SUGAR MILL IN FLAMES.
THE PACIFIC PLANT ON HAWAII
DAMAGED.
4 Loss of Four Thousand Dollars to the
Insurance Companies Incurred
Yesterday.

The Pacific sugar mill at Kukuihaele.
Hawaii, was partially consumed by fire
yesterday morning.
The steamer Waialeale came in this
morning day ahead of time to bring
the news of the disaster, and. from the
vessels officers the following facts re-.
garding the fire were learned:
About 9 A. N. Thursday an alarm was
sounded, and shortly after the mill was
ablaze. The fire continued till 9 o'clock
when, after "a hard struggle lasting sew
eral hours. the flames We're extinguished
The fire is supposed to have been
started by a spark from the smoke.stack
falling into the cane walk, where n
blaze was kindled, and roaring fire
started before being discovered.
Manager Forbes is quoted as having
said that the damage cannot be repaired
in less time than two months. The
greatest loss, it is said, will be in re.
spect of time in crushing the cane now
waiting, and which, on account of the
drouth, is being harvested earlier than
usual, and which cannot be allowed to
stand without great loss by reason of
shrinking and drying out
The steamer Waialeale will probably
return early tomorrow morning to the
scene OF the fire.
THE MACHINERY SAVED.
A call at the office of Schaefer & Co.,
the agents for the Pacific Mill, brought
to light the following additional infor
nation
The fire took place Wednesday morn
ing, instead of Thursday, as was pre-
viously reported, and started in the
boiler-room, assuming uncomfortable
proportions before the night Waterman
realized what had happened. The
machinery is SAID to be practically I'M
injured, as only the woodwork is burned,
and that, Schaefer & Co think, can be
replaced within two weeks, There was
no other damage done and no cane de-
stroyed.
The loss is estimated, from the neces-
sarily brief reports furnished, at about
$4,000, which is fully covered by iI.sur-

charges against Henry Poor The Court
says: After review of the evidence
l am of the opinion that it would sup
port but simple charge of embezzle-
ment from the Hawaiian Government,
and the records show that the defend
ant was acquitted on that charge in a
court Of competent jurisdiction. As TO
the indictment charging the embezzle-
ment of money from V. Y. Ashford.
do not see how | can entertain the plea,
as the evidence tends to show that this
was a separate transaction, and further,
the parties are not the same as in the
indictment under which the defendant
was acquitted. | am, therefore. of the
opinion that the plea of the defendant
is good SO far as the three indictments
charging him with embezzlement of
money belonging to the Hawaiian Gov
eminent, and TO those indictments the
plea is sustained, but as to the indict-
ment charging him with the embezzle-
ment of money from V. V. Ashford the
plea is overruled.

THE BOwSTRING HEMP.


Something More About n Useful
Plant.
!Sanseuierid (bowstring hemp requires
good, rich soil to succeed well, and WILL
under favorable circumstances, acquire
its full growth in about twelve months
time. Ordinarily, however, it will not
acquire its full growth until some time
in the second year. When once the
land is stocked with its growth, it will
always, when cut, get full growth
from the roots inside of twelve months
so that il is perfectly safe after the sec
ond year to count on full crop annual.
w, the growth each year becoming
denser, and in a few years becoming so
thick that it would appear be impos-
s,ble to cultivate it. This, however. APP
gears to be needless, as, when once
fully established it takes entire posses
sion OF the soil, entirely eradicating
everything else. 1t does not appear to
materially exhaust the soil, as it will
grow for number of years in the same
place and continue to make a vigorous
showing
SdnseUierid is essentially "a tropical
plant. 1t will. after reaching maturity,
it not cut, stand without injury for
number of years. The plant, at the end
of that time, will afford just as good
fiber as in the first or second year of its
growth. l am satisfied that a planta-
any necessity for renewing it or for in
terfering with it in any manner San
secierid will, after it Is well established,
afford crop of five tons of clear fiber
per acre-worth, upon estimate, about
800 per ton. l selected few square
feet, where the growth was thickest, as
an experiment, to show how much a
crop was capable of producing, cut and
cleaned the leaves and found it gave at
the rate of thirteen and one-half tons of
clean fiber per acre. / do not, however,
believe that the average crop will go
over five tons per acre, which | consider
n fair estimate.
1t will be seen from the foregoing ac-
count that the cultivation of Sdnserierid
rs an industry of great promise to this
country. and would go far to help the
coffee industry to far greater measure
of success than if carried on alone.
The Bureau is setting out in the Gov
eminent nursery as many of the Sdnse-
rierio plants rs there is room for, and in
the course of the next two years will
have many thousands of the plants to
distribute. The plant has been grown
in the gardens of Honolulu for many
years as an ornament with but little
knowledge of its value. The cultivation
should be extended as much as possible,
and any person having patch of San
serierid growing on his premises would
be doing a public benefit by setting out
as many of the plants as they convent
emily can. To propagate the plant the
leaves are cut into ections about four
inches long and inserted into boxes of
earth TO the depth of two inches. The
soil must be moderately dry as too
much moisture will cause the leaves to
rot. The boxes must be placed in a
moderately SHADY place, and in a few
weeks time the plants will put out
numerous fibrous roots which will be
followed by suckers, The plant can
also be readily propagated by sections of
its rhizomt or roots, which grow with
out difficulty. j. MARsDEN.

GOOD NEWS FOR HAWAII.

What Minister Wiliis Says About
Coming Legislation.
In an interview with Minister Willis
to-day he expressed the opinion that
there would shortly be legislation
in the United States favorable to
these Islands. He anticipates that
the sugar bounty will be re-
pealed and that duty of one
cent per pound will be placed on i'm
ported sugars, This will make net i'm
provement to Hawaiian planters of
about $l5 ton under present contracts.
