I HKS IO HAWAII. Myst IM Ost for as Early War With Germany. S???EMOiTS OF GEN. M&GABTHOR At a Conference Over the Condi? tion of the Hawaiian Militia. I The Statements Were Evidently Not In? tended for Publication, and Gen. Mac? Arthur Says That the Report Mis? represents Him. Honolulu, Dec. IO.-Major Gen. Mc Arthur, daring the military confer? ence, said that in all probability war will take place between the United States and Germany in the near roture, which makes the Hawaiian National Guard of national importance. The Fan-Germanic doctrine is growing among German-A me ricans, few of whom volunteered in the war with Spain. He believes that German inter? ests are growing to roch an extent in South America that the strain upon the Monroe dctrine will eventually result in a conflict. Hawaii being a strategic point, no nation, he says, will make any attempt upon the shore line j i of the Pacific States, until the capture ' of the. Hawaiian Islands has been effected. < This statement/of Major Gen. Mac? Arthur has just been made public ttrTough the. report ofv Col Jones to Governor Carter. Col.- Jones's report quotes Gen. Mac? Arthur as saying that the Pan-Ger manic doctrine, which is being spread throughout the. world, is being fostered and propagated by the imperial Gov? ernment in every, possi ble way. It is strongest and getting stronger wherever German people settle, even among Germans who have been citizens of the United States for years. In connection therewith one fact o&nnot be overlooked, to-wit: There were few Germans in the American army during the war with Spain ; so Mi few, indeed, that the presence of a ??^German was noted as being a rare oc? currence. Tire theatre of operations is changing v gradually into -the Pacific. The Ger? man pcfople are multiplying very rapid? ly and emigrating in large numbers, the tide of emigration being directed B^by the German Government toward South America. The manufactured ; products of the German Empire over? ly balance their consumption, so that a zsarket has to be ordered for the. sur ?pj^us; The known policy of the Em perorrSs to acquire colonies, which will provide markets for such over-produe KSpo*?/>and places to which the tide of Bpagsgration shall be directed for strengthening the Fatherland. Throughout all South American countries the Germans are advancing in commercial power and prestige. The conclusion seems inevitable that j interests of Germany in South Amer-' 2ca? where today large colonies, num? bering hundreds of thousands, presage another testing . and straining of the Monroe doctrine, and in all probability ir contest of arms between that Power and the United States in the near future, in which event no one can now forecast the attitude of England and other European Powers. Therefore it is the duty of tiie Federal Government . to make itself as strong as possible, so as to be able to Care for itself in any - emergency. No nation br number of nations will be in a position to make an attack on the Pacific coast without first capturing, these islands. Gen. MacArthur says the report does not correctly represent his views in any particular and utterly misrepre? sents them in some. Otherwise he has nothing to say. CoL Jones is surprised at the publi? cation, and says that Gen. MacArthur's s expressions, made during a social con? versation, were intended to emphasize the need ot" strength in the isolated is ' lands. Governor George R. Carter, of Hawai i, said today : ' ' The pu blication of CoL Jones's report was not author? ized by me, but it occurred through a misunderstanding. At my request, Col, Jones had written out ? memo? randum cf his conversation with Gen. MacArthur, two days after it took place, for the purpose of preserving Gen. MacArthur's vier's regarding the National Guard. 1 had an interview with Gen. MacArth: r yesterday, in which he referred to tl:e strategic im? portance of fhe Hawaiian Islands in the event of war, but be did not specifi? cally mention 3iiy nation. He gave gratifying support to our effcits tc im? prove the Hawaiian militia. He said, in substance, that Hawaii was the do "minant strategic point of the Pacific. " NOT SAID FOR PUBLICATION. San Francisco, December 10.-Gen. ? MacArthur, who is quoted in a cabled dispatch from Honolulu as predating ^avvar between the United States and Germany, ha> not returned to this city. At army headquarters it was stated to.iay that be was?not expected hack from Honolulu until about Christmas, though he m3y come on the Sherman, due in a few da\s. Referring to the statement attribut? ed- to Gen. MacArthur, winch it ap? pears was transmitted to Governor Gaiter by Col. Jones, of the Hawaiian militia, a high militia officer said to? day r "1 cannot believe that Gen. MacAr? thur made the prediactioon attributed to him*. It is quite possible that in conferring with the fortifications board, which recently met in Hono lnlu, he may have incidentally refer? red to the possibility of war with some foreign Power as an argument in favor of properly defending the Hawaiian Islands, which, fas eveybody knows, are very important strategically. By way of illustration he may have men? tioned Germany as a growing sea and commercial Power, but he is too ex? perienced an officer and diplomat to make the rash statement with which he is credited." Other army officers expressed similar views, and all are confident that Gen. MacArthur would make prompt and entirely ?atisafetory explanation. Bilious Colic Prevented.

