Major George Wood writes the fol-

The arrival OF the mail by the trans
port Hancock brought us some real
good news, for the Lieutenant Colonel
wrote that he was arranging to send
new officers for Hilo by the Picking,
which was due to arrive next day, and
that in the sweet "mahope" Captain

delighted at the thought of having
some company for the trip, but 1t
meant some tall hustling. The Picking
did not land her passengers until after
8 a. m.- and he had to be on board
the Wilder steamship before IL o'clock;
still we made it all right, although
with very little time to spare. It look
ed kind of tough to take our new
friends Captain and Mrs. Nissen,
straight from one sea voyage to an
other without chance Of seeing the
beauties of Honolulu, but they prefer
red to get the agony over without de-
lay.
The trip over was one of the rough

when we tied up to the Hilo wharf
and grasped the hands of Lieutenant
Mcleod, Sergeant Major Todd and
Brother Handy. There were mutual
congratulations all around. Or course
it was raining, but as that makes the

Great Britain Demands More Salts
factory Explanation Of Germany.
MATTER TAKES ON GRAVE PHASE
Referred to Sir Ernest Satow for
Diplomatic Action.
FLAG WAS FIRED UPON

LONDON, May 1.-THE Ewo incident at
Tien Tsin May is assuming q graver
| character. Some German soldiers guarding
German bridge across the Pei-ho, at the
| south end of the British concession there,
fired the British tug Ewo, wounding
two Of her crew, after the vessel had
touched the bridge, which impeded river
traffic Owing to the unsatisfactory nature
of the German commanders explanations,
the matter has been referred to the British
minister at Pekin, Sir Ernest Satow, with
a view to diplomatic action being taken.
According to a dispatch from Pekin to
the London Times, published today, after
two of the Chinese crew hau been wounded
they have since died), the remainder were
arrested, taken to a German prison and
fiogged. Gen. Lorne Campbell asked Gen.
Won Lessel for an explanation for the ''un-
warrantable act of brutality" Won Lessel' s
reply, which has just been received prom
1Sing that the incident shall not be re-
peated, at least so far as the use Of arms
is concerned, Is regarded as quite made
quate. The Times, in editorial, says:
Comment of the Times.
Apart from the question of the flag
which the tug flew, We have no hesitation
in declaring that such punishments are out
of all proportion to the alleged offense.
We would have condemned them If they
had been inflicted on coolies sailing under
the German flag at Kiao-chau. The fog
ging proves that the German authorities
deemed that something more than two
lives was necessary to atone for the
heinous offenSe of running against a Ger
man bridge. We will want to know who
the authorities were who took the law into
their own hands and executed it in this
brutal fashion. The fact that the crew
dealt with in this high-handed style were
under the British flag introduces serious
factor Won Lessel's apology is an aggra-
walton of the original wrong done us. 1t
is not the sort of satisfaction we are likely
to accept Tien Tsin is not the only place
where Germans are disposed to forget that
are their allies and not their subordi-
mates"
The Times concludes with condemna-
tion of the various German eXpeditions.

VIEWS OF AGUlNALDO
INSURGENT LEADER TALKS OF Er
TURE OF PHILIPPINES.
He is Pleased With the Munfefpa]
Rule which Has, Reen Estab-
Iished in Manila,

MANILA, May 1T.-Aguinaldo In an in
tervfew with the correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press today expressed the opin-
lon that the American government of the
Philippines, in order to be unquestionabIy
satisfactory, should conform strictly to
the constitution. Asked whether he con-
sidered the Filipinos capable of exercising
all the privileges guaranteed by a literal
Interpretation and application Of the con-
stitution, he declined to express an opin-
ion.
Concerning the political and commercial
future of the archipelago, Aguinaldo was
reserved. He said it was hardly time to
discuss it, while in what he considers to
be captivity. The military officials say
he is kept guarded principally for his own
protection. Aguinaldo says that he knows
of no enemies, needs no protection and is
willing to go out unattended If permitted
to do SO. He is pleased with the munich
pal law comforting fuH local self-govern-
ment.
Concerning the PROVINCIAL law. by which
the governor only is I'M elective official,
Aguinaldo was uncommunicatVe.
It is not expected that Aguinaldo will
continue to be prominent in Philippine
affairs, though his friends concede his eX-
ceptional abilities for leadership.
Next week the balance of the 1st Infan-
try will proceed to the Island Of Samar.
Sauadrons of the 9th and 10th Cavalry will
also be sent to Samar.
Nine new American Judges called on Gen.
Macarthur today. The general said their
duties were of greater importance than
those of any of the officers who preceded
them. He commended the establishment OF
laws and just Judiciary ahead Of the
coming commercial activity.

