FIGHT WITH PIRATES.
Police Make a Capture In New York
Harbor.

New York, May IA battle with
pistols between a squad of harbor po-
lice and a band of revolutionary
pirates has resulted in the capture of
the latter and the recovery of five
bags of concha beans valued at 81, 900.
The fight was a thriller while it last
ed. In answer to an alarm from a
railroad pier on the North river six
officers hurried there in a launch. Just
as they approached an open boat fit
ted with an engine shot out of the
darkness and headed full speed across
the river. The police commanded a
halt but the two pirates crowded on
power and dropped into the bottom
of the craft. Taking UP the chase the
police opened fire which drew an in
slant response. The thieves were not
good marksmen, while their boat was
being struck nearly every shot and
after a short chase they surrendered.
No one was wounded although scores
of shots were exchanged.

WHAT HE WANTED.
New York Salesman Did Not Find 1t
UntiI He Reached Topeka.

Irving johnson. a drummer who is
well known to many merchants, was
In town yesterday, stopping at the
Throop, where he told a few new
stories that he had collected on his
last trip.
Il am glad to see" said Mr.. John
son, that Topeka is right up to date
in cigars as well as in other things. I
have been hunting for a Wadsworth
Bros Chicos in the last half dozen
towns, and did not find one until I
went into Stansheld's drug store, 6S2
Kansas avenue, this morning. That
cigar is all right, can tell you, and
although it cost only Sc yet 1 push
them out to my customers, knowing
that they will think it is q. 10c or two
for a quarter"
The Wadsworth Bros Chicos is an
all Havana filled cigar that smokes
Just as a cigar ought from start to
finish, burning evenly with long,
clean, firm ash.
It's flavor appeals to the lover Of
high grade cigars, and It's price to all
sensible smokers.

NO TwINE FOR OUTSIDERS.
Warden Jewett Decides Kansas Will
Need All Product.

Warden E. B. Jewett has decided
that the state of Kansas will have no
prison Irvine to sell in Oklahoma this
year. Last year the Kansas peniten-
tiary Irvine was sent to Oklahoma to
some extent, and sold there five or six
cents under the trust prices. This
was done because a. mum Der of Okla
homa prisoners were employed in the
binding Irvine plant and it was
thought that the territory was en-
titled to a small portion of the output.
A different plan for marketing the
products of the plant has been adopt
ed this year, however, and Kansas will
have no Irvine to spare. Oklahoma
will have to buy it's Irvine from the
trust

The majority of the Tongans do not
appear to have any wish to be annexed
to England or any other country. Now
that the treasury and other depart
ments have been put on a firm basis,
they are perfectly willing to remain as
they are. The impression seems to
prevail i'm Nukualofa that, although
George Tubou II will still be nominally
king the British consul will be the
power behind the throne, and Eng

King George II will be the last Ton
gan king; at his death England will
assume control-that is the general
opinion.
There are, without doubt many mat
ters which require to be enquired into.
The lands all belong to the natives,
who will neither sell nor lease. Very
little of the land is cultivated. There
is perfect mine of wealth in the CO.
coanut plantations, but no attempt is
made to cultivate them, and most are
overgrown with lantana and scrub.
The bananas grown are inferior to
the Fijian product, and not properly
cultivated; the punches are small and
diseased, and no banana powder is
used, nor are the punches sheated. The
natives, however, take a deal of trouble
i'm shipping and casing the fruit. The
better samples of punches are wrapped
in leaves and enclosed in baskets made
of cocoanut leaves. The average price
paid for lunches is one shilling on the
wharf.
There is no barter, and traders have
to pay cash for all produce purchased,
giving for copra about so per cent of

IWALANI BACK
FROM MIDWAY
VESSEL HAD VERY BAD Wealth
Err DURING ENTIRE TRIP-MID-
WAY NEWS

The steamer IwaIani, Captain Piltz
arrived early this morning from Mid
way via Eleele. The steamer left Ho-
nolulu December II for Midway with
quantity or stores and live stock and
poultry for the cable people, contract
Ors and marine guard on Midway. She
encountered bad weather from the
start. She got out to Midway Deem
Der "a but was unable to get around in
the lagoon owing to rough weather. She
lay to in the lea of the reef for near
ly heck. Captain Piltz loaded the
live stock ana poultry in boats and got
them landed through a break on the
southeastern end of the reef.
Although the sea was breaking over
the bar at the entrance to Welles' Har-
Dor on the western side of the harbor,
Captain Piltz was able to get the
steamer safely in after the rough
weather had subsidized somewhat. The
remainder of the stores were then dis
charged. The vessel was at Midway
for nearly two weeks, leaving there
last Friday. She met rough weather
coming back and stopped at Eleele to
load 5000 sacks of sugar from McBryde
Plantation. The vessel brought two
Japanese labOrers, naval reserve men,
who have been called home to war a
white laborer and two Chinese. No
stores or building material were
brought back.
Captain Piltz reports that the perna-
nent buildings are now nearly complet-
ed and will be ready for occupancy by
| the first of February. Time is hanging
| heavily on the hands of most of the
men, there being three crowds on the
island, the cable people who keep to
themselves, the marines who keep to-
gether and the contractors who also
draw the social line.
The cattle that We're taken out Were
slaughtered and put into the cold
storage house, but the remainder of the
stock and poultry was not killed and
will be kept and KILLED as is desired.
A steamer will have to be sent ia
Midway to bring the contractors force,
the marine guard and the remainder OF
building material back.

MILLS IN KAU CURTAIL GRIND
ING AND PLANTING IN PAHALA
DELAYED OWING LACK OF RAIN

Hawaii is suffering greatly for lack
of rain. In fact the condition in some
sections is so bad as to be almost
drought. In Pahala only drinking water
is available and the planting of cane
has been stopped. In Kau the grind
ing of the various mills has been shut
down to a small part of the mill capa-
city owing to the shortage of water.
In Kona a heavy rain storm ensued on
Monday and Tuesday however. News
of the bad condition of the Big island
was brought this morning by the w.
G. Hall which arrived from the Mauna
Loas run to Maui and Hawaii ports.
The steamer brought 552 sacks of
coffee, q head of cattle, 1856 bags of
sugar and quantity of general freight
A number of passengers returned on
her. The steamer went over to the
Oceanic wharf and discharged her SUI
gar at that place this morning.
The Hall will go back on her regular
Kauai run on next week and the Mauna
Loa will take up the Maui and Hawai-
run on Tuesday.
