ARMY COAL MINES
ARE SHUT DOWN
Miners Are Laid of Until Test
Of Philippine Veins Is
Made.

MANILA, August 9.-The army coal
mines on Batan Island have been clos
ed by order Of the division commander
and nearly all of the miners have been
discharged. The work of exploration
has completely stopped and all of the
expensive drills and mining machinery
have been stored.
This action has been taken on &C.
count of the uncertain knowledge of
the mines and on account of the poor
showing the veins have been making,
according to the army officer who has
just returned from that place.
The whole district within which the
government concession is located win
be mapped and an expert examination
of the workings thus far and the re-
suits of drilling will be carefully made
and forwarded to Washington, where
the authorities will determine what
they will do in the matter.
The transport Wright which has
been supplying coal to the army posts
near BataR as well as burning the
coal under its own boilers, in the flu
ture will be supplied with coal at Ma
Mia.
Over two years ago the government
imported some very excellent diamond
drills, one of which had a boring capa.
city of 1000 feet, but after drilling %
holes it was decided to quit drilling
with this machine on the very difficult
ground and the drills and machinery
were packed away, as the tests from
the drilling were unsatisfactory.
The following officers have been or
dered to Batan Island for the purpose
of making complete survey of the
coal claims in that region:
Lieuts. George b. Hunter and Will
liam d. Geary, 18th Cavalry; William
B. Loughborough, Bird Infantry and
Theodore II. Dillon, Artillery Corps.

KAHAKULOA LANDS
SEEM DIMINUTIVE
Great Excitement Over Tract
Subdivided Into Hog
Pen Lots.

The opening up of the Kahakuloa
valley lands for homestead entries has
given the nd-hungry the lOnged-for
opportunity to file on rich government
lands, although any farmer from the
States would wonder where all the ex-
element could find room to stand on
the wee bits of farms rated at valu-
alton of one hundred dollars an acre,
says the Maui News.
The entire area of the rich tarO land
in the well-watered valley of Kahaku-
loa is little less than nine acres, sub
divided into fifty.nine farms of the
average size of fifteen hundredths of
an acre apiece, although the biggest
farm has an area Of $4,000 square feet
and tho smallest actually covers eight
hundred square feet of ground, or in
other words is forty feet by twenty
feet in size, which is barely a tenth
of the area of decent sized town lot.
Under the homestead conditions of
having to live on the land and cult.
vate the same too the lucky winner
of the forty-foot farm win have to
put his house up on stills over his tarC

ond condition Of cultivating it too
otherwise the house site will monopo
lie the entire area leaving him liable
to be Ousted for noncompliance with
the cultivating requirements
One applicant for said homesteads
thinks he has a workable solution OF
the problem. He Is confidently telling
his friends that he intends 10 file an
entry on four separate farms, and by
using one for house lot, another for
q pasture for his pigs and horses, he
win cultivate the remaining two

BURGLAR MAKES A
HAUL IN K0HALA

News has been received by Sheriff
Pua of burglary which was made on
the Hawaiian Mercantile Company's
store at Kohala on the night Of Sunday
of last week, reports the Hilo Tribune.
On Monday morning, when the deed
was discovered, it was found that en-
trance had been effected through win
dow, the pane having been smashed by
the intruders. A large amount of mer-
chandise, including shirts, underwear,
trousers, sheeting, blankets and similar
goods, had been taken, indicating that
more than one person had been impli-
Gated in the robbery.
The police found that certain Ko-
rean had been selling stuff of the kind
which was missing among his fellow
countrymen, but the fellow had by this
time become suspicious and had made
tracks out of the district. He was
finally caught at Kawaihae, where he
had gone to catch the steamer. It is
reported that he confessed that he had
entered the store and had taken the
goods, and that he implicated two other
Koreans, who, he said, acted as his con-
federates by helping him pack the plum
der away from the store. All three men
have been placed under arrest.

matter which may 60 to the supreme
court for settlement, namely, whether
OF not the Organic Act and the Organic
Act amendments, az affecting public
lands here, mean that the revenue shall
be devoted to homesteading
Campbell says that il is his opinion
that congress practically intended MAX
ing a territorial appropriation of $780,
600 year for homestead purposes. "If
l am right he says, 'the general land
problems in connection with homestead
ing will be much easier Of solution"
The laws referred to are as follows:

States relative to public lands shall not
apply to such lands in the Hawaiian
Islands, but the congress Of the United
States shall enact special laws for their
management and disposition. Provided,

thereof as may be used or occupied for
civil, military or naval purpose of the
United States, OF may be assigned for
the use Of the local government, shall
be used solely for the benefit of the in
habitants of the Hawaiian Islands for
educational and other public purposes. -
Joint Resolution to provide for an
nexing the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States, approved by the Presi.
dent July z, 1898.
Gan funds arising from the sale OF
lease or other disposal of such lands

nc he 8
and applied to such uses and purposes
for the benefit of the inhabitants of the
Territory of Hawaii as are consistent
with the joint resolution of annexation,
approved July seventh, eighteen hun.
dred and ninety eight. Amended Or

cit shall be the duty Of the commits
sioner Of public lands to cause to be
surveyed and opened for homestead
entry a reasonable amount of desirable

for homestead purposes on or Before
January first, nineteen hundred and
eleven, and he shall annually thereafter
cause to be surveyed for homestead
purposes such amount of agricultural
lands and pastoral lands in various
parts of the Territory as there may be
demand for by persons having the
qualifications of homesteaders; and in
laying out any homestead the commits
sioner of public lands shall include
therein an amount, not exceeding eighty
acres in area, sufficient to support there
on an ordinary family; and all neces

K0HALAITES WONDER
ABOUT WOODS DITCH

The Kohala Midget, which is on the
ground, appears to know no moro about
the new Woods ditch than those away
from the district, referring to the irri.
cation project as Chat mysterious
ditch" and saying:
Just who are financing the ditch
and where its waters are to be used
people are trying to guess. Mr.. Woods
and all connected are mum.
Being a storm water ditch, it could
not be depended upon for a crop of
cane. One guess is that Mr. Woods is
going TO grow cotton.''
The Midget hints further at ditch
Implications, saying:
cit is rumored that the new Upper
KOhala Ditch is held up completely,
through the failure of the company to
secure certain right of way. There g
many slip 'twixt the ditch and the
crop"

.AFF0NS0'S JOB
IS IN DANGER
Two Aspirants for His Seat in
the House-0ppOsitlOn
Is Very Strong.
Especial to Tho Advortiser.)

