 La Lucha commenting upon the revolu- tionary manifesto recently issued, says the fanatical ideas advanced are producing re- suits the opposite of those intended, inas- much as they arouse feelings, the manifes- tation of which the people cannot suppress. Prociamations of this character the paper believes to be the work of perfidous men, as no sane person believes a revolution possible at the present time.

REVOLUTIONARY
 PARTY IN CUBA
Will Try to Incite Natives
 Throughout Entire Island.
HEADQUARTERS IN HAVANA
Organization Has Agents in Every Large City and Junta in Mexico-
 United States Authorities Are Aware of the Scheme.

Havana, July 1S.-The truth regarding the recent proclamation issued in Matanzas shows that a regular revolutionary party has been established with headquarters in Havana, it's object being to incite Cubans throughout the entire country.
 The party has agents ip every large city and also a junta in Mexico, one of the agents of which is now here. All this is perfectly well known to the authorities, and no manifesto comes off the press with out the government receiving a copy of it.
 Of course, these infammatory advices are hurtful to the peace of the country, but it is generally considered that it would work more harm to arrest the leaders of the movement who would undoubtedly pose as martyrs which is seemingly their de- sire, as though they must know that their machinations are discovered, they persist in the agitation. Each province has, or will have an address widely circulated, signed by some prominent name sufficiently com mon to be borne by many and thus to pre- vent the accusation of forgery.
 One such appeal recently issued in the province of Santiago reads as follows:
 With my soul stirred with enthusiasm by your dignifed action under the humiliating conditions in which we are placed by the intervening government, 1 raise my voice to you, brave comrades and obedient sol diers of the immortal Maceo, asking in glorious remembrance of his name, that you again swear you will die on the battle- field before you will live like miserable towards, yoked and tied, like the disin- af fat a1- lowing a perjured foreign flag to float over our shoreswhch should be marked only by the blessed emblem of the lone star.
 You who turned your backs on the vile metal which pretended to pay for the arms which cost so many sacrifices, in defense of our just rights, because the great and powerful are small and cowardly when they face justice and truth, 1 shall always be the first to die for you or carry you to glory.

NEW INDUSTRY FOR j. 5
POSSESSION OF PHILIPPINES
WILL HELP.
The Fancy Soap Business May be Now
Transferred from Marseilles to San
Francisco-Value of Puma Groves.

The occupa ton of the Philippine Is
lands by The United States sayS CON
sui Skinner suggests the possibility of
a transfer to the United States of an
industry which is now almost eXclu-
sively confined to the city of Ma~Seil
les. The crushing of oleaginous seeds
and cocoanuts, for the extraction of
the oil they contain, has for many
years given employment to hundreds of
workmen, and the skillful use of the
blended oils in the manufacture Of
soap gave to this city it's wor1 wide
reputation for the latter. In more re-
cent times, the American cotton seed
oil has to a large extent replaced the
copra or cocoanut oil, at the same time
severely crippling the seed crushing In
dustry. A prominent soap manutact-
urer states that the cotton oil cannot,
however, entirely supplant the coCoa-
nut oil, as the former, If used alone,
produces a soap too soft to be accept
able to commerce, and the latter, If
unmixed with cotton or peanut oil, it
makes a soap much too hard. A mixture
of about half and half produces the
best results, and the failure of the
Marseilles manufacturers to maintain
these proportions has been followed by
a distinct falling off in the quality of
some famous brands of Marseilles
soaps.
The copra or cocoanut crushed in
| Marseilles come almost exclusively
| from the Philippine Islands. In the
year 1897, the imports amounted to
6S6, ,120 metric quintals, in addition to
which 31,91O metric quintals were I'M
| ported from the French colonies. The
| highest price paid at Marseilles dur
| ing 1897 was $6.94 and the lowest $5%i.
| The nuts fall from the trees and lie
on the ground till the hard shell sep
arates from the kernel and decays. The
| kernel appears to lose none of its use
| full qualities, though permitted to re-
main on the ground for year or over.
| When a favorable opportunity occurs
| the copra is gathered, dumped into a
small coasting boat, and eventually II
reaches Marseilles. At the present time
the price is uncertain and almost dOub-
lie the. average figure because OF n
complete suspension of arrivals from
| Manila On January IL, the total
stock of copra in the docks and ware
houses was only 1880 quintals, and the
fear now prevails that the troubles
among the natives will prevent the
shipment of any considerable quanti-
| ty for some time to come.
The assurance that means of COM
/ munication between the Philippines
and the United States will soon he es-
tablished will make it appear easy foi
American capital to build and operate
crushing mills; and, with cotton oil ir
unlimited quantities to draw upon, thC
manufacturers of soap will be i'm pos
session of additional resources for car
rying i'm their business.

