The health officers continue to assert
that the situation is not alarming, and
that they will prevent any epidemic of

reported seems to be steadily on tho
increase it is a question OF how much
their efforts toward stamping out the

officers no end of worry and anxiety.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9.-The most
important news brought by the steam
ship Australia, which arrived from Hon
olulu last night, is that United States
Minister Stevens had established a pro-
tectorate over the islands. This act
was acknowledged at o'clock on tho
morning OF tho LIST instant, when the
stars and stripes were raised over Aliu-
olani Hall, and Minister Stevens issued
the following proclamation:
UNITED STATES LEGATION,
FEB. l. 1898.
ITO the Hawaiian People-At tho re-
quest Of the provisional government of
the Hawaiian Islands hereby, in the
name of the United States of America,
assume tho protecti IN OF the Hawaiian
Islands for the protection of life and
property and the occupation OF public
buildings on Hawaiian SOIL as far as
may be necessary for the purpose speci-
fed, but not interfering with the adj
ministration OF public affairs by the pro-
visionsl government This action Is
taken pending and subject to the nego-
tiations at Washington.
(Signed) "JouN L. STEVENS,
Envoy Extraordinary, Minister Pieni-
potentiary of the United States.
Approved and executed by c. G.
Wilt, captain of tho United States
Navy. commanding the United States
steamship Boston.
The Advertiser says, regarding Mr..
Stevens proclamation, that the act was
principally due to the incessant agita-
tion on the part of certain whites, who
have always been curse to the country,
coupled with tho English and native
newspaper efforts to discredit and block
the new government. These agencies
spread through the town feeling OF I'M
easiness and distrust. Tho provisional
government concluded that some posi-
tive step was necessary, and that it
would be tho wisest to call on the
United States for direct assistance.
The Advertiser continuing, says: At
S:9O a. m. on the lst, the Boston's bat.
TALON landed under Lieutenant Com
mander Swinburn and sent up to the
government building, where detach-
ments from tho volunteer companies Of
tho provisional government were also
drawn up. Lieutenant Rush read Min
ister Stevens proclamation, and on the
stroke of nine, the star spangled banner
fiuttered up the staff on the tower. The
flag was saluted by the troops and mar
ines and the heavier guns of tho Boston,

The statement in Yesterdays TIMES
that Thomas l.. Sarles, of this city,
would leave to attend to his farm in
Stokes county, North Carolina, has
brought out some interesting facts in
regard to the history of that old place.
The tract consists Of $500 acres of very
valuable farming and timber lands. 1t
has on it q worry fine mineral spring of
water and in tho numerous veins on it
may be found nearly every mineral
known to man. 1t has q fine and his.
toric old mansion or castle, around
which cluster some of the grandest
memories of the old North State.
1t is the birthplace of Richard M.
Pierson, 9 chief justice OF tho State for
number OF years and who conducted q
very fine law school in Surry county for
number Of years. 1t is also the boy
hood homo of the Bynums and the
Glenns, names that stand high in North
Cardinals history. The architect of
this mansion, which was built just after
the revolution, camo from England, and
soven years were occupied in the build
ing of it.
President Washington on his famous
Southern trip stopped at this n ansion
as the guest OF the Martin family, who
were very patriotic in the revolutionary
war.
Pilot Mountain casts its cool and.som-
bre shadow over the old castle, and the
Blue Ridge stretches itself boldly and
sublimelY along the western horizon

ing. 1t was one OF the Oldest banking
institutions in this section, and people

ness. Great excitement prevails here
among business men over tho affair.

$1,000 against Rockafellow 81 Co. The
draft was dishonored this morning, and
the bank closed its doors at once.
Early in the morning, it is said, o

Rockafellow in favor of Thomas H.
Atherton, of this city, for $50, 900. to
secure the Peoples and Second National
Banks for money due from F. V. Rocka-.
fellow S Co. The mortgage is on his
residence on North River street, which
is worth many thousands of dollars.

in the bank this represents the only
available assets. Among the hundreds
of depositors arc many Of the leading
business men of the town and several
hundred people whose savings for years
are in the broken bank. The heaviest
