PROPERTY IN HAWAII.
Sugar Planters Arc on the Flood Tide
of Fortune and Are Get
ting Rich.

Senator Clark, Of Wyoming, who has
been in the Hawaiian islands this sum
1ner, speaking Of the conditions there,
says:
The sugar planters are on the flood
tide of fortune, for the profits on cane
are heavy, and erybody in the bust
ness is getting rich. Coffee planting
has not been SO profitable, but l think
that eventually it will be made to pay.
The material development OF Hawaii
has been greatly accelerated by annex
alton. Coming under our flag has been
of enormous benefit. It has given con-
tidence to the people and the guarantee
of stable government brightens the
whole future. Even the most ardent
royalists are forced to admit that
American supremacy in the islands is
the best thing that could have hap
pened.
What form Of government do the
leading men of the country desireo
They wish congress to bestow upon IIa-
waii a regular territorial system Of
government, such as that of Arizona or
New Mexico. In my opinion that is
the most desirable policy to pursue.
At present the governments very awk-
ward and cumbersome. There is no
municipal or county government, and
people residing at distance from Hon
olulu are put to great Inconvenience,
for public records are kept at no other
place. Honolulu itself is making rapid
strides in the march of progress. It's
harbor is crowded with shipping and
its business men report unprecedented
activity in trade.

PACKING SARDINEs.
Uow nm Interesting and Important
New England Industry
In Conducted.

The packing of small behring's, or, as
they are often called, american sar-
hlnes, is an important industry in
Maine. In that state there are so fac
tories, which give employment to a
large number of hands during four or
five months of the year The annual
output is estimated to be Of an average
value of S3,000,00O, and about half OF
this amount finds it's way into the pock-.
cts Of the factory employees in the form
OF wages. The fish are caught in
selnes scattered all along the coast for
u distance of about a hundred miles.
After the fish are taken in sailboats
to the factories they are thrown into
strong brine, where they remain for
some time. They are then laid on iron
crates and conveyed to an immense
oven, where the crates are laid on re.
volving shelves. After 90 minutes cook
ing the fish are ready for packing.
There are two methods of packing, one
in oil, the other in mustard. The
ground mustard is mixed with vinegar;
Tor oil packing cotton seed oil is used.
About gill of oil is put into a can, and
then the baked fish FROM the ovens are
carefully packed into it. and the cover
snapped on. The pans then go to the
scaler, who sits in front of a little fur
mace in which his soldering iron is
plunged. Selling the can, he runs the
heated iron around the cover, holding
the solder just in front of it, and seals
the can SO rapidly that the eye can
hardly follow his movements. The
sealed cans are thrown into bath of
boiling water, in which they remain for
two hours. If any of them leak the
tops will bulge out, and these go back
to be resealed. After the cans are
cleaned with sawdust they are packed
into cases and put on the market as
genuine American sardines in pure olive
oil

THEIR THROATS ARE CUT.

MANILA, March 3l.-The army's ad-
vance Wednesday covered more than
two miles before any resistance was
offered Last night Macarthur was
camped beyond Guiguinto, three miles
from Malolos.
Insurgents have been found with
their Threats cut. This is understood
to indicate that they were thus pun
ished for refusing to fight.
At o'clock the flying column, with
the Third artillery and the Montana
and Kansas volunteers on the left Of
the railroad, and the Pennsylvania,
South Dakota and Nebraska volun-
teers on the right, started for Bocave,
across two miles of open fields.
The insurgents began to fire imme-
diately and continued until the troops
reached the river at Bocave. The
American troops never wavered. The
Nebraska regiment swung in from the
extreme left and doubled up the in.
surgents' left at the river. The insur-
gents ran after some rails had been
removed from the railroad. Wounded
insurgents reported that the enemy
had retreated to Malolos.
In the Pennsylvania regiment there
was one killed and five wounded. The
Kansas regiment lost one officer and
fifteen privates were wounded. In
the Montana regiment five men were
wounded, and in the Nebraska regi-
ment one man was killed and ten
wounded.
There was no resistance at Rigaa.
The troops advanced quickly in con-
tracted lines to the town of Guiguinto.
The Pennsylvania regiment crossed
the bridge as the advance guard.
Unexpectedly the insurgents, con-
cealed in the woods ahead, opened a
heavy fire. Then the Kansas regiment
and one battalion of the South Dakota
regiment rushed over the bridge I'M
der fire. Two of the Utah battery
guns and one Colt rapid-frer also came
into action. The insurgents had made
trenches across the railroad Our loss
was several killed and more than
twenty wounded before the insurgents
were driven off.

