To Appoint Civii Governor

The details of the proposed plan have not yet been made public, but 1t is understood that it involves the appointment of a ciyil governor by the president, and also the ap- pointment of chiefs of the several depart merits of the government, which would in- clude chief of the financial department a director of posts and probably two or three others.
 In addition the president will appoint from the leading citizens of the island, a certain number to act in d high capacity with the civil governor and the members of his council. These will be authorized to recommend any changes that may be thought necessary in the existing laws and to suggest such others as their judgment deems best. It is not intended that this form of government shall continue be- yond the time congress may see fit to egis- late on the subject, but it is the purpose of the president to give the Porto Ricans some voice in their own government pend ing such action.

In the Peoples Hands

Although the governor general and mem- bers of his council will exercise general supervision over the enforcement of any laws that may receive the approval of the president, those relating to municipal mat ters will be left largely in the hands of the people of Porto Rico. They will be per mitted to administer their own affairs, subject always to the veto power of the governor general and finally of the presi- dent. Final details of the plan have not yet been worked out, but it Is the purpose of the president to give the people of Por- to Rico, as soon as may be practicable, the fullest measure of home rule that is con sidered consistent with safety to life and property.

REGARDED AS ULTIMATUM
This is What the Boers Believe Cham
 berlain's Note to Be

London, September 12-A special dis- patch from Pretoria says the British note which was read in both raads yesterday e1uesday) is regarded there as virtual uItimatum. The correspondent says.
 Tt proposes five years franchise a quarter representation for the gold fields in the volksraad, equality for the British and Dutch in the Voksraad and equality for the old and new bughers in regard to presidential and other elections. "If these conditions are accepted a conference be- tween representatives of the two govern- ments shall follow for the purpose of draft ing the necessary measures and of avoid- ing the introduction of unnecessary condi- tions by the Transyool government or the possibility of the passage of any new bills calculated to defeat the reforms.
 Acceptance Demanded
 ''In view of the fact" the note goes on to say, that the present state of affairs in South Africa cannot be prolonged, the definite acceptance of this proposal Is de- manded without delay. Otherwise her ma- jestys government will immediately take the whole situation under reconsideration, and will act so as to bring about a settle- ment.
 oWlhB tO tIt uUu6iStdIulDB tIbdI NIT. Chamberlain's note Is to be published simultaneously in London and Pretoria, only an inadequate summary has yet been telegraphed. The London papers are in- clined to withhold comment until the text Is available.
 Despite the fact that the note is described ultimatum, the balance of opinion tends to regard 1t as a rather moderate document, since, apparently it does not fix definite time limit, leaves the reacrux of the dispute for the proposed conference and does not raise the question of suZer- ainty In a word the note seem sto leave the way open to further negotiations.
 The Times which considers the summary obviously important, says: Tt is in- credible that all mention of suzerainty and other matters in controversy have been passed over or ignored"
 A special dispatch from Pietenmaritzburg, capital of Natal, says "President Kru- ger 1t is asserted in reliable quarters, is prepared to attend the proposed conference at Capetown internationally, provided he is assured that Mir. Chamberlain's latest dispatch represents all that will me de- manded by Great Britain. A peaceful solu- tion, therefore, is highly probable"

ALABAMA-FAIR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY; FRESH WEST TO NORTH ERLY WINDS
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-12-01

Here in Hawaii we hail the mon
from the land from which the new
world was discovered. We have
welcomed the Portuguese who made
their home in Hawaii, and good citi-
zens have they made. They may
have been treated at times upjustly
and unfairly, but, as rule they are
a happy and worthy people, and the
younger generation born here and
brought up under modern ideas are
to-day the material which will even
tually prove to be the back bone OF
the Territory OF Hawaii.

Death of Old Keiki.

