new Members.
South Morgantown has made an
other final decision which is about an
even dozen times that they have
taken this action. They held a
council meeting on Monday night and
did some resoluting looking toward
the contesting Of the new city char.
ter.
A sensat ional resolution branding
Layton Coombs as traitor was
passed. This was done OH account of
Coombs action in leaving the council
and going into the city body. Reso-
buttons were passed directing the
treasurer TO hold on to all money in
his possession and not to turn it over
to Morgantown.
DR.. S. S. Wade was appointed re-
corder to fill the vacancy created by
Mr.. Coombs withdrawal and r. FL.
Domain was appointed on the council.
A red hot meeting was held and the
Intention was firmly expressed to fight
the city charter to the last ditch.
Another meeting will be held shortly
and the council will act as if nothing
had happened to prevent them from
going ahead.
All contractors who have contracts
over there were notified that they
must deal with the South Morgan
gantown council and not with the
Morgantown body. What the upshot
of this new action will be remains TO
be seen.
One explanation Of the action may
be found in personal which appeared
in this paper few days ago which
was IS follows:
"Attorney Charles A. Goodwin has
returned home after an absence OF
several weeks"

BURIED ALIVE.
Lieutenant Brewer of the 27th
Volunteers

Capt. Casteel's old Regiment Met A
Horrible Fate Murder OF an Engi-
aeer Revealed his Fate Murderers
In Custody aud VIII be Executed ms
soon as Caught.
The following special from Manila
has been received here;
An idea of the barharous character
aud hideous practices Of some of the
tribes that inhahit the Philippines
may be gained from the horrible death
which was inflicted on Second Lieut.
enant Brewer Of the Twenty
infantry.
Lieutenant Brewers death was an
exhibition of atrocity the like of
which would be hard to duplicate any
where but in the orient Lieutenant
Brewer and private Of the regiment
were on their way to Manila bearing
report TO headquarters there. Brew
er's escort was shot. Brewer himself
was carried away and put to death by
starvation = having, in fact, been
buried TO his neck with a dish of food
near his face, but beyond his reach.
When his body was exhumed, it was
found that his hands had been bound
to his sides and his feet tied together
In this awful position. with deaths
torture aggravated by the Sight Of
food, he Wds left to starye.
The facts surrounding the death of
Lieutenant Brewer were learned
through the confession OF one of the
men arrested for the murder Of Engi-
neer Wilson, another American officer
who had been murdered and robbed
Mr. Wilson, and incidentally confess
ed the murder Of Lieutenant Brewer.
The confession duplicates several 9th
er persons, and the date fixed for the
execution Of these men has been post
poned IN the hope that the others may
be apprehended.
Captain d. T. e. Casteel of this
place was member of the 9th regi-
ment and he was asked about the
above. He stated that he had heard
nothing of the circumstances except
that Lieutenant Brewer had disap-
peared. II was thought at the time
that he had been killed at once. The
mode Of punishment melted out To
him has been used frequently toward
natives but never so far as he had
heard toward Americans.
Mr.. Wilson was an Englishman
He had charge OF the city water works
and was murdered as he was on his
way out to the water works. Capt.
Casteel was near at the time and saw
the murderers who were promptly ar
rested. Had his regiment not return
ed to che states when 1t did he would
have had charge Of the court which
tried them. The men convicted were
citizens of the town and when the
deed was committed they were aDpar-
emily engaged in working in the rice
fields along the road.
The clearing up of the mystery sur
rounding the fate of Lieutenant
Brewer solves one Of the many strange
things that have happened since the
troops entered the islands.

ANOTHER PEST ARRIVES.

If the belief of George Carter and
others that pair of Belgian hares
have been struggled into Honolulu is
correct, the sooner the pests are ferret
ed out and their owner arrested, the
better 1t will be for the cane industry OF
Oahu.
Belgian hares multiply with a rapid
ity unknown to any other form of ami
NAL life. They live an vegetables, ten
der plants and particularly upon sugar
cane. pair of these hares let loose
on Oahu would compel every owner OF
a truck farm or a cane field to enclose
it with a rabbit-proof fence. The I'M
dergrOwth of forests, to be preserved
would need a similar safeguard. Prob
ably If the existing pair of Belgian
hares We're given range, the people OF
Oahu. couple of years hence, would
be put to a minimum expense of S100, 900
which is a rather high price to pay for
rabbit folk.
The Territorial law designed for the
protection of these Islands from the
scourge which has done SO much harm
to Australia fits the present smuggling
case and we hope that it will be applied

A Hot Weather Loss.

