ANNUAL CUSTOMS REPORT.
OF THE LAST YEARS s
COMMERCE.
Collector Stackable Presents Interest
ing Figures To the Interior Depart
ment.

The annual report of the collector
general, e. r. Stackable for the year
ending with December, 1899, has been
made to the minister of finance. 1t con-
tains a large amount of interesting ana
valuable statistics, in clear, tabular
form, showing the commerce and immi-
grafton of the country during the last
year. The figures are very complete
as to detail, and show the amount of
every sort of goods exported or i'm
ported, the country sending or rece1v-
ing 1t, and the duties paid, vessels em-
ployed, etc
Regarding foreign commerce the col
lector says:
Commerce of the year has been
marked by three especial notable char
actsristics: First, a continuation of the
phenomenal imports of last year; sec
ond, moderate increase in exports;
and third, the combined imports and
exports form the largest total ever
shown by single year in the history
of this country.
The total imports during the year
were $19,059, 605.79, as compared with
$11 $50, $50 81 in 1S9S
THE expectations of 1899 were $22,
62S, so, as against $17 ,946, ,744.79 in
1898.
"The total foreign commerce for the
year 1S99 thus stands, Sal, ,6SS, ,347. 81. as
against $2S, 1897 ,635 60 in 1898, or $12, $50,

DEATH OF MISS ENGLISH AT
KAHULUI.
A Suspected White Case-The Kehei
Suspect and the Differences of the
Doctors-Dr. Garvin's Stand.

Reports from Maui indicate that
there is a good deal of excitement on
the island over the plague situation.
The report of a case at Kihei plantation
is supplemented by another report,
which cannot be verified, of another
case in one of the detention camps,
and Miss English, a white woman who
died at Kahului on February 25, was
listed as a suspicious case. The diff
ferent towns on the island are making
more or less rigid quarantines against
one another occasioning some friction
and much expense.
Miss English was sister of Bob Eng
lish, the we'll known pilot. Her case
has not been pronounced plague, but
the doctors were suspicious enough 20
quarantine her brother. Mr.. English
was put into quarantine, leaving the
port of Kahului without a pilot. In
the event of a call for a pilot, If he
was not Forthcoming and loss resulted
to any vessel from his absence, there
might be a case for damages.
The case at Kihei is said to be the
death of a somewhat notorious char
acter, the suddenness of her death
causing the suspicion that it was from
plague. After a post -mortem Dr. Gar
vim was not certain whether the case
was plague or not, and declined to take
the responsibility of making a decision
Kihei was put into strict quarantine.
The doctor at the plantation gave it~as
his opinion that the case was not the
plague.
The steamer Centennial, arriving al
Kihei, was put into quarantine al
heavy expense to the steamer. La
haina has also established a quaran-
tine against other ports.

LIFE-sAVER AT WAIKIKI.
doc" Monsarratt Makes Himself ;
Hero.

Billy Monsarratt is the hero of Wal
kiki. Yesterday he rescued young
lady from the waves at the beach In
front of Waikiki Inn, bravely wading
into the surf without even waiting TO
take off his clothes. The woman, who
had a narrow escape from drowning,
is Miss Patterson, who resides at the
inn. Yesterday afternoon she went in
for swim and got beyond her depth.
Her screams reached the hotel, where
Monsarratt and number of others
were seated on the lanai.
Far out among the breakers Miss
Patterson could be seen struggling,
and her cries continued. Monsarratt
threw his coat aside and waded into
the water A few strides brought him
to deep water and he soon had hold
of the drowning woman, carrying her
back to a place of safety. She almost
tainted on the beach from fright and
exhaustion.
There was quite a heavy surf on al
the time, and if Miss Patterson's cries
had not been heard and her rescue sc
quickly accomplished, she would never
have been able to get back to shallow
water.

WILL NOT PAY INSURANCE
PROBLEM SETTLED
YESTERDAY.
All Companies Except Firemens Fund
Decline to Admit Liability for Losses
In Great Fire.

