Result.
Another disgracafnl fight crowned
the efforts OF the Portuguese mis-.
sionaries, who invade the most
populous Catholic district Of
Punch bowl on Thursday evenings,
and with slurs aud calumnies as
sail the dearest religious beliefs OF
the residents OF that dis riot About
8 o'clock last night the Rev. Mr..
Spares, accompanied by hall doz
en- men and as many women, made
his appearance on the corner OF
Punchbowl and Kinau streets, and
took a position about 10 feet from
the entrance Of the Puuchbowl
saloon.
A hand organ had been brought
along by the would.be missionaries,
AID 10 a few minutes the whole OF
Punchbowl was awakened by the
most astounding discord ever heard
in that district. The little band Of
preachers was struggling bravely
along with aCentral Union hymn,
translated in Portuguese, when out
OF the darkness came the sounds OF
mighty chorus OF so voices or
more, singing to the accompaniment
Of guitars and mandolins the we'll
known tomi.tomi
The evaugelists were visibly be-
coming very nervous but kept brave
ly on in their fight against Catholi-
cism. While the Rev. Mr. Silva, OF
Maui, was speaking, however, the
crowd apparently became excited.
The INDEPENDENT man, who happen
cd to be along at the time, could
not understand what was said, but
by the actions Of the crowd, it was
evident that the Rev. speaker was
attacking the most cherished senti-
ments and religious ideas OF the
Catholics.
A small boy caused the storm to
burst in all it's fury. Accidently
he fell or was pushed against one OF
the missionary party; this big burly
fellow, probably excited aud angry
at the failure OF their { If )rts turned
around aud taking hold OF the boy
was preparing to beat him, when
several msn present interiersd with
the result that general fight en-
sued.
After the disgracelul disturbance
had been brought to close the
Rev. Mr. soares approached q
group of men aud apolog'z ID for
what had taken place. With a logic,
very strange for man Of his sup
posed intelligence and education
he explained that he did not wan,
to antagonizs the Roman Catholics
who live there, but wanted tc
eyangeliz, and bring to God the
infdels. Strange reasoning
The Roman Catholics, as far al
we know, are supposed to bt
Christians, and proselyting anon
them will bring about no other re-
suits but i'll feelings aud continus
disturbances. The Rev. gentleman
chooses for his preaching a blocl
ex ,lusively composed OF good ano
true Catholics They Live there il
houses which they have built; some
OF them in houses in which they
we're born; they pay their taxes, ar,
law abiding citizsns and believ'
that something ought to be don,
by the authorities to prevent en-,
further disturbances in their dis
trict. The fact that, after arriving
here as immigrants, those people
have been so thrifty and laboriou
that today they own the places il
which they are living and in which
they are raising families Of futur
u,eful citizens ought to demonstrate
eloquently enough that they ar

CUBA HAS SENT NO WORD.
No Official Attention Paid to General
Bragg's Alleged Remarks

Up to this time the sighting utterances In
regard to the Cubans attributed to General
Bragg, United States consul general at Ha-
vana, have not been officially brought to
the attention of the State Department. Nor
has Mr.. Quesada, Cuban minister at Wash
ington, received any Instructions from his
government as to the steps he shall take
in the matter. The published statements
from General Bragg somewhat amending
the language in which the original utter
ance was couched, are not regarded here
as Affecting the merits of the proposition In
any material respect.
1t Is still an open question whether the
State Department will, though contrary to
general usage, take the initiative in the
matter, or whether Mr.. Quesada, In lieu of
instructions from his government, and, act

OFFICIALS MORE HOPEFUL
Have Changed Method Of Procedure in
Gaynor-Greene Case.

The officials here who are seeking to pro-
cure the extraditiOn to this country Of
Greene and Gaynor are now feeling more
confidence in the success Of their efforts
The reason for their optimism is a change
in the method of procedure which they
have arrived at, which is expected to re-
lieve the Canadian extradition officials and
courts from a decision Of the question as
to whether or not the failure of the indict-
ment brought by the Georgia grand jury
against the refugees to correspond precise
ly with any of the crimes named in the
treaty as extraditable is fatal to the eff
forts to secure the extradition.
Now the prosecuting counsel have framed
their application for the extradition of the
men precisely in accordance with the lam
done. although the offense was described
in the Georgia indictment as conspiracy,
and consequently different charge on the
ground that the language Of the treaty rel
alive to receiving any money. valuable Sc
curtty or other property knowing the same
to have been embezzled. stolen or fraud,-
lently obtained" actually fitted the offense
of which the men are said to have been
guilty. 1t is expected that the Canadian
court will thus be relieved of the necessity
of ruling upon the objection made by the
DEFENDANTS, that the crime charged in the
indictment does not correspond with the
treaty. In that case the court would sim
ply be required to decide whether or not q
prima facie case of receiving stolen mon
eys mad been made out against Gaynor and

this will be established
