Washing gtOn. Oct. 3l.-The long
ordeal to which Admiral Schley
has been subjected since Monday
morning ended yesterday after
noon when his cross examination
was concluded. When the Judge
advocate finished the cross-eN-
animation shortly after 3 o'clock
the court propounded to the ad
miral a number OF queS tions pre-
pared by memb b ers Of the court.
These questions touched many
points of the campaign Of the
lying squadron. but mainly cen
tered about the difficulties en-
countered in coaling and the
reasons for the retograde move
N lei t. Not one of them related
to the battle off Santiago.
The Judge advocates crosse
aminatiyn today covered the re-
tro grade movement, the recon
naissance of May 81, the loop of
the .Brooklyu and the alleged
colloquy with Lieutenant Hodg-
son about the Texas.
One Of the interesting features
OF the day was the development
OF The fact that the report of the
battle written by Admiral Schley
July 6, 1898, was not the original
report. The original report has
never been published and in ac-

San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 81
News reached this city ye,ttr.
day of a bread riot in tue town Oi
Puruandius. Mexico, October -.
in which twenty people were
wounded. many Of whom will die
The riot is the result Of q corn
famine which has prevailed in
that part of Mexico for months,
and the action Of monopolies in
advancing the price of corn to a
figure that prevented the poor
classes purchasing enough for
their needs.
Some time back the Mexican
government, on account of the
famine, removed the duty on
corn from the United States, and
shipments from the States for a
time served to relieve the situa-
ton. Spectators, however, got
hold Of all the corn shipped into
the Puruandias district and at
once advanced the price 100 per
cent.
The natives, many of them ne
ing women and children, ad-
vanced on the corn warehouses
in Il body, crying Pan" (bread),
and assaulted the barricaded
doors, finally breaking them in. .

Of interest to Rice Men.

Among the decisions handed
down by the circuit court of APP
pealS last Tuesday We're two IN
the Frazer G Mason canal cases.
These cases have been generally
watched by rice men and people
are pretty familiar with their
general trend.
In the case of Frazer & Mason
vs.. James Z. Nicholas, the plain
tiffs demanded a certain rent
(oneifth of the crop Tor furnish
ipS water for defendant S crop
for the season of 1899. The de
fenWant made re conventional
demand for damages because Of
the failure Of plaintiffs TO furnish
sufficient Water to make q good
crop. The court in deciding the
case upheld the view of the lower
court that irrigatlng companies
can collect only for actual Dene-
fits conferred on the farmer, and
are also subject to bear their
part of the loss inflicted by par
till faiIuae to furnish water.
The Judgment OF the lower
court was affirmed with costs.
The case Of Frazer & Mason vs..
Henry Nicholas, while based upon
the same sort of deal, took Il diff
ferent course. The court held
that as defendant had made 10
effort to dispose of his rice, but
showed a desire to reach an ami
cable settlement, the writ of
sequestration should be dis
missed, with an allowance to de
fendant for attorney fees. The
500 damages allowed him on
such writ. however, were re-
jected. The lower court was
overruled on question of default,
the circuit court decreeing thata
demand by the defendant in the
presence of one witness was a
legal demand, the defendant him
self being a competent witness.
The judgment of the lower
court excluding damages IN re-
convention because no demand
hsd been shown was also re-
Sed the plaintiffs demand
if renU was rejected and the
Ase remanded to the lower court
.o~der to permit defendant to
blish a reconventional de-
for noncompliance with
Iact.

There is only one matter in the financial
outlook that is causing any anxiety. The
financing of the new British bond issue is
likely to cause some drain on American
gold. although it is not thought that
American investors will care to buy the
bonds to any extent. a few million dol
lars of gold may go out during the next
month or two for this reason.
The following table shows the gains
made in prices during the past week and
also since the beginning of the present
boom seven months ago. The figures are

! he steamer city or Para arrived
in port yesterday morning after a
trip of about ten days from Port
Los Angeles. She brings 1888 Porto
Rican and Italian laborers for planta-
tons here. OF these about $50 are men
while the rest consist of women and
children.
There are about twenty-ffv italians
from New Orleans. They are a better
looking lot than the Porto Ricans,
healthier, cleaner and more thrifty.
They We're kept in quarters separate
from the Porto Ricans during the voy-
age. They are going to work on spreck-
elsville plantation.
The Porto Ricans look a trife better
and cleaner than the former lots which
have come here, but there are a few
cripples and one partially blind man
among them who certainly can not be
worth much as plantation laborer.

Darkness Of Channel Wharf Road.
The absolute absence of light on the
road leading to the Channel wharf is &
constant source of annoyance and even
danger, Whenever a steamer arrives !
in the night and goes to the Channel
wharf, as did the City of Picking recent |
ly, there are always many people who I
either have business on board or who |
desire to see friends among the passen- |
gers, who are foundering around in
the absolute darkness. which reigns
over the road leading to the wharf.
: The 7 road to the wharf -ts a very dir |
fcuit one to find in the darkness, even
for people who have made the journey
before, and as the last part of the road
is surrounded by shiny salt water
marshes It would be very disagreeable
thing for anyone to meander off the }
road, as might easily be done ON one
Of those dark nights, when one can not
see two feet ahead.
It is an especial danger to vehicles,
and even experienced drivers complain
much of the dangerous darkness of the
road. The night when the City of
Peking was in port at least one hack
Is known to have collided with the tim
Der construction just mauka of the
Myrtle boathouse.
How the passengers of the steamers |
and other people who are totally un-
acquainted with that locality manage
to make the trip from and especially |
towards the wharf is a mystery.
The whole thing might be very easily !
remedied if three or four arc lights
were placed at proper places. There is
one especially needed where the road
branches down to the Channel wharf,
just below the Honolulu Iron Works
