TWO Narrow Escapes,

Last Wednesday morning Willie, a
son OF Geo. Thompson was walking
across the railroad bridge, which
crosses Eagle River, GA his way to
town, and while watching the men at
work on the new bridge, instead Of
looking where he was walking, fell
through the tresel. and falling about
eighteen feet striking on some bushes
under the bridge, and was not in
jured.
About ten minutes later than the
above accident and nearly opposite on
the new bridge, James White stone
mason was working on the center
pier, which is only four feet wide at
the top, was in the act of placing
large flag stone, when one Of the
hooks slipped from it's hold causing
MI White to fall backward, falling
about fifteen feet and striking his side
on plank, fracturing two ribs. DR..
Sanborn attended the injured man,
and at our going to press, Jim is i'm
proving nicely
Both accidents were miracles, as
beth Of the parties might have easily
have met death in their fall.

THE BELGIAN
HARE HERE
Two of the Pests
Are Known to
Be in Town.
MIGHT BRING RUIN
TO CANE FIELDS
Their Importation Was a Violation
of a Territorial Law-Citizens
Much Concerned.

"AVE Belgian hares' been introduce
II ed into the Hawaiian Islands? It |
IA is asserted by George Carter that |
at least two of the pests have been |
brought to Honolulu and are now in the
possession Of one of its citizens. His
friend, Mr.. Campbell, of Castle &
Cooke, while on one Of the tramway
cars, saw a passenger with a crate in
which two hares We're secured. Mr.
Campbell, who has seen enough of the
asserts that the two hares We're none
other than the pest which has been a
lscourge to every section OF the United
States in which they have been allow
ed to breed.
Two Belgian hares will breed at such
an alarming rate as to cause the varie-
IT, to become a four footed devastation.
A number of persons interested in SUI
gar plantations see in the breeding of
these Belgian hares menace TO the
tcane fields. The mongoose was a pest
which is being controlled to certain
Iextent by a vigorous warfare which is
being waged against them constantly.
but all the shotguns in Oahu would
hardly be a match for the thousands
upon thousands of Belgian hares which
might spring from the pair in the crate
seen this week. 1t is conjectured that
the hares were brought ashore quietly
from a sailing ship from the Coast, as
law of the Republic OF Hawaii. Sec
ton 1883 Of the Penal Laws Of 1897 says:
The keeping and breeding of rabbits
in the various islands Of the Republic
of Hawaii is hereby prohibited.
Section 1854. Any person who shall
keep or shall maintain for breeding
any rabbits in any of the islands OF
the Republic of Hawaii is guilty Of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by a fine not
exceeding 800 for the first offenSe,
and upon conviction thereof a second
time, shall be punished by a fine not
exceeding 800 and Imprisonment at
hard labor not exceeding two months.
Section 1885. Any police officer or
other officer of the peace is hereby au-
tnOrlZeQ TO destroy any RABBIT IOunu
in this Republic, and no officer destroy
ing any rabbits shall be liable for any
damages, provided that no officer shall
| enter any inhabited enclosure without
authority of law under a warrant duly
issued.
Wray Taylor, Commissioner of Agri-
culture, states that in all cases when
application has been made for import
ing rabbits he has refused permits, act
ing under the laws He states also that
the Federal authorities have a regula-
ton covering their Importation. Wray
Taylor characterizes the action Of any
one bringing Belgian hares into Hawaii
as deplorable, as it means destruction
to plant life in general if they are al
lowed to run at large.
George r. Carter and others are up
in arms against the introduction of the
hares, and they believe under the cir
| instances that every person should
take it upon himself to ferret out the
two already here and see that they are
destroyed before their numbers in
crease.

SOL BERLlNER
IN A NEW ROLE

Sol Berliner head of the famous family
which arrived at Honolulu in September
1885, the Inflated steamship City Of
| Columbia, and caused all sorts of trouble
in the courts and with divers passengers
on the vessel has appeared in new role
in Manila. The Manila Times of July q,
has the following:
| On Friday evening Jose Reyes a
| tive conductor on the Manila and Dagu-
] pan Railroad was arrested by Sol Ber
| liner, on the charge of embezzling the
| sum of one dollar and forty-three cents
Mexican. The case came up before
Judge Myers Saturday morning at
Binondo Court
During the hearing the attorney for
the accused dealt facetously with Mr..
Sol, first of all startling him with the
| laundering question, fired point blank
at short range: SOL, are you the prose-
cutting attorney here?" Mr. Berliner
stammered and modestly denied the hon.
or, when the lawyer at once replied with
another charge. asking him with rotund
vehemence: Then why do you come here
and prejudice the interests of my client!
MIR. Berlfner slowly digested this legal
conundrum, and then drawing himself UP
to his full height, said he appeared as
the acknowledged and duly authorized
representative of the Manila and Dagu-
pan Railroad The lawyer smiled and the
case proceeded. After short preliminar-
les, the attorney for the defense asked
that the case be continued till next Sat
urday in order to allow a proper prepara-
ton of the case which request was
granted
Jose Reyes, the accused states that he |
has served the company for eleven years |
without any suspicion attaching to him.
His brother acted as d railroad official in
the Spanish days, and the family are |
well-connected and welI-known in the
city of Manila.

