Islanders Returned from Washing.
ton, D. c.
CONGRESS- WAS VERY BUSY
The Commission - Justice Frear
Pleased Paul Neumann-
Alex. c. NJ. Robertson.

Among the passengers on the Gaelic
were Justice and Mrs. Frear. The Jus
tice has been in Washington for some
time as a member OF the Hawaiian
Commission.
The only bill on Hawaii passed by
Congress was the Pearl Harbor appro-
priation OF 100000.
Justice Frear's connection with the
Commission ceased with the adjourn
ing OF the Senate.
The Justice speaks very hopefully In
regard to future legislation affecting
the Islands. The main obstacle to over
come is the desire of some to place Ha-
wall in the same category rs the Phil
ippines. This opinion. however. Is not
shared by the thinking members OF
Congress. These men are firm in the
belief that the present administration
of affairs in these Islands Is one cal
culated to meet the present needs. On
this account greater attention was paid
during the session tn matters concern
ing which immediate legislation was
necessary.
Hon. Paul Neumann returned by the
Gaelic yesterday morning.
Although Mr.. Neumann's mission was
said by him to have been on private
business strictly. still he was ut Wash
ington the greater part OF the time
looking out for the interests OF the
Islands in company with Mr.. Kinney.
He speaks very highly OF the work
done in Washington by Mr.. Kinney.
| Mr.. Neumann says that IL was owing
greatly to- the work done by MIR. Kin
ney that no measures hostile to Ha-
wall had been passed. He thinks that
ut the next session OF Congress legisla-
ton will be effected that will place the
Islands on a regular territorial footing
| In the opinion of Mr.. Neumann the
feeling of Congress. especially OF the
Upper House. is friendly toward these
Islands. The main efforts OF the hos.
tile faction is to place Hawaii in ths
same class as the Philippines.
\. G.. NJ. Robertson. who has been In
Washington in the interest of the Chi
nese who were not allowed to lane
here. returned by the Gaelic yesterday
morning.
His mission was eminently success
full. As stated before in this paper tn,
result OF his efforts was that ever,
Chinese holding n permit prior to- tn
arrival OF Inspector J. X. Brown b,

Soon after his arrival IN Washington
Mr.. Robertson made the acquaintanc,
OF Secretary Gage. The Secretary re
ceived him very cordially. stating tina
he was ready for immediate considera
ton OF the matter. In the meantim,
Mr.. Robertson made the Acquaintance
of Solicitor General Richards. to whom
he submitted an argument. Soon after
ward the opinion was handed down
the text of which has been published II

In speaking OF the attitude OF Con
gress toward the Islands Mr.. Robert

VACUUM MARINE ENGINE
Cylinder ORd
ARCTIC ENGINE oils
In January. 1899. she was
supplied at NewcaStle-on-
Tyne, England, with
10 bbls. Vacuum Cylinder Oil,
80 bbls. Marine Engine Oil.
4 bbls. Arctic Engine Oil.

The use of the Vacuum
Oils is increasing in all The
markets of the world The
explanation of this IS no
doubt in part due TO the fact
that the Vacuum Oil Com
pany uses petroleum from
wells which show no traces
of asphaltum.
Asphaltum is very injuri-
Gus to machinery. and cheap
oils containing IL should be
avoided.
A comparative test of Oils
sold in this market. on one
plantation, has resulted in ar
order for 80 bbls. of Vacuum
Oils.

STORM At HATTERAS.
Beach Il Strewn With Shipwrecks

Thirty Lives Lost.
Norfolk. Va. Aug. 24.-Thirty five
shipwrecked seamen, who had nothing
in the world but a few tatteIed and
torn clothes on their backe. some In.
jured and all miserable. arrived here
today from Hatteras, N. G. From them
1t is learned that the recent hurri-
cane, which sent SO many people to
death and destroyed vast estates in
Porto Rico, added another chapter to
it's horrors in little stretch of beach
from Kinnacoot to Hatteras. N. G.
Thirty people are known to have lost
their lives IN that district. which is
only 10 miles long, and the beach is
strewn with spars. masts and other
wreokage. The sailors say II vessels
are ashore on the coast between Hat
teras and New River inlet. No such
damaging results have attended
storm on the coast in the past quarter
of q century. Waves ran mountain
high, and the wind howled increasingly
for several days and nights at 75-mile
velocity. That not more lives were
lost IN the vicinity Of Hatteras is con-,
sidsred by the survivors nothing less,
than q miracle.

