2:1S TROT OR PACE.

In the 2:lS trOt or pace were six en-
tries: Allie King, owned by A. L. Wal
ters, Minerva; Frantic, b. Walter, Mi
nerva; Max T., John Hadley, Canton;
Billy G, S. r. Graves, Seville; Minting,
William A. PietZker, Massillon.
This race, like the 2:40 class, was won
in straight heats Allie King was pick
ed the winner by the knowing ones and
Allie won Just as the wise ones said he
would. Big Max T, John Hadley's flyer,
made good showing and in the opinion
of majority of horsemen should have
had second money, bat the judges awar-
ded the second slice to Billy c..
In the first heat Frantic drew the pole
with Minting, Max r, Billy G., Allie
King and Jeff Davis across the track.
Jeff Davis is owned by Fenton Bros, OF
Williamstield, and e. Tidd was behind
him. At the word the field got away in
shape, Morford taking Hadley's big
black gelding away up in front. Billy
G chased him for a quarter and Frantic
was pushing both of the leaders. 1t was
a pretty race and Max looked like a win
ner until Allie King, who was laying
back, was given his head and he
sWooped in ahead of the bunch. Max
was number 2, Billy G third, Frantic
fourth, Minting fifth and jeff Davis
sixth. In the second and third heats
Allie King was driven in ahead. The
fight then lay between Max T and Billy
G for second money. In the second heat
Billy G. won, as Max T went off his feet
at the last quarter and was last. Allie
was forced in by Billy G., who made a
great finish under the whip, although
behind the Minerva flyer. In the third
heat, however, Max had the better Of it
for second place. 1t was neck and neck
between Allie, Max and Billy G to the
stretch, when Walters let out another
peg and his gelding stepped to the front.
The race was between Max and Billy
for second place and it was a beauty.
Max landed a half length ahead on a
break within twnty-five feet of the wire.
Morford pulled the big black and the
race looked easy for his horse, but the
judges decided in favor Of the Seville
horse and Max took third money. Jeff
Davis beat Frantic and Minting and
took third money.

MAJOR MILLS ORDERS OUT A
DETACHMENT
Instructions Were to Allow no Soldiers
From the Puebla to Remain Ashore
Without Pass.

A provost guard of fourteen soldiers
from the local barracks was out last
night under orders from Major Mills to
look after the soldiers given shore leave
from the City of Puebla. Major Mills
had heard of the arrival of the trans
port with white and colored troops and
resolved to be prepared for any renew
al of the trouble that occurred on botrd.
He sent an order to Captain Morris to
patrol the city. This is an unusual
course such work being usually left TO
the transport military authorities.
The guard was under Sergeants Chat
ham, Miller and Schmidt. The orders
were to stop every soldiers and examine
his pass and to take all who were found
without passes to the transport. The
guard was also instructed to assist the
Honolulu police should any disturbance
arise when aid was needed and to take
any soldier found drunk to the vessel
The Pueblas men, both black and
white, were an orderly and well behav-
ed lot, however, and the guards work
consisted of examining passes.
Major Mills said that the men on the
Puebla We're all newly enlisted men and
he thought it better to have a well arm
ed provost guard of men who We're fam
liar with the town.
The Pueba Is still at the Pacific Mail
dock. Many of the soldiers were allow
ed to bathe in the harbor yesterday and
they greatly enjoyed swimming around
the vessel. 1t was a treat many had
not had for some time and some of
them had never had such an opportun-
ity before. This morning about 400 of
the men were given shore leave.
A general effort is being made to
deny the report of the threatened fight
over the crap game last Thursday.
Neither officers nor men will admit now
that the action of a provost guard was
necessary to prevent an encounter be-
tween blacks and whites. The account
published however, is substantiated by
eye witnesses whose names for obvious
reasons are not disclosed.

CAROLINE LEADER TELLS OF THE
SPANIARDS.
Was Imprisoned Ten Months-Saved
From Exile by the War-Prince is In
valuable Ally of Hawaiian Missions.

Prince Henry Nanpei, of Ponapi, who
is known by reputation 20 all in Homo
lulu as one of the native rulers in the
CarOlines, under Spanish supervision,
writes an interesting letter to Rev. o.
p. Emerson respecting the situation in
the Carolines and the effect of the war.
He has very little aloha for the Span
iards, as the following extracts from his
letter clearly indicates:
"I was arrested on May 2S, 1898. You
win be glad to know that | am now Il
free agent. And l thank and bless those
noble Americans who have fought and
gained such glorious victory over our
tyrannical prosecutors. .
The Americans have saved me from
being exiled and have saved my family
and my people from being harassed and
shot to death.
IAN of our Christian people rejoice
over this Spanish war. be-
cause it was not for fame, nor for gain,
nor vengeance, nor any evil thing, but
only to obtain and secure the justice,
safety and freedom which are the birth
right of every human being.
Where are the Spaniards now? How
do they feel about this? The Spanish
who are here now are very humble and
much crest fallen. They have no credit.
no food. The governor does not know
when a ship may come to their relief
nor does he know where she is to come
from. l have let him have all the food
| can spare. | cannot do any more.
During my ten months imprison-
ment 1 received no comfort, no sympa-
thy from the Spanish. They are an un-
grateful people
Prince Nanpei is the most powerful
ally of the Hawaiian and American
Missions in the Carolines. He is an
earnest church worker. and his high po-
litical position gives to him an immense
swing. Since his letter was written the
islands have been sold by Spain to Ger
many.
When James Wilder was in the Caro-
lines nearly two years ago, he met
Nanpei and formed a great attachment
and admiration for him.

LOM TROOPS ON GUARD OFFICIAL ORDER ARRIVES HORSE TOO WELL TRAINED NG MN NB0
LAND AT KAHAUIKI
AND LEILEHUA.
Leilehua Tract is Long Strip Extending
From Kaala Peak to Waikane and
Contains IA, 400 Acres.

Colonel Ruhlen has received the order
of the United States Government con-
demning the Crown Lands of KahauilIi,
containing 1884 acres, and of Leilehua,
containg 14,400 acres, for military pur-
poses. A map showing the lanus so re-
served accompanies the order.
The Kahauiki tract is just beyond
Kalihi and is we'll known land. 1t is the
plot upon which Major General Merri-
am thought of establishing the Homo
lulu barracks. Military men recon-
mended it, but the post had already
been established at Kapiolani park and
it was decided to allow it to remain
there.
Not only Leilehua ranch but the
whole of the strip of Crown Lands be-
tween Kaala mountain peak near Wal
anae and the Pail at the edge of Wal
kane is taken. 1t is a long, narrow
strip, extending entirely across the val
ley between the mountains. Leilehua
ranch house is in the center of the
property.
One clause in the order of cendemna-
ton will be received with satisfaction
by occupants of the land. All leases of
the tract, and also of land on the Ka-
hauiki plot, are to be respected and
will continue in full force, unless the
Government decides later to purchase
them The Dowsett Estate will be the
principal beneficiary under this clause.
Colonel Ruhlen said this morning that
it was undoubtedly the purpose of the
War Department to occupy those parts
of the property not under lease. He
had heard nothing official concerning
the matter, but felt sure that the Wash
ington dispatches respecting the en-
campment of large bodies of troops
there were correct. Colonel Ruhlen eX-
poets that within few months steps
will be taken in the matter of barracks
and arrangements for accommodating
a number of regiments.
