MORE JAPANESE ARRIVE
SEVEN HUNDRED ON A CATTLE
TRANSPORT.
The Carlisle City Comes in with a
Shifted Cargo-She may Carry Horses
to Manila

With a heavy list to starboard. the
British cattle transport Carlisle City.
Captain Thomas Aiken, arrived in port
this morning, bringing 702 Japanese
immigrants from Yokohama. The veS-
sci was reported outside as early as five
o'clock. Then she disappeared from
sight, her lights being apparently ex-
tinguished and the pilots, custom house
officials, and quarantine doctors, who
had been called up had to wait for day
light.
The Carlisle Citys list could be seen
when she was far out to sea and was
a subject of comment on shore, where
it was believed that her cargo had
shifted. Strangely enough, those on
board did not know about it until they
got near the dock. Then the captain
thought it was the 700 passengers not
being evenly distributed, the mate
thought it was the unequal emptying of
coal bunkers and the engineer said TAX
ing water out of tanks on the port side
caused it. Captain Aiken wants to get
away this afternoon.
The Carlisle City was so lightly load
ed that her propeller is about a quarter
out of the water and when 1t revolves
1t throws clouds of spray about the
stern. She was lucky enough to just
miss a very severe typhoon off the ia
panese coast. OF the 702 immigrants
on board SO are women and eight chill
dren, two having been born en- voyage
The captains wife and children ac-
company him.

| United States army transports service
| She was built as a cattle transport and
will be better for the shipment OF
horses and mules than any steamer
now in that service.
The Carlisle City brought mail, sc

at once getting the immigrants in quar-.
antine so that the steamer might leave
on time. The immigrants are one oi
the dirtiest-looking lot ever lardec

The Japanese on the Carlisle City art
all contract laborers. The quarantine
officials made the quickest time on re
cord in landing them. The steam scov
was placed alongside while the vesse
was discharging cargo and by moor

ALL OF THEM ARE FILLED, MANY
ARE CROWDED.
Next Legislature Will be Asked for
Big Appropriations-Inc of Asia
tics in the Lower Grades.

Inspector General of Schools Town
send returned by the w. G. Hall from
little over two weeks spent among
the schools on Kauai. The schools, he
says are nearly all filled to the capacity
of the school rooms. Good work is be-
ing done.
The effect of the development of Nc
Bryde plantation has already been felt
in the schools, and within a year or
two will furnish one of the big prob
lens for the commissioners of educa-
ton to meet. The increased number of
pupils due to the increased number of
laborers in the Wahiawa region has fill
ed to overtlowing the school at Hama
pepe on one side of the region, and the
school at Koloa on the other.
The Hanapepe school is so crowded
that the board will almost be compell-
ed to increase the accommodations in
some way. At Koloa the school is so
crowded that the board has already
been obliged to rent a neighboring
building which gives an additional
school room. This, together with a
Catholic school near by with about sew
enty pupils, fairly provides for the
school population for the present. But
if the Catholic school should be discon-
| tinued additional accommodations
| would have to be provided by the board.
The school at Kapaa has too many
pupils either for the number of rooms
! or the number of teachers.
1t is the expectation of the managers
! of McBryde plantation to introduce
about 250 Portuguese families, as home
steaders on to the McBryde lands with

at a conservative estimate an addition
of from 400 to 500 children of school
age, for which provision must be made

number of the school houses on Kaua
need to be replaced by newer ones
Others need considerable repairs. The
school population of the island has

new school houses, the opportunity
ought to be taken to relocate some OF

of population. These changes and the
increase from plantation development
Mr.. Townsend thinks will make the
school appropriations to be asked fol
Kauai, considerably larger than they
have ever been before.

tion,' said Mr. Townsend, lis the in.

.ORDERS FROM NKINLEY DR.. CHU PONGS PLIGHT
THREE LETTERS FROM HOME
GOVERNMENT.
British Claims Referred Back Here
With Instructions to Act-Mnister
Damon's Mission Questioned.

