LOST ALL HER STORES
STEAMER CARMARTHENSHIRE
PUTS IN HERE.
Her Supplies Thrown overheard Nine
Days Ago, Leaving Only Canned
Goods for Food.

The British steamer Carmarthenshire
Captain Bindloss, bound for Australia
from Port Townsend, put into Honolulu
this morning to get coal and replenish
stores lost in the recent storm. The big
tramp steamer encountered five days of
terrible weather soon after she left the
coast and all her stores We're destroyed.
The Carmarthenshire left Port Town
send on the f2th OF this month. During
the Storm she lost the after wheel and
wheel box, one of her boats was smash
ed and her flag pole was carried away.
Great seas broke over the vessel con-
stantly. The store room was flooded
and when the weather improved it was
found that the stores had been soaked
in salt water. They were thrown over
board. This happened nine days ago,
and since then those on board have
been without anything to eat but timed
goods. Their supply of sugar flour,
etc, was ruined and Captain Bindloss
headed for Honolulu to get more. The
steamer has a cargo of lumber for the
Colonies, and expects to leave here to-
morrow.
The Carmarthenshire was engaged as
one of the California and Oriental liners
year ago, running here and to Yoko-
hama and San Diego, and she brought
many contract laborers from Japan.
After the present trip she is to run be-
tween Port Townsend and Manila.
Manila is not yet rated as an Ameri-
can port, and foreign vessels from Ame-
rican ports may do business there, 1t
is expected by shipping men that the
day will soon come when Manila will
follow Honolulu into the fold, and re-
CeiVe no shipments from an American
port in a foreign bottom.

LEAVING THE PHILIPPINES
GEN. G.ACARTHUR ORDERED TO
RETURN MEN.
New Regiments VIII be Dispatched to
take Their Places-Soldiers viii Not
Re Enlist.

WASHINGTON, December 1j.-The
Secretary of War has cabled instruc-
tiOns to General Macarthur at Manila
to begin the work of returning the
volunteer troops from the Philippines
in order to permit of their discharge in
this country by the 30th of June next.
This action has been taken in anticipa-
tion of the authorization by Congress
of the enlistment of regular regiments
to replace the recalled troops.
1t is hoped by the Secretary Of War
and the military authorities that the
bill for the organization of the Army
now before the Senate will become a
law before Congress takes a recess for
the holidays. The officials make no Sc
cret of their great concern over the
existing situation and say that the fail
ure of Congress to take immediate ac-
tion of its relief, undoubtedly will result
in considerable embarrassment to the
Government and seriously retard the
execution of the Administrations pol
icy for the establishment of an eff
cient and stable government in the
archipelago.
The opinion is expressed at the War
Department that there is, no prospect
of a general re-enlistment of the pres
ent volunteers in the Philippines. The
records of the department all tend to
show that only a small percentage of
the troops are likely to serve beyond
their present term of enlistment
The plans of the War Department
for bringing home the volunteer troops
are shown in the following cables:
"War Department, Adjutant- Cen
erals Office, December 1l.-MacArthur,
Manila. Send volunteers convalescent
to the capacity of the next transport
returning and a volunteer regiment by
transport following. AS you report go,
600 now, the Secretary of War directs
that you start home the volunteer regi-
ments until the force is reduced to co.
900, the number fixed by regulations.
VIII send you regular regiments to fur
ther relieve the volunteers.

SUIT AGAINST THE RIO.
Teamsters Claim They Were Badly
Treated Aboard Her.


SAN FRANCISCO, December ia
suit in libel for damages in the sum
of $4,000 will be filed today in the
United states District Court by ,Attor-
ncys RCard9n and Lande agairlt the
steamship Rio de Janeiro of the Paci-
fic Mail Steamship Company for breach
of contract and harsh treatment alleg-
ed to have been received by 142 passen-
gers on the recent trip of the steam
ship to this port from the Orient These
are the teamsters who returned from
taking horses to China for the German
government.
These men, all of whom are Ameri-
can citizens and nearly all residents of
this State, were treated worse than
cattle while on the Rio de Janeiro,"
said Attorney Reardon yesterday
"They had no idea when they boarded
the ship at Nagasaki that they would
be given any other accommodation
than what their paid tickets called for.
Otherwise they would never have come
home in the vessel.
when the Rio de JaneirO pulled out
of the harbor of NagasaH the men dis
covered that they had been assigned to
the Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos and
other denizens of the unsavory quarter.
They protested to the captain of the
Rio, but their complaints were of no
avail About ten of the men were as
signed to the Euro can steerage, but
the others were compelled to accept the
vile quarters ASSIGNED them by the
ships officers. That mutiny and blood
shed did not occur was due to the good
character of the men, who are law
abiding American citizens. The story
they told me on their arrival is sicken-
ing in every detail.

not as good as that given to the Asia
tics, and for the entire voyage they
We're compelled to exist on bread and

NOT COMPETENT EVIDENCE
SPECIAL L. S. TAX RECEIPTS IN
LIQUOR CASES.
Facts About the Affair Between Reve-
nue. Agent Thomas and Sheriff Over
end-First Report Distorted.

