RUSSIA BUYS THE
CHINESE WARSHIPS
The Gar Obtains Three Cruisers
and Two Destroyers
Cheap.

TACOMA, Nov. 17.-OrientaI mail adj
vices received tonight report the sale by
China of two cruiser 70 France and
three to Russia.
The vessels sold to Russia are the Hal
shen, Haishao and Haiyung, all built at
Vulcan Yard Stettin.
The price paid for the cruisers and tor
pedo boats is given as 100000. This
makes tie transaction profitable one
for Russia, as three cruisers alone
Gently cost China s6,500.OO0 These vessels
comprised China's Pei-Yang squadron,
which China found an expensive and I'M
necessary luxury.
The Japan Times reports the vessels
sold 10 France to be the cruisers Kienwef
and KEENAN, now nearly completed at
Foo Chow. China started work on the
vessels by the advice of Frenchmeu, the
ma terial being imported from France. Be
ing unable to pay for the materials and
of the French experts an ar
has been made through the
French Embassy for discharging the
debts by turning the vessels over 70

IMPROVED METHODS NEEDED
IN t1AWAIrS RICE CULTURE

attic fertilization The soil should be
analysed, and that fertilizer used which
viii supply the deficient element If
the high standard of cultivation is to
be maintained. this must be done
Mr.. Sedgwick believes this matter
to be of the utmost Importance to the
planters, and that the subject of fer
tilization is one that requires imme-
date attention on their part. AT pres
ent rice cultivation is almost exclusive
~ in the hands of the Chinese, and
they get good results both as to quail
ity and quantity TO have this con-
tinue year after year the assistant di-
rector of the experiment station thinks
that the planters should pay more at
tention to fertilization.
That this is a. subject of vital i'm
portance is evidenced by the report
made a year ago by William c. Stubs,
director of the Louisiana Agricultural
Experiment Station, who was sent here
to investigate the agricultural resources
and capabilities Of Hawaii.
Referring To rice culture, he said:
1.-The primitive method already de-
scribed as practiced by the Chinese in
the growing of rice. and its prepara-
tons for market, call loudly for re-
form. The annual production of this
crop is about 10000, 900 pounds, a part
Of which is consumed on the Islands.
The size of this crop, together with
the fact that it constitutes the chief
food supply of a large portion of the
laborers on the Islands, would justify
serious attempts in introducing i'm
proved methods"
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-12-02

IF the rice growers of Hawaii wish
to maintain the present high standard
of their rice. they must introduce i'm
proved methods of fertilization" said
T. F. Sedgwick, of the United States
Agricultural Experiment Station yes
terday.
AN exceptionally fine quality of rice
is grown here now, the original seed
brought here by the Chinese, was the
best obtainable, and the success with
which rice cultivation has been attend
ed in the Islands is an indication of
the adaptability of the soil for its cul-
ture. But in order to keep to this high
standard the planters must fertilize
the soil, must give it a chance to rest.
They will find in time that they will
have the same difficulty to contend
with, as in the wheat countries, where
wheat has grown for thirty years or
more, without any attempt to aid the
natural resources of the soil. In the
end disease came, and the quality of
the wheat deteriorated.
1.-THE taro troubles are due to the
same cause; the lack of proper Guilt
growers kept on planting year after
year, without giving the slightest at
tention to the soil, or any attempt at
and now they are suffer
ing for it.
Rice, which at present, is as fine a
quality as can be found anywhere, is
in the same danger. Crop after crop |
Of rice is planted, and there is little, |
# any, fertilization by the planters.

HILO, Nov. "a crowd of over 1000
witnessed the Thanksgiving Day races at
Hoolulu Park. The sport commenced with
a baseball game between the Kilohanas
and the Holumuas, the latter winning a
good game by the score of to 10.
The racing was a great success, the
fine condition of the track being respon-
sible for excellent time in most of the
events. The victory of four favorites out
of five put hackers upon the best of
terms with themselves.
Three recent importations from the
coast faced the starter, Philip, Del VisIs.
and Royal Fan. Royal Fan is a five
year-old sorrel mare by Prince Royal, out
of Fanfare, and was formerly owned by
y. Cochran. Philip started in the half
mile dash, but was shy of speed In the
five furlongs dash he also finished in the
ruck. Royal Fan, palpably short of
work, showed signs of some quality III
the five furlongs race, and should win
races in the Islands next year. Del Vista
took the three-quarters of a mile dash
from the favorite, Molly Connors which
again proved that five furlongs is her
limit Four and a half furlongs is prob
ably all that she cares to go. Del Vista's
win was the only turn up of the day.
Old Dixie Land ran a cracking good
race with Humburg's Fiero over a mile
of ground, making a dead heat of. it. The
run-om was won by Moirs ex-hurdler by

the misfortune to miscalculate the dis

Mr. Montana from the ground the latter
laying no blame on the part of the

Mr.. Montana at first thought he had
received only a severe bruise but later
discovered the arm was broken. He
was taken to the Queens Hospital by
Dr. Wood where his injury was attend

