BENEVOLENT ASSIMILATION"
Porto Ricans Say They Were Better
Off Under Spain Than Now.

San Juan Dispatch, February II.
Several of the largest merchants
of San Juan, upon belug interviewed,
unanimously expressed the opinion
that immediate congressional action
is al solutely tssentlal to the inter-
ests of the island. They say that
the crops are immOvable, the pro-
posed duty, under the Foraker bill,
on sugar and tobacco being prohibit
tive. There is no money to plant
new crops or to pay labOrels, thous.
ands of whom are on the pOlnt OF
starvation, being unable to obtain
WORK. The estates are idle and
bankers refuse to advance funds on
account of the extension of mort
cages. The local press expresses
the opinion that the conditions were
better during the darkest days of
the Spanish regime. The Foraker
bill would be acceptable without the
Gufy. The merchants are willing TO
pay a revenue tax in lieu OF The
tariff, which would relieve the
planters.
Henry l.. Nelson, in the World.
Committees of both houses pro
pose that the suffering Porto Picans
snail pay full Dmgley rates on all
dutiaDle goods imported from other
countries, and % per cent. of those
rates on imports from the United
States. In other words, it is not pro
posed to govern the island Tor the
benefit of It's people, but 10 exploit it
for the benefit or our protected in
terests. | sic any wonder that the
Porto Ricans are beginning to regard

Citizens Question Answered.
Editor Herald:

Editor Hcrdid:-
The recent combined telephone
directory of the telephone Users of
Maury county seems TO have cause d
Citizen" quite a surprise and shock.
The Cumberland S policy of develop
ing county exchanges has proven
verv popular in the diff 4rent States
III which it does business, and the
larg development in Mauty County
is que to the excellent service and
reasonable rates that are offered by
the Cumberland people.
At its present rate the Cumber-
laud Company is prepared t. enter
into written contracts with any Of
its subscribers for any class OF
service that it is now rendering, for
any reasonable number of years !;
but these contracts must be executed
oY the Executive officer OF the Com
pany, ana must be binding on both
the Company and the subscriber
alike.
Citizen" speaks of the umber-
land Company getting bold again.
It "CitiZeu' has ever seen any white

fact of the business is that the Cum

The following are extracts from the
Maui News:
Over week has elapsed since Maui
has received a mail from Honolulu.
Once before the News had to refer to
the matter editorially and ask for a
more efficient mail service. If the In
.er-island boats cannot perform the re-
quired service, perhaps the Malolo
could be secured. The mullett don't
bite any more like they did last fall at
Molokai. and those that do bite didn't
have opium in their mouths. 1t is said
that the owners of the Malolo have Of
fered TO sell her to the government and
perhaps il would be a good idea to buy
her and set her to the task of carrying
the mails

SPRECKELSVILLE LETTER.
Advices From the Advertiser Reg
ular Correspondent.

MAUI, March 31.-The thirty-acre
field of cane burned in the latest fire at
the Spreckelsville plantation was locat-
ed near the mill. Report has it that the
misfortune was caused by sparks from
locomotive Since the second fire Ha-
makuapoko mill in addition to Paia Is
assisting the Spreckelsville mill in
grinding the damaged cane. At first 1t
was thought that the loss from the big
fire would be a considerable one, but
now it is stated that nearly all the
burnt cane will be ground and the loss
will be comparatively speaking
trifiing one The three mills should
grind at least 300 tons per every twenty
four hours. At that rate the estimated
5000 tons could be ground within three
weeks, by working night as well as day
and during Sundays. The greatest diff
hculty the plantation management has
TO contend with is TO furnish sufficient
means of transportation from the fields
to the mills. Eighteen bullock carts
have been hired in upper Makawao and
Kula to aid in this purpose. Spreckels-
Vile mill is now turning out $50 tons
per diem.
The coroner's jury in the case of Aki-
ona. the Chinaman said to have been
killed by the bites of a dog set on him
by Luna Harris, found that his death
was caused by certain injuries" Har-
ris' trial was set for April 2nd before
Judge Kaleikau.
An incipient famine is in progress on
Maui. There is scarcity of flour, tea,
oatmeal. barley. bran. etc. The arrival
of the brig Lurline is anxiously ex-
pected.
The only schools on Maui that will
not enjoy the Easter vacation are those
of Wailuku district and the two Kula
schools.

Not Jealous of Honolulu.

The government has appropriated
81 .329 $40 for public needs in Honolulu
and $74. 500 for Hilo. The Advertiser
points out the discrepancy and gem
erously pleads for Hilo.
The News wishes to join in this plea
so far as Hilo is concerned, because
if possible more should be given to Hilo
for her immediate needs. But the News
would seriously regret to see one dollar
taken off of the Honolulu appropria-
ton. Every cent which was voted is
needed to make Honolulu what she
should be, the gate city. the garden city
and the pride of the Hawaiian Islands.
wailuku Water Works.
Practically all the pipe for the Wal
luku waterworks has been strung. and
the ditch is dug from the starting point
at the intersection of Main street and
Cemetery avenue for about two miles
up lao valley. Pipe laying began
Thursday morning and has been COM
pleted from the starting point to the
proposed reservoir site. Over sixty men
have been at work this week, and more
would have beer employed if tools
could have been secured.
Beef for Lahaina
w. Decoto of Lahaina was over at
Wailuku the early part of the week to
secure beef for the hungry Lahaina peo-
pie. 1t seems that they have had a reg
ular Ladysmith of time at Lahalna,
owing to the fact that the kula potatoes
were tabu. Mr.. DecotO was accom-
panied by his wife. and of course they
dropped into the Maui News office TO
watch us edit.
