HORRORS OF HAWAII
Emigrant Laborers Cruelty Treated
ON Plantations.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, July Is, 1S99-
when 1 was at Honolulu" Rabbi M. S.
Levy of this city said, i had occasion to
visit the island prison Of Oahu and my
attention was drawn to thirty-seven Gal
icians, subjects of Austria, who were
confined because they had refused to
fulfill their contracts to labor on the
Oahu plantation. They had refused to full
fill a contract entered into in Europe,
prior to emigration, to work for three
years in the Oahu plantation.
II have the original contract made by
Jacob Teper, at Bremen You will per-
ceive that it calls for three years labor on
the plantation, to work out the expenses
of the passage of each immigrant, at $18
a month. Under the contract his pay
would run only for the time he is actually
employed. If he falls sick his expenses
run again him. As matter of fact
Jacob Teper, after nearly three months
work, had incurred a debt of some IS to
the plantation.
.tThey told me they were treated with
cruelty and oppression on the plantation
and We're given such poor food that they
were unable to do the hard and exhaust
ing labor of a plantation in the trapics.
They are now in prison under an n-
definite sentence to continue until they
pay the debt or agree to go back to
work ii out on the plantation. So great
was their borrow of the seventies of
plantation life that they told me that
they would prefer to stay In jail forever
rather than go back to work for the

mans Mutual Benefit Association. of
which Engineer Lowell is an honorary
member.
The badge is Of the same design as

BAD STRIKE IN CINCINNATI
News Boys and Messengers
Distroy, Stone and
Stab.

CINCINNATI, O.. July 25. 1s99.-The
strike of messenger boys that began last
Saturday has reached serious conditions.
HOOD ms and idlers surrounded the tele-
graph and district offices today and inter-
ceptad the new messengers in different
parts of the city.
The messengers were sent out in cabs
with a policeman accompanying each
driver but stones and missileswere thrown
at the vehicles. Many of the messengers
have been seriously hurt. Two have
been stabbed, several hurt by missiles
and many have been badly beaten up.
The newsboys joined the strike today.
Great mobs of hoodlums surrounded the
newspaper offices and refused to let the
new boys go out with papers. The papers
were torn up and destroyed as fast as
they were turned over to the new boys.
AT noon the hoodlums from all parts Of
the city had gathered in such large num-
bers that the police seemed unable to dis
perse them with clubs and the use of more
effective weapons was contemplated.

OTIS CENSORSHIP.

Otis recently established a rule that any

military censor, thus adding to our diff
culties. For some reason which the CEN
sor would not explain, General Otis re-
fused to allow us to send the death of the
Monandnoekss Captain (NichoIs), for two
days after its occurrence. The General
also refused to let US send news of the dis
appearance of Captain Rockefeller (April

day The correspondents are all very
tired Of this arrangement, which simply
means that they must go out and run
large chances of getting shot, several
times week. with no chance of making
regulations because their stories must al
ways reflect Otis views.

about the situation. The resources and

misunderstood by the American papers,

being accused of treason, nor can we ten

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 25 1S99.-After

the city this morning again presents a
peaceful aspect. On all the various lines
Of the Big Consolidated system cars were
started out on schedule time. Beyond the
usual distractions Of stones, bricks and
all kinds of rubbish placed on the tracks
in the outlying districts durilng the lat

terruption to traffic during the early
hours of the day.
Mayor Farley has been notified by Adj
jutant General Axline that troops to the
number of nearly one thousand men will
arrive In Cleveland this afternoon to as
sist the local authorities in maintaining
order
The Fourth Regiment is armed with
Springfield rifles and each man has ten
rounds Of 45 calibre bali cartridges.
The carrying of arms by non-union men
has given rise to a curious situation at
the line which separates Cleveland from
South Brooklyn. a small independent
municipality on the south side of the
river. The street car crews are allow ed
in the city to array themselves like walk
ing arsenals, but across the border the
Mayor of Brooklyn, assisted by the town
marshal and the constabulary, has taken
steps which guards that suburb from
armed invasion. The officers searched the
crews of every car which came across the
bridge, but found nothing. The men had
taken the precaution to leave their re-
voivars ON the Cleveland side. On the re-
turn trip they again take possession of
their weapons

No Surrenderto the "Yaller'
Papers Their War Cry
ATTACK on a Wagon
Yesterday.


Detective Hottie and several policemen
have had their hands full during the
past few days in dispensing the crowds
of angry newsboys at the Junction. These
determined venders of t.papes'' have been
waging the hottest kind of fight against
the increase in the price Of the 'syaller
papers.
A wagon loaded with Journals" and
worlds reached the Junction yesterday
and the driver attempted to dispose OF
his wares at the increased price. Fish

and drove off without having sold even

shouts of warning were hurled aIter the
driver. He was threatened with violence
if he dared come back with the papers
unless the price was reduced.
well boys, how is the strike getting
along..s asked a News" reporter of a
number of newsboys who were congre-
gated at the corner of Washington and
Montgomery street.

