27. It is expected that Governor Dole of Hawaii will make a ommendation to the Hawaiian ir Legislature, which February, for the settlement of the claims of the Chinese and Japanese growing out of 'the df destruction of their property at Honolulu at the time ot the bubonic plague outbreak. It pears that the Chinese clnims are less than was at first mated, and that the total of the Japanese and Chinese claims is approximately SOO.00.. The Chinese government has -k not been in a condition of late to exert pressure in behalf of the claims of its citizens, but the Japanese authorities have been actively looking out for the losses sustained bv their -A- countrymen, and nov seem to be in a fair wav of securing A- partial remuneration. Gover-- nor Dole suggested a short time ago that the matter be re- ferred to the, Hawaiian Legis- lature, and this was approved by the officials here as the best means ot adjustment.

It is probable, however, that Gover-x nor Dole's recommendation will be considerably below the face value of the claims. There anpears to be doubt that the Legislature will authorize -A- a settlement. FUNERAL OF MRS. LUMAHEIHEI Deceased Decendent of Royal Line Duly Honored Yesterday.

i DECURES MILES' STiTEWEMTS FUSE General Alger's Article On the Food of the Army. HAS EXCUSES' FOR GENERAL EA6AN CONSIDERS MILES GUILTY OF THE MOST REPREHENSI BLE CONDUCT. -alls Attention to the Vanity of tht Senior Officer of the Army Over the Notoriety He had Attained Strong Arraignment. NEW YORK, Dec. 29.

In his article in the North American Review, on "The Food of tne Army during the Spanish War," Gen. Alger takes up Gen. Miles' testimony before the Dodge commission on' December 21, 1S9S, relative to beef furnished to the army and saysr "Although the commission had been sitting nearly three montns, the charges with respect to canned and refrigerated beef were now made for the first time; and, strariger and more inexcusable J- and more unsoldierly still, during all these months, with this pre-; tended knowledge of facts, which, if they existed, "should have been made known to the of War for the protection of th army, Gen. Miles never mentioned the subjecL Nor did I ever hear a rumor of chemically treated beef being purchased for the army until the general's testimony was given Before the commission. "The allegaUons that unsuitable food, not a part of the legat "ration, had been furnished to the armjr under pretense of an experiment, and that refrigerated beef, treated, with, poisonous chemicals, had been and was being supplied to our army of 275000 men, were indeed' "serious, "implying-as they didi' "criminal incompetence oU'the part of commissary department, if not wilful negligence and dishonesty.

Like an Assassin's Blow. "Upon Charles P. Eagan the charges fell with the suddenness and sharpness' of a blow from an assassin's knife out of the dark. General Eagan had been an officer of the regular army-for thirty-six years. He had risen from a second lieutenancy to the highest rank in the commissary department to which his ambition could aspire.

Gallant and fearless on the battlefields of the civil war and the hostile Indian plains of the west he had a record for soldierlv qualities of which any officer might well be proud. With energy, honesty and zeal, he had. administered his department during the war with Spain, a fitting climax to a long and honorable career in the service of his country." General Alger pavs a high tribute to the energy and fidelity of Genera Eagan. saying he was almost prostrated from overwork, he adds: "The charges ,01, General Miles, made so publiciyt.and'so' 'positively, and the manner in which they were for the first time made Tcnown. seemed to General Eagan.

in his nervous con dition, the more magnified and horri ble. Upon hearing them he pitifully exclaimed: 'General Miles has crucified me upon a cross of falsehood and "General Eagan had already been examined by the War Investigation Commission when General Miles' hearing occurred, but when the testimony of the latter appeared -in the? General Eagan immediately re quested a re-hearing. Had Reason to be Bitter. "General J2agan read his reply to the War InvestigaUon Commission from a carefully prepared typewritten manuscript tiwquick by tbe allegatioBs contained in testimony and in hts subsequent interview which appeared, on December 23d in a New York paper, his indignation exceeded the limits of his self-control and in his efforts to deny the charges made, his language became vituperative, extravagant and highly improper. I believe that had General Eagan's been seriously impaired 'by overwork and' anxiety, the two objectionable paragraphs of 300 words out of an aggregate of 2,000 words contained In his reply would never have been writ ten or uttered.

"Even vet divested of its offensive adjectives in the two paragraphs re as ferred to, his reply to General Miles- remains unanswerable its loeic and incontrovertable in its facts. The allegation that I had inspired or had any knowledge of General Eagan's attack upon the statement of General Miles is absolutely untrue. He did not make known to me the- nature of nis, proposed answer to the charges. Had General Eagan submitted his manuscript to me he would' undoubtedly at this writing stiu be In full possession of the rank and privileges of the office the of Commissary-General of the United. States General Alger tells of upbraiding General Eagan for ill-advised utterances d.

and saysi af! "His court-martial, was not the outcome of GeneralvMiles charges, but the result of intemperate and language conceived in an indignation pardonable, perhaps, in its existence, but.unpardinable in its mode 9 expression. Miles Proud of Notoriety. General Allies seemed to be pleased, -with the HOtoHety which his startling statements before the commission and in his subsequent newspaper Interview gave hi, for again on the 31st ot March. -1899. In New York City, additiosaXt charges.

