THE DREDGER.
Progress of the Work Near the
Mail Dock.

Mail Dock
Captain Macaulay, who is run
ming the dredger, stated Monday
that the dredger had exoavated
about 700 cubic yards of mud,
sand and coral from the vicinity of
the P. NJ. S. S. Company's wharf
during the last month. The aver
age depth for two-thirds of the
length of the wharf, or about 400
feet, is 30 feet, the depth in several
places being 81 feet. When the
dredger commenced working last
month, the depth found 10 feet
from the wharf was 10 feet; now
the average depth, 80 feet out from
the wharf, is 80 feet, or 10 feet
deeper than when the machine
commenced operations. Hard coral
was met with at the Waikiki end
of the wharf, and a solid bank of
the same substance was found 400
feet further in. A kind of black
sandstone was also thrown up by
the cutter.
The dredger will complete deep
ening that wharf soon, and it will
then work at the coal wharves.
Crowds Of natives may be seen
every day at the dumping ground
at the EsPlanade gathering broken
pieces of coal as they fall from the
large pipes. Natives who live in
that locality have several thousand
pounds of coal put up in bags.
When the dredger gets to work at
the coal wharves, enormous guam
titles of coal will flow out of the
pipes, and will give the crowds of
natives employment collecting it.
Pocket knives, old coins, ships
ETC., are among the
curious articles that are dug up
every day by the dredger, and peo-
pie working on it have a good sup
ply Of these curios for exhibition
to their friends.

to a height of nearly 1000 feet. The
lava poured down the sides Of the
mountain in streams, destroying
the crops and all vegetation at its
base.
The grand sight was witnessed
by the people living in the district,
and the alarm was great, particu-
larry among the common people.
The severe eruption lasted several
hours, gradually subsiding, but the
lava is still flowing from the crater.

The Island State.

Hawaii is ours. i new sister is
really to join the great American
constellation of states. True, she
is surrounded by water but she
shows good judgment in giving her
hand to Uncle Sam in marriage.
1t will doubtless be happy and
beneficial union. The wealth she
viii bring to the Golfers Of our land
is ample and the inflow Of Ameri-
can spirit, genius, and enterprise
will make her a grand sister: in
return she will add incalculable
wealth to this country. Ii will be
the browning glory Of any admins
tration. 1t would be useless to
dwell upon the manifold blessings
that will accrue to both countries
IN the bond Of mutual union that
will exist IN her statehood and
part Of the union. As a strategetic
point, a. q source % commercial
revenue she will add iucaIculabIe
wealth to this country and grow
up an important factor in the DOW
er and glory Of the American re-
public. All hail Sister Hawaii :
Welcome to the outrageous tree Of
liberty Step right into the bless
ings Of our free institutions and
be free! Crown your land
with the blessings Of religious liber-
ty, protected by law. Oregon

ed drama founded on Hawaiian
history at the Opera House on Sa-
turday evening.
The drama was entitled Laieika-
val or Lady Of the Twilight. The
story was z disconnected one but
such as it was, it was fairly well
acted-as Hawaiian acting goes.
The members Of the cast knew
their lines perfectly and the promp-
ter had but little to do. The scene
shifters were not up in their parts
with the result that drops and
scenes became very much tangled
up at time.
The audience was q good natured
one and nobody found fault when
q hitch occurred.
The second piece, called Land
ing Of Lono and his death" was
the best portion Of the evenings
entertainment It pictured the
landing and death Of Captain Cook.
When the captain received his
death wound the native portion Of
the audience went wild with de-
light
4 number Of tourists who were
in the audience were pleased with

FLAME FROM a CRATER.
MexieaHs Startled by a Lofty
Pillar of Fire.

CITY OF MEXICO, Mar. 25-There
is great alarm felt among the people
living in the Tonola district of the
State of Chiapas over the eruption
of the San Martin volcano, which
has been belching forth fame, lava
and ashes for two weeks.
This volcano is situated in the
very midst Of populous agricul-
tural country, and at its base were
extensive coffee plantations. It
has been deemed extinct for more
than a century and gave no indica-
ton Of becoming again active until
about three weeks ago, when there
was a series of slight shocks of
earthquake felt in that locality,
followed by blast Of sulphurous
smoke from the volcano.
The inhabitants Of the surround
ing country abandoned their homes
and sought refuge at a safe dis
lance from the volcano. These
earthquake shocks and the smoking
condition Of the crater we're followed
by one Of the most magnificent and
awe-inspiring eruptions ever wit
messed. 1t occurred at night, and
the heavens for 100 miles around
were lighted up by the pyrotechnic
display. The fame rose straight
up from the crater Of the volcano

4 TRIBUTE TO The PRO
VISIONAL GOVERNMENT.
Letter From a Former President
of Oahu College.
pNLY AnyERrIsER AND HAwAu.

AN GAZETTE:
The widespread and intense in
terest aroused in Hawaii among
our most intelligent and thought
full people is, to say the least, phe-
nomenal. Never before have for
mer residents of Hawaii been piled
with searching questions about the
Paradise Of the Pacific" as to-day.
The fact of former residence at
the Islands marks q man as the
object Of inquiry on every hand.
ISpeak of this as a matter of ex-
IRENE Importance to you at this
stage Of the proceedings.
Let me illustrate this by a con-
crete example from this place and
lex uno disco omnes.'
One Of the leading attorneys OF
our city came to me soon after the
startling announcement had been
made that Hawaii sought annex
alton to the United States, and
spent more than an hour in CONVEX
sation about the Islands. Not salts
fed, he came again and again, and
finally suspecting from the trend of
his questions that he was thinking
Of a new home, I asked him direct
" if such was his thought and he
promptly replied in substance
''Yes sir, if those Islands come IN
der our flag, I should seriously
consider moving there. And l am
not alone in this matter. Hundreds
and thousands would entertain the
idea under those conditions who
would care nothing about Hawaii
as foreign country. I would not
expatriate myself, but if l could own
q little land and have a home in
such q climate and stay under the
flag it would be a great tempta-
ton"
Marx Twain voiced the senti-
ment of all who have been privi-
legged to reside at the Islands, in
that beautiful and oft quoted tri-
butte to Hawaii and whenever the
stars and stripes shall become the
banner of that land of song and
dream, the attitude of thousands of
Americas best and most intelli-
gent citizens would be to look upon
it with favor where row they are
utterly Indifferent. I congratu-
late you all upon the unimpeach-
able character and integrity of the
men who head this movement, as
truly as upon the wisdom and
courage that have marked all their
actions. We hope that the days
of suspense and waiting may be
shortened, and your petition to our
government favorably acted upon.
We are all anxious for an explana-
ton of President Cleveland's action
in Withdrawing the treaty from the
United States Senate. and trust
It Is not an unfriendly act.
Cordially yours,
". G. MERRITT.