This is practically the latest position in
the newsboys' strike against the WORLD
and Journal evening editions. The
boys heard this morning that the two boy
cotted papers were about to hire men at
50 a day and spread them out all over
Hudson county.
A soon as these facts were heard, 1ndig-
nation meetings were held on the street
corners and drastic measures were adopt
ed to prevent the sale of the papers In
Jersey City. The boys have even gone
so far as to threaten violence on any one
who brings the papers over the ferry.

TOOK THE C0LONEL'S PAPER
Col. Ageus Obliged to Call in
the Police to Secure
His Property.

Grand Army row occurred this noon
at Taylor's Hotel. The principals in the
trouble were Colonel F. Agens, who re-
sides in Newark. and T. J. Conroy, who
is in the plumbing business at No lSo
Avenue d, Bayonne.
Colonel Agens is quite an enthusiast in
al. A. R. affairs. He makes his head
quarters while in this city at Taylor >
Hotel About noon Mr.. Conroy entered
the barroom to get drink. He had
never met the Colonel. Agens seeing
Conroy enter the place with G. A. r.
button on the lapel Of his coat went over
to him and shook hands.
The men became engaged in a talk over
old time affairs while both were in the
service. Suddenly loud talking was heard
and the walters and hotel attendants
rushed over to the men to prevent rup-
ture if possible Agens and Conroy quiet
ed down and resumed the peaceful con-
versation.
Colonel Agens took pamphlet from
his pocket, issued by a Newark post, and
offered it to Conroy to read. Conroy put
the paper in his pocket. After ending
the conversation Colonel Agens asked
Conroy if he was through reading the
pamphlet Conroy claimed that he never
saw it. The Colonel insisted that Conroy
had put = in his pocket.
Il want that paper insisted the
Colonel.
Il haven't got it, answered Conroy.
You have 1t in your pocket.
Il have not got the paper.
Colonel Agens summoned Policeman
Hawkins of the Gregory street station
snd ordered him to arrest Conroy for
taking his pamphlet The patrol wagon
was summoned and Conroy was taken to
the station
Colonel Agens explained the situation
to Roundsrnan Higgins and added ''aIl
he wanted of Conroy was to return the
pamphlet he had taken.
II haven't got the pamphlet and you
can search me- said Conway. addressing
Roundsman Higgins.
IF you have the paper why don't you
return 1t and avoid further trouble?"
asked the Roundsman.
.I haven't got it. Search me if you

TO place the contents Of his pockets on

Colonel Agens put on his epectacles and
glanced over the papers. He found a
small roll of paper which he picked up.
This IS the pamphlet he said, as the
paper was unfolded. 7 thank you for
your trouble in the matter and l don't
want to press the charge against this
man. concluded the Colonel
It was the impression of several men
who heard the circumstances in the case
that Conroy was a very lucky man in
that he was not put behind the bars

respected citizen of Newark, with a host
of friends in this city.

STRIKERS QUIET.
Fruit Handlers Do No VOL
enc and Make No
Disturbance.

Police Captain Farrier and thirty police
men marched to the Pennsylvania Rail-
road freight yards at five o'clock this
morning to guard the property of the rail-
road from striking longshoremen from
New York and to prevent violence being
done to the freight handlers on New
York lines. The police found everything
quiet and no signs of violence The
freight handlers were shipped without
difficulty to New York.
In spite Of this fact the railroad officials
expect serious outbreak on this side OF
the river. AS the result of the confer
ence with Superintendent John Welsh,
held at noon yesterday, it is thought work
viii be stopped at noon tomorrow unless
the wages are increaser .03 an hour.
The men viii strike out of sympathy
for the New York strikers, who have
been out nearly two weeks and have made
no preceptible headway. Should the
Jersey City men strike. business along the
river front would be seriously crippled
Perishable fruit in the freight cars would
then become stalled along the tracks from
the meadows to this city and would be-
come menace to health.
Then men employed by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company are doing the
work formerly done by the New York
men. No trouble until last night was
reported when the police received word
about eight o'clock that a crowd OF
hoodlums had climbed up the embank-
ment at Warren street, and had stoned an
emigrant train that was taking the
''scabs'' to the homes in the suburbs.
Several of the "scabs" were hurt by the
missiles.
Chief Murphy was not informed of the
occurrence until it was too late to catch
the guilty persons.
This morning the Chief said
.sYou can rest assured that an
occurrence Of that kind will not be re-
peated.
Superintendent Sheppard, of the Penn
sylvailia Railroad Company, was seen this ri $
morning. He said that any reasonable
proposition from the men the company
would consider, but at the present he
could not say what the company would do
in the matter

Superintendent Ravens of the American
District Telegraph Company would not
say how many boys We're out but he
did say that the company was not in

Manager Ostrom of the Postal Telegraph
Company said there was a change for
the better in his big office at No. 20 Broad

only a dozen Of his 45 boys at work His
Office is the most important that his com
pany has in the financial district,
