Half a dozen white mem were before

claims to have been visiting the Islands
at different times during tho past
thirty or more years. Witnesses said
that Sutherland was a lazy, worthless

BRITISH COUNT THEIR LOSS
Methnen's Last Battle Cost 400 Killed
And Wounded.
General Not Seriously Wounded - Losses of
Bom Not Accounted Adtantages Gain
ed In Question.
London, Dec. 2. As surmised, the
British dead and wounded at tho hard
fought battle of Modder river number
hundreds. Tho War Department today
gave out the Information that tho total
number of casualltles was 438 and that
tho number killed was 73.
Tho rovlscd list of Modder river cas
ualties, non-commissioned officers and
men, Is divided as follows:
Ninth Lancers, 1 wounded; Engin
eers, 2 wounded; Artillery, 3 killed, 25
wounded; Second Coldstrcams, 10 kilt
ed, CO wounded; Third Grenadiers, 9
killed, 38 wounded, 4 missing; Scots
Guards, 10 killed, 37 wounded, 1 miss
ing; Northumberland Fusllecrs, 11 kill
ed, 31 wounded; Second Yorkshire, 9
killed, 44 wounded; FIrt North Lanca
shire, 3 killed, 14 wounded; Argyll and
Sutherland Highlanders, 15 killed, 95
wounded, 2 missing; First Coldstrcams,
20 wounded; South African Reserve, 1
wounded; Medical Corps, 1 wounded.
From General Fortestlcr-Webstcr's
dispatch it is proved that all reports of
General Methuen's advnnce after tho
battle of Modder river were premature,
though, with tho railroad working, he
should not be long In constructing n
temporary bridge. His enforced delay
doubtless will bo of considerable ser
vico in giving his hard-pushed column
needful rest and In allowing tho arri
val of reinforcements, of which he
must bo sorely In need after thrco such
fights, placing hors do combat upwards
of a thousand men out of less tbnn
seven thousand.
General Forcstler-Walker's announce
ment that the Canadian marksmen and
other reinforcements have been pushed
forward to the neighborhood of tho
Orange river to protect General Meth
uen's lino of communication has re
lieved much anxiety hore, where It was
fully expected tho Boers would at
tempt to attack tho vulnerable points
of tho lino of communication.
The latest news from Natal indicates
that tho bulk of tho Lndysmlth relief
force has arrived at Frcro, though there
Is considerable conjecture as to tho
whereabouts of General CIcry, whoso
movements hate not been chronicled
recently.
It Is surmised In some quarters that
ho may reappear In u totally unexpect
ed quarter, on tho flank or rear of Gen
eral Joubcrt's force, which Is supposed
to bo concentrated at Grobelaars
Kloof, north of tho Tugela river. As
General Htldyard's advnnce guard was
In touch with tho Boers as long ago as
Tuesday last, developments should not
bo long delayed.
Dundonald's mounted force, on No
vember 28, accompanied by four guns,
went in pursuit of a body or Boers re
turning to Colcnso. They followed tho
Boers to within two and a half miles of
Colcnso, when tho Boers replied to the
British Bhells with long-range guns.
Thero wero no casualties.
Colenso bridge, It Is added, was af
terwards blown up.
Another detachment of 3,000 Brttsh
troops sailed for South Africa today.
METHUEN'S WOUND SLIGHT.
London, Dec. 2. The War Offlco has
received the following from General
Forester-Walker :
"Capo Town, Friday, Dec. 1. Gen
eral Gatacre reports no change In the
situation.
"General French has mado a recon
naissance from Naauwpoort to Ross
mead. The troops returned today.
"General Methuen's 'flesh wound Is
slight He Is remaining at Modder
river for tho reconstruction of the
bridge. Am reinforcing him with
Highlanders and a cavalry corps. The
horse artillery, Canadian regiment,
Australian contingents and thrco bat
talions of infantry have moved up to
Do Aar and Belmont line."
Message Completed.
Washington, Dec. 1. Tho Cabinet
discussed briefly today the President's
messago, on which tho finishing
touches h.avo been placed, except to
that portion of tho message relating to
tho Philippines. That section of the
messago is being held up In the hope
that tho President may be ablo to an
nounce tho comploto collapse of tho in
surrection before It goes to Congress.
Tne members of tho Cabinet are unani
mously of tho opinion that tho rebel
lion Is on Its last legs and that any day
may see tho end.
"Tho Philippine question Is solving
itself," la the way ono member put It
today, Tho President has decided not
to sond the message to Congress until
Tuesday, as tho immodlate adjourn
ment of the Senato upon tho announce
ment of the death of Vice President
Hobart would preclude Its being read
on Monday.
Wood Likes the Army.
Washington, Dec, 2. General Leon
ard Wood will j-cturn,. to Cuba, next
week, He says ho expects to remain In
tho lino of tho army as long as he lives
and Is permitted to remain.
BLUE AND GOLD VICTORS
Stanford Eleven Goes Down to the
Defeat of 30 to 0.
Second Consecutive Victory For U. of C
Wins Also the Tilden-Phelan Trophy
Sharp Play In Second Half.
San Francisco, Dec. 1. For tho scc
ona time, and with a scoro dcclslvo
enough to discourage opponents less
stubborn, the rcd-shlrtcd football ath
letes of Stanford University went down
yesterday beforo tho most skillful
eleven of tho University of California.
Sixteen thousand people, the larg
est crowd ever gathored on a Pacific
Coast field, saw the young giants grap
ple, it was almost a foregono conclu
sion that California would win, hut
that did not cause- tho victors to slack
en their sinews, nor did it dampon tho
ardor of tho vanquished. As the gamo
unfolded, and defeat for the Stanfords
becamo a certainty, those- shock-headed
sons of Thor gritted their teeth and
fought still more stubbornly every Inch
of ground. Their game In tho latter
half was far stronger than In tho first.
They held California down to 6, while
In tho first half tho bluo and gold men
had mado 24. Tho total scoro, which
Stanford has vowed with a terrible vow
shall bo wiped out next year, wns 30
to 0.
Tho sweetness of victory nnd blttor
ness of defeat aro mado known more
keen by reason of tho fact that yester
day's gamo places the Tllden-Phclan
trophy permanently In Berkeley's
hands. This trophy Is Douglas Tll-
ucn's famous statue. "The Football
Pinters," which was offered by Mayor
James D. Pholan to the team winning
two out of thrco straight games. As
Berkeley defeated Stanford last year
for tho first time and again yesterday
Dy a stui more dcclslvo Bcore, the
bronzo statuo will go to tho Berkeley
campus. It is ono of Sculptor Tlldcn's
finest pieces, nnd was designed from
football players studied by him in Lon
don. Tho statue was cast In Paris, and
wns exhibited in tho Salon, whero It
wns gieatly admired. It was shipped
around tno Horn, and for some time
has been on exhibition at tho door of
the Hopkins' Institute.

