AGU|NALDO IS DEPOSED
SUPPLANTED BY GEN. ANTONIO
LUNA.
United States Philippine Commissions
lish Banker in Manila Optimistic

MANILA, April $3.50 p. m.-There
are persistent rumors today that Ag-
uinaldo, the insurgent leader, has been
supplanted in the control of Filipino
affairs by General Antonio Luna, COM
mander in chief of the Filipino forces.
Luna is celebrated as being a typical
belligerent
A Spanish banker who was interview
ed expressed the fear that the proc
lamation will not reach the masses con-
trolling the rebellion because he ex-
planned, the Filipinos at Manila are
mostly domestics and clerks who have
no definite opinions and the wire pull
lers outside of the city have undoubt-
edly intercepted it.
MANILA, April 5.--620 p. m.-The
proclamation of the United States
Philippine commission was posted in
the streets, printed in English, Spanish
and Tagalo, today. 1t was also distri-
buted in the outside towns as far as
Malolos. 1t has been received with
marked attention by the natives gem
orally and has been approved by a
number of representative Manilans.
English bankers here, who have been
interviewed on the subject, are opti-
mistic upon the attitude of the Anne
ricans, assuming that it indicates that
the decisive policy will undoubtedly be
successful.

CONSTRUCTS A NEW OATH CAPT. ANKERS Missing
HE LEFT HONOLULU ABOUT A.
MONTH AGO.
Commanded the Oceania Vance-ArriV-
ed in San Francisco-Not Seen Since
March 90-Feared He is Drowned

Captain George Ankers of the three
masted schooner Oceania Vance 10
missing, and under circumstances that
point strongly to death as the cause
for the mariners not turning up. The
first intimation of the skippers disap-
pearance was his failure to be present
at the office of the shipping commits
siOner on Monday afternoon to sign
the discharges of his crew. Shipping
Commissioner Gwin telephoned to j.
r. Hanify. the agent of the vessel,
and found that Hanify was also wor-
rying over his captains not-appear-
anCe.
The Oceania Vance arrived from
Honolulu last Thursday. Captain An
kers reported at the Office and receiv-
ed orders to dock his schooner at Long
wharf, Oakland. This was done the
following morning, and Captain An
kers crossed the bay on the o'clock
boat, with the avowed intention OF
going on board his boat for the night
He had his dinner on board the ferry
boat. He was seen by two of Hanify's
clerks, who chatted with him as he ate
his evening meal They bade him a
goodnight when they boarded their
train, and Ankers started out to walk
/ from the mole to where the ship was
moored, a distance of about a mile
Ankers at that time is said to have
been perfectly sober
The wharf between the mole and
where the Oceania Vance was tied up
is in a very delapidated condition. An
kers never arrived on board and has
not been seen since. The journey un-
dertaken by Ankers is not free from
danger even in daylight, and after
dark is beset with danger at every
step owing to the numerous holes in
the flooring of the wharf 1t is feared
that the skipper fell through one OF
these death traps and has been
drowned
Ankers leaves a wife and two chill
dren, who live at Mill Valley. 1t is
said to be nearly two years since the
missing skipper was last at home. he
was born in New York city in 1S49 and
has been at sea ever since he was 13
years of age. He served one enlist
ment in the navy.
He entered the employ of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company in 1877 as a
quartermaster of the Crescent City,
running out of New York. He was
soon transferred to San Francisco as
third officer of the Carolina. He was
| later chief officer of the City of Toxic,
| City of Sydney. City of Rio de Janeiro,
| City of Peking, San Bias aud San Jose.
| He was later promoted to the command
of the steamer San Juan, but had the
| misfortune to run the vessel ashore
! about two years ago. For this he was
! Obliged to resign his position, and has
| since then been i'm sailing vessels. He
! was well known along the water front
and highly considered by his fellow of-
| ficers

MAY GO TO BOSTON.

