BoTHA MEETS KITcHENER.


London, April lit Is semi oiil-
cially asserted here" says the Cape.
town correspondent Of the Daily Tele-
graph, that Gen. Botha has had an
other interview with Lord Kitchener. in
which he Informed him that he had
seen Gen. Dewet, who still refuses to
entertain any idea Of surrender on ans
terms. Gen. Botha. however, regards
Gen. Dewet irresponsible for his ac-
tons and seeks mOdus ylvendi on be-
half Of all the burgher forces"
The report that Gen. Botha has re-
neWed the negotiations with Lord
Kitchener Is not yet officially con-
iirmed but II Is generally credited and
received with satisfaction except by
the ultra Jlngoes, who fear the govern
ment viii renew the terms recently re-
jected.
Regarding Gen Dewets mental con.
ditlon reports have been very conflict
ing for some time. His recent mac
tivity points 10 there being some truth
in the rumor which alleges that long
continued hardship under the harass-
ing British pursuit has unhinged his
mind
On the other hand a correspondent of
the Times quite recently acknowledged
the wonderful foresight and fertility
Of resource" which characterized De,
vets retreat from Cape Colony.
As during the previous abortlve nego-
tiatlons, the British press again loudly
insists on unconditional surrender"
but with the budget necessities staring
the country In the face. II negotiations
are reopened the Beers, az the Daily
Chronicle remarks editorlally, may
reckon on fair treatment at the hands
OF the British"
NEWS NOT CONFIRMED.
New York, April IA special TO
the Tribune from London says:
The report that Gen. Botha has re-
opened peace negotiations lacks official
confirmation, although one correspond.
ent In sending the news from Capetown
describes il as semi-offical. The fact,
however that the telegram has been al
lowed 10 go over the wires by the mill
tary censor should not be taken as
guarantee Of its correctness. Only the
other day Mr. Kruger secuted the Idea
Of peace without independence and as
serted pssslonately that his officers in
South Africa were OF his opinion. but
II there should be any truth in the re-
port OF the revival Of negotiations II is
clear that the ex-president must have
been mlslnformed for II must follow
that any Idea OF securing the lndeDend-
ence OF the republic has ben finally
abandoned by the Beers II Is entire
ly possible that Gen. Botha does not
find II easy TO cooperate with Dewet
but statements about the latters men
tai decay contrast sharply with the ac-
counts OF the famous raiders foresight
and fertility Of resource during his re-
cent retreat from Cape Colony.

sPENDTHR1Fg Law OF HAWAII
Designed to Protect Wealthy Ma
tivee, But 1t Has Gone Wrong.

Fawaiians read the sensational ac-
count in the mainland press of rich
mems debaucheries and fortunes squan-
dered in fortnight and smile. Particu-
larly to the more intelligent and the
weather. natives the subject is one
which affords considerable amusement.
They passed through the same stage
at one time. Wine suppers, carousals
with actresses, lavish gifts to friends-all
these many years ago were as frequent
in Honolulu as in New York city. That
was before the spendthrift law, also a
relic of the missionaries, but still on the
statnute books of the Island, held many
a rich native in iron bondage firmer than
a prison cell. Needed though it may
have been in it's day, the spendthrift law
is one which next may be called to run
the gauntlet of constitutionality, for it
deprives the victim not only of his prop
eTty, but of his liberty, viii little regard
for due process of law.
This statute has ever be tender
point with the natives. who nave long
since learned, to their sorrow, that they
cannot trife with fortune, even though
it be their own, do the scions of mil
lonaire families of New York and Chi
cago. Such prodigality as has character
lied some of the wealthy citizens of the
states would mean in Hawaii the ap-
pointment of u guardian, who would not

only control the property, but also the
person of the liberal spender.
The Hawaiians are not a thrifty people.
MANY acquired fortunes by the enormous
increases in the value of land and from
the extensive sugar plantations in the
early days Their money, easily acquir
ed was put into circulation again in the
same free and easy manner and the wild
festivities of some of the natives threw
the good missionaries into CONSERVATION.
They saw the work of long years wreck
ed unless they could put a stop to the
mad pace of the natives The spend
thrift law is the result. 1t was a good
law, perhaps, in the hands of good peo-
pie but unfortunately it did not remain
in such hands.
The wild extravaganza and lust of the
natives was checked. A man who spent
more money than his income permitted
was promptly placed under the control
of a guardian, who limited his expendi-
lures as he saw fit The law gave the
courts authority to place in a guardian
ship trust any man who was drinking
more than he should, or spending a
greater amount of money than his in
come permitted. The law was made to
cover almost any case of extravaganza
or foolish expenditure, and hundreds of
men were forced into a "spendthrift
trust which now crowds every court
docket. The estates under this control
amount to hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. No one was exempt from the pro-
visions of the law. If man was a
drunkard, or spent more. than his in
come, on the application of an interested
party he could be restrained. Unscrupu-
/ lous guardians of these estates have
waxed fat and rich, while their wards
are still living. No one was exempt;
! even the kings of the old monarchy were
/ liable to be placed under restraint, and
old Lunalilo was permitted to reign. but
his royal expenditures for wine were linn
tied by the guardian who controlled his
fortune.
! The reaction has now come The court
dockets are beginning to be filled with
applications from men who want their
guardianship terminated and their keep
er discharged, that they may be allowed
/ to spend the remaining portion of lleiI
fortune themselves. Americans and pao-
pie of other nations are included in this
law. One case, that of Scotchman
named Love, was particularly strong,
! His guardian, an attorney, had been get
| ting more from the estate than did his
ward. This ward had amassed a COM
petence of nearly 100000. which he eX-
pected to enjoy in his old age. Six years
/ ago ne was placed IN guardianship be-
cause he had been drinking, and now he
has applied to the courts for relief, which
has been granted. There are numerous
cases of great similarity on the court
dockets. The judges now show an liz
clination to dissolve the spendthrift
trusts when proper showing is made, and
| the corrupt practices engendered by tbs
peculiar law seem likely to be stopped
