July 1, 1902. has been issued by the var
Department. The great number of in
quiries addressed TO the War Depart
ment from all parts OF the United States
for information regarding the Philippine
Islands has indicated that a printed
compendium OF such information would
be practically useful 10 the American
people
The present work is designed TO fur
nish such information The standard lit
erature relating 70 the Philippines al
the time OF American occupation was
generally confined TO books in Spanish.

OF ancient date. The English books were
usually TRANSACTIONS, trade statistics, and
consular reports. The photographic data
contained in Spanish aud English charts
and instructions. and United States com
pilations from the same. were limited TO
the requirements OF navigation only. In
the compilations Of this work not only
the existing literature but all available
>
officers, giving the observations and re-
suits Of campaigns. expeditions. and rec
onnoissances, have been consulted. When
this data was collected by provinces IL
was submitted 10 officers returning from
the Philippine Islands to make correc-
tiOns and additions from their personal
knowledge and experience. Their replies
we're universally commendatory Of the
character and scope of the work and OF
e.
instances their replies were accompanied
by material which was incorporated in
the text. One OF the features Of the work
Is the spelling and pronunciation Of geo

valuable piece OF work

If Admiral Sampson was in command
at the battle of Santiago then General
Sheridan was in command at Cedar
Creek when Early rushed the sleeping
camp, and should have the responsible
ity of defeat, which history has given
to ,his subordinate. That he was al
Winchester, twenty miles away, when
the Federal rout occurred, would not,
according to the Sampson idea. relieve
him from the onus of the failure which
he afterward repaired. By the same
token the command at Fort Donelson
was not Grants, but Halleck's, for the
latter had marked out the campaign at
Washington, and ought to have had the
credit for it's triumphant close.

We doubt that any policy save the

that under local self-government they

connected with the general telephone

.THOS. EVANS IN
TOBACCO TRADE
Former HonoIulan Operating in
the Plug Article in
Manila.

| Thomas Evans, who was for many
years a resident of Honolulu, and who
has in the past three years achieved
more or less notoriety In Manila. Hong
kong and the State of Connecticut. is
again engineering the promotion of a
company to recoup his fortune. This
time he is centering his plans in plug
tobacco company. The Manila American
of December contains the following
statement about the company:
1.-The first genuine effort to manufac-
ture plug tobacco Manila, or, for that
matter in the Orient, upon a scale OF
! any magnitude, is that of the Manila To-
bacco Company. or which MIR. Thomas
Evans is the :nspirer and owner. The
works are located on Echague del Rosa
rio, at its junction with Gale General
Solano, San Miguel, where nearly four
hundred people ale already employed in
this new and promising industry. The
present output of Mr.. Evans factory Is
Loco pounds of plug tobacco a day,
though the capacity of the machinery
now in position is about 5000 pounds.
which may be indefinitely increased
should the traffic ~emand it, The first
sales were made yesterday, and so a new
industry was launched to swell the indus
trial and commercial impor lance of Ma
MIA. All plug tobacco heretofore used
and sold in these islands was imported,
on the mistaken theory that Philippine
tobacco was not adapted to the manu-
facture of the plug. This has now been
disproved, the product of the Manila
Tobacco Company being the equal in ev-
cry way of the very highest grade of
plug tobacco from the States Compared
with them in color, feature or flavor. h
is found imposs bic to discover differ
ence. yet the Manila product can be sold
at a materially lower figure.
Mr. Evans factory has the whole of
the Orient as it's field of operations, and |
the prospects are that a tremendous
business will result. The army is a large
of plug tobacco and the War
will find it to it's advantage |
to give the insular product consideration, /
In future purchases, which in itself will /
mean a very handsome trade
There is every reason to believe that |
this business will grow into very large |
especially now that these |
may be sent into the Unit
ID States free of duty. Tobacco and Ia
Dor. the main elements in the manufac-
ure, are both infinitely cheaper here
han they are in the United States. |
American machinery of a costly and
powerful character Is used and the |
work is directed by skilful and expert !
men. Success to the Manila Tobacco
company and all enterprises calculated
o upbuld Manila and the Philippines"

now to union with America. This is 4
marked change of sentiment since th.r-
ty years ago when the people there
ratified President Grants plan of pur-
chase. Rumor says that the Danish
colonial officials have worked up a 10y
alist feeling in their part of the West
Indies, using the unfortunate aspects
OF American rule in Porto Rico to cause
prejudice. 1t cannot be said. however.
that the protests of the st. Thomas
people have had much effect at Copen-
hagen.

When wireless telegraphy gets in

announcement that a stranger is now
on his way here to qualify for the
Governorship, though he takes pains to
warn any local aspirants for the place
that If the governorship goes to any

It does not escape notice that the jap
anesei are among the most eager and
numerous contributors to the Mckin-
ley fund. Mr.. c. NJ. Cooke now reports
khe fifth list with Japanese signers.
Many of these people can i'll afford
even en- outlay of fifty cents. but they
give cheerfully and in the aggregate
give much. The example is one that
ought not TO thrown away upon the
resident Chinese and Hawaiians and
even upon the white men.

FAKE HAIR PREPARATIONS
Do Hair No Good. But Often Cause It

Do Hair No Good, But Often Cause It
to Fall Out.
Many hair preparations are fake"
because they are merely scalp irritants.
They often cause a dryness, making the
hair brittle. and. finally. lifeless. Dam
druff Is the cause of all trouble with
hair. 1t Is a germ disease. The germ
makes cuticle scales as 1t digs to the
root of the hair. where II destroys the
hairs vitality. causing the hair to fall
out. To cure dandruff. the germ must
be killed. Destroy the cause. you re-
move the effect" Nembro's Herpicide
Is the only hair preparation that kills
the dandruff germ. thereby leaving the
hair to grow luxuriantly.

Little has been heard of late about
the plan to enlist a battalion Of Ha-
waiians for the army. Doubtless If Del
esate Wilcox should move, such
measure, having as it would the favor
OF General Breckenridge. could be car
ried through. A chance in the navy Is
opening up, but not few Hawaiians
prefer the military career.
