Rev. J. A. Cruzan gave prompt inti-
nation that any white people, burned
out and destitute, would be assured
assistance on applying to him at his
residence, 1876 King street.
The ladies Of Fort-street church,
assisted by ladies OF the Bethel,
spread free lunch, with hot coffee, for
the people rendered homeless by the
fire, in the Vestry of the former
church. The young men carried
similar refrcshment to the gallant
firemen. Rev. j. a. Cruzan had
Fort-street Church placed ut the
disposal of the homeless for shelter.
Kaumakapili Church was rendered
for like purpose, while the Minister
of the Interior, Mr.. Gulick, placed
the immigration Depot ut the dis
posal of the Chinese representatives
to house their suffering fellow
countrymen.
All the roads leading out of town
were teeming with the unfor-
Inmates driven out of their homes,
some of them having a portion OF
their household goods with them.
There was good deal of stealing
done, us is usual at large fires every
where. Some liquor having been APP
propriated by the mob, large am
cunt of noise and riot was the result.
After the blowing up of buildings
had been determined on, in the fire,
one of the sailors of II. b. M. s. S.
Satellite shouldered a case of powder
and carried it round the corner of
King and Nuuanu streets, the heat
at the same time being so great as to
scorch his hands and face.
Mr.. Gonsalves took good photo
graph of the fire during its height,
from the Bell Tower
AFTER THE FIRE.
On Monday, the Government Sur
vey, under direction of the Superin-
tendent, Hon. w. ID. Alexander,
began making plan of the burnt
district. Fortunately, just before
the fire the bureau had completed
survey of the same territory below
King street.
On Monday, one of the soldiers
guarding the ruins drew his sword
at Chinaman. A British marine
told our reporter, who happened
along at the time, that the Chinaman
had just before plugged" native.
The affair ended without bloodshed.
At the meeting of the Privy Coun-
Gil, 10Th inst, it was resolved to
devote $4,000 from the treasury
for the relief of sufferers by the tire.
OF this amount, So, 900 will be spent
in erecting model frame dwellings
for the natives burned out, who
number $50 persons.
During the fire DR.. Emerson dis
covered the corpse of Chinaman
at n house on King street, near
Maunakea. With the assistance of
Mr.. Manuel Nunes, the doctor re-
covered the body and delivered it
over to Chinese.
Many business stands, vacant for
longer or shorter periods, are being
occupied by merchants burned out
on Sunday. Houses long advertis-
ed in vain for tenants are also being
taken by Chinese who have not lost
all their fortunes with their homes.
Their Excelencies Messrs. Gibson
and Gulick have been appointed by
the Cabinet to take charge of relief
measures. They have intimated Il
desire to receive counsel or informa-
ton from citizens.
The Minister Of Interior has sent
official letters to Captain Black
burne, of ii. b. Ms :. Heroine,
and Captain Abingdon, of II. b. Ms
S. Satellite, thanking them and the
officers and men of their command
for the valuable aid rendered by
them at the fire.
Mr.. +. w. Damon was to be met
everywhere, during the fire. His
knowledge of the Chinese language
rendered his services doubly valua-
BILE in directing the unfortunate
people in the removal of their goods
and otherwise.
During the fire Mr.. Cassidy,
Superintendent of the Bell Tele-
phone Company, was working like a
Trojan saving posts. Some idlers
were descanting upon his folly, hut
they only showed their ignorance,
for n post with its insulators costs
more TO replace than many instru-