Chinatown insurance will not he paid
by any of the companies having risks
in that locality, except the Firemen's
Fund and the possible exception OF
some companies whose local agents are
commissioned directly from the home
offices in Europe.
This was made plain at a special
meeting of the Board of Underwriters
held in the Chamber Of Commerce yes
terday afternoon. F.sA. Schaefer pre-
sided. Attorney Van Ness, who arriV-
ed a few days ago as legal representa-
tive of all the general agencies in San
Francisco, was present and detailed at
length the position of the various COM
panies. 1t had been decided at confer
ence in San Francisco that none of the
companies writing the New York con-
tract were liable in any degree. A
clause of this contract eXempts the
company from liability in case of des-
truction of property directly or indi-
rectly by war, insurrection or act of the
civil authorities.
| The local agents were of course
| powerless in the matter, whatever their
opinions may have been. A large num-
| ber, perhaps a considerable majority,
agree that the ruling of the conference
admitting no liability under the con-
| tracts is correct.
1t was recommended by the local
! board that the agents tender to policy
holders the return of premiums from
January 20. the date of the fire, to the
| end of their respective insurance per -
DDS. Policies would be cancelled as OF
January 20. 1t is believed that this az
Tangement will be carried out.
This adjustment of the problem will
mean a flood of claims against the
Government in which the stand of the
| agencies will be used as salient argu-
nent on the side of the petitioners.
The position of the Firemens Fund
differs from the others in that the COM
pany will pay the policy holders and
will look to the Government for its
damages. They admit their liability to
the insured, but do not admit that the
fire was accidental

INCENDIARY AT TONGA

Nukualofa, Tonga, Feb. 12.-On Sun
day night, January 21, an abortive at
tempt was made to destroy the govern
ment offices. An incendiary poured ker-
osene on the floors of the postoffice and
added some powder. If the powder had
not been added nothing would have
saved the whole group of buildings, as
they are all wooden structures, dry as
tinder. But the explohion of powder
blew out the windows of the building
and all but blew out the flames and by
attracting the attention of the people ol
the neighborhood, brought aid to put
out the fire. There is no clew to the
perDetratorS.

.EVY IS Holding HIS OWN
ABOUT THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON.
No Conclusion Yet as to Identity of
Disease, Though Indications are
Hopeful-Suspect Case.

Herman Levy, the young clerk of the
Hawaiian Hotel, is holding his own to-
day. He is not any worse and is prob
ably better. His temperature shows a
slight improvement. OF course in
case of this kind it Is impossible to tell
accurately as a change may come at
any moment, though the indications are
all on the side of the man.
Mr.. Isevy's temperature and pulse re-
mained during yesterday afternoon and
last night about the same. There
was very little change during the entire
time. At 10 o'clock this morning the re-
port was "in fair shape" and at this
afternoon mo worse"
There was a suspect case from kalihi
yesterday afternoon. Chic Tuck, Chi
nese man, aged 25, is the patient. He
was examined by DR.. lobe about 4
o'clock and considered sufficiently sus-
picious to be removed to the plague
hospital. At DR.. Hoffman's last report
to the Board of Health the patients

doubts today that it is plague.
The Levy case has caused most in
terest in town today. DIR. Wood has
been beseiged with telephone messages
from his friends asking as to his con-
dition. These have been answered with
the statement that Mr.. Levy is getting
| aionS as well as COulu De expected. AS
yet there has been no determination of
the case. There are no pronounced
symptoms of plague, which is some as
surance that the case may turn out to
be pneumonia.
DIR. Hoffman held two post-mortems
yesterday on unattended persons. The
first was on Kekola Kahihamu, male
Hawaiian, aged 30, taken from Punch.
bowl road near the Pauoa bridge. Per
tonitis and syphilis were the causes o.
death. Matthew Alic, male Hawaiian

The customs revenue is a fair index
of the commerce at each port.
The classification of exports shows a
heavy decrease in rice from $149, ,27S. IA
to $42,5 in comparison with the figures
of 1898. Sugar exports increased from
$16,614, 1922 SO to $21, 1895, ,190.97. Coffee,
bananas, pineapples, honey, specie, sun
dries and foreign manufactures aIa
show increase, and hides and tallow,
like rice, a decrease The imports of
maehinerey increased from 1859, ,I29. .7S
to 81, ,0S9,278 "a. Importations of iron
and steel, groceries and provisions, and
almost everything else, in fact, were
very largely increased.
In both imports and exports the
United States is ahead in it's commerce
with the islands, leading the nearest
competitor, Great Britain, in imports tc

ception of about a hundred thousand

near Hotel are being removed today,
and the premises are being cleaned up.
For a long time the owner said he
would not obey the order of the Board

ton by the authorities, which he con-
sidered would amount to trespass. The
Board of Health simply allowed all
other houses on the street to open, and
closed the McCandless block. Last
night Mr.. Hits received notice from the
