KENNAN'S VIEWS.

The best correspondence, all things
considered, which this war has pro-
duced, is that in The Outlook from
the pen of George KEENAN,. 1t is liter
ature. The Outlook, acknowledging
the receipt of a private letter from
Mr.. Kennan, announces that he is en-
route TO all the points of interest on
the Corean and Manchurian coasts, q
vessel having been provided by the
japanese government to carry officials
and three correspondents, including
Mr.. KEENAN,, on that journey. Regard
ing the general prospects in the East
Mr.. KEENAN, writes as follows, part nj
his forecast having since been verified:
ut looks now as if there might be
heavy fighting in the near future in
the northern part of Liaotung PENN
sula The Russians seem to be moving
southwark in force with the intention
of relieving Port Arthur. and sand
wiching' the second Japanese army be-
tween the Port Arthur garrison and
the advancing column of General Ku-
ropatkin. If this be attempted, IT IS
likely to result in disaster to the Rus
slams I don't think they can stand
against the Japanese In the open field.
Thus far they haven't even been able
to hold intrenchments against them
They have, Furthermore, to reckon
with the Yalu army of General ku-
roki, which will be upon their left
flank. and they may get 'sandwiched'
themselves between the first and sec
end armies of the japanese. My i'm
preston is, from talking with Japa-
nese who are likely to be well inform
ed here, that the Japanese armies will
not attempt to go very far from the
seacost. If they defeat General Ku-
ropatkin's army in southern Manchu-
ria. they may follow it as far as Muk-
den, but it isn't likely that they will
go to Hardin. Their plan of campaign,
as understood here, is to take and hold
the whole seacoast from Port Arthur
to Vladivostok, fortify northern Ko-
rea, and then stand pat leaving the
Russians to take the offensive if they
feel so disposed. The interior of Man
clluria is of no use whatever to the
Russians without the seacoast. and If
the japanese content themselves with
the acquisition of the coast and there
await developments, the Russians. in
order to continue the war, must take
the offensive. 1t is believed here that
the Japanese will try to take Port
Arthur by assault within a month,
and that they are prepared to sacri-
flee 10000 men if necessary, in order
finally to dispose of what remains of
the Russian fleet there, so as to have
their own fleet free to meet the Rus
and attempts to regain command of
the sea- The case of Vladivostok,
however, is different. There is no hur-
ny about taking it. and the Japanese
army will probably isolate it and starve

Small farming in the suburbs of Ho-
nolulu cannot be profitably done on a
water rate of ~ cents per thousand
gallons such as is being charged at
Kaimuki. 1t is the custom in other
places, where small farming is en-
couraged, to provide water for irri-
eating purposes at a merely nominal
rate. At San Diego, on the farms sup
piled by the city reservoir, the rate
used to be So per acre per annum and
was afterwards raised to So. This was
one of the ways that a rich lemon and
raisin-producing district was created.
Assuredly in a district like Kaimuki.

