Barkada Notes.

The happenings of our commu- nity are so monotonous that we can't find much to write about.
 The continual roll of wagons, to and from the gin, is about all we hear or see.
 The cotton is about all gathered and will soon be all ginned and ready for market.
 The farmers do not seem to be in a hurry about rushing their cot ton to market.
 We hope the frost will stay off a long while yet, for our gardens are supplying all the vegetables we need, such as beans, cabbage, new potatoes, in fact, all kinds of vege- tables common for spring. but very uncommon for this season of the year.
 The sweet potato crop is very fine. Mir. Hearn dug 25o bushels.
 The health of the people in thls community is remarkably good, not case of sickness is reported.
 After all our misfortunes, result ing from the droughth, we will make it through very well this winter, and with cheerful hearts be ready to plant another crop next spring. l believe, though the farmers have so many burdens to bear, and are so very insignifi- cant, only on election days, are

ALLEGED OBJECT OF VISIT TO
ENGLAND.
May Supply the Funds to Tide over the
War Deficit in the British Budget.
The Gossip.

LONDON, April 14-Between the
Chancellor of the Exchequer and ].
Pierpont Morgan the financial world at
this moment is in a position to do some
tall guessing.
While each in his own way provides
ing mis- intentions, the taliest guess yet
heard couples the two named In sonei
what remarkable fashion.
How Sir Michael Hicks Beach in
tends providing funds to meet the war
deficit has ELECTED deluge of sugges-
tions, ranging from high protection to
wholesale grab of millions supposed
to be in chancery, but a Lombard street
man who claims to know what he is
talking about declares Mr. Morgan's S
visit to London at a moment when the
budget absorbs attention is anything
but accidental. More unlikely things
have happened, he says, than Mr.. Nor
gan finding cash to meet the deficit of
the British eXchequer.
For weeks past he declares. the Gov
ernment financial department has been
feeling New York opinion regarding the
feasibility of raising a loan of G10,000,-
600 or e15,000,0 900. The present condition
of the New York money market leads
to tie belief that it could be obtained
for 8 to 81 on a loan issued at par.
Lombard street would want at least
one-half per cent more.
The general opinion of financiers here
is that the Government intends to con-
tinue the present policy of getting funds
| from hand to mouth until the war is
really over, and then loan covering
the entire cost, say of 100000, 600, will
be tioated, chargeable on the revenues
of the annexed republics.
Color is given to the suggestion by
the close connection of the Morgans
with the Government, owing to the fact
that "a partner of the London house of
]. p. Morgan & Co is Clinton Dawkins
who resigned his position as financial
member of the council in India to ac-
| cept the chief place in the Anglo-Ame-
rican house.

MANILA SCANDALS

MANILA, April 13, 2:25 P. M.-The
trial of Sergeant Memson, the first case
in the commiss9ry scandals, began
with the startling disclosures expected.
Two witnesses testified that quantities
OF fiour'were taken from Government
warehouse and sold by three commits
sary sergeants and two others, who di-
vided the proceeds. Finnick, proprietor
of an American bakery, was incrimi-
mated and other business men were also
involved. The extent of the illegal
sales has not been ascertained.
General MarArthur has forwarded to
Washington special report on saloons
and the social evil in the Philippine
islands.
Information concerning the doings OF
Aguinaldo is withheld by the authori-
ties. The wife and mother of Agui-
naldo have been almost his only visit
ors during the past week. General Mac
Arthur considers inopportune the sug-
gestion made here that Aguinaldo visit
the United States.

LOGAN ARRIVES TODAY
TRANSPORT BRINGS QUANTITY
OF MAIL MATTER.
Is Under Rush Orders and Will Leave
Tomorrow Night for the Philippines.
Congressman Hull Aboard.

The army transport Logan was re-
ported after Q o'clock this morning
eight days from San Francisco. The
lookout at Diamond Head first reported
that the vessel was the China but sub
sequently he perceived his mistake but
it was too late to prevent people from
going down to the Pacific Mail dock to
wait for the incoming vessel.
The Logan left San Francisco at noon
of the 18th. She has about 105 sacks
of mail. The mail was fumigated and
the postal authorities stated that it
would not be ready for distribution un-
til o'clock this evening
There are 1870 people in all aboard
the vessel the majority of them being
regular troops to the Philippines. There
are 54S men of the 11th Infantry, 322
men of the 9th Cavalry, and 271 men
of the 10th Cavalry. The various de-
tachments are accompanied by officers
ands with the view of studying military
As a special passenger on the trans
port is Congressman ]. A. II. Hull,
chairman of the committee on military
affairs. He is accompanied by his wife
and daughter. Congressman Hull is
making tour of the Philippine ISL
ands with the view of study military
matters in that section.
Among the other civilian passengers
are l.. r. Whitley and A. F. Odlin, who
have been appointed judges of the court
of first instance at Manila. Mr.. Odlin
| is accompanied by his wife.
The transport is under rush orders
and will endeavor to get away tomor-
row night for Manila. The reason she
is hurried to such degree is the neces-
sity of bringing home the various re-
giments by July LIST.
1t was first thought that there was
I'measles aboard the vessel as the pas
sengers said that several cases were
on board. This statement appears t.
have been an error as the boat cam'
alongside the dock and the soldier!
were permitted to leave the vessel. Th'
mails were fumigated on account o
the smallpox in San Francisco.

