ment was rendered for 5000.

AMERICAN FLAG STILL FLYING.
Hawaiian Guns Salute the U. S.
Ship Boston.
Committe on Foreign Relations Report
Favorably Upon Annexation Ex Queen
Liileaukalnni Still in Retirement.
United States Sailors Chartered on
Shore at Honolulu

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17.-Tho
steamer Belgic arrived at 3 o'clock this
morning from Hong Kong and Yoko-
homa via Honolulu. She reports the
American flag still flying at Honolulu
and everything progressing smoothly
under tho new government.
The steamer Monowai from Sidney
was at Honolulu, and was to sail four
hours after the Belgic on tho 5th IN
slant. Martial law was declared of by
the provisional government of Hawaii
Everybody is anXiously awaiting the
news from the United States and tho
sentiment OF annexation is steadily
growing Ex-Queen Liliankalani is
Still in retirement at her private resi-
dence. She is confident that her envoy
to the United States will meet favor
able reception.
The United States steamer Mohican
which sailed from Marc Island navy
yard January 20. was just entering the
harbor OF Honolulu as the Belgic sailed,
but there was apparently no necessity
for an increase in the naval force. A
detachment Of sailors and marines from
the United States ship Boston is still
quartered on the shore and the whites
and natives are willing to await the
action by tho Washington government.
The provisional government has, in a
great measure, won over the public con-
hdence, having amply demonstrated it's
ability to cope with the situation.
IL. Nj. Damon, minister OF finance n
the Thurston cabinet, has been appoint
ed vice. president of tho provisional
government by tho executive and ad
vtsory committee. Damon is ono of
the commissioners now in Washingt ton,
d. G.
On the End instant President Dole and
other members Of the provisional gov
eminent paid an official visit to tho
United States ship Boston. The
Hawaiian flag was run up to tho mast
head and salute of twenty one guns
given in recog of the new govern
ment.
WASHINGTON, Feb 1.-THE commit
tee on foreign relations reported to the
Senate in executive session to-day the
Hawaiian annexation treaty with the
reorganization that it be ratified. I,
was placed on the executive calendar
where it can be reached by majority
vote at any time.
Mr.. Castle, Hawaiian commissioner
created quite q sensation among the
au CHoi lIies OIL tAe DlStrlct or Column bia
to-day by public announcement that
ne mas seen at least one person afflicted
with leprosy walking the streets of
Washington. lie made this announce
ment apropos Of Vests speech against
Hawaiian annexation yesterday. Castle
says 1t is impossible for lepers to appear
on the streets of Honolulu as they are
isolated and not allowed to run at large
as they are in Washington
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1893-02-18

1t is moro than likely that another
search will BIO made for the stolen prop
erty which was buried between Basic
City and Waynosboro by Sayles, tho
burglar who was recently committed to
the Albany penitentiary. The property
consisted of silver plate, spoons, ETC.,
and was stolen from Rev. j. w. Lynch
about eighteen months ago. Sergeant
Griffin was deputiZod to mako a thor
ough search according to the, plan,
which was done, but tho booty was not
brought to light.
Sergeant Griffin was seen by n TINES
reporter who informed him that the
diagram drawn was defective, as the
spot marked as the storing place was
dug over without finding any traces of
the spoils. The sergeant is of tho
opinion that the thieves, while being
able to go directly to the spot, had made
q mistake in their description, as one of
the points particularly spoken of as q
trestlo was only narrow foot bridge,
while the trestlc proper was located
some distance from the spot indicated
in the map which guided the operations.
lie is of tho opinion that tho booty in
stead Of being hidden on the left of the
direct line between Basic City and
Waynesooro Is on the left of the trestle
over which there is a track joining with
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
Just before this intersection there is
V-shaped tract of land which might
answer to tho description, and 1T is
moro than pro sable that the thieves
failing to dispose Of their property in
Basic City took the loss freuuented
track over the trestle on their way to
Waynesboro and secreted their plumber
to the left Of tho road
a synopsis of tho search has been for
warded to tho agency with request for
moro details

ROANOKE'S STREETS.
The Mud and Sleet Abounds in Every
Direction.

The Mud and Sleet Abounds in Every
direction.
For several weeks the streets of the
city have been in a deplorable condi-
ton. Men and boys have waded around
in rubber boots, land then got muddy
and the iairer sex have had their fine
dresses soilep so badly that no cleaner
or dyer can ever bring them back to
the original. This last fall of sleet,
slush and snow has made the path of
the. pedestrian quite as hard as the way
OF trangressor. The street question Is
now condition, not a theory, and the
people are disposed to so regard it.
They daily as themselves the question?
What must we do to be saved-from
mud and water?" and would like to
ask higher court-the board of public
works-what remedy they propose to
administer to these ills.
There Is, perhaps, no city in Vir-
ginia-and certainly no one with the
pride and spirit of Roanoke-that has as
much mud to the square inch as Ro.
anoke has.
The intersection of Jefferson street
and Railroad avenue is q disgrace to tho
Commonwealth Ladies get off the
street cars and wade through mud,
black as ink, for thirty or forty feet be-
fore they strike terra frma The men
roll up their brooches, which is priv-
logo the other half of the race do not
enjoy, and wade through much the
worse for doing SO. Even the waller
dog has lost his color, and is otherwise
SO disfgured that his friends do not
know him.
A few lapfulls of mud has been
scraped up and hauled off aud that is
all. 1t is as deep as ever and as "slick
as glass" The sidewalks are full of
holes and the holes full of water The
only way for the city to get pay for the
ground thus occupied is to rent them
out for turtle pastures or mosquito in.
cubators, and these things should pay
tribute to the city the same as the pea
nut vender or the patent medicine fakir.
The truth of the matter is, about a
dozen Virginia steers should be hitched
up. the street force doing the driving,
and haul some of the mud off. At this
stage of the game nothing else will do
the business properly.