arm several years ago and seems espe-

Despite the nearly 200 years which have elap apsed since the execution of this notorious hishwayman of the seas. public inter est still clings to the tales of his buried treasures. and anything which tends to throw light on the question of what he did with the gold and jewels, which it is believed he acquired by bloody means, is sure to find eager readers.
 Here is the letter, in spelling and punctuation, as it is supposed to have left the bloody pirates pen:

given was found among number of family papers which recently came into the possession of Mir. Field, who is a descendant of the Warmers. The pa pers are now in the custody of the rec ord commissioners of Providence. Con corning it MT. Field said yesterday:
 Prom it's appearance the letter would seem to be a copy and not an original, although it was evidently written many years ago. There are many evidences that it is authentic. It purports to be a letter written by Kidd after his capture at Boston, while he was a prisoner there, to q friend in New York. of whom he desired assist ance in his evil plight. The date, TOOL, is credible, since it was about that time or little later that Kidd was taken to England, tried and executed for his crimes. The Indian town of Quabog, spoken of. is now Brookheld, in Wor- cester county, Massachusetts. The old Indian trail led through there. The Moore affair spoken of is celebrated in the son Of Captain Kidd in a stanza which runs something like this:
 My name was Captain Kidd as I sailed, as I sailed;
 My name was Captain Kidd, as
 sailed:
 I murdered William Moore,
 And I left him on the shore.
 And left him in his gore as I sailed.
 Lord Belmont" continued Mr. Field. twas a royal governor of part of New York state. In the letter the words which would tell exactly where the treasure was buried are omitted and their places are taken by crosses. Whether this letter was really penned by Kidd cannot be told with certainty now, but it seems exceedingly prob able"
 From the spelling it is apparent that it was written by a man unlettered. more accustomed, perhaps, to handling a boarding house cutlass and pricking captives with his sharp sword as they walked the plank than to welding a goosequill. The spelling of the name Kid is worthy of notice. All writers of today give it an additional d. The date TOOL may mean that it was writ ten in the first month of 1700.
 As to the missing words, which are, after all. the most interesting parts of the letter, if the statement be not a bull. it is likely that along with this letter from Kidd to Bailey went an other written in which was given the key to the crosses. Perhaps the mes senger proved faithless, became pos sessed of the key and took the treasure to himself, or failing in efforts to un- ravel the mystery, left Kidd to his fate and handed the letter to his children their bequest from the dishonored sea robber. Perhaps he delivered it into Baileys hands. In that case Bai- ley may have recovered the treasure and done what he could, though vainly, to help the man who trusted him, or he may have been tempted by the CIa hot 1n Ia rin n himself with so little trouble. and, for saking Kidd. may have dug up the jewels and diamonds and ended his days surrounded by comfort and haunted by a bad conscience. The treasure may have been unearthed, or it may be buried today. indestruGt- able store of wealth. at a spot within sight of the Massachusetts state house dome.-Providence Journal

The Cuban Commissioners.

General Woods statement of the attitude
of the Cubans toward the Piatt amend
ment is very assuring. and strengthens the
hope of an adjustment of the matters In
dispute between this government and the
Cuban constitutional convention. 1t diff
fers. one may see at glance. materially
from the statements that have come from
other sources. and upon which many mis-
givings have been founded. The Platt
amendment as whole has never been re-
jected by the convention, and but two
features of 1t have given the Cubans any
disquiet. One of those features is the right
of this government to intervene in the In
terests of order in Cuba in case situation
should develop beyond the power of the
Cuban government itself to control. and
the other is the establishing of American
naval stations in the island
With regard to intervention it should be
plain to the Cubans that order in Cuba
is something upon which the United States
is bound to insist. SPANS failure either to
deserve or to secure it led to her expulsion
from the island. 1t is no less necessary
now than then. Cuba's welfare as well as
our own demands it. Free government in
Cuba will be attended with many difficult
ties, in the very nature of things. We
Were put to it ourselves at the start to
maintain free government in this country.
1t is the greatest of blessings, but it re-
quires a good deal of attention. That the
United States will abuse the right is not
to be assumed. On the contrary. it viii
be to our interests to respect it at all
times.
The question of naval stations is even
simpler from the American point of view.
Whether Cuba cares to allow it or not,
the United States is. and always will be-
her, Cuba's. natural protector. We shall
protect ourselves in protecting her. In
supported, she would be an easy mark for
an enemy of consequence in case of an
armed clash. But supported by us she will
enjoy immunity from bullying on the part
of any outside power. Why not there
fore equip US with naval stations SO as to
make US the better prepared to render this
common service in case 1t should at any
time be necessary? There will be no peril
to Cuba In the grant. II the United States
should ever turn tyrant and decide to take
Cuba against the wishes of its people. the
lack of naval stations in the island would
not stay such purpose. 1t could easily
be executed without them.
The Cuban commissioners are most well
come. That they should desire to be fully
satisfied on all matters relating to their
Country is praisewOrthy, and that they will
De as the result of their Washington visit
seems altogether likely. The only persons
IN the United States who would rejoice in
the failure of their mission are those who
nave always sought to beiittIe them and
VINO from one cause or another openly
sympathized with Spain during the time
thal CuDa was striving to release herself
from the chains that bound her.
