ton Well In Hand and
Relief Work Pushed.
GOV. EMILIO NUNEZ,

VALPARAISO, Aug. 23.-The gov
ernment and local authorities now
have the situation in this city well
in hand. The work OF caring for
the homeless earthquake sufferers
is progressing rapidly and sufiici-
emily, while the dead are being re-
claimed from the ruins and taken
away for burial.
Thirty thousand refugees have
left Valparaiso and gone to Santi-
ago. The President has issued an
order to captains Of all Chilean yes
sells now in ports of the republic
TO proceed to Valparaiso with pro-
visions and take away from the city
all who desire 10 reach other points.
It is estimated that fully $4,000
persons will leave the city.
Situation Not Alarming.
While there is continued cIamor for
food the situation in this respect is in
and countries are sending supplies
which are being distributed with all
possible dispatch
The government has issued the follow
ing pTOclamation-
In this hour OF adversely all inhabit-
ants must know that every kind of re-
source Is ready that the city is well
protected against disorder and that the
police, naval and military forces are ar
irving in large numbers; that authority
will proceed incNOrably in any attempt
at disturbance against property or per
sons and that food and medicine are
sufficient. Authority appeals 10 the en-
crgy, sClf-deuial and patriotism OF all
the Inhabitants for cooperation for
public order and safety.
Encamped in Suburbs.
it ic estimated that from 10000 TO
200, 900 persons are encamped IN open
spaces In the city and in the suburbs
An order has been issued against camp
ing IN the streets This facilitates the
work Of cleaning up the debris and re-
moving the dead.

r. K. Bonfne, who has been in the
Territory for some time taking moving
picture views and lantern slide scenes
for the Thomas A. Edison company, OF
Orange, n. J., is delighted with the
success he has met with on Hawaii and

A report has come floating across
channel from Maui to the effect that
n. P. Baldwin would not be averse to
rounding out his career of distinguish
ed public service with a term as Dele
gate in Congress from this Territory.
And, if the report be true. Kuhio
would better get ready to begin to

does things with a considerable de-
gree of earnestness, when he does
them.
The Territorial Convention, as
is we'll known, meets this year in Wal

is a well known fact that although
Cornwall beat Baldwin for Supervisor
in the last county election. that was
a f1uke and Baldwin can have anything
from the Republicans of Maui that
he wants 1t follows, that if he wants
the delegation to the convention, he
can have it.
FEELING AGAINST KUHIO.

Delegate in Congress snouId be a man
who is really representative.
The pressure for Kuhio, of course. is
largely race pressure. The native Ha-
waiians have got the idea that the
delegateship belongs to them and in
that view have been inclined to flock
to the Delegate without much regard
to party lines. So strong is this feel
ing that it has been more or less
openly asserted, although never by the
Delegate himself, that Kuhio would
run whether he were nominated by the
Republicans or not, relying upon his
own people to elect him.
If any white man could break the
back of this kind of combination. it
would be H. P. Baldwin. He has al
ways been the friend of the natives,
and has always been able to get pretty
much what he wanted from them
again barring that ffuke by which
Cornwall beat him for Supervisor.

the convention for denomination. This
is definite, and final
So passes out of the active arena of
local politics a picturesque and inter-
esting figure. Withal, Mr. Lucas has
been a useful member of the Board of
Supervisors, and one against whom no
charge of wrong-doing has ever been
made to stick. He has done his duty,
as he saw it. And, while he will not
himself be candidate, there is no
doubt that he will continue to take an
interest in public affairs. He would
not be Jack Lucas if he did not do 1t.
SOME POSSIBLE EFFECTS.
OF course, his withdrawal from the
field will bring many candidates for the
Board Gf Supervisors to the front ac-
lively. Also. it will create great stir
among the politicians. Lucas was con

The General Board.

Washington, d. c., May 29.-There
is much conjecture among naval men
I'm regard to the selection of an Of
ficer to succeed Rear Admiral M. T..
Endicott, chief of the bureau of yards
and docks, when that officer goes on
the retired list in November. 1t so
happens that one of the civil engi-
neers of senior rank is available for
the duty, and naturally, line officers
are filing their applications for ap-
pointment. 1t is recognized that the
return of the bureau to line influence
and control would be an important
gain by the general board, which has
much to do with the public works, the
extension of naval plants and the es-
tablishment of new stations at home
and beyond seas. Senator Hale is
against the naval general boards he
is in opposition to the army general
staff, and declares that no special ad-
vantage would be derived ~ the ser
vice in its personnel or material
branches by transferring bureau du-
ties and responsibilities to 1T. The
president, on the other hand, incllnes
to the belief that work would be fa-
cilitated and administrative duties CO.
ordinated by an enlargement of the
powers of the general board, and the
majority of naval officers agree with
him.