This Interview, which appeared on the of General "is 3lles was called upon, to deny under oath, and as he was unable to do so part of his statements in. it were used by the court of inquiry as a basis for investigation." General Alger then treats General 3IiIes'allegaUons specifically and in detail, reviewing the evidence brought out by the investigaUon and declaring that the allegaUons were entirely disproven. In concIusionGeneral Alger says: "The army had -won its babies in Cuba and the Philippines; Porto Rico had peacefully come into our hands after a few skirmishes, the protocol had been in operaUon for over four months and even the treaty of peace had been signed at Paris. Then comes the Major-General commanding the army of the United States with his charges. "While the allegations of General Miles were not blised upon facts, and were conclusively- disproved by two separate tribunals, unimpeachable in their composition-, ana methods of investigation, the Irreparable damage had been done.

A brave, honest and faithful officer, suffering under the lash of cruel, unwarranted and unjustified imputations, while exonerated from the heavy odium of those char- iis, as a result oi mem, sacrificed on the altar of his own passion, righteous in its existence but inexcusable in Its expression. Beside this. a false impression has been created throughout the country as to the food furnished the army, which may never be removed. The charges of General Miles, twice proven false in spirit and substance, are therefore the more iniquitous in their effect Yet the nresent Congress promoted General Miles to bp a Lieutenant-General and has thus far failed to give General -Shatter the rank Of Major-General to retire npon in, his old age, and this after his magnificent campaign at Santiago, as well as his former distinguished service."

Judd, the young son cf Mrs. A. F. Judd, residing on- Nuuanu street, has occasion to thank his lucky stars that an injury he received Friday at Moanalua while engaged in lassoing cattle, did not prove quite -serious. The young man accompanied by several companions, started out to a cat-tie corral, and upon reaching the pen, decided to assist in rounding up some cattle that were to be taken to the Damon ranch.

Judd pressed into service, a somewhat refractory mule and mounted upon this animal, started out in pursuit "of the fleeing steers. In some unaccountable manner the animal upon which "he was'mounted stumbled and threw the rider to the ground. The lad's foot caught in the stirrup, and he was dragged about the enclosure for the space of a minute or so over the rough ground of the corral. Upon being rescued from his perilous position it was found that the young man suffered a severe cut upon the chin, the lip was also badlv severed. Minor bruises about the face'and body were also sustained.

The necessary stitches were taken and he is now able to be about, although showing evidence of rough usage from his cattie lassoing experience. TNE STEAMER MARIPOSA CAME IN LAST NIGHT The Mariposa arrived in port last night at 8:14. Under rush orders and with fine weather all along the line, she arrived thirty-six hours ahead of time. One day X)ut from Pago Pago she spoke the Sierra which owing to disabled pumps was not getting along well as could be wished. However, figuring the time lost in the voyage between San Francisco and this place the Sierra had lost little time in her trip to the Colonies, although the Mariposa's officers not knowing of the storm delay before reaching here imagined her to be disabled.

The Mariposa will sail for San Francisco at noon today. She carried twelve saloon passengers and thirty-two steerage. Mrs. E. Cooke, Miss Grace Cooke and Miss Squire were only passengers tor this port The purser's record of the trip is as follows; Left Svdney Dec 22nd.

Legal Adviser Van De Vanter's' Luke warm Opinion In Support of His Superior's False Position Mc-Kinley Dragged Into the Arena. "The United States Attorney seems to have come to a conclusion opposed to that in your report of July 10, 1900, to the Secretary of the Interior." These words were indorsed by Attorney General Griggs upon a brief of Federal Attorney Baird when he transmitted it to Judge Van De Van-ter who holds the position of legal adviser for the interior department, a mile away in the heart of Washington city. This indorsement from the Attorney General of the United States sent as it was to the other department amounted to the dignifying of Colonel Balrd's opinion into that of his own. ihe subject at issue is the land controversy between the United States and the officials of the Territory of Hawaii When the Dole Morning Organ and its side kicker the Evening Echo yesterday stated that President McKinley had approved the illegal acts of the local executive real estate office of Dole, Dole they were apparently taking if for granted that their readers were unintelligent ignorant and fools on general principles. But jt seems from the published reports handed over to them by Governor Dole that Judge Van De Vanter has taken the same view as the local real estate office.

But Judges-Van De Is not Freemen- nor Attorney iJenerrl of the United States. Neither is he in any way connected with the department of justice. Some Inside History. There is story behind the alleged opinion, of Judge Van De Vanter. It is inside history and so very true that it will in all reasonable probability nut some very learned gentlemen on the defensive before this land matter is settled.

It came about in this way: Assistant Secretary of the Interior Rvan, who is not a lawyer, sometime since, without consulting Judge Van De Vanter, took it upon himself to write an opinion on this very question, the Hawaiian land matter. He took the illogical, illegal and unreasonable position held bv Governor Dole, Attorney General Dole and Land Commissioner J. F. Brown. Rvan is the of Van De Vanter.

