HAWAIIANS NOT
BEING ENLISTED

There has been a falling off in the
applications for enlistment in the navy
from among Hawaiian boys. The ma
tives who were enlisted did not make
particularly brilliant successes as sail
ors aboard war vessels and now only
such natives as are good seamen are
being accepted at the recruiting Office.
On this account the applications from
Hawaiians have fallen off. although a
short time ago there was a rush on
their part to get into the navy. Six
men are still on the IroQuois awaiting
transportation to the coast or trans
fer to some other vessel of the navy.
When the number has reached ten, they
will be sent to the coast aboard man
steamer unless a naval vessel happens
to be in port. Most of the men en-
listed here come from the merchant
men and the Phelps will no doubt fur
nish several for Uncle Sam.

EMBEZZLER NELLY.

Charles F. W. Nicely, of Muncie, Ind,
who figured prominently in the Cuban
postal scandal three years ago, is now
living in quiet elegance in this city.
Nicely was charged with the embeZzle-
ment of 100000 of postal funds. He
was convicted and sentenced to ten
years imprisonment and to pay a fine
of $56 701. Under the bill signed by
President Palma on June II, 1902,
granting amnesty to all Americans con-
victed of crimes in Cuba during the
term of American occupation, Nicely
was released.
Nicely landed here from Havana in
ception of an occasional appearance at
Washington. dropped completely out of
sight except to his most intimat e
friends Some of these friends carried
reports to Indiana that Nicely was liv-
ing here and cutting quite a figure both
socially and in a business way. They
reported that he seemed to be enjoying
the greatest prosperity; that he had
an elegant suite of rooms in one of the
principal hotels, and that he was en-
tertaining with a lavish hand. These
reports also said it was understood that
he was ION the ground floor in a num-
Der of deals involving large sums Of
money.
A World reporter, with these reports
as a basis, located Mr.. Nicely in an ele-
giant suite in a bachelor apartment
house. He has the second floor anart-
ment in the Royalton, No A West
Forty-fourth street, in the immediate
vicinity of Sherry's, Delmonico's and
other exclusive establishments. Mr..
Nicely subjects his apartment from me
original tenant, and has occupied them
about six months. He travels great
deal. but he makes the RoyaIton his
home when he is in the city. 1t is not
known there that he is engaged in any
business in the city, but he lives with
the appearance of having plenty of
means.
The reporter had a brief converse
ton with Mr.. Nicely last night.
Have you located permanently in
New York;" he was asked,
NO. sir" was the reply.
Have you established business con-
necttons in this city,"
7 have not"
do you expect to remain here any
length of tiTne?''
No, sir; I am going out tomorrow.
Mr.. Nicely declined to state where he
was going or what business he was en-
ga ged in. The hotel people said they
expected him to return there after his
trip. He is occupying his apartments
alone.-New York World.

BIG LINERS WILL
MAKE SHORT STAY

The two big Pacific Mail steamers
have been given orders to waste no
more time in Honolulu. Hereafter
they will leave on the same day that
they arrive in port, unless detained
in working the cargo. Heretofore both
the Korea and Siberia have been laying
over at Honolulu from twenty-four to
thirty hours but this has all been
changed by a recent order from Supt.
Schwerin.
The Korea which was the last of the
Pacific Mail liners to pass through
here arrived in port early in the morn
ing and departed again for the Orient
at $50 o'clock the same afternoon.
The same schedule will be followed
hereafter, both by the Korea and ST.
IBERIA None of the other Pacific Mail,
Oriental & Occidental and Togo Kisen
Kaisha boats stay in port longer than
is necessary to take on coal and get
rid of their Oriental freight and immi-
grants. The Korea and Siberia are
running on six-day schedule from the
coast and it will be maintained in the
future, the steamer arriving from San
Francisco on the morning of the sched-
uled day.
There is divided opinion as to how
the new order will affect Honolulu. By
some it is claimed that the shortening
of the length of stay in this port, will
work against the interests of the city.
Another view, shared by many is that
the new order will have the effect of
compelling tourists who want to see
the Islands to stop over between boats.
With the steamer in port thirty hours,
passengers may get the idea that they
have seen all there is to see, and con-
sequently not stop over.

CONTRACTS MADE
TO CARRY SUGAR

The American Hawaiian Steamship
Co. has recently made an agreement by
which its ships will carry Hawaiian
sugar around the Horn for at least
two years to come. The agreement
was signed in New York just a short
time ago by representatives Of the
planters and the steamship agents.
Under the new contract the Ameri-
can-Hawaiian freighters will handle all
the sugar that can be carried with the
tonnage at the disposal of the island
trade. The freighters will take about
10000 tons of sugar around the Horn
next year and the planters are now
chartering sailing vessels to take the
balance.
All of the sugar agents are included
in the two years contract, as follows:
H. Hackfeld & Co., T. H. Davies & Co,
Alexander & Baldwin, c. Brewer &
Co., Castle & Cooke, F. A. Schaefer &
Waterhouse Trust Co.
The contract calls for the handling
Of the crops of 1904 and 1905, the plan
tiers agreeing to furnish sugar for as
many steamers as the American-Ha-
waiian Steamship can place in these
waters. 1t is estimated that 100000
tons of sugar will be handled by the
freighters during the season of 1904.
The total balance of the crop, nearly
100000 tons, will be handled by the
sailing fleet excepting about $4,000 tons
which will be shipped direct to San
Francisco by freighters. The sugar
agents are now chartering sailing ves-
sells to handle the remainder Of the
crop.
The first of the freighters to take
part of the new crop will probably be
the Hawaiian which is due to arrive in
December

SOLACE SAILS
FOR THE COAST

The u. S. N. Transport Solace sailed
at two o'clock yesterday afternoon for
San Francisco. She is said to have
aboard greater number of passen-
gers than ever before on a visit to this
port.
Nine newly enlisted men were sent
aboard the solace yesterday morning,
and six Of them the ships officers re-
turned to the Iroquois. The Solace
Was already SO crowded that the ad-
ditional six passengers could not be
accommodated.
The Solace viii probably make a
slow trip to San Francisco. She is
rather dirty and will go to the Mare
Island Navy Yard for a general over
hauling upon her arrival

Sorenson & Lyle's new yacht, just
launched this week, and built especial
ly to try conclusions with Walkers
yacht, Defiance, was sailed to Pearl
Harbor yesterday, on her first long sea
trip. The Mary L. went as convoy, so
that the new boats speed could be
gagged.
Sorenson's boat is larger than the
Defiance, being two feet longer, one
and one-half feet wider, and eight
inches deeper. She also carries much
more canvas. Both are equipped with
sliding bilge- boards instead of center
boards.
The contest between these boats on
Saturday promises to be of the keen
variety and yachtsmen are interested
in the outcome. Both are third raters

The yachts will not have a steamer
follow them as in former times, as the
Regatta Committee desires to eliminate
this item of expense.
All the lesser events, comprising
tugs-of-war, Japanese fishing boat
races, ETC., will be pulled off near the
light house, to give everybody an OPP