VICTORY FOR AMERICAN LEAGUE.
Injunction Proceedings at Phfladel-
phia DiSm ssed Today.

phfa DtSm missed Today.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-THE injunc
ton proceedings begun by the Philadel
, phia National League base ball club to en-
join Second Baseman Lajoie and Pitchers
Bernhard and Fraser from playing base
ball with the local American League club,
and to enjoin the managers of that club
from engaging the players, were dismissed
by the judges of the common pleas court
today. The judges say the contract lacks
mutually. The court says If the injunction
was granted Lajoie's services would be
subject to the Philadelphia base ball club
for all time, while if the club cared to do
so 1t could dispense with him on ten days
notice.
The proceedings were instituted by John
I. Rogers principal owner Of the Philadel-
phia National League club. He named in
his petition Lajoie, Fraser Bernhard, Pres
ident 3. F. Shibe of the American League
club: Connie Mack, manager, and Frank
J.. Hough, agent of the organization, as
those sought to be enjoined.
The suit brought for the purpose OF
testing the validity Of the renewal or option
clause in the National League contract.
Mr.. Rogers claimed that the players bound
themselves to give their services exclusive
that their contracts gave the club an option
for two succeeding seasons.
Counsel for the American League claimed
that the contracts were Illegal because they
deprived the players Of their constitutional
rights to secure the best return possible
for their services and because the contracts
are one-Sided and inequitable.

ENLARGING TREAsuRER,s OFFICE.
| Response to Demands of Increased
| Volume of Business.

Response to Demands of Increased
Volume of Business.
Responding to the demands of the in
creased volume of business Of the country
the Treasury Department will have to ex-
pand one of it's bureau July /. There will
be an enlargement of the quarters of the
United States treasurer, the installation
Of additional presses to complete the seal
ing and separation of currency and the ap-
pointment of additional clerical force.
Congress at the last session provided the
following increase of force for the Treas
urer's office: One deputy assistant treas
urer, one chief of division, eight expert
counters, two pressmen and six separators.
These appointments cannot be made before
July 1 next.
The expansion in the treasurers office is
due to the growth Of the department 8
business especially in regard to the out
put of United States notes, national bank
notes and stamps. The department is
pushed to its utmost capacity in supplying
small notes. This is not a seaSonabie de-
mand, as occurs when crops are being
moved, for this is not the crop season. 1t
is a continuation of a situation which the
department has been laboring to meet for
some time.
One result of this demand has been that
the department was compelled to send out
small notes before they were duly seasoned
They wore out more quickly in this way
and caused extra labor for the bureau
which redeems worn currency. An
deavor will be made in the future to keep
large stocks of paper on hand and to have
the notes thoroughly dry before they are
sent out. Some difficulty has been expert
enced in keeping a reserve of postage
stamps on hand. The department is re-
Quired to have 1900, 600 two-cent and 1,000.-
600 one-cent stamps in stock all the time.
The bureau Of engraving and printing has
been working overtime for a month to
bring the reserve up to the requirement.
1t Is also probable that the national bank
redemption agency will have to be enlarged
and that additional quarters will have to
be secured in some of the buildings occu-
pied by the outlying bureaus Of the Treas
ury Department.
Assistant Secretary Allies in discussing
today the contemplated expansion of the
treasurer's Office, said that the necessity
for enlargement was highly indicative of
the condition of the countrys business,
pointing to the prosperous state of affairs.

MARYLAND STATE CONVENTIONS.
Both Parties VIII Probably Meet in
June or July.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, May 1.-THE demo-
cratic state committee will meet in Balti-
more Wednesday. May 20. and the republi-
can committee will meet here on June T.,
one week later. The calls for the meet
ing of the two bodies were issued by
Messrs Vandver and Goldsborough, the
respective chairman, today.
Both Messrs. Vandiver and Goldsborough,
as we'll as the other leaders of the two
parties, say that the state conventions will
be held the latter part OF June or early in
July, within one week of each other, and
that the campaign for The control of the
next general assembly, as well as for other
state Offices will begin with the meetings
of the committee, about the 1st Of June.
and continue without intermission until
election day.
The leaders of both parties claim that no
difficulty Is expected in carrying the state.
but the indications are that If the republi-
can factions can be kept together as they
were In the city election a short time ago
the democrats will be. defeated. The best
and most impartial Judges are OF the opin-
lon that the republicans can easily win II
they present united front, and that with
Mr.. German as the issue a large proper
ton OF the Independent democrats Will
vote the republican ticket.
