Second-Why did the German ships alone take
part in the bombardment?
The fact that only German ships took part IN
the bornhardment is obviously explained. Mara

German forces.
When will the blockade be raised?
No decision has vet been reached by the IN

Venezuelan coast shall he raised.

TUA TUA NOT A
LEPROSY CURE

DIR. l.. F. Alvarez has received a most
interesting letter from Juan de D. Car
rasaquilla, who is one of the professors
Of the University of Colombia. at Bo-
gotta. DIR. Carrasaquilla is one of the
foremost physicians of the South Amer
lean nation. and his experiments with
leprosy at the city lazaretto in the city
where he Is located have been produce
tive of much good. In the course of the
letter he says:
1.-THE plant tua tua (Jatropha gossi-
pifolia) has no specific qualities what
ever to cure leprosy; it simply is vio-
lent drastic cathartic that places the
unfortunate patient that uses it in dan
ger of death, without improving in any
way the symptoms of the disease. Here
it was tried on a large scale in the
lazaretto Aqua de Dios.' and the re-
suits were either nil or disastrous"
Further along in his letter the pro-
fessor says:
among the results that 1 have OBJ
tanned in my experiments, l announce
to you that have found the germs of
leprosy in the heas that have bitten
the lepers. and ] believe that the flea
Is the agent that transmits the bacillus
from the lepers to the clean. and thus
communicates the disease. About this
matter 1 have the results of many ex-
periments unpublished"

also that the government should ac-
quire all the land mauka of the springs
in order to keep the water from being
polluted, and said also that in 1888 the
springs had dried up and Booth was
compelled to pump water onto the taro
land. At this point the Chairman
called attention to the fact that for the
first time a Senator had exceeded the
limit of time In argument, but upon
motion McCandless was allowed five
minutes longer. He said also that the
using Of this water by the government
would make useless some ninety acres
of taro land which, under present con-
ditons of the taro supply. should not
be permitted. As to Baldwn's alleged
assertion that there was probably two
millions of gallons in Pauoa. he said
that the experts figures We're of more
value, and that there was a good deal
OF difference between the VALLEY Of

elsville." He claimed that there is

FOR SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
Paele moved to refer the bill to spe-
cial committee, and Kumalae, after
seconding it, went into long argument
and likewise the provision that the
company might ever combine with an
other, which he said would be a trust
and that would be contrary to Republic
can principles.
Fernandez argued for the bill, telling
how fine was the service, extolling the
secrecy feature and denouncing the
present central system.
Kalama said he was opposed to allow
ing the Standard Company to reach
Maui. as they have a good company
there. He said the Standard Company
would simply freeze out all other COM
panies. He therefore moved as an
amendment the striking out of all ref
erence to the other islands, leaving the
franchise applicable only to Oahu,
BECKLEY MAKES FIGHT.
Speaker Beckley took the floor to say
that he was opposed to section IA Of
the bill. Under that section, he said,
the corporation could purchase the
stock of other corporations or sell to
Transit had this privilege and bought
$3.50 Tramway shares. Today there are
no mule cars on King street. He said
he believed in competition, as there
might be better service for the people.
He said he was opposed to any priv
ilege to Honolulu people to go over and
compete with Maui's company, as that
was purely home company. The priv
ilege in section IA might be so used
that few shares in outside companies
might be bought and endless litigation
result for the purpose of wrecking the
companies. He said also there might
be a trust in telephones, when Lord
help the people," Kupihea tried to take
Beckley of his feet with a previous
question motion, but he was not recog-
nized. Beckley said the Oahu county
members should ask the privilege for
their county alone, He then moved to
strike out section II. as against trusts,
Andrade saying he would accept the
change. Unanimously the elimination
was made.
BILL IS TABLED.
The question then came up on the

this was lost on tie vote, the Speaker
so deciding,
Kalama's amendment. combining the

Kumalae's amendment, for the pay

Speaker deciding in favor of the pay

PAHOA WATER WORKS.

Senator Isenberg, for the Special
Water Committee, reported tavorably
the bill to provide for the purchase of
the Pahoa water works. The COM
mittee finds some of the pipes perfect.
but the reservoir is valueless. The cost
of the water is $11.26 per million gal
Ions. The committee estimates the
value OF the property at $76,45O and
proposes an amendment changing the
figure of 100000 in the bill to that
amount.
Senator Brown moved the adoption
of the report, saying that Superlntend-
ent Brown told him that this water
works would supply the entire Wal
kiki, Moiliili and Diamond Head dis
tricts.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1903-04-17
PRICE IS TOO HIGH.

Senator McCandless opposed the rail-
reading of the bill through. He said
the purchase would cost the Territory
$1,000 more in interest than the water
rates now being received. The Kallhi
plant. he said, would supply the dis
tricts II reservoir was built. The
valuation OF the committee, he said.
also, was too much. Three years ago
an expert had fixed the value at s65 900,
and 1t hadn't appreciated since. He OBJ
jected also to the Territory taking q
load off some ones shoulders because
he was losing money. He argued
against all propositions of this kind.
the Territory buying private rights.
NO MONEY. SAYS ACHI.
Senator Achi also opposed the bill,
saying that the. Senate had already
more than filled the loan bill and
couldn't put In the s764O0. He favored
the City of Honolulu taking the water
works, but not the whole country pay
ing for 1t.
