An application was made on be-

The judges decided to allow the
appeal of the sultan, on the ground
that he is an independent sove-

a REGIMENrAL DRILL.
The Government Forces are
Given a Moonlight
Parade,

the sidewalks on both sides Of
Palace square were crowded last
Wednesday with people who had
turned out to see the moonlight
drill given to the government
troops. The full moon made the
night almost as bright as day, and
all the maneuvers could be seen
perfectly.
All the volunteer companies had
turned out, and each of the six
companies had nearly its full COM
pliment of men. The drilling was
above the average, and the way
each order was executed showed
careful and constant drilling.
After marching and counter
marching on the square, the troops,
headed by the band, were marched
out King street to Alapai, thence
to Beretania street, down Beretania
to Fort street, then to King and
back to the square.
The drill was all over about 8
o'clock.

1t is not unusual for colds contract

succession of colds is what causes
chronic catarrh and bronchitis. One

most certain to be the result. Fol
this reason it is of much Importance
that colds contracted at this season OF
the year receive prompt attention.

HoNoKAA, Nov. 20.-While Hilo
district has been for tho. past week
deluged by heavy rains, thirsty
Hamakua has had scarcely a drop,
Still the kahunas say it is not fal
off. But when tricky old Jupiter
Pluvius will listen to- our en-,
treaties is doubtful.
Mr.. William Conradt Of Hilo
formerly of Hamakua, is at Kukui-
haele, where he has been engaged
by the Pacific Sugar Mill Co. to
reconstruct the building that was
destroyed by the late fire.
The Honokaa and Paauhau sugar
plantations celebrated Hawaii's
last deceased male monarch on the
10Th with a day of crest and grace"
on the 18th inst.
Hamakuans have read the post
master-generals report of his
official tour of inspection of post
Offices of Hawaii, especially of the
windward towns, and note a mis-
take in the mention of Paauhau
Office with Mr.. Renton in charge.
1t is the PaauIlo post Office which
the aforementioned gentleman
has charge Of.
The Honokaa post Office should
have some more private closed
boxes. Several parties are anxious
to rent boxes.
The Waialeale which left so sud-
denly with the news of the Kukui-
haele disaster on Wednesday last,
though not expected till Sunday or
Monday, arrived off Kukuihaele on
Saturday at ppm. She brought a
mail, especially printed matter.
Paauhau plantation is sinking a
well at the bottom of the Paauhau
gulch, near the mill, on the Hilo
side. They hope to find fresh water
before reaching the seas level.

morning from the basement of the
executive building to the old cleo

been converted into a kitchen,
while the other room, erstwhile &C.

H1Do, Nov. 20.-A new case of
scarlet fever, or scarletina, was re-
ported on Monday, the 18th inst.
Mr.. H. c. Austin's second child "a
years old), who had been ailing for
few days, developed rash on
Monday last which the doctor pro-
nounced the fever, and the agent of
the board of health promptly quar-
antined the premises. The fever,
however, has taken a very mild
form, and the patient is now almost
free from fever and the other chill
dren in the same family show no
indications of taking the disease.
Mr.. Austin was permitted TO come
out from quarantine to attend TO
his duties after fumigating his
clothes for twenty-four hours under
the supervision of a physician.
Miss Hitchcock and the two pa
tents at Wainaku have recovered
from the fever and will be released
from quarantine as soon as the
rash disappears, or the results oft.
The government school at Haa-
heo, about Il miles from town, was
closed the other day on account of
a throat disease which has been
prevailing among the Portuguese at
Paukaa and vicinity, but the COM
plant is now on the wane.
Every precaution is being taken,
and it is hoped that neither the
scarlet fever or throat disease will
become epidemic. No new cases
to date.
Rev. and Mrs. E. P. Baker re-
turned on this steamer, and though
Mr.. Baker is still suffering from
the effects of his indisposition in
Honolulu, he is about the house
and will doubtless be in condi-
ton to resume his duties in a short
time.
Mr.. C. C. Kennedy made a re-
remarkable ride on horseback from
the volcano house to Hilo, in two
and three-quarter hours, and not
being satisfied with that record, re-
turned to the volcano the same
day, making the trip in three and
one-quarter hours, or a total OF SIX
hours for the round trip, reaching
the volcano house again by 5
o'clock Pm. The occasion was to
see Captain Matson on business,
who only expected to be in town
for few hours.
Deputy-Collector McStocker came
up on business connected with the
custom house here by this steamer.
After completing his business, visi-
ted the volcano on Saturday, re-
turning Sunday.