HlIO, September &c. +. Alfonso,
who represented this district in the
lower house of the legislature last SEES.
sion may not be returned this year, IL
the plans of some Of his many oppo-
nents and of one or two aspirants for
legislative honors carry.
Cabrinha and Osorio are the two
likeliest candidate to succeed Alfonso
and each of them is confident Of nom
ination and election. Osorio stated
this week that he had the election
cinchcd and that Alfonso was out Of
the running. His confidence, however,
is not shared by some Others, who think
that Osorio, though q much filter can
didate than Alfonso, stands little
chance of picking the plum.
Cabrinha is looked upon as a strong
legislative possibility and his friends
are predicting that he will have a walk
away. Each of the three men is work
ing hard for nomination and the fight,
which has resolved itself into wide
split among the Portuguese community,
is rapidly becoming both warm and in
teresting.
Alfonso himself is we'll pleased with
himself as a solon and with the results
of his work in the Legislature last SEES
sion--he succeeded in getting n Jail
and a cemetery-but there are quite a
number of tho voters OF Hilo who
feel that, while il may be interesting
to watch the antics of the village cut.up
while he is on his own stamping
grounds, it might be as we'll to have
this district represented in the legis.
lature by a more substantial and solid
man instead Of by the one who became
known as the Jester of the house.

HILO DISAPPOINTED
AT NOT SEEING KUHI0

HILO, August 30.-There mas been
considerable disappointment at the
news that Delegate Kuhio viii not ar
rive here tomorrow, as all arrangements
had been made for his visit even to the
issuing of invitations to the reception
that was to have been given him at
the Armory tomorrow night. They read
as follows:

the appreciation which the citizens

ed by onr Delegate in the recent

However, it win be easy to give no
tice that the invitations are good fQl
next week. and all other arrangements
will stand over except such floral dee
orations as may have been completed
at the Armory.

HILo, September 2.-The Hilo rail
road extension toward Hamakua fin
ished laying another two miles Of track
yesterday, being now up to Kapue
Gulch, across which is situated tho
onomea Sugar Company's Office. A
week ago yesterday the last bolt was
riveted in the big Honolii bridge, and
in the intervening week two miles of
track have been laid, and on Thursday
afternoon, September /, the good citi.
Gems of PRpaikou were startled to hear
a locomotive whistling like all pos
sessed across their peaceful gulch. This
morning the assembling Of the material
for the erection of the Kapue bridge
began, the big portable derrick, which
lifts the massive bridge girders into
place, being brought forward from Ho-
nolii.
The first carload of freight over the
new line goes out tomorrow morning,
the 0nomea Sugar Company taking a
carload of lumber. Superintendent
Filler expects to run several excursion
trains over the line next week, stopping
at the various points Of interest along
the line, and will commence running
regular trains in a week or so.
The Volcano.
Kilauea has been intensely active
during the past week, the glare at night
being plainly visible from Hilo. The
great lake Of boiling lava is now nearly
thousand feet in diameter. It rose
to within about ten feet Of the banks
during the week, and then sank again
to a depth of about forty feet below
the edge of the bank. 1t is boiling
nearly all over its surface most of the
time, with larger jets and fountains at
different points. All the visitors who
came up by the Mauna Kea express
themselves as being delighted with the
spectacle.
Mauna Kea's New Schedule.
The announcement that the Mauna
Kea win run a special trip to meet
each Sierra, arriving at HilO in time
to give Sierra passengers close con-
nection with the railroad to the vol.
cano, and taking them back on a close
schedule from the volcano, has caused
considerable head-shaking in Hilo, for
where does Hilo get Off But the peo-
pie of Hilo are inclined to approve Of
the proposition, for it will be the en-
tering wedge for twice-a-week service
of the Mauna Kea, which will eventu-
ally be made permanent and an every
week affair, which is what Hilo wants.

MExICO'S TOTAL POPULATION
Is OVER 100000
Returns Have Been RECEIVED From
Every State Except Zacatecas.

Returns Have Been Received From
Every State Except Zacatecas.
Mexico City. Dec 30.-One stagle
state in the republic is holding the bu-
reauN of statistics from giving out the
official census figures showing the en-
tire population of the country That
state is Zacatecas- All the others sent
in their statements with more or less
hardness, but up TO yesterday overy-
one except Zacatecas was in.
Zacatecas, according to the census
OF 1900, gave a population of 49,. 100.
Now it is estimated that, If any change
is made, there will be an increase of
probably $4,000. making a total for
this census of 527, 100.
However, it may be remarked that
the capital of Zacatecas in 1900, had
S2,S66. and this year only gave U.s.
905, q decrease of 1851. This may ac-
count for the fact that as a mining
town during the last few years, the
works in that district have decreased
considerably and the majority of peo-
pie who earned their living from the
mines had to emigrate to some other
place.
The total census returns of the re-
public Of Mexico in 1900 showed a to-
tai Of 1867, 25e. Now it is estimated
it will be over 100000
