AN ALLEGED increase
OF LEPBOSY IN CHIN

CANTON, December 9.-It is believed
that leprosy is increasing in China,
despite the reports of the Chinese gov
eminent that It is being stamped out
by degrees The claim is made that the
reason the government is so industri-
ously circulating reports that the dread
disease is being rapidly extinguished is
found in the fact that leprosy among
coolies always has been a powerful ar
gument used against Chinese immigra-
ton to the United States and other
civilized countries.
Some $4,000 lepers, are known to be
congregated in villages surrounding
Canton alone, and 1t is stated that Rev.
Father Conrady, who assisted Father
Damien among the lepers at Molokai.
intends settling near that city. In the
leper village Of Fat Fung Yung. six
miles east OF Canton, where Father
Conrady probably will start work, there
are over 1000 lepers. Lepers are allow
ed to go to Canton, where they are
often seen In the crowded streets.

A SHOPLIFTER WHOM KING
KALAKAUA ONCE KNEW

well-born woman, who, as n child,
was once held in the arms of one OF
Hawaii s kings, was arrested in San
Francisco on December 10 for shoplift-
ing. She was the daughter of one of
Emperor Macmillan 8 most famous
generals, educated in the best conser-
orite with royalty. She even sang with
Patti. The San Francisco Bulletin tells
the woman's history as follows:
The first to fall in the meshes of the
law was Mrs. Guadalupe Benanati, the
wife of a prosperous Italian, living at
20lSB Powell street. She was arrested
at the Emporium with dressful of
small trinkets which she had succeeded
in collecting during the afternoon.
At her home trunk full of stolen
property has been found by Detective
Sergeants Charles l.. Taylor and Harry
p. Braig. just how much the stolen
articles are worth it will be impossible
to determine until someone familiar
with the prices has looked them over.
The woman does not attempt to deny
her guilt, but admits it. Moreover, her
husband adds TO her confession by ad-
hitting that the wife has been stealing
from shops about town for more than
two years. He has frequently warned
her to desist, but the temptation was
too much for her to Withstand.
Something of the woman's antece-
dents are told in newspaper clipping
found in her possession which she seems
to prize. 1t was written sometime be-
fore she married her present husband,
when she was the widow of a man
named Nightingale. 1t reads:
"Mrs. Nightingale of San Francisco
was the guest Monday and Tuesday of
this week OF DIR. and Mrs. g. l.. De-
Whey. Mrs. Nightingale was the only
child of General Mendesa, who was on
the staff of Maximilian, the Mexican
Emperor He was one of those delegat-
ed to escort Macmillan back to Maxieo
and was one of the prominent Generals
The Hawaiian gazette., 1905-12-29

at the time of the downfall. General
Mendesa was imprisoned at that time
and sentenced To be shot with many
others, but escaped by his wife paying
a large ransom, after which he was
exiled from Mexico for five years.
While in exile his daughter, Mrs. Night
ingale, accompanied him, lis wife re-
naming in Mexico to attend to their
large estate, part of which was confis.
Gated by the Mexican revolutionists.
"While abroad the General placed
his daughter for a year in the French
Conservatory of Music and for like
period in the conservatory in Milan,
where she studied music and Italian,
and became a very noted and accom-.
pushed vocalist and musician. She also
speaks several other languages fluent
ly. While on their way back to Eu-
rope, General Mendesa visited the Ha-
waiian King and was entertained at the
royal palace. Mrs. Nightingale was
presented Nv the King with a beautiful
gold dogs head set with diamonds,
which with the passport signed by him
she still retains.
"Several years ago the Hawaiian
King died in San Francisco. A few
days before his death he was visited by
Mrs. Nightingale. On seeing her he
remarked:
Can this be the little girl held
in my arms so many years ago.
"While his daughter was studying In
Italy, General Mendesa Travelled over
Europe. also being one of the Arctic
exploring party. On his return he visit
ed their old home in Seville, and then
returned to Mexico, after his FIVE years
OF exile had expired. Later, Mrs.
Nightingale, owing to her wonderful
musical abilities, was engaged by the
manager of Adelina Patti for the cho-
rus and appeared first at the Metropoli.
tan Opera House in New York. Not
withstanding her age, Mrs. Nightingale
still retains a sweet sympathetic voice
and is a most interesting entertainer. "

Much to the disappointment OF
Hawaii sugar planters who are more
than ordinarily interested In the de-
velopment OF the harbor and the BUSH
ness OF the port OF San Pedro for their
own good, the proposed itinerary OF
the steamer assigned to san Pedro
does not contemplate any stops at the
Hawaiian Islands. II Is believed. how

offered the company by the merchants
and planters OF Hawaii that they will
be tempted to change the routing OF

at Honolulu.

him lies the arranging OF the details
surrounding the entry of the first reg
ular trans Pacific steamer service into
the harbor OF San Pedro.
II is understood that arrangements
already have been made for the un-
loading OF shipments directly to bonded
warehouses, whence they will be re-
leased by the government customs au-