company were quite enough. To put
them up from $50 per year to dollar

age a growing and very necessary in

BAND OF SMUGGLERS
HAS NEW DEVICE

NEW YORK, July 12.-Behind the ar
rest of the wireless telegraph operator
and a hospital steward employed or
one of the largest transatlantic liners
charged with smuggling sumatra to-
/ bacco, the customs officials claim tc
have unearthed new and ingenious
/ methods of smuggling of diamonds.
silks, tobacco and other merchandise
j which should pay high duty
/ Frauds on the. government of enor-
nous proportions are believed to have
been perpetrated by this method. Its
successful conduct required combina-
ton of expressmen. steamship en-
ployes and possibly government officials.
It's beneficiaries and possibly its pro-
motors are believed to be merchants of
this city, some of them men of wealth
and prominence.
Smuggling in trunks, carried as pas
sengers' baggage. upon which labels in
dicating that they had been properly
examined and passed by the inspec-
tors We're surreptitiously pasted, is the
method. In addition to the persons
mentioned, two others have been arrest
ed and large force of special treasury
agents is at work seeking other persons
accused of participation in the frauds.
Trunks containing the merchandise
which the conspirators arranged to
snauggIe into the United States are, I'M
der the scheme said to have been in
use, marked with a private mark and
placed with the hundreds of other
trunks owned by passengers. On ar
rival at this port the confederates of
the smugglers on board the ship were
in position to reach the baggage and
upon the trunks of the smugglers they
pasted the special label, indicating that
an inspector had examined the contents
of the trunk and found nothing duti-
able therein. When the customs Off
Gals came across a trunk with such
label on it they passed on. The trunk
was then carried to the pier and passed
into the hands of it's owners.
To get these labels was the first re-
quisite of the successful prosecution of
the new method. They may have been
printed and placed in the hands of men
who could aff1x them to the trunks or
they may have been washed off trunks
PROPERLY passed by express men who
are employed to transport them from
the piers.
In single trunk passed by the dupli-
cate label system a smuggler might
bring into America enough diamonds
to make him Independently wealthy.
How far the ramifications and the ex-
tent of this new scheme have gone has
not yet been determined.
The exposure was premature and was
practically forced upon the customs
men who were working on and waiting
for bigger game. They were compelled
to take action through the wrong adj
dress placed upon trunk, found later
to contain leaf tobacco intended for a
manufacturer of cigars in Brooklyn.
The duty on the leaf, of which there
was sixty-five pounds, is 81 a pound.
Two other trunks which came by the
same steamer were found to contain 1877
pounds of Sumatra leaf. One of the
prisoners is said to haze revealed the
secrets of the band

Rich SPOIL FOR 4
MARQUIS CREDITORS

NEW YORK, July 11.-Anglesey Cas-
tie is slowly giving up its secrets, says
a Herald dispatch from London. The
catalogue of its contents when publish
ed will form one of the most remarkable
documents ever issued from the print
ing press. Fictitious stories arising out
of local gossip which fixed the value of
the jewels and other treasures found
in the castle at a million sterling, may
be dismissed, but the facts are in them
selves sufficiently extraordinary. The
living rooms in Anglesey Castle are fur
nished in a manner that is magnificent
ly eXtravagant.
According to the latest computations.
the jewels that have been discovered
are expected to realize at auction from
100000 to $150.0O0. The original cost
was probably double, but owing to the
fantastic settings their value is consid-
erably reduced.
The approximate value of the furni-
ture and other articles, apart from the
jewels, real and imitation, that are now
being catalogued will probably be some
thing like 100000.
LII lIiS IiOuSe anu SIOuiluS ever
fancy of the Marquis has apparently
been gratified in the most luxurious
manner.
A meeting of the committee of inspec-
ton has been held which lasted six
hours. The result of the conference is
that there is now every prospect that
the affairs of the Marquis will not come
before the bankruptcy court. The liabil-
tiles at present ascertained are about
$1,3S0,000 and it is believed that under
the proposed deed of assignment the
creditors will receive their money in
full, plus four per cent interest, within
about nine years, providing the Marquis
lives that long.
The deed of assignment has beer
agreed to by a large number of the
creditors, including three continental
jewelers. who have claims for about
$4,000 600, and certain English money
lenders.

SERVANTS HOUSE

All Sing is in the police station on a
charge of vagrancy. According to the
story told by the officer who arrested
him All Sing is not so much of a va
grant as something else. Yesterday
he went into the servants quarters in
the Montana residence in Manoa Valley
and was ransacking the place when
the servants discovered him. Then he
ran away and found refuge in the Lam
tana scrub. The Montana employees
discovered that they had been robbed
of watch, a necktie or two, and sew
eral other articles and gave chase.
Other servants in the neighborhood
Joined in the chase and All Sing was
captured but he did not have the watch
on his person and. as no one saw him
take it they We're unable to charge
him with larceny. The police We're
telephoned for and went out and took
All Sing into custody.
