Col. Church. Editor OF the Army ana
Navy Journal, is taking deep interest
In Hawaiian affairs, especially those
relating to the twin-services. Col.
Church Is a conservative man, and
what he may advocate with relation
to Hawaiian military improvements is
certain to attract attention at wash
ington.
Col. Church intends writing magazine
articles on Hawaii, its need of defences,
ETC., with illustrations, and is busy
gathering the materials.
Capt. Niblack of the naval station
has placed launch at the disposal of
Col Church, who will inspect Pearl
Harbor and the proposed naval station
there. Yesterday morning he visited
the Pail, and in the afternoon he was
a guest at an informal tea given by
Governor Cleghorn at Ainahau. If

any part of their share of said income.
portioned and paid periodically to sur
viving beneficiaries share and share
alike.
One Of the beneficiaries named in the
viii, and daughter of testator, Agnes
Soares, has, 1 am informed, been prac-
tically destitute during the entire period
of the trust, and has never been paid
one cent of her rightful share of the
income by the trustee
Another, Rosario Barete. who has
been an unfortunate inmate of the leper
settlement since the inception of the
trust, has been paid not more than
$1,000 during the whole period of four
and one-half years.
Maria Barete, widow of testator. and
mother of Manuel, a minor beneficiary.
states that for upward of three years
her son has received nothing but
shirt or pair of pants once every three
or four months at the hands of Fannie
Guerrero, nee Barete, the principal
payee, who has had the care and GUS
tody of four minor beneficiaries; but
she, on the other hand, asserts that she
mas paid on account of Manuel his pro
rata of the amounts received by her,
some $500 to $3.50 per month.
The vouchers covering payments
made on account of beneficiaries have
checked, and the amounts thereof have
been verified by Fannie Guerrero, nee
Barete.
The remaining items of disbursement
of Schedule "B" are mainly supported
by vouchers, which have checked, and
find correspond, except item for taxes.
The repair expenditures on homestead
were also confirmed in a general way
by Fannie Guerrero, who occupies the
homestead with her family and three of
the minor beneficiaries.
The loan to Goo Yau Chung, already
referred to, is omitted from schedule,
and should be corrested by being placed
in the account.
CHARACTER OF INVESTMENTS.
Some of the loans herein were made |
on personal notes, and were improper
investments of trust funds. While the |
loans have been repaid, I am of the
opinion that attention should be direct. |
ed to this matter in order that future |
risk of like nature may be avoided.
Taxes, SS3440 (years 1901 19O2-19O3A |
1900:
Entered in account as paid July LIST,

is not supported by voucher, and, upon
investigation of same, I am informed
by the tax assessor that he has re-
ceived no moneys whatever from the
trustee. nor from any other source. for
as shown by classified payments under
Schedule ''B' herein, when, in fact, the
full net income should. have been ap.
taxes on this property during the
period stated.

taxes to be delinquent in the sum of
$s34.4O. with 10 per cent. added of
ss3.45, together with advertising costs,
$500; total, s919.s5.
BOND MISSING.
The Clerk of Courts bond record con-
tains entry of filing of bond in this
estate by the trustee, but the bond it,
self is missing from fits proper place1 .
in the files, and I have been unable,
after further search, to locate same !
elsewhere. !
have been unable to verify the bal
ance of cash shown by the account to !
be in the hands of the trustee, to witt

The trustee states that same is de.
posted in the First National Bank of .
Hawaii to his credit as such trustee,
but he, as yet, has failed to comply
with my request to exhibit evidence of
such deposit.
Which matter, together with all and
singular the several other matters
herein set forth, I respectfully submit
FOR your Honor's consideration
