the Difficulty.


A dispatch from Buenos Ayres. dated
December Is. says: Although the situation
between Argentina and Chile has i'm
proved, 1t has not yet been clearly defined.
The council Of Argentine ministers has
spent much time In studying the two para
graphs Of the Chilean note which forms
the basis Of that country's proposition. an
agreement upon which would mean the
solution OF the pending difficulties. The
note will be answered tomorrow.
The council has decided to accept the
first paragraph concerning the construc-
ton Of roads. This paragraph is satisfac-
tory to the Argentine republic. The COM
piiation OF the second paragraph, referring
to the pretended occupation by Argentina
is not acceptable to the ministers The as
surance is given that the Argentine gov
ernment, replying to this paragraph, will
answer that it is impossible for it to rec
ognize an act which. after investigation.
has been disproved.
The hope prevails here that everything
will be arranged on a friendly basis within
a few days. 1t is believed that Chile win
insist upon presenting an Insignificant

Argentina still continues taking military
measures Men, of wealth are offering the

COLD BEER ON
TAP TO GUESTS
Product of the New Brewery
Tested by Press
Experts.

The Honolulu Brewing and Mailing
Company entertained newspaper men of
this City on Saturday afternoon at their
finely equipped plant on Queen street,
where an opportunity was given the
guests to taste the product of the first
brew Of beer in the ISLANDS. The amber
fluid, cold and clear, was tapped from
the huge tuns and served in a handsome
German breaker luncheon was also
given with the beer. The formal recep-
ton took place on the third landing of
the brewery, close to the entrance to the
arctic-like room in which the great casks
holding thousands of gallons each are
stored. The party present was taken over
the building by Superintendent Water
man and every detail of the methods en-
ployed in brewing explained. The ma
chinery is of the latest pattern known in
the making of beer, and much care has
been exercised in the preparation OF the
first brew.
Superintendent Waterman stated Satur-
day that the beer would not be placed
on the market until July l. By waiting
until this date the brewery company es-
capes paying the war revenue tax In ad-
dtion to the regular revenue imposed on
every barrel of beer that is sent out by
the brewery. Just what name will be
given this beer has not been decided upon
as yet.
The contention of the local brewers In
favor of their product is that it escapes
all the shaking up that imported beer
necessarily undergoes in transit, and
therefore is the same when placed be-
fore the consumer as if drawn directly
at the brewery.
AS all the great casks are filed. no
brewing is now being done, but as soon
as the product goes upon the market
brewing will again be- resumed. The
company has a s250, 600 plant and the of
ficers say they have come to stay.

reasonable expense. There is lot of

had it not been that the final part OF

another habit, which we are sorry to
say is growing, and disturbs many of
the auditors, and that is rising to feet
OF some people to arrange their wraps,
and OF Others to leave the theater the
moment the final lines of the last act
are reached. The object of this is
doubtless to avoid the rush, but
it is noted that even when the
audiences are small and no danger
OF impeded egress, these same people
commit this breach of decorum. Let
us hope that Olympia audiences will
not neglect to heed this caution OF an
act which alone mars their splendid
reputation.

miles from Tacoma. When asked how

leaders that there is a. much iustilica-

Mckinley a. in the American soldiers
killing Filipinos; the taking of hu-
man life under any circumstances Is
unjustiliable. The colonists are avowed
