SUIT ABOUT A LEASE.

merchants and rice planters, have be-
gun a suit against Mrs. Margaret Car
ter, wife of Dr. Carter of Koolau, for
relief and an injunction. This is land
matter and involves a valuable lease
of same. The property is a part OF
that comprised in the Lane estate. 1t
appears from the petition that Mrs.
nese firm but that petitioners bought
the lease for $11 900.
A short time ago Mrs, Carters agent
refused to accept the rental and soon
after that defendant went on the land,
ostensibly to take charge Of it. The
Chinese sue for specific performance of
the terms of the lease and such other
relief as the court may deem proper.

SOLDIER AND MULES.
The Jag of the Former Helped Out a
Street Sensation.

A soldier who wears a badge of Il
United States marshal under his coat,
had lively time with a drove of five
mules this morning. He and the beasts
were from the transport Victoria. The
soldier was attempting to take his
charge to the paddock in Iwilei, but
had a liquid load aboard that proved
too much for him. Near the telephone
Office there was trouble and more Of it
at King and Alakea streets. Finally
the mules became disgusted, unani-
mously deserted their hostler and ran
into the old Gulick lot. There the ropes
We're tangled in a tree and halt was
necessary.
A big crowd gathered Leaning
against a tree the jolly boy in blue eX-
planned his position, while the mules
browsed on the tough grass and
thought things. A policeman called but
could not help the situation. Ultimate
ly news reached the Victoria and an
other soldier came and took the mules
to their destination.

HAS MADE A HUNDRED AND TEN
TRIPS HERE.
He is Taking the Barkentine S. n.
Castle to San Francisco for the Last
Time.

Captain L. H. Hubbard, who has
made about hundred and ten trips to
this port in the barkentne S. N Cas-
tie, will retire from the service when
he reaches San Francisco on the pres
ent voyage. He left here last week
with a cargo of sugar. Captain Mel
sen of the barkentine W. H. Dimond
will probably take the place of the re-
firing officer.
Captain Hubbard is over sixty years
of age and ranks as one of the oldest
shippers in the service in the Ameri-
can merchant marine. He superintend-
ed the building of the S. N. Castle at
Port Blakeley in 1885 and has been her
captain ever since. He began coming
to Hawaiian ports in 1885 and has been
making regular trips back and forth,
between San Francisco and Honolulu,
Hilo and other island ports. In all his
hundred and ten trips, Captain Hub
bard has never met with a serious dis
aster. He has had enough of the sea
now and intends to enjoy quiet life.
The S. N. Castle is owned in part by
her captain. She is one of the sailing
vessels of the Davies and Company line
and is generally sure of cargo both
ways.
Many an old timer along the water
| front will miss Captain Hubbard, who
has been we'll known among sea faring
men and shippers in this part of the
world for years past. He will live In
San Francisco.

PORTO RICO.
Island Governor Urges Necessity Of
Early Action

WASHINGTON, December 12.-The
Cabinet meeting today was devoted al
most wholly to a discussion of the po-
ltical and financial conditions in Por-
to Rico. The matter was brought up
by Secretary Root, who stated that a
communication had been received from
the Governor General of the island in
closing petitions describing the situa-
tion and asking for action by Congress
which would determine their political
status and relation to the United States.
While the island itself has no public
debt, yet the planters, as a rule, 1t is
said, are heavily involved. No money
ID coming into the country for inv est
ment, and altogether the situation is
not calculated to foster trade or COM
merce. 1t is not altogether improbable
that the President, within the next few
weeks at the latest, win send a message
TO Congress reviewing the situation in
Porto Rico and asking that measures
may be taken to bring about a more
satisfactory state of affairs in the ISL
and.

A NEW RULE FOR TRANSPORT
EMPLOYEES.
Sweeping Change in the Service Pro-
posed-Skippers, Sailors and Men to
be Soldiers-Pay Affected.

