White Oaks Route Charged With
Discriminating Against the
White Oaks Coal.
THE REAL TROUBLE WITH THE COAL.
Not the Fault of the Product, But Un-
fortunate Because Of Lack Of Min
ing and Hauling Facilities
Eleven Cars on Hand.

THE Records correspondent at White
Oaks makes the assertion in this week s
issue that the FL Paso a. Northeastern
railway company have refused to haul
White Oaks coal to market If this is
trne, and it no doubt Is, as the gentle
man SAYS that he can prove every
statement. the road needs looking after
by the El Paso Chamber Of Commerce,
as such action on the part of that COM
pany is decidedly against the interests
of FL Paso. The Record has been dis
criminated against by officials of this
company for once making the state
ment that the Eddy brothers would
never sell coal to El Paso consumers at
a less price tnan has been paid in the
past, but the Record never dreamed
that the railroad company would 90 so
far as to discriminate against the White
Oaks coal in favor of the product at
Captain. This is a detriment to the
interests of FL Paso consumers, as coal
has been very scarce here this winter.
What can be the intention of the Eddy
brothers If no. to force control of the
White Oaks coal mines? The coal at
White Oaks is of just as good quality
and in as great quantity, as that owned
by the Eddy brothers at Captain. and
the people of White oaks deserve just
as much consideration as those along
the route OF the line, SO why this dis
elimination, unless it is for the object
of controlling the mines at White Oaks?'

The above article is a lie pure and
simple. and if the Record editor does
not know it, he should be blamed fol-
not advising himself before publishing
such rot THE News is of the opinion
that both the Record and the Eagle
are aware that there is no truth in such
statements, and that they malciou ly
publish them to vent spite. The White
Oaks route has never refused to haul
White Oaks coal, but, on the contrary,
is glad to secure all the freight traffic
that it can get There are now eleven
cars of White Oaks coal in the FL Paso
yards. 1t has been there for some time.
The railway will give the Record editor
carte blanche to sell the eleven cars If
he can do so. If he can induce local
dealers to purchase it, or get Mr.. Mar
tin of the Southern Pacific to use it tor
steam purposes, the White Oaks officials
will be glad to have him do so, and re-
lease the cars. The coal is said to be
as good as he Captain product, but too
much clay is mined with it, and in
transporting it in wagons to the rail-
way, it becomes so thoroughly chopped
up that it loses its value as a CONNER
cial article. Neither the local dealers
nor the railways will have it. A num-
Der of dead" engines on the Southern
Pacific and FL Paso & Northeastern
have marked the attempts of the roads
to use White Oaks coal for steam pur-
poses. The experiences of numerous
people in El Paso who failed to find it
valuable for domestic uses could be
given, but it is not the intention of THE
News or anyone else in this country to
endeavor to injure the resources of the
White Oaks. The Eddy brothers and
everyone else in position to know, claim
that the coal is as good as the Captain
product, hut that the mines are unfor-
tunate in lacking mining and shipping
facilities. There is no discrimination
whatever on the part of the El Paso &
Northeastern in favor of Captain coal.
The White Oaks mines should establish
an Office in lei Paso and sell their coal
if it can be sold. The railway will haul
all they can mine and pay transporta-
tion for
The Eagle and Record, like couple
of NANCY ours, have been swapping at
the heels of the railway officials ever
since the development Of this country
was started, There is as little truth
in the Record statement above as In the
general run of its articles relative ia
this region. 1t the editor would walk
block or two once in while and use
his eyes, or else ask question or two
from some one who knows something
about the situation, instead Of sitting
in his Office and "bellyaching." his pa.
per would not appear so ridiculous to

THE SHIPPERS.
Resolutions Adopted in Regard to
the Discharging of Freight.