some little distance below the
place where this well is being bored.
another well was sunk some years
ago, and fresh water is said to have
been found in living stream. The
following story was told the other
day by an old kamaaina, a laborer
who assisted in boring it: Some
twelve or thirteen years ago, Mr..
Otto was manager of the planta-
ton, and decided to sink a well.
he chose a spot in the bottom of the
gulch, a 100 yards or more from
the sea. In a few weeks the well
was drilled to depth of so or 100
feet, when they came to a large
and lmmovable rock. After tug
glng at it for a day the manager
decided to break it by means of
powder. He told one of the men
to drill a hole six inches deep in
the middle of the rock. The lab
orer, not wishing to openly dis
pute the smallness of the six-inch
drill made it eighteen inches deep,
In which a fuse was placed which
appeared to be long enough to let
the man who lit it have time to
escape. 1t was lit by the nephew
of the manager. He had hardly
got half way up the well. when the
explosion took place and piece
Of rock flew up and struck him on
the hand, almost entirely destroy
ingit
After the explosion, the bottom
of the well was examined and
large stream of water was seen
issuing from the assures in the re-
naming rock. But the manager
became SO wild at the accident to
his nephew, that he ordered the
well hole to be re-filled to the top.
A week later a coasting vessel ar
rived from Honolulu with large
chest Of powder and drilling i'm
plements and materials; but the
manager ordered the chest to be
returned to Honolulu.
The No. 4 Knights of Pythias
lodge Male held its semi-monthly
meeting Saturday evening last.
Next Monday mass will be cele-
brated at the Catholic church.
There is only one Catholic priest
in this entire district, and conse-
quently mass is celebrated in
Honokaa only once in each month.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hall, of
Hamakua, leave On Monday for
Honolulu per steamer Kinau from
Kawaihae. They expect to remain
a fortnight.
The loss caused by the late con-
fagration at Kukuihaele mill is
put down at much larger figure
than was first estimated.
G. S. and w. B. Hardy leave for
Makawao in the second or third
week of December. They expect
to return towards the middle of
January Of the new year.
The rain is said to be coming,
and so is Christmas, but Santa
Claus is expecting to have to travel
through Hamakua ON Christmas
eve through very dry weather.
For the past week the police
seem to have been successful in
their raids on law offenders in
general.

SLAUGHTER oFMATABELEs.
The English Press Aroused

South Africa.

1O~fOCAf1 OOOObSA -Cs AZ RoOAAO
mind is fully occupied with the
troubles in South Africa, which
have assumed dual importance,
inasmuch as not only the future of
Matabeleland, but the future of the
South African company itself is
now involved therein, owing to the
strong fight thrown upon the COM
pany's proceedings and history by
an influential section of the Eng
fish press. The London Chron-
icle leads the attack on the COM
pany and is ably seconded by
Henry Labouchere in Truth, while
the News does not spare it.
The company is described as
bankrupt, and its attempt to ac-
quire Matabele and is said to be
the last card of desperate men.
The stories of the atrocities which
the company's forces are declared
to have committed in order to force
the Matabeles into war, excites,
however, even more attention than
the review of the seamy side of the
company's promotion and its pres
ent financial position.
Settler Davis version of the So
called Matabele raid, although
officially declared to be inaccurate,
is supported by other colonists. In
a letter to Labouchere the writer
maintains that the Matabeles were
simply massacred. Between twenty
five and thirty were killed, and in
his own words, at was like buck
shooting, for the poor devils took
to their heels, and we galloped up
and shot them down point blank"
If the statement of another set
tier can be relied upon, such
slaughter would create little sur
prise, as the writer describes the
company's men as having been re-
cruited at Johannesburg, and as
the sweepings of the town and the
police courts. A more degraded
lot could scarcely be imagined.
The Staying of the Matabele en-
voys in cold blood at Adams camp
is severely commented upon, as the
official explanations are decidedly
unsatisfactory.
The News today says: "Sir Henry
Loch's account is a wretchedly un-
satisfactory story. 1t may wear
another aspect when the details ar
rive, but it seems sickening bust
ness as it stands. 1t does not stand
alone. There is a dark story of
the wholesale destruction of the
helpless creatures forming the tail
end of the impi. We want more
daylight on the whole business
An interview is published today
with Charles Rudd, originator of
the famous Rudd mining con-
cessions obtained from Lobengula
i've years ago and since &C
quired by the chartered company.
He declares that Lobengula is
not SO black as he has been
painted. He himself found
Lobengula genuinely friendly, and
he was a just magistrate among
his own people. His cruelty is
only a national trait. His feelingt
toward the whites were eviden-
when three regiments danced be-
fore him, demanding to be allawed
to kill Rudd and his friends. Lo-
bengula refused, saying, They are
my guests"
When parliament reassembles, it
is understood that it will be asked
to appoint a commissioner to inves-
tigate the whole affair.

TO AID THE RoYALIsTs.
A Story Which Made Sealing
Captain Angry.

Captain Dan Mclean is about
the maddest man in town. Captain
Dan fitted out the sealing schooner
Edward e. Webster for a cruise to
Japan, and yesterday morning one
of the morning papers published a
story which left the inference that
the vessel was going on o piratical
expedition. According to the arti-
Gle the vessel had a crew of nearly
forty men On board and several
cases ofrepeating rifles were slowed
away in her hold.
If this was not enough, the re-
porter who wrote the article mis-
took a small Lyle life-saving gun,
which was lying on the vessels
deck, for breech-loading cannon,
and at once jumped at the conclu-
sion that the bold skipper either
intended to commit some act of
piracy or was going down to Homo
lulu to aid the royalists.
The truth of the matter is the
Webster is going out on her regular
cruise for seals and has no more
men on board than she always car
ries. The rifles are such as are
carried by every sealer, and the So
called cannon is carried in obedi-
ence to United States law, which
requires every vessel to have a Lyle
gun on board in case of accident

The usual row is being raised in
the house of commons over the
treatment accorded to the savage
Matabeles in Africa. One member
wished to know whether the gov
eminent approved of the murder of
the Matabeles for the purpose of
plundering and selling their lands, :"
but was promptly called to order
by the speaker. No doubt the peo-
pie who are sympathizing with the
Matabeles can produce considerable
evidence that the English are not
treating them with tenderness, but
they will keep out of sight the fact
that these savages, who are neither
capable nor DESTROYS of utilizing
the vast and fertile territories in
tested by them, have evidently de-
termined to prevent the settlement

Horses and cattle never look so miserable

cattle are turned loose should have some rude
