A FAMOUS FLORIST DIES
MAN WHO DISCOVERED THE
CALIFORNIA VIOLET.
Joseph Carboni Coming to Visit His
Sister and d. c. Camarinos, Expires
on the Mariposa.

Joseph Carboni died aboard the Mari
posa Friday night of alcoholism. His
remains were buried at Pearl City Sat
urday afternoon.
Carbon had evidently been suffering
from dissipation for he drank CONT
nuously aboard the vessel. The officers
assert that he became so reckless in his
debauch as to drink pure alcohol. He
was put under the care of the ship S
physician and seemed to improve for
several days but suffered a sudden re-
lapse Friday night from which he never
recovered.
ID. c. Camarinos was well acquainted
with the dead man and il was a great
shock to CImarinos when he learned of
mis- friends death. The sister of the
dead man is employed in the Halstead
family and she was notified of the death
of her brother.
Carboni was famous as a florist.
About ten years ago he discovered the
famous long stemmed California violet.
The success of this flower was soon as
sured and for a time, CarbOni was re-
cognized as the leading florist in San
Francisco. He had an establishment
on Kearney street. He was also very
successful in the growing of chrysanthe-
NUNS and was awarded a first prize in
recent floral exhibit.
Business troubles caused him con-
siderable mental worry during the past
two years however, and no doubt, had
something to do with his acquiring the
habit which caused his death. Carboni
was discussing scheme with the trus-
tees of the Sutro estate to come to
these islands and secure quantity of
ornamental palms which were to be
transplanted in the famous Sutro gar
dens in San Francisco. He intended
looking into this matter during his visit
here. He was also to have looked over
the pineapple ranch of Camarinos and
perhaps have taken the management
of that property.

ESTEE QUOTED 70 ESTEE
PEARL HARBOR SUITS ARE UP
AGAIN.
Dunno Claims Defendants Cannot Take
a New Ground-Estee's Work as An
Authority.

The Pearl Harbor condemnation suits
came up again this morning, On argu-
ment of the motion for a Jury trial,
made by the defendants, and If tie mo-
ton by the United States to strike out
altogether the new answers of several
of the defendants, as being not amed-
ed but new answers altogether.
Attorney j. j. Dunno argued the case
for the government. He claimed that
the defendants had no right to take an
altogether new stand in making amend
ed answers. THE original answers
show on tfeir face an admission of
every fact in the complaint except the
valuations of the land" said Dunno,
IAN the statements in a long list of al
legations are categorically admitted un-
der oath to be true, except as to the
statements as to the value of the land in
question. Under the guise of amending
their complaints the defendants now
seek to come into court and try not to
change a form of their document or to
correct an error. but to substitute a
new defense They seek to bring into
contest facts which they admitted un-
der oath to be true"
Dunno proceeded to quote Estee him
self against the proposed proceedings.
He referred the court to volume of
"Estee on Pleadings," a standard au-
thority on code pleadings, in which he
stated principles were laid down that
would prevent the substitution of a new
defense in making an amended answer
Many other authorities were quoted on
the same point.
The decision of the court will have
much effect upon the dura ton of the
trials In the new answers offered,
every allegation of the government is
denied This leaves the way open for
long contest. The government will
have to prove that it needs all the land
asked for, that it has the intention of
going ahead at once with the work of
the naval station, etc. All this was ad-
mitted in the original answers, but now
there may be a contest over these
points. The government has abandon
ed the suit it begun to get lot of the
| property at first stated and admitted tC
be necessary for the naval station, anC
some of the defendants may make ef-
| forts to show that other parts of the
| tract are also unnecessary. If this
| question is opened the trial are likely II
| be long ones as the matter of the pred!
of the station will have to be cope int
| at length.

IT COR MONEY.
But General Crook Enjoyed Joke in
Spite of Expense.

ITO most people the late General
George Crook, the Indian fighter, was a
solemn man, but he loved a practical
joke" said Colonel Joe" Her to a New
York Tribune man. Back i'm the '7O'9
soon after he was made a Brigadier
General and stationed at Omaha, Gem
eral Crook organized a wildcat hunting
party among lot of us, and one moons
light night we started across the pratt
RE from Omaha for the fort. The pan
was to sleep at the fort anu at daylight
start for the wildcats. After we we're
all fast asleep General Crook came
downstairs without any shoes and TOOK
from our rifles the ball cartridges. re-
placing them with blanks. On the way
to the woods the General indicated the
order in which he wished US to fire on
the first wildcat in case we should tree
the beast. We had hardly reached the
woods before General Crook rose in hlS
saddle and said
BY thunder, boys, here's a cat rfght

wagon and bag him'
I'VE were on the ground i'm a twink
ling, and in less time than it takes to
tell it We were blazing away at a mon-
strous big wildcat which was huggins
the limb of the tree. The cat never
stirred as the successive shots were,
fired, and the hunters looked at one
another with open-mouthed astonisha
ment We looked around for General
Crook, and found him behind stump
laughing away to beat the band. Al
| once it flashed on us that he had been
hoaXed. The General had just straight.

joke when the driver, a hired man ar

in the wagon, a double barreled shot
gun, loaded with buckshot. The Gene
eral dldn't see him fire, but he turned
| around just in time to see tufts of fur
and hair fly from the wildcat as IL

"Off went the General into another fe
of laughter But this time the laugh
was on himself, for the hired man had

a beautifully stuffed wildcat complete

quenIly paid the saloon-keeper from

INSTRUCTIONS TO CHAFFEE
On Question of Destruction OF Chinese
Forts, and q Chain of Military Posts.

Washington, April 4.-General Chat
fee has cabled the war department from
Pekin that the military commanders
representing the foreign powers there
are now considering the question of dis
posing of, the Chinese forts and of es-
ta%blishing fortified posts at proper in
tervals along the route from Pekin to
the sea. General Chaffee asked in
structions for his guidance in the con-
ference.
After the subject had been we'll con-
sidered at h White house, as well as
at the state and war departments, the
instructions were cabled to General
Chaffee. The text of these is withheld,
but it is stated that they are drawn
on the lines of the instructions sent to
Mr.. Conger at the time he accepted the
joint agreement under which the nego-
tiations between h ministers at Pekin
were to be conducted.
1t so happened that the reservations
which Mr.. Conger was to mak in that
case are precisely the subjects which
are now before the military command
ers at Pekin; the destruction of the
Chinese Notifications and the provi-
sion of armed international posts along
the route from Pekin to the sea. Cen
eTdl CndTIee Will IdVOr the OlSdTInd-
ment of the forts instead of their de-
struction, but cannot participate in the
establishment of armed posts. He win,
however, remain in the conference ex-
erting his best efforts to ameliorate the
conditions along the lines indicated.
Meanwhile the war department is
pushing it's preparations for the COM
plete evacuation of hin by his forces,
save only the legation guard and it is
now stated that everything will be in
readiness to embark General Chaffee's
army at Taku for Manila on May 30th.
Not a word has been heard from MT.
Rockhin at Pekin for the last three
days. Consequently there is no official
confirmation of the Pekin report that
the Chinese government has finally re-
fused Russia's proposition as to Man
churia.
