AMERICAN NAVY NOW
HAS FEW FOREIGNERS

A local naval officer, in going over
the statistics of the American navy, has
found some interesting data on the ma
tionahty of the bluejackets and ma
rines. A book on naval matters writ
ten by French officer, which he has
been reading, throws striking compar-
ative statement in contrast with the
present figures. The French writer, in
referring to the beginning of the Span
ish war in 1898, quotes the Spanish
Minister of Marine as saying, in a com
munication to Admiral Cervera, that he
had nothing to fear from the American
feet as its sailors were largely mer-
cenaries and drafted from all nations
of the globe, intimating that the ma
tiye-born Americans were in the mi
noFity. That was true to some extent
then.
The annual report of Rear-Admiral
Pillsbury, Chief of the Bureau of Navi-
cation, shows that the American navy
now has total of over $4,000 men, 95
per cent. of whom are citizens of the
United States. The pure native-born
Americans in the navy comprise 81 per
cent. of the total of 39,04S men, and
the naturalized citizens per cent,
making total percentage of 95.
There are Il, 1854 petty officers. Many
of these are old-time memo '-warsmen,
who enlisted in the days when sailors
were of any nationality. But even
with this large number the native-born
form so per cent; naturalized, 17.4 per
cent; declared intentions, IL per cent;
aliens resident in the United States,
3 per cent; natives of colonial posses
sions, z per cent; total of citizens
of the United States of 98 per cent.
Of the various distinctions of color in
the service, 35,971 are white; colored,
1867; Indian, 10; Chinese, 2S6; Japan
ese, 271; Filipinos, 455; Hawaiians, %;
Chimmoras (Guam), 3S; Samoans, 81;
Porto Ricans, 46; Costa Ricans, l.
OF $1,000 applications for enlistment
last year $4,000 were rejected, indicat-
ing that only the pick of the applicants
are being selected, the physical exami

SHIPPERS AND
THE A.-H. LINE
San Francisco Opinion on the
Sudden Increase of
Charges.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.-GossiI
was rife yesterday concerning the
forces back of the proposal of the
American Hawaiian Steamship Com
pany to increase eastbound rates affect
ing California commodities, the consen'
sus of opinion being that the advance
is no less than piece of strategy, and
that the great railroad interests have
crushed the precious independence of
the big ocean freight line.
The suggestion that the Hartman in
terests have purchased the control, or
any part of the steamship company is
lacking official confirmation, but it is
believed in most business circles that
the proposed increase of rates is the
direct outgrowth of traffic agreement
dictated by the transcontinental rail
roads
By what means the Hartman inter
ests have succeeded in perfecting the
suspected traffic arrangement, under
which the American Hawaiian company
will follow whatever advances of rates
are made by the transeontinental rail
roads, is something which none can
, suggest, let alone explain. But it is
said there is the knowledge that an
officer of the Southern Pacific Company
a month ago made the statement that
the Hartman railroads did dominate
the steamship line, and that its rates
would be raised.
The rates viii be raised, according
to Allen NJ. Sutton, the general freight
agent of the American Hawaiian COM
pany.
The rates, furthermore, will be rails
ed, it is said, about the day on which
the advanced tariffs of the transcon-
tinental lines will go into effect.
And, moreover, the rates, Sutton has
admitted, viii correspond in most par
tieulars to the railroads 10 per cent.
horizontal increase, and as far as is
now known, they will affect only Cali
fornia and only California products.
Significance in Admissions.
These startling admissions, coming as
a sequence to the reported boast of
a high Southern Pacific officer that the
Hartman railroads had already pro-
vided for an increase of the rates of
the American-Hawaiian Steamship COM
pany are alive with significance, say
shippers.
''There is no question but that there |
has been a traffic agreement made,
says Joseph Durney, director of the |
Merchants Exchange.
Il can see the strength of the Ha-
riman interests in this proposed in
crease of rates of the American
ian company" says Albert Frank, vice
president of the big tanning firm of |
s. H. Frank & Co. evidently the !
advance of rates was planned long ago |
and it is the purpose to exact tax
from us IN one way if not in another
obviously the railroads and the
steamship line have come together

California Traffic Association.

ideas prevalent in the United States.
But think of the turbulent
Moros, you say. Would we not be
turbulent if foreigners invaded this
country, seized our lands and property,
demanded that we pay tribute? All
the Moros ask is to be let alone.

