recollect In '53-that's a long time ago,
still 1 remember it-that a physician
lived at Cold Springs. He told me that
the next day on the stage The boys
found it out and nearly every miner on
the fiat quit work and went up to the
hotel to see them. Many a miner took
the children and hugged them. You
know in those days a piece of calico
looked very nice to the boys. Gaugh-
ter.) OF course. I was too young to be
affected that way.
you don't want me to say anything
serious tonight / recollect that at the
mining camp / was a part of, we used
to get our mail once in two weeks or
once in four weeks and one of the boys
would go down to pack 1t. That night
the boys would read their own letters
every man was permitted to read his
own first and he did it most religiously
sometimes, and then ne would read
the other boys. You never found a
California boy that didn't have a girl
and you never found a sweet California
girl that did not have somebody to love
her. That's the hope of the young and
the pride of the old. Whenever we
think of the sunshine in all it's glory
we think of California; when we think
of the country where the birds sing,
and the flowers bloom, we think of
California.
81 remember when California was one
great field of wild flowers; it was laden
with the aroma of wild flowers. Not
so now 1t is all fenced off and the
boys and girls have gone away. Cali
fornia is a pretty good place to live in
it may be good place to die In, too
I haven't tried that. We all know that
California has produced as good young
men. and sweet, charming girls, as any
other place on earth Who would have
thought that over here in Honolulu with
a population not equal to that OF OAK
land, you could raise gathering ike
tI,is. Why boy met me awhile ago
and asked me if 1 was going. to see the
Golden Sons of the Native West, but
7 did not believe that. 1t Is. however,
better TO believe too much than not to
believe anything. Whenever you go
hack to California, and am not there
tell them i am coming too.
Judge Estee then told the story OF
tba Frenchman during the Napoleonic
wars who declined promotion, but VINO

was killed at Wagram, but his name

ed to seaboard, transported here and
themselves instead of by another firm.
1t hardly seems probable that this will
go through, on account of the heavy
cost Of the plant which would be neces-
sary for the supply here.
This feature is greater than any lay
man would suppose. The proposed
steamer which the Standard has under
contemplation will cost $3.50, 900 and the
two. one of which will have to. come
around the Horn, will represent more
than a million and a quarter. Added to
this would be the expense of erecting
and maintaining the system of storage
tanks and the pipe lines and docks at
the points where the fuel will be de-
livered. There is an entirely new
feature in the proposed fuel transmits
sion in that the distance is much great
er than fuel oil Is taken at the present
time by water and almost twice as great
as the distance over which oils are
transported in Russia. In Russia the
oils while they are carried for part
OF the way by water, are taken ashore
and handled by rail for the greatest
part OF the route. Fuel oils are con-
sidered the worst phase of the oil bust
ness, and never are shipped when there
Is chance that they may be refined.
While there have been some confer
ences over the oil subject 1t is known
that these have amounted to nothing.
Mr.. Watson of the Standard will call
upon other firms and then win make up
his condition.

GENERAL ALBAN TALKS.
Explains Colombia's Refusal to
 Arbitrate Differences.

&<AhN&G GAkSVS'
 Colon, Dec. 1.-The correspondent here of the Associated Press requested Gen. eral Carlos Alban, Governor of Panama and military commander. of this district to explain Colombia's refusal to accept the conditions of arbitration demanded by Venezuela. General Alban replied In the following terms:
 General Castro President of Venezue- la Is the principal factor in the colom- bian revolution. Since the beginning or the war he has furnished the revolu- tionists with arms and ammunition. Castro cancelled the exequateurs of several Colombian consuls in Venezuela and insultingly treated Senor Rico, the Colombian minister at Caracas. Castro now pretends to demand satisfaction from Colombia, asking her to accept Chilss offer of mediation. For the above expressed reasons Colombia severed dip- lomatic relations with Venezuela"
 General Alban added: T would be glad if the press would give publicity to the recent conduct of President Regalado Of Salvador, who gives the Colombian revo- lutionists the steamer Ibis and also sup piled them with arms and ammunition, and this, notwithstanding the formal pro- tests of the consuls."
 General AIban places no confidence in the reported capture of Rio Hiacha by General Uribe-Uribe. Alban says the Colombian Government has 6o.0O0 men un- der arms.
 A beat has just arrived here from Playa Donna, distant less than one mile from Nombre de Dios, where the Colonn- bian conservative and liberal forces fought an engagement last Friday. She brings a few sick government soldiers. The troops wounded in last weeks en- gagement have been left at Nombre de Dios. All Americans connected with the manganese mine at that place have ar- rived at Colon. They recognize that their lives would have been endangered if they remained at Nombre de Dios. Achievements are being sent to Playa Donna from Colon. The Colombian gum boat General Pinzon was seen this morn ing off Playa Donna. Foreigners there are claiming protection from the Ameri- can and British consulates here.

CHILE AND ARGENTINE.
Both Nations are Buckling on Their
 Armor.

Buenos Ayres, Dec. 1T, via Galveston. Tex, Dec. 1.-The status of the Argen- tine-Chilean question has not changed. Senor Portela. the Argentine Minister at Santiago de Chile, will today hand to the Chilean Government the reply of Ar gentina to Chile's last test note. Official circles hold to the belief that satisfac- tory solution of the questions in dispute will not be long in presenting itself. The local news agency says it considers the negotiations already have passed their most delicate stage It has been shown that the cause for war does not exist though there may in some quarters exist a desire to provoke war.
 Both countries, however. are actively preparing for an armed struggle. They are at the present moment in the state which immediately precedes war and which is having disastrous effect on the national finances.
 decree just issued invites officers of the national guard to join the army re- serves which have been mobiliZed.
 The work of arming the Argentine transports for war service has begun. Dispatches received here from Santiago say a prominent official there has de- clared to his friends that the basis for pacific and honorable arrangement be- tween Chile and Argentina will be arrived at shortly, leaving the details to be set tied later
 According to The Tiempo. no arrange ment of the existing difficulties is possi- ble If Chile refuses to accept the modifi- cations suggested by Argentina to the two important paragraphs in the original Chilean note.
 The railroads of the country have placed 95, ,OeO tons of coal at the disposal of the Government. They have also of fered to provide transportation facilities for 70 OOO men.
 The Diario publishes telegram from London to the effect that the British Government has addressed a telegraphic communication to the Chilean and the Argentina Governments offering its good offices to bring about a settlement of all existing difficulties between the two coun- tries. The British Government adds that it takes this step at the instance of Chile.
 Telegrams received here from Santiago de Chile affirm that a great majority of the members of the Chilean Congress are in favor of prompt and peaceful settle ment.

 FIGHT.
The Former Has Refused to Accept Chile's 0ffer of Mediation and Hostilities May
 Soon Begin.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Semi. official ad- vice received here indicate that active hostilities are about to begin between Colombia and Venezuela. The delay In proceeding to extremes has been largely caused by the lack of a suitable stock of arms and ammunition by the Colombian Government. This is about to be remedied. The news that comes today is to the effect that the British steamer Banrig, which recently excited suspicion by loading a cargo of arms in European waters, supposedly intended for the Boers in South Africa, really was char tered by the Colombian Government. She Is now very near Colon and the advtces are to the effect that when her cargo IS distributed among the Colombian troops hostilities will begin between Colombia and Venezuela.