Had he consulted the attorney it would have been another matter, but after the harm was done fpr Van De Vanter nut his superior in this very serious hole bv reversing him it micht have cost one or the other a verv good job. Now that is the exolanation of Van De Vanter's present lukewarm opinion nnhlished in yesterday's Orcan and Echo in which he differs with Federal Attorney Baird. It also explains the much commented unon difference of opinion alleged to exist between the departments of interior and justice on the Hawaiian land matter. Colonel Baird's instructions are still noitive and intact as thev were the dav thev arrived. His 'report is in the hands of the deDartment ot justice.

Here is what he said yesterday which sets aside all dreams: Only a Lawyer's View. "Judge Van De Vanter and I practiced contemporaneously at the Wyoming bar for a number of years, and I have great respect for his legal ability. Lawyers will, differ, and judges do not always agree. Most of the recent important constitutional questions were decided in the United States supreme court by votes of five to four. In one case that court re versed itself within a few weeks.

That was in the celebrated income tax case. I have carried out my instructions; my opinion is file Jn -the department of justice and there it must remain." In order to fortify a false position based on fabrication, misrepresentation and, deceit the Organ went back and dug up President McKinley's approval of land grants Previous to September 28, 1899, and sprung them again on the public yesterday morning as a new endorsement of Dole's recent transaction from September 2S, 1893, to September 2S, 1900. -In this connection it claimed that McKinley approved everything In the land matter previous to the latter date when as a matter of fact he approved everything previous to tne former date and Congress by law long ago directed him to do it It Is libellous for the Morning Organ to say that President McKinley had anything lo do with making Dole hold ud his hands. It, is surprising too after the" Organ's experience with Bill Kapule whom It dubbed a highwayman. What it should have said was that Dole would like to have the federal government to throw up its hands and let him have the lands to sell cr words to that effect CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR OFFICERS.

ALSO GALLS HIM A CRAZY MAN THE OLD LOOKOUTS MANY YEARS.3F FAITHFUL Lately Received a Four Hundred Christmas Gift From Business Men Criticised Rowed Wno Is a Relative of Governor Dole. The removal of Charley Potersorr from his position as lookout at Diamond Head has caused an outbreak: of adverse criticism against the department of public works.

The services of Charley Peterson as the lookout at Diamond Head cover a period of twenty odd years and the business men of the city have often shown their appreciation of his faithfulness by giving him liberal purses. Just before the last Christmas a purse ot $400 was sent out to the old This had been freeiy subscribed by the merchants and professional men of the city. Coming upon the heols of this seasonable acknowledgment of valuable public services, the news that Mr; Rowell gave Petersen "notice on Frh. dayglo take his clothes and rw'was something of a shock to the old watch- man's" friends It aroused resentment and crlticls! all along" the line and-many werehe expressions th the effect that "tile -public service would have been Improved In greater measure. If Rowell had been kicked' out instead of Peterson.

In the meantime the news -of tho public disapproval of the act reached the department of public and. iuu ui Lilt? iiuuit'iuua jThe old man is also stigmatized as be--leg -crazy at times, which, if a fnpt, lias never interfered In the prompt and accurate sightings and signals ho has made from his lonely post of duty. Talks of Murder and Insanity. "I see that The Republican blamos Mr. Rowell for this action," said Mr.

McCandless yesterday in a dictated interview to a Republican reporter. "I wish to say that I am responsible for the removal of Diamond Head Charley. I sent Mr. Rowell out thore Fridav to install a new man. I hatl asked the pilots to recommend some one for the place and the appointment of Captain Rosehill is the result.

"The removal of Diamond Head Charley is merely the ending cf a whole lot ot skirmishing and trouble. Charley has been quarrelsome He quarreled with the former lighthouse keeper and was continually causing trouble. With tne present keeper, he had been interfering until the matter had become very serious. "Several men from the surveying department were doing some work out by the lighthouse some time ago. In their presence, Charley attacked the lighthouse keeper and the surveyor told me that he believed that if he had not been present, murder would I have been committed." "Besides this." continued Mr.

after drawing a deep breath, "several citizens have said to me that they considered 'Diamond Head Charley' crazy at tlme3. We want no murders out there and while we recognize that Charley Peterson has been a faithful watchman for a long time, it was impossible to allow him to remain under late developments. Marvelous Personal Regard. "Caotaln Rosehill. the new man, 's an old sea captain and Is well known to the people here.

His appointmelt was made on the recommendation cf the. pilots and the change was considered absolutely necessary. "As I have said Charley Peterson has been very popular and has been a faithful watchman for a number of years, 1 have been always on friendly terms with him and have often called, on him with pleasure. It is with deep personal regret that this change was found necessary but since the action Jlast b.f criticized. I desire to state that the should be directed at me and not at Mr.

Rowell." Mr. McCandless stands a good show of being accommodated In his desire for criticism. As a matter of fact Charley Peterson used his right of free speech and through the columns of The Republican said some things about Governor Dole's relative. Mr. Rowell.

and his discharge followed immediately afterwards. NEW STEAM ROLLER. It Waltzes, Has a Fairylike Grace and Resembles a Dollar.
