and the United States will certainly
not leave the island until the people
are able to govern themselves. There
fore, the thinks American capitalists
need have no fear OF their interests not

1t has been matter of remark for
some time that English and German
investors have been placing consider
able capital in Cuba and that Ameri-
cans have hesitated to follow their ex-
ample. According to an official with
whom ! talked, their hestancy Ia due
to the apprehension that the future
government Of the island viii not be
stable and that in consequence their
property interests will depreciate.

Day Of Dys for Cambridge Two
Strokes Ideal Weather - Crush
Ing Defeat.

NEW LONDON, Conn, June %
Harvard won all of the boat races to-
day-three victories over Yale In three
hours-and the western sky glowed
crimson this evening when the Har-
ward varsity crew pulled over the fin
ish line half dozen lengths ahead OF
Yale. After eight years OF defeat the
students of Cambridge are tasting the
sweets of success.
Harvard's varsity eight won from
Yale over a four-mile course by six
and half lengths In 20 minutes 81
seconds.
Harvards freshman eight won from
Yale over a two-mile course by two
and a half lengths in . minutes 1874
seconds.
Harvard's substitute four won from
Yale over a two-mile course by six
lengths in 10 minutes 81 seconds.
The Harvard crew rowed "a modifi'

with some features of the stroke pulled

Oahu College Alumni, uniting with
those of Benicia Seminary and Mills
College and others. Joined In a very
pleasant reunion and reception for Mrs.
Mills, on the Punahou grounds Satur-
day afternoon. II was notable gath
ering not soon to be forgotten. Al
though thirty-fve years have passed
since DR.. G. r. Mills and his wife re-
signed and went to California. yet few
Of their Punahou pupils have died, and
of those in Honolulu many were pres
ent.
In most felicitous manner Mrs.
Mills reviewed their years Of service at
Punahou and joined the past with the
present, reviewing many forgotten
recollections of good times, and broad
accomplishment. Her remarks were
followed by others, from pupils here
and elsewhere, all Of whom gave CRATE
full praise to the valuable and sympa-
thetic work done. They have accom-
plished much on educational lines dur
ing nearly fifty years of splendid SER
vice; only now II Is no longer they, for
he has gone before, leaving the other
still working, and each year adding
more to the long list of those who will
remember Mr.. and Mrs. Mills with
gratitude. Perhaps the best and most
effective remarks were made by the
ladies', who responded most gracefully
to various sentiments.
Even with the good speeches the af-
fair would have been incomplete with
out the soulful music of Mrs. Turner
She sang with sweetness and pathos
several songs, which gave pleasure and
so revived recollections of the past
that some OF the old fellows rubbed
their eyes pretty hard-dust maybe
| However sherbets, ice cream, cake and
other good things prepared by the skill
| full hands perhaps of these same Mills
pupils, made the old fellows feel bet
ter. At least they looked cOmforted.
Among those present were Mrs
Mills. Mothers Rice, Castle, Taylor
Mr.. and Mrs. Hosmer, who acted as
hosts with their usual grace; Mr.. and
Mrs. Schaefer, Mr.. and Mrs. G. NJ
Cooke, Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Atherton

The robbery Of the Alameda specie
tank makes the fourth theft of that
Kind that has succeeded IN Australia.
From the mail steamers Taiynan,
oceana and Iberia a box Of soyerelgns
was taken. and In the case OF the
Taiynan and Oceana no trace OF the
gold was ever found; but in that of
the iberia some children playing un-
der the wharf discovered the box and
reported the matter to the police. All
three robberies were just as mysterl-
ous as that Of the Alameda, and the
robbers have never been discovered.

"Thc slow development Of the autiCi-

Union Formed in the North
End Last Night by State
Organizer Jones.

4 local union of the United Mine
Workers of America was organized last
evening by State Organizer Benjamin
Jones at a mass meeting of the North
End miners, in Leonards hall, on West
Market street.
The meeting was presided over by
William Baxter. Mr.. James was intro
duced by District Organizer Flaherty
He spoke at length on the aims and
purposes of the union and strongly
urged all mine workers TO become af-
filated with H.
He alleged that the men Of this re-
giGn Were imposed upon By the opera
tors because of the lack of organization
among the workmen. The union pro-
poses to unite not only the workers of
the anthracite district, but of the bitu-
minous district as well and then If one
should strike to enforce a demand or
to resist an encroachment, the other
Wolld not be working against it, by
furnishing coal to the region that would
have the strike. A more reasonable
price for powder and a more equit-D,e
manner Of paying Tor mining are two
of the things which the union Is phi
marily striving to establish.
T, ID. Hayes, of olyphant, also spoke
briefly encouraging the miners TO join
the union, Seventy-five signatures
were attached TO tho petition for To-
cal charter. Timekeepers and colliery
clerks are not eligible TO membership,