Hot weather such as the whole
country has been experiencing, means
n daily loss of hundreds or thousands
of dollars to manufacturers of cigars
and cigarettes, said a North Carolina
tobacco man the other day. Even con-
firmed smokers cut their allowance IN
two during hot weather. and the ordi-
nary man, who smokes two or three
cigars a day. stops almost altogether
The effect on the cigarette smoker Is
not so great, and the men who cnew
tobacco seem to enjoy that form of the
weed as much when the thermometer
is 95 as when it is at So degrees. The
daily sales of tobacco. largely IN the
form of cigars, in the country east OF
the Mississippi, reach about 81 900 600.

Where They Live on Fish.

The city of Cebu has something like
100000 population. but this population
is largely made up of people who are
huddled together in native huts,' said
Captain Going, of the Forty fourth,
just back from service in the Philip
pines the other day. They live year
in and year out on rice and corn.
There is no hunting, but thousands of
small fish, less than six inches long,
are caught and dried for local con-
sumption. We had a contract with an
old man who controls the fishing at
Dumanjug, to furnish us with all the
big fish he might catch. Once in two
or three weeks he would bring us a
fish a foot long, but such are very rare
The natives, even of the lowest classes,
are extremely fond of cock fighting.
They arm the birds with saber gafs,
and nothing is regarded as a fight un-
less both birds are killed, the money,
of course, being awarded to the back
ers of the bird that survives the long
er. A native who is able to get as
much as so cents knows no more de-
lightfnl way to spend it than to wager
1t on the outcome of a cock fight"

How He Worked the Senator.

standing in the lobby of his hotel the
other day when Nat Cureton, of Louis

pondent, Cureton is a constituent OF
the Senator's, so the latter felt com
PEELED to show some interest. He asked
where Cureton was going. Home,
came the laconic reply. Then a sud
den idea seemed to strike the traveller,
and he turned to the Senator, saying:
IT'S a shame to go home without tax
ing some little present to your name
sake, Senator" Why, have you got a
child named after me?" asked the SEN
ator. his face beaming. Sure thing.

and brought out a shiny SIS gold piece
and gave 1t to Cureton. Il forgot to

every paper where the opportunity for
him to say what. he thought 81, public
questions was not debarred by the pres
ence of some other mans name at the
head. of the editorial columns!
| In answer to the inquiry whether the
editor of the Advertiser or the iAdyer-
| tiser itself is in favor of the indiscrim-
mate admission of Chinese to the
United States, we say: BY no means!
The effect of such a course would be
to submerge American industry. What
we propose and hope to see accom-
| plished is the admission of a given
number of Chinese per annum for a
given number of years, under a proviso
that they shall not be permitted to en-
gage in the trades. 1t is evident all
over the country that more workers are
needed in the harvest fields. planta-
lions, mines. fruit farms and in private
households: and as there are few to
be had who, as a class, are so faithful
industrious and obliging, and so little
affected by politics and strikes as the
Chinese, we hold that they should be
let in to the limit of the demand If
desired the exclusion law might pro-
vide for their deportation when the
necessity for it should arise; and a
maximum limit of their stay under the
proposed new law should be fixed so
that their residence in the country
would not partake of the natuCe of a
vested right.
We emphasize the belief that the
Chinese In the United States, including.
o. course Hawaii. should be excluded
from the sphere Of skilled labor We
are equally emphatic In the statement
that they are needed in the sphere Of
unskilled labor. The views of the late
c. F. Huntington on this point are, we
believe, held by most thoughtful public
men in the West excepting those whom
politics or trade deter from yoicing the
sentiments which must naturally ap-
peal to them.
The Advertiser would like to hear
from Mr.. Johnson again in answer to
the inquiry if he does not think more
Chinese would be useful to Hawaii in
the cane fields; and if it would not
please him to see the Chinese carpen-
tiers, plumbers, printers, painters, pa
perhangers, horse-shoers, bricklayers,
masons. etcetera, now in Honolulu,
compelled. by the closing of the trades
to such people, to seek a livelihood on
plantations or truck farms?

Editor Advertiser: Would you dare to
write an editorial such as appears in this

the letting down of the bars that at
present keep out the Chinese hordes, If
you were employed in your old position
on the San Francisco Chronicle7 Can It
be possible that the sentiments you e1-
press this morning are your own, or are
you owned body and soul by the planter
interests. and so compelled to write any
thing they dictate? Your paper lately
has become so un-American that many
of your subscribers, myself included,
would stop reading it were 1t not that
the other papers are so sckening in
their cant on Americanism as to forbid
any really intelligent man subscribing
for them. Please state whether you
favor an indscriminate admission Of
Chinese into the United States or some
modified form of admission. Hoping you
