A Chinaman named An Hoi. convict ed at the Kohala court of having opium in his possession and under seDterce. jumped from the Kinau four days ago and was probably eaten by a shark. At any rate nothing was seen of the pris- oner after he disappeared over the side, and the policeman who had him fn GUS tody has been discharged for careless ness. The officer did not notify the steamer men of the jump of the China man till the Kinau was mile or more away from tue locality of the dive. The Kinau was put about. but all that could be seen was the straw hat of the China man and large shark swimming lei surely about. The steamer was several miles at sea wben the prisoner made bis break. k.-Pacific Commercial Adyer- tiser

THEIR FLAG AND OURS.
President Schurman Paints a Glow
inc Picture of Filipinos, Future.

Ithaca. N Y, Feb. 14.-President ia
cob G. Schurman of Cornell University
in delivering an address before the bus
mess mems association of Ithaca spoke
at some length on the issues arising out
of the Philippine question Regarding
the commercial benefits which the Uni
ted States are to derive as result of
the Sp2nish-Amer1oan war he Sald;
THE markets of the world are open to
US and receiving our products. The
Spanish war gave US a solution to that
question. That war was Waged to drive
from Cuba an effete European power,
government of tyranny. The irony OF
fate has followed up our late war and
paradoXical though it be, we are now
an Asiatic power with new outlets for
our products.
These are hard facts" continued Mr..
Schurman, and as strange as they are
true. Where England and Germany
kept US from competition, it is now all
our own, and the lions share is coming
with it. We allowed Africa to be sliced
up by European powers. It Is our ma
tional crime. China has opened the
doors to it's 400 million human souls for
US. Russia France Germany and Eng
land were dividing that great empire as
Africa was divided. We might have
lost it. Englishmen were in despair.
Their trade was ridiculed by Russia,
Germany and France but the United
States alone opened the doors of China
and accomplished one of the greatest
achievements in her history.
Our flag is anchored in the Pacific;
it is flowing over the Philippines Hence
forth We are to be on an equal footing
in Asia with Russia, Germany, France
and England. But our mission is not
alone to make money there although
providence dropped the island into our
lap. Eigh million people with immor-
tai souls have been redeemed from the
tyranny of ages and our mission is to
share with them our highest American
civilization and liberty. They will ac-
cept our flag, our education, and then
our mission will be accomplished. 1t
will be their flag and ours, their glory
and ours, their pride and ours, en-
noblest form

FIVE YEARS AT LEAST
Considered Necessary to Establish a
Cuban GOVernme

New York. Feb. 14-In the course of
an interview with Commercial Adver-
tiser reporter today, Brigadier General
William Ludlow, military governor of
Havana, arrived from Cuba last night
said:
After the municipal elections which
are set for May have been held and the
new elective Ayuntamientos have been
organized, 1 think it quite possible that
the expense of maintaining United
States troops in the island can be ma
terially reduced"
AS to the probable duration of Amer
lean occupation of Cuba, Gen. Ludlow
said: I do not think that at this time
any one believes the population of this
island with its entire ineXperience and
a formidable percentage of illiteracy to
be capable off hand, of maintaining a
stable and responsible government. All
believe, assent to the present necessi-
ty for the continuance of the American
occupation, but they want this while it
shall continue to be fundamentally d
military control and not a civil control
In Havana, it is recognized that
some time, several years will be needed
to organize a complete insular govern
ment and I have heard five years spo-
ken of as a reasonable period for this
purpose. 1t all depends upon the Gu
bans themselves and upon the aptitude
and cOnscientiousness they shall exhibit
in the untried and perilouS field Of politi-
cal administrations

ting Gambling.

AL Mauck will be succeeded as SUI
perintendent of the T. A. A. on March
by Jesse Wright, who has been as

last Sunday afternoon a crap game was
in Operation on one of the billiard
tables on the second floor of the asso-
citation rooms in the Masonic building

gated the matter and found the re-
port to be true. and as gambling is
against the rules of the club Mauck
was requested to resign for permitting
it. Mauck said that he ordered the
players to stop, but that they Gid not
obey his commands. Mauck will leave
March ! for Sioux City, where he will

ARE VALENTINES POPULAR9
Merchants Say That Few Were

Poor old Saint Valentine seems to be
almost forgotten for the sale of valen-
tines has been small.
The merchants as rule did not lay
in a heavy stock of either the gorgeous
or comic ones and today the postmen
have not been burdened delivering the
tender or back biting missives. The
would-be funny valentines are more
disgusting than ever and the attempts
at wonderfully built affairs of hearts
and flowers and lace paper are fearful
ly successful. The tender verses are
just as burning and the surely as the
vine grows round the stump love you"

train was brought to a standstill sew