Colombian Troops Said to be Ad vancing on Colon but Report Cannot be Confirmed. Washington, Dec. IL-Secretary Moody has received a cablegram from Rear Admiral Glass saying a rumor has reached Panama that a small body of Colombian troops has landed on Colombian territory with a view to marching overland to the isthmus. Rear Admiral Glass has been unable to confirm the rumor. Information bas reached the navy department to tba effect that the Co? lombia troops which were said to have landed at "the month of the A trato river, near the isthmus, have with? drawn. ? It is the intention of the navy de? partment to increase its force in isthmian waters by the addition of- a torpedo boat destroyer which will act as a dispatch boat FROM THE SCENE. Colon, Dec. li.-The French steamer Fournel arrived here today from Savanilla and Cartagena. She was the first vessel to reach this port since the decree closing those ports to vessels to and from Colon w?s cancelled. The authorities of the department of Boli? var are still unreconciled to the loss rf the isthmus which they do not re ?a?r? as hopeless, as they have issued ?learance papers not for the republic Df Panam but for "Colon, department 3e Panama." The Fou rn el. agent has received no confirmation of the movement of Co ombian troops' on the Atrato river, Dut a passenger of the Fournel ?nform ?d the correspondent of the Associated Press that ? rumor was current at Cartagena that the cruiser Cartagena tbout 10 days ago embarked at night lime over l,pC0 troops bonnd for the jrulf of Darieu, with the object of con? ducting a road to Cauca. Gov. Melendez in an interiew today laid: "I have just learned officially, brough the passengers of the Fourne), hat the Colombian warships General Pinz?n and Cartagena left Cartagena ?t the beginning of December, having ?n board the same 450 troops which Jen. Tower brought to Colon. Thes* vere landed at the Rio Atrato, with nstrnctiens to bnild a road towards Panama. But after terrible suffering or four days, in their efforts to go up Le river in small boats and canoe:? ind being in want of provisions of all :inds, their supplies having been oaked in water and completely spoiled, he troops have since returned to Jar tagen a. " News has been received here from he interior to the effect that 4.0C0 Co ombian troops left Bogota a fortnight; go to go down the Magdalena river but n reaching Honda they received orders ountermauding the movement and re urned to Bogota December 2. It is believed that Gen. Reyes is re- t ponsible for the - countermanding of I he order. a THE KISCHINEFF Mf?SiCRE. The First of the Triais Resulting Well Under Way. St. Petersburg, Dec. 9.-The first rial of persons alleged to be involved D the massacre cf Jews at Kischineff, t is expected, will be concluded this ?reek. The court has already taken he evidence of 566 witnesses. One f the leading counsel, M. Shmakoff, [anded his brief to a colleague because te was compelled to go to Moscow on 'facial business. This gave rise to a eport that the counsel of the defense tad thrown up their briefs and that he prosecuting counsel were expect d to do likewise because of the lleged refusal of the court to inter upt the trial and undertake a resh preliminary investigation in irder to discover the real culprits. I Reports from Kischineff say that the nvestigation is a very thorough one, he judges visiting the scenes of the utrages in the company of counsel for ?otb sides. The other trials, in col? lection with the massacre have been postponed until January. | The Pit. The new game, that, wherever in rodeuc^d, has become at once more lopular than Flinch ever was.

But most colds are caught while sleeping too cold at night. Deep sleep causes sluggish circulation which renders the system sus? ceptible to change of temperature. To prevent colds, sleep under plenty of cover. To cure colds, use Rydale's Elixir, it les? sens the severity and shortens the dura? tion of a cold and prevents pneumonia, bronchitis and consumption.