Revenue Agent Thomas denies the
rumOr persistently circulated in the last
few days that there is Serious friction
between his department and the Ter
ritorial officials. In place of having
trouble with the officials Of Hawaii ISL
and or any one of them, the agent ex-
presses desire t. keep on perfectly
good terms with them.
The whole thing arose over the pro-
secutiOn by Deputy Sheriff Overend of
three Cinnamon on the charge of SELL
ing liquor without a Territorial license.
The only evidence against two of them
was that they had paid the special tax
on fermented liquor business pre-
scribed by the revenue laws. Receipts
for these tax payments were term from
the walls of the stores and used i'm the
case. on them the men We're convicted
and fined.
Mr.. Thomas thinks Overend did
wrong in submitting the receipts in
evidence and explains why. United
States laws prescribe the tax on fer
mented' liquors. Hawaiian laws pre-
scribe a license for the sale of intOX-
icatng liquors, which, i'm some cases,
is quite a different thing. For instance,
the government would collect on the
sale of hop beer while the Territory
would not; the government would col
| lect on root beer, if fermented, and
even soda water if il contained alcohol;
/ the Territory only collects when the
| beverage reaches certain per cent of
alcohol.
The convicted Cinnamon stated to
Mr.. Thomas that they paid the reve-
nue. tax merely to sell soda water and
/ hop beer, If that is a fact, the con-
viction and fine for violating the Ter
| ritorial law was, of course, wrong.
Sheriff Overend did not and does not
| believe the story of the Cinnamon, how
ever. He thinks they have been sell
/ ing liquor for some time Mr.. Thomas
also believes that the Cinnamon have
been and do sell liquor. In fact one
of the men told him that he sold liquors
| to everybody except the police and
offered to sell some to the revenue col
| lector. 1t is most natural that there
was no hard feeling between Thomas
and Overend after that, the former
/ discovering that the heather Chinese in
| Hawaii is as tricky as elsewhere. Mr.
| Thomas explained to Overend, as
above given. why the receipt for Unit
ed States special tax could not be con-
sidered conclusiv~ evidence in a prose
cution under Hawaiian laws for selling
! liquor without license. That was al
there was to it, and that ended 1t.
Mr.. Thomas met with no other cases
of the kind on Hawaii. There was
difficulty i'm explaining to some Chinese
sho~ keepers the meaning Of the spe'
cial tax but collections We're very
good.
The revenue agent expected to leave
by the Peking for California but re
ceivinc no further instructions in re
gard to the matter decided to wait owe
until the new collector arrived here.

CHINESE RUNAWAY.
Spirited Pony Spills Two Celestials and
Devious Laundry

The Chinese laundry on Keeaumoku
street and an associate had a run away
near Thomas square about o'clock
yesterday in which bundles of clothes,
"pig-tails" and the frightened Celestials
were rolled together in the dust. a
trace giving way started the cayuse at
the business end of the brake and think
ing the blooming Boxers in the brake
were after him, bumped up in the mid
die and proceeded to enter the 2:l5
class.
one Chinaman, clinging desperately
to a bundle of some old womans sun
day clothes went straight up and then
came straight down again. 1t was well
that he chose an ascending direction
for when Newton's gravity began to get
in it's work, and he started down, the
semi-animate hurricane had passed.
The other Chinaman was not so lucky.
He went down instead of up. With a
second bundle of clothes clasped affec-
tionately in his arms he sprang over the
whifhe tree like a frog from the lilies
into a July pool. This foolish Mongol
fell head first on the nlacadamized ave-
nue. and there waited for the wheel to
run over him. He did not have to wait
long. AS the sailors say the wheel took
him close to the bow, and then the
wheel passed down his body like a
squirrel on a log.
When the patrol wagon arrived the
| latter Chinaman was found to be very
severely bruised but not seriously in
jured The first one was bruised about
| the shoulders and head, due to his con-
tact with the ground. The men refused
| to get in their rig again so the police
| took them and their rig outfit to their
| home at the laundry.
