agreements. This has been faithfully done
by the small planters generally; and probably
for the reason that they are fully aware that
but for the liberal conditions offered by the
plantations, the system could not have come
into existence. 1t is not for one moment
claimed, however, that the plantations have
been moved in this matter by any than bust
ness considerations; nevertheless, the results
to the small planters have been just as bene-
hcent as though the undertakings had pro-
ceeded from motives of philanthropy.
This report provoked the usual discussion.
Mr.. Horner thought labor might be obtained
from the Philippines and he also thought
Asiatic labor here might be improved. 1t
has been the habit of the Chinese and Japan
ese to allow the slowest man in the gang to
set the pace. Mr.. Baldwin did not believe in
profit sharing, but he thought it practical to
give laborer certain percentage on every
ton of cane. Mr.. Oeding believed in negro
labor and that the laps were bad element.
Judge Hart was against the negro very
emphatically. DR.. Maxwell said Italians
were doing we'll in louisiana, and if planters
were to import negroes, they would get only
the riff. raft from the cities. Mr.. Baldwin
again took the floor, saying the planters
should do the best they can to keep what
they have, as there were to be no more con.
tracts. He favored cooperation. Mr.. Nor.
rison suggested that the plantations be made
more attractive to the Asiatcs. Mr.. Kropp
thought labor was being drafted to no incon.
siderable extent from the plantations. Presi.
dent Cooke conceded with Mr.. Morrison's
suggestions and added that hospitals, like
that at Lihue, might be introduced.
After nstructing the trustees to appoint
committee of three to report on labor, the
meeting adjourned sine die.

A Hawaiian Dramatist.

Advices are to hand from Honolulu from
T. d. Beasley, late of this city, which indi.
cate that the presentation of his one-act
Chinese drama Golden Flower in Albany,
N. Y, was great success. The drama was
written in conjunction with w. N. Lawrence,
who is Daniel Frohman's manager at the
Lyceum theater, New York. The manner in
which the piece was written is somewhat in
teresting. About two years ago, Mr.. Law
renee came to San Diego with the Lyceum
company. He then mentioned the plot to
Mr.. Beasey, and the finished scenario was
forwarded to him by mail. Meeting with his
approval, the play was then written within
six days, and was accepted. Just at that time
the interest in Chinese dramas temporarily
died out, with the failure of "The First Born"
in London, and it was not until a few weeks
ago that an opportunity occurred for the pre-.
sentation of the "Golden Flower" The
eastern press speaks highly of the clever
work.-San Diego Union, Nov,
Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-11-25

important paper on this moot question was
one prepared by DR.. Maxwell, who, acting as
Spe ia Agent for Hawaii of the U. S. De-
p"'lnlent of Agriculture, had, at the request
al Senator Cullom, rendered report for the
instruction of Congress. In this report,
which was read before the meeting, the
author cites the different kinds of labor en-
industry, with their relative degrees of profit
to the planters. Concerning free laborers,
the report goes on to say:
The Portuguese and some smaller numbers
of Germans and Anglo Saxons, who have
worked on plantations, have not only borne
the work, but have rendered more and a
higher class of labor which is attested by the
high rate of compensation they have received.
This statement can be compared with the
labor rolls of numerous plantations employ
ing mixed nationalties. Also the more tax
ing indoor work of the iron foundries and
machine shops of Honolulu is mainly done
by white labor, chiefly imported from the
mainland. At this time complete sewerage
system is being put in throughout the streets
OF Honolulu, The contractor is from San
Francisco. This man brought some twenty
white laborers from California to do the
heaviest work in laying down the pipes
Bearing upon the question of the "induce
ments offered" to white labor, in the first
place, the compensation paid to free laborers
may be considered. In brief report on
Labor Conditions in Hawaii" made by the
writer six months ago it is stated that the
average wages per day of all laborers is
equal to that of the mixed labor of Louisiana
and that the wages of unskilled Portuguese
labor on stated plantations was forty three
per cent. greater than that of the Asiatics
Since that date wages have risen all round
on the Islands, and to day the average wage
of all nationalites is not less than eighty
cents per day, whilst plantations exceeds one
dollar per working day. The free laborers
have further the opportunity to become indi'
vidual planters, growing cane to be sold al
stated prices per ton to the large plantations
or according to several forms of system O
profit sharing they may cooperate with the
plantations and receive such share of the
results as may have been mutually decided
upon. TO become independent planters
growing and selling the cane to the planta
tons, is the more popular system with tht
men, and it is extending with considerable
rapidly. The reason of the greater popular
ity OF this system lies in the circumstances
that the men can work not only when they
feel Inclined but when their labor is mos
effective. Further, they are able to engage
the help of their families at any season whel
the work is pressing. Moreover, this system
contributes to the spirit and possibilities o
independence, much of whose results arr
good and praseworthy. Concerning thu
means by which free laborers have alread,
become planters, and through which mean
Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-11-25

