new regiment
is coming here
OBBEBED TO HONOLULU FROM
roEOE NOW IK PHILIPPINE
ISijAND&
A special dispatch from Washington:
to the San Francisco Examiner, o April
-4, announces tbat another regiment hns
been ordered to Honolulu from tlio
Philippines.
Tlio dispatch reads:
"Making ready to concentrate its
entire mobile forco along tlio soutliorn
border, the war department today ordered
three completo regiments now in
the Philippines to hurry with nil possible
BDced back to the United States.
These regiments aTC in addition to tho
Fourteenth Cavalry, now on tho sea
homeward bound from tho Orient.
"Two of the regiments ordered" homo
today are cnvnlry and ono is infantry.
Tfpon their arrival at Snn Francisco
tho cavalry will proceed to Port Clark
and Port Mcintosh. Tho infantry will
hasten to San Antonio. A fifth regiment
now in the Philippines, was
to Hawaii and informed that it
must arrive at that station heforo tho
first of May.
"Tho donartnient of state today ad
mitted the almost incredible fact that
it is nctnnlly treating with tho Mex
ican ambassador on tho demand of
Mexico that the United States Bliall
pay duty on the arms consigned to tho
American ambassador nt Mexico City
for tho protection of Amorican citizens
whom tho Madero government admits
it cannot protect.
Government Is Taxed.
"This putB tho American government
in the amazing position of being taxed
for the privilege of preventing its own
citizens from being murdored in a law-loss
country. And what is Btill more
amazing, tho state department is show
ing decided symptoms of capitulating
to Mexico's demands.
"In response to an appeal from Gov
ernor Colquitt of Texas that former
Policeman Roberts of El Paso, who is
held a prisoner by tho insurrcctors in
Mexico, bo released, the stato depart
ment began a Iceole attempt today to
unwind red tape.
"It contended that if it made a pres
cntation to the insurrectos to release
him. it would thereby recognize their
belligerency, which it does not intend
to uo. At tnc same timo tno aonart
merit realizes the futility of appeal to
Madero, who is unable to release his
own men held prisoners by the revolu
tionary forces. In the meantime Roberts
has been acquitted by a rebel
court martial on charges of being a
spy and will bo rclnnscd.
"Information reached tho dopartment
toaay umt inuicaieu tno insurrectos
ore now in possession of moro than
half of Mexico.
Senate Wants Facts,
"Exorcssinir oxtrcme dissatisfaction
with the manner in which tho state
department has permitted Japan to pull
tno wool over its eyes as to her inten
tions in Magdalcna bay, a member of
the foreign relations committee said today
that tho object of tho Lodge
, ution is to take the entiro problem out
of the hands of the department and of
the President and invest it in the sen
ate.
"So anxious was the foreign relations
committee to accomplish its object that
the President was not apprised that
uch a resolution was contemplated
ontu attcr it nad been introduced and
passed.
"If President Taft was not informed
by the stato department that on Tuesday,
when tho Lodcro resolution was
introduced, a Japanese syndicate was
actively engaged in negotiating for a
vast tract of land along Magdalcna
oar, no win be made awaro of that
fact tomorrow when Senator Lodge
cans at tno wmtc jiouso.
"Tlio sentiment entertained at tho
White House for the senator since the
introduction of Ins resolution is illus
trated by the fact that when Lodge
cancel to present ms information today
the President could not make It
convenient to see him."

HAWAIIAN YOUTH
ATTEMPTS PERILOUS
RESCUE OE SWIMMER
Kalua, a Hawaiian swimmer, became
a hero for an attempted rescue at Honomu,
Hawaii, April 2.' The nows of
it reached Honolulu yesterday, although
tho swimmer's bravery has
been dUcussed in many a homo throughout
the Honomu district ever since tho
day ho attempted to savo a young
Spaniard from drowning.
The Spanish youth, whoso name is
act disclosed, made a bet that ho could
swim to ono of the Honomu Sugar
Company's lauding buoys and return.
Tho stake was a gallon of wine.
The pea is treacherous at Honomu
and tho waves run high. Into tho
foaming surf and tho perilous undertow
the Spaniard forged, reaching tho buoy
in safety. His friends on tho alioro
watched breathlessly. The young swim,
mer did not begin the return trip but
clung to the buoy making signs of distress.
Kalua offered to attempt a rescue.
He is a strong swimmer, but his friends
urged him not to go into tho water
on what seemed a hopelesB task. Kalua
icraisted and thoy tied a rope
around bis Lody. With it ho breasted
tho breakers and reached the buoy.
Darkness had descended. Tho men on
aliore could not make out tho two swim-more
clearly. They pulled in on tho
rope but ouly Kalua returned with it,
exhausted.
Summons had been sent to Hilo in
tho mean time, for a launch. It arrived
two or three hours later and effected
a rescue of the 8panish lad. The

