OAHU ISLAND.

Oahu, the third island in point of
size, lying southeast of Kauai, is the
most important of the group, containing
as it does the capital. 1t is first in
population and business and second in
production of sugar.
There are two ranges of mountains.
the principal one being the Koolau,
which extends practically the whole
length of the island. The Waianae
range to the west, is about fifteen miles
long. 1t contains the highest peak of
the island, Mt. Kaala, 1000 feet.
Both ranges of mountains are cut by
wide valleys, through one of which,
Nuuanu, is the principal pass from
north to south. Between the ranges
there is a high table land.
The fertile lands of the island lie in
the valleys and along the lower spurs
of the mountains. Irrigation is neces-
sary in almost every instance. Large
areas are devoted to ranching, especial

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

The Hawaiian Islands are in the
North Pacific Ocean between longitude
154 deg. so min. and 100 deg. 80 min.
west and latitude % deg. Is min. and
IS deg 81 min. north.
There are eight inhabited islands,
namely: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molo-
kai, Lanai, Maui. Kahoolawe and Ha-
wall. Three small islands or rocks are
uninhabited; Lehua, north of Niihau;
Kaula, southwest of Niihau; Molokini
between Kahoolawe and Maui. Small
islands further to the northwest are
properly considered as belonging to the
group, as Laysan.
The islands are of volcanic forma ton
and each has one or more extinct
craters, while on Hawaii, the youngest,
there are two living ones. Much of the
surface of the islands consists of lava
fields, although the major portion is
fertile soil. The mountains are precipi-
tous, partially~wooded. There are no
large rivers.
The climate is mild and equable;
cooler than in similar ATTITUDES on the
continents. The northeast trades blow
nearly all the year, producing delightful
temperatures, the extreme range being
from SO deg. to SO deg, with an average
about IS deg. The daily range is about
10 deg. The average yearly rainfall for
sixteen years past at Honolulu is
twenty seven and a half inches. The
population by the census of 1900 was
154, 900, of which the Hawaiian people
comprised nearly 80 per cent. The rrin-
cipal product of the Hawaiian Islands
is sugar, about 100000 tons of raw ma
terial being produced annually. One
factory refines its product.
The physical aspect Of the country is
that of huge volcanic mass, the result
of many and continued eruptions,
weathered down by the storms of CEN
turtles. On the new island of Hawaii,
where the up-building process still goes
on, is the highest mountain in the Pa
cific Ocean, Mauna Kea, some $4,000
feet. Mauna Loa is almost as high,
while Hualalai is close to 5000 feet.
Geological faults have cut great valleys
into the sides of the vast mountain
bulks, opening the way from minor cal
dera to the sea.

capital city Of Hawaii, is situated
around the bay of the same name. on
the south coast of the island of Oahu.
The Oceanic company's steamer Ala
media maintains a three weeks service

sen Kaisha lines between San Francis
co and the Orient stop regularly east
and west bound. The Canadian-Aus-
tralian company's ships, plying be-
tween Vancouver and Fiji, New Zea-
land and Australia, call once month
going each way.
The city has a population of about
40, 900 and is modern in every respect
being equipped with electric car sys-
TENS, electric lights, water supply, tele-
phones, wireless telegraph system and
railroad line connecting with other dis
tricts of the island. Fine hotels, both
downtown and at Waikiki. a beach
suburb five miles out, afford ample ac-
commodations for visitors. The sea
bathing is. world famous, and the surf
boating is unique.
About the city are many points of
interest, the principal one being the
Pail of Nuuanu. six miles up the valley
of that name. The roads are good and
charming drives may be taken around
Diamond Head into Manoa Valley. to
Waialae Bay, to Moanalua and Homo
lulu Plantation, up Tantalus, around
Punchbowl and about the city
The Oahu Railway extends II miles
to the north. through sugar and sisal
plantations, past Haleiwa Hotel.

Honolulu weekly for all other islands.
The volcano Kilauea, the largest active
crater in the world, may be reached
by steamer leaving every Tuesday and
returning every Saturday, or alternate
Tuesdays and Fridays, there is afforded
opportunity to see both routes around
the island of Hawaii.

