Centennial Left Honolulu Without
Clean Bill.

The Centennial got away Monday
evening for San Francisco without a
clean bill of health. Although quaran-
tine restrictions here were withdrawn
within eighteen hours after her de-
parture it is evident that the Centen-
NAL will have to undergo period of
quarantine in San Francisco as a re-
suit of her early departure from this
port.
DR.. Carmichael of the United States
Marine Hospital Service says he has
notified the San Francisco port health
authorities of the conditions here, and,
inasmuch as he has written to Wash
ington acquainting the Surgeon Gener-
al of his opinion of the bubonic plague
in Honolulu, quarantine will undoubt-
eddy be placed over the Centennial
Major Wood, who went on the trans
port as a passenger, will, however, be
enabled to go straight through to JEFF
ferson Barracks, Mo-, without being
held in quarantine.

About one o'clock the first relief,
after being taken off the patrol line
around Chinatown, was marched to the
Executive grounds where Col jones

Col. Jones said the Board OF Health

milton at a certain place; these small
companies on their march are coHtln-
ually being reinforced by other small
companies. and when they all reach the |
destination ordered there is a goodly |
number of armed men for use under |
the Field COrnet The entire country |
can be modified in this way in three
or four days.
When a town is captured the Boer
commandant issues a proclamation
stating that fact. places the town under
martial law, allows nobody to leave
without a pass, and places patrols
around the town. An order is read
calling upon the residents and non
fighting Beers for sundry munitions of
war. From one man is demanded a
horse and saddle; another a wagon;
another four or six oxen; another

BOER TREACHERY.
During the war of 1881 it was COM
mon thing for the Boer patrol TO es-
lcort someone having pass to the river,
telling him there was a ford over
which he must go, but the traveller
found, when in the river, that there
was no ford and, while he and his
horse were struggling in the water, he
would be shot. In this way many ola
grievances were scored, as also the in
nate hatred of the Boer to the Eng
lishman satisfied.
The discovery of gold changed ev-
erything in the Transvaal. The UT
landers soon outnumbered the Beers
! and, having superior intelligence and
energy, they acquired the wealth.
The British, having recovered
from the Jameson fasco, again turned
her attention to the Transvaal, anf
gave ear to the protests of the Tit
landers. On May go 1899, Paul krue
G ger and Sir A Miner met at confer
r, ence at Bloemfontein, but could no
agree on any terms satisfactory q
both sides; and the result is the pres
u ent war.
G The Beers must win or die; they ar
fighting for their homes and ~hel
country, and, believing in the OWN
q guidance and protection of Almight
- God. they will fight to the bitter enc
The struggle, though hopeless to tn
Beers. will be a terribly bloody an
costly one to both sides.

The clews thus far secured by the Sc
cret service men of the express and rail-
way companies. the city, and the Pinker-
ton agency, and all the county sherifs
and the individuals attracted by the re-
wards offered, are very vague. William
A. PiGkerton said yesterday:
"There is no clew that is promising
enough to take up as key to the case.
The robbers will be caught. Some Of
the most notorious robbers we have

months after the crime.

stories about the loss being but $4,000 is
absurd. The bank depends on reimburse

ESTIMATE OF YEARS WHEAT.
Reduction of 327, OO,OOOEushe1s from
Last Years Worlds Crop.

Il Seduction of 327 900, OOOEushe1s from
Last Years Worlds Crop.
In bulletin issued by the Agricultural
Department a careful analysis is given Of
the wheat crop of the world for 1899
based upon the estimates of recognized
conservative authorities. The production
was estimated by the Department Of Ag-
riculture in 1898 at 1907, 7OO,0 600 bushels.
Beerbohm estimates the production the
last season at z, AS, 100000 bushels, the
Bulletin DIES Halles at 2,516,0O0,0O and
the Hungarian minister of agriculture at
from 2,453, 100000 to 2,477,0OO,OO0 bush
els.
In a carefully tabulated statement it is
shown that these estimates do not cover
the same field; that some of them include
countries omitted by others. Setting
aside minor differences and taking the
countries which are included in all four
of the estimates the following result is
obtained: Estimate of Department Of Ag-
riculture, 1898, 2,79S, 100000 bushels; es-
innate Beerbohm's CornTrade List,
1899, 1898, 100000 bushels; estimate Bull
letin des Halles, 1899, 2.4S9, 600 bush
els; estimate Hungarian ministry, 1899,
2,453, 100000 to 2,477,OOO,OOO.
1t has already been seen by the report
of the Agricultural Department that sup
plementing the estimates for 1899 by the
additions for omitted countries which are
included in the estimate of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for 1898 and then
comparing the latter with the mean of
the three estimates as so modified we
get 327OOO,OOO bushels as the quantity
by which this years wheat crop falls be-
low that Of last year. On the whole a
reduction of more than 100000 900 BUSH
els is pretty safely inferred, and it would
seem that during the current crop year
the farmer should obtain satisfactory
prices for his wheat.
