Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
SAN JUAN, p r., February IL, 1903
To DR.. ]. Walter Fewkes of the bureau Of
ethnology Of the Smithsonian Institute OF
Washington, D. c., belongs the honor of be-
ing the first scientist to exhume a prehis-
toric skull in Porto Rico and of making
other valuable discoveries. DR.. Fewkes to-
day shipped to Washington eleven boxes OF
curios, including hatchets, pottery, idols
and other rare relics. He returned few
days ago to San Juan from an island trip
which was begun last November. OF his
remarkable finds he says:
While on a trip into the interior of the
island, near Utuado, 1 noticed what
thought was a bone sticking out of the dirt
and which had been exposed by the road
building 1 proceeded to make a further
investigation, and hit upon what from my
standpoint was a veritable gold mine; for
my suppostion was right 1t was bone.
But that was the least part of the dis
ccvery. 1t was simply the index.
An Interesting Find.

ing discoveries galore. had struck upon
a place where the prehistoric men had bur-
led their dead, held thej- raortuary dances
and worshipped their Idols.

on the sides of them. This space where 1
made the discovery was clearly marked out,
for all around the Clearing were stones
marking the boundary of the dancing place.
lat about the middle of the outside of the
opening l found the spot where there was
formerly an idol This idol has disappear
ed, and thus far L have not been able to
trace it.
Around the sides of this open space are
the mounds. To the casual observer these
are quite natural elevations OF earth, but
detected that they were artificial. Assoc
ciating the open space with these artificial
mounds L started an investigation which
resulted in my finding the first skull of pre-
historic man of Porto Rico.
More Skeletons Brought to Light.
Further investigation brought to light
more skeletons, the majority of which were
badly decayed, but two were in fine
state of preservation. They were found
five feet under ground.

f1attened at the forehead by artificial
means probably by heavy compression dur

GIVEN FREEDOM
He STOLE MORE
DAVID PIIwI, WHO WAS ALLOW
ED TO GO UNDER SUSPENDED
SENTENCE GETS THE LIMIT.

David Piiwi convicted of larceny in
the second degree at the last term of
the first circuit court and given
chance to go free and reform, got the
limit sentence this morning from Judge
De Bolt, for David and utterly failed
to reform. In fact he made use of his
liberty to go and sin some more, and
when his case was called this morning
the prior conviction, instead of being
dropped as is usual in cases of suspend
ed sentence, was revived, and Piiwi
will break rock for two years.
Piiwi pleaded guilty at the last term.
He appeared to be very penitent and
promised to reform if given a chance,
and sentence was suspended Had
Piiwi shown up in court this morning
with no other charge against him, the
case would have been stricken from the
calendar and that would have been the
end of it. The understanding in cases
of suspended sentence is that If the
defendant doesn't be good, the sentence
may be imposed at any time. Judge
De Bolt was informed by Attorney Cen
eral Andrews that Piiwi was in the tolls
for another offense.
you are one of the young men who
were going to REFORM" said Judge De
Bolt, land were given an opportunity
at the last term of the court. You do
not seem to have taken advantage of
the chance given you, but instead have
committed new crimes" A sentenceof
two years at hard labor was imposed,
and the new cases against Piiwi will
probably be dropped He is said to
have stolen several more bicycles since
being allowed to go free last term.

ANOTHER BOAT
IS OVERDUE
CAPTAIN GEORGE PILTz OF THE
TwALANI CONSIDERABLY WOR-
RTED OVER HIS BROTHER.

Another vessel that Is well known in
this port is overdue. She is not bound
for Honolulu but she has been to this
port before and her captain is well
known to people in Honolulu She is
the schooner Robert Searles, Captain
John Piltz. According to the last ad-
vices the vessel was out SO days from
Haiphong China for Port Townsend.
Captain George Piltz the master Of
the island steamer Iwalani is consider
ably worried over the Robert Scales.
The last advices he had received on the
subject were up to January 16. At
that time the vessel was out S5 days
Four days later news has been re-
ceived from the Coast and up to jan
uary 20 nothing had been heard from
the schooner.
The vessel is making an exceedingly
long passage for this time of the
year. 1t is of course possible that she
may have encountered Gains or else
been driven by adverse winds far out or
her course. Captain Piltz stated this
morning that he expected to. hear of
the vessel being placed on the overdue
list as she was considerably over the
usual time that is required for such a
voyage. Captain John Piltz of the
Searles is a member of the famous
family of Piltzes practically all of the
sons of which are masters of vessels.
Two of the brothers are in this port,

EMBEZLLEMENT
CASES ARE SET
TRIAL JURORS BEFORE JUDGES
DE BOLT AND ROBINSON -
WRIGHT CASE NEXT WEEK.

