THE NEWS IN HAWAII.
Both Sides Said To Be Confident of Win
ming Waiting Game.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17.-The steamer
Oceanic arrived from Hong Kong and
Yokohama, via Honolulu, this morning.
She brings the latest advices from the
Hawaiian Islands, dated Honolulu, May
10. Regarding the situation, her advices
say: 1T is now waiting game, with
both sides apparently confident and say
ing and hoping that their particular fac
tion will win. The most important
event of the past few days was the ap-
pointment of Lorin A. Thurston as min
lister to Washington to succeed j. Mott
Smith. 1t has been known all along that
the position was Thurston's, and that he
could have it whenever he gave the word
and when his acceptance of the mission
arrived on the Mariposa May 4th, he was
Immediately appointed and his commits
sion forwarded on the Monowai, which
left here May 5.
Minister Stevens has definitely an
nounced that he will leave Honolulu for
his home in the United States May "a.
He will leave the United States Legation
in charge of Consul Severance. Both of
these officials are still enthusiastic in fa-
vor of annexation, and say that it is the
only logical solution of the political prob
lem here.
"Mr. Stevens has been quoted as feeling
very bitter toward Commissioner Blount
on account of the latter's action in haul
ing down the American flag, but as the
United States minister last Sunday gave
an elaborate dinner to Mr.. and Mrs.
Blount, at which all present seemed to
enjoy themselves thoroughly, that feel
ing has apparently changed. y

SULLIVAN MUST APPEAR.
Authorities at Alfred Not Disposed to
Stand Amy Trifiing.
Especial to the Prass.l

ALFRED, May 17.-Holy wrath reigned
in the bosoms of the authorities here to-
day, and perhaps it was quite as we'll for
Bail Commissioner Hamilton's peace of
mind that he did not face the court. The
propriety of counsel acting as bail COM
missioner is at least questionable, to say
nothing of its legality under the circum-
stances.
Sulliyan's failure to appear in answer
to the capias this morning was naturally
looked upon as an affront to the court, if
not defiance of it, and when it was
learned that the notorious pugilist had
left the state, the wrath of County At
torney Perkins was not concealed. The
inference was drawn by all that Sullivan
intended to skip his bail. Nothing but
his appearance in court tomorrow morn
ing, will remove the impression that his
absence today caused.
Sullivan's counsel, Col. Bradbury of
Portland, has telegraphed that he will be
here tomorrow, but as Sullivan himself
is the man wanted it is not clear what
good end the appearance of the learned
counsel will effect. Certainly no attempt
on his part to secure mol prosl will
succeed; and unless the indicted man is
here in person his bail will in all proba-
bility be declared defaulted. Nor will
the case end here. The county attol n v
is not minded to compromise the case On
the payment of bonds, but will seek Sui
livan's extradition. He is very deter
mined in this. Indeed all the authorities
seem to feel that they have been imposed
upon, and that Sullivan's failure. to ap-
pear is deliberate attempt to eyade JUS
tice.
On the other hand it is understood that
the Boston bruiser's counsel will profess
Sullivans readiness to appear for trial
as soon as his theatrical tour comes to a
close, which will be the 9th of this
month, and will ask for continuance of
bail, promising that the sureties will do
their best to have the indicted man on
hand at whatever day is fixed for the
trial. 1t is urged that insistence upon
his presence in Alfred this week would
be an injustice to his manager, to the
company with which he plays and to the
theatres at which he is booked to appear.
County Attorney Perkins, however, is
in no mood to grant favors, and the
chances are that bail will be defaulted
tomorrow. It is felt that men like Sulli-
van should be taught that Maine Justice
is not to be trif1ed with, nor the man
dates of her courts disregarded.
The assertion that Sullivan's offense is
only misdemeanor is secuted in Alfred.
The authorities here insist that it is
felony.
Lawyer Lizoite' willingness to salve
his wounds with lucre will have no effect
upon the course of the criminal proceed
ure against Sullivan.

A MIRACLE OF THE SEA.
Two Men Found Clinging to Small Boat
Torn from Their Sinking Ship.


Torn from Their Sinking Ship.
GLOUCESTER, May 17.-One of the
most miraculous rescues ever recorded
by Gloucester fisherman was reported
by Captain John McInnes OIL the
schooner Edith McInness, on his arrival
this evening from the Grand Banks.
About seven this morning, when twenty
miles southeast of Cape Cod, Captain
McInnes sighted vessel flying signals
of distress, and laboring heavily with
the sea breaking over her. All sail was
crowded on, but before the McInnes
could reach the disabled craft she sank.
Two men were seen on the bottom of a
boat. The sea would wash them off,
when they would swim back and regain
their hold. A dory was launched from
the McInnes, and with great difficulty,
Capt. McInnes, with two of his crew
who volunteered, succeeded in rescuing
the two men, who were nearly drowned.
After they were brought on board, nour-
ishment was given them, and after a
while they revived. The lost vessel was
the schoonersL. A. Martin, Capt. Eben
Eaton, and a crew of two men, 9S tons,
burden belonging in Deer Isle, Maine,
and owned by S. G. Haskell of that
place. She sailed Monday from Green's
Landing for New York with cargo of
cut stone. consigned to Booth Bros. Af-
ter leaving, she had moderate, but thick
weather until Tuesday evening, when it
commenced to blow heavily from the
southeast. At about midnight the YES
sci was hove to, making good weather
until three this morning, when she was
boarded by sea and thrown down. Her
cargo shifted and she became unman-
ageable. An attempt was made to right
her by shifting the cargo, but the stone
was so heavy that this was impossible.
When the McInnes was sighted the col
ors were set, but the vessel suddenly
lurched and went down, carrying one
man. The rest of the crew jumped over
board. After they had struggled in the
water a few minutes, the boat broke
loose from the sinking schooner and
came to the surface, when they got on
the bottom. The drowned seaman was
Miriam Powers of Deer Isle.

FROM THEIR HoMEs:lN BOATS.

FROM THEIR HOMES:lN BOATS.
Newcastle. Pa, People Leave Their
Houses by the Second Story Windows.
NEWCASTLE, Pa, May IA large
portion of Newcastle is covered with
water to the depth of eight feet and the
flood is still rising. All the boats in the
city are being used in rescuipg people
from the second stories of their houses
where they had to take refuge. Furnaces,
factories and mills are flooded, several
planning mills have been washed way,
and dozens of houses have been moved
from their foundations. Huge drifts are
being formed against the railroad bridges
and loaded cars have been run on them
to hold them down. The water rose so
fast that the prisoners in the town lock
up had to be rescued by the fire depart
ment.