The Indians met the government forces

driven In. The soldiers were advanc.

when they reached Vicam it required a
desperate struggle before the Indians

st. Paul, Aug. 25.-The Globe this
morning. in its leader, advocates the
nomination of Admiral Dewey by the
next Democratic National Convention.
The Globe says:
"The hour has come and the man is
here. Sailing over the seas from the
far East is the colossal living figure OF
American history, man with hand
of iron, heart of exquisite tenderness,
a sense of honor which has led him
through more than three score years
along the path Of eternal right; man
who knows little of politics and has
mingled less with politicians; a man
who has decided the questions before
him with the sword and tho scales of
justice with all necessary speed and
with as much mercy as possible to the
fallen foe.
"The Democratic party has but to
make this man the magnet of the CAM
paign upon platform of living princi-
pies, the central planks Of which shall
be death to the trusts and autonomy
for the Philippines, Cuba and Porto
Rico. Upon this platform can stand
the most popular man of the Western
hemisphere. the idol Of the greatest
nation on earth, George Dewey, hero
of Manila bay and admiral of the
American navy"

Dillon, Mont, Aug. 24.-The stage
between Salmon City and Red Rock

mile inside the Idaho line. 80 miles
from here, by four men. h. T. Reil-
ney. manager of the dredge company
working on the old McNutt property,
near Salmon City, Idaho. was passen-

gold dust. which he was bringing to
Dillon. The robbers took it. The rob-
bers then mounted horses. which were
concealed in the timber, and escaped.
Sheriff Pile and Deputy Stoler have
left for Eapnock in pursuit.. /
The road makes sharp turn where
the robbery occurred. A deep gulch
crossing the road made good hiding
place. There is heavy timber on the
upper side. 1t is reported here that
Reilney offers $500 reward. The
chance for capture are very slim. The
region is mountainous and uninhabited.

DISAPPOINTED CUBANSi
Attacked the Gendarmes at
Ceuvitas, Near Santiago.
AT NOT RECEIVING PAY
Five Men Dead and Twelve Wounded
~ Result OF tho Fight-Imperfect
List Causes DISQUALIFICATION

Santiago de Cuba. Aug. 25.-Five
men are dead and IL wounded as a re-
suit OF a fight last night between gen.
darmes and disappointed Cuban SOL
diers at Ceuvitas. thee miles from
Santiago. whore the payment of the
Cuban troops is progressing. Five
thousand Cubans had gathered there to
receive pay. and after three days only
$50 had been paid. Thousands who
were disappointed at other points had
come to Ceuvitas as the last place Of
payment in the province.
The imperfect list causes great dis
satisfaction, and rumors. circulated
Yesterday. that the paymaters would
leave today. alarmed the men who had
not been paid. They began to collect
in groups and to show their annoyance.
Finally their threats became serious.
Captain Baliat, with 30 gendarmes.
was present to preserve order among
the applicants, and United States
troops protected Colonel Moale, the
officer having charge Of the payments.
Suddenly Captain Baliat, who was
mounted. was surrounded by a mob,
struck by stones and bottles. and shot
in the arm. His men, prom pity fred
volley into the mob and three presons
were instantly killed and ID wounded,
two of whom died this morning. Col
onel Moale's guard promptly surround
ed the money Office. but took no part
IN the fighting. For few minutes
there was lively conflict. carbines and
machets being used freely. Captain
Raliat was the only gendarme wounded.
The dead were colored Cuban soldiers.
This morning, payment was resumed
under heavy guard. There are rumors
that force is being organized to at
tack the pay Office, but these are prob
ably unfounded. General Castillo,
civil Governor of Santiago de Cuba.
was at Ceuvitas at the time. and soon
restored order.
There is no doubt the inaccurate list
will cause a great deal of hardship.
Many veterans have vainly followed
the United States commissioners for
six weeks, only to find that their
names are not listed. General Leon
ard Wood, military governor. does not,
however, anticipate serious trouble.

