Mr.. Teller said 1t was not true that the
bill would reduce the price of sugar. He
declared that the sugar trust would secure
the benefit Of the bill, although 1t Is said
II was intended to aid Cuba. The powers
behind this bill were the owners of oO.000,-
coo acres OF sugar lands in Cuba, owned by
American citizens: besides the hundreds CT
millions of dollars Of the sugar trust.
The public sentiment In favor OF this bill
had been manufactured In Cuba, and the
American people were made to believe that
the people Of Cuba were In a serious con-
ditfon and unless relief OF this kind was
granted there would be riots and starra-
ton. The manufacturing of this senti-
ment, he charged, was inaugurated by Gen.
Wood, who might he said be the author OF
the proposed legislation, backed by the
executive with an energy he had never
before seen displayed. He said Gen. Wood
two years ago had sent circulars to SEN
ators urging the passage OF the then pend
ing Cuban BILL an act that would have re-
suited In tho cashiering Of any other officer.
Gen. Wood had sent out circulars. he said
early in September. 1901. to alcaldes and
other municipal officers in Cuba, urging
them to prepare demands upon the United
States for reduction Of the duty on sugar
and tobacco.

HARBOR BECOMING
DESERTED. AGAIN
THREE SAILING VESSELS WILL
DEPART FOR SAN FRANCISCO
THIS WEEK.

The list of vessels on the way to
Honolulu is rapidly increasing. The
| same deserted appearance that marked
the harbor about a mont ago will be
repeated if some of the numerous boats
now under way d. not put in an ap-
pearance soon.
There are now only six sailing vessels
in port. The barkentine Jane L.. STAN
ford, the schooner Blakeley anil the
ship Benjamin. =. Packard are loading
sugar for San francisco at the Rail-
way and Hackfeld wharves. The Stan
ford will be about ready to sail tomor-
row. The Packard is expected to get
cut this week for the same place, as
will the schooner in a few days.
The Swedish ship Clan Macfarlane is
putting out coal at the Coal wharf
while the ship SerVia is discharging
coal at the Railway wharf. The
I British ship Glencairn is still in the
stream.
The S. S. Nevadan got out this morn
ing for San Francisco with 5,40O tons
of sugar and $50 tons of general cargo
aboard. She sailed shortly after 10
o'clock.
From San Francisco the bark Andrew
WEIGH is out 81 days, the bark Edward
May is out 26 days the bark Kaiulani
Is out 10 Gays, the DarKetlne w. ii.
Dimond, out IS days and the George
Curtis, 10 days all for Honolulu. The
bark st. Katherine is out IS days for
Hilo.
The bark Nuuanu is out 116 days from
New York. She should be along at any
time now.
With the strong trades that have
been prevailing for tie last week. some
of the vessels from San Francisco ought
to be along at any time. A big lot OF
sugar is piling up at the railway wharf.
A number of vessels from Newcastle
are out, but none of them are out much
more than the time for an everage pas
sage.