Yesterday afternoon Special Agent
Harold NJ. Sewall handed to the Hawai-
ian Government three letters, all of
which are quite important.
They come from Washington and are
official
The first, and most important, refers
to the claims of British and other Ie-
sidents for damages for Imprisonment
during the rebellion of 1895.
Enclosed with the communication is
the opinion of AttOrney-G Griggs
| in relation to the matter. He argues
the cases in a general way and finally
recommends that the matters be refer
red back to the Hawaiian Government
with instructions to act.
In other words the merit of the claims
is acknowledged. No individual cases
are particularly specified. 1t is recom-
mended that the local Government
make settlement of some sort satisfac-
tory to the parties.
The Hawaiian Government will first
carefully consider the opinion of the
| Attorney 1t is quite long and
contains a number of new points.
| Then, undoubtedly, each case will be
! taken up separately and reconsidered.
MINISTER DAMON'S MISSION.
The second letter. and one of great
! Importance, is in relation to Minister
| Damons trip to Italy. This comes di-
| rectly from the Secretary of State to
| Special Agent Sewall and is transmitted
| by him in personal letter to the Ha-
| waiian Government.
| This afternoon President Dole declin-
ed to discuss the communication.
| 1t is understood, however, that the
United States Government disapproves
of the mission of Mr.. Damon.
1t is stated that the Government will
first consider carefully the cOmmuniCa-
ton before acting upon it. Nothing
was done in regard to the matter this
morning, so far as can be learned.
| This is one of the most interesting OF
the letters received. Minister Damon
left here some months ago to enlist in
Italy laborers for the plantations, or
rather, to open the way for drawing
upon the northern provinces of thai
country for portion of the field labor
required here. There was at Washing
ton either a tact or positive approva
of the mission. 1t seems that there has
since sprung up some question about it
QUESTION OF TITLE.
The third letter was in relation to tn,
title of the Minister of Foreign Affairs
1t may be explained that some time
ago there was a suggestion that the
name of this Office be changed to tina
of Secretary of State" to correspond
with the custom of the central govern
ment and also with the governments o
the several States. The Hawaiian
Government called attention to the con
fusion such change would cause here
Not only the constitution but numerous
laws delegate certain powers to tn,
Minister of Foreign Affairs The bu
reau of education, with all of its bust
ness, is placed under that official.
was felt that there would be difficult,
in getting through the auditors offic,
any bills contracted by Secretary o
State" etc.
The Washington Government rule
that the point is well taken, and tina
the office may continue under its ole
title.

THE SCHOOLS OF KAUAIA TUSSLE NTH A MULE
LIVELY STRUGGLE ON INTER
ISLAND WHARF.
First Mate Nicholson of the Mauna Loa
Has a Narrow Escape-The Mule
Nearly Hanged.

First Mate Nicholson of the steamer
Mauna Loa had the liveliest fight of his
life this morning with a mule that
didn't want to take a sea voyage. There
were only two mules booked for ship
ment this time and a prompt start was
anticipated, but one of the animals
proved to be a record breaker in pow
ers of resistance and disposition to use
them. For half an hour he kept the
mate and three natives dancing around
hitching post. Then they got the
saddle" on him and the hoisting be-
gan. But the mule was not done for
yet He kicked till the saddle slipped
and before he was over the side of the
steamer he was hanging by the neck
only. 1t was necessary to lower him
and begin all over again.
A large crowd gathered to watch the
second attempt. The mule was still
ready for business. He made vicious
swipes with his fore feet, while the
spectators applauded Nicholsons nerve
for hanging on to the halter. Several
times he was almost struck by the fore
feet and once the mule veered round
and sent one of his hind heels whizzing
within few inches of Nicholson's knee
The trouble ended when the mule got
tired.
The second animal caused less trouble
on shore, but more on deck. The sad
ole Slpped at the last moment ana ne
fell on his hind legs, rolled over and
then got up and made things lively.
The two animals caused a delay of
about an hour in starting the steam sr
Mate Nicholson is establishing quite
record as a handler of mules. He viii
hang on to a mule when his assistants
keep out of leg distance. The mate has
put hundreds of mules on board loca
steamers, but he says that the hardes
case ne has tackled was the one of this
morning.

Mistake-Board of Health will not

Sirs:-A certificate of death, of a lit
tie girl years OF age who died on the
18th of October 1899, has been issued to
the Board of Health. dated October Is.
1859. 1t was badly interpreted by my
translator who is employed at the
Honolulu Chinese Times. and immedia-
tely after the death of the girl l wrote
out the cause Of death. in Chinese,
which was: she died from the effects of
being scalded on her stomach with
hoiling-hOt water. | depended upon my
translator to translate from Chinese in
to English and then l signed my name
to the certificate, but it seems he did
not translate correctly from my state
ment. This was unknown to me until
my attention was call to it today, when
found out that he wrote in another
cause of death. I hope this will rectify
the mistake.

Drs. Monsarrat and Shaw agree that
there is no great danger of an epidemic
of glanders in Honolulu, unless, indeed,
the disease should appear to extent
among the army horses and get head
way. They say that cases are found
constantly among new importations.
but thus far they have been successful
in stamping out the disease at the
start Inspections are now being most
rigidly carried on and the veterinarles
feel that there is no unusual cause for
alarm.
