CANCELLATION FAILS.
Two Municipal Governments
Collapse Through Treachery.
Their Mayors Caught Communicating
With and Aiding the Insurgents.
Manila Closely Guarded Native or.
iiciaIs Under Surveillance.

Manila, Aug. 22.--Via Hong Kong
Aug. 27.-Recent events have proved
somewhat discouraging to officials who
are trying TO accompany war with a
policy of Cancellation. Two new mu-
nicipal governments have collapsed
| through the treachery Of mayors.
Today, the mayor of San Pedro Ma
cati, who was elected by the people
under the direction of Dean Worcester
Of the United States advisory commits
sion for the Philippines, was brought
to Manila and lodged in Jail. The
United States officers of San Pedro
Macati found that he was using his Of
fee as recruiting station for the
Philippine army. Four disguised in
| surgent officers We're helping him.
The mayor Of Balinag was also ar
rested and confined in the same prison.
The Americans caught him passing be-
tween the lines Of the two armies with
discriminating documents, which the
authorities secured.
Another prominent native mayor is
under surveillance.
When the result of the election at
linus, which General Lawton ard Prof.
Worcester engineered, was announced.

such events and conditions tend to
give color to the assertions Of foreign

whom they know to be revolutionists.
For two weeks Manila has been DO
Iced at night with unusual vigilance.
Apparently the authorities are expect
ing trouble.
The trend of affairs tends to make
the policy Of leniency unpopular among
the Americans. When they abandoned
Morong they burned the whole town.
Col. Smith of the 18th Infantry. who
is in command of Angeles, is skeptical
regarding Filipino friendlincss In
stead of allowing the natives to return
to the town as heretofore, he has or
dered his troops to shoot all men try
ing to pass the lines to turn back the
women and children.
He recently gave the amigos in the
town an opportunity to prove their
professed friendship. putting them to
work at digging trenches and cleaning
streets. but this only displeased them.
The foremost citizen Of Angeles. a
lawyer. who had welcomed the Ameri-
cans with great show of cordiality was
found communicating with the insur-
gents. The Americans promptly
marched him off to San Fernandino to
stand trial.

Darien, Ga, Aug. 27.-There have
been no hostilities between the blacks
and militia, today. though the negroes
remain armed and the troops are pre-

by the fact that Col. Lawton, COM

STOPSUNDER FULL STEAM
APPARATUS FOR CHECKING THE
SPEED OF VESSELS.
Experiments Made by the Austrian
Lloyd Which SHOW Definite Prin-
ciple to be Applied to Liners.

The agent of the Austrian Lloyd
Steam Navigation Company in Venice
says Consul Albert Johnson, has now
brought to notice an interesting series
of experiments recently conducted at
Fiume by the director of the Lloyd
shipyards. The experiments tested the
efficiency of an invention by a Hunga-
rian engineer, Mr.. Svetkovich, for stop
ping vessels under full steam. The
Austrian Lloyd placed it's towboat Clo-
tide at the disposal of the inventor,
and three trials were made to test the
invention under different conditions.
This marine brake is a sort of para
chute of fine spring steel plates which,
when out of use, fit into one another
and hang above water.
For the first trial the apparatus was
attached to the stern of the boat, and
the steamer put on full speed. When
maximum speed was attained-in Aus
tria reckoning, 8 miles an hour-the re-
tanning hook was released, and the
parachute plunged into the water.
With a scarcely perceptible shock the
vessel came to a standstill in thirty
feet 1t was found, however, that the
rods and guys supporting the brake
were badly strained If they had not
yielded. the shock would have been
much more severe. The fact that the
supports did yield did not argue seri-
Ously against the efficiency of the
brake, but was attributed to the pro-
visiOnal character Of the arrangement.
The second trial was designed to
show how far the vessel would pro-
coed when her engines were stopped at
full speed, no brake being used. The
distance was found to be 800 yards.
The third trial measured the for
ward movement when the engines were
reversed from full speed ahead to full
speed astern. This time the Clotilde
stopped in go yards.
While the second and third trials
were in progress the marine brake was
refitted with more powerful supports,
and a fresh experiment was made.
This time the vessel stopped almost in
stantly
These results, while hardly to be
considered valid for the powerful
ocean liners, with which the necessity
for a quick stop is occasionally so
crucial, indicate that an important
principle has been introduced among
marine safeguards. The Austrian
Lloyd Company is awaiting with in
terest the results of an improvement
which Mr.. SvetkoviCh wishes to add to
his device, and seriously cOntemplates

THE BREW OF OLYMPUS

THE 'HOFFMAN." corner of Hotel
and Nuuanu streets, claims to be the
Banner resort for gentlemen and
holds the flag. L. IL. Dee, the pro-
prietor, has attained success in his
line, by specially and personally super
vising everything connected with his
establishment. He now introduces to
his patrons "Oiympia Beer" This
brew is from the Capital Brewing
Co." of Olympia, the capital of the
state of Washington, and was received
by the "Garonne." Mr.. Schmidt. the
leading spirit of this corporation, is a
practical Chemist and Brewer, and
after years of search and investigation
located his plant at Olympia, on ac-
count of the peculiar virtues of the
water of the Tum Falls. stream that
is noted for its distinctive qualities of
clearness. GOODNESS and lack of mineral
and decaying vegetable impurities.
Pure beer can only be made with pure
water. and Tum water is traditional
in Washington with the Indians and
original white settlers. The "Olympia
Draught" is under the special control
and agency of Mr.. Dee and he invites
his patrons and friends to a personal
test and is willing to abide by their
Judgment on the merits of his latest
venture.

woRKMEN DETERIoRATE.

Nothing illustrates better the true
ism that nations as we'll as individuals
decline than the ever increasing COM
plants about the WOrkmen in England
The fact seems to me that the British
artisan, at one time undoubtedly the
most energetic and industrious in the
world is developing a strange distate
for work. Thus, according to an All
quote by the Municipal Journal of Lon
don, English bricklayers lay only 400
bricks on an average per day, while
formerly they laid 1000. If a man at
tempts to work fast, he is ill treated by
his companions. Similar inertia is
compelled in all trades. An American
or German workman will accomplish
nearly twice as much as an English
man in the same trade.

A PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER.
Draws $50 a Month Pension and Lives
in a Home.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Among
pensions signed by the commissioner
on March 30th was one for $50 a month
to Mrs. Letitia Tyler Semple of this
city Mrs. Semple is the daughter of
President Tyler, and upon the death
of her mother in 1912 undertook the
duties of the lady of the white house.
She is the widow of James A. Semple,
and is pensioned for the Mexican war
service of her husband. Mrs. Semple
up to the present time has been draw
ing a pension of IS a month as Mex
lean war widow, but at the last session
of congress it was increased by special
act to $50 She is living at the Louise
Home in this city.
In granting this pension congress fol-
lowed the precedent established in the
case of Mrs. cambridge, a daughter of
President Taylor, whose first husband
was Colonel Bliss, an officer in the
United States army. Mrs. Semple rep
resents four presidents in point of re-
lationiship, namely: James Monroe,
William Henry Harrison, John Tyler
and Benjamin Harrison, all of whom
were cousins through the Armisteads
and Tylers of Virginia. A peculiar fea-
ture of the case is that Mrs. Semple's
husband was a paymaster in the navy
when the civil war broke out, and he
resigned to enter the confederate SER
vice, where he received a commission
as paymaster on the 10th of June, 1861

The time of opening the books and

said it would be nearly a month; that
nothing would be done until Mr.. Dill
bingham returned from Hawaii two
weeks hence.
The Puma plantation is still in abey-
ance. 1t will probably be the last of