MAKES SERIOUS CHARGES
AGAINST DICTATOR CASTRO
Asphalt Company Justifies Its Attempt
to Overthrow the Venezuelan
Government.

| New rehabilitation that high
officials in the Venezuelan govern
ment, including President Castro, de-
liberately attempted to extort from
the company the sum of 100000 are
made in statement given out Sun
day by the New York & Bermudez
Asphalt company in reference to the
suit brought by the Venezuelan gov
ernment for s11,OO0,OO0 damages for
aiding in the Matos rebellion.
The means used by these officials
according to the allegation, included
blackmail, confiscation of the COM
pany's property, the manufacture of
false testimony and the making of de-
crees without regard to law The al
legations made in the statement are
based upon the matters which, it is
declared, were received from A. P.
Garner, now receiver, holding the
company's property for the Venezue-
Ian government, but who in 1900 was
the companys agent at Caracas, and
the representative of Colonel Victor
M. Backus, who was sent to Vene-
zuela in 1900 as an independent agent
by the asphalt company. The state
ment concludes with an exhaustive re-
view of what it describes as the as
phalt company's actual relations to
the revolution"
In this connection it is explained
that 100000 was given to General
Matos by the officials of the National
Asphalt company on the generals re-
quest Further sums, aggregating
$4,000, were paid, the statement says,
to guarantee protection of the COM
pany's property at time when the
territory in which the company's prop
erty is located was in the control of
the revolutionists. The statement
maintains that the company at all
times observed absolute neutrality,
even going to the extent of paying
customs duties to both the govern
ment and revolutionists when the GUS
tom houses were controlled by the in
surgents.

no relief in sight. Through a series

POLES GRANTED
THEIR FREEDOM
They Will Have the Same
Liberties as the Russian
Citizen is Granted
For Good or for III the Ancient King.
dom of Poland Has Become an In
tegraI Part of the Russian
Empire.

St. Petersburg. -Poland is not to be
permitted to become a second Fin
land. The Russian government in a
strongly worded communication pub
lished Sunday morning serves notice
on the Polish nationalists that for
good or i'll the ancient kingdom of Pc,
land has now become an integral part
of the Russian empire, and that while
the government intends to fully OBJ
serve the national rights of Poland,
any attempt to wrest Polish autonomy
from the emperor would be considered
an act Of revolt, and would lead the
Poles into the sorrowful paths trod-
den by them in 1881 and 1863.
The communication recalls the fact
that the imperial ukase of December
25th last established a basis for the
gradual renovation of the civil life OF
Russian subjects, and points out that
the measures adopted in pursuance of
that ukase affected equally the Pol.
ish people. The ukase says:
I'm accordance with the ukase the
exceptional laws hindering the free de-
velopment of the nation were abro-
gated and the Poles were given the
same rights as the Russians-Educa-
tional, municipal and judicial, and re-
forms were introduced as stipulated
by the decisions arrived at by the
committee of ministers on June 10,
and by the ukase of April 80 regarding
religious liberty. The general meas
ures adopted by the government were
extended to Poland, which also was
given the right of participation in the
douma and freedom of meeting. Final
ly, on October 80, the Poles were full
ly recognized as free citizens, there
by obtaining full opportunity to prove
their capacity. By participating in
great creative work they would con-
sequently have gradually attained the
Interior progress of the Polish nation,
with the end of the electoral institu-
tons, which naturally would have
sympathiZed with their fate"

Assassination Theory.
Cheyenne, Wyo.-Friends in this
city of John N Tisdale, the wealthy
mining man who mysteriously disap-
peared recently in New York, express
the opinion that he probably has been
assassinated on account of the part
he took in the cattlemen's war which
was waged in Wyoming fifteen years
ago.
Tisdale, then prosperous stock
man of this city, was one Of the party
of cattlemen who chartered special
train in this city and, accompanied by
a gang of fifty hired Texas gum
fighters, made raid into Johnson
county, the stronghold of the small
cattlemen, who were then in control
of the county government. The
wealthy cattlemen said these small
stockraisers were "rustlers." The lat
ter said the big fellows were endeav-
oring to control the range and were
willing to countenance murder In or
der to get the land.
During this raid two prominent
of the small stockraisers,
Ray and Champion, were shot down
by the invaders. Later, friends OF
them swore vengeance on the big men
and informed them that they proposed
to make them answer with their
lives for the death of the men.

Russia breads War In Poland.

St. Petersburg.-The declaration Of
martial law throughout Poland is evi.
dence of the determination of the gov
eminent to try to nip in the bud the
movement to regain the autonomy
which the kingdom of Poland pos
sessed under the constitution which
was suppressed after the revolution Of
1868. The ease with which the Firms,
striking at the opportune moment,
compelled the government to make a
complete surrender, encouraged the
Poles to attempt a similar stroke and
the government has received advices
which leave no doubt that broad
conspiracy was organized to attain
this end.
