not employ American la
borers on the sugar plantations?
There are thousands of good healthy
Americans who work during the sum
mer months at $12 to SIS per month
! refer to the middle and eastern
states such cheap labor not being oh,
tainable in the western states. The
planters who have been prating so
loudly of their Americanism are eX.
ploring Corea, the Philippines, Russia
and Italy for laborers, in addition &c
their perennial sources of supply, ia
pan and Portugal. Meanwhile the
American laborer, who attracted by
our genial climate, comes to these Is
lands, finds himself persona nor

NO OFFICIAL CUBAN NEWS.
United States Has No Representative
on the Island to Send In
formation.

Washington. April Enquiry at the
state department discloses the fact that
the United States has no representatives
in Cuba upon whom it can depend for Of
ficial information in regard to the progress
OF events on that island, and that it will
be compelled TO rely. until other arrange
ments are made upon the representatives
Of the Spanish government for information
in that line. According to an official at
the department, the British consular Off
GERS in Cuba are expected only 10 care for
the archives and property of the United
States consulates turned over to them on
the departure of the American representa-
tives Saturday. and to look after the in
terests of Americans still on the island
who may apply to them Tor protection or
redress.
1t is said to be no part Of their duty to
keep the United States state department in
formed of political or other developments
in Cuba, and that the department will not
call upon them for any special service or
information unless 1t becomes absolutely
necessary by stress OF circumstances. It
is more than probable, however, that, If
anything important should happen in which
the United States has direct interest, the
British consular officers might consider it
an act of friendship or comfy to bring 1t
to the attention of the secretary of state.
either through the London foreign Office
or the British ambassador at Washington.
This roundabout way of getting informa-
ton, involving, it would. considerable
delay, might prove embarrassing if the ma
ture Of the circumstances was such as to
require prompt action.
Notwithstanding this apparent lack of
facilities for obtaining official information
of affairs on the island. the officials of the
administration express confidence in their
ability to keep properly informed Of the
course of events in Cuba, especially with
reference to the developments which may
result from the proposition of Spain for the
cessation of hostilitieS on the island. AL
though the general impression is that the
insurgents are not at all likely to accept
the proposed armistice, the department
officials express confidence of getting de-
tails of the progress Of negotiations to that
end from reliable sources as promptly as
the slow means of communication in the
interior Of Cuba will permit.
