A big coil of wire cable, the piece
that was wound around the propeller
of the steamship Siberia in Honolulu
harbor and on account of which the
owners of the steamer are suing the
dredger Pacific was introduced in evil
dence yesterday before Judge Dole, sit
ting as commissioner to take tes
timony, and some remarkable testl-
mOny was given regarding the diving
operations of one Domea, the star
witness of the day. The wire was
taken off the propeller in Yokohama
harbor, and Domea testified that it
took him over two days, with a number
of assistants.
The wire was coiled twenty times
round the propeller, said the witness,
and the task of removing it was one
of considerable difficulty. He worked
eight hours at a time, at a depth Of IS
feet. In answer to questions the diver
said that he could work continuously
at that depth.
Domea is the champion diver of
Japan. He is nephew of the first
Japanese to go into the business, and
is known all over the Orient as an ex-
pert. On the death of his uncle he
succeeded to the business. He was

case, to testify as to the removal OF
the wire and to identify it. The case
will largely hinge, it is said, on whe-
ther the piece Of cable is proved to be
really from the dredger.
Judge Dole asked Domea how great
a depth he could reach in his opera
tions. The Jap said he had gone down
to 80 fathOms, or 21O feet, but at that
depth he could only stay down two
minutes or so. AT thirteen or four

about working all day at that depth.

In the search for an tissue" for the
coming campaign the Home Rulers are
seizing upon the Territorial Board of
immigration and charging the Repub-
lican party with organizing the board
for the purpose Of getting voting po-
pulation here which will vote down the
Hawaiians. This is the present line Of
effort in the way of holding together
the Home Rule natives, and the fact
that there is no Hawaiian on the board
is used as an additional argument. All
the Home Rule tendencies are towards
a campaign in which Hawaii for Ha-

SEND FOR
FIL|PINOS
PLANTERS SELECT MAN TO LOOK
FOR LABOR IN THE FAR
EAST.

A meeting of the Planters Association
was held yesterday afternoon. The
matter Of sending a man to the Philip
pines was discussed in all it's
bearings. w. O. Smith, Secretary of
the association said this morning that
no one had been appointed as yet. The
appointment will probably be made at
the next meeting of the association,
Thursday next.
1t was reported about town that
George Fairchild was asked to go but
declined, O, A. Steven, who was re-
ported to be the man appointed is not
to make the trip at all. j, F. Morgan
leaves Wednesday for New York and
Steven cannot get away. The mat
ter will be settled next Thusday.
1t is unduerustood, however, that in
yesterdays meeting of the planters. a
selection was practically made, though
by general agreement the name is be-
ing kept secret The agent is to go
and investigate the proposition of get
ting Filipinos to come here. Recent
reports here indicate that the Fill
pinos are much better laborers than
they were some years ago reported to
be and an experiment will be made
with them.
The Board of Immigration is also
said to have held another secret meet
ing and there are numerous conferences
going on of the members Of the board
the acting governor and the planters
association. The policy of all con-
cerned is to maintain the utmost Sc
cresy as to their plans.