Epperson were ab? sent The minutes of meeting held Nov. 25 were read and approved. A petition was read from merchants asking that scavenger carts be permit? ted to go into back lots of business houses for trash, instead of requiring them to place it in unsightly barrels and boxes on the streets. The request was granted on condition that mer? chants have the trash heaped in piles and convenient for drivers. The request of Special Officer A. G.

Council approved repairs on No. 2 Hos?, building, au? thorized tne commitee to have' Guard clous-: made secure and to call for bids :or painting the hose wagons. A letter wa?" read from the Board of cieaith in reply to the request of Council that they suggest an ordin mce to regulate the* construction of Iry wells for sewerage disposal and .rotection of the water supply. The 3oard declined to make any sugges ion, as they consider dry wells dan? gerous to health by contamination of vater, the distance at which contami ?ation is improbable being unknown. They further expressed the opinion hat the only safe plan is to abolish ill dry wells and establish a sewerage ivstem. The Street Railway ordinance wa* ^resented for the second reading. Mr. Schwerin asked that^consideration of he ordinance be postponed to a full neeting of council as this is a very mportant matter to which council hould give due thought and on whicli ivery member should have an oppor unity to vote. A resolution was adopted by which a special meeting ?as appointed for 8 o'clock p. m. Fri? lay 11th instant and no other busi tess.

City Council Adopts Ordinance, Granting 40-Year Franchise and Five Years Tax j Exemption. A special meeting of City Council, called for the purpose of considering the Street Kailway ordinance, was held at 8 p. m. last Friday. Mayor Stuckey and Aldermen Boyle, Dick, W. H. Epperson, G. F. Epperson, Finn, Hurst and Schwerin were pres? ent. Absent Alderman Chandler. The clerk presented the Street Rail? way ordinance for a second reading. Mr. Schwerin asked that this reading be for the benefit of Aldermen who were absent at the first reading and not be considred as the second reading. Council decided this to be the second reading. Mr. Schwerin stated that he wished to see the railway established and would vote for the ordinance, if it were amended in two particulars, viz: 1st, that the company shall run a line down Liberty street at least as far as Levi street, as there are a good many large taxpayers in that section-that will be all that the eastern section of the city will get, which is but a small concession and they should have some representation in public improvements. 2nd, Eliminate that part of the ordi? nance which exempts the company from taxation for five years, as it is unconstitutional and council has no right to exempt any corporation except manufacturing establishments : and be? sides, he was opposed to the tax ex? emption because the franchise is too valuable to be given away for nothing. Messers. Finn, Dick and G. F. Ep? person also supported the claims of the Liberty street line. Mr. D. A. Minor said that he aud bis associates had given much thought to the question cf the best route, that they were satisfied that the proposed Liberty street line could not be oper? ated except at a considerable less, which the enterprise in its infancy cuuld not afford. They do not expect the entreprise to make money under j Bve years, and they ask Council not to impose conditions that will cripple them at the start. Mr. Minor further ?aid the company would be glad enough to occupy other streets as the demand for increased railway service 2[rows and a reasonable hope of com? pensation is apparent. The ordinance was read. Mr. Schwerin asked that it be sub? mitted to a lawyer for an opinion, which Mr. Boyle thought would be a ;vise precaution. Dr. Dick stated that ?he ordinance was modeled after that of mother city in this State where a street railway system is now in opera? tion. The committee by Vvhora the ordi? nance had been submitted recommend ?d that a proviso be inserted that all ;ars be of modern, up to date style, md also that Oakland avenue be in? cluded in the streets through which :he railway shall run. The petitioners -vere present and agreed to these imendments. Messers. G. F'. and W. II. Epperson noved that the ordinance, as amend ?d, be adopted. Mr. Schwerin offered, as a sbstitute. :hat the franchise be refused unless ;he Liberty "street line be included and ;he tax exemption be eliminated. There was no second to the substitute. The ordinance was then adopted and >rdered published by the following I rote : Yeas-Boyle, Dick, Epperson, W. Pl., Epperson, G. F., Finn, Hurst, stuckey. Nays-Schwerin. The business which the meeting was | railed to consider being thus disposed >f, council adjourned. Safeguard Against Accident.
