KEPT PORTUGUESE
FROM HAWAII
Peculiar Procedure Of
Consul Jones.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HONOLULU, Aug. B-There is big
row in Madeira over the Portuguese la
borers ordered by the Planters labor and
Supply Company from that country.
Consul Jones' head of the United States
consulates in the group, started the muss
At the time 1OUy laborers had booked for
Honolulu. When the laborers were get
ting ready to sail Consul Jones went to
them and told them they were going to
American territory and that their con-
tracts were not worth the paper they
were written on. He warned them not to
ship. The laborers flew to the agency
enlisting them No explanations would
suffice and many of them demanded that
the matter be referred to the Government
at Lisbon.
Consul Jones himself write to the Amer
lean Minister at Lisbon, the matter went
before the Portuguese Government and
the position of the Consul was there sus-
tanned Most of the immigrants lmme-
diately backed out.
Immediately after this Consul Jones
wrote to the Washington Government,
giving in detail all that had taken place
The State Department corrected MIN IN
several points. One statement was that
Hawaii was fully under American terri
torial laws. he department stated that
the contracts were in full force ana Would
so remain until Congress had EXTENDED
American laws to the islands.
Special Agent Sewall with instructions
that he refer it to the Hawaiian COY
ernment The points upon which the
Washington Government had corrected
Consul Jones were marked. Mr.. SeWall
delivered the letter yesterday ana II was
before The Cabinet this morning Presl-
dent Dole remarked that the letter pr1stleo
with misstatements.
The evident intention of Consul Jones
was 70 prevent if possible the departure
of the Portuguese from Madeira. what
his motives were are of course not known
In his letter to the Washington Govern
rnent he states that the immigrants are
anarchists and cut-throats, and urges the
department to take every precautloh 70
keen them from landing on American SOL
for they would be the worst sort OF cltl-
zens.
This statement will not go far here ana
seems to indicate some motive behind the
whole proceeding. Nearly all the F0rtu-
guese in the Hawaiian Islands come from
The neighbOrhood of Funchal and St.
Michaeis and are the same class as Con-
eIIl Jones calls anarchists and cut
throats." Many of those booked Tor inc
islands at this time are probably relatives
of the Portuguese here. 60
TittIe attention will be paid by the Gov
ernment to the correspondence save 10
further correct the letter of Consul Jones
and return it TO Washington 10 cor
rect it however will be to pracucaIly
rewrite ii. for there are very Few Words
of actual fact in it.
The incident is important because IL
shuts off number of laborers the plant
ers had calculated upon for the next quar-
ter Moreover. it will doubtless intercept
anv further shipments that might be at
ternnted In fact Madeira as a labor
market may in future be regarded as
closed

Sir Thomas Upton Says That Is All
He Asks for the Shamrock

LONDON, Aug. 25.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton. owner of the Americas cup chal-
lenger Shamrock, when interviewed to-
day regarding the secrecy that has
been maintained about the yachts
build. said there was no more mystery
about the Shamrock than the COlum-
bia. He was not aware, he said, that
the Columbia had been publicly eX-
hibited nor that anything more was
known about her than the Shamrock.
Continuing, Sir Thomas Upton said:
When the official measurer does his
work every detail will be known. 1t
will be a square race with no imped-
ing. At the first attempt at such a
thing we will abandon the race and
make a protest. Mr.. Iselin is as deter
mined as I am to have a clear course

London Statist Prophesies Increased
Prosperity for This Country.

LONDON, Aug. 25.-The Statist, under
the caption American Prosperity" will
say:
There will be very large exports of
wheat to meet the demands of Western
Europe. American farmers are disposing
Of their crops rapidly. and at toler-
abIv good prices, and they will be
able to purchase from the East
and from Europe as fully as they
have been doing this year. The United
States has made great progress of late
years in manufacturing and trading, but
It is still essentially an agricultural coun-
try and its prosperity depends mainly on
the harvests. Therefore fair wheat and
good harvests of other productions mean
the continuance of the well being Of the
farmers, who are the backbone and life
blood of the country"
The Statist then adds:
"Under the circumstances, it Is reason
ably certain that railroad traffic returns

etc, will continue to increase"
