THE PUNCHBOWL ROAD AGAIN.

The road to the top of Punchbowl,
OF which an account appeared in
this paper month ago, is rapidly
approaching completion. Without
doubt it is going to be of very great
benefit to the town. The residents
of all classes are going to enjoy it,and
1t will doubtless be quite an attrac-
ton to tourists. Formerly the views
from the top of Punchbowl, one of
the most picturesque on the Islands,
has only been seen by the more
energetic of our citizens and visitors.
1t is very probable that not a
1.-THE OF the adult population of this
city has climbed the height and en-
joyed the view from the summit, or
drank In the pure air that is to be
obtained on arrival there. Now all
this will be at the disposal of every
man be he rich or poor. The grade
of the road is so easy that the pedes-
trian will feel no effort in ascending
and even ladies and young children
will not find the ascent too much for
their powers. Care has been taken
to make the road perfectly safe for
wheeled vehicles, walls having been
built wherever the hillside is at all
precipitous. In fact it will be ali
ideal road leading to one of the
pleasantest of spots, for we feel sure
that once the road is completed our
citizens will not be satisfied till the
bowl Of the old crater is itself beau
titled. Here is a fine chance for
individual liberality, and no doubt
that liberality will be forthcoming
when it is needed.
Public works not actually useful
in bringing in money, are yet very
useful to the general we'll being of a
city. The more parks, the finer
buildings, the better schools you put
up, the more the citizens will take a
pride in their city and the more
literally they will themselves assist.
Honolulu has reached that stage
when she can begin to take pride
in herself. She has good roads,
many handsome buildings, public
and private, lovely natural situa-
ton and fine scenery in every direc-
ton. She has the latest improve
ments in civilized life, as the tele-
phone, the electric light, the tram
cars, and good postal and steamer
service both inter-island and abroad.
The motto of our citizens must be
ever onward and upward" To do
SO they must spend little money
and we feel sure that they will do SO.

PORTUGUESE POLITICAL OPINIONS.

An Editorial Article From the "LusO
HawaiianO" of August 18th, in which
the Editor asks-''Wnl They Continue
TO be PrOteeted2'
clio Fon, editor of the Chinese news
paper of this city, was arrested last We'd
nesday, for completely in the late insur-
treason. 1t is probable that arrests are
now being made of other Chinese.
Will the pro-Chinese gentleman of the
reform, which constitutes the present
government, still continue to advocate
the cause of their Celestial proteges,
since having reason to believe that they
took part in planning the destruction of
their government.
What do they think of the return
which they are now receiving? Moth
ing less was to have been expected.
We rejoice to see our Portuguese, (who
constitute an enormous colony in this
archipelago, and which in spite of be-
ing the most useful is the least favored,
and whose Importance to these islands
not all yet realize), so far from being
suspected in the late Instruction, hav-
ing on the contrary, many of them left
their homes, and taken rifle in defence
of the government, at the risk of losing
their own lives and of leaving their
wives unprotected and their children
orphans.
How many Chinese and Japanese,
who bring no good to these islands ex-
cept to the pocket of half dozen influen-
tial stockholders, grasped a weapon in de-
fence of the Hawaiian Government?
Nobody saw one who did.
The general elections are approach
ing, and with them approaches the
opening of the Parliament; and we are
going to see what will become of
Reform"

A NEW NAVAL TERROR.
England's Latest SuppIyShip-A Quicl
Fighter and a Fast Sailer.

EngI3nu'S Latest HuACh
Fighter and a Fast Sailer.
A new acquisition to England's
navy was launched recently and
christened the Vulcan. She is de-
signed as a twin-screw torpedo-depot
ship, but is fast protected cruiser
and formidable fighting craft as we'll,
and represents an entirely novel
type, says the New York World. The
construction of the Vulcan was be-
gun on June Is, 1888. She is of
$500 tons displacement in
short, than any of the large Indian
troop ships, and three times as large
as many cruiser. She. is built of
steel, her hull alone weighing 3,170
tons, and her principal measure
ments are as follows: Length, $50
feet; beam, 68 feet; mean draught,
% feet. The vertical keel is of an
unusually heavy and substantial
character, and is 3 feet 6inches high.
The cast-steel U-shaped sternpost is
extra strong, weighing five tons.
The vessel is divided into numerous
water-tight compartments, and is
protected by a continuous steel deck
6 inches thick in the slope and q
inches elsewhere. The engines are
of the triple-expansion type and will
give collective indicated horse
power under forced draught of II,
600. They will drive the ship at a
rate of twenty knots (23 miles) and
eighteen knots GOT miles) at sea-
There will be storage for 1000 tons
of coal, an amount sufficient for
5000 miles steaming at eighteen
knots an hour. She will have bal
ance rudder similar to that fitted to
the Spanish cruiser Reina Regent
and to the Inman steamer City of
New York. This will enable the new
warship to turn complete circle of
not more than 400 yards in diameter
in little over three minutes.
AS a torpedo-depot ship she will
be admirably adapted for the work.
She will be floating factory, full of
FORCES and workshops for the repair
of torpedo-boats and torpedoes. She
will carry an immense supply of tor
pedoes, submarine mines and all the
necessary gear of submarine work
on a large scale, and she will also
have upon her decks small fotilla.
probably eight in number, of second
class torpedo-boats of the largest
size. These she will be able to hoist
overheard and dispatch in all direc-
tions at few minutes notice. The
Vulcan will also have a torpedo
armament of her own, consisting of
six launching tubes, some of which
are to be under water. Regarded
more particularly as cruiser, she
will possess qualities which will
entitle her to rank among the most
formidable unarmored cruisers of
of the world. She will have weapons
which at close range will be capa-
BILE of penetrating armor up to
nearly sixteen inches thick. The
quick firing armament will be the
most powerful of any ship in the
world. It will enable her to dis
charge on each broadside a storm of
from eighty to $50 projectiles a
minute; and should she ever be at
tackled by unarmored cruisers or
torpedo boats, she would be able to
give them warm reception.
