one in every way for the college, and
the increased attendance has demon
strated the necessity of having in
creased preparatory facilities.
The site will also be discussed. A
number of opinions have been offered,
some advocating the choice of central
location, while others favored building
on the college grounds in close prox-
unity to the college proper. 1t is
planned to have the new preparatory
school so arranged that the lower
grades up to about the fourth will be
kept entirely distinct from the upper
classes

surely the Honolulu poStOftice ought to
be able TO forward a message to Kauai
and Maui for a dollar and to Hawaii
for two.
In this out-of-the-way spot one hard
ly realizes the Importance OF keeping
up trained homing pigeons for use in
case of necessity. Indeed. it was only
recently that Senator Hale called the
attention of the United States Senate
TO the value of an effective pigeon ser
vice as a necessary adjunct to the ar
my and navy in case of war. and pre-
sented a paper relating TO homing pig
cons prepared by f. II. S. Morrison of
Elizabeth, New Jersey, president of the
National Federation of American HON.
ing Pigeon Fanciers, from which the
following is quoted:
1t was during the siege of Paris, dur
ing the Franco-Prussian war, that the
eyes of all Europe, and, in fact, the
whole world. were opened to the fact
that the homing pigeon was not a mere
plaything. Constituting. as they did,
the only means of communicating with
the outside world, they gained for
themselves a warm place in the hearts
of the residents of Paris and the ad
miration of all Europe.
During the siege Paris was thus kept
in communication with friends and al
lies. Thousands of messages were con-
veyed into the French capital, and even
newspapers were reduced in size by be-
ing photographed and sent to Paris by
these aerial messengers.
So important was the part played by
homing pigeons in this war that 1T led
to many of the European powers ex-
pending enormous sums of money in
the equipment of homing-pigeOn serv-

ZEAL IN HONOKAA
Whether 1t Will Come OFF De-
pGnds on Stockholders.
WHAT BROKER POLLITz PROPOSES
Stock to b. Listed on San Francisco Ex-
change If Certain Conditions
Are Accepted.

There is another deal on in Honokaa
stock.
Several of the more prominent stock
holders in this plantation met on
Wednesday to consider a proposition
submitted by Broker Ed Pollitz, and
give the proposition a favorable an
swer, with the understanding that
enough of the smaller stockholders
were to be sounded yesterday, and if
they agreed with the larger holders
public meeting was to be called and the
trade ratified. This accounts for the
sales of 600 shares between boards re-
ported yesterday afternoon at $3.50.
To properly understand the situa-
ton, it should be stated that there are
|10O,O 900 shares of the stock of the Ho-
nokaa Sugar Company outstanding of
the par value of $40 and that the stock
was quoted on the board yesterday at
$27.50 bid and $2775 asked Mr.. Pol
litz, by previous purchases already
owned $4,000 of these shares and it is
said has added largely to his holding
during his present visit.
The proposition now made by Mr..
Pollitz is to pay $25 per share to all
holders of Honokaa stock, big and lit
tie, for 20 per cent of the amount they
hold. That is, if Tom Smith owns one
hundred shares of Honokaa Mr.. Pol
litz wants twenty of them at $25, or
$3.50 less than the price offered yester-
day. In return for this option" which
may develop into a sale, Mr.. Pollitz
agrees to list the stock on the San
Francisco board at the upset price of
$35 per share, and to do his best to
create a big demand for the stock so
that those who sold him one-fifth of
their stock at loss may sell the other
four-fifths at a gain.
1t was said on the street yesterday
by few of the knowing ones that the
deal was likely to go through.

ly thirty miles therefrom. Messages
have been sent to and from Auckland
for some two or three years past by
private individuals with SO much sue
cess that the attention of the postal
authorities Of the New Zealand Gov
ernment was attracted, resulting in the
setting apart of small appropriation
for the purpose of investigating and
reporting on the advisability of the
Government establishing regular pos
tai delivery between the two points.
The first step made by the postal
authorities was to obtain control of the
i birds used. This was easily accom-
p1ished by the Government agreeing to
pay the owner a large proportion of
the postage to be charged. The post
master general next authorized the is
suing of 600 special "pigeongram
stamps" as trial issue, one of which
was to be used on each message sent.
These stamps cost one shilling each
and are purchased and cancelled at the
two pOstOfficeS in the usual way. The
message is written in lead pencil on
thin but tough tissue paper the exact
size of the cut furnished herewith, the
stamp is placed on the center and can
celled. The message is then folded up
into small compass, tied under the
wing Of a bird and in an hour is in
the hands of the person to whom it is
addressed.
The remarkabl celerity with which
these pigeOngrams are received and
delivered and the simplicity of the en-
tire operation makes one wonder why
similar means of communication be-
tween the different islands of the Ha-
waiian group have not been already
adopted. 1t is true there have been
some futile attempts at it, but under
Government protection and conducted
through the business channels of the
pOstOffice, a pigeongram service ought
to be as successful here as in New Zea-
land. There is no place in the world
probably where it could be used to
such great advantage as in the Hawaii
an Islands. If the Auckland postoffice
authorities can send a pigeongram to

ices, which are today maintained upon
a magnificent scale.
France, Germany, Russia, Spain and
Italy have gone further in perfecting
the services which they have in force
than the other powers, each spending
ANNUALLY from $4,000 to $25, 900 in car
rying forward this feature of their
fighting equipment, which they now
look upon as Indispensable.
The magnificent scale upon which
these Governments conduct their pig
con posts can hardly be realized by
one who has not made a study of them.
At the annual sale of stock birds held
by European fanciers of homing pig
cons agents of these Governments can
be seen ready to pay large prices for
choice specimens which may be offered,
consigning them when purchased to
the various posts of their respective
governments.

The French Government has gone so
far as to Introduce into the infantry
and artillery branches of it's service a
system of movable pigeon coops, which,
when perfected, will render safe and
swift reports from pickets and scouts
an easy matter. This system, while
affording great possibilities, has not as
yet been sufficiently tested to demon
strate clearly it's practical utility
With the above facts before us, let
us turn to a few of the wars conduct
ed by England and the United States,
in which well-equipped pigeon services
would have been of great value
Take, for example, the Afghan war,
the duration of which was about two
years. During this war about 200
miles of telegraph wires were laid. The
expenditure was enormous, and yet the
service was unsatisfactory, the reason
being that every few days the wires
were cut by the natives. The territory
in which the war was conducted was
such that it could have been complete

MANILA, April 6-Colonel Smith,
governor of the Island of Negroes, re-
ports that a number of bandits, head
ed by a man named Papassio attempt
ed rebellion on March 9th, and killed
several officials of Jumamayla. Papais-
so captured other officials and issued
a proclamation calling upon the natives
to rise and eXterminate the Americans
and Spanish. Major Slime and two COM
panies of the California regiment were
dispatched to the scene of the distur-
banCe by water and Colonel Dubec and
two other companies of troops were
sent overland. On April End this force
marched twelve miles and captured
Labziu, the headquarters of the ban
dts and destroyed the town. The
troops also captured thirty prisoners,
and scattered Papaissio's forces, thus
effectually quelling rebellion at the
outset.
Manila, April 6, $3.50 p. m.-There has

chiefly in order to allow Filipinos to di-
gest the proclamation of the United
states commission.

serted, with funds, and the inhabitants
are DESTROYS of American rule.
