NEGROES BURN
CANE IN CUBA

A dispatch from Havana, Cuba, says:
Word comes from the interior of many
and serious fires on the sugar planta-
tions. Some are from accidents, but a
number are reported to be the work
of negro blackmailers who are refused
the tribute always demanded when a
prospect of political power opens up.
All these negroes are members of the
liberal party, to the leaders of which
Gov. Magoon is granting Office after
Office for their followers. There are
not enough offices to go around by sew
eral thousands The negroes left out
are waiting the summons to Havana or
the establishment of the republic prom
ised by the American government and
the withdrawal of its forces.
These men will not work and must
live. Their efforts to accomplish this
is burning up the country here and
there. Besides many fires of minor ac-
count, there was one near Nuveitas
early this week that has arrested at
tention by its magnitude. More than
1,250,000 arrobas of cane were burned.
The loss fell on these colonias of the
estate Lugareno: Alfredo Cordovi, co.
900 arrobas; Declorides Labrada, 400,-
600; Jose Perez, 100000, and Jose Ma
chias, 100000. These figures make the
fire one of the greatest in the history
of cane burnings in Cuba. In addition,
fire broke out again on Thursday on
the coloria of Apolonia Fernandez near
by and destroyed 100000 arrobas. The
total loss in pounds of cane would be
more than 100000.
With these frequent fires added to
the political unrest, troubles with Ia
Dor, low price of sugar and high freight
rates, the sugar planters are in a con
dition bordering on panic. The tobacco
planters are not much better Off. There
will be n shortage, it is said, of nearly
10000 bales of the finest leaf, and a
general falling off in the yield of the
lower grades. Prices, however, are kept
up by the short crop, because, unlike
Cuban sugar, Cuban tobacco is king of
its market, and must be had by the
manufacturers and consumers. Still this
is of little benefit to the planter, who
has this year very little of any kind
to sell. Some judges put the shortage
in Cuban tobacco this year at 100000
bales, but this is probably exaggerated
in order to further affect prices. That
there will be considerable less yield
than usual seems, however, to be prob
able.

Honolulu, Mnrch II, lyVis
Editor Tribune. Hilo. Hawaii
Dear Sir: have seen a copy or
your paper OF March 9th inst. relat-
ing TO the brief which | presented at
Washington In support OF an appro-
priatlon for a breakwater at Hilo.
/ thank you for the complimentary
expression concerning the character OF
the brief; but note that you have fall
len into error concerning an unsigned
letter. Exhibit 49," contained therein.
Concerning this you say: THE wis
dom OF MIR. T'hurston in incorporating
this In his report is most seriously to
be questioned"
When I got TO Washington / found
on file in the Army Engineers De-
partment three reports upon the pro-
'osed breakwater at Hilo. viz: list. a
preliminary report by Capt Slattery;
End, a final report by Capt. Slattery
included in and made a part OF which
were number of Exhibits including
No. 10: 3rd. report by Col. Huer.
Chief Engineer OF The Pacific Coast
Division. in which Hawaii is included.
1 never saw or heard OF Exhibit 10
until saw 1t at washington as q
part of Captain Slattery's report.
had no idea who the writer was and
was sorry to see 1t in the record.
also intensely regretted finding that
Col. Huer's report was strongly ad-
verse to the breakwater. There was
nothing to do, however, but to try and
meet the objections made. For this
purpose General Mackenzie. the Chief
OF the Army Engineers, kindly per-
mitted me to print both Capt. Stat
tery's and Col. Huers report in order
that might base an argument there
on and attempt to meet the objections
made.
II I could have secured the elimina-
ton from the record of Exhibit 10 as
well as Col. Huer's report / certainly
should have done so; but they were
both there, a part of the official rec
ord. as made by the Federal officials.
and had to be considered as a whole.
AS to the letter being anonymous
I have since been informed that 1t was
not written for publication; not even
intended for Captain Sattery's infor-
nation; and that the writer did not
even know that Captain Slattery had
seen 1t until 1t appeared as part Of
the latter's report. the signature hav-
ing been withheld by Captain Slattery.
Allow me to make the following
suggestions to you. and through you
to the good people of Hilo:
Business in Hilo Is not as prosper
Gus. at present, as it might be. and
the island generally has not develop
ed during the past few years as rap
idly as many OF us had hoped. There
are unfortunately some personal an
tagonisms in Hilo, as elsewhere; but.

