insurgents has been averted 1t seems
that Lieut.. Baines discovered a pris

and of Samar, where several were con-
fined through a hole that had been
made in the wall. An investiga ton
showed a plan to fill the Jail with bolo-
m en- and to call the guard, which would
be necessary to get the door open, and
then to attack the garrison. 1t also de-
veloped that the instigators were
priest and the presidente, both of whom
have been arrested, together with sew
eral other prominent persons.
Other attempts have been discovered,
but fortunately frustrated, at Pambu-
jan and other points in Samar. Several
persons have been arrested in connec-
ton with these.
ReinfOrcementS are being rushed to
Samar. Three hundred and thirty ma
rines under Lieutenant Colonel Mancil

Gently arrived in Manila, and they say
that the news of American disasters
spreads like wildfire among the natives,

The troops in Samar anticipate hard

General Lacuna, who surrendered last
May, has complained to General Chaffee
that the terms upon which he and his
force surrendered have not been re-
spected by the Americans He exhibits
a document signed by himself and Gen
eral Frederick Funston in which he and
his force are granted immunity in re-
Spect of all acts committed contrary to
the laws of war.
Since this docum ent was executed,
several of Lacuna's officers and men
have been tried, condemned and sem
fenced to death for killing American
prisoners. General Funston says that
when it was signed he gave Lacuna
orally to understand that the killing of
American prisoners was excepted La
cuna admits that something was said
on the subject, but says no thorough
understanding was reached; and he
considers the written agreement bind
ing.

STANDS BY ROOSEVELT.
Mr.. Sheldon Commends Him For
Eating With B. Washington.

Rev. Chas. NJ. Sheldon, whose senti-
ments are priced as far as books are
known, has given his sentiments in re-
gard to President Roosevelt's recent en-
tertainment at dinner of the great ne
gro emancipator, Booker T. Washing
ton. Mr.. Roosevelt is being bitterly con-
demned and warmly praised for his ac-
ton. In his preliminary talk last night
at the Central Congregational church,
Mr.. Sheldon said. in part:
Our president al Washington recent
ly invited to his table a good man, a
Christian man, a scholar, a gentleman;
and any man who is privileged to have
Booker Washington to eat with him at
his table should feel himself honored.
would feel myself honored to have such
a man to eat with m at my table; and
any man who has a breath of the true
humanity in him should feel himself
honored. The effect of the presidents
action may be far reaching, toward the
king down of social distinctions
but whatever the result may be I thank
God that we have a president who does
such things
Mr.. Sheldon then proceeded with the
third chapter of his story, THE Reform
err" The story is growing in interest
The hero, John Gordon, who forsook the
household of his wealthy father to live
in Hope House in the slumS to study
humanity, is a strong character. His
first work is investiga ting a tenement
block. He finds much that is loathsome
and shocking and looks up the list of

Sweetheart'S father His sweetheart
had practically refused to follow him in
his new life and his isolation becomes
more pronounced. Every seat in the
church was taken and the attention
given Mr. Sheldon was perfect.

Judge Kohlsaat Modifies His Injunc.
tion Order Against Picketing.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Judge Kohlsaat of
the United States circuit court today
modified his injunction order against
the members of the International assoc
iation of the machinists in the Allis-
Chalmers case so that peaceful picket
ing or influencing workmen by moral
suasion is permitted. The court issued
the formal order today and in the sew
eral counts of the Injunction specifically
barred acts of violence, or threats tend
ing toward intimidation The counsel
for the machinist association put the
question whether this form of injunction
would allow peaceful picketing, to
which the court replied that it was not
intended to prevent moral suasion, bur
that it was impossible to draw the line
between peaceful picketing and intini-
dation and that each case would have to
stand on its own merits The machinistS'
association at once appealed the case to
the U. S. circuit court of appeals.

to Have a Working Model Built.
Viewed With Approval.

The efforts of the Planters AssOcia-
ton to encourage invention Of machin-

now done by hand seems in a fair way
to meet with success. w. w. Kicker

G. Gregg q Company, dealers in sugar
mill machinery left by the China yes
terday for New York. He has in his
possession the specifications for a new
cane loading machine. In New York
he will have model of his machine
built and it will be brought here for
trial.
1t is said by those who are compe-
tent to judge and have seen the speci-
fications for this new device that IL
gives much promise of success, and Mr..
Kicker has had no trouble in securing
the necessary capital for the develop
ment of his ideas, and the practical
test of his machine.
The Planters Association at its last
annual meeting offered a prize of 81, 500
for the best design of an apparatus to
transport cane TO and load it in rail-
way cars, the competition for these de-
signs to close June 30 1901.
1t is not known whether Mr.. Kicker
intends to enter this competition with
his designs or not.
The association has also offered a
prize OF 81, 900 for the best designs of a
machine for reaping sugar cane in the
plantation fields, and a further prize of
$1,000 for the best machine that shall
actually reap cane in the field in a

WAS ALMOST HURRICANE
TERRIFIC WIND STORM BREAKS
AT LAHAINA.
Native Boatmen are Terrorized-An 81
Foot Cocoanut Palm at the Fish
market Crashes in the Street.

LAHAINA, January 1S.-The storm
which has been raging on the Hamakua
coast for some days broke at this point
yesterday evening. The wind tore ter
ritically through the trees, and great
white caps arose on the seas, as far
as the eye could reach. Communication
with Lanai was entirely out of the
question. The Japanese boatmen absO-
lutely refused to attempt to go thither
in the boats, and even the native boat
men refused.
The wind here was almost a hurri-
cane. A big 81 foot cOcoanut palm at
the fishmarket came down with a crash
among the children and japanese in
the streets but fortunately no one was
hurt. The native boatmen were terror
stricken at the appearance of the ele-
ments, and in general the portentous
signs of sky and wind and sea were
such as are seldom seen here.
At this writing the sky is clearing
and the wind dying down. Slmulta-
neously with this severe gale here,
there was a tremendous rain storm in
the region of Paia, and generally on the
Koolau side of the island

was no valid reason for OBTAINING Lib
by so he told the sailor to get him
gone.
Libby's Norwegian blood was up
however and he refused to be COM
forted. He would not take his clothes
from Mccarthy but hied himself to the
