PORTO R,cans oontented in Hawaii.

SAN. FRANCISCO, May S.-Contrary
to various distressing reports of the
discomfort of the Porto Ricans import
ed into the sugar fields of the Hawaii
an islands, Mariana Abril. a prominent
Porto Rican, now at the California
Hotel, says that his countrymen and
their families are well established,
pleased with conditions and in way
to make more money than they ever
could have earned at home. Abril is
editor and proprietor of La Democratic,
published at Carguas, Porto Rico. He
has just returned from an inspection
of the Hawaiian plantations and the
new homes of the 5000 Porto Ricans
who are there. He wished to learn the
conditions. He is well pleased. He
says that probably $4,000 to 10000 Porto
Ricans will be taken to the Hawaiian
islands during the next few years
They are peculiarly suited for sugar
culture.

His first wife was a scion of the no.
BILE Italian house of the ColonnaS, but
the marriage was annulled while he
was in prison in 1895 by the Pope and
the Italian civil court. and in 1896 he
remarked the lady who is now
MRS. ROBERT w. WILCOX.
Mrs. Wilcox is the Princess Theresa

blood and direct lineaI descendant
| of Keowa who was the father of King
| Kamehameha, we'll named the Great,
| as he was probably the ablest and
most distinguished man ever produced
| by the Sandwich Islands. Her picture
needs no encomiumS and will suffice to
| show that her personal attractions add
no little to the social and mental graces
which have rendered her no less sue
cessfuI and popular in Washington So
cfety than her distinguished husband
PRINCE ROBERT KEOUA.
| The little fellow whose picture we
give elsewhere, the only son of Mr.

the last child of royal lineage born
under the Hawaiian monarchy. His
| face shows him to be a bright and at

ways bear his hereditary title OF

will be seen by her portrait is person

whose protracted title may not deter
! some future Congressman or President
may be, from wooing and wedding the
dainty, black-eyed princess of the gen
of the tropic sea.
Mr.. Wilcox is now at home and was
the recipient of a splendid panque'

FRAUDS IN NEW
YORK CUSTOMS
Chicago importers Throw Light
on Crooked invoices
From Japan.

CHICAGO, August 16.-As result of
the recent exposure of alleged frauds in
the New York customs service several
of the big wholesale dry goods firms of
Chicago have filed claims with the
Board of Appraisers asking for sums
aggregating hundreds of thousands OF
dollars as rebates.
1t was through the watchfulness of
Chicago importers that the Government
discovered a conspiracy in the New
York customs house. says the Chron-
ic1e. Last May, buyers for Chicago i'm
porters found that goods bought in To-
kio and shipped to the United States
cost more than the same articles could
be bought for from certain firms in
New York.
So the Chicago men got together and
instituted a quiet investigation. They
collected their evidence and filed pro-
tests with the Treasury Department at
Washington.
The protests contained disclosures
that call for Immediate action and Gov
eminent detectives were set at work at
once. The claims the Chicago mer-
chants have filed with the Board of APP
praisers are being considered now. but
official action probably will not be
taken until the investigation has been
finished

and who has an office in this city,
speaking of the prospective strike
among the operators in New England,
is quoted by the Tribune as saying that
the mfll-owners of Fall River had an
nounced the proposed reduction in
wages for the purpose of precipitatins
a strike. which would afford them an
opportunity 20 dispose of a surplus OF
goods that is at present choking up the
mills. Mr. Borden said:
Personally. 1 do not approve OF TINS
way of doing business. 1t would be far
better, more businesslike and manly, TO
meet the issue squarely, lay the case
before the men and explain the neces-
sity for a temporary lay-off.

Before the Court of Claims.
WINTERS PROUD
OF HIS CRIME
Robber Of the Selby Smelling
Works Thought to Be
Demented.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 16-Most
of the gold stolen from the Selby Smelt-
ing Company's strong-room by John
Winters has been recovered from the
spot in the bay pointed out by him
early last Saturday morning. But two
small bars are missing and the detect
Ives hope to have these secured by
nightfaH today.
The great notoriety thrust upon Win
ters has turned his head. He speaks
of himself to the newspapermen as one
who has done commendable thing,
and refers to the fact that he is "the
greatest criminal of the century" and
in similar high-fiown terms.
He is looked upon by the police and
reporters as being slightly demented-
He is known to have been a drug fend
and his habits have not been such that
induce a clear brain.
Winters tells peculiar story about
the inducements held out to him to tell
the story of the crime and to locate the
stolen bullion. He says that he was Of
fered $50, 600 by the Selby people to make
his confession and less than a year in
the penitentiary for his crime. This
the Selby officials deny, and say that
any inducements which may have been
held out to Winters were made with
out the knowledge of the firm and on
the responsibility of the detectives en-
gagged in the case only.
Winters was taken to Martinez yes
terday and will be charged with the
robbery and prosecuted by the people
