.SHARPSHOOTERS
ARE VERY ACTIVE

Manila, Feb. 24.-4:44 p m.-The en-
emy's sharpshooters have been particu-
larly active about Caoocan all day.
Special attention was paid to the three
gun battery near the railroad and the i'm
provement of rebel Workmanship was
very noticeable. The rebels fired volleys
at the battery, the bullets frequently
skimming the tops of the sand bags.
A lieutenant of the Goth Kansas volun-
teers and three other men were slightly
wounded. A man was killed in the
trenches today.
The rebels battery has not been used
since a shell from the Monadnock ex-
ploded over it yesterday.
The enemy's fire was so hot during the
night in the vicinity of Higgins house
that headquarters was removed to a
church four hundred yards inside the
line.
A few small fires have destroyed sew
eral native houses in the outskirts of the
city. The goth infantry is being disem-
barked from the transport Scandia.

LEASE TO FRANCE
WAS REPUDIATED
BRITISH AUTHORITIES FORCE THE
SULTAN OF OMAN TO COME
TO TIME.

Bombay, Feb. 24.-Important details re-
ties at Muscat, the capital of the sultan
ate of Oman, have just become public. 1t
appears that the news of the lease by the
sultan of Oman of a coaling station to
France on the coast of Oman leaked out
while the British political agent at Mus
cat Major Eagan. was absent He
promptly returned to his post but the
sultan refused to furnish him with any
| information. The commander of the gun
| boat Sphinx thereupon dispatched lieu
tenant and armed party to Bandar Josh.
But the sultan, hoping to receive aid from
the French, continued to be recalcitrant.
The arrival of the second-class cruiser
| Eclipse, flagship of the East Indies sta
tion, with Rear Admiral Drummond on
board, threw the sutan's subjects into a
panic though the sultan himself remain
ed obdurate. During the morning of
February 16, Admiral Drummond sent
word ashore that unless the sultan at
tended durbar on board the Eclipse at
2 o'clock that afternoon he would bonn
bard the forts at 2:20 p. m. Notice of the
admirals intention was sent to the for
eiSn cOnsuls and the town was speedily IN
confusion. The advisers of the sultan en-
treated him to submit Sand the Eclipse
| took position broadsde to the town,
while the other British ships cleared for
action. The sultan thereupon posted a
notification at the custom house and on
| the gates of the town that the agreement
with the French was cancelled.
noon the sultan sent his brother on
board the Eclipse, but the British admiral
refused to receive him as substitute.
Just before O'Clock the sultan of Oman,
almost unattended, arrived on board the
! flagship and remained there for two
hours, while the whole population lined
the beach and anXiously awaited the out
come. The sultan, it appears, completely
acquiesced to the British demands and
handed over to Admiral Drummond the
treaty with France. On the following day
the admiral went to the palace, where a
great durbar was held and the sultan
publicly repudiated his agreement with
Franco.

CONTINUES
HIS TESTIMONY

WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.-Former Com
missary General Charles F. Eagan re-
sumed his testimony before the court of
inquiry. Recurring to the contract re-
auirements, he explained that Swift &
company We're wholly responsible for the
beef until delivered to the government
officials at the points designated by the
department. The clause requiring beef
to keep 72 hours after leaving the re-
frigerator was inserted he said, at his
instance. after the concerns declared
they could prepare it so as to keep that
long.
Speaking of arrangements for the Porto
Rican expedition, Eagan said he under
stood General Brooke was to command
it, and he accordingly consulted with
General Brooke. reaching a complete and
satisfactory understanding as to re-
frigerator beef. Subsequently he learned
that General Miles assumed command
but he never consulted with him, and he
did not know that General Miles knew of
the beef arrangements. He said that
Colonel Sharp, chief commissary for that
expedition, was furnished something like
$3.50, 900 credits on the United States. An
offer to send cash was made but declined
This statement was intended to bear upon
General Miles statement that funds for
the purchase of supplies in Porto Rice
were not availa BILE.
He read a telegram between General
Eagan and Colonel Weston, the latter in
Tampa, relative to the sending by a
packing firm of beef refrigerated tc
test how long it would keep after re-
moval from the ice box and with a view
to the making of contracts after the
breaking out of the war The beef, wher
removed from the ice box and hung up
was declared serviceable within 4S hours
whereas that left in the box after the
ice disappeared could not be used after
IS hours.
Frozen beef was declared by the com.
missary officials at Tampa as the best
solution of the fresh beef problem unit
circumstances We're such as would admit
the prompt delivery and use of refriger-
ator beef.
"Ample and complete" declared Cen
eral Eagan, was the authority of the
commissaries in Cuba and Porto Rico tc
purchase beef on the hoof for any emer.
gencies, or at the will of their respective
commanders"
Reports received, he said, showed with.
out exception that the native beef was
not nearly so satisfactory as the refriger
ated beef The latter tends to displact
beef on the hoof wherever both are
equally available.

