FUTURE Of AGU|NALDD
MAY GET AN OFFICE FROM THE
GOVERNMENT.
If he has Violated Rules of War and
Remains Hostile he VIII be Court
Martialled.

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-Aguinal-
do will not be eXiled to the Island of
Guam. There is nothing now known to
the administration officials which would
debar him from holding office in the
Philippines if he accepts the American
amnesty under the Government terms.
The War Department cabled to Cen
eral Macarthur today for the full rec
ord of Aguinaldo and his case will not
be finally determined until that record
shall arrive
The general impression so far receiv-
ed from the island is that he has not
been guilty of any barbarism which
would initiate against his being ex-
tended full amnesty.
So far as the administrations mind
is concerned today, it will depend upon
Aguinaldo himself whether he shall
elect to play in the role of martyr, be
shipped to the United States penal set
tlement or accept the situation and be
sworn to fealty to the United States
flag.

WILL DISREGARD INVOICE
DUTY ON SUGAR BAGS WILL BE
INCREASED.
Collector of Customs Will Take Other
Evidence of the Market Value in the
Country of Origin.

Invoice prices for sugar bags import
ed into Hawaii, are TO be disregarded
by the collector OF customs hereafter
in appraising for customs purposes The
collector and appraiser will hereafter
appraise them at what they believe
is there market value in the country of
origin as shown by other evidence than
the consular invoice, or by evidence in
addition to the consular invoices.
This action is taken under the law
directing that the appraisement shall
be at the market value, and the reg
ulations showing what evidence may
be taken in ascertaining this value.
The expectation is that this action
will increase the appraised value of the
sugar bags imported and thereby in
crease the duty collected.
1t is said among customs brokers and
importers that if the appraised value
is increased above the invoice price
appeals will be taken to the treasury
department and to the Board of General
Appraisers.
Even a very slight increase in the
amount of duty paid on each bale of
bags would amount to a great deal tC
the plantations, as a crop of 300 900 tons
of sugar requires approximately 5000,
900 bags to market it.
The source of supply is India by way
of Hongkong and other Chinese ports
The question of duties is a very inn
portant one.

THOUGHT We HAD PLAGUE.J JUDGE ESTEE AND INNH.
STEAMERS SCARED INCOMING
PASSENGERS.
People on Mouna Loa Thought Homo
lulu was in Quarantine this Morning.
Did not Want to Land.

There was a crowd of badly scared
people on the steamer Mauna Loa this
morning just before she entered port,
The vessel was not attacked by whales
nor did she spring leak. The passen-
gers thought for a while that Homo
lulu was once again in the grasp of the
plague and for nearly an hour every
body passed very disagreeable time
The Mauna Loa came up from Ha-
waii and Maui ports with a good sized
passenger list. Oahu was sighted about
day break and about 6 o'clock the YES
sci came along toward the harbor Sud
denly some body espied three steamers
lying at the mouth of the harbOr. They
We're two island boats and an ocean
liner.
Had the passengers but known it the
vessels were the Doric which was in
quarantine outside, the disabled Helene
and the steamer Kaiulani which had
towed the Helene from Hilo. But the
passengers had no means of ascer-
tanning the cause for the vessels lying
outside There was no other
means of determining except by conjec-
ture. Immediately some body "cOnjec-
tured" the plague. Honolulu had had
one case last week, there must be more.
Yes! it was the plague and the vessels
were lying outside of the quarantined
port.
Immediately there was howl of dis
may. People who had business of
Importance in Honolulu, at once forgot
all about their business, and tried to
scheme how they could avoid going in
to the infected port
Say Mr.. Purser" they appealed to
Mr.. SimersOn please don't take us in
there. Put up on the Doric and let
some other boat take us off. Only don't
take us into Honolulu"
Several of the passengers insisted up
on the boats being lowered and the
crowd transferred to the big vessel or
else to the smaller island steamers.
Captain Simerson is not veteran for
nothing however and he told the peo-
pie to calm themselves.
| "Wait" he said, there may not be
any plague in Honolulu. The town may
not be in quarantine after all. Those
boats may be out there for some other
| reason"
| The captain very naturally reasoned
| that as it was quite early in the morn
ing the quarantine officer had not pass
ed the Doric., When the Mauna Loa
came near the captain perceived the
yellow flag flying from the masthead of
| passengers that it was not Honolulu al
! all that was in quarantine but the big
steamship. The passengers forgot theil
desire to board the big vessel and want
ed to come straight into Honolulu The
/ Mauna LOa docked shortly before
| o'clock and the crowd wasted no time
in losing itself in the supposed infect
| ed plague city.

BIG ARMY SCANDALS.
CAPTAIN FREDERICK j. BARROWS
ARRESTED.
Also Seven Commissary Sergeants, a
number of Civilians Clerks and an
Army Contractor-Great Excitement.

