That, some Hawaiian sugar now in tran
sit for New York is carrying war marine
Insurance will be a surprise to a large
portion of the population. It is a fact.
If the strained relations between the Unit
ed States and Spain last for any time at
all, It Is certain that every ounce of the
principal product of the Islands as ship
ped will be guarded by policies against
Spanish privateers.
Advices in detail concerning marine war
insurance came to several of the leading
agencies and to a number of individuals
here by the mails of the S. S. China and
S. S. Moana. It would occur to the ordi
nary individual that this feature of a
conflict between nations would gradually
grow as such a genuine and destructive
argument proceeded. On the contrary,
war marine insurance is an established
institution of many years standing. The
department exists as a bureau of every
great marine insurance company.
London is headquarters for war marine
insurance. But if Spain and the United
States go at each other on the high seas
and possibly on land, the sub-agencies
at San Francisco, New York, Philadel
phia, New Orleans and other American
seaboard cities, will doubtless by given
full authority. The business will be
something immense in volume. Honolulu
may have a branch. Then will certainly
be important representatives here of the
great concerns Interested.
As intimated, war insurance rates are
fixed, or rather have heretofore been fixed
in London. All of the scares of late years
have been amongst countries in which the
Britains have had almost a national mo
netary interest. Much of the diplomatic
policy of the countries at issue has been
formed in London. In the struggle that
a great many people believe is "pend
ing," there will be somewhat of a dif
ference, but London capital w-ill be alert.
It may be that the financiers of the Unit
ed States will be unwilling to permit so
great a business as war marine insurance
to go abroad when the United States la
a party to the fighting.
A good many calculations enter into
naming the figure of the premium for a
risk during a war, or when one is in pros
pect. First Is considered the countries
generally. Next comes what is perhaps
really the prime consideration. Thjs is
naval strength. If there was war between
Great Britain and the United States tho
premirm on American cargoes and bot
toms, would it is the opinion of a man
here who should know, be not less than
75 per cent. On the other hand the in
surance rate on a British bottom would
be merely nominal. In case of war, Brit
ish merchant ships would travel in fleets
under' the convoy of ships that Britain
could easily spare from her navy after
placing a line around the United States
seaboard.
The rate at which the one lot of Ha
waiian sugar now carrying insurance
against attack by a Spanish privateer is
one and one-half per cent. In one of the
letters from San Francisco it is stated
that this will be the rate till the verdict
of the commission investigating the
Maine disaster is made public, unless in
the meantime there is a collision or a new
complication of some sort. On the day
the China left the war fever was low.
The Coast agent advanced that he
thought if half a million of sugar was in
sured against war loss he could get a
rate of perhaps one per cent. If war be
declared the rate at first from the first
day will be between live and ten per
cent on American or Hawaiian cargoes,
which are regarded as practically the
same. In this statement is again given
the judgment of a citizen who has in
vestigated the subject very carefully and
who controls one of the largest sugar
crops of the country.
One of the gentlemen largely interested
both in plantations and shipping said last
evening on the subject of war marina
Insurance: "If the trouble between Unit
ed States and Spain comes, as now ap
pears very likeij-, I think we can outwit
both the enemy and the insurance com
panies. The premiums they would de
mand of us would be something away be-
ond what the business could stand. The
American flag would go up here at once,
but even if it did not we would come in
for abuse from Spain on account of our
former affiliation and well known sympa
thies. My Idea would be to cease ship
ping around the Horn entirely. It would
pay to have the centrifugals for the East
ern refineries go from San Francisco by
rail. There would be here in any event
a quite formidable American war fleet.
We could send out a sugar fleet say once
a month and it could have convoy to San
Francisco. The packets in the trade are
all handy boats and they would be armed
and could do a little in self defense. The
water in the Pacific is so smooth that it
would be no trouble for the fleet to travel
like a .squadron of war ships. By some
such arrangement our business could pro
ceed safely.
When you answer in the affirmative be sure you
are in a position that will bear out your assertions. There
is no such word as "Fail." Say "Yes," and stick to it. Say
"Yes," and prove it.

Dear Sir: The Secretary Disc Plow I pur
chased from you is giving us satisfaction. We
are using it to plow under a crop of lupins. They
are three feet high and very thick. Your plow
turns them completely under, at the same time
plowing the land fourteen inches deep.
I feel satisfied that with this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
6 to 8. That is, with the' old' plow, to do the same
work, it takes 8 good mules; with your plow it
takes only 6, and they are less tired at night.
Please send me another plow by first schooner
leaving for this.
You are at liberty to use this in any way you
may see fit. Yours truly,
A. LIDGATE.
