First American Douhly Subscribed - Appor-
tionment - Oaa Taken Three
Times Over.

George w. Macfarlane, the promoter,
torneys, and a few others interested in
the new enterprise We're in the office OF
Mr.. Brown yesterday afternoon at 3
O'Clock 10 close the list of subscriD
lions for stock in the First American
Bank This is to become the First Ma
tiopal Bank of Hawaii, with the Selig-
mans, the AngJo-California Bank, Mr..
Lilienthal, Perry s. Heath and others
interested. James Campbell will be
the heaviest stockholder here.
The Honolulu public asked for about
double the amount of the stock that Il
had been calculated TO place here at
this time Shares TO the total of $780,
900 par value We're available. The ap-
plication total is approximately twice
this sum. There was over-sabscription
mt the close of the first day the list was
day for the reason that such had been
the advertisement.
Allotment Of this stock is TO be made
at San Francisco. The result will be
known in about three weeks. 1t is
likely that those who nave signed and
deposited their five per cent will re-
ceive in the neighborhood of fifty per
cent of the stock for which they APP
piled.
The stock in the new Olaa planta-
ton company that was offered TO Ho-
nolulu investors has been subscribed
three times over. The final calcula-
tion was made in the office of B. F.
Dillingham;. in the Judd building last
evening. The work of filing in the
stock certificates has begun, and these
will be ready for delivery by the end
of the week Trading in the stock
will then be the order. 1t is not likely
that the transfers will be heavy. Very
few of those who have gone into Olaa
did so for the purpose of specializing.
Most of the buyers are strictly invest
ors, and viii hold the shares repre-
senting interest in one of the great

SiXty-SiX Challenges.

Five of the Japanese charged with
committing murder in the course of the
riot at the Kahuku plantation are now
on trial. They have the right. even
while being heard together, of twelve
challenges without explanation for
each man. or sixty COR the quintette.
Only few OF these challenges have
been used so far. The Government has
but six peremptory challenges alto
gether, just the same as if single in
dividual were on trial. But two of
these have been used. 1t is believed
by many attorneys that an error was
made in drawing up or compiling the
law, as they say it could not have been
the intention to restrict the State chal-
lenges in any instance.

was contemplated at Washington.
And then it was explained that Gen.
Brooke had received full authority to
deal with this or any other disagree
able situation which might arise.
Through the department of state an
international notice has been given
that the islands from which Spain has
withdrawn sovereignty are under mil
itary government, and will so remain
awaiting the action OF congress. This
is notice to the world that the occupa.

government for months to come.
without an extra session of congress
there can be no legislation until next
winter The present status, so far as
the general government is concerned,
must remain in Cuba, Porto Rico and
