THE ATTITUDE OF HAWAII
GOVERNMENT DECIDES NOT TO
 PROCLAIM NEUTRALITY.

An Important Matter Now Before the
 Hawaiian Senate Is an "Occupation
 Bill" Which, if Ratified, WiIl Allow
 the United States to Raise the Ameri-
 can Flag Over the Islands and Use
 Them as n Base of Supplies.
 Honolulu, May 10, via San Francisco, May 16.-The Hawaiian government will not proclaim neutrality. The gov- ernment made known it's position yes- terday at a session of the senate. An- other important matter considered at the session was the occupation bill, which, if ratified by the senate, will allow the United States to raise the American flag over the islands and use the same as a. base of supplies. The members of the senate questioned the executive regarding the measure. They were informed that masures were un- der consideration by the president and his cabinet, and that it would be un- wise to make it public at this time.
 It was extensively reported in the business community on the 7th that Spain, through agents here, was buying all the coal to be had in this island. The consul for Spain denied this. That a coal famine is imminent there can be hardly any doubt. Last weeks stocks were lower than in many months, scarcely eight thousand tons being on hand, and only one house has any coal for sale and will only consent to sell in quantities to satisfy immediate de- mands. United States Consul General Haywood has $500 tons of coal on hand at present, with two cargoes afloat bound for this port. In less than a month the United States will have more than 7,4OO tons of coal at this port.

FORMING SPANISH CABINET
THREE NEW MINISTERS SAID T0
 HAVE BEEN CHOSEN.

ofForeign Affairs, Senor Auron, NIin-
 fster of Marine, and the Duke of AL
 modOvar, Minister of Public Works
 Sagasta Urged to End Crisis as Quickly
 as Possible.
 London, May MA dispatch to the Morning Leader from Madrid says: The new ministers will be Senor Ro- mero Giron, minister of foreign affairs: Senor Auron. minister of marine, and the Duke of Almodovar, minister of public works. The remainder will form a makeshift until the budget has been carried.
 Madrid, May 16.,-1o:S0 p. m.-- Marquis Vega DeArmijo, president of the cham-
 Der, has advised senor sagasta to end
 the crisis as quickly as possible. Se- nor Montero Rios, president of the sem ate, has offered his support, but does
 not desire to enter the new cabinet. Senor Gamazo, who is ill, also declines to enter the cabinet, but he promises to support any ministry organized by Senor Sagasta.
 The general impression is that the cabinet crisis will be protracted. Senor Romero y Robledo thinks that Marshal Martinez Campos ought to be the chief of the new ministry Senor Silve1a ex- poets that the business of the quickly organized cabinet will be to carry the budget and to facilitate the formation of definitive ministry which will solve
 existing problems.
 London, May 16-A Madrid corre-s spondent explains the cabinet crisis
 which has been hanging fire for several
 weeks. The Sagasta cabinet, he says,
 came into office with the policy of hav- ing a conflict with the United States.
 This policy was popular and failed. A 1 fighting cabinet should have succeeded
 the sagasta cabinet, but sagasta for a' time objected to resigning. Finally Sa- gasta yielded to the representations of those ministers who wished to retire, | and rendered the cabinets resignation, but important political personages, who were consulted, refused to accept | the responsibilities of office. In the 1 end Sagasta was obliged to choose for l himself between the two policies, Iet- | ting those retire who objected to the policy adopted. It IS now understood | that he will choose colleagues from among those who favor continuing the struggle with all possible energy.

PRICE ON HIS HEAD.

HIS Being Asked to Pay
1t Himself.

A Georgia farmer so pleased patent
medicine firm with certificate he had
given as to the merits of the particular
nostrum that they offered to have his
picture painted, with the certificate, ON
the town hall The farmer was tickled
with the idea, and regularly sat to the
artist until the latter had transferred
his rugged lineaments to the weather
boarding of the most prominent build
ing In town. The picture was full
length, says the Atlanta Constitution.
Shortly afterward a cyclone strolled
by and scattered the town hall to the
four corners of the country. People in
different localities picked up sections Of
the farmers portrait, which had been
blown their way, and one man, knowing
how the farmer deplored the disaster,
wrote him as follows: "Tm sorry the
cyclone blowed yer pictur' so far, but
I've got good news fer you; Bill Jinkins
found yer left leg, Mart Wilkins Is got

cigarette case and cigarette paper. On

FRICTION OF RAILWAY TRAINS
A Large Amount of Air Is Dragged
Along by the Rapidly Nov
ing Cars.

Prof. +. E. Nipher has recently meas-
ured the FRACTIONAL effect of moving
trains upon the air near them, reports
the Scientific American. His appar-
atus consisted Of a hemispherical cup,
which he could fix at distances up to 30
inches from the window of railway
carriage. The mouth of this collector
was turned toward the direction In
which the train was moving at the time
Of observation, and the pressure due to
the motion was conveyed to pressure
guage by means Of an India rubber
tube attached to the back Of the collect
ing cup. The results obtained showed
that large amount Of air II dragged
along with rapidly moving train, tho
motion being also communicated to air
many feet away. The air not only pos
sesses sufficient power to cause one 70
topple over, but It also communicates
spinning motion, tending to roll per
son under the train II the nature Of the
ground does not prevent such q result.
