SUGAR

SAN JUAN, p. R., November 90,
1905.-Agitation is still growing over
the prospective visit of labor leader
Samuel Gompers to this island. Sugar
men, while not feeling exactly alarm
ed over the outlook, nevertheless are
extremely cautious in their negotia-
tons covering period extending over
the next six months. The mail to the
States has been heavy with letters add
vising agents, correspondents and capt.
talists as to what may be expected if
an oratorial firebrand be thrown among
the sugar laborers here. In conse-
quence, contracts and arrangements re-
lating to crops and grinding have been
affected to a greater or less degree. The
unrest is very apparent, both among
the laborers waiting for Gompers and
among planters wondering what the
outcome may be.
The last time Gompers was here he
made no secret of his desire to stir up
the sugar laborers to a point that in
Latin speaking country is tanta-
mount to riot or strike. OF course, Mr..
Gompers did not say strike, but he had
hardly gotten back to the States be-
fore the sugar laborers struck, and for
three nights San Juan was in the hands
of a mob. The police patrolled the
streets armed with rifles and the strik-
ers got so violent at last that volley
was fred across the Plaza Principal
killing one man and wounding ten
others. That night the sugar strikers

MARRIAGE FAILURE
ON SECOND TRIAL

Angeline K. Mossman has brought a
divorce suit against Harry c. Moss
man. This Is the second time, she
having obtained a divorce from him
on September 10, 1904. after being then
married to him since April Is, 1898. By
reason of his entreaties and ION his
promise to reform and mend his ways"
she was again legally married to him
on November 1, 1904. Father Sylvester
performed the ceremony as on the first
occasion. Failure properly to support
herself and their two surviving children
is the ground alleged, being the ground
on which the former divorce was grant
ed. She prays for the custody of the
minor children, Angelina aged s 1-2
and Christian l 1-2 years of age, also
reasonable sum per month or week
as alimony for the support of the chill
dren during their minority. Two chill
dren of the couple are dead. Libelant
is informed and believes that libelee
has an income of $3.50 from his prac-
tice of law in the district courts of
the Territory. Frank Andrade is her
attorney.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.
HAVANA, Cuba, November 29.-Ev-
erything is hustle and hustle now upon
the Cuban sugar plantations, because
the harvest is near at hand. From all
appearances the crop this year will be
the largest the island has produced in
many years, and some people even go
SO far as to predict that all records
will be broken. The calculations are
rather difficult, owing to the great
many thousands of acres of new cane
which have never before produced.
Some of this cane is being grown in
sections of the island where cane was
never planted before, and while there
is every reason to believe that it will
be as successful as that in other parts,
or even more so, because in many
cases the land is practically virgin, one
can never tell. The latter is especially
true of the great, apparently endless
tracts of cane planted along the track
of the new Van Horne railroad, which
has paralleled its line through what has
always before been practically an un-
explored forest The cane along this
road appears to be as fine as one cares
to see. 1t is beautiful to look upon, the

Sc RVICE FAULTY
But FEE SAVED

Judge De Bolts written decision In
the specific performance case of James
Armstrong and l.. l.. McCandless
against Ane Keone was fled yesterday.
The court refuses to enforce the con
tract for specific performance because
1t made no provision for the house
that, it was admitted by plaintiffs, be-
longed to defendant. The court does
not like the payment of counsel by OPP
posite parties. 1t does not think Mr..
Heen fully protected his client Is in
terests.
"On the other hand,' the court says,
this woman has not assisted the court
all that / think she could. / think
there were many facts within her
knowledge connected with this case
that she has not divulged as freely and
as honestly as she should, and i think
that she should be required to refund
all the money!
This refers to the attorneys fee of
$50 paid by plaintiffs to defendant Is
attorneys, Heen G. Kaulukou, and to
the cost of survey of the larger of the
two pieces of land. AS to the smaller
piece, the survey was of no advantage
to her at all. Costs in former proceed
ings are left to be settled when brought
to the attention of the court. so Heen
d Kaulukou get their fee, but their
own client pays it.

The Hawaiian Planters Association
has sent a distinguished entomologist.

haustive study there of all insects in

is to know what insects are injurious

predaceous enemies, so that IL any of
the injurious insects should be acct

character will be known before they
have increased to such an extent as to
become ruinous to the cane crop, and
means can be taken to prevent their

STAND PAT
ON REVENUE
trrom Thursda,,s AdvertIserl

CFrom Thursdays AdvertIser)
The delegation TO Washington has
agreed to stand pat for the one prop
osition which concerns the rs per
cent. revenue recommendation OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt In his message to Con-
gress.
yesterdays conference of the Oahu
delegation with Governor Carter.
The delegates decided that the best
policy Is to agree on the soundest
arguments possible. obtaining the sem
timents Of each member. and then con-
dense these to one single, strong argu-
ment and stand pat on that. This Will
be done in order that individual argu-
ments made in Washington shall be
exactly those made by the delegation
as a whole
The delegation will consider no side
issues whatever, and there will be no
politics, as the delegates will always
remember that they are the represent
tatives only of the various mercantile
bodies of Honolulu.
A meeting will be held today at w.
o. Smiths office to get down to some
final ideas as to the policy to be pur-
sued. Other matters concerning the
business details of the delegation will
be considered. The selection of a chair
man will be made, and 1t is generally
conceded that w. o. Smith will be
rendered this position. A secretary is
also to be selected, and a disposition
is to be made of the press agent prop
osition.
AS to the secretary, 1t may be that
some one will be selected who can act
as the delegations clerk, one compe-
tent to act also as a stenographer. In
some quarters it is thought that stem
ographic help taken along from Homo
lulu will be more competent and salts
factory than help acquired in WASH
ington. 1t would give additional
trength to the delegation, and in the
yng run would probably be cheaper.
At is known that there will be con-
siderable clerical work, as the delega-
ton will undoubtedly appear before
many congressional committees.
Messrs. j. p. Cooke, j. F. Morgan
and j. G. Rothwell, composing a
finance committee for the delegation,
made the rounds of the business COM
munity yesterday and succeeding in
having subscribed about half the
amount desired, which is $4,000.

year saw the completion of the mason

done but the stopping up of the tenn

Then the water will be turned on
and the dam filled. There will be no

years have shown in the case of cat

Oats and barley have in the Pa