HAWAIIAN GAZETTE, TUESDAY,

DESHA REPEATS
. WHAT KUHIQ TOLD
MUST SHOW WASinNQTON THAT
PEOPLE BACK- CHARGES
AGAINST FREAR,
Stephen Desha continues to impress
upon his political flock tho fact that
tho couvontion tomorrow is to demonstrate
to tho administration at Washington
that the Republican voters of
Hawaii aro back of and endorse all
that Kuhio, Asbford and Kinney hnvo
said against the Governor and tho sugar
planters of tho Islands. At a meeting
of tho Hilo delegates, called by David
Ewaliko in Hilo Wednesday, tho political
parson repeated what ho had
been told by Kuhio 1n tho Kuhio-
Desha letter and afterwards told by
word of mouth, tho wholo tenor of
which was that now tho Hawaiians
must comblno to back tho Prince
against tho haole Governor and tho
plantations interests.
Although politics has of late mndo
somo very strange bed-follows in Hilo,
this mooting called by the labor 'union
leader and Democratic boss, for tho
purpose of getting a public expression
from tho Republican delegates was sum
cicntly anomalous to create
blc comment and amusement in tho Big
Island town.
The meeting was a scmipublic affair,
and, being antiadministratlon in its
sentiment, it was fairly enthusiastic.
Vhilo John Kealoha acted as presiding
officer, in his capacity of president of
tho Hilo labor union branch, David
Ewaliko was, as usual, tho power be
hind tho throne and not so very far
bohmd oituor.
Bcors, Bohnenberg, Osorio, Hose,
Cabrinua and Namnnoo all testified to
their loyalty to Kuhio and the labor
union. Then Desha exhorted.
Ho remarked that, at tho recent prim-
ary election, he himself had probably
been tlio main bone of contention, par
ticularly as tho "other element" had
used all its influonco to down him. He
had, however, liko a seasoned veteran,
stood through their attacks, and ho
had, through tho support of Ewaliko
and tho labor union, secured tho
coveted nomination. If only the labor
element would stick together in tho
future, it could vanquish all its opponents,
said Desha. It was doing so
on the mainland.
Tho election of a Kuhio delegation
snowed that tho Hawaiians had then
privileges at heart, as Kuhio had told
him that this was their only chance.
If tho victory over Frear was won, it
would show to the 'administration at
Washington that Kuhio was. right in
his charges against tho Governor.
Hereafter tho Hawaiians and the
Portuguese must pull together, as tho
election just past had shown what they
could accomplish when they worked in
harmony.
Tho speaker expressed surprise that
tho interests had used money so freely
in tno country districts, and he was
sorry to sco tho Hawaiians in these
places voting for the plantation reo
pie, although they were the very ones
wno nad been lucking about the home
stead policy of the government. On
the other hand, tho Hawaiians 'in the
city, though not themselves personally
concerned with homestead matters, had
shown their interest in tho question by
giving tno victory to tno uilno men.
Homo Eulor for 'Kuhio.
Pacheco was called on to speak. He
said that although ho was a Homo
Ruler, ho felt that it was his duty to
help elect tho Kuhio delegates, as Kuhio
had been working in tho interests
of tho homesteaders. Pacheco had no
use for Frear or his administration, and
ho hoped that at the next election all
the former Republican votes would bo
thrown to tho Homo Rule candidates.
Paahao, tho well known Democrat,
expressed tho wish that Holstein would
bo soloctcd as Hawaii's delegate to
Chicago, and that Osorio be chosen as
Ins alternate. He urged tho delegation
to work for this end, and was greeted
with loud applause.
Ewaliko closed tho meeting with a
short speech, in which he called attention
to the reception which had been
given Gompers during his recent visit
to tho West. Tlio labobring men on
tho mainland had dono much towards
bettering their conditions by taking an
active interest in public affairs, said
Ewaliko, and thoso on tho Islands
should follow their example.

