PORTO RICAN CITIZENS.
Sometimes They Are and Sometimes
They Are Not.

Chicago, Dec. IA special to the
Tribune from New Orleans says:
Under the direction from Washington
to Porto Rican immigrants who arrived
here on the Arradia under contract to
work on sugar plantations in Hawaii
were allowed to land and today took a
special train from San Francisco. No
restrictions were placed on them, nor
were they required to give bond as
Cinnamon do, when passing through
the country.
The immigra ton authorities took the
position that the Porto Ricans are peo-
pie of the United States and therefore
not subject to the restrictions placed on
foreign immigrants by the irnmigra-
ton law, which shuts out all contract
labor.
1t was admitted the Porto Ricans
same to this country under con-
tract and the only issue was as to their
rights as American citizens. The irnni-
grafton bureau has decided this in their
favor

THEIR BIG HEADS
Responsible For Several British
Losses in South Africa.

New York. Dec. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Vienna says:
very sensational lecture has just
been delivered on the war in South
Africa before the military scientific So
ciety by one of the most distinguished
of Austrian generals, Field Marshal
Ratzenhoff. Hespol<e very disparagingly
about the English troops but said the
officers were excellent filled with the
idea. of England's greatness and daring
to a fault. This very daring caused the
troops to be led without tactical pre-
caution, which explained the great loss
of officers and the comparatively small
loss of soldiers.
In conclusion Field Marshal Ratzen-
hoff said:
After the war what will England do
for the reorganization of her army? The
same as she did after the Crimean war,
the Indian mutiny and the Afghan cam
paign-that is to say nothing Unirn-
portant reforms may be made but uni
versal military service will not be in
troduced."
Arehduke Leopold Salvador and Baron
Beck, chief of the general staff, were
present at the lecture.

shown no special favors, nor was appli-

night by reason of illness. The parting

THE REEF, NOT THE ALTAR A SMALL CITY At KAuHI C
BUILDING HOMES FOR PEOPLE
FROM CHINATOWN.
Accommodations for over Two Thou
sand-A Beautiful site-sewer and
Water Systems Provided.

A small quarantine city, which will
contain homes for over 1000 people, with
a water system, sewer system and
many more conveniences than the 1000
people who are likely to occupy it are
now enjoying in their homes, is rapidly
growing up on the lands of the Bishop
Estate at Kalihi. 1t is in the middle or
a small forest. Since Thursday morn
ing a gang of workmen have cut away
trees enough over a space 1900 feet long
by 200 feet wide, to allow for the build
ings. In one day they cleared nearly
All the space, cutting off trees at the
root, and began the foundations of two
buildings.
All round the little village is a forest
of small shade trees. There are about
twenty-five acres in the tract that may
be used for the detention station If
needed. A high fence will be put around
whatever part of it is used, so that only
a few guards will be needed, and the
quarantined people will have any
amount of room to enjoy themselves in
the woods. The locality is a most beau
tiful and healthful one, and it is safe
to say that the inmates will have an
enjoyable time Housed comfortably
and fed by the government and in a
place that is a veritable garden of Eden
in comparison with the ill-smelling dis
trict of shacks from which they will
come, those who are compelled to go to
Kalihi ought to consider themselves
lucky.
Sixteen sheds have been laid out, ,'each
shed containing twelve rooms, 14x15.
They are divided into two sections and
will extend lengthwise in the space
cleared of trees. Enough trees for shade
have been left standing where the sheds
are to be. Wash houses, with baths,
have been arranged for and already
water pipes have been laid to the
| IL. l. 1. 4
extraordinary progress and by Monday
some of the sheds will be ready for
occupation.
On the water front, opposite where
the buildings are to be, gang of men
! is at work placing a gasoline engine,
which will pump salt water to flush the
sewer system of the temporary city.
The system will be one of fumes. The
gasoline engine, constantly sending
salt water through the fumes, will pre-
vent any danger from the sewerage.
The principal difficulty in the way of
the work is that of getting the material
there. The road is very bad in some
places, coral, broken and unbroken. be-
| ing spread over it. Three gangs of con
victs are at work breaking. rock at diff
ferent points along the route, under
armed guards.
If she worst comes and the general
burning of Chinatown is finally decided
upon, the Kalihi station will provide ar
ideal place to which the population OF
the destroyed district may be removed
1t will provide far better homes than
most of those who occupy it have ever
lived in before, like the camps at Ka-
kaako, "only more So"
The buildings are being erected by H
| Bertelman and Mr.. Craig. Eighty work.
men are employed on the spot. Charles
B. Wilson, representing the Board OF
Health, is experimenting the work.

THE INJUNCTION REFUSED
DECISION IN SECOND TRAMwAY
CASE.
Mr.. Pain Allowed to Continue His
Double Trsck-Case Now to be Ar
gued on Its Merits.

Judge Perry yesterday afternoon de-
,clined the petition of the Honolulu
Rapid Transit Company to enjoin the
Hawaiian IT, anyways Company from
laying a dot BILE track on King street
between Nuuanu stream and Victoria
street.
Accordingly the work of the latter
concern is today going on as usual. The
section of the double track on Union
square is being placed upon perma-
nent road-bed and graded.
1t was expected that Judge Stanley
would hear the petition yesterday but
he being detained on other matters the
case came before Perry. The bill and
reply were read, following which there
was argument by respective counsel
Judge Perry's decision was short and
oral. He cverruled the petition for in
junction, but stated that the court
would entertain the case as made out
in the bill if it was desired to submit
it.
It is understood this morning that
the Rapid Transit Company will let its
petition stand to be argued and deter
mined later.

.CHANCE FOR PASSENGERS2 SITUATION IS brighter
SOME SAILING VESSELS WILL
TAKE THEM.
Several Clearing for San Francisco and
the Sound-Bills of Health Issued by
the Consul.

Some of the captains of the sailing
vessels leaving here for the coast are
relaxing from the strictness of the rule
of taking no passengers from Honolulu
and there is now some chance for peo-
pie to go away if they are willing to go
on sailing vessels. The schooner Column
bta, which leaves here next week is
taking passengers. She goes to Port
Townsend.
Four other sailing vessels are clear
ing for the coast without taking any
passengers, in spite of many applica-
tions. Two of them, the Martha Davis
and the Diamond Head have cargoes
of sugar for San Francisco. The bark
entine George C. Perkins for Eureka
and the ship Centennial for Departure
Bay, both in ballast refused 10 take
any passengers. Some people were so
anxious to get to the coast that they
tried to be entered as members of
crews, in order to make the passage.
The captains have been asking advice
at the office of Consul General Hay
ward as to the taking of passengers
| The consul gives it as his opinion that
there is no objection to sailing vessels
carrying travellers from here, and the
! booking of passengers has no effect on
the bills of health issued. The time for
development of plague cases will have
much more than passed before any
| sailing vessel is likely to reach the
coast. Experience during cholera days
showed, however, that this is not al
ways enough to satisfy the quarantine
officers at the other end.
! The bills of health issued today by
! the consul contain a simple statement
/ of the plague situation. The number OF
! deaths to date from plague and the date
of the last death is stated on each bill
of health.