the sheriff's watchfulness and had
gone out on a fishing expedition. 1t is

Fifst Of her race in Hawaii to I'M
derso the solemn rite and enter upon
the entirely conseorated life 1t be-
tokens, Miss Mary Wong Leong. OF
major Chinese parentage. yesterday
took the veil" in the Catholic cathe-
dral and became a Sister OF the order
OF the Sacred Hearts OF Jesus and
Mary. A congregation filling the large
edlfice witnessed the ceremonial.
Among the concourse were the young
woman's father and mother, also her
maternal grandfather and grandmoth-
er. She Is the only daughter of Wong
Leong, the well known merchant and
rice planter. Her father and grand
father are full-blooded Chinese, her
mother and grandmother part Hawai-
Ian. A brother is studying medicine
in a college at st. Louis and another
is a student at st. Johns College,
Shanghai.
Bishop Libert officiated and the
singing was entirely by the Sisters
and pupils of the Convent school, Sis
ter Beatrice being the organist. Miss
Leong. who had fulfilled a novitiate
OF many months. appeared in the dress
of the Order lacking the veil. the cine
ture and the scapular. She knelt at
the chancel front, her hands in those
OF the Mother Superior, and took the
vows of poverty, chastity and obedi-
ence, upon the holy gospels Next she
was laid out, to symbolic her death
to the world, and draped with black
pail by four Sisters, each holding
candle, as the choristers sang the
Miserere. The Bishop having blessed
the veil. the cincture and the scapu-
lar, these were placed upon the novi-
tate, completing her initiation into the
siaterhood. With the singing of TIE
Daum and other devotions the solemn
ceremonial was ended.
After the service in the cathedral
reception was held in the Convent
parlor at which Sister Aleida, the
name assumed by the initiate, receiv-
ed the congratulations of relatives
and friends. Some years ago a Miss
Seabury. Portuguese, took the veil
here. With the initiation of Sister
Aleida two Portuguese maidens and
one of part Chinese blood began their
novitiate.

Mr., THURSTON ON HILO'S
FIGHT FOR A BREAKWATER

has secured the appropriation for
brcakwater. which all appear to agree
will be beneficial. not only to Hilo but
to the Island OF Hawaii as n whole
and the Territory at large.
In this connection / desire to em-
phasize the fact that the breakwater
appropriation could not have been Sc
cured but for the united support given
to the proposition by the Hilo Board
OF Trade. the Eilo Chamber OF Com
merce. the Honolulu Commercial or
ganizations, the Pacific Coast CONNER
cial organizations and by many In
dlviduals both in the Islands and at
the Coast. More particularly of value
was the strong and efficient help given
In washington by Geo. Il. Mcclellan
and F. NJ. Hatch. In other words 1t
was team work" which accomplished
the result. We all had a hand in It.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I am told that
there are people In Hilo who do not
like me. / hope 1t is not 80. for
value the good opinion of my neigh
bors There are also some Hilo people
whom, 1 regret to say, the good Lord
might have constructed on broader
lines. Be that as 1t may, their inter-
ests. my interests, and the interests
OF every resident and property owner
in Hawaii are involved in the begin
ming of the construction OF the break
water; in the securing of additional
appropriation to complete 1t and in the
future development and prosperity of
Hilo and the island of Hawaii gener-
ally.
Under these circumstances 1 suggest
that we stop chewing the rag about
what Is past and gone. Many mis-
takes have been made: many things
have been said and done which would
better have been left unsaid and I'M
done; but in view OF the great value
already accomplished by "a united eff
fort, will 1t not be better for us to
let bygones be bygones and get into
common ground for mutual help and
development for the future?
l do not believe that the statements
made in the Memorial of the Hilo
Board OF Trade concerning the posi-
bilities OF development of Hawaii are
platitudes or bumcombe.
l believe that Hilo and the island of
Hawaii are in a state Of arrested
development: but that there is a great
future ahead for the city and the is
land. A long step will be taken to-
"dru achieving that iuture at oil edi
ly day If we can bury our personal
differences and feelings and get to-
gether. If this is done 1 believe that
the development of few years will
astonish the most sanguine.
pledge my support of this policy,
Mr.. Editor. Will you not co the
same?
/ remain yours for harmony and
progress,
LORRIN A. THURSTON.

