NAL Industry will also visit Hawaii.
The Secretary of Agriculture will not
have his experts study the sugar in
dustry at all. He informed me that he
thought we know more about that than
the experts in the Department of Agri-
culture. 1 hope the experts on forestry
will be able to cooperate with our own
commissioner, Mr.. Wray Taylor. We
want to extend and preserve our for
ests, which are rapidly diminishing.
Il have been so busy comforting with
the chiefs and heads of the departments
in the limited time at my command"
added Mr. Cooper, that 1 have not
been able to accomplish anything else.
No. I know nothing about Hawaiian
patronage. / called on the Attorney
General to pay my respects and had a
pleasant chat with him but it was not
regarding offices"
In his conference with Secretary Will
son Mr.. Cooper emphasized the serious
ness of the labor problem. The natives,
he stated, are dying off rapidly, the
mortality being in the neighborhood of
forty deaths to the thousand, and for
eign laborers are getting out of the
country much more rapidly than they
are coming in.
The encourag cement of Chinese labor,
Mr.. Cooper added, is regarded as the
most promising solution, and he said
the territorial government is anxious
that large numbers OF laborers shall
come in from China The sugar cane
crop, that should have been harvested
at the beginning of July, he said is
not yet off the field, and will not be har-
vested before next month. The natives
generally will not work. The coffee in
dustry is lanEuishing and many things
that should be raised there have TO be
bought outside the islands.
Secretary Wilson informed Mr.. Cooper
of report from the superintendent Of
the agricultural station in Honolulu
showing. among other things, that it
costs $26 an acre to fertilize the cane
crop in Hawaii. and pointed out the big
farm wage which had to be paid to
farm laborers, viz. $40 & month. in
Guiding board, which is. approximately,
$40 more than in this country.
Mr.. Cooper suggested that the aver
age farm wage might be even greater.

The population has been estimated at from i5o,ooo to ao.vo, among whom civilization has made very little prugress The inhabitants, Indeed, are mostly savagcs. who have been in continual insurrcction against Spain Tor two or three centuries.
 Tho native ferocity of the inhabitants of the island never, indeed. was subdued by the spanlaris during their long oc- cupation of the Philippines. No pcrsis- tent effort in that behalf was ever made Tcmporization. with some show of force, followed by relaxation Of effort and terms os accommodation. based on con- ditions such as savage bandits would make. was the policy of Spain In dealing with these tribes. Such policy. moreover was agreeable to the Spanish character which was avcrsc Co strenuous effort and liked Co procrastinatc.
 But. under American rule, these easy and accommodating methods arc no long rr pursued. Cruelty and injustice are al- lowed no place. but submission Co rcgu- latious is required. and robbers and say ages arc not permitted to have their way. Our people decline such conventions with them as the Spanarls were accustomed Co make. The consequence is an outbreak of the most fcrocious hostility; with the further consequence that We shall be compelled Co "clean up the Island of Samar.
