COLLECTOR WHITEHEAD HERE.
To Prepare Report on Porto Riean
Customs Service.

George w. Whitehead. collector of Gus
toms at San Juan, Porto Rico, arrived in
Washington yesterday and spent some
time at the Treasury. He shook hands
with some of his old friends in the De-
partment but deferred his call on Sec
retary Gage until a later time. Mr.
Whitehead is the candidate of Secretary
Gage and Assistant Secretary Spaulding
for appraiser at the port of New York,
to succeed Wilbur F. Wakeman, and has
been endorsed for that office by Senator
Platt.
1t was explained at the Treasury this
afternoon that the Department knew
nothing officially of Mr. Whitehead's con-
templated visit at this time, and that his
presence here has nothing TO do with the
mention of his name for the New York
appraisershp. He has been in Porto
Rico continuously for more than a year,
and he wished TO accompany his wife,
who is in poor health. to Washington.
He will within the next few days pre-
pare an extended report of the operations
of the customs service in Porto Rico, TO
be handed to the Secretary of the Treas
ury. He will then probably apply for
leave of absence of month or more in
order TO recuperate.
1t was said emphatically at the Treas
ury yesterday that no conversation had
been had with Mr.. Whitehead about the
New York appraisership. When he meets
Secretary Gage within the next day or
two the matter will probably be discussed.

The SchIey Court.

The country ought to be extremely
| gra teful to Admiral Schley for acting
upon the pressing hints of his enemies
| and calling for Court of Enquiry.
Otherwise the American people might
never have known the true history of
the great sea battle off Santiago. 1t is
getting before them, as it is, in most
| succinct and convincing form, and the
longer the enquiry lasts the more thor
oughly it appears that the victory was
Schley'S, and that the worlds opinion
has been strictly correct in giving him
the credit for it. Admiral Sampson
it, but he has not and never will have
a streak Of the glory.
Some very important evidence was
given in the Court yesterday cOntradic-
tory to the testimony of Captain Sigs-
bee, who, as win be remembered. swore
fatty that he never told Commodore
Schley that the enemy were not In the
harbor. James II. Hare, a newspaper
correspondent on the press boat Smith,
deposed that it approached Sigsbee's
vessel, the st. Paul, and megaphoncd to
nm tI!i hlIiii6 II 1I4t DDii!idiuS were
there SiRsbee megaphoned back that
they were not, and that Commodore
Schley had gone west. As a result of
this statement the press boat went to
Key West for coal. Captain Lemly
tried hard to suppress this information.
but it went upon the record.
As our news columns show, twice dur
ing yesterdays sessions the audience
broke INTO loud applause. The witness
on the stand was William L. Hill. chief
boatswain Of the Brooklyn. He told
how Commodore Schley stood erect on
the deck while the Spanish shells were
flying overhead with the noise Of rail-
way train. and a good many people
were ''ducking." Then came a round
of applause. and there was another
when the same witness told how the
commanderin-chiefs stamped upon the
deck and swore that he would get the

to Spain.
1t must appear very apparent to the
navy ring that they have accomplished
a most pitiabIe fiasco in their crusade
against admiral Schiey They have en-
abled the public to gain a clear insight
into the case which they thought would
be destructive TO their intended vic

HAWAIIAN DROUGHT UNENDED
Cattle Suffer and the Crops Are
Severely Affected.

HONOLULU, Oct. 16, (via San Francis
co. oct. 23)-The drought in Hamakua and
I<ohla continues. Slight showers have
fallen, but not enough to do any good.
TINS is the most severe drought
known for fifteen years. In Hamakua
all cane long enough to yield sugar has
been cut. which will affect next years
crop, and no planting has been done.
In addition to drought. forest fires have
continued 1t has been impossible to
raise anything to eat, and the bananas
have been devoured by birds, except when
protected by netting. Water for drinking
has TO be carried from six to twenty
miles All school children are allowed to
go home at noon to help in carrying
water. Many cases of typhoid and other
diseases have resulted from drinking inn
pure water.
Cattle on the big ranches are begin
ming to die by the hundreds. All stock
that could be driven away has been sent
to other islands. On Samuel Parket's big
ranch the loss of cattle has already been
heavy. A part of the population is al
ways watching the forest fires. to pre-
vent them from spreading beyond the
trenches dug around the burning dis

GENERAL HARRIsoN's OPINION.

Should Mr.. Roosevelt aspire to become
President of the United States, | believe
that he will ultimately be successful
First he has the courage requisite, and,
secondly. tine character. His varied life
as a ranchman, hunter. soldier. and poll
tieiap has placed him in such close prox-
unity with so many different men that
they have had ample opportunity to judge
of his qualities, and to understand when
he says or does thing. There are many

ter an object To him it is the deed and
not the word. IL is the power to act,
to do something. as | have said, to pro-
duce a result. That result may be right
or it may be wrong; but, Notwithstanding.
it is the result. and Mr.. Roosevelt is sat
ished If it be wrong, he will be one of
the first to set it right. One great thing
in his favor is his absolute adherence to
all that is strictly honest. This belief
makes him man of frank, open express
sion. He is quick to say thing, for he
knows that what he says is the truth.
During his Civil Service Commission days
| saw a great deal of him, and it was that
phase of his character which impressed
me most. He seemed to let it permeate
his clerks. and his presence among them
was very gratifying. Not one in his de-
partment did he consider inferior to him
self, and he once kept Inc waiting while
he showed an errand boy the shortest
route from the Treasury Building to the
Capitol.
There are few men in the United States
whose character is so well and widely un-
derstood. That has been one of Mr..
RCOSeveit's secrets of succesS-to have his
character understood. He wants all men
who regard him public servant to put
implicit trust in him. If ne had no other
record than his service as an empioye of
the Civil Service Commission ne would
be deserving of the nations gratitude and
confidence. Ii was an office that brought

VAUDEVILLE FOR WORKERS.

Amuse Its Employees

CHICAGO. Oct. 23.-Oficials of the
Allis-Chalmers Company have hit upon a
new plan for preventing detection of en-
ployes. Vaudeville shows are provided
for the entertainment of the men who
have been secured to take the places of
the strikers. The new men have been
compelled TO live in the plant. and the
lack Of amusement had resulted in much
discomfort and -lany desertions. The
company hit upon the scheme of fur
nishing entertainment for its employees
and a series of vaudeville performances
was begun.

the company, left the plant today and
