An Old Resident Gone to Rest.

The death of Capt. Thos. H. Hebron,
which took place in San Francisco on
the 18th inst, removes one of our oldest
citizens, who has been a stirring bust
ness man for over thirty years. He was
a native of New London, Conn.,, and ar
rived here about 1858 or 4, in the
schooner Sovereign, of which he was
master. She was fine clipper yacht,
fitted with large cabin, and shortly
after her arrival made trip to San
Francisco in a passage of thirteen days.
On Captain Hobron's return, he laid his
schooner on the Kahului route, and be-
came identified with the East Maui
trade, making his home at Grove Ranch,
&here he started the sugar plantation,
known by that name, which lately con-
solidated with the Paia Sugar Company.
From his schooners and plantation he
accumulated quite large fortune. Dur
ing the last few years he engaged very
successfully in the Goldfish and salmon
expeditions sent out from San Francisco
to the North Pacific. He leaves widow,
one son, Thomas w. Hebron, and two
daughters, Mrs. William III. Bailey OF
Oakland, and Mrs. w. o. Smith of this
city. Also a brother Colt E. Hebron,
and sister, Mrs. B. F. Bolles, both OF
this CITY,

HILO NEWS LETTER.

Progress in the District-A Canal Being
Made-A Small Mutiny of seamen-
New Japanese Hospital, etc.
Three days before the brig Lurline
arrived at Hilo two men fbrothers) who
were working their passage, were very
independent and refused to obey the
orders of the captain. They threatened
to burn the vessel, so the captain re-
ports, as well as the passengers. On
being brought before the captain, one of
them struck him, and the other came to
help. Orders were then given to
have irons placed on them. On arrival
at Hilo they were sent to prison and one
fined $25. They were very green to
strike the captain and should have been
hung up to dry, for it was striking in
stance of utter depravity. The captain
is noted for his great kindness to his
men, and they would stand by him and
not see a hair of his head touched.
We have bear in town which came
over from Kau.
Hacks are getting very plentiful at
Hilo. There will be more demand for
them soon, if they charge reasonable
prices, after the Volcano road is finished
to the Hallway House.
1t seems absurd on the part of Homo
lulu officials to send officers to search
vessels that come here, as though our
own officials were not capable of manag
ing our own matters. The custom house
officer OF Hilo is right smart, and if it is
thought that help is needed it can be
had. The officials that have come here
on several occasions have never found
opium; they may have found opiates,
but opium never. The captain says of
the brig Lurline that has been searched
so thoroughly, that any man who finds
opium on board his vessel, he will pre-
sent to him fine suit of clothes.
The Japanese of Hilo district have
raised sufficient money to build them a
hospital. They have leased large lot
of ground on Front street, facing the
bay, and will build at once. They have
made an offer for the skating rink. The
Japanese have long needed building
for their sick and the location is excel
lent
Rev. E. P. Baker, of First Foreign
Church, Hllo, gave another very inter
esting lecture on Palestine on the 9Th
inst, illustrated by maps as before.
The Chinaman who was shot by an
other Chinaman at Pepeekeo, a short
time since, is likely to have his life
spared and is slowly recovering from his
wounds.
The brig Lurline will leave about Sat
urday, 2lst inst, with almost cargo of
sugar from Wainaku. Mr.. W. E. Scott
and wife of Wainaku, and Thos. Forbes
of Waiakea will be passengers.
At last the Waiakea and Waiolama
rivers are to be connected by canal
twenty feet wide. This has long been
desired and talked of. 1t will give
good drive on the beach to Waiakea
bridge; and, in rough weather when the
steamer Kinau has to land her passen-
gers on that side, will make the distance
much more short and pleasant to Hilo.
Men are now at work on the canal.

THH AMERICAN RIGHTS
And How They Were Looked
Afterby aPIucky Commander,
THELATEsT GERMAN OUTRAGE
An American Vessel boarded by Ger
man Marines at Samoa and
searched-A Sensation In the
senate-Fry's Plain Talk,

SAN FRANclsco, Jan, 3l,-Commander
R, P, Heavy, Of the United States
steamer Adams, which arrived here
from Samoa via Honolulu yesterday, in
an interview to-day said; "There was q
great deal Of commotion when l was at
Apia. Iwent down there with all kinds
Of orders suited to time OF peace, but
when the war broke out threw the
orders to the wind, They would do in
time Of peace, but were not applicable to
the condition Of affairs there, When !
saw Brandeis, the German minister,
leading 800 natives in support OF Ia.
masese, wrote him letter asking him
to desist. Isaid;
"'I am here to protect American citi-
zens and property, and ] will not walt
idly by and see You plunging the coun.
try into trouble, when their lives and
property may be destroyed. II you do
not desist / shall take such measures to
protect them as deem the circumstances
demand
"He sent word back that no Americans
or American property would be molest-
ed. In little while, though, much the
same tactics were repeated, There was
a meeting OF the consuls aboard the Ger.
man ship Adler, and at the meeting |
said to the Germans; Now, Just let the
natives fight 1t out themselves oh, no.
They couldn't do that, They said they
had proclaimed Tamasese King gand they
couldn't leave him now to fight 1t out
alone Then l said / would take hand
IN this. III you persist in aiding
Tamasese and fighting for him l will
participate, and pulled the Adams in
ahead OF tho Adler and would
have done my part In the fray
II the Germans had decided they must
have 1t. | made up my mind that the
Adams could throw, some shells, too. At
this they eased down and promised that
1t should be hands oil. Next there were
notices posted by Germans stating the
Bridge over the river at Apia and seper.
ating all the back country where the
natives were, would be taken up. l
tore these notices oil, said there
should be no demolition OF bridges,
Then ordered my carpenters up the
next morning and meantime word
having got out all around scores Of na.
tiyes came to aid in repairing and main.
tanning the bridges. also threw some
marines ashore TO protect 1t. 1t Is not
necessary to say that the bridge was not
destroyed. The Adams left Samoa De-
Cember Z and was not present during
the recent battle between Germans and
Mataaia's forces.

PARKERsDURG, W. Va, Jan. S1.-The
trial Of William II. Lewis, OF Wheeling,

States Court this afternoon, but has not

has been made out against him.
Thomas Miniiee, the Nicholas county

voting. The jury decided that he had
voted Illegally but did not do so wiliully.
The Judge has rot disposed OF the case.
Ira Woods, David Smith and Charles

on similar charge. All Of these five
are Republicans. The District Attorney
