the policy which Lieutenant General
A. X. Chaffee, chief of staff of the
army, appears to have adopted in re-
ference to those officers who are
sentenced to dismissal by courts
martial. In some cases the courts have
recommended clemency and I'm others
the reviewing authorities have sub
mitted a plea for the accused officer.
General Chaffee believes that an officer
found guilty by a court and sentenced
to dismissal should be dismissed that
If the court discovers any element In
the case justifying leniency 1t should
exercise it's rights to modify the
sentence accordingly.
The Navy Department has received
numerous appeals and complaints from
various sources, all aimed at what Is
supposed to be a great evil at Warning
tOn-the squatter community on the
naval reservation at Pensacola, Fla.
Years ago the people employed at the
navy yard at that place were allowed to
settle on the reservation, so as to be
near their place of occupation. A little
town grew up, where the inhabitants
did not have the right to vote, and
where the ordinary functions of
municipal authority were exercised by
the commandant of the yard. Some
one lately started the story that the
children Of these people were growing
up in ignorance, without ordinary
school facilities. An effort was made to
GUST the residents, but most of them
have established homes and do not
want to move. They have continued to
live on the reservation, but will prob
ably be required to transfer their
homes sooner or later. The depart
ment is replying to the complaints
about the lack of schooling at Warning
ton by showing that there are five or
six schools in the place, and that the
record of attendance is about the same
as in other parts of Florida.

RUSSIANS PROVE
THEIR BRAVERY
AT CHEMULPO THE VARIAG AND
KORUTZ ARE RIDDLED BY THE
JAPANESE FLEET.

! TOXIC, Feb. 11.-Later accounts of
the engagement with the Variag and
Korutz at Chemulpo indicate the Rus
slams made a brave fight against an i'm
Intensely superior force The engage
ment was watched by thousands of per-
sons on shore who had gathered in
anticipation of collision. The Amer
| lean gunboat Vicksburg the British
cruiser Talbot the French cruiser Pas
| cal and the italian cruiser Elba also
! WITNESSED the engagement, and saluted
the victorious flag. The Korutz was
| severely overmatched. Broadsdes from
the Japanese vessels raked her contin-
uously until she sank. Many of her
crew We're killed by shells or drowned.
Those of the survivors who swan
ashore We're captured by Japanese SOL
diers. AS the cruiser Variag was
steaming out of the harbor she was met
by hail Of shells, and her mast speed
lily fell. Her crew fought with desper-
ate energy for several hours. After
she had taken refuge among the Poly
nesian islands her captain ordered the
crew to save themselves, and then him
self blew up his ship.
About 200 of the crew Of $50 were
killed or drowned. The Variag's officers

PLANTATIONS
HAVE STOPPED
WET WEATHER MAKES IT IMPOS-
sIBLE FOR CANE TO BE GOTTEN
To THE MILLS.

Business is practically dead in ship
ping circles. Little effort is being
made to either load or discharge yes
sells. The bad weather is the cause
Of the cessation Of work Even over
at the Railway wharf where things
are generally lively every thing has
stopped and little work s being done.
Sugar can not be loaded during the
rain storms and whatever can be done
has to be loaded between showers
The steamer Maui arrived with Hama
kua sugar today. She is to discharge
stopped and little work is being done.
Ena and also some of the cargo into
the bark r. p. Rithet. The latter yes
sci got about $500 bags of sugar from
the Mauna Loa last week. The Ena
lacks about 1000 tons Of having her
cargo complete. This sugar will prob
bly, all be put into her from the shore
side as it is to come from Eva and
Waialua.
There is scarcely any sugar on hanu
at the Railwa warehouses About
200 tons from Kahuku is on hand.
About 200 tons more from this planta-
ton is to go into the Frye but the load
ing Las not been commenced yet. The
gasoline schooner Eclipse is to bring
1000 tons of sugar from NJ. S. CO. at
Anahola. This sugat is being held
at the railway warehouse for the S.
S. Nevadan which is scheduled to sail
today from San Francisco.
The Oahu Railway is still crippled.
In fact the road is in practically the
same condition now that it was a
week ago when the first break in the
system was caused by the storm. Even
though the railroad is out of commits
sion for considerable of its system this
fact is not the reason for no sugar be-
ing on hand. Every plantation has
stopped grinding. The managers of
the various plantations reported that
until the weather changed for the bet
ter they wolld shut down grinding.
The ground is too soft to support the
portable tracks so the cane can not
be handled. There is practically no
sugar on hand at any of the plantations
Waialua having about 666 tons in the
warehouse at the plantation. At least
two days of good weather will have to
be experienced before the plantations
can resume work again.

THE SCHOOL EXHIBIT.

Two thousand dollars were allotted
TO the Department of Public Instruc-

for the st. Louis Exposition. AS but
half of the amount has been needed for
that purpose, it is hoped that the Gov
ernor wiz approve the outlay of the
balance in sending a representative Of
the Deparement to St. Louis with the

FIRE IN SEXTONSylLLE.
Fourteen Families Burned Out IL the Early
Morning.

Baltimore, Nd. (SpeciaD.-A fire
which broke out from an unknown
cause about midnight in one of the
dwellings composing the little ham
let OF Sextonsvillc, near the Claremont
stock yards, just outside the south
western city limits, destroyed four
double houses in row OF six, occu-
pied by laborers.
The fire originated in the house OF
Mr. Anthony Schultz, which was about
midway OF the row, and spread with
remarkable rapidity in both direc-
tons The inmates OF the houses
largely Germans, were aroused from
their beds to see their homes catch
ing from the Schultz house, and al
though efforts were made to get out
their effects, the fire spread so rapidly
that little could be taken from any
save the end houses OF the row. Two
hours after the fire started three dou-
bic chimneys alone marked the spot
where six of the twelve houses had
stood, and two of the remaining build
ings were burning hercely.
