Charter for RllIVay 10 Encirls
Big Island.
HEADQUARTERS AT AIlo
Every District to be Touched -
Lands to be Opened Up-To
Volcano by RAN.

The railroad for the island OF Ha-
wall Is assured. The franchise was
granted by the Cabinet yesterday
mCruiug.
The new road will be capitalized at
first with $4,000 with the privilege OF
increasing to $4,000, 200. 1t is intend
ed that the road will encircle the big
island. Starting from Hilo It will run
through North Hilo and thence a belt
line clear around
A branch line will be run into the
Olaa district. Another will probably
be run from the Kau section. passing
by the Volcano House.
The new enterprise Is certain to
prove strong developing agency for
Hilo and the rest of the island. Large
tracts of land, at present untenanted
will be- opened up. Later these tracts
will lie divided into small holdings
which will give an increased, perma-
nent and progressive population. A
number of new plantations will surely
be started along the line Of the road.
For Hilo the benefits accruing will
be very great. Car shops, roundhouscs,
stations and other adjuncts will be
built. Men like b. +. Dillingham; and
Col. Albert Whyte will be behind the
enterprise and the necessary buildings
will he started soon. The work will
give employment to a large force and
much money will he put into clrcula-
ton. 1t will not be many months be-
fore the changing of the bell and the
striking OF the whistle of the iron
horse will be sounded in the rainy
city.
The promoters have already secured
about 10000 acres of choice land and
more will be purchased soon.

NEW YORK.-"The Porto Rlcans
want independence" said Col. William
II. Hubbell, commander Of the Forty
seventh regiment, which had a tri-
umph in Brooklyn upon its return from
Porto Rico.
Col. Hubbell in an interview declared
that Porto Rican Agulnaldo can cause
this Government much annoyance.
The Porto Ricans have become de-
moralzed by the examples Of Cuba,
having observed the successful issue of
a great revolution. He continued:
I'VE found out that there Is latent
determination among large class OF
Porto Ricans to gain independence. We
found many OF the native Porto Ricans
given to treachery. Many who receive d
us with flowers and loud hurrahs were
afterward discovered in some OF the
plots against us. Our sentinels did not
need the caution of their officers to re-
frain from sleep. Some of the natives
were detected sneaklng up on the sem
tinels for the purpose Of stabbing them
in the back. After that, whenever we
saw a suspicious-looking man, we made
him throw up his hands and submit to
search. On men thus halted we fire.

Pulchbovl.
PIMSECTloN Of the PLACE
q Meets Many OF the Prescribed
Reauirsme nts-Road-SoIi
Average.
From Thursdays Daily

President Dole led again yesterday a
large party OF Board OF Health, Gene
terry Association and newspaper men
on a trip In quest Of a graveyard loca-
ton. This time 1t was a drive to
Punchbowl. The crater has long been
favored by Mr.. Dole and others as .
burial place. II 1t Is desired to have a
cemetery within the notable landmark
back of town every feature OF the place
is unobjectionable. 1t Is close in. The
soundings made and exhibited yester-
day have shown that blasting for
graves will not be necessary. The
place can be easily drained. The pos
sibilities for ornamentation are unlim
tied. Excepting around the extreme
edges the land Is the common top soil
and black sand to depth of many
feet. At the edges the hardest ground
can be worked with a pick. There is
in the neighborhood Of 100 acres. The
road to the place is excellent. The land
can be secured.
The chief objection to the place Is
that 1t should be reserved for a city
park and for residence sites.
The views Of those who attended Of
ficially yesterday will be submitted to
the committee having the authority Of
selection.
In making the trip up the party had

held in the highest esteem in Wyo-
ming, where he has resided for many
years. He is an administration Re-
publican and Is one of the hardest
workers in the committee rooms in
Congress. His colleague, Senator
Francis l.. Warren, has also earned a

SECULAR QUESTION.
Sunday Schools Cannot Use Ger
tain Grounds.