Another of our landmarks has
gone to join the great majority in
the person Of F. S. Keiki, an old and
we'll known native resident Of Wal
kiki. For some time past he has
been vell, but it was not thought
that his end was near, and therefore,
the news OF his decease at an early
hour this morning was great sur
prise to his friends.
He was fisherman by trade, from
which he earned quite competence,
and was carried on by him until
quite recently when his place was
taken up by his children. Several
times he ran for the Legislature but
was never successful Failure did
not deter him, he still yet perse-
yered, hoping ever to be elected
some day, until called away to the
land OF shadows. H. was high in
the councils of both of our leading
native political organizations, he be-
ing member of the executive COM
mittee of the Hawaiian Patriotic
League and the Hawaiian Political
Association. When once he made a
friend, he was true one.
In his young days, he followed the
whaling business of the day. The
old Portuguese shoemaker next our
office, Mr.. Jno. Peas, was chum of
his of those early days, about forty
years ago. The friendshios then
formed were always kept up Ivy them.
Some few years ago his wife died
and he has never been the same man
again. He leaves several children
and grand children to mourn their
loss. His funeral takes place this
afternoon from his late residence at
Kawehewahe.

That the Portuguese remember
the day is only natural. Pages in
the worlds history have been filled by
the magnificent tale of the glorious
nation that once ruled the wave. 1t
may be true to-day that Portugal is
q poor and impoverished country.
1t may be prophecied that Manifest
Destiny will soon form the two
brother nations on the illustrious
peninsula into one republic. But
the Portuguese yet glory in the flag
aud to-day they drink all over the
world merry toast to their country
and to all those whose tongues speak
the melodious language of Portugal.

Home Industry.

Deputy Marshal Chillingworth be-
lieves in patronizing home industry.
liz one OF the cells of the police
station he has distilery plant
which would do credit to Edson as
far as mechanical genius is concer-
ed. 1t will probably not add to the
credit side Of the ledger'of the clev-
er Portuguese who was arrested in
connection with the plant.
The young officer had a pretty
lively time when he made the raid
on the "moonshiner" in Kalihi val
ley. 1t came very near being bat
tie and not much OF sham one, as
the owner Of the plant pointed his
rifle at Cbillingworth and threaten
ed to do some awful "Boer" work.
Chillingworth who was dressed in a
sweater, badge and revolver saw
the fellows hand and raised him
(Charlie is learning poker) and the
moonshiner surrendered aud will
have hearing on Monday next, and
in the meantime Kalihi will be short
OF okolehao.

LUCAS APPEARS IN COURT.
Further Hearing on the Extort1on
Charge. Against Him.

Detective Lucas appeared before Judge
Mogan yesterday for examination on the
charge against him for attempting to eX-
tort money from j. F. Turner of this city
Several days ago the prosecution closed
it's case before the lower court, 1t con-
sisting solely of the Identification OF the
letters written by Lucas to Turner for the
alleged purpose of extortlng money
prove that the letters did not contain
threat and were simply written Ior the
purpose of obtaining a Settlement OF an
account which Turner contends he does
not owe a contention which Turner says
he will prove when the case gets more ad-
vanced. Attorney George D. Collins cltea
various authorities on his contention that
even though Turner. did owe the money
alleged by Lucas to be due him II was no
excuse for the alleged blackmaillng let
ters he addressed to Turner with the IN
tent of extorting money under the threat
of some unknown exposure. The law on
this point is plain, but as Judge Mogan
wished to be thoroughly cOnversant with
the facts which caused Lucas arrest ne
allowed Lucas to be examined on the mat
ter of debt. Lucas, on taking the stand,
by way of introduction to the debt ac-
count, and Turner then presented a sim
ilar receipt it being cOntended by the
prosecution that the one held by Lucas
Is none other than a copy of The original,
which was taken up by Turner, procured
in some mysterious manner not yet dis
covered. Lucas gave some further tes-
till next Thursday to give Lucas an Op-
pOrtunity to find an account book which
he claims will throw some light on the
debt account.
