ST. MIGUEL
People ARE
READY
ARE SELLING THEIR PROPERTY
AND POSSESSIONS IN. AZORES IN
READINESS TO COME HERE.

Letters were received here by the
last mail from st. Miguel, one of the
Azores, in regard to possible emigra-
tion from there to Hawaii. 1t was
stated in these letters that many peo-
pie there We're selling their little prop
erty and their possessions in prepara-
tion for coming hither.
These people have been aware of the
effort to induce them to come hither by
letters from here, and from newspa-
pers and newspaper clippings sent to
them from here. They have been well
informed of the opportunities offered
here and of the conditions under which
they would be able to secure work and
homes. This seems to have aroused
among them strong desire to come,
and the result is stated in letters re-
ceived by the last mail.
These letters spoke only of what was
occurring and doing on the Island OF
st. Miguel. They do not speak of the
other islands of the Azore group. But
it seems altogether probable from these
letters that Collector Stackable viii
meet with a sentiment among the peo-
pie alive to the matter of his mission
and in large degree already prepared
to come hither.

Astral
Saved
Six Lives
CAPTAIN DUNHAM OF THE BIG
VESSEL PICKED UP SIX FILL
PINOS OFF FORMOSA.

Captain Dunham of the ship Astral
has increased his record for life saw
ing. On his recent trip to Japan from
New York he sighted boat containing
Formosa island, in the Boshee Channel.
The men were exhausted when the AS
tral sighted them. They had been
adrift for 26 days and had been living
on rain water and uncooked rice. Cap
tain Dunham had a boat lowered and
took the six natives aboard the vessel
and later landed them at Yokkaitchi.
Japan. where the American consul
took charge of them.
The Filipinos had started from place
on the west coast of Luzon for another
town about twenty miles distant They
had about 10 bags off rice aboard their
boat They got too far out from
shore The mast of the little boat was
carried away and the boat was nearly
swamped. They had to jettison most
Of the rice.
Captain Durham was presented with
gold medal by President Cleveland in
| 1887 for saving the lives of twelve men
from the sinking vessel George r..
Young. She was then about 125 miles
south of Sandy Hook. The sinking
vessel went to the bottom within a
short time after Captain Durham had
rescued the crew.

The rainfall on Kauai this week has

Some remarkably heavy downpours are
reported from various localities. The
copious rainfall have done a great deal

swollen that he could not cross. He
was forced to remain at Wainiha until
after the water had subsided. No

have been done.
At Eleele the rains fell so copiously
last Tuesday that all of the reservoirs

High Sheriff Henry has appointed a
jailor who is without Republican party
credentials or endorsements, as pro-
vided by the rules and regulations of
the party, and the Waianae precinct
club has passed resolutions condemning
him for It, The sheriff, however, deiles
the club and openly declares that he
cares nothing at all about it and
doesn't propose to consult it at ALL
"I don't know whether the man is a
Democrat or a Republican or a Civic
Fed or what he is, said Henry. He
was recommended to me as a good
man for the place and did some inves-
tigating of my own and satisfied my
self that he would fill the bill
II don't care what the precinct club
says. am not going to put up a
$4,000 bond and let Chris Holt make
my appointments for me-"
The last remarks bears upon the re-
port that Holt has much to say in the
Waianae precinct club. The jailor ap-
pointed is at Waianae. 1t isn't much
of a job, but the precinct club re-
sented being ignored and started a row
which it proposes to carry to the high
er committees of the party, so that the
high sheriff will probably find himself
at outs with the party again.
The following are the resolution and

MISSION
A FAILURE?
RUMORs OF WORD FROM HIM,
BUT THE, BOARD OF IMMIGRA-
TION REMAINS sECRETIvE.

Collector Stackable, it is said, has
found the Azores labor proposition a
failure. Gables are said to have been
received here by him, to the effect that
immigration for Hawaii cannot be Sc
cured in the Azores or Portugal, owing
to higher offers for the mthan Ha-
waits offers, made by other countries.
The report states that there has been
a demand from South America for Por-
tuguese, and that considerably better
wages are being offered than Hawaii
offers. Hence Stackable is stated to
have about given up the idea of get
ting Portuguese.
The Board of immigration is one of
the most s0,retive boards ever organ
lied here, and it is impossible to get
any information as to what it is do
ing. Though it is a Territorial board
and is engaged in efforts to bring thou
sands of people to the islands to settle
here it has taken the view that the
people already here have no business
to know about its doings, and main
tains a strict secrecy.

BattI0d
With Seas
OIL BOAT HAD TO BE HOVE TO
IN FACE OF HEAVY SEAS THIS
TRIP-DAMAKES BY WAVES.

The s. S. Whittier arrived off port
last night from Monterey after a rough
passage. She bears the marks Of some
of the damage done by the heavy seas.
The vessel left San Francisco August
30 and Monterey two days later. She
ran into a heavy western swell soon
after leaving Monterey The weather
was so rough that finally the vessel
had to heave to. There was gale pre-
vailing. Great seas washed over the
main deck of the vessel. One of the
exhaust pipes from the steam winch
forward, was washed loose from the
starboard side of the deck and had to
be lashed down. One of the electric
light boxes on the same side was
smashed in and strange to relate, two
letters of the name on the forward bow
were washed off by the seas. The fore
stay sail was carried away. One of
the sailors was hurt on the head while
trying to haul in the sail. His injuries
were not serious however.

OCEANIC STEAMSHIP COMPANY
FILES A NEW ANSWER IN THE
FORD CASE.

The Oceanic Steamship Company
filed in the federal court this morning
an amended answer in the Ford libel
case, setting forth a number of addi-
ti0nal alleged facts which the company
has learned since the Ventura left here
Ford is the man who is suing for $5,-
900 damages for unlawful imprison-
ment. He was taken off the Ventura
and confined in prison about four days,
with no charge placed against him, and
after being released on habeas corpus
he brought libel, having ]. ]. Dunno
and George D. Gear for counsel.
The new answer while admitting like
the old one that the long detention was
unjustifiable, shifts tina blame on to
the police officer who made the arrest,
and sets forth why Ford was arrested.
1t charges that he was drunk and fail
ed to report for duty on the Ventura
on the night of the arrest, June g. He
began throwing dishes and things at
those working in the kitchen, and an
officer was telephoned for to arrest
him. After being arrested, says the
answer, Ford asked to be allowed to
go and get his clothes. He was allow
ed to go, and made his escape. Later
in the evening he got into fist fight
on deck, with several men, and was
placed under arrest again.
The officer well knew what charge to
place against him, says the company,
and he should have made the charge,
so that 1t would have come up the next
morning in the district court. Instead
of that Ford langushed in jail unac-
cused for four days and then brought
the libel.
The answer was filed by Kinney,
McClanahan e. Cooper.

Mkt SAI9O
AND FRANK
THOMPSON
NEW PASSPORT PLAN WHICH
THE ATTORNEY is SAID TO BE
WORKING FOR.

Reports come from Japan that Con-
sui Mkt Saito has again postponed his
return to Hawaii, for the purpose, it is
said, OF comforting with Attorney
Frank E. Thompson, who recently left
here on trip to Japan.
One rumor being circulated here is
that Thompson went to try to effect a
new arrangement with the Japanese
Government regarding immigration to
Hawaii The desired arrangement Is
that the imperial government prohibit
its subjects from immigrating to the
mainland under heavy penalties, and
issue passports only as far as Hawaii.
1t is believed that this would stop the
constant stream of japanese frDn
home coming here, as they do now and
using Hawaii merely as a way station
en- route to the mainland.
