PURSE TEMPTED
A HUNCHBACK
tFrom Thursdays AdvertIser.)

All Yum, little hunchback hape-
pake boy, who has been bootblack
and street-roamer, was taken in by the
police yesterday on charge of lar
ceny.
All Yum watched the steamship
Asia depart for Yokohama on Tuesday
afternoon. He waited ON the wharf
outside the shed watching for oppor-
tunities to hold horses of hackmen, for
which he would be paid small fee.
A surrey belonging to family in Ma
kiki was among the vehicles on the
wharf. The lady who drove it left
her purse on the seat when she went
into the shed. All Yum saw the purse,
opened it and distracted a $40 gold
piece. He ran away from the wharf
and hid the money under beam in a
deserted room of Kakaako house.
When confronted with proof of his
guilt, All Yum broke down and con-
fessed to the theft; and led the Off
GERS to the place where he had con-
cealed the coin and turned it over to
them.

tween the site and Queen street and
another strip between the site and Mi
lilani street, there being a considerable
width to the strip left between the
Waikiki boundary of the site and the
Opera House. The small gore left be-
tween the front line of the offered site
and the street line is not included in
the property proposed to be sold, but
will be, on agreement, given to the
Territory to widen the Palace Square
before the site. The line of the street
then will be where recommended by
George Milford Robinson.
When Mr.. Robinson planned that
street line, however, which is on line
with the corner of the Kawaiahao
church property, to give view to the
Lunalilo tomb, it was also his recon-
mendation to have the Opera House
removed, the square widened straight
through and the garage removed. The
street line as shown in the map, if
adopted, will now only throw the
Opera House out in front of the street
line and make an awkward and un-
beautiful jog.
At the present time, and without
any particular promise of improve
ment, the makai and Waikiki sides of
the Federal building, if erected on the
Irwin site, would be lined with untidy
shacls, laundries and such. In dis
tinction to the fact that the Mahuka
site is surrounded by some of the best
buildings in the city, substantial bus
mess blocks, the Irwin site has facing
it saloon, laundry, iron foundry and
buildings neither beautiful nor impos-
ing.
All these things are to be brought
I'd the attention of the authorities at
Washington, and to Congress, should
this latter become necessary.

the Merchants Association is going

The Association has prepared map
of the proposed Irwin site, the purpose
being primarily to show misinformed

Cheer Result

PORT Az PRINCE, Haiti. December II.
Gen. Antoine Simon. the leader of the
last revolution in Haiti, that resulted in
the flight of President Nord Alexis from
the capital, and who made his triumphal
entry into Port au Prince ten days ago,
was today unanimously elected president
of the republic by the Haitian congress.
AS soon as the result of election be-
came known the great crowd that had
assembled outside the parliament building
broke into cheers, and salutes were fired
from the forts and the Haitian gunboats
In the harbor.
The other aspirants to the presidency
did not come forward actively. The rea-
son for this course was the fear that an
other outbreak of the disorder would re-
suit in American Intervention.
CAPE HAITIEN. December 1.-THE
American cruiser Tacoma arrived here yes
terday from Port au Prince and other
coast points and will remain at Cape
Haitien until the election of Gen. Antoine
Simon is completed.
No serious disorders are anticipated but
in order to be on the safe side some of
the followers of Gen. Firmin have been
placed under arrest and a local militia
organization. composed of young men of
the best families of Cape Haiten, has
been temporarily deprived of it's rifles
and ammunition.

ington that had the United States taken
any forceful steps against Venezuela in
the effort to have it's claims against that
country arbitrated Castro would have be-
come veritable hero in the eyes of the
people there.
1t is possible even that. anticipating
such an attitude, the administration has
been Indifferent to pushing a demand for
settlement. Now that Castro has left
the country, the strong influence he ex-
erted over his people. in the minds of the
officials, appears to be waning.
Disposition to Ignore Castro.
Some interest is manifested at the State
Department in the unofficial press re-
ports that Castro might seek alliance
with Germany. The report lacks any sub
sanitation, so far as any State Depart
ment advices go.
The department has felt that the stu
alton in Venezuela would gradually work
itself out. For this reason there has
been a persistent determination to ignore
President Castro and look with equanim-
ity on the doings of foreign governments
in their efforts to get satisfaction from
him for alleged wrongs SO long as there
is no interference with American inter-
ests and no violation of the Monroe doc
trine.

CASTRO REFUSES TO TALK.
Doubts Correctness of Outbreak
Against Him in Venezuela.

Special Cablegram to The Star
BERLIN, December 17.-President
Castro of Venezuela, when interviewed
this morning. refused to talk about the
recent riots against him at Caracas, re-
marking that he had received no infor-
nation concerning them. He also re-
fused to discuss the seizures of the
Venezuelan coast guard vessels by the
Dutch warships, but authorized the
for him. The charge de affaires ex-
pressed doubts Oh the correctness of
the dispatches to the newspapers con-
corning events taking place in VeneZu-
ella despite the fact that they were
charge, still holding his doubts con-
corning the reports, said that if the
seizures had taken place they were
sheer acts of piracy as no declaration
of war or any blockade had been pro-
claimed. These measures on the part
of the Netherlands. he added, were un-
worthy Of any enlightened or civilized
country and would jeopardize the ne
gotiations which Venezuela was carry
ing on with the Netherlands through
confidential agents.
These measures, the charge further
added. might result in rendering the
tinue her indemnity payments, thus
prejudicing her interests with the
other powers. In view of this aspect
of the case the Venezuelan government
had communicated these facts to the
diplomatic corps at Caracas and was
awaiting a reply before taking any fur

STATE OF WAR EXISTS
Notice Given by venezueIa's
Acting President Gomez.
DUE TO DUTCH BLOCKADE
News of Declaration Received From
Legation at Bogota.
CABLE TO STATE DEPARTMENT
Washington Officials Surprised at
Outbreak in Caracas Against
President Castro.
CABLE TO STATE DEPARTMENT

Vice President Gomez's declaration of
some days ago. declaring Venezuela to be
in "a state of Defense" evidently has been
construed In some circles as meaning a
state of war. That inference is apparent
~ justified by a dispatch which came to
the State Department today from Paxton
Hibben. secretary of the United States
legation at Bogota, in the United States
of Colombia, transmitting a telegram re-
ceived by the minister of foreign affairs
of that country from Caracas dated the
14th instant. That telegram says:
'In view Of the blockade established
and the capture by the blockade of q
Venezuelan vessel the head of the gov
eminent of Venezuela, after assuming ex-
traordinary powers for the defense of the
country, has declared state of war
The statement of Gomez followed the
news in Caracas Of the capture of the
coast-guard ship Alexis. which, he said,
was considered a true invasion of Vene-
Zuelan territory and an aggression against
the Venezuelan government.
Surprise to Officials Here.
The stirring events in Caracas are some
ton, where it had been generally expected
that any manifestation of hostile acts by
a foreign power against Venezuela would
have the result of solidifying all elements
of the people and make them rally vigor-
ously to President Castro and his govern
ment. That they have not done so, but
on the contrary have engaged in riotous
demonstrations against his interests and
those of his friends, Is quite mex plica BILE to
the authorities here.
