PLANTATION WORkPUSHED
WHAT MANAGER POGUE Is DOING
AT KGHEL


WAILUKU, August 5.-The Island OF
Maui is busy place these days. Work
is progressing well on both the Nahiku
and kihei plantations. Manager POgue
has worked wonders with the latter es-
tate. He is up early and late and seems
tireless in his work. 1t is safe to say
that no one man in this country is
working harder at this moment than
this pucky and intelligent manager.
Ihat he will succeed in making the
plantation a great one, no one doubts.
who knows him.
At the present time several hundred
acres of land are bearing seed cane. Al
though it is not official it is understood
that before two months will have pass
ed, about 1000 acres will be planted.
This cane will mature and be ready for
grinding in December 1900. Manager
Pogue has selected a site for the mill
and expects to have the machinery
housed in about one year.
The water on l<ihei has 'been the
cause of much gossip. While the quail
ity is not as good as pure mountain
water, yet ii is far from being salt as
some people believe. 1t has a slightly
fiat taste but it is not salty. Manager
Pogue is not worrying about the water;
he says it will grow good cane and his
judgment is usually all right.
Spreckesvile plantation is going
ahead rapidly under the expert direc-
ton of w. ]. Lowrie, the man who made
Eva famous. This active manager has
pulled in any loose strings of any for
mer management. He is hard at work
planning. The company contemplates
some big improvements. one is now I'M
der way. 1t is proposed to plant a large
area of virgin soil. But water is needed
and a special ditch is now being built ia
carry the valuable fluid. This new land
will add largely to the acreage of the
Hawaiian Commercial Company. The
manager and the owners of the big
plantation expects to turn out 80, 600
tons of sugar before many seasons have
passed. II

Appetite gone, wakeful nights and

THE HONOIPU FIRE.
Foreman Pundt's Account of Its Origin
and Progress.

EDITOR starr notice in your
paper of 18th July an account of the
fire at HOnOipu in which the statement
is made that | threw water on a barrel
of lime which was stacking owing to
a leak in the roof. There is not a word
of truth in this statement
The facts are these: There were $50
barrels of lime piled up on barrel on
top of another in a very small space,
with no room to pass round them and
hardly room to crawl on top. Besides
the lime there We're also slowed in
same little room a considerable amount
of oil, coal tar and blacksmith's coal
all of which was placed there by order
of John Hind.
When | first entered the place at 81 80
the whole warehouse was filled with
steam and smoke and on looking into
the room where the lime was slowed
l saw that several of the barrels were
already burning and the whole mass
was in fact "A small volcano. If there
had been help enough on hand at that
| moment to have torn the portion of the
building containing the lime to pieces
and dumped it out, ii is possible the
main building could have been saved
but very doubtful. If there had been
Waterman there would have been lit
tie damage done as he would easily
have detected the smell of Stacking
lime. | am spoken of as day watch
man." There was no Waterman night
or day | was foreman in charge of
the place and acting under orders of
j. Hind. There was no leak in roof
There was drizzlng rain and the
strong wind carried the moisture
through a lattice door at one end of
room and the lime being piled within
five feet of said door Stacked. AS to
me throwing water on the lime, that
is nonsense; no one but a fool would
do that. When | first went to HonOi-
pu, there was Waterman, but l dis
charged him by order of John Hind.
AS the account referred to does me an
injustice, | trust you Will see your way
to make this correction. Captain and
crew of the North did what could be
done.

BRITISH FORCES WIN.
BOERS MEET HEAVY REVERSE
AT BELMONT.
Both Sides Suffer Big Losses in Killed,
Wounded and Missing British Slight
iy superior to Enemy in Numbers
Forty Beers Taken Prisoners.

