this Bradley made a final payment Of

STAR BUILDING.
IS FAST RISING

The new building in Merchant street
which will house the Hawaiian Star
in the early spring is progressing
rapidly and is much nearer completion
than a casual examination would lead
one to believe. Ripley and Reynolds,
the architects in charge of the work.
are pleased with the progress that the
builders are making and are certain
that it will be ready for occupation
by April and possibly before. At pres
ent it looks as though the erection
of one-story temporary frame shack
was the extent of the work, but this
frame work conceals the concrete
walls which have been completed to
the second story and in the rear. The
press and composing rooms are al
ready walled in to their full height
The Lord-Young Engineering Company
is doing the work and the builders are
pushing forward this structure and
the new College of Hawaii with equal
speed and efficiency.

members of Congress to nullify the
law regarding the participation of the
military in politics.
This move convinced the State De-
partment that the situation was the
most serious that has presented itself
since the veterans move began. 1t
has been evident to the department
that President Gomez practically was
powerless to resist the movement un-
less he received substantial support
from the outside.
The declared purpose of some Of
the veterans to make ineligible for
public service a large element of the
population because they sided with
Spain in the revolution had been
pointed out as inconsistent with the
individual freedom and rights guaran-
teed by the constitution of Cuba. The
United States regarded the activity of
the veterans as likely to threaten the
stability of the republic, and hence
the sharpness of the warning issued
today, the United States being by
treaty bound to see that the Cuban
constitution is observed.
Perhaps Last Warming.
The State Department has turned
to the treaty, and after careful
study of the obligations imposed il
concluded that the time had come to
serve warning that for the second
land perhaps the last time" the Unit
ed States was prepared to intervene
in Cuba if necessary.
HAVANA, January 16.-The news
of threatened Intervention by the
United States in Cuban affairs, which
is published in the late editions of
the Havana afternoon papers, caused
intense excitement in the clubs and
cafes, while in all places of public
gathering it was the absorbing topic
of discussion. Astonishment and re-
sentiment against American interior
ence were mingled with general in
credulity.
Later, as the news was fully con
irmed, the impression became gen
eral that the suggestion of interven-
ton probably would have a good ef-
feet in calming the existing veteran
agitation and in quieting political ex-
element.
President Gomez said tonight:
81 have only recently received Sec
rotary Knoxs note through the Amer
lean Minister, and have not yet made
a reply, but probably will do so to-
morrow. l am convinced that no oc-
casion has yet arisen for any intima-
ton of intervention. l believe that
the Washington Governments atti-
tude is based upon an erroneous view
of conditions in Cuba, arising from
distorted and greatly exaggerated re-
ports from Havana"

BUSINESS QUIET
At present

Business generally is unusually quiet
this week. Almost all lines are eXpe-
riencing a slackness that, however,
doe not bode any harm. AS a matter
of fact, business men have been con-
siderably surprised at the way things
have held up since the holidays. 1t
was. to be expected that there would
be a good deal of slump this month,
but if there was any at all, it was
very slight. So period of compare
tive quiet for a week or two need not
be taken as anything out of the way
Real estate is quieter this week than
for some time past, but land sellers
are confident that the season is going
to be a good one.
There has been less doing in stocks
and bonds during the past week than
for some time previous. But there has
been no general slump, as Is proved
by the fact that while trading has
been light, there has been little or no
falling off in prices, while quotations
on many of the securities listed have
made very material advances.
The retail trade has been good
the month. but as the tour
list season is just fairly beginning, it
should be much better next month
and throughout February and March.
Naturally, the wholesalers will feel
the good effects of this also
