Rumors of Eagsn's Wealth.

When General Esgan was giving
his testimony at the court-martial
in Washington his attorney asked
him il he had ever received any pro-
fit or benefit out Of the large con-
tracts he let for army supplies. The
general answered.: mo, on my hon
or and before God, not one cent OF
profit did ever receive; and yet
my office disbursed millions OF dol.
lars; and l am now so poor that 1
cannot even pay your fee"
1t would seem from the foregoing
statement that General Eagan is
almost poverty stricken, or at least
he desires that impression to go
abroad. There are men in this city
who could never be convinced that
General Eagan is a bankrupt. His
son, Charles E. Eagan, is reputed to
be wealthy. He is treasurer of the
Olaa Coffee Plantation Company, an
enormously wealthy corporation,
owning several thousand acres of
fertile land in the vicinity of Hilo,
Hawaii. Young Eagan is said to be
one of the heaviest owners of stock
10 the company.
Rumor has it that General Eagan
received 100000 not long ago from
wealthy California bonanza king.
The general is said to have invested
the money in his wife's name in a
coffee plantation in Hawaii.-S. F..

Sad News.

The mail yesterday brought very
cad news to Capt, Griffiths, of the
bark Albert, who was apprised OF
the death of his son Alfred, which
occurred in San Francisco on the
9TH inst.
When the Albert arrived few
days ago the many friends of the
young fellow we're pleased to learn
from the popular skipper that he
left the boy much improved and on
the high road to recovery. 1t was
not to be 30, however, and after a
relapse young Griffiths succumbed
and joined the majority that has
gone ahead in the procession of life
and death.
Alfred Griffiths was a promising
young man, the pride of his father
and trusted employee of j. D.
Spreckels & Co. He was we'll known
in Honolulu as leading bicyclist
who took part in several public races
here.
His father who, for many years,
has sailed between San Francisco
and Hawaii, and is "kamaaina"
here, has the sincere sympathy of
the community in his sad bers save
ment-so much sadder as be is far
from his dead and his home.

A Clever Sketch.

The last number of the Town and
Country Journal published in Sgd
ney, contains a very clever and we'll
written article about Hawaii from
the pen of j. Martin Miller, the spe-
cial correspondent of several lead
ing American journals who recently
spent few monts in Honolulu.
Miller writes a sketch which is
charming in describing Hawaii nei,
fair in mentioning political circum-
stances as he found them, and
sparkling as an all-round review.

try Journal can be obtained at the

A Big Land Deal.

The prosperous real estate man
G. S. Desky has made another big
deal which will lead to the further
expansion" of the residence portion
of Honolulu and add more coin to
the piles of the brilliant Spectator.
He has succeeded in purchasing the
"high" lands of the Booth estate in
Pauoa, comprising about $50 acres,
and intends to open the fine tract
for residence purposes. Roads will
be constructed and houses will go
up, and the land which has been
lying idle for years will, under the
magic touch of Desky's hand, be-
come prosperous suburb.
Mr.. Booth has reserved his home
stead and all of the lands in the val
ley proper, and the figure paid by
Mr. Desky must be written by six
figures-so says Dame Rumor.
That the speculation will be a
success to Mr.. Desky goes without
saying. He knows what he is about
and deserves every time the hearty
applause and support of the COM
munity for his daring and sound
enterprises which always result in
the advantage of Hawaii. nei.

When the new regime is establish
ed here the ancient and crude pass
port law will cease to exist, in fact
we think it has already outlined it's
legal usefulness as far as travelling
from Hawaii to Mainland. The law
was at all times a disgrace to the
country. 1t made the Government
"dunner" in the services of those
who took their chances by trusting
the people who came along. In
many instances the Government
through the infamous passport law
assisted men who had loaned out
money at usurious rates and who
held back their victims simply to
see whether they could be bled
some more or if not for the pleasure
of showing that behind their nefar-
ious transaction was the good, honest
and Christian government of Hawaii.
When the Anticipated passport law
is thing of the past, the credit sys-
tenn will reach proper basis and a
line be drawn between those who stay
and those who may 60 away. The
newspapers will never be bothered.
Nobody ever dreams of paying.
1t is a pity that the race track
cannot be placed in shape that
would make it possible for race
meeting to be arranged for the oath
of May. As it is the horse owners
may feel happy if they get show
to have their animals in proper
training for the 11tb of June. We
fail to see why the Jockey Club
should feel obliged to wait for the
"cash" from Washington before put
ting a working force on and repair
ing or even rebuilding the track. Is
the Jockey Club 80 poor that it
could not raise couple of thousand
dollars for the track even after the
bills against the war department
had been marked o. K. 1t doesn't
speak we'll for our very Exclusive"
organization the hackers OF which
evidently lack hard coin or
the right spirit to keep up the
noble sport. We understand that
small race meeting will be
arranged at the Waialua track on
the opening day of the new hotel,
which is slated to take place in
March. Some of the horses might
be taken over there just to keep
their 'feet" in it until the Jockey
Club wakes up and makes another
"fzzle" of the national race day.
Some OF the Jockey Club men will
probably feel more at home in a
"bull" fight than in horse racing,

