FILIPINO PAPERS AGAINST
MOVEMENT ON HAWAII

but there are yet forty families hope
lessly stranded in San Francisco, and
they are to be given the choice of re-
turning to Hawaii or being deported
to Spain.
1nese laborers say that they were
compelled to work on the plantations
fourteen hours day and to buy their
supplies from the company stores at
exorbitant prices.
Filipino laborers who are dazzled
with the inducements held out to them
by the emissaries of the Hawaiian
sugar planters viii do well to look be-
hind the high wages onered and the
other glittering prospects. The pur-
chase of supplies from company stores

The active propaganda in the Phil
ippines against the labor movement to
Hawaii is revealed in the following ex-
tracts from Manila papers:
Patriotism VS.. Pocket.
Some of the Filipino press make
patritism the basis of an appeal for the
Filipino laborer to repel the advances
of the Hawaiian emissaries. In times
of peace, however, as between patriot
ism and poeket,~it is the pocket that
with ninety-nine men out of a hundred
will win the day. And there is more
than suspicion of selfshness in the
appeal that would ask few thousand
laborers to sacrifice sixteen pesos
month for us, the other seven million,
who in this case, sacrifice nothing. A
fairer way would be to pay them six
teen pesos more month to hold them
here, or, if that can not be done, it
might be practicable to show them, by
letters from their kind now in Hawaii,
that while that country may be the
Paradise of the Pacific, it is not the
paradise of the Filipino laborer.-Phil-
ippine Free Press.

long range target shoot, recently held.
The score of the local men was 652.
while the Washington State guards
men totaled but COL, according TO ad-
vices received yesterday.
The Washingtonians showed their
best work on the 600 yard range At
that distance, they piled up 219 points.
At 2l5 yards, the total was 215, while
at 1000 yards the Washingtonians made
only 167.
The shoot was held as the result of
challenge, received some time ago
from the Washington men. Under the
terms of the agreement, a team of
the ehallengers was to shoot on
Washington military range, and team
of Hawaiian Militiamen was to shoot
on local range. The shoots were to
be held simultaneously.
A week ago Sunday the shooting
was done, and Immediately after the
scores had been made up they were
cabled to Seattle. The Washington
men sent their scores by mail.

Heavy Coal Bill.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 26.-The
cruiser st. Louis, Captain Gleaves,
which has been at anchor off Folsom
street since arriving last Sunday from
Hilo, went to California City yester-
, day afternoon to take in coal, prepare
tory to sailing early next month for
San Pedro, where the warship is to
attend the opening of the government
breakwater.
The st. Louis was necessarily lib
eral in the use of coal on it's run from
Hilo, in order to make the record of
4 days and % hours. There was not
much coal left when It reached this
harbor. The quantity burned on the
run from the island port amounted to
almost exactly 1000 tons, about 200
tons day.

be beaten by the armored cruisers On