WAS Az VIGOROUS
ARRANGEMENT
JOHNSON OF INDIANA DENOUNCES
THE POLICY OF THE ADMIN
ISTRATION.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-JohnSon (reD) OF
Indiana, who made vigorous opposition
to the army reorganization bill while it
was before the house secured thirty min
utes in which he delivered the most re-
markable and nsationh speech ar
raigning the administration in bitter
terms for its alleged imperalistic pro-
gram. He referred in opening to the re-
cent banquet at Boston attended by the
president and members Of the cabinet.
| He paid his respects to Alger, who, he
said, had been retained in the cabinet des-
| pte his incompetency, on account of his
contributions to the campaign fund Of
/! 1896 Secre tary Long also came in for a
share of irony. He had the audacity,
Johnson said, to repeat the baseless
charge that those who opposed the ratifi-
/ cation of the treaty were responsible for
! blOodshcd in the Philippines.
AS Johnson proceeded his remarkab'e
utterances fairly amazed the members of
| the house who gathered in the aislas to
listen. Chrisita niZing with the sword and
civilizing with the cannon, he declared
was the administrators policy. The
presidents speech at the Boston banquet
johnson declared. was the most dlsin-
I
chief executive.
! Apart from it's platitudes and profes-
sions of virtue, it was" he said, "a care
fully declared and studious miss statement
Of facts"
The sensation Johnson was creating
increased as he likened the president tt
Pecksnff. If the president really fel
congress should determine upon the flu
ture of the Philippines, he asked, why die
not the president call congress in eXtre
session and then keep his hands off. HI
charged hat the president coerced thu
senate into ratification Of the treaty, tha
he would not permit vote on the Bacol
resolution and only allowed the McEnery
resolution, which meant nothing to come
to pass in order to lull the opposition o.
the country to sleep while he went aheat
waging a relentless war against the help
less people struggling for liberty.

similar to those enacted by the United
States, that whenever the United States
passed any statute of this kind Canada

VERY STORMY WEATHER
ROUGH EXPERIENCES OF ISLAND
STEAMERS.
The Waialeale Bumps Bottom at Ka-
owing to Heavy Seas.

The island steamers Ike Au Hou, Mi
kahala and Waialeale, arrived during
the night and this morning from island
trips, all reporting very rough weather.
The Waialeale got in at about 8 this
morning, after being eight days out and
experiencing one of the toughest trips
on record. Captain Greene was obliged
to lose several days lying at anchor,
not deeming it safe to venture out from
Hanamaulu and being unable to land
at Kappa.
The sea at Kapaa was exceedingly
heavy and the Waialeale had an ex-
citing experience. AS she was pitching
and rolling in the sea, not daring to
venture near the landing, she struck
the bottom three times, heavily enough
to Jar the whole vessel and knock pas
sengers off their feet. No harm was
done, however. The Waialeale left on
october 18th and arrived at Hanama-
ulu on the next day, going to Koloa
and returning to Hanamaulu. The
James Makee was still unable to land
at Kapaa. All day Sunday and Monday
the Waialeale lay at anchor. On Tues
day she went to Anahola and was again
unable to land. After another day at
Hanamulu she got into Kapaa, but the
weather forced her out before unload
| ing was complete. Last night she went
to Kappa and finished unloading, re-
| turning to Honolulu.
The Ke Au Hou had an exceedingly
rough trip out on Wednesday after
noon, taking four hours longer than her
usual record to Lahaina. The first rain
at that point for nine months fell on
Wednesday afternoon, when a heavy
storm began. On the return the Ke Au
| Hou made very good time, covering the
distance between 3:45 and 1855 last
night.

TRACK OFTEN RIrRIED

The Hawaiian Tramways Company
has had hard time in the last two
days keeping portions of it's track
above ground. The greatest trouble
has been experienced on Beretania
street and on King street at Alakea
At the latter point so great is the wash
of sand from above that the track has
to be dug out after each shower. Two
men were working there most of the
time up to IL o'clock last night. Thus
far there have been no washouts
along the Oahu Railway and no spe-
Cial damage is reported.
