which furnish the main fuel supply of
Mexico and on which the movement of

SOUTH AMERICANS
OPPOSE WAR MOVE
Hope Wilson Will Stay His
Hand In Mexican Crisis
Do Not Excuse Mexico
For Her Folly.

Rio Janeiro. June 26.-The Journal
O'Paiz supports the policy Of the Uni
ted States, which it thinks sincerely
disposed to defend its interests. its ter
ritory and the lives OF its citizens
without making the anarchy in Mexi-
co in any way an excuse for practtcing
acts Of Imperialism, which would bring
about the irreparable bankruptcy Of the
great authority and confidence the Uni
ted States enjoys so legitimately In
America and elsewhere"
1T is certain" concludes the paper,
that the use Of force by the United
States against Mexico would raise on
the American continent the most We
hement protestation. It Is impossible
to deny also that painful impression
is caused by the incorrigible turbulence
OF this Latin republic, which defies
with amazing blindness the dangers
arising from its madness and which
continues to despise all calls to reason
and good sense, plungtng toward Grim
inal suicide into a fight which can be
only fatal to her"
The Gazette Noticias thinks the Uni
ted States gives an excessive extern
sion" to the right Of police" on the
continent. mo country In the world,
including the United States" II says,
has been able to go through its evo-
luton or perfect itself without strug-
giles and connections more or less san
culinary. It is impossible to maintain
that violence and q sanguinary spirit
are exclusively tin-American de-
fects. The severity and the contempt
with which Washington looks upon the
revolutions Of the neighboring coun-
tries are neither just or Christian"
The Journal Do Commercio believes
that in the difficult situation in which
President Wilson finds himself he will
employ all his efforts to solve an I'M
pleasant problem, fraught with misun-
derstandings, and that he will receive,
probably with good viii all attempts at
Cancellation. The conduct Of President
Wilson on the occasion OF the compll-
cation with Huerta must Vouch for his
actions in the new phase of the Mexi-
can situation"
Buenos Aires, June 2S.-Discussing
the Mexican situation, La Prenza today
says that the United States as a
sovereign nation, has the right to de-
fend its interests. 1t would commit a
grievous error. however, by declaring
war, as the triumph of the Pan Amer
lean policy Is preferable to the salts
faction that would be given by a war
to exact reparation for an offense that
the Mexican people cannot make good
because of the anarchy which sup
presses the will that only the voice Of
the constituted powers could express.
Upon the United States alone de-
wolves the duty Of avoiding war as
Mexico cannot recognize the obligation
because Of its state Of anarchy.
The United States must show i'm
Partially, repress armed incursions,
prevent the expectation Of arms and
leave the Mexican factions to fight 1t
out among themselves to definite
solution"

Paris, June 26.-The Madrid CORES

Public opinion here Is greatly i'm
pressed by the Mexican situation. De-
spite the talk Of Intervention by King
Alfonso in favor Of peace between the
United States and Mexico, no official

HONOLULUCLUB
LOSES FLEET in
STORM SATURDAY
Three Barges and ScuII Go to
Bottom While Being lowed
to Pearl Harbor

Three six-oared barges and one scull
belonging to the Honolulu Yacht &
Boat Club were sunk in the harbor
Saturday afternoon while they were
being towed to Pearl Harbor. The
jinx that has followed the Honolulu
club from the beginning reached the
climax on Saturday when the entire
fleet was destroyed.
On Saturday afternoon Sonny"
Markham, Otto Gramberg, Fred VIII
helm, Otto. Bierman and Alex. Rose
started from Honolulu In small
launch towing the three barges and
the scull toward Pearl Harbor where
it was planned to repair them. When
they reached a point off Kalihi a
strong wind came up and the boats
dashed against the launch.
The boys made strong fight to save
the shells, but in the choppy seas the
barges were broken up and the mem
bers were forced to cut the lines. Two
of the members of the party narrowly
escaped being thrown overheard. The
barges lost were the Alice NJ, Harriet

P. 0. BRANDS AS
SWINDLE scheme
MAIL ORDER CO.
Offer of Petticoat for Five Let
ters and One Dime Barred
From the Mails

II any one has received from the
mainland letter promising you a
$4.75 silk petticoat If you will send 10
cents to the National Mail Order
Brokerage Company of $50 Globe
building, Minneapolis, it is best not
to send the dime.
At least one woman in Honolulu
has received such letter and perhaps
more have had them. However, If any
answers are mailed here to the con-
Germ they will be returned by the Ho-
nolulu postofice to the senders or
win, be forwarded to the dead letter
bureau.
An official fraud order from the
postoffice department telling of the
swindle has been received by Acting
Postmaster William C. Petersen from
Acting Postmaster General j. C.
Koons. The order directing all post
masters to bar from the mails all let
ters addressed to the swindlers is sup
plemented by notice from the post
office departments solicitor, w. H.
Lamar, dated October 80, describing
the methods of operation.
"All postmasters are directed to
withdraw from the mails all mail mat
ter of any kind addressed to this con-
cern," says the order, land return to
the sender where known, or send to
the dead letter Office If unknown"
According to Solicitor Lamar's post
script, the scheme is worked as fol.
lows:
"A silk petticoat worth $475 is prom
ised the addressee provided she will
remit 10 cents to the concern and
send FIVE exact copies of the letter
received by her to FIVE of her acquaint-
ances." The postal authorities discov-
cred the swindle and stopped it by is
suing a fraud order, acting on the
grounds that the concern obtained
money under false pretenses.
A despatch from Washington to the
Herald-Republican of Salt Lake City,
dated November IL, says that as re-
suit of this action taken by the post
Office department postmasters through
out the country have sent to the dead
letter Office 10000 letters, containing
a similar number of dimes, sent by
trusting women to the concern which
promised to deliver $475 petticoat,
1877 model" for 10 cents OF the
SOC, 900 letters which continued to pour
into the Minneapolis postoffice some so
per cent were returned to the senders.
The rest went to the dead letter office.

CHANGES WANTED
OF WASHINGTON
Delegate Kuhio. confers With
Party Leaders on National
Legislation

Revision of the present laws regulat-
ing homesteading in Hawaii is to be
taken up at Washington this winter
by Delegate Kuhio.
Following out the pledge of the Re-
publican party in its territorial plat
form, leaders of the G. o. p. are work.
ing out plan to present in the form
of a congressional bill A conference
and luncheon was held today between
the delegate, r. w. Breckons, national
committeeman, H. l.. Holstein, the
"war-horse" from Kohala, and A. d,
Castro, who wrote the homesteading
plank included in the platform adopt
ed last summer.
The plank includes the following
features, which will be observed in
shaping proposed legislation:
I'VE pledge our delegate in Congress
to endeavor to secure proper legisla-
tion permitting the legislature to
enact laws similar to the acts Of Con-
gress under which irrigation works to
be used in the reclamation of arid
land are constructed by the govern
ment
I'VE also pledge our delegate in Con-
gress to endeayor to secure an exten-
sion of the laws relating to pastoral
lands so that 1t will be possible to
subdivide pastoral lands into small
areas OF not more than 200 acres for
purpose of promoting ranches under
citizen ownership Under the present
system wealthy corporations and in
dividuals are permitted to lease from
the government large tracts of land
and thus prevent the individual citi-
zen of moderate means from compel
ing in the leasing of such lands. BY
this method the consistent monopoly
of the products of such land by few
is being permitted, con-
trary to Republican principles of in.
dustrial opportunities"