the Discharging of Freight.
A meeting of the shipping element
in the Chamber of Commerce was held
at the rooms of that body yesterday
afternoon in pursuance of a call the
nature of which is indicated in this
preamble: 1--WE. the undersigned
members of the Chamber of Commerce
of Honolulu, representing the shipping
interests of Honolulu, realizing the
congested condition of the harbor and
wharves of this city, deem it advisable
that the Collector General of this port
should adopt strict methods governing
the clearing of the wharves of cargo,
as it is landed from the various vessels,
and granting to each vessel an allotted
time for discharging at any wharf, be-
lieving that if such regulations are
adopted the quick discharge and dis
patch Of vessels will be greatly facili-
tated."
An interesting discussion, in which
nearly all those present took part, fol-
lowed. 1t was suggested that no pre-
else time-limit coud be fixed for all YES
sells discharging owing to the differ
ence in the character of their cargoes.It
had become desirable to work night
and day but owing to the absence of
electric lights, night work on wharves
is not always possible in good weather.
| To order half-emptied vessels away
THAT had overstayed their limit would
put them, for the time being, out of the
list of ships available for sugar ex-
ports. 1t was Thought that power to
clear the wharves promptly if confer
red upon the Collector General, would
help matters, though some one suggest
ed that as the wharves are very narrow
only few drays can operate on them
at a time. The Collector General sug-
gested that the inextricable piling OF
the freight was in the way of speedy
4 clearance and proposed that goods talk
en- out of ships be locked according to
marks and numbers. Finally after
much pulling and hauling, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted, Hon. ].
| b. Atherton moving them:
Sec. 1. That the Collector General
| enforce THE taking away of all cargo on
the wharf as soon as discharged, and,
if not removed by the consignee within
twenty-four hours after the same is
landed from the vessel, then the Col
lector General shall have the power to
remove such freight either to the GUS
tom warehouse or to such other place
as may be designated by the consignee
(either to be at the option of the Col
lector General); the cost of such hand
ling and carting to be at the expense
of the consignee of such goods.
Sec. 2. That the Collector General
limit the time in which each vessel can
lie at "a wharf to discharge, and, if the
vessel is not discharged within such
time, then the Collector General shall
have THE power to remove such vessel
from the wharf.
1t had been the intention to fix the
legal time for vessels to discharge but
the idea was given up on the ground of
mpracticability.

ROBERTS REPORTS LOSSES.

LONDON. May lisp p. m.-The
war Office has received the following
/ dispatch from Lord Roberts:
"KROONSTAD, Sunday. May 10
There were more casualties in the cav
airy division May 10 than reported by
me. / have been unable to get an ex-
act account OF what occurred. as the
commanding officer, Captain Elsworthy
was killed and two officers were
wounded at the same time and have
been sent to the rear But it would
appear that a party of our men going
UP to a kraal on which a white flag
was flying was suddenly attacked by a
large number of the enemy Two Off
GERS, Captain Haig, of the Sixth ORA
goons, and Lieut.. Wilkinson, of the
Australian Horse, were made prison
ers and twenty-one men are still un-
accounted for. Some of them may
have turned up, as the cavalry covered
a considerable distance May 10 and re-
ported missing have been rejoining
during the last few days
The above dispatch refers to the
losses sustained by the 1nniskillings

HAVANA, May 14.-The extent of
the postal frauds is far greater than
what was originally expected Besides
taking in the postal department, the
frauds seem to include the local Offices
at Havana and various other Offices
throughout the island, and also 20 have
extended to outside points which have
been used for the sale of some of the
old issue of stamps that were ordered
destroyed.
The result of the investigation at the
local postoff1ee is the suspension of,
Postmaster Thompson. who wss IN
stalled in April of last year. He will
remain at his own house for the pres
ent. Moya and Mascara stamp sellers
in the main Office have also been ar
rested and further arrests are expect
ed tomorrow. AS many as six 9TH
ers have been placed under the clos
est supervision and they will be ar
rested as soon as their services can be
spared AS a matter OF fact, If they
were all to be suddenly relieved of
duty it would not be possible TO carry
on the postal department of Havana
Messrs. Reeves and Reynolds, the
auditors of the postal department are
in charge of detectives. Special quart
ers will, however, be prepared in some
| fortress, where all the prisoners con-
nected with the frauds will be taken
as soon as arrested.
To-days arrests and the suspension
of Mr.. Thompson did not take place
until after dark. and consequently
these new features of the case are not
generally known throughout the city
this evening; but there is a perceptible
excitement at the postoffice where no
one knows who may be the next singh
ed out.
E. G. Rathbone desires the Associat-
ed Press to say that there is no truth
in the report circulated in the Unit
ed States that there Is friction between
the military authorities here and the
postal department On the contrary
the most complete harmony prevails
between Gen. Wood and himself, con-
situations taking place between them
daily. He also says he does not con-
slider it proper, in the present circum-
stances, to give out interviews for pub
LEGATION and has so answered all APP
plications for personal statements that
have been cabled from the United
States. Mr.. Sheridan viii temporarily
fill Mr.. Thompson's place. II appears
that the frauds ramified in almost
every possible direction, even the rent
ed boxes have been made a source of
| illegitimate gain.
! Every additional revelation increases
the amazement of the Americans here.
The Cubans seem to be immensely
/ pleased. They declare that Ameri-
cans can no longer boast in Cuba of
their superior honesty IN govern
ment employ.
/ Gen. Wood devotes several hours
daily to postal affairs, hearing the re-
ports of special agents and comforting
with Mr.. Rathbone and others having
any knowledge of the matter. As yet
it is impossible to say how many will
/ be implicated.