The Australia brought further as
surance that the Hecht option on
Mal<aweli plantation stock will be
taken up. But the probabilities now
are that the stock will be put on the
market in Boston. Every inducement
is being made by San Francisco brok-
ers to have it put on the coast mar
ket. The hesitation in the matter
arises from the fact that there is a
disagreement between Hecht and Pol
litz. 1t is alleged that Pollitz
threatens to antagonize the stock if 1T
he not given certain concessions in
the deal.

AUSTRALIA AND AORANGL
The Two Ocean Going Steamers Arrive
Today.

The steamship Australia, Captain
Houdlette, arrived this morning, 6
days Is hours and So minutes from San
Francisco. Purser McCombe reports
moderate northwest and northerly
wind for the first two days out, and
from thence northeast trades and fine
weather.
The ship George r. Skolfield was at
the Oceanic dock taking on about 5000
bags of sugar from the warehouse. AS
this was expected to be finished by
noon the Australia took berth tempo
rarily at the Inter Island wharf and
moved to her own wharf later in the
day.
The Aorangi, of the Australian Cana
dian line, Campbell HepwOrth COM
mander, arrived just before noon from
Sydney, Wellington and Suva. Mr..
Mason, the purser, reports a fresh
southeast gale with high seas be-
tween Sydney and Wellington. Again
after passing the fifth parallel north
the northeast trades freshened to a
strong breeze and were accompanied
by unusually high head seas which
made a reduction of speed necessary
for twenty-four hours. The Aorangi
brings considerable freight. She has
four passengers for Honolulu and
eighty-two through.

CARE OF RUBBER TIRES.

Do not ride fiat tires. A few miles
of such treatment will damage them
more than a full seasons riding. Tires
should not be soft unless you want
them to wear out by chafing on the
rims, or have the inner tube cut by
pounding against the spoke heads. Use
care in handling the valves of your
tires. Do not treat them roughly by
screwing in the pump in hurry. Keep
them free from dirt and dust on the in
side. If a valve does not work well,
pump a drop of water through it. No
particular care need be given the
rubber. Ali rubber will wear out in
time, particularly in this climate, but
it is not materially injured by wealth
er, dirt or water. 1t is well, however,
to keep it clean from oil and grease, as
both will rot rubber. The Pacific Cy
Gle Company give all purchasers of the
'99 model Sterling bicycle an option of
any tire in the market, $14.OO Palmer
tires included.

KILAUEA ON THE COAST.
Kauai Plantation Incorporated at san
Francisco.

News was received today that the
Kilauea plantation, on the Island of
Kauai, had been incorporated in San
Francisco The capital Is fixed at
81, ,000, 900, in 10000 shares of $50 each.
The purpose of the corporation is to
buy and sell real estate and to raise
sugar. The directors Of the company
are William G.. Irwin, A. b. Spreckels,
John d. Spreckels c. A. Hugg and w.
d. X. Gibson. 1t is presumed that Mr..
Irwin and the Spreckels brothers
own the controlling interest in the es-
tate.
News received today about the big
Hecht option on Makaweli stock was
satisfactory in the extreme; that is,
provided a sale abroad is really desir-
ed by the local owners. Bert Hecht
states in his letter that there is a very
strong combine in San Francisco to
keep all of the stock, which has a cash
value of over 81, ,225, 900, and that there
is no doubt but that all will be taken
there as soon as the firm is ready to
let go. There is no longer a desire to
send it to Boston. 1t is stated that Mr..
POLITE tried to bear" Makaweli, but
has not been successful. The fact that
Mr.. POLITE when here offered $210 cash
for the same block rather gave the
bulls lever to work with.
Senator Waterhouse stated today
that on account OF certain negotiations
for other property adjoining Multi, the
prospectus of the plantation named
could not be issued until after the ar
rival of the Kinau next Sunday. There
is now hardly doubt but that the big
additional deal, which the promoter
has worked on for a week, will go
through; one more party is to come in'

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of acy other one make, This Is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
ity, easy running and simple construc-
ton. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small.
When IN need of a new sewing ma
chine examine the Singer before pur-
chasing any other make. B. Berger
son, agent, Bethel street.
