FORMER CHIEF OF AGUINALDo's
STAFF.
Gives Impressions of New Regiments
and of Coming Campaign-Sends Re-
CARDS to Military Friends.

Letters were received here yesterday
from l.. NJ. Johnson. who is known tC
all older residents of Honolulu and all
members of the National Guard. 1t
will be remembered that he was chief
on the staff of Agunaldo, with the rank
of colonel, during the Spanish war but
resigned his post when the Filipino
leader began to talk and act ugly. In
submitting his resignation, commission
and sword, Johnson informed Aguinal-
do quite plainly that he would serve
no people and no purpose at variance
with the interests of the United states
The office paid him 500 a month and
expenses. He left 1t and went into Ma
Mia with the American army as a p ain
citizen. His advice later has been OF
inestimable value to United States
arms. In the matter Johnson was
placed in a most awkward position. On
the one side was his own chief and his
army: on the other was his country and
his countrymen. The Hawaiian soldier
did not hesitate long. AT the risk of
being assasstnated, even III his home
at Manila or on the streets, he babe
farewell to the Filipino army and link
ed his fortunes with the men of his own
blood
In his letters. speaking of the new
vo uutcer regiments enlisted from the
state troops i'm the Philippines, Colonel
-
these men is a good one, as the govern
ment will secure the services of men
who arc seasoned to the climate and
whO have already seen a year ser
vice in the Philippines. Both of the
commanding officers have seen the
hardest of the fighting since February
4, and there is no doubht but that these
two new regiments will give a good ac-
count of themselves when the campaign
opens in November"
Colonel Johnson adds as his opinion
that the American army will make
quick work of the Filipinos when the
/ campaign reopens. He says that no
real work can be done until November
on account of the condition of the
roads. Johnson writes from Iloilo but
was returning very shortly to Manila.
Speaking of the local First Regi-
ment, Colonel Johnson says: II have
a great aloha for the N. G.. H., and
would be glad to hear any news con-
corning it. Some day 1 hope to wander
back again and hope to meet all of the
old boys; but l suppose l would hard Y
recognize the Honolulu of today, there
having been so many changes and i'm
provements since 1 left four years ago.
Please remember me to Colonel Jones.

Captain Kenake, Captain Murray, Cap
tain Ludwig and other friends among

UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT.
A Game That Led to a Delightful
Finale.

PAIA, September 2.-Last night at the
residence of Manager d. c. Lindsay u
most novel and unique entertainment
was given under the auspices of the Y.
p. S. c. f. of the Makawao Foreign
church.
The large parlors were we'll lighted,
prettily decorated, and comfortably
filled with a jolly company of people,
young, middle age7 and old. Three diff
ferent events marked the evenings pro-
gram, and each in itself was novel and
fun producing. The first event was Il
geographical game. Each person was
presented with something to wear or
carry, that represented a geographical
name, and the person guessing the
most of them correctly received prize.
The second event was a series of
tableauX representing the many differ
ent popular Jacks. There We're
Jack the Giant Killer" Jack Frost"
Jack in the Pulpit" and so on, up to
ten of them. After this came a slip
hunt
Each person was given o slip of pa
per, which directed him or her, where 10
look for the next slip. Upon fin ing this,
directions would be found for the next
one, and so on, until ten had been dis
covered.
This event brought forth a great
amount of amusement and laughter, the
hunt leading up stairs and down, in and
out of most every room and nook in the
house, on to the veranda, and out into
the grounds amongst the trees. Each
hunter found the last slip upon a plate
in the pantry, which directed them to
go to a certain spot for refreshments
and where they found a person of the
opposite sex had proceeded them, or
Joined them soon after. Here delicious
refreshments were served them, and
some time spent in social chat.
The evening was thoroughly success
full and enjoyable throughout, and the
committee in charge deserve much
credit for the hard work done in getting
up the program, and carrying it out SC
well.

In the past month Attorney Gen
eral Bellinger has received ne end of
applications for positions in the en-
crossing department of the general
assembly. He requests the state
ment made that all applications are
merely wasting paper, ink and
stamps in writing to him, for he is
now preparing to change the entire
plan of appointing these clerks.
All applications will have to be left
to the solicitors of the respective
circuits. The appointments are to
be left to the solicitors, but require
ments will be put in that will result
in obtaining clerks who write good
hands and can spell correctly. This
has heen found to be an absolute

The swamp lands of Barnwell

The swamp lands of Barnwell
county, at least certain trees en-
braced in them: are being disposed
of at prices ranging between thirty
and fifty cents per acre. People
are not aware of their swamp woods.
Two deeds granting timber rights
along the Savannah river have been
made recently; in one case all mark
etable ash and cypress in 800 acres
were disposed of for 800; and in the
other cypress, ash and cottonwood
on 44O acres were sold for 5000.
The poplar timber along Turkey
creek has also been bought up recent
ly by mill men at various prices,
one case only being mentioned to
afford a hint. About fifty acres of
poplar trees were sold for S25. The
round and unknown trees command
$40 per thousand for poplar, and
s12 per thousand for ash, delivered
at railroad. The party who sold his
poplar trees for s25 sold many hum
dred dollars worth for that sum,
and of course, those who sold at
thirty and fifty cents an acre lost
much more. This wood is in great
demand in Liverpool, and shipped
there affords good price after the
freight is paid.