PLANS TO ESTABLISH
CUBAN INDEPENDENCE

Washington, Feb. 10.-It Is now ap-
parent to the officers of the admins
tration that it will be scarcely practial
for the United States to withdraw
wholly from the government of Cuba,
under the most favorable circum-
stances. before next fall. mt the ear
liest. This Is conceding the possibility
that the Cuban convention may adopt
constitution entirely acceptable to
this government on or before the first
of April next.
1t Is recognized on all sides that it
will require several months after the
adoption of the constitution to COM
plete the organization of the Cuban
government and have it in successful
operation. All the national officers
must be chosen. laws enacted for the
collection of the revenues and the es-
tablishment of n stable government n
police force or cOnstabulary organized
to take the place of the United
States military force for the preserva-
tion of peace and the maintenance of
order, and the municipal governments
must be organized.
In this country Mt least three months
notice is given of n general election.
and 1t is urged that. owing to the con-
ditions in Cuba. where all the prelim-
mary election machinery has yet to be
prepared, 1t will take more time to pre-
pare for the election of the president
and other national officers, after which
the administrative officers must be np-
pointed and the necessary laws enact
ed before the structure of government
can be properly established.
At any rate, such is the view of the
officers of the administration. as stated
by prominent member of the Cabinet
who is thoroughly familiar with the
situation. This gentleman said also
that when the Cuban government is in
successful operation the United States
troops will be withdrawn from the isl
and. Such withdrawal, he said. would
be made when the Cuban government
requested 1t and 1t was clearly appar-
ent that the government was fully ca
pable of maintaining peace and good
order.

MACARTHUR'S PROCLAMATION
GIVES WARNING TO FILIP1NOS

"Men who participate in hostilitics
without being part of regularly or
ganiZcd force, and without sharing CON
tinuously in Its operations, but who do
so with Intermittent returns to their
homes and avocations, divest them
selves of the character of soldiers ana,
IL captured, are not entitled to the priv
ileges of prisoners of war"
Manila, Feb S.-Since the arrest of
Theodore GarranZa and ID. NJ. Carman,
charged with furnishing supplies to ala
the insurgents. evidence has been rap
idly developing to show that not the
Carman company alone, hut many
business men in Manila have been hay
ing relations with the insurgents. Ihe
secret service officers to-day reporc
from Pagsanjan the capture of three
natives, Cosme, Almonte and Llamos,
members of General Cailles' insurgent
committee in that district. The pa
pers found on them were so personally
discriminating that they were led to dl-
vulge damaging information concern
ing Carman and others not arrested.
Cosme acknowledged that he was Car
mans partner in insurgent trading.
Llamos has become distinguished by
his oratory among the Filipinos.
The police learned that Fabello, cx-
president and ally of Carmnn In his
Laguna DE- Bay dealings, has $1,000
in nsurg6nt money deposited in the
Spanish-Filipino bank at Manila. The
officers confiscatcd this money. Man
ager Bilbas of the bank, who had loan
ed Carman a considerable sum of mon
ey without security, is under suspicion.
New patches of discriminating evil
dence were received by the provost
marshal to-day.
1t has been ascertnined that Fabello
Withdrew $4,000 of the funds of Gen
eral Cailles' insurgcnt committee that
had been deposited in the Spanish
Filipino bank, and invested 1t in two
steamers and tobacco concern, The
police will seize the property.

incc that Aguinaldo has been seen at
Indiang.

for years you have scorncd all appeals
and warnings that have been presented
to you by the virtue-loving portion of
the community.
Now we feel that the time has come
when we must speak to you peremp-
torily. We cease now to endeavor to
persuade. We command. You must
stop this lawlcss and iniluitous bust
ness and stop it ut once.
And we hereby notify you that we
must have unquestionable evidence,
absolutely satisfactory to the commit
tee of public order, which we to-day
constitute. that all your Illicit goods,
together with all the associated fix
lures and furnishings of the places
where your unlawful business has been
carried on, shall have been removed
and shipped from the city before -
o'clock noon, Friday, February 10,
1901.
Upon the strict and literal observ-
ancc of this command we shall insist !:
and if it shall be disregarded, we will
take whatever measures are necessary
for its rigid enforcement.
''If a long-outraged public shall be
compelled to resort to the fundamental
right of sclf-vlndication against Grim
inals and their abettors, the grave
consequence to evil-doers which may
result from such n return must rest
with the defiers and nullificrs of our
laws. and the obstructors of our gov
ernmental machinery. The jointists,
the men who rent property TO jointists.
and the men who have violated their
oaths in tolerating crime-thesc are
thcl disturbers of the peace. and not
the affronted and wronged public.
which, as sovereign. has both the
right and the duty to see that its will
and judgment shall be respected"