tain GROUNDS.
Messrs. Theo. Richards, w. A. Bowen
and +. w. Damon, who represented the
Sunday School Union in the request
that the use of the Executive Buildn g
grounds be permitted for a grand rally
TO be held early in the summer, re
ceiyed "a negative answer yesterday
morning. A member of the Cabinet
said later in the day that the Govern
ment did not wish to place itself in
the position of favoring any particular
branch of the whole church as against
another. 1t may be mentioned that the
Sunday School rally Is a protestant
enterprise. There will be no trouble
in securing satisfactory grounds else
where. Some of the Sunday School
workers are very much put out over
the adverse decision of the Cabinet.
1t Is claimed on the outside that no
favoritism need be shown and that the
Cabinet allowed greater offense to the
fine proprieties when it had the
grounds in use for months for Amerl-
can soldiers, to the exclusion OF resi-
dents Of the country, and that the same
thing is done when the grounds are
given over on the Fourth of July to
committees.

WITH THE BROKERS.

There Is a steady bit OF deal
ing in such leaders as Oahu,
Eva, Waialua, Honokaa, but
the quotations are practically at
a standstill. 1t Is believed that
with some of the choicest stocks
the limit for the present has
been reached. But as they are
eagerly sought after by invest
ors they may advance some-
what.
Maunalei assessable was firm
yesterday at the premium Of $50
the share and will advance. 1t
was quite active on the street.
Kihei trading was lively as
ever. 1t opened at the 500 pre-
MUM, just as predicted. In the
middle of the afternoon there
was slump for about half an
hour. Then it rallied and closed
strong at $3.50 to $50 premium
on the share. 1t should open
today, II signs are correct, at
$25 premium. The trading in it
Is very heavy. The slump of
thirty minutes was caused by
the desire of a number OF spec
ulators to make quick turns. A
large quantity Of the stock is to
be taken TO the coast.
1t has been known for several
days that something was ION"
in Ookala. The secret came
out yesterday just after the
Board meeting. Henry Water
house & Co. have been gather
ing in the stock in the interest,
it Is said, Of Harry Schwartz,
the visiting representative of
Chas. Sutro G. Co., OF San Fran
cisco. The local brokers hold
25Ol shares, just a majority.
Just what deal Is to be made
cannot be learned. II the trade
is closed it will amount to near
ly 100000. r. w. Single,
with Warehouse & Co., was
questioned on the matter, but
would give no particulars. 1t
was admitted that the local

were without powers and merely came
and came again for information.
The most striking and perhaps the most
significant fact in he ensre situation is
the multiplicity of tribes inhabiting the
archipelago, the diversity of their Ian
guages (Which are mutually unintelllgfble)
and the multifarious phases of civilization
ranging all the way from the highest to
the lowest AS to this the report says:
1.-THE Filipinos are not nation, but a
variegated assemblage of different tribes

Concerning their intellectual capacities
the commission says:
las to the general intellectual capacities
of the Filipinos the commission is dis
posed to rate them high. But excepting
in a limited number of persons these ca
pacities have not been developed by edu-
cation or experience. The masses of the
peopl are uneducated. That intelligent
public opinion of which popular govern
ment rests does not exist in the Philip
pines. And it cannot exist until education
has educated the Masses broadened their
intellectual horizon, and disciplined their
ldcully VI JuuShltut-
The report shows this inability OF self
government is due to the old Spanish
regime, which gave the Filipinos little or
no part in governing themselves.
Only thorough American occupation,
therefore, is the idea of a free. self-govern-
ing and united Philippine commonwealth
at all conceivable. And the Indispensable
need from the Filipino point OF view Of
maintaining American sovereignty over
the archipelago is recognized by all intel
lgert Filiplnos and even by those insur-
gents who desire an American protecto-
rate
The report concludes:
"Our control means to the inhabitants
of the Philippines internal peace and order
a guarantee against foreign aggression
and against the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of their
country. commercial and industrial pros
perity and as large a share Of the affairs
of government as they shall prove At to
take. When peace and prosperity shall
have been thus established throughout the
archipelago, when education shall have
become general. then in the language of a
leading Filipino his people VIII under their
guidance. become more American than
the Americans themselves"
The report is signed by J. S. Schurman