American government in the Philip

stones throw of a church was muir

summer.

you read dispatch from the islands
saying that his body had just been
found I know the truth about that
incident. Not later than June 80 /
met the man who was sent out to find
that body on the road to Manila with
it. He had it with him then. But it
was not expedient that you should hear
the truth about it before election.
Now comes the faxed dispatch. This
is an example of American politics,
statecraft, Imperialism and censorship
that we are inficting on the Philip
pines. -
The professor gave individual in
stances of the industry, morality, in
telligence and executive capability of
the wild tribes, mentioning as proofs
of civilization the fact that he had
met pagan Igorrotes worth S50,0W
gold, and Moros worth hundreds Of

PUBLIC LANDS AND
PLAGUE MONEY
Governor Frear at Work on
These important
Subjects.

Governor Frear seems to be at work
in Washington in an effort either to
have the Territory reimbursed for
some of its expenditures in protecting
the Pacific Coast from plague and
other diseases from the Orient, or
else to have it relieved from the bur-
den of such expenditures in the fu-
ture Acting Governor Mott-Smith re-
ceived the following cablegram from
him early yesterday morning:
Washington, D. c., December Is.
email Land Commission report to
Senator Foraker and Representative
Hamilton.
"Cable approximate amounts paid
by merchants and Territory in re in
fectious diseases other than leprosy
since 1900.
"Perhaps 60 New York Thursday.
"FREAR.
Senator Foraker is chairman of the
Senate Committee on Pacific Islands
and Porto Rico, and Representative
Hamilton is chairman of the House
Committee on Territories. 1t is these
committees which will consider the
amendments to the Organic Act which
the Governor has drafted What these
amendments are no one here knows,
except In the vague way that they are
drawn for the purpose of permitting
the Legislature to amend our public
land laws. They were drafted by Gov
ernor Frear on his way to the Coast.
No copies of the drafts in their final
shape have been received here, SO far
as known.
AS to the matter of infectious dis
eases. whenever any of the Pacific.
Coast cities have had cases of plague
the Federal authorities have taken
hold, spent Federal money, and lots of
it, and given the cities an entire clean
ing up. DR.. Cofer was sent from here
to Seattle to take charge of the work
there, and thousands of dollars of
United States money was spent in the
work. But when the same thing has
happened here, the Territory has been
left to put up the funds itself with
which to make the fight. At the same
time it is universally admitted that
this is an outpost that is of great ser
vice in protecting the Coast cities.
Acting Governor Mott-Smith ex-
presses the belief that the Governor is
seeking Federal aid in this very i'm
portant matter of fighting infectious
and quarantinable diseases. The Mer-
chants Association and the Chamber |
of Commerce will be communicated !;
with to furnish the information de-
sired.
From the last sentence of the cable !
it is thought that the Governor means /
he will start for home by way of New /
York and in that case viii arrive here |

HUMAN BEAST SENTENCED.
Lewis Wingate of Virginia Tortured
His Son to Death.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDEPENDENCE, Va. July LEWIS
Wingate son Of a wealthy planter of
Grayson county. was today adj ;e1
guilty of the murder of his son Roy
and his punishment fixed at eighteen
years in the state penitentiary. Win
gate collapsed when the sentence Of the
court was pronounced. He had been
breaking down gradually since the be-
ginning of the trial a week ago. His
wife and parents were with him when
the end came. An attempt was made to
prove that the man was insane at the
time Of the mistreatment of the lad. but
the testimony of expert alienists show
ed that his mind is now and has been
normally sound.
Roy Wingate died of inhuman, cruel
treatment at the hands of his father.
1t was shown that he had been packed
in an icebox without food by his in
human parent until nearly starved, and
that after being released he was chain
ed to q chest and his teeth extracted
with blacksmith tongs because he had
eaten scraps from a slOp bucket to ap-
pease his great hunger. The body Of
the boy was exhumed after it had been
buried and the evidence of cruel treat
ment proven.
1t was necessary to guard Wingate
from the fury Of the people during the
trial.
