No man goes slow if he has the chance
of going fast, no man stops to talk If he
can talk walking. no man walks IL he
can ride in trolly car, no one goes In
a trolly car If he can get a convenient
steam car, and by and by no one will go
in steam car if he can be shot through
a pneumatic tube. No one writes with
his own hand if he can dictate to a
steuographer, no one dictates If he can
telegraph, no one telegraphs if he can
telephone. and by and by, when the
spirit of American invention has brought
wireless telegrsphy into thorough con
dition, a man will simply sit with his
mouth at one hole and his ear at another,
and do business with the ends OF the
earth in a few seconds. which the same
machine will copy and preserve in letters

regret that at present he can do nothing

ployment will be found for them in the
coming age. Ian Maclaren, on New

MARTIAL LAW IN MANILA
WONDERFUL EFFECT OF THE
NEW ORDER.
The Utmost Quiet Prevails-Streets
Deserted at Night-Chinese Extend
Many Good Offices to Americans.
Special Correspondence to The Star.

Special Correspondence to The Star.
MANILA, February 10.-As we have
been in a state of siege from the Fill
pinos ever since entering Manila, and
could not get out into the country at
all, being forbidden both by the Anne
rican authorities and the Filipino, the
present situation is a relief. The ma
tives have been treated kindly and in
a liberal manner, by the Americans,
considering the fact that the city was
under military rule. People could go
about at any time of the day or night,
and good order was kept. But the ma
tives were sulky and insolent, and all
of them that were employed by the
Americans had to take out licenses
from Aguinaldo. The natives all car
ried big knives and tried to kill the
guards.
The FiliDinos moved their lines to
within twenty feet of ours, and then
the city was put under the most rigid
martial law. 1t has been effective, too,
and the quiet and order this city has
experienced while such exciting scenes
have been going on within two miles
is simply amazing. Manila with a
population of 100000 of eXcitable ma
tives is as orderly as my native New
England village on a Sunday This
has been done by the most rigid rules.
All Spanish soldiers must be inside
the walled city at p. m. and inside
their quarters at s. There are 1000 of
these soldiers here yet. All saloons
are closed at $3.50 and every native is
off the streets by 10. The gates of the
walled city and all of the bridges are
closely guarded, and there is a con-
stant searching of natives and other
suspicious people for concealed weap-
ons going on. After 10 o'clock the
streets are deserted except for a few
white civilians and the guards
There is a great change in the con-
duct of the natives. While they used
to resent being searched, they now
seem to like it. They take off their
hats to all American soldiers and smile
and hold their hands up at full length
while being searched, and give way on
the narrow sidewalks to all Americans.
They obey all orders instantly. The
few who did not are with the angels.
All this may seem harsh, but it is
necessary. The natives have a mania
for carrying knives and cutting each
other and Americans when they can.
The sternest measures are necessary
to discourage the native knife carry
ing habit.
The Chinese here in Manila are, and
have been, very friendly to the Anne
| ricans. Many have been in the Unit
ed States and made money and start
ed in business here. They speak good
English. There is one Chinese here who
was a cook in q lumber camp in Cali
fornia for eight years. He now runs a
bakery and makes bread for four reg
iments of American troops. He is very
smart and generous. During the hard
| fighting of February 5th and 9Th he
sent buffalo carts loaded with bread
to the firing lines as gift to the boys.

MORE CHINESE QUESTIONS
CONSULAR PASSPORTS MAY NOT
BE VALID.
Five Women Having No Other Permits
Required to Give Bond Before Being
Allowed Ashore.

All of the Chinese who have been at
the quarantine station pending the de-
cision of the treasury on their status,
are now physically out of the custody
of the United States. Seven of them
however are not out of the woods.
Two are in the custody of the Ha-
waiian government, charged in effect
with having fraudulent permits. These
two have been rejected by Agent
Brown because they did not have the
qualifications required by the Hawaii
an statutes. The Hawaiian govern
ment will not have to see that they are
deported unless it should be decided
to prosecute them criminally
The other five are women who have
come on consular passports, issued by
the Hawaiian consul at Hongkong.
These simply certify that the women
to whom they are issued have rela-
tions by blood or marriage resident in
the Hawaiian Islands. Some of them
were issued subsequent to the arrival
here of Agent Brown and indicate that
the consul is still continuing to issue
them. AS the Hawaiian government
cannot issue permits now Agent Brown
does not see how consul of the gov
ernment can. Pending a decision on
the subject and instructions from the
treasury department. a bond has been
required of these five before they were
released The bond is conditioned that
if the decision of the treasury is ad-
verse to them they will leave the coun-
try.
About the two men finally and con-
clusvely rejected there are peculiari-
ties They left Honolulu many years
ago, before there were such things as
contracts and return permits. Decid-
ing recently to come back they told the
consul at Hongkong that they were
born in Hawaii, and by that means
obtained full permits Collector NC
Stocker and Agent Brown found up
on investigation that the men were
not really born here, and thus their
only claim to a landing in the country
was knocked out.

FOR THE LEPERS.

DR.. Alvarez, specialist at Kalihi, is
forward with a suggestion that the
charitibly disposed people of the city
buy the merry go round near the de-
pot and present it to the patients at
the settlement on Molokai. He be-
lieves the institution will afford no end
of amusement and pleasure to the sick.
DIR. Alvarez thinks the complete ap-
paratus could be purchased for about
$500 to $400, and half that amount more
would operate it a very long time. 1t
is desired that some good man take the
matter up and push it through.

MINISTER KING.

There has been more talk around the
city today about the effort to get Min
lister King out of the cabinet, and some
feeling is shown in the matter. 1t was
a surprise to many that another cabi-
net officer should have appeared in the
role of leading the scalp dance. There
will be other developments, but it be-
gins to look like Minister King has
stronger grip on his portfolio than
some people imagined.

AGAINST DISARMAMENT.
Company d VIII Confer With Minister
Cooper on the Matter.

At a meeting of Company ID held
last evening the matter of disband-
ment was discussed for nearly two
hours. There was quite a large gath
ering and sentiment was unanimous
against going out of service. All pres
ent agreed, as an answer to the charge
that they had lost interest, to turn out
to drills and to pull together for the
upbuilding of the company.
1t was decided to send a committee
of five to interview Major Mccarthy,
Colonel Jones and Minister Cooper on
the subject of revoking the order OF
disbandment First Sergeant O. White
head, Sergeant G.. w. Kiester, Sergeant
II. V. Arnold, Private j. w Short and
Private j. b. German, were appointed.
Company ID will turn out with the
regiment at 12:45 p. m. tomorrow.

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make. This is
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
ity, easy running and simple construc-
ton. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small.
When in need of a new sewing ma
chine examine the Singer before pur-
chasing any other make. b. Berger

MISSIONARIES FOR GUAM.
Three Sail on the Schooner Bessie E.
Stevens.

The little twenty-five ton schooner
Bessie Il. Stevens got away at last for
Guam today. She cleared for Manila
via Guam. She carried twelve persons
besides her crew. Three of these go
as missionaries to Guam. They are
Jose Castino and Jose Castino, Jr.,
and Edward Supery. The others are
Douglas Bell, a surveyor and his wife,,
Jared d. Rumberg and wife and James
Rumberg, tourists. Allan Johnson, a
sailor, and Benjamin Havner the
owner of the schooner, his wife and
daughter.
There was quite a gathering of
friends to see the party off, quite a
number of people being interested in
the missionaries who are going to
Guam.
The schooner sailed out of the chan
mel with a good breeze and with big
spread of canvas was soon lost sight OF
beyond the horizon.