A British victory in which the imperial
army lost 2225 officers and men in killed,
wounded and missing is the first result of
the beginning Of the forward movement
in South Africa Cen Methuen's col
umn, advancing to the relief Of kimber-
ley, encountered strong force Of Beers
near Belmont and drove them from their
position after fierce battle lasting many
hours.
The official report to the war office
states that the republics forces were
routed, but gives no estimate of the
Boer losses. On the British side three
officers and fifty five men We're killed,
twenty-one officers and i2tsmen wound
ed, while eighteen of the rank and sile
are listed as missing. Gen. Methuen
claims that the enemy carried away
large numbers of dead and wounded in
the retreat. Forty prisoners were taken
by the imperial forces.
The fighting appears TO have been al
most repetition OF the battle of Glands
laagte. A dispatch of the previous day
estimated that the Beers ia that vicinity
numbered 1000 and that they had five
guns, and, judging from the absence of
any statement to the contrary in the off,
cial report, it is believed that the British
were slightly superior in numbers to the
enemy.
The Beers had chosen a position with
their Customary skill and were strongly
intre:Iched. The British were obliged to
carry three ridges in succession. Appar-
emily the guards bore the brunt in carry
ing the last ridge by a bayonet charge
oft Aafa had
with shrapnel. Nothing is said as to
whether the positions SO gained We're
held, and the destruction of ammunition
seems to indicate that the contrary was
the case.
While Gen. Methuen can be congratu-
lated upon a brilliant victory, it is again
at the cost of heavy loss of officers and
men.
The secretary of war in London has
received the following dispatch, through
Gen. Forestier-W Walker, from Gen. Me-
thuen:
ATTACKED the enemy at daybreak. he
was in strong position. Three ridges
were carried in succession, the last at
tack being covered by shrapnel lnfan-
try behaved splendidly and received sup
port from the naval brigade and artillery.
The enemy fought with courage and skill.
Had J attacked later / should have had
far heavier loss. Our victory was COM
plete. Have taken forty prisoners. Am
burying good number of the Beers, but
the greater part of the enemy's killed and
wounded were removed by their COM
rades Have captured large number of
horses and cows and destroyed large
quantity of ammunition"

CAREER OF GARRETT A. HOBART
From Country School Teacher te
Vice President.

From a Country School Teacher to
Vice President.
Garrett Augustus Hobart was born at
Long Branch, ". r., June J 1Ss4. He
received his education at Rutgers Col
lege and graduated when he was ~
years old He began his career as a
schoolmaster. Later on he took up the
study of law and was admitted to the bar
in 1860. In 1871 he became city counsel
of Pater son, and in 1872 counsel of the
| freeholders of Passaic County. He rep
resented the Third district of Passaic
County in the State Assembly in 1872.
Mr. Hobart soon became one of the
| leading Republicans of his section. He
was married July 21. 1869 to Jennie Tut
tie, daughter of ex-Mayor Socrates Tut
tie of Paterson. He was reelected to
the Assembly in 1873, and at once took
the highest rank and was chosen Speak
er of that body. In 1876 Mr.. Hobart
was elected t. the State Senate, and in
1881 was elected president of the Sen
ate, and was reelected the following
| year.
During his terms in the Senate he be-
came a member of some of the most inn
portant committees. From 1880 to 1881
he was chairman of the State Republican
committee of New Jersey, and under his
leadership the party conducted some
brilliant campaigns He was nominated
in 1884 for United States Senator, but
the Legislature being Democratic, he
was defeated by John X. MACPHERSON.
He was delegate at large to the Repub-
Hcan national convention in 1876 and
yl r11aarl b.lp flf
the national Republican committee in
1884, and served until 1896, when he was
nominated for Vice President and elected.
Since his election to the vice-presidency
Mr.. Hobart had played an important
part in political affairs. Between the
President and Mr.. Hobart there have ex-
listed the most cordial relations, and the
visits between the two have been of the
most informal and neighborly character.
Mr.. Hobart was a first-class business
man and was connected with numerous
big &C ncerns. Mr. Hobart was 4 very
fascini ting man, with a pleasant face.
He always had his pocketbook open in
behalf of charity. When he located in
Paterson his entire capital amounted to
only $1.50. He worked hard and his eff
forts were rewarded by a remarkable
success.
Garrett A. Hobart was well beloved in
Paterson. He is said TO have been a
good neighbor and an honest business
man. During his illness the city seemed
to neglect regular duties to hear the news
from the bedside. and on all sides were
heard prayers for the sick man. Mr..
Hobart in health was a genial, courteous
gentleman and was most approachable.
After his election to the viee-presidency
ne remained the same to his old friends
and associates.
Mrs. Hobart has been invaluable to
Mrs. Mckinley, relieving her of many of
her trying social duties. Mr.. Hobart
has been equally valuable to Mckinley.
He was man of great tact, and his dip
lomacy has been made use of by the
President in several trying situations.
