ON A new BASIS
There Has Been a Re
organization of Multi.
An Interview with the Promoter
Purchase and Lease Prices.
The Prospect.

1T is understood, Mr. Waterhouse,
that the original proposition was to
make the capitalization of Multi Sugar
Company 100000, and that some
changes in these plans have been
made
Whatever arrangements that have
been made are public property, re-
piled Senator Waterhouse. Now that
they are completed l don't object stat
ing in the Advertiser that the arrange
ments are substantially as follows:
"The option price for the purchase
81 100000. The owners of Multi were
not disposed to sell the property but
were induced finally to grant an OPP
ton at 100000. An effort by the
promoters had been made to secure
lands in fee simple which, it was
thought at the time the option was
made, would make the proposition a
good one, even if as high figure as
81 100000 was paid for the Multi prop
erty. Instead OF securing a fee simple
80
view we have succeeded in securing a
lease for a term of thirty years of the
most valuable of these properties, Ha-
lava, at a very favorable rental. Hence
only a small amount of capital is re-
CURED to place it in the possession of
the company.
Since We secured this valuable
leasehold, thorough and complete
analysis of the values of Multi and
HalaWa has been made, resulting in
a cash offer OF S750,O0O by us to Judge
Hart for Null. Halawa is subject to
a lease of $4,000 a year, which in
cludes all the sugar and coffee lands,
mill, machinery, implements, tools,
animals, chattels, plantation equip
ment, and everything appertaining to
the property, including 500 tons of
sugar. Every expense connected with
Halawa has been paid for up to April
Goth.
"The total charge for promotion fees,
including all expenses, is $50 900, MAX
ing the total amount paid for all the
property as above named, 100000.
1T is estimated by competent
authority that an expenditure of $780,
900 on the Multi mill, to improve it to
such an extent that it will be able to
take OH crop OF seven or eight thou
sand tons of sugar, would be sufficient.
At the present time this mill loses
large percentage of the sugar.
at is therefore proposed to capital
ize at 81 100000. OF this amount, $780,
600 fully paid up stock will be issued
to cover the cost Of the properties
above described, leaving a balance of
100000 OF unissued stock in the treas
ury Of the company, to be used for the
improvements Of the mill and other
property, subject to the direction of the
company.
Multi contains 5000 acres in fee
simple and IT'S acres under leasehold.
Halawa contains an area of 24OO acres,
under lease.
There is at present under sugar
cane cultivation 1900 acres on Multi
and 100 acres On Halawa, making a
total Of 1900 acres under cultivation.
"The crop Of sugar for the current
year, 1899. is estimated to be, from
Multi, 24O0 tons, and balance from Ha-
lava, 600 tons, making in all 5000
tons. Next years crops are estimated
to be for the combined estates, 1000

AMONG THE CANNIBALS.
A Travellers Experience with the
Man Eaters of West Africa.


Mr.. P. A Mccain has had 10 years
actual residence in west Africa. Mr..
McCann's seven years trading and resi-
dence with the cannibal tribes Of the
French Gaboon probably form the most
exciting part of his experiences. He got
studied their habits and customs. They
quite believed that the white men ate
white men as they themselves eat their
fellow blacks. A big chief offered Mr..
McCann the smoked thigh of a native.
This was considered gracious act. To
refuse it would be unfriendly. Mr.. Nc
Cam was in dilemma.
But he feigned illness, said he was
not eating just then. The chief eventu-
ally put the matter off good naturally
by saying he supposed the white man
preferred white man to eat instead OF
black man. '"The Mpongwes, said Mr..
Mccain, care in ferocious and pugna-
cious qualities second to no other tribe
in Africa. Their villages mostly consist
of a single street from 500 to 800
yards long, on each side of which are
the houses In these houses they cook,
eat and sleep and keep their store OF
provisions, the chief of which is smoked
game and smoked human flesh, hung
up to the rafters.
"Altheugh ferocious and quarrelsouas
to degree, they are very Industrious.
They show considerable skill in tbs
manufacture of pottery, and the designs
of their cooking pots, water Jars, to-
bacco pipes and palm wine bottles are
extremely artistic. In ironwork they
are also skillful workers. Although they
kill game for food, they much prefer
human meat to any other. London

Where the Crabs Come In.