.NOATTORNEY GENERAL YTTHE COLUMBIA DECISION.
MATTER GOES OVER TO MONDAY
MORNING.
Statement That Minister Cooper viii
be the Man Unauthorized but He
May be Appointed All the Same.

The people of Honolulu will have to
wait until Monday to know who will
be attorney general of Hawaii.
President Dole and all of his minis
ters had a conference from 10 to II
o'clock this morning, and during that
time the matter was discussed. 1t is
stated officially that nothing was done,
and the matter is now just where it
was the first day it came up.
Nothing will be done before Mon
day morning." corteously replied Pres
ident Dole to a question.
When told that the town considered
the appointment of Minister Cooper
practically assured, Mr.. Dole said
"I cannot speak of the matter farth-
ed than to say that the published opin-
ion in a city paper that such would be
the case had no official sanction. I am
sure l gave out no such impression,
and feel certain that no member of the
cabinet has done so. The paper is
guessing; that is ALL"
A. G. M. Robertson stated last night
that the post had not been offered to
him, although it was expected that ii
would be. Neither had Paul Neumann
been addressed on the matter.
AS a guess the mention of Minister
Cooper is about as sound and certain
as anything in sight. The head of the
foreign affairs department has spent
most of today in the office of the at
torney general. apparently posting
himself on it's workings. L. A. Thurs
ton has been mentioned as a successor
to Minister Cooper in the foeeign Of
flee. 1t is believed, however, that the
eX-minister to Washington would de-
cline the place. A statement was made
this morning that If Minister Cooper
took the portfolio of attorney general
Paul Neum9nn would be the new min
lister of foreign affairs Friends of
Mr.. Neumann say he would accept
that place, although he would refuse
the former on account of the work at
tached to it.

A MILITARY TEST.
March 1, 1899.

A military bicycle corps of twelve
members each rode a Sterling bicycle
taken from stock-from Chicago to
Washington, d. c., over mountains and
rough roads, in rain and shine, carry
ing in addition to the rider about for
Iy pounds of baggage. The wheels be-
haved splendidly, the only accident be-
ing the breaking of one froEt wheel
axle, due to the fact that all the eX-
ira weight carried, being strapped to
the handle bars, came on the front
axle.
Next to strength of bicycle, wear
ing quality is of prime Importance, now
that construction is so nearly perfect
that material improvements are few
and far between. The majority of buy
ers today want a wheel that will last
several seasons, one that will bear
them thousands of miles without haV-
ing to spend half of the original cost
in repairs. A wheel that will do this
will cost more at first but will be less
expensive in the end. The Sterling is
the only wheel that will meet those re-
quirements. Call up the Pacific Cycle
Company and see the 1899 model; only
$4,000.

GREGORY WALSH WRITES TO AN
OLD FRIEND.
Says the American Loss in Killed was
Seventy and Wounded Three Hun
dred-Awaiting Reinforcements.

Major Charles j. Mccarthy has re-
ceiyed a most interesting letter from
Gregory l.. Walsh, at Manila, which,
while it gives nothing not already
known in a general way, presents many
details of the fighting and the hard
ships encountered by our soldiers. In
speaking of the losses Walsh says:
The enemy's loss is reported as being
quite heavy, while our loss is to date
10 killed and 300 wounded, including 8
officers killed and 10 wounded.
THE enemy was well protected by
block houses and trenches, but with re-
peated charges, under a heavy fire, we
soon had them going. 1t was in these
charges we lost our men, and had the
rebels been good marksmen or any
kind of shots they would simply have
slaughtered us.
Lieutenant Mitchell was the only
officer killed in orr regiment. We had
the heaviest loss of any one regiment,
10 killed and 40 wounded.
I'VE are now waiting for reinforce
ments, which are expected at any time
from San Francisco. Our lines are
quite thin, covering the country for
about twenty miles. The boys have
been campaigning since the fighting
started and are standing the work well
under a hot sun"
This letter was written on February
18th, after the principal skirmshes
were over. The writer is well known
in Honolulu, having met all the OFF,
GERS of the local regiment and a large
number of other people when here last
summer.
Short letters came yesterday from
Harry Murray, G. G. Conley and others.
but they all contain about the same
general gist of facts.

