Strong Rumor That Plantations
on Island of Kauai Are to
Join Forces.
REPORT FROM SAN FRANCISCO
Local Agents, However, Say That
They Know Nothing of
Any Merger.

An amalgamation of Makawei and
Island Of Kauai has not only been ru-
mored in Honolulu, but the news that
such a merger may take place in the
near future was made public on Kauai
in the Garden Island of last week
That paper states:
''The head officials of MakaweH and
McBryde plantations will be on the
island this coming week to investigate
the question of the amalgamation OF
the interests of the two companies. 1t
will be very important for the best
good of this island that no obstacles
DE encountered that will discourage
this union of forces, and we shall look
to seeing McBryde plantation, if the
deal goes through, transformed from q
losing proposition, heavily encumbered
with debt, into the second Makaweli
that its splendid area of lands entities
it to be, once a sufficient supply OF
water for its needs shall be obtained.
Kamaainas who returned on the Ala
media state that they heard of the
rur}or such a amalgam&aion while
in San Francisco, and expected, wher
they returned here, to learn that suel
a merger had taken place.
j. 2. Cooke, manager of Alexander
s. Baldwin, agents for the MakaweE
plantation, stated yesterday when ask
ed whether the rumors had any founda
ton:
:" You may state that We, as agents
of Makaweli, know nothing about it. ,
The rumor may have arisen from the
recent negotiations for the transfer o.
the McBryde plantation agency from
Davies & Co. to Alexander & Baldwin
who, as already stated. are the agent
of Makawei, and the fact that the es
tates are close together. There is {
strong feeling here, however, that sueI
an amalgamation is contemplated, an'
viii probably take place in the nea
future.

WASHINGTON, November 29.---Na
new advices have been received here
by the state department relative to the

tiles here are in the dark as to what

The state department is extremely
reticent as to the intentions of this

reported landing of a force of blue
jackets from the cruiser st. Louis are
carefully evaded. This of itself lends
color to the report, and it is the gen.

cruiser has found it necessary to take

who go there at times to get fertilizer.