When school of menhaden make
their way into bay, they may stay
for days swimming around in one re-
glon. Larger fishes, including perhaps
some sharks, feed upon them there.
From such feeding there are more or
less fragments that sink down through
the water, and the various crabs and
other crustaceans come scuttling from
all parts Of the bay to get them. It
may be that the tide carries some Of
the litter about, or perhaps the crabs
and other creatures smell it, as bluefsh
scent the bait that is used in chum-
ming, but when school Of menhaden
are preyed upon at the surface all thu
crabs in the bay congregate on the mud
below to catch the crumbs that fall. -

"You can't tell me there is nothing

| marked travelling man, "for I know
there is. I was down in Florida recent
~, and in St Augustine l saw snob
dog-an out and out snob. His name is
Towser, and he is just a common yell
low dog, lives in the street and belongs
to no one.
lin the summer, when no wealthy
northern people are in the town, he
plays with all the middle class children
and dogs and will greet patronizingly
the middle class men and women who
know him. But in the winter, as soon
as the season begins, he attaches him
self to some rich New York family,
loafs in their yard, tags their footsteps
or carriages all about the city, attends
them to church and home again and
SO far as he is able makes himself one
OF them. For his meals he has been
forced to resort to the back yards Of
plain, good woman, who pities him and
feeds him regularly. He is friendly
with her at his eating hours, but never
SO far forgets himself as to wag his tail
at her on the street or when he is with
more pretentious people.
"When society functions take place in
st. Augustine, there is Towser Golf
matches, afternoon teas picnics or boat
ing parties, all are attend ed by him
with most conventional regularity. He
never greets any ordinary acquaintance
when thus socially engaged and has
even been known not to eat for several
days when a fashionable wedding was
on his mind. With the swell dogs of
st. Augustine Towser never has any
rows, having, no doubt, studied the
polite art of being agreeable, but with
commoner cuts he is irritable and de-
fensive. That dog has been human in
his time, and I'd give penny to know
who he was '-Indianapolis Journal.

CABLED BY OTIS.

Filipino Government Not Recognized,
but Amnesty Is Promised.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-General Otis
has cabled the war department that his
conference with the Filipinos has ter
minated. He said that they wanted
three weeks in which to allow their
congress to decide whether hostilities
should cease. The proposition was de-
clined. The representatives retired to
the insurgent lines. General Otis says
the insurgents are tired of fighting and
are no doubt seeking the best terms. In
another cable General Otis expresses
thanks to the president for his appre-
citation of the work of the army in the
Philippines. ~ "af asH 3
1t is stated at the war department
that the insurgent leaders probably will
confer and seek another conference
with General Otis, and that the general
will no doubt grant general amnesty.
The full text of the dispatches from
General Otis are as follows:
Conference with insurgent repre-
sentatives has terminated. Their request
of cessation of hostilities for three
weeks to enable them to call their con-
gress to decide whether to continue
the prosecution of war or propose terms
IF peace. Proposition declined and full
amnesty promised on surrender. Be-
lieve insurgents tired of war, but seek
to secure terms of peace through what
they denominate their representative
congress-"

grateful, will be conveyed as directed

burning Of Muck Soils.

1t is frequently found that muck
soils, even after the most careful drain
ing are still unproductiye. The fer
tilizing matter which they contain Is
in unavailable condition for plants. A
common practice in Ireland and in Eu-
roPean countries is to pare the surface
and after drying to burn the organic
matter. This practice Of burning has
been condemned as exhausting the soil,
but without good reason. The burning
should not extend more than 70 TO 10
inches. and Il destroys very little avail
able food plant. 1t is recommended as
one Of the quickest methods Of putting
muck soils into condition for the
growth Of csops.-Dainage Journal.

Road DRAINAGE Tbat Drn,n.

One authority on the subject of road
draining claims that in prairie soil a
good road can be obtained for II months
in the year by simply putting in a good
system Of tile drainage, slightly round
ing the road bed and sowing grass seed
so that the roots may aid the drainage.
II the road surface is TO perform the
service Of roof 1t must be protected
from the action Of the narrow wagon
wheels. A sharp turn is always IN bet
ter condition than the straight portions
of the road. A little thought shows at
once that this is due 10 the fact that the
front and rear wheels do not follow
each other and therefore do not form
ruts. A slight difference in the length
Of the front and rear axles of
wagons with the use Of wide tires would
accomplish more for roads, considering
the expense involved, than any other
one thing.-Western Plowman.
