Logans Letter on Labor in Hawaii Describes Colored Workers’ Prospects
Daniel Ouana writes from New Orleans in September 1899 detailing Hawaii’s sugar boom and labor needs. He outlines mixed races in cane fields, the push for white labor, and colored labor prospects under U S rules. He notes wages, housing, schooling, and steady year round work, plus opportunities for land settlement and home ownership for disciplined workers. The letter discusses immigration policy, planter practices, and plans to discuss colored labor migration with Hawaiian officials and the Greater American Exposition in Omaha.

Delinquent Kamalo Sugar stock sale amid shareholder action
The Kamalo Sugar Company stock sold this morning at J. F. Morgan’s auction hall amid shareholder protests against promoters. Cecil Brown, acting for the Kamalo Sugar Company, bought most shares for about 20 cents each, totaling over $6,700, while Captain Harry Evans purchased 75 shares at 56 cents. Brown dismissed remedies against the promoters, blaming them rather than the company. Meanwhile, coastal Hawaii reports red fish signs in omen of death and upheaval, linked to royal deaths and possible political disturbances, with sightings at Kanai and Haapai areas aboard the Kenabou steamer.