After the impanelment and charging
of the grand jury today, Judges De
Bolt and Robinson turned their atten-
ton to the term calendars. The GRIM
inal calendar was called by De Bolt,
and the calling of the civil calendar
was begun by Robinson this afternoon.
Before proceeding Judge De Bolt in
troduced Lorrin Andrews to the bar as
attorney general. Il have no doubt
that the. office of attorney general will
be as ably administered under the new
attorney general and deputy as it has
been under Attorney General Dole and
Deputy Cathcart," said the judge
THE interests of the Territory have
been guarded with zeal and ability. L
am confident that we shall have the
same efforts and the same results with
the present attorney general and dep
uty."
Attorney General Andrews thanked
the court for the kind words. He re-
marked that there could only be sue
cess with the combined efforts of all,
and that efforts would be made to keep
up the same high standard as has been
set by his predecessors.
When the B. H. Wright embezzle-
ment case was reached George Davis
made a demand for an immediate trial,
declaring that the defendant was
ready. Andrews announced that John
w. Cathcart would appear as special
counsel for the prosecution in this case
and in the James II. Boyd cases. The
Wright case was set for hearing next
Monday and the Boyd cases a week
later.

SURVEYED THE ADA.

Alec Lyle, representing the insurance
company, went to Kahanu yesterday
and made a survey on the schooner
Ada that was driven ashore in a gale
last week. The little vessel lost her
keel going over the reef, but according
to latest advices, although high on the
beach she had not begun to leak. The
stern line which. Captain Nelson put
out was stilf keeping the vessels bow
on the beach and the waves had not IN
consequence been pounding the craft
very hard against the shore 1t is
hardly likely that an attempt will be
made to save the vessel as she is very
high on the beach and the work would
be quite expensive. The Ada is the
first boat that Captain John Nelson
has lost in % years cruising about these
islands.

SUEY
NEARLY WRECKED
PARTED MOORING CHAINS IN
GALE LAST WEEK AT KAHULUI
AND WAS NEARLY WRECKED.

The bark Foohng Suey narrowly es-
capped going on the rocks at Kahului
last week. The prevailing gale played
havoc with the big iron vessel for a
while and had it not been for receiving
some prompt assistance from the rail-
way people at Kahului the vessel
would have been wrecked.
News of the narrow escape of the
Foohng Suey was received this morn
ing in a letter from Captain Willett
the master of the vessel. During the
heavy blow the bark parted her moor
ing chains. She was then helpless and
was being swept toward the rocks.
Captain Willett got his big hawsers
out and ran the lines over to the moor
ings to make fast again Assistance
fortunately was sent him from shore as
the railway people saw that his vessel
was in the utmost danger. With the
aid of the gang of men from the shore
Captain Willett was able to check his
vessel and bring her out of the shallow
water back to the regular anchorage
grounds. He was within a few hun
dred yards of the breakers which were
foaming unusually high.
The Foohng Suey has been loaded for
nearly week past but has been wea-
ther bound at Kahului during the re-
cent heavy gale. She will sail for De-
laware Breakwater with a load of su-
gar as soon as she can get tow.

parlors and were arrested. Two of
them were fined S. each, one forfeited
bail and the other was reprimanded and
discharged.

yesterday on one of the wharves on a
charge of gambling or being present
where gambling was in progress. Three
of the defendants forfeited bail and the
rest were fined $5 each.

MANY CRIMES
OF VIOLENCE
DE BOLT CALLS ATTENTION OF
GRAND JURY TO TOO FREE USE
OF DANGEROUS WEAPONS.

The February term of the First Cir
cult court opened this morning with
First Judge De Bolt presiding. The
grand jury was called at $3.50. John
Emmeluth and G. w, Hayselden were
absent and the court ordered attach
ments issued for them. Judge De
Bolts charge contained few references
to any specific matters calling for in
Vestigation. He called the attention
of the jurors to the number of crimes
of violence in Honolulu recently, and
urged special efforts to put an end to
them. The judge said in part:
You should fearlessly and unhesitat-
ingly proceed and act upon the abso-
lutely essential and indispensable prin-
ciple that no guilty person shall es-
cape just punishment, and that no in
nocent person shall suffer an injustice
at your hands. In Courts of Justice,
of which Juries form part, individuals
of the community appear upon plane
of absolute equality, each as a unit OF
society, and each alike impartially
clothed by the hand of justice with the
same rights. Each and all alike may
invoke the protection of the law of the
land which stands as a guaranty that
no person shall be deprived of life.

RECEIVER FOR SILVA.
Court Asked To Order His Property
Devoted to Alimony.

In the case of Carilona Silva VS.. NJ.
G. Silva, a motion was filed before
Judge Robinson this morning by Gill Il
Farley and f. f. Thompson asking for
the appointment of a receiver to Sc
quester the personal estate of Silv>
and the profits and rents of his other
estate, and apply the funds to the pay
ment of alimony as ordered by the
court last May. An affidavit by Gill
states that the sum of $50 per month
was ordered paid for the support of the
wife and children, but that none has
been paid. Last month the court gave
Silva five days in which to file bond
of $1,000 for the payment of the over
due alimOny, but the affidavit says he
has failed to file it.