RAILWAY IS
WELL FIXED.

There is a strong anticipation ION
the street" that before the end Of
this year Oahu Railway & Land Co.
will be seven or eight per cent.
dividend paying stock. For some time
it has paid six per cent. Good reason
is at the bottom of the anticipation.
1t is almost a certainty that the com
pany's floating debt, which for seven
years has fuctuated at from nearly
quarter million to nearly a half mil
lion dollars will be wiped out three or
four months before. the year has ex-
PRED. Here are some of the facts and
figures:
In 1900 the bills payable of the o.
R. 6 L. Co. were $3.50, 235.32 and debts
due sundry creditors $56,0s1.21, total
of $225,316.53.
December 81, 1901, bills payable were
$3s9,s30.72 and sundry debts $39,775.-
IS, total of $429,60637. That year
the company expended large amount
in the purchase of Honolulu terminal
and tide lands. Among its summarized
items of expenditure were two of $780,
600 and $l,2OO,O0O respectively, and
that it should have come out with less
than half a million dollars of floating
debt was big achievement.
At the end of 1902 the figures were
$274,597 bills payable and $117,591 due
sundry creditors, an aggregate of $780,
1873.
There was an increase in 1903 to
1929, 360.66, of which 1921, 066.23 was
in bills payable, but this was cut near
ly in half in 1904, when bills payable
were $225,OO0 and sundry debts $780,
GIFTS, making $260,677.75.
In 1905 bills payable were $4,000
and sundry debts $6s,315.03, total
of $163,315.O3.
Last year, 1906, the company built
the Wahiawa branch out of earnings,
the original purpose of bonding its
construction having been discarded, yet
at the end of the year the floating
debt was the lowest yet. Bills payable
were but $37 900 and sundry obligations
$113,7390S, totaling sl50,739.0S.
The net earnings of the company in
1906 were in round numbers 100000.
Out of this were paid regular monthly
dividends amounting to $240,000 and
an extra dividend to $4,000, making
100000 of divided profits, which left
surplus of $145,O0O for reduction of
debt, etc.
The Wahiawa branch has paid from
the start.
Probably before the first of Septem-
Der the o. R. & l.. Co. will have paid
off all of its floating Indebtedness.
when an extra dividend will likely be
declared to be followed by a raise in
regular dividends. The stock was quot
ed yesterday at "a bid and 81 asked.

