Rkv. J. M. Lkwis, Wailuku, Maui.
Dear Sir. I hare been again re
quested bv the Sheriff to take some
definite action in reference to dis
bursing the money, which has been
so generously donated by the good
people of Maul for the relief of the
destitute of Kahului.
Mv time is Ko fully occupied that I
cannot do the matter justice and
I feel that a commitee of the citizens
would accomplish the work far bet
ter and with more accurate judgment
than myself: For this reason 1 siiir-
gest that you act as chairman of thfcl
committee and a' your assistants 1
would name Judge Kepoikai' ttnd
Mr. William Robinson' who have been
mentioned to me as Able' and elter
getic workers in charitable enter
prises. Trusting you will find it convenient
to engage in this very worthy enter
prise which I am sure will be well
conducted. I remain.
Respectfully.

oers on the liun. British strategy wins
lie pc, British
Peace in
. iiONlioS. Mar. -The following
editorial announcement is made by
the Daily Xews: ...
'It was rumored in London yester.
daj. and, we have some reason for be
lieving the rumor to be correct; that
the two republics made informal an,U
unoltjclal overtures of pence on the
preceding day. Unfortunately, the
conditions suggested were of such a
character as to preclude the possibi
lity of lcading;t any result. Terms
which might have been gladly sug
gested, and accepted before the AvaT,
in order to; avoid it, are impossible
after thewar. with all the sacrifices
it has i entailed.' u
Loxnox. Mar. 0. 3:10 p. m. It was
learned this afternoon that the peace
rumors had been founded on fact:
that President Krueger had appealed
to Lord Salisbury for a cessation of
hostilities, offering at length, by
cables, the terms which he was will
ing to accept.
These however, were not taken
seriously., as they Included practical
ly nothing more than what the Trans
vral Government offered prior to the
issuing of the British ultimatum.
Official circles hern regarded the
propositions as merely a ruse for the
Boers to gain time, and did not con
sidert hat President Krueger was yet
ready to consider the sweeping de
mands which Great Britain would
make as reimbursement for the loss
of life and great expenditure.
It was understood that President
Krueger's advances had met witli an
emphatic rejection at the hands of
Lord Salisbury .who was believed to
have said that no such attempt to
retain the: independence of the Trans
vaal should be. considered for a -moment,
by. the British Government.
.'uJjOXdon. March 0. The following
dispatch from Poplar Grove appear
in the Standrad:
'The movement of the mounted
men was somewhat too rapid for sup
porting infantry and as a result the
Boer position was turned before the
main body could strike effectually.
The Boers fell back precipitately
and, extending to the southeast,
they checked . the advance of the
British cavalry with heavy rifle lire
at oOOO'cyards range. Accordingly
Gcn.Frimeh moved southward and
outflanked them again, but the Boers
repeated their tactics. "'
London March 0. The Boers ap
pear to have made no stand what
ever, except that while in retreat
they twice repulshed Gen. French's
cavalry with rifle fire. As no report
has been made on the capture of
prisoners, the enemy probably got
away with their entire force.
Gen, French is still following them
and keeping between them and
Bloemfontein.

less. It begins to look indeed ns if

the game is up. for they must have

Victoria. March 8. The people
of the Pacific coast of America are
face to face with a new danger
in disease, and the health authorities
of the continent with a new necessity
for increased vigilance. Over at the
Diamond Head quarantine station.
about ten miles from Port Towusend
(although complete isolated from
that citv) and less than seventy mill's
from Victoria, genuine bulxtnic plague
lias made its appearance under cir
cumstances which point to the nn
perativo, urgency ot watching every
avenue of communication with tin
Oriental hotbed of epidemic plague.
It is by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha
steamship Nayo Maru that the
"curse of the East"' has gained its
first foothold on American soil, she
having arrived at Port Townsend
from Honolulu on January 30 last, to
take flour cargo for Japan.- Her
last previous charter had been for
plantation emigrants from Japan for
delivery at Honolulu, these coolies of
the very lowest and filthiest type
having on the voyage over been
packed in the hold of the ship
where through sheer laziness and
contempt for the laws of decency
or health they literally wallowed
in tilth, which eventually found it
way into the walls and bottom
of the ship and converted her in
to a breeding place for pestilence
The result of this examination gave
the plaguvi bacilli unmistakably, and
the following inessagei was sent to. all
the (iiiaranitine stations of Amenica
by telegraph to those of the Pacific
coast and the Gulf, and by letter to
to those of the Atlantic side;
"Cases supposed to be beriberi
steamer arriving at Port Townsend
on subsequent investigation proved
plague. Proper precautions
t.iken at begining by Foster, hence
no danger, ThU to put you on guard
for proper diagnosis beriberi."

Gen.-Armstrong' Work,
The Spriti'gtiehT Republicans of
February 18, has a very apprecia
tive nrtlcle the work of Gen, S. C.
Armstrong'. Among other the writ-.
or savs: '-. - ,
Those who knew Geiirrat Arm
strong Will recall the magnetic pres
ence, the intense enthusiasm, the
tall soldierly figure of the hero who
spent his life in the ' cause, of the
under man" the red ritan, the
black man. the man of any color who
had ainbiti(ii and self respect, and a
pair of hands willing to work! ith
rare foresight, General Armstrong
felt that the' proper kind of training
for Undeveloped races Was a wise
combination of industrial and acade
mic instruction. Believing the work
of the! hands to be a moral as Well as
an, educative force, he built as manv
hops as he had classrooms, thus
developing at Hampton tin industrial
village full of busy workers learning
how to earn an honest living, and to
become men and wonti'ij of sufficient
character to influence, for g'ood the
communities in w Itich they were to
live,
This industrial Village lives and
grows, binee liencral Armstrong s
time, finoly-e ptippod trade schools
for both boys and girls have been
pr.ivhled. through the ..kindness of
friends, of whom the fdundcr hoped
in his "memoranda" that .., there
would be enough to see that the
work of the sc! 0 1 should continue.'
The domestic and industrial training
begins at Hampton In the kinder
garten, where the litttle black pick
aninnies have their wash days, iron
ing days, and hours for sweeping,
dusting and gardening. It continues
throughout the course, up through
the sewing, cooking, sloyd and bent
iron classes to dairying, laundrving.
housekeeping and dressmaking for
girls, and carpentry, cabinet-mak
ing, bricklaying, blaeksmithmg, ma
chine work, steam engineering, tail
oring, shoe and harness 'making
upholstering, tinsmith, printing and
agriculture for the boys. Those' tak
ing these trades are taught not only
manual skill, but the business side
of their chosen occupations the cost
of materials, of lalxir, of the finished
product, and of building and equip
ping shops of their own. Every stu
dent is required to keep his personal
accounts, subject to inspection
monthly in the treasurer's office; and
all are taught the use of simple bust
ness forms, checks, drafts, etc.
The question naturally arises,
What. Ix-comcs of the graduates of
this expensive school? Do they pay
for the outlay ? Following are some
of the results of the school's work.
Of its 15.000 graduates' and ex-stu
dents, at least !KI er cent have be
come teachers., farnfen. mechanics
and business meiv. Of the 270 who
have taken trades since 113, nlniut

or engaged m trtrtchihg. them at