RUSSIA KNOWS NO PEAR
Now York, Doe. 2. A dispatch to
tho Herald from Berlin, says:
Tho Tagoblatt has recivod from St.

of tho Emperor William's Journey.
in tno Russian capital it Is consider
ed that tho Kaiser and Herr Von Buo

hands to bo tied at this most favor
able moment for the continental pow
ors all for love of England.
Thero aro not tho slightest grounds
for Germany to co-operate with Enc-
land.
In China only common action with
France and Russia against England can
serve tne German policy.
neither win tho German policy in
Africa be In tho slightest degree ad
vanced by the annihilation of the
Boers' rebubllc.
The Kaiser's visit to England has
therefore had no practical results. Ger
many, Franco and Russia havo all the
same antipathy to the war, and will for
the time being at least not abandon
their expectant attitude, and will for
the future keep a perfectly free hand.
It closes by saying that an under
standing between Germany and Eng
land Is tho more impossible In that the
war has given to tho world n startling
proof of England's military weakness,
Ho Was an Opium Fiend.
Tho Hawllan who was Injured in a
lively runaway accident on Fort street
about a week ago and subsequently
died of his injuries, was a well known
Identity about town. He was often
pointed out as the only Hawaiian who
was an opium fiend. He was a man
well along in years, had at ono time
been of goodly appearance, but had bo
como fearfully emaciated ana weighed
probably less than 100 pounds. Tho
man was on tho list of persons llconsed
or permitted to uso opium as a "con
firmed user." Ho received his allow
ance every day at the government dis
pensary on King street. For most of
tho tlmo tho unfortunate fiend sat on
oorways of Fort street business
houses and was kodaked times without
number.

Tno fleet numbers nineteen vessels. A
number of them havo loaded hero be

will leave next month. Of tho total
crop of sugar, estimated at 300,000 tons,
that which docs not go to New York

hana. Those to top off at Kahulul are
the Nuuanu and Iolanl. Tho oncra

service of tho packets plying between
tuls place nnd San Francisco only will
keep tho harbor crowded for many
months now. Thero will, to rellovo tho
situation, ue Borne let up In the crowd
ing In of tho transports.
Of the wholo of tho sugar that Is to
go around tho Horn, thero will be
shipped from Honolulu 44,370 tons,
from Hllo 10,050 nnd from Knhulul
8,180. It Is more likely that beforo tho

MR, DOLE DENIES UUMOR
He Has
Not Received Cblef Justice
Jndd's Resignation.
Refuses to Give Personal or Official Information
Positive Assertion That Mr. Judd Is
Determined to Retire.
The statement was made to tho Bul
letin yesterday that Chief Justico Judd
had tendered his resignation to Mr.
Dole and that tho document had been
in the possession of tho local Exccutlvo
for tho past thrco weeks. In following
up tho matter ono genticman remarked
mat tho action of the Chief Justico has
been known In official circles for sev
eral weeks but for Bomo reason had
been discussed under tho plcdgo of se
crecy. For some time past Mr. Judd's
friends have known of his destro to re
tire from public life, and It was only
upon tho urgent request of locnl offi
cers that ho consented to remain in
offico after tho completion of twenty
.vo years of honorablo servlco In tho
legal department of Hawaii. Mr. Judd
broko aown under tho Increased bur
dens placed upon him, nnd although ho
ha3 fully regained his former henlth, It
Is confidently asserted that ho will not
return to tho bench.
A Bulletin reporter called upon Mr.
Dole this morning at his Walktki resi
dence. Mr. Dolo was asked:
"Havo you received tho resignation
of Chief Justico Judd?"
"No. I havo not."
"Do you know anything of It official
ly or personally?"
"I do not caro to say anything more."
Tho general trend of public opinion
Is that Mr. Judd should retain his offlco
as long as ho desires, but it is felt that
any Intimation of his Intention to w 1th-
uraw irom public life should not bo
held exclusively within local ofTlclnl
circles.
