First Auto
Engine Fire

Following the opening of the
matches after fumigation on the bark
entine S. N. Castle this morning and
the descent of some men in search
for dead rats, fire was discovered in
the cargo of copra, stored between the
two holds. Efforts were made to
stamp out the burning sacks but the
flames spread rapidly and in few
moments the hold was a sheet of
flames. The men raced for the deck
and turned in an alarm to the fire sta
ton.
Three minutes after the alarm was
given over the telephone two hoses
from the new motor chemical engine
were playing on the flames and held
the fire in check until the big hose
from the steam engines began pouring
water down the holds.
This is the first test the chemical
engines have had and Fire Chief
Thurston states that they have fully
justified everything that was said of
them.
The origin of the fire may have
been spontaneous or it may have
come from burning sulphur which was
used to fumigate the hold. Much dam
age was done and even the mainsail
caught fire. The Castle put in here in
distress some months ago and was
to have left this morning.
A boats crew from the Thetis was
on hand to help shortly after the
alarm was given.

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 25.-
George H., Fairchild of Hawaii has
testified before the House Committee
on immigration in reference to the
literacy test of the proposed immigra-
tion law and why Hawaii should be
specifically exempted from it.
Mr.. Fairchild said that previous
bills had excepted Hawaii, and
chiefly on the following grounds of
propriety: The necessity of counter
acting the Orientals in Hawaii by
persons of Caucasian stock. Orientals
are now slowly decreasing and agri-
cultural families from Portugal and
Spain are taking their places. Eleven

BASEBALL IS REFORMING
THE FILIPlNos.

THE FILIPINos.
Heinrich Miller of Manila, en- route
to Europe, says that American base
ball is capturing the Filipinos. He
says:
"The result of this craze for base
ball has been beneficial in the ex-
treme. Gambling and cockfghting
are no longer the principal amuse-
ments for the young men. The cock
pits are patronized only by the men
too old to learn baseball.
Baseball is waking up the natives,
too. We find the young men who play
baseball are acquiring the American
spirit of hustle. They are better
workers and are getting ambitious
They can't be loafers and play base
ball, and the spirit instllled in them
by that fast game is making real men
out Of them.
TN my opinion baseball may yet
solve the labor problem in the islands
by building up race of men who will
play the game of life like they play
baseball" lys5T

SCHOFTELD BARRACKS, May II,
10 a. m.-Matters ceased abruptly
this morning when Colonel Bell gave
the order for inspection of the troops.
At 1880, the Fifth Cavalry, composing
eleven troops, the band and the sup
ply wagons, lined up for inspection,
the men being mounted. At this hour
the inspection is still proceeding.
The cavalry presented an imposing
sight as they spread across the pla-
teau, the colors flashing in the sun and
the band playing a lively march. The

Gated, many Of the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
~ the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive in it's action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. It is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. Its easy,
natural action makes It especially de.
sirable in the case of children, dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