KING OSCAR rs UMPIRE.
Will Have Deciding Voice in Set
thing Samoan Question.
POWERS AGREE ON A METHOD.

WASHINGTON, April IA joint high
trouble has been practically agreed
upon by the Uuited States, British and
German governments. Lord Sails
bury's absence from London alone de-
lays the formal acceptance by Great
Britain, though, in his absence, Sir
Thomas Sanderson and Mr.. Villiers,
who are understood to be specially
familiar with the Samoan question,
have approved the plan for commits
sion. The United States has inform
ally expressed its approval and the
formal acceptance, it is learned from
the highest quarters, will follow
speedily. AS the proposition emanates
from Germany, her approval, of
course, is assured. This high COM
mission, it is felt, affords pacific
solution to the whole trouble at the
moment when Samoan affairs began to
look the most threatening.
The new plan has been fully gone
over by Secretary Hay and the British
and German ambassadors here, and its
essential details worked out. Each
nation is to be represented by one
mem Der on the commission. 1t is to
have practically unlimited authority,
without the necessity of referring its
decisions back to the several govern
ments for approval. 1t is felt that by
comforting such complete and final
authority on the high commission, the
danger will be obviated of any further
deadlocks and delays.
Still another important provision
under consideration is that King Os-
car of Norway and Sweden shall be the
umpire in case the three high commits
sioners should fail to reach determi-
nation. The plan of inviting King
Oscar to referee disagreement meets
the approval of the British and Ger
man authorities, and doubtless will be
approved also by the United States as
means of insuring fnality of decis-
ion, though it is not known just how
far this has been considered by the
Washington authorities.

NEW FIGHTING GROUND.
General Halls Brigade Has Sharp
Clash Near Montalban.

MANILA, April General Halls
brigade, which has been stationed on
the west OF Manila and has taken lit
tie part In the Macarthur campaign,
directed against the main body OF in
surgents under Aguinaldo himself,
engaged the rebels to-day.
Halls brigade advanced this morn
ing from Mariquina up the Mateo
river valley almost to Montaban, driv-
ing the enemy to the hills on the
north, The rebels were considerable
in force at the junction of two streams
with the Mateo, but the American ar
tillery soon scattered them with heavy
loss.
The American loss was one killed
Lieutenant Gregg of the Fourth infan-
try. General Hall eventually returned
to the water works.
General King advanced from San
Pedro Macati, establishing headquar-
tiers at Pasig.
MANILA, April Recently issued
copies of the Republica Filipino,
Aguinaldo's official organ, contain
proclamation to the effect that certain
parties are raiding the Northern
towns. 1t orders these bodies to join
the Filipino army Immediately, or
take the consequences when Aguin-
aldo shall have finished with the
Americans.
This is construed as meaning that
Macaholas, the governor of the five
northern provinces, is unfriendly to
Aguinaldo If this be true, Aguin-
aldos retreat is undoubtedly cut off
at the railroad beyond San Fernando.
The Republica Filipino on March
90, published an extra edition contain
ing a statement to the effect that the
Americans had attacked Pasig, that
many of them were killed, and a ma
jority of the remainder were wounded,
while $50 of them were taken prison
ers.
A second paragraph in the same edi.
ton asserted that the Americans had
ravished 1900 of the Filipinos' fairest
daughters, and called upon the ma
tives to defend their honor with
their lives against oppressors who
spared neither age, sex nor condition,
numbering whole families in cold
blooded revenge"

ON THE ROCKS.
Steamer Loaded With Excursionists Is
Wrecked-Seventy Drowned

Wrecked-Seventy Drowned
SOUTHAMPTON, England, April l.
The passenger steamer Stella, plying
between this port and the Channel
islands, crashed upon the Casquet
rocks, near the island of Attorney,
yesterday afternoon, in dense fog,
and foundered in ten minutes, her
boilers exploding with tremendous
report as she went down.
About seventy lives are believed to
have been lost. An early report gave
the loss as 120 but the officers of the
London & Southwestern Railway COM
pany, to which the boat belonged, say
all the passengers except seventy have
been accounted for
gers who were going to spend Easter
in the Channel islands. In spite of
the confusion and the boiler explo-
sions, there was no panic when the
ship went down.
The co casting steamer Lynx, which
brought the news of the disaster here,
picked up four boats and forty per-
sons belonging to the Stella.
Another stermer has picked up q
boat containing fifty-five persons, in
Guiding twenty women, who escaped
from the wrecked steamer. They have
been landed here.
The second officer of the steamer,
who was among those rescued, says
that collapsible boat was launched
full of people, but he thinks she struck
on the rocks, owing to the fog.
Three boats, including the collapsi-
BILE boat, are missing
