WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. The Secre
tary of State today formally disap
proved the concession made in July by
the Hawaiian Government to the Pa
cific Cable Company for an exclusive
risht to lay a cable to Hawaii. It is
understood that this action was taken
in no spirit of hostility to the Pacific
Cable Company, but the concession
was disapproved, first, on account of
the formal protest made by the Hawaii
an Commission, and, second, because it
seemed best to leave to Congress a free
hand in the disposition of the whole
subject.
The action was announced in a proc
lamation, Which, after reciting the his
tory of the concession and referring to
the resolution annexing Hawaii, con
cludes as follows:
Whereas, In view of the provisions
of said joint resolution for the deter
mination 'by the Congress of the
United States of all matters -of legis
lation concerning the Hawaiian Islands
and because the subject matter and
provisions of said indenture are deemed
to be proper subjects for the consider
ation and determination of the Con
gress of the United States, it is deemed
expedient and necessary that the Con
gress of the United States consider and
adopt such legislation, especially in
regard to grants and contractual obli-
I gations to be controlled by and rest
upon the United States of America as
vested with sovereignty over said Ha
waiian Islands, without let or hindr
ance by reason of any action of the
Government of the Republic of Hawaii
in respect to such grants and contrac
tual obligations initiated by the said
Government of the Republic of Hawaii
prior to and incomplete at the time of
the yielding up of the sovereignty of
the Hawaiian Islands to the United
States.
Now, therefore, I, John Hay, Seere
tary of State of the United States, do
hprchv exnress. on the nart of the
United States Department its disap
proval of the contract stipulated in the
said indenture, to the end that the
same shall not take effect. Given under
my hand, etc.
JOHN HAY,
Secretary of State
THE CAPTAIN LOSES.
OAKLAND, Jan. 4. Mrs. Isabella
Von Schmidt was granted a divorce to
day from Capt. E. A. Von Schmidt, a
well known yachtsman and bar pilot.
The case was heard by Superior Judge
Greene, and lasted all day. Much sen
sational testimony was brought out.
By the terms of the decree, Mrs. Von
Schmidt is given the custody of th
children and allowed alimony to the
amount of $75 per month. Although
Capt. Von Schmidt fought the case
most vigorously, and did not hesitate
to drag his wife's name in the dirt,
when it came to settlements, he was
willing that his wife should have all
of the household furniture and every
thing that would make the children
comfortable.

STEAM TONNAGE.
America's total steam tonnage
amounted at the end of last quarter to
6,712 vessels of 2,371,823 tons, com
pared with 6,599 vessels of 2,358,558
tons for the previous year. The ves
sels sold to the Government were all
steam vessels,, so the true increase is
greater than the figures indicate. Sail
ling vessels have decreased from 1,904,
153 tons for 1897 to 1,835,S27 tons for
1898. Documented canal boats and
barges amount to 542,988 tons, com
pared with 506,309 tons for the previous
years. The returns show that during
the first quarter of the current fiscal
year, to September 30, the. capacity of
the vessels built, and officially numb
ered, was S3.191 tons, compared with
26,805 tons for the corresponding per
iod of last year. It is added that prob
abilities point to a considerably larger
aggregate output between this date and
June 30 next, than in any year for a
quarter of a century past, with the ex
ception of 1S90-91.
Some Detail of the Relief Work by
the United States.
NEW YORK, Dec. 30 Charles W.
Gould has returned from the mission
intrusted to liim by Secretary of War
Alger to relieve the starving people of
the island. His work has been the most
important accomplished in Cuba. In
three weeks he made arrangements for
the relief of 100,000 persons. Only 10
per cent, of the food distributed by
him was given to the Cuban soldiers.
The .rest was distributed among the
former reconcentrados.
Mr. Gould also organized relief com
mittees to procure work for the poor
in addition to the work of distributing
supplies to them. At Sagua 17,000 per
6ons are already at work. The orphan
asylums founded by Mr. Gould two
weeks ago are now working splendidly.
No beggars are seen on the streets at
fiith er Satrua or Cardenas. At Santa
Clara 4,000 persons have found employ
ment on farms.
At Trinidad, Col. Brown of the
Fourth Tennessee Regiment was ap
pointed Chairman of the Relief Com
mittee. He is setting thousands of peo
ple at work. At Matanzas 1300 are al
ready working. Mr. Gould ga-ve orders
to the committees to furnish rations
only to those who were willing to
work. When the people display willing
ness to work they receive provisions to
last them three months, and tools are
furnished to them by the committees.
As a result from 7000 to 8000 men are
returning weekly to agricultural pur
suits.

heavy machinery and trucks with high
boxes for coal, ice or other commodities
will be first used. Compressed air will
furnish the motive power.

double wheel similar to the arrange
ment on a cable car for controlline:
the power. One wheel will be for
steering purposes, and the other will
open or close a valve between the air
chambers ami the motor. Although
these trucks will have a carrying capa-
citv of eight tons and can be run
on smooth pavements as fast as eight
miles an hour, it is asserted that they
can be stopped in their own length. By
huttimr off the air the wheels are

PHILIPPINES TELEGRAPH.
The transport Morgan City will carry
on her next trip to Manila 325 miles
of telegraph wire, with a corresponding
quantity of material to erect that much
line, sufficient equipment for five con
struction and repair parties, equipment
for forty separate telegraph offices and
four and one-half miles of submarine
cable. The chief signal officer of San
Francisco, Col. Green, procured the en
tire outfit, in compliance with instruc
tions from the "War Department at
Washington, purchasing everyth:n
needed at an outlay of about $10,000.
The outfit is complete in every detail,
the proposed lines being so far remote
from the base of supplies that the
equipment had to be made complete in
all that is needed in and out of a tele
graph office. This seems to indicate
that the Government intends to estab
lish communication with the interior
of the islands as its forces advance.

of all animals?