All government employees in the
transport service will have to enter the
army, if the plans of some members of
the Military Committee of Congress are
carried out. This will mean some very
important changes in the methods of
conducting the business, as far as the
employees are concerned and will also
make a final settlement of the question
of precedence in authority on board the
vessels. Some of the employees will be
wearing shoulder straps Others will
have to put on plain soldiers uniforms
that will clearly show their positions.
The pay rolls will also be altered.
The ships officers of the many steam
ers engaged in the transport service are
especially interested m the new plan,
which will place them all under army
regulations. Just what would be the
rank given to the shippers and other
officers is not known
In the case of the transports purchas-
ed by the government, the men already
wear army transport uniforms, but the
| service has not been Incorporated into
the army, and the uniforms do not
show grades in rank. The change will
be decidedly unpopular among many
who will have to take the rank and
the pay of privates.
Captain Barneson, who is the Marine
| Superintendent of the transport SER
vice on the Pacific coast, is quoted as
strongly favoring the plan. He de-
clares that the transport business has
! come to stay and should be run or
business principles. 1t is so closely re-
! lated to the army, says the captain
| that it ought to be made a part of the
| army.
On the Victoria, which arrived las
night, there are 81 attendants looking

VICTORIA BREAKS record
CARRIES A LOAD OF STOCK AND
LOSES NONE.
Her Stalls Improved After the Disas-
ter Near the sound-Quick Trip From
the Coast.

After its disastrous experience near
the Sound, the transport Victoria has
succeeded in breaking all records for
good service In the transportation OF
animals between here and San Fran
cisco. She arrived here last night and
docked this morning at the Pacific Mail
wharf without having lost a single
horse or mule out of a load of 366. The
trip was made in passenger steamer
time and the animals are all in excel
lent condition. This appears to be very
largely due to the fact that the vessel
was refitted, after the disaster, so thac
she was better qualified to carry stock
The Victoria's difficulties after she
left Seattle seem to have been caused
by the poor construction of her stalls.
as was the case with the Siam. The
Victoria was compelled by rough
weather to put back into Seattle, losing
80 horses. The animals were simply
killed by being knocked against the
sides of stalls that had no padding to
protect them. Those that survived
We're bruised and torn so that they are
still unfit to ship, when the Victoria
started again.
In San Francisco the Victoria's stalls
were all padded. The animals are in
three tiers and the vessel is so con-
structed that all have plenty of fresh
air. They were taken ashore here as
soon as the vessel docked and will be

CoMMoDoREs MoRGAN's VIEWS

]. r. Burns, in settling local dispute
over the recent International yacht
race, wrote to Commodore Morgan Of
the New York Club. Mr.. Morgan's re-
ply follows:
New York, December /, 1899.
Dear Sir:-In reply to your letter of
November 10th, would say that dur
ing the first two completed races the
Columbia had a greater L. w. length
but less sail area and on measurement
had to allow the Shamrock eight sec
onds time allowance.
In the concluding race by the addi-
tion of ballast Shamrock was the
longer on the L. w. l.. and still had
the greater sail area, and on measure
ment had to allow Columbia sixteen
seconds time allowance.
The object of time allowance is to
make conditions equal-that is to say
eliminate a handicap.
Yours very truly,
j. P MORGAN.

AFTERMATH Of THE PLAGUE
ACCOUNTS COME IN FROM THE
INSPECTORS.
No Cases Calling for Attention Report
ed This Morning-George Carter will
be Guide for Commission.

A report that quarantine would again
be declared in the night was given
wide circulation yesterday afternoon.
Running with il was a rumor that
there had been four deaths of plague
in Chinatown. The Board of Health
and newspaper offices were kept busy
denying these yarns. A number of
householders were frightened into lock-
ing up their servants last night.
During the late afternoon an old ma
tive died suddenly in Kamanuwai. DR..
Scaparone was despatched to the scene.
Death was due to a general breakdown,
weak heart action and "swipes" cele-
bration following the raising of quar-
antine.
George r. Carter has submitted to
the Board of Health a statement of the
expenditures of the inspectors depart
ment since the appearance of plague
nearly two weeks The accounts show
that $2,39579 has been expended. This
does not include the expenses of the
Board proper nor the pay of the mill
| tary. The whole amount will probably
foot up $6,O00 not including extraor-
dinary expenses for permanent con-
| Veniences.
Mr.. Carter's summary is as follows:
Supplies before headquarters were es-
tablished, S297.10; supplies afterward
81, ,194.59: incidental bills. $43.60; labor
bills, $S60.5O. Total, $2,S95.79.
In an additional letter Mr.. Garter
offers his services as a guide to the
commission to be appointed to investi-
gate and report on improvements to the
| district.
This afternoon the situation is very
satisfactory. No cases that called fol
special attention have been reported
rumors to the contrary notwithstand
ing. Just as soon as possible the com
mission will get to work and its repor
| will be hurried.
