MAY LAND At HONOLULU.
Chinese with Permits from Old Ha-
waiian Government May Stay.

HONOLULU, March 10, via San Fran
cisco. March l7-An the Chinese in quaran-
tine whose permits from the old Hawaiian
government are in good form will be al
lowed to land in Honolulu without delay.
This is the final decision OF the matter by
the Treasury Department at Washington,
received in a short dispatch by Special
Agent Brown, by the Picking. The dispatch
requests that the decision be submitted TO
the Hawaiian government at once for its
guidance. Agent Browns dispatch is short
and TO the point. The instructions make
known that all Chinese holding permits
from the Hawaiian government issued up TO
the time of Mr.. Browns arrival here may
come in. Annexation and the flag raising
on Aug. II are ignored in dealing with the
matter. AS no permits of any kind were
issued after the arrival o. Mr.. Brown, the
situation is that all Chinese who have left
the country with regular, or even condi-
tional permits, may come back.

WILLIE wULDE,s EsCAPApEs.
Dragged to the Altar Drunk to Marry

New York Telegrapl

New York Telegraph
Word was received in this city yesterday
of the death in London of William Wilde,
better known as Willie" Wilde, big, bur-
ly man, which made the appellation ridicu-
lous. Wilde was a brother OF Oscar Wilde,
and was very well known In this city from
the fact hat he married Mrs. Frank Leslie.
widow of the publisher; she obtained a d.
vorce from him in 1895, but Wilde did not
wait for that formality TO be complied with,
going abroad before the petition was heard
in court and marrying Miss Sophia Leeson.
Wilde was picturesque character and at
tracted great attention during his residence
i'm this country. Without possessing the
brilliancy or the ability TO say smart things
of his unspeakable brother, he was yet an
attractive man, and gained great notoriety.

But the Wildes didn't know this, and some
very remarkable and pleasant evenings were

Wilde was not such bad sort, taking him

The marriage of Wilde TO Mrs. Leslie was
not happy one. as the subsequent divorce
proves. For a while they seemed TO be in

seemed to be warm admirer OF her mann

CERVERA'S FATAL DASH
REAR ADMIRAL SAMPSON TELLS
ABOUT 1T IN A BOOK.
Some OF TIE Spaniards Might Have
Escaped If They Had Come Out i'm
the Dark-SchIey's Report.

NEW YORK, March 17.-Rear Admiral
Sampson has contributed chapter to the
book, with Sampson through the War;"
just issued by w. A. NJ. Goode, correspond
ent of the Associated Press the flagship
New York during the war. Admiral Samp
son holds that the victory over Cervera is
not entirely accounted .or by the superiority
of the American force, and he Is inclined to
believe that il was due more to excellent
craftsmanship than to anything else. Re
garding the strategy of Cervera, Sampson
is of the opinion that had the Spanish adj
miral come out during the evening. making
his departure to coincide with a passing
storm, he would have had a good chance
to save one or more of his vessels. Explain
ing this, Sampson writes:
IF this attempt had been made during
darkness it would have enabled one of the
Spanards to have gone out of sight Of most
of our vessels in a few moments. The re-
suit would undoubtedly have been different.
Therefore, it is my opinion that If the time
| of escape had been set for the evening the
! result would have been more successful.
| The whole night would have been left to the
| Spaniards to evade their pursuers, and es-
| pecially had the hour been set TO coincide
with a passing storm, which would have
| diminished the intensity of our searchlight
| and would have greatly increased the in
| tenSity of the darkness
| The author, speaking of the reports
| turned in by the various officers after the
destruction of Cervera's fleet, says the ac-
count of the battle submitted by Rear Ad-
| miral Schley contradicted in various details
| those sent in by the battle ship captains
Somebody was evidently mistaken, and it
| was judged unwise TO forward reports from
| Evans, Philip, Taylor and Clark that con-
| tradicted. the statements of the second in
command. The attention of Sampson was
drawn to the discrepancies.
''Oh, WELL he said what does il matter?
The battle was won, SO what's the use of
| bothering?"
| However, Sampson finally decided to send
| for Schley, and the result was that the lat
ter withdrew his original report and sub
| mitted the one known 10 the public. The
author states that the famous dispatch be-
ginning THE fleet under my command,
| and announcing the victory of July g. al
| though signed by Sampson, was not written
by him.