GLAZE ON TRIAL

SAN FRANCISCO April 13.-The
trial of Robert e. Glaze for the murder

Dunno and jury yesterday was re-

Edward Peixotto made the opening
statement for the defense. He said:
The defense in this case is purely and
simply self-defense." Peixotto re-
viewed the quarrels of the partners
down to the day of the shooting. He
alleged that Glaze went into the old
bakery in search of Trewella with a
view of getting the latter to sign some
papers relative to the purchase of the
interest deceased had in the hotel.
Trewella said: What you here 1 will
kill you!" The defendant saw some
thing glisten in the hand of the de-

quick succession. on leaving the bak-
cry he emptied the cartridges from the
revolver and put in a fresh cartridge,

LATEST FIGURES REGARDING
THE CLAIMS.
The Aggregate Still Said to be Beyond
China's Ability to Pay-An American
Proposal.

BERLIN, April 13.--It is learned to-
night from an authoritative source that
the Chinese indemnities for war ex-
penses exclusive of the claims of pri-
vate individuals and missions, have
been fixed as follows Russia 800, ,000, 900
marks (about 100000, ,000); France, $780,
900, 900 marks (about $65000, 000); Ger
many, 24O,OOO, 900 marks (about $50, ,OOO-
O0O); England. 9O,O0O,0O0 marks (about
$22, ,500,000). France will also present
claims for the indemnity of the Italian
mission.
1t is admitted in official circles that
the majority of the indemnity claims
have been formulated at Peking, but
not all, so it is impossible to state the
amount of the total to be demanded.
WASHINGTON April 13.-The last
advices to the State Department from
Mr.. Rockhill contain further details re-
specting the amount of the indemnities
claimed from China by the powers. 1t
appears that these claims have been
much exaggerated in some statements,
though the sum total is still far in eX-
cess of the amount of money it is be-
lieved here that China can raise. 1t is
the belief of the State Department that
the total claims should not be allowed
to exceed $3.50, 10000 of $200,0O0, 900. Ac-
cording to information received here,
the british cIalm so far as formulated,
is reasonable in amount as compared
with other claims. In fact, the United
| States, Great Britain and Japan repre-
sent in these negotiations the moderate
element, whose desire is to prevent the
! imposition of charges that shall destroy
4 the Chinese Government and result in
! the division of the empire.
! No one of the claims exceed $100, ,000,-
| 900, and even the largest is something
! less than this amount. This is believed
| to be the Russian claim, which is fixed
at $90,000,000. The German claim is
! flexible, ranging between $50, ,00O,0 and
| $S0000,000, but is nearer the former
will grow. AS already stated the
claim of the United States is $25,000,- :
900, and with these few totals it will
| be seen that If the remaining powers
are to be allowed a proportionate
share, the aggregate will be beyond
China's ability to pay, which has been
tentatively estimated at 5000, 100000
| There is reason to believe that the
kernel of the American proposition
touching the distribution of the in
| demnity funds between the powers is
found in a suggestion that the allot-
ment be made upon the basis of the
number of troops actually employed by
each power in the relief of the legation
ers. By this scheme the forces brought
into China since the occupation of Pc
king are disregarded as being entirely
unnecessary to secure any lawful and
unanimously desired end. On this basis
Great Britain would rank first Japan
next the limited States third and SO IN

WONDERFUL BILL INTRODUCED
IN THE HOUSE.
1t Provides That all The Claims Shall
be Paid-An Automatic Device for
Making it Constitutional.

House bill number ia, by S. K. Ma
hoe, just printed, is the companion of
the freak cremation bill, number lib,
for which KaWaihoa may claim the
glory. Mahoe's bill deals with 1895
claims in a very remarkable manner,
starting with a provision that all
claims" be paid and continuing with
an unintelligible mixture of contradic-
tory enactments. The bill is made con-
stitutional by new and simple meth
od-that of simply enacting that it
shall not conflict with any other stat
ute. Three times in eight sections the
act contradicts itself as to the amount
to be paid for claims and other fea-
lures that Mahoe's fellow lawmakers
regard as strange, are numerous. The
act is as follows:
BE it enacted by the Legislature of
the Territory of Hawaii:
Section l. That all claims for dam
ages by persons arrested and imprison-
ed during the year 1895 is hereby
granted: setting forth facts, circum-
stances and positions, prior to the time
of the arrest and Imprisonment by the
Government.
Section 2. That the Circuit Court
of the First judicial Circuit be empow-
cred to hear the matter regarding such
Imprisonment and to determine from
the (evidence) testimonies given, relat-
ing to the insurrection (reVolution) of
1895 aforesaid; with the knowledge of
the Attorney-General representing the
Government in all cases relatir~ to
claims of damages by persons so i'm
prisoned.
Section 8. That the Territory of
Hawaii shall nrovide for and pay the
sum of ($l00,000) One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars towards such claims by
persons imprisoned in 1895, aforesaid
and shall pay such sum of money as
decided by the Circuit Court afole-
said.

ed, under the provisions of this Act
are hereby exempted Cor released), each

which the Clerk of the Court may tax
and which may have accrued, as by law
provided; the imposition of such costs
by said Clerk of said Court shall moi

been favorably decided by said Court

Act shall be In compliance with Sectior
