Minister Of the Interior
Resigns at Command
of President.

MEXICO CITY, August S.-Revolu-
ton again threatens in Mexico, this
time over the forced resignation Of
Minister of the Interior Gomez, who has
resigned at the request of President
de Ala Barra.
Yesterday the officers of the revOlu-
tiOnary army, angered at the virtual
dismissal of Gomez, who was one Of the
rebel generals chosen by agreement as
cabinet minister, made open threats
of second rebellion.
Information was received in this
city last evening that rebel forces were
gathering and serious reports, many OF
them probably exaggerated, are being
received.

BONDS ARE SIGNED AND
RETURNED TO EAST

Fifteen hundred $1,000 bonds, duly
signed by Registrar of Public Accounts
Henry Hapai, were sent to New York
on the Sierra yesterday. There they
win be signed by Treasurer Conkling.
The Governor expects the money will
be obtained by the middle of the month,
possibly August 10.
Henry Hapai had hand-tiring job
in signing his name 1900 times and also
enclosing each of the 1900 bonds with
the official seal He completed the
monotonous job in eight hours in the
presence of L. Abrams, secretary of the
Hawaiian Trust Company, accredited
representative of the United States
Mortgage and Trust Company.
Previously, when territorial loans
have been hoated, the big New York
company sent a personal representative
to witness the official signing aud seal
ing. On this occasion it entrusted the
work TO the Hawaiian Trust Company
thus paying a distinct compliment to
that concern.
The bonds were received at noon
Tuesday, from the postofIice, and the
work Of signing them was oyer by ten

PORT AU PRINCE, August s.--Pres-
ident Simon, of Hayti, gave up all hope
of resisting the rebels, who have in
vaded this city, and yesterday made his
escape to a steamer in the harbor with
his family and few adherents.
The rebel soldiers rushed to the
waters edge and fired on the party as
it made its escape with the result that
six men were killed and daughter Of
President Simon was slightly wounded.
The Haitian government has fallen
and the capital is entirely in the hands
of the revolutionary party. just what
government will be established by the
victorious rebels is unknown as there
are several rivals for the presidency
among the rebel generals.

GOVERNOR REGRETS
HOMESTEAD FEUDS
GOOD DEAL TO BE SAID BY BOTH
SIDES TO TROUBLE, HE
REMARKS.

"No one regrets more than l do the
attitude of each side toward the other,
but that question, and also the ques-
tiOn as to how far different ones, are
entitled to their patents are matters
1 was not concerned with when gave
my interview"
Thus stated Governor Walter F..
Frear when seen yesterday afternoon
regarding the comment of G. w. Ash
ford, attorney for the Thompson Set
Element Association, on the Governor s
statements regarding homesteading,
published in The Sunday Advertiser.
In that statement the Governor mem
toned no names. Attorney Ashford,
however, wrote long letter to The
Advertiser in which he set forth tine
grounds of complaint which the Thomp-
son Settlement Association feels it has
against the Hutchinson Sugar Planta'
ton company. These articles have been
extensively copied and have been the
subject of much discussion.
''There is good deal that each side
, can say about the other on the question
of each toward the other,' continued
the Governor, "but cannot go into
those matters,
Fair Presentation.
The Governor added that Mr.. Ash
| ford made a very fair presentation Of
| the matter from the standpoint of the
settlement association and might have
brought out a good deal more along the
same line concerning the plantation
manager. He added:
Mr.. Ashford 8 statements were nat
urally ex parte, and while he nigh
have gone further, there is also muel
that could be said ON the other sid,
| of the subject of the feud
| "But while in the past the home
steaders have been chiefly the ones oil
trial, in the future it will probably b.
the plantation that will be chiefly OF
trial"
No Prosecutions.
Asked if it was possible for tn
homesteaders to have fulfilled the con
ditions of their leases in the face o
! absolute antagonism from the planta
ton, the Governor replied:
81 do not know. One thing, how
ever, IS certain, and that is that al
of the members went into the matte
with their eyes wide open. The.
knew what to expect from the planta
tion from the start. Also it might b
asked, why did they see fit to max
thnce-year lease for the handling o
their cane without the approval o
the government, instead of making
for, say, single crop ~
Attorney General Lindsay stated tina
the government is not prosecuting an.
of the homesteaders in any section. Tn
status of various cases has been stud
led, and certain demands for patent
have been or will probably be, with
held. The way will then be open 70
brine 1g the matter into the courts
The arritory is anxious to have thes
legal points brought before the suprem
court for decision on an agreed state

KOREAN DELEGATE
IS COMING HERE
FROM YUCATAN

The local Korean newspaper has pub
lished the prospective departure of
Korean from the Korean colony at
Yucatan for Hawaii to act as a dele
gate on behalf Of his colntrymen
there.
1t is understood that local Koreans
will pay the expenses of this man, but
as this will be a possible violation of
the immigration laws, a means to help
him get here is being devised by his
friends. This delegate has already been
selected and might possibly be on his
way at this time.
His purpose in coming is to attempt
to make arrangements whereby the
large colony of Koreans who have been
little more than serfs on Mexican
plantations can come to Hawaii
1t is believed locally that their con
tracts" are up and that they are free
to do as they please, a false liberty
that is narrowly bounded by the ex-
tent Of their finances, which are just
at present nil
1t viii be remembered that the KOre-
ans claim that these colonies were in
tToduced into Mexico by Japanese who
practically handled Them as slaves,
shanghaiing, them TO the southern re-
public after promising to take them
to Hawaii.

