PLAGUE IN HAWAII ABATING. Surgeon Gnral atWashlnsjtOBi Re ceives Kneoaragtos; Report. Washington. March 6. -The surgeon general of the marine hospital service has received a report from Surgeon D. A. Carmichael, at Honolulu, summing up the plagne sitnation there and at Kainhihi, on the island of Maui, and at Hilo, Hawaii. At Honolulu he says that up to Feb. 19 the situation looked promising. On that day three new cases, all fatal, were reported. The infection in these cases is supposed toEave been from Asiatio foodstuffs. Dr. Carmiohael girea the results of observations of a trrp made by Consul Haygood, President Wood of the board of health and himself to Kaluhui, Maui and Hilo. At Kaluhui jthe inhabitants of Chinatown, where the disease was discovered, had been moved to a deten tion camp. Chinatown destroyed by fire and the dead burned. . No eases had de veloped since Feb. 10 and the situation was well in hand. Sugar is shipped directly from Kalu hui to San Francisco. All cargoes are discharged in the open- bay. Arrange ments were made for the shipment of sugar direct from the plantations to the landing plaoe and thence to the light ers, so as to avoid any danger of inteo tion by the men engaged on the work. At Hilo the doctor found only - one esse of the plague reported. Tha case resulted fatally. The party returned ta Honolulu Feb. 1. There hare been so few cases lately, the doctor adds, that the anti-plague-serum has not had a fair trial. POLITICS ON CUBAN ISLAND. Spaniards May Elect Mayor-la He Tana and Cieafucxos. Havana, March &. Governor Gen eral Wood says that as soon as the com plete census returns are received the recommendations of the election com mittee will be formally approved and published, thus enabling preparations to be made forthwith throughout the island for elections May L . There is very little doubt 'that the Spaniards who are as yet unregistered, if they choose -to vote, can elect the mayor in Havana and Cienfuegos as well as other cities, possibly, if they unite upon a candidate. This fact is recognized here, and as a conseqaence candidates for the mayoralty are begin ning to cater to the Spanish vote. It is generally believed that Senor LaCoste's action in removing the prohi bition against displaying the Spanish flag means that he would be a candi date. Senor Oolaszo. while writing for The Cnbano, showed increasing pro Spanish tendencies and he is following the same line in his newspaper. Other candidates are benor Messonier, the labor leader, prominent member of the National party, and John Qalberto Gomez, a negro orator of considerable popularity and an editorial writer on the staff of The Discucion. Some of the friends of Senor San Miguel, editor of The Lucha, are urging him to come forward, but he. has no ambition for civic honors. NEGRO FATALLY STABBED.

She first begged her brother not to kill Teague, then she changed her mind and said he ought to be killed. Three witnesses say Teague cried out: "For God's sake don't stab me to the. heart."

H and the city physicians have vaccinated no less than 15,000 in that time and he is satisfied the left arms of fully 50,000 pa tients have been punctured by their physicians.

The- Morning Leader says: ' ' : - Of one thing we may be certain: Ce cil Rhodes, who knows South Africa, has made up his mind that the annexa tion of the republio will not bring- the lasting peace whioh cur imperialists prophesy. Mr. Bhodes is so sure this will not happen that he is prepared to set to work at once on the fortifications of Kimberley. -We indue to think that Mr. Rhodes is preparing for a possible armed con flict with the imperial faction which he fought at the polls and in parliament until 1896. . He is preparing to resist any attempt on our part to interfere ac tively in South African affairs, either in the interests of the -Dutch elector,, whose vote is already threatened, or of the Kaffirs, who seem doomed to vir tual slavery. "This is not, indeed, an extravagant hypothesis. Rhodes has consistently maintained a policy of 'Africa for the Afrikander' and on his lips the latter word Is synonymous with the financier.

London,- March ft. The Boers in northern Oape Colony are in full retreat to the Orange Free State. The posses sion of Stormberg'puts General Gatacre in railroad communication with General Clements at Coles berg, for though the Boers partially wrecked the railroad, it can be quickly repaired and thus the entrance of additional British troops into the Free State will be greatly facil itated. The position gained by General Bra bant at Dordrecht is reported to be ex ceedingly strong. According to The Times correspondent the Boers' num bers alone enabled them to retreat from Dordrecht, practically unhindered. He also reports a violation of. the white flag by the Boers and that they deliberately fired at dose range on a stretcher party. General White's garrison has begun to leave Ladysmith. They say the road .to Colenso presents scenes that exceed in horror those depicted in Dante's "Inferno." Dead men and animals are lying ' mutilated and pu trifled in the trenchss formerly occupied by the Boers . and fill the air with a sickening stench. In cases where hurried burial had been attempted the rains have washod the earth away and out of the earth stick ghastly legs and arms of dead burghers. A dispatch from Osfontien says that another important British success will cause President Steyn to flee to Preto ria, leaving a provisional government at Bloemfontein which is likely to make peace overtures, those Free Stat ers not wishing for peace trekking into the Transvaal and there helping to make a stand which most of the British military critics now point out will con stitute the most difficult and deciding feature of the war. - LABOR IS AT A "PREMIUM. Alabama Mines and Kuroaoei Forced to Import Operators. Birmingham, Ala., "March 6. Be cause of the readiness of the big new steel and iron works now completing at En le y to begin operations and the large number of furnaces, mills and mines being started up everywhere in North Alabama, there is a labor shortage in this section, both- for stilled and un skilled work, and labors gents are scour ing the , south for the latter class and the north for the former. During the next week 800 additional rolling mill men are expected to reach here from , Ohio and Pennsylvania, while a large number of ' steel workers are to come to work at Ensley. Hun dreds of negroes are at work in ore. and coal mines, having been brought from Georgia, the Carolinas and the south west, bnt this will not. nearly satisfy the demand, while wages are higher than ever before for the, work that is to be done. - ' Battle at Dordrecht. Dokdeecht, March j& Following yesterday's success General Brabrant again engaged the Boers today with ad vantage,' holding the ; position captured yesterday. There was some smart fighting this morning, the British los ing five or six men and capturing the Boer fort,"thus vastly improving their position.