Durham, Natal Nov. 19.-The Times of
Natal publishes the following, dated
November Is, from it's special cores
pondent at Ladysmith: The enemy
made determined attack on Thursday.
November g. Apparently all the Boer
forces participated. The artillery
opened fire at p. H., pouring shells
thick and fast upon the British posi-
tions, although with no great effect.
The Beers adopted the usual tactics of
advancing under cover of the guns to
positions on the edges and kopjes ada
cent to those occupied by the British
troops on the left of our camp. Con-
unuing the advance, the Beers crept up
using every available means of cover.
Our infantry opened with a steady.
warm fire. which beat back the enemy.
Notwithstanding a display of tenacitv
of purpose equal to their desperat,
stands on previous occasions. The Bcer
attack was most elaborate on all sides
or the town. The main attack. how
ever, was made between the Free State
and New Castle railroad lines by a col
umn composed chiefly of Johannesburg
volunteers. A brigade of kings royaI
rifles corps made a splendid defense.
The Beers were repulsed, but soon ral-
lied and returned to the attack Again
the British fire, which was very hot.
forced them to retire. They had made
n deep trench in front of the British
lines and. while Withdrawing for their
horses, left this unguarded, whereupon
the kings rifles. advancing at a double
quick, occupied the trench. The move
was not seen by the enemy, who soon
returned with horses. Carefully reserv-
ing their fire, the Kings rifles allowed
the Beers to advance almost to the
edge of the trench and then poured vol
ley after volley into the astounded
Beers, who turned and fled from the
awful hail of bullets, boiling across the
open, where the artillery of the British
poured in a terribly effective shell fire.
The enemy lost heavily. Meanwhile an
other section of Beers brought a NOR
tar into action, firing heavy shells Our
guns We're concentrated on it and soon
silenced this weapon. the enemy's ar
tillerymen fleeing headlong. The Beers
then advanced in force with a view of
repairing the mortar, but our artillery
shelled and scattered them right and

o'clock.

Arthur Leaves Two Companie S
of the Thiriy-Sixih af Corona.

Manila. Nov 19.-The following dis
correspondents of the Associated Press
accompanying the American advance
northward: Corona, Nov. Is. General
Macarthur entered Corona this after
Monday, after burning the depot.
Nothing else was destroyed. Corona is
the first town along the Manila &
Dagupan railway where the natives
did not run at the approach of the
Americans. The padres offered quar-
ters in the church and convent. The
town has one good house. Corona is
the seat of heavy English sugar inter
ests. The trip here was a hard one
and occupied six hours to cover seven
miles and half. Most of the time was
spent in fording a quarter of mile
flood running out of Rio Tarlac. We
have no wagons and pack mules, and
native bearers carry all the supplies.
The natives here say that BayOmbOng
was occupied last Sunday by mounted
troops, probably General Young's bri-
gade of General Lawton's division.
The people here are of a better class
than we have usually found and well
coined the Americans, as they evident
ly realized that the agricultural inter
ests will revive. General Macarthur
said: I'VE seem to be entering a diff
ferent atmosphere. People here seem
to be less attached to Aguinaldo's
cause than those in many towns we
have been in on the railroad line. The
command will move northward at day
break tomorrow toward Bayombong.
Corona will be garrisoned with two
companies of the Thirty-sixth."

EsTCOURT IN DANGER.

London, Nov. 19.-The war Office post
ed the following telegram today from
Gen. Sir Redvers Butler to the Marquis
of Lansdowne: Cape Town, Nov. IS,
9:35 p. m.-Following is from the gen
eral commanding at Pietermartinsburg:
Today at a. m. the officer command
ing our northern outposts reported that
the enemys mounted patrols were ad-
vancing across the whole country, from
the Gourton road to Ulandi, moving on
Estcourt. My force stood to arms. The
outposts reported various bodies, from
500 to 700 strong, advancing on Est
court from a northwesterly direction
One party, 500 strong, moved toward the
railroad bridge, a half mile northwest
of Estcourt. Our outposts fired on the
enemy and one of the naval guns fired
a shell at 800 yards range, the shell
bursting close to the enemy, who then
hurriedly retired. At - o'clock re-
ports were received from three pickets
that a large number of Beers were in
sight on the hill above LesIie's home
stead. The troops have returned to
camp.
This mornings news gives little that
alters the complexion of the situation.
Since the fight of November matters,
so far as known, have been fairly quiet
at Ladysmith. 1t is not unlikely that
the Beers, being badly informed as to
the nature and extent of the British
preparations to advance to the relief of
the town, may be hesitating regarding
their next movement. The situation in
Natal is very complicated.

EDUCATING POOR 20
Inter eSiing Annual Report of Com
missioner Jones.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The annual
report of the commissioner Of Indian
affairs, VIM. a. Jones, besides review
ing the progress of affairs in all
branches of the service, urges more
schools, more systematic methods, a
study of the individual traits and the
consideration of subsequent environ
ment in outlining studies in Indian
schools. The entire educational system
of the Indian office, he says is predi-
Gated on the final adjustment of the
anomalous Indian reservation system.
There are now 2O,S99 boys and girls in
attendance at various Indian schools
out of an enrolment of over %, 900. The
Indian population has remained sta
tionary and there has been such a
steady increase in the number of In
dians being educated as to warrant the
opinion that the next quarter of a CEN
tury will witness not the diminution Of
the Indian population, but the exiting
Gishment of the Indian tribes. One dis
couraging factor however, is disclosed
by the unsatisfactory results of the past
years trial of co-education of Indians
with whites in public schools. The re
port says the results Of this co-educa-
ton are not commensurate with the ex-
penditure, that the idea theoretically is
an admirable expedient for breaking
down prejudices and civilizing the In
dian, but the figures show it is not an
unqualified success. The full-blood
who needs such contact most, is rarely
secured and the ground work at least
of Indian education must be laid under
the governments auspices and control.
Stronger measures for forcing attend
ance on Indian schools are urged. There
are 2500 employees in the Indian service
and the policy is to employ the Indians
for every position to which they are
adapted by nature and education. The
removal of the Perris school in South
ern California and its rebuilding in a
more suitable locality will be recon-
mended to congress.