RUSSIANS
FOR HAWAII

An opportunity Of obtaining Russian
labor for domlciling In this Territory
IL held out In the following letter from
the United states consular agent Mt
Vladivostok to the Governor. II was
received about ten days ago but has
not yet been considered by the Board
Of immigration, that body's delibera-
lions having been monopolized by the
business transmitted from Mr.. Stack
able. its special agent, regarding the
transportation OF Spanish and Port
uguese emigrants
Possibly Russian labor immigration
by way Of Vladivostok would cost less
than the introduction of people from
western Europe. AS an element Of
future American citizenship the Rus
SLAMS will probably compare favorably
with any other race available for
agricultural labor in these islands.
From the inquiry as to the necessity
of showing $50 on arrival 1t may be
inferred that the Russian colonists
would not count on having their pas
sages paid for them.
This is the letter to Governor Carter:
American Consular Service.
vladivostok, February 20, 1907.
rtory of Hawaii.
Sir. / have received an inquiry as
10 the conditions under which Rus
sian immigrants could be admitted to
the Hawaiian Islands. 1t appears that
in the spring representatives of VII
lagos in Russia are coming to seek
locations for the whole or large parts
OF their communities. 1t was suggest
ed that IL two or three such represen-
tatives could be given free passage
to Hawaii to investigate the conditions
there a considerable number of Rus
sian laborers and their families might
be attracted to the islands as a result
of their reports.
Will you kindly inform me whether
there is any room for such immigra-
ton into the Territory and also
whether, in the case of able-bodied
men and women, the immigration au-
thorities would insist on each one hav-
ing with him fifty dollars.
have the honr to be, sir, your ODE
dent, servant,

PLAN MANY CHANGES
FOR OAHU COLLEGE

"The rumor which is going round
that Pauahi Hail is to be enlarged is
only partially correct" said President
Grifiths of oahu College, yesterday
afternoon. THE hail is to be enlarged
inasmuch as the partition which now
exists will be taken down and one large
room formed, which will be used for
chapel, and for the pupils to study in"
And that is but one of the many
changes which are planned for Puma
hou. Bingham hall is to be made into
school for the commercial pupils and
veranda will be added to make 1t
appear as much like the remainder of
the surrounding buildings as possible.
The money is all raised and plans have
been completed. AS soon as school
closes, work will be begun and 1t Is
expected that all will be completed in
time for the opening of the fall term.
Elaborate plans have been made for
the athletic field but beyond an almost
certainty that the money will be forth
coming from a friend of the school who
is very much interested in sports. moth
ing, financially has been decided. The
plans include a quarter-mlle track, a
pasepah uldihoiu' anu d loo'pail heiu
on which 1t is hoped to have all inter-
scholastic games played. The old
baseball diamond will still be kept and
will be used by the Preparatory pupils
together with those of the college who
care to use 1t.
Water polo, which is taking such a
hold on Honolulu sports, has been
adopted by the Punahou pupils, and the
principal has been asked to have the
tank enlarged in order that the game
may be played and also that swimming
races may be INDUCED in.
1t is also hoped, on the advent of an
athletic court, to install a gymnasium,
not on the lines of the gyms in the
East, but one suitable for this climate,
with airy lockers and well ventilated.

REVERSIBLE ALIMoNY.

A judicial decision which rivals some
of Sancho Panza's rulings in his ISL
ands is reported from Valparaiso, in
the correspondence of German news
paper. The case was that of the wife
of a fisherman and coastwise sailor
who was deserted by her husband
shortly before the birth of their first
child.
The women complained to the author
tiles and the police We're ordered to
keep lookout for the truant. They
got him after n few months, and he
was hailed before the alcalde and con-
fronted with his wife, who carried the
baby in her arms.
The facts In the case We're undeni-
able; the defendant did not attempt to
deny them. 1t seemed as If nothing
remained for the Magistrate but to
assess the amount of alimony.
He paused, however. and reflected
solemnly for a while. Then he asked
the young woman;
What was your occupation before
you married this man."
II was n servant girl. Exeellency,"
she replied.
And what used you earn in those
days?"
Ten pesos month. SIR
How have you supported yourself
since your husband disappeared
Since the birth OF my boy, Excel
lency. | have taken situation as a

And what may be your wages In
that positlon?
Thirty pesos a month, your Honor"
"Ah so, Well IL seems 10 me the
merits of this case are very plain. In
becoming the husband OF this young
woman the prisoner has tripled her
capacity for earning livelihood. He
has plainly conferred a great benefit
upon her for which Il IL only ittlng
that he should be compensated !