TEA PLANTING
JAMES HUTCHEON MAKES SOME
SUGGESTIONS.
Tea viii Grow Well Here but 1t Re
quires Expert Handling to Prepare II
Properly for Market

Editor Star: Seeing coffee is not
turning out so well as many people ex-
pected, | am surprised that tea has
not been tried by some one who under
stands its cultivation and manufact-
ure, as | am convinced it would pay
on these Islands, more especially on
Hawaii 1t is hardy bush compared
to coffee and will thrive and do well
where coffee would barely exist.
Ceylon tea, although not equal in ap-
pearanCe to most of the Indian teas,
commands a better price, simply on
account of its superior flavor, which is
due entirely to the climate and soil
Here we have got as good soil and q
better climate in every respect than
CeylOn or India, and again the season
is pretty much the same from January
to December so that tea manufacture
could go on all the year round with
little interruption, whereas in India
tea is only made during the rainy sea-
son which lasts about eight months in
the year.
Tea has been tried in Hawaii by
novices who never saw tea bush un-
til they came to the Islands. The wri-
ter saw some tea bushes i'm Hawaii fir
teen months old, which were equal il
not better than any in India seven or
eight months older.
These bushes were from five to sew
en- feet high and looked as if they we're
intended for seed bearing and not for
leaf. They of course required pruning,
only the owner knew nothing about
that, in fact did not know what leaves
to pluck; never having been on a tea
plantation. The growth here is such
that three years after the planting suf-
tcient tea will be gotten to pay ex-
penses and the outturn would increase
yearly until the bushes arrived at ma
turity, which would be in five or six
years
In India tea has to be conveyed,
in some instances, thousands of miles
to the Calcutta market, where 1T is
sold by auction. At recent sale 13, 1863
chests sold at an average of IL to Is
cents per pound the demand for GER
tain classes of tea for the American
market being brisk. Here one has to
pay 60 to rs cents per pound for good
tea. Why should America have to go
to India for tea, seeing she can
grow as good, If not better, in her own
| territory?

SUPREME JUDGES WORKING ON
IT TODAY.
Decision May be Expected During
Estate Appointed-Other Matters.

Judge Perry yesterday afternoon
heard the petition for the probate of
the will of the late Judge H. A. Wide
man. F. NJ. Hatch appeared for the
petitioners and John NJ. Dowsett, nam
ed as one of the executors was pres
ent. The petition was granted. Henry
r. MaCfarlane, +. w. Macfarlane and
j. NJ. Dowsett were appointed eXecu-
tors under the will under a bond of
$175,000 without sureties. The usual
inventory is to be filed within thirty
days.
In Judge Perrys court this morning
the accounting case of J. d. Paris VS..
Antoine Fornendez was heard. Mr..
McClanahan appeared for the plaintiff
and r. d. Siliman and ]. NJ. Vivas for
the defendant. At noon the court took
the matter under advisement.
In the assumpsit suit of j. H.
Schnack VS.. Minna Cremner, the su-
preme court has oVerruled plaintiffs s
motion for a new trial for the reason
that the claim has lost it's validity un-
der the statute of limitations Plaintiff
claimed that the statute applied from
the time of the last payment which
was some two years ago, in place of
from the date the account was created,
which was in 1891. This view is not
sustained by the court.
In the registration matter of George
w. Macfarlane it has been stipulated
between respective counsel that the
copy of the temporary register may be
filed in place of the original, and the
applicant may not be required to pro-
duce the original at the trial.
Judges of the supreme court are now
working on their decision in the CO.
lumbia case. 1t will likely be finished
and filed Monday morning. The last
of the expert testimony as to the value
of the ship was taken yesterday after
noon.

AOLOKATSNAER SUPPLY FROM THE FIRING LINZ.
PROGRESS OF WORK AT THE
SETTLEMENT.
Most of the Eight Inch Pipe in Place
Water Will be Turned On in Three
Weeks.

Work on the pipe line for the new
water supply for the leper settlement
on Molokai is progressing satisfactory
ly. Superintendent Reynolds returned
last night on the Lehua, and says that
he expects in about three weeks to
have the eight inch pipe laid from the
spring to the Baldwin Home. He will
then turn the water on in this line and
connect the present four inch pipe
which extends from the Baldwin Home
to KalNupapa. This will give a strong
er head and a more liberal supply than
at present. The work of laying the six
inch pipe line between the two sides of
the settlement will proceed rapidly.
The supply of water for the settle
ment is abundant and practically in
eXhaustible. But the means of getting
it to the settlement has been a four
inch pipe line, which did not carry
enough to admit of irrigation and culS
tivation on the settlement. The last
legislature appropriated money for a
larger pipe line and this is being put
in. There are in all $4,000 feet of the
new pipe, of which $500 feet is s inch
pipe OF this 5000 feet is already in
place and that in the most difficult
part of the distance. The line is carri-
ed around the face of the pail, requir-
ing a great deal of blasting and eXca-
waiting. In one place for a distance of
about 100 feet where there had been a
landslide excavation had to be made
about twenty feet deep before solid
rock was reached.
The work has been done by the peo-
pie of the settlement and though it has
been both difficult and dangerous there
has not been a single accident. Su-
perintendent Reynolds speaks in the
highest terms of the willingness and
efficiency of the men employed.