MANILA, March 91.-Interest in the
capture and fate of Aguinaldo is we'll
night oVershadowed in Manila by SEN
sational developments, present and
prospective of frauds in the Commits
sary Department. How widely these
extend has not yet been ascertained,
but enough is already known to justify
the belief that they are far-reaching
1t is understood that prominent officers
of the United States army may be ar
rested.
Those who have already been placed
under arrest are Captain Frederick j.
Barrows of the Thirtieth Volunteer In
fantry, Quartermaster of the Depart
ment of Southern Luzon together with
seven commissary sergeants, several
civilian clerks, a prominent Govern
ment contractor the assistant manager
of the Hotel Oriente, the proprietors OF
three of the largest bakeries in Ma
Mia, a number of storekeepers and
other persons. The investigation has
scarcely begun, but thousands of sacks
of flour, a quantity of bacon and wa
gOn loads of other goods all bearing gov
ernment marks have been found in the
possession of unauthorized persons.
1t is alleged that the contractor in
person who has been doing a business
approXimating 100000 a month, has
spent huge sums in entertaining Off
GERS. A prominent COmmissary officer
is accused of leading a scandalously
immoral life. 1t is asserted that large
quantities of stores have been lost on
stolen in transit, and also that there is
shortage in the commssary depot.
New scandals are developed daily.
Illicit transactions have been tracked
back to June, 1900, and it probable that
there are others of earlier date. The
eXhorbitant tariff on provisions makes
the surreptious sales of commissary
supplies immensely profitable.

Sixth Volunteer infantry is prosecuting

and British Capture Prisoners and
Twenty eight Wagons.

PARIS March 3d. have learned
from the most reliable source that Pre-
sident Kruger and his encourage look
upon the recent negotiations between
Lord Kitchener ana General Botha in
the following light:
The negotiations are Of English, not
Boer origin. General Botha gave Lord
Kitchener to understand at the meet
ing at Middleburg that it would be use
less for him to recommend any terms
of settlement to the Boer Executive
which did not offer some form of in
dependence to the Transvaal. This in
dependence might embarrass the parti-
ton Of the Transvaal, which would give
along with the country intervening be-
tween Johannesburg and Mafeking,
leaving the territory to the east and
north to the Beers; that the same re-
lationship should exist between the Re
public and Great Britain with regard
to foreign affairs as obtained under
the convention of 1884; the farmers to
be indemnified for the burning of their
homes and other injuries to property
resulting from legitimate warfare; pay
ment to be made either direct by Eng
land or out of the Rand mines of the
debts of the Government of the Re
public, and full amnesty for all the
Cape Colony and Natal citizens who
fought for the Boer cause.

NAVAL SLIPS ACCEPTED.
Contractor Andrew McNally Finishes
a Good Job.

Naval slips are at last completed. An
drew McNally who has had charge Of
this work for the California ConStruc-
tion Company has finished the contract
and the work has been accepted by the
naval representatives. The navy peo-
pie expressed themselves as deligh hted
with the work which Mr.. McNally per-
formed. He dredged the slips much
deeper than the contract required and
the work was pushed to a speedy con-
clusion when he took charge. The con-
tract called for a depth of 2SlR feet but
Mr.. McNally dredged to a depth of
over 80 feet so that if any fault is to
be found with the slips it will not be
through any negligence upon his part.
1t is understood that the dredging ap-
paratus and small railway which was
utilized to have the debris away has
been sold. Mr.. McNally will leave for
the Coast within a few days as his COM
pany has the construction of the new
government breakwater at San Pedro,
Los Angeles county, California, and
he will have look after the work at that
place.

ALUM BAKING POWDERS

The report of the U. S. Senate Com
mittee on Manufactures upon the sub
ject of food adulteration and food
frauds has awakened great interest
throughout the country.
If there could be published a list of
the names of all articles of food found
by the Committee to be adulterated or
made from injurious ingredients, it
would be of inestimable value to the
public.
The recommendations of the commit
tee that the sale of alum baking pow

A Pretty Good Days Work.

If anyone asks YOU if gold mining in
WaterVille pays YOU just send them To
jim Zero. He has been doing con
siderable thinking since his hens pick
ed the little yellow pebbles and his
thoughts are very pleasant ones too
Early. yesterday morning. he should
cred pick and shovel and with pan
took himself to the southeast corner
Of his lot on Spruce street ana went
to work. He kept il up all DAY ana
when he balanced up at night he con
cluded that ne was ahead Of the game
by about SIS. He says he found about
20 sold nuggets in that common, every
day, Waterville gravel and only had to
so down about two feet to do it. or
course mining IL not so Very easy at
this season but at the rate Of SIS per
day a man can stand it for a while
anyway and as soon as the frost is
out of the ground Mr.. Zero will be en-
larging his hole.
Now of course there are skeptics in
this matter as in all 9th ars. but while
Mr.. Zero is taking out a few dollars he
can afford to let EN- laugh all they
want to. At any rate he is not going