CAUSE
OF MUCH SUFFERING
HUMANE OFFICER SUGGESTS NEW
LEGISLATION TO SAVE
ANIMALS.

That nails, bits of glass, pieces OF
sharp wire and other substances, care
lessly left on thoroughfares, work great
injury and sometimes lead to the death
of horses, was pointed out by Humane
Officer Rose G. Dawson at a meeting
of the Humane Association held at
three o'clock yesterday afternoon. She
says her attention has been repeatedly
called to the matter within the past few
months.
In some cities on the mainland there
are ordinances forbidding the scatter
ing of nails, glass or similar rubbish on
the public streets and she suggests
similar legislation here. She thinks
were the matter brought to the atten-
ton of business men they would readi-
" cooperate.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1911-08-04
Alternatives.

fThe other system proposed is an.
intercepting sewer running along the
low lands from Moanalua to pumping
station on the EVA side of Nuuanu
Stream, and then through force main
only few feet below the street grade,
to the present sewer outfall. The
pumping costs would be no greater
than if all the sewage was coneentrat.
ed at the present station. This system
would intercept the present Kalihi
sewer which now discharges into Ka-
lihi Bay.
"This construction is practically
arbitrary, as an outfall sewer could
not be constructed over and across the
quarantine station, for should the
United States government ever dredge
the proposed channel between Kalihi
and Honolulu harbor the outfall would
be cut off; even if this channel were
never dredged, the expense of this out
fall must be considered. An oltfall in
any portion of the Kalihi section is
also prohibited by reason of expense
and many other undesirable features.
The present location of the sewer out
fall is IDEAL

Deterrent Effect.
Miss Dawson also reported that
Deterrent Erect.

Miss Dawson also reported that the
deterrent effect of her work is becom-
ing manifest, resulting in comparative
ly few cases of cruelty to animals be-
ing reported within the past two
months. Overlooking, especia y, is not
so common now. Drivers are realizing,
she says, that when, the grade is at all
steep it is necessary to double up. The
Japanese are doing good work along
this line although formerly Asiatics
were the worst offenders.
Owing to complaints concerning con-
ditions at Waterfowl Miss Dawson
spent part of July 26 there but only
found four animals out of twenty to be
in condition causing her to order them
to be put out of business. Later she
investigated the loading of the stages
and found conditions which call for
correction, some of the stage horses be-
ing obliged to haul too much freight.

Two Systems.

At present all of the sewage of the
city of Honolulu is carried to the low
er level intereepters and then pumped
/ believe that the higher levels Of the
city could be taken care of by grav-
ity, thereby eliminating a large pump,
ing expense. II would divide por-
tion OF the city into nigh and low

ity main would discharge into the sew

The outfall.


"With the outfall pressure pipe in
perfect condition, and the sewage dis.
charged into deep water, the currents
carry it away and none of the solid
matter or refuse of any character is
returned to the shores. 1 am con
WINGED, after a careful analysis of the
entire scheme, extending over a period
of many years, that the outfall Of the
entire sewerage system of the city Of
Honolulu should be at its present loca.
tion. The advantage would be that
there would only be one outfall for
the city. The present oatfall pipe has
parted in several sections and must be
either repaired or replaced. Ii it is
TO be replaced, and that at present is
my Judgment, it then can be replaced
with an outfall Of sufficient size to
take care of all the possible wants of
the city of Honolulu from Diamond
Head to Moanalua.
THE map also shows several pro-
jected lines of intercepting sewer from
Waikiki to the sewer Pumping Station.
This matter is purely a question of
route. 1t is possible to take an of
the sewage Of Waikiki, Kaimnl5i, Ma
noa and the lOw.lying fats with the
scheme as outlined in the accompany
ing map The district lying so1th OF
the divide between Kaimuh Crater
and Diamond Head, must have sep

GETTING READY TO
 CHECK PETITION
The Names Are. Being Arranged By Precincts Before the Real
 Work Begins

The preliminary work of checking the petition filed in the probate court by the local option committee is being completed as rapidly as four clerks can do 1t.
 The names are being arranged alpha betically and by precincts. This prelim- mary work is necessary for the proper and expeditions checking up of the list. as on many of them the signers of the same list live in different precincts.
 The work of listing the names was started Monday and satisfactory progress has been made thus far. As soon as the petition has been listed Judge ]. F. Stiles will personally direct the checking up of the names and passing on their quail fieations. The time 1t will take to com pete the investigation of the petition cannot be determined but 1t is stated that the work will be as expeditions as the circumstances will permit, as Judge Stiles proposes to ecomply with all the require- ments of the law in the case.