free labor of all nationalites can continue to
do SO, an example is given in some detail,
which sets forth the principle and serves as
an illustration of other cases. The Hilo
Sugar Company encouraged and entered into
agreements with free laborers to grow cane
on its own and adjoining lands. Such lands
as could not be cultivated by the plantation
with horse labor were lent free of rent; other
lands are rented at from nominal price up
to eight dollars per acre, as determined by the
value of each specific lot. Where necessary
which is so in most cases of free laborers
entering upon this system, the plantation
makes advances of money to meet the living
and other expenses of the small planters dur
ing the period that their crops are in growth.
These allowances are refunded when the crop
is harvested. The crop is purchased by the
plantation according to the scale of prices
which is based on the quality of the cane and
the prices of sugar in New York, or in other
cases according to conditons all of which are
set forth in drawn agreements, approved and
signed by the growers and manufacturers of
the cane. Forms of these several kinds of
agreement can be readily obtained, and have
already been furnished to authorities requr-
ing to see and to use them. Relating to the
example now under consideration, the writer
was present in the Office of the said planta-
ton four weeks ago when the manager was
renewing contracts, and making advances of
money to the planters upon the growing crop.
Some thirty of those planters were there.
The appearance of thrift, responsibility, and
air of business responsibility of those men
was nothing short of impressive when it was
remembered that every one of them had
arrived as contract men few years ago, and
without d dollar to them. In the course of
conversation the manager said, "Yes |
paid out 800, 900 to those small planters last
year, and their production is still increasing
He said further: "Oh yes! they all seem
very content, and even proud of their posi-
ton. And they may we'll bel They not only live
we'll, but some of them have balances of $1,000
to $4,000 to their names; whilst others make
trips home to Japan in good style to see their
friends. They all turn up again, though
AS these men were leaving the managers
office, the writer noticed that most of them
were riding their own horses or mules. The
ways that have been opened to existing small
planters are open to white aborers of all
nationaities upon those conditions that are
necessary to make the independent planter
, system and other co operative systems a
success. The proposition of relative indie
pendence and security, and the compensation
which have come to numbers of those PEG
pies who came into the country through the
contract labor system offered to all free
labor entering the country, and at once, and
without the preliminary period of enjoined
service through which contract laborers have
worked up to their present state. Only, all
laborers, independent of nationality, must
subscribe to the requirements of the system,
and honestly stand by the conditions Of the

Declares There Has Been No News
Censorship In Washington.
washington, July 1S.-The publica-
ton of the war correspondents formal
indictment of General Otis manage
ment of the Philippine campaign caused
sensation in the departments here.
Secretary Hay had received advices as
late as yesterday from civil as we'll as
military sources in the Philippines
which led him to declare that the sit
uation there was certainly improved
materially, and that the prospects for
the future had frightened very much.
With these advices, the secretary said,
General Otis had had nothing to do,
and they were from disinterested per-
sons whose opinions must carry weight.
Generally there was strong disinclina-
tion exhibited by the officials to dis
cuss this last "round robin" General
Miles, who was acting as secretary of
war, in the absence of Secretary AL
ger and Assistant Secretary Meikel-
john, would not comment upon the dis
patch, and Adjutant General Corbin
took the same attitude.
Regarding statements that cable dis
| patches received in Washington and
| other news regarding the war had been
censored, contrary to the usual GUS
tom, Adjutant General Corbin said:
"The censure of the so-called CEN
sored press is without Just cause, and
evidently made under misapprehen-
sion of facts. There has been no in
formation received from General Otis
that has not been given to the press
promptly, and every fair minded rep
resentative Of the press will bear wit
ness to this statement, The standing
| instructions of the president and Sec
rotary of War Alger are that the
public shall be given all information
we receive. This has been done, and
will continue TO be done. OF course,
plans of campaigns that would be OF
help to Aguinaldo and other rebels
have not and will not be promulgated
but all facts of events transpired have
been given in fullness,"

Manila. July II. by way Of Hong
Kong. July tS.-The constantly in
creasing strictness Of the censorship
Of press dispatches from Manila, which
has prevented the cabling to the United
States OF anything that did not reflect
official views of important events and
conditions, has resulted in united
effort on the part of correspondents
here to secure an abatement Of the
rigor of censorship. The initiative in
this direction was taken a month ago.
and resulted In the framing Of state
ment which was presented on Sunday,
July o, to Major General Otis, with a
request for permission to telegraph 1t
to the United States.
The correspondents also asked that
they be allowed to cable to their re-
spective papers all facts and the diff
ferent phases of events. The cOrre-
spondents had two long interviews
with General Otis, In the course of
which they complained that the evil
dent purpose of the censorship was not
to keep information from the enemy,
but to keep from the public a knowl-
| edge of the real condition of affairs
| here. 1t was also asserted that news
| papers printed In Manila, which reach
| the enemy quickly, are permitted TO
publish statements similar to those
which correspondents are forbidden to
cable. 1t was made clear to General
| Otis that the objection was to the sys-
| tenn and not to the censor.
! General Otis finally promised greater
! liberality, agreeing to pass all news
that he might consider not detrimental
to the interests of the United States.
General Otis appointed Captain Green,
of his stan, censor.
The statement of the correspondents
declares:
1--WE believe that, owing to official
dispatches from Manila made public
in Washington, the people of the Uni
ted States have not received a correct
impression of the situation in the
Philippines, but that these dispatches
have presented an ultra-optimisticv view
that is not shared by the general Off
GERS in the field.
1--WE believe the dispatches incor-
rectly represent the existing conditions
among the Filipinos in respect tC
dissension and Generalization result
ing from the American campaign and
to the brigand character of their army
eve believe the dispatches err in the
declaration that the situation is well
In hand and in the assumption that the
insurrection can be speedily ended
without a greatly increased force.
1--WE think the tenacity of the Fill
plno purpose has been underestimate
and that the statements are unbound
ed that volunteers are willing to en-
gage in further service.
"The censorship has compelled III
to participate in this misrepresentation
by exercising or altering uncontrovert
ed statements of facts on the plea, a
General Otis stated, that they woult
alarm the people at home"