KTO THE HILO JAIL
WARDEN AND DEPUTY SHERIFF
VICTIMS OF SOFT-FOOTED AND
AFTER-DARK MEN.
(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
HILO, April 12. Pockets in tho
pantaloons of high polico officials havo
of late been found to bo a fino hunting
ground by burglars of this city. Within
.the past couple of weeks both Jailer
Maby, the popular and dearly beloved
caterer to tho malefactors in tho Hilo
jail; and Deputy Sheriff Fetter havo
had their trousers' pockets rifled by
burglars. And this happened in both
cases during early hours of tho
morning when tho officials wero enjoying
the sleep of thoso who have a good
conscience; their money-laden nether
garments being at tho samo timo conveniently
susponded from chairs in tho
immediate vicinity.
Tho Maby case happenod a couplo of
weeks ago. On tho night in question
the jailer had been improving his mind
by reading until ono o'clock in the
morning, when ho retired. Being a
in tho healthy, wealthy and wiso
principle, the jailer sprang lightly from
liis couch at five a. m., only to bo
btruck by tho heartrending fact thatl
whereas his trousers bad tho evening

about ten dollars in coin of tho realm,
they now jingled not at all, tho coin
having been abstracted by somo bold
and bad burglar while tho jailer was
playing with the angels of dreamland.
The case of the deputy sheriff was
more spectacular. At about half-past
four last Wednesday, ono of tho two
smaller Fetter girls was awakened when
her mosquito net was lifted By a person
who peered into tho bed. Tho girl
awakened her sister, who slept in tho
same bed, and tho jailer hastened
out of tho room. It appeared later on
that bo had visited Captain Fetter's
bedroom and had taken from that
cial's trousers the sum of $7.15 in eoin,Pvi 1va? t0 Have accompanied tho fleet,

beyond nroducincr nn artistic iTcct. ho
accomplished nothing of value.

that ho must bo tho possessor of predatory
wealth. Furthermore, ho had
bought fish, shrimps, canned goods,
fruit, toilet powder, soap, a red nocktio,
half a bag of rlco, half a dozen silver-plated
spoons and somo othor. things.
The oxtcnt of tho Filipino's marketing
aroused Fottcr's suspicions, and ho
took tho man, as well as another Filipino,
who was with him to tho polico
station. Hero a list of tho cost of tho
goods bought by tho spendthrift, plus
two dollars in coin which remained in
his possession, tallied within a fow
cents with tho amount missed from the
deputy sheriff's pocket. Further
grounds for suspicion developed in a
pair of socks, so wet and dirty that
thoy showed that tho ownor must havo
J worn them, without tho uso of shoes, a
few hours previously. Tho socks had
still clinging to them particles of n
peculiar sandy soil, just liko that which
is found in tho Fetter yard and accordingly
tho fellow's arrest on a chargo
ot burglary followed.

HILL RETIREMENT
- IS
CHICAGO, April 13. Tho Chicago
Post today says that James Ji Hill, tho
railway magnate, will retire soon and
that his son, Louis Hill, will succeed
to his father's position.
"The builder of tho 'Northwest"
and "Tho Colossus of Hoads" aro the
names .lames Joromo Hill is best known
by. Mr. Hill was born in Wellington
county, Ontario, September 10, 1838.
His father cfimo from good old Irish
stock nnd was ono of tlio earliest settlers
in Upper Canada, in 1820, being
a hard-working and successful farmer.
On his mother's sido Mr. Hill is of
Dunbar, Scottish descent. The boy attended
tho Hockwood Academy, a
Quaker school, for eight years, when
his father died and young Hill was
thrown upon his own resources to make
his way in tho world.
At tho ago of eighteen he went to
St. Paul, then a village on tho hem of
civilization, and became, a shipping
clerk. Ho learned the business of trans,
portatiou thoroughly nnd 'ho gradually
learned tho needs of tho great West. In
18C5 ho took tho agency of tlio North
west Packet Company and continued in
that position until 1807, when ho Btnrt.
ed for himself in tho genornl fuol and
transportation business. Tlio first coal
used in St. Paul was shipped in by him.
His first start on tho rond to fame
was in 1870, whon ho established tho
Bed Bivcr Transportation Company. Ho

Paul and Fort Garry, now Winnipog,
and in 1871 ho consolidated his interests
with Normnn W., Kltson of thu
Hudson Bay Company. In 1873 his
chance came and ho grasped it with
great courngc. Tho St. Paul and
Railroad had defaulted. Ho
Sir Donald Smith and Lord
Mount Stephen, secured control of the
bonds of tho company nnd tho purclinso
was completed.
Ho reorganized tho road, included tho
Northern Pacific and tho Cnnadinn Pacific
and by degrees ho formed tho Great

becamo a great owner of railroads, but
added superb fleets of steamships on tho
Great Lakes and tho Pacific.