CHINESE EXCLUDED.
General Otis Determined to Keep Them
Out Of the Philippines.

General Otis Determined to Keep Them
Out Of the Philippines.
Washington, Aug. 25.-The state
department. has been informed that
General Otis has applied the Chinese
exclusion laws to the Philippines.
The information was surprise to the
authorities here. both state and mill
tarv. az the matter has been under con-
sideration for some time, and it was
not known that General Otis had put
the exclusion laws into force. The
first intimation in that direction came
in dispatch received few days ago
from the Chinese conaul at Manila,
telling the Chinese legation here that
the exclusion laws against the Chinese
had been applied to the Philippines.
The dispatch was brought to the at
tention of the state department.. and
inquiry was made as to how the ac-
ton was brought about, az the Chinese
government has been solicitous since
American military control was estab-
lished in the Philippines. that the
United States exclusion law should not
be extended over these islands. The
state department. knew nothing OF such
an extension, and made inquiry OF the
war department. The military author
tiles, however. were equally without
information - to General Otis course
in this particular.
Accordingly, the Chinese officials
were advised that any action taken by
General Otis in applying the exclusion
laws to tho Philippines was not tho
result Of istIuctions sent from here,
but was doubtless to the exercise OF his
authority az Governor-genera of the
Philippines.

WAR IN TRANSVAAL
Kruger Refuses to Submit to
England's Demand.
ONLY ONE WAY OF SETTLEMENT
HOstilfties May BE Look ed for Any Day
Anxiety in Cape Colony aud
Orange Free State.

London, Aug. 23.-There is no long
or any doubt that President Kruger
has refused to submit to the demand
OF Mr.. Chamberlain for the appoint
ment OF court of inquiry. He may
have done 80 automatically or hedg-
ingly. But that his answer is regard
ed by the British government as tanta-
mount to positive refusal, is now an
established fact. The colonial Office is
noncommittal. but there are other evil
dences which amply justify the state
ment. The report that President
Kruger has proposed new terms il
somewhat verified by the guarded COM
ment OF the colonial Office officials and
the irritability displayed there. There
is not the slightest doubt that they
now believe wal is the only way to set
tie the controversy.
They would far rather have had a
curt. defiant answer, than the temp or-
ixing answer which the Boer president
has sent. With the former Groat
Britain would have plain grounds for
a quick commencement of hostilities.
Under the circumstances, which it 10
believed now exists, aggressive action
needs considerable explanation to justi-
fy it in the eyes of the world and the
English minority who still declare war
would be an outrage. However, if Mr..
Chamberlain has is way, it is believed
President Kruger's counter proposals
will meet with scant attention. and un-
less the Beers completely back down.
which is not likely. the crisis will
quickly develop into war.
1t has developed that the war Office
has been aware Of the nature of the
Transvaal governments answer for sew
eral days and that it was commune.
Gated to the war Office, hence it is prob
able that Great Britain will delay de-
nouncement as little as possible.
A high official expressed to repre-
sentative of the press his disgust at
what he termed 'Kruger's cupidity
and hypocrisy" He said:
''The kind of game which Kruger is
playing must be clear to Americans.
The protestations Of the Beers that
they wish to live quiet agricultural
life. may be the tune Of some of the
Veldet, but the gang in Pretoria is
simply after money. Though Presi-
dent Kruger says many harsh things of
the Uitlanders, he never hesitated to
make money out Of them, either by
fair or foul means.
''This Transvaal question cannot be
judged by recent occurrences. You
must 60 back 30 years. 1t has been
hanging fire all that time, and the
sooner it is settled now the better.''
Though the official did not actually
say 80, it was clear that he believed
war was the only method of settle.
ment.
1t il learned that the government
is somewhat annoyed at the pubilo's'
slight interest in the Transvaal.
A SPECIAL dispatch from Cape Town
says there is great danger of an ont
break of violence on the frontier, and
that the scum of South Africa is en-
listing throughout the colony. and is
