Rumors of Roynllsts Plots-Robert Louis
Stevenson "StudyInG Our Plans mo
More Subsidies to sprCcistes.
HoXoLuLU, Oct. II, VIA SAN Francisco.
Oct. lS.-Rumors OF political plots by
the Royalists to restore the queen have
been prevalent, but nothing definite has
developed. 1t is stated that the object
of Robert Louis Stevenson's visit here
is to study our plans regarding Samoa.
The Germans threatened to send him
out of Samoa in case the islands were
annexed by Germany, and Stevenson is
trying to prevent annexation to save his
Samoan estates.
President Dole returned this after
noon, but it is doubtful ii he assumes
his office at once as his health is no!
yet good enough.
The subsidy of $1,000 month due
the Oceanic Steamship Company hes
not been paid for several months, and
it will not be paid in the future unless
ordered by vote OF the council.
1t is believed here that SpreCkels has
formed an alliance with the Pacific
Mail, whereby the latter company will
not compete for Honolulu business.
The Pacific Mail has raised its passen-
ger rates to San Francisco % per cent
over Spreckels' rates. 1t is believed
that this combination is the reason for
the governments determination to pay
no more subsidy to the Spreckels line.
The financial condition OF the govern
ment is very satisfactory.

THE MIowERA WRECKED.


a Big Steamship Wrecked in the Mouth
of Honolulu HarbOr-An Passengers
Safe.
HoSoLuLU, Oct. II, VIA SAN FRANClsco,
Oct. lS.-The Canadian Australian
steamship NIiowera lies a complete
wreck at the mouth Of Honolulu har.
Dor. She was telephoned on October :
a little after sunset, aud within titty-tive
minutes she struck heavily upon reef
ut the entrance OF the harbor. Captain
Scott had not waited for q pilot to
board his vessel. When the accident
happened the passengers were still
asleep, and up to the hour they were re-
moved two days later no excitement oc-
| Cured on the steamer. II was expect
! ed they would be able to float her next
day, but this proved Elusive, as the
vessel was digging her way into the soft
coral reef. The next day she righted
and sat in the trough she had plowed
after swinging broadside upon the reef.
The agents OF the company give both
the provisional government and the
United States, through Admiral SKIER
rett, the greatest praise for their efforts
to save the steamer.
On October 0 the Hawaiian govern
ment ordered that one half the OK
penses OF sending the steamer Austria
Tia to San Francisco be paid, amount
ing to s., 800 from the Hawaiian treas
ury. This resolution was passed so that
aid might be returned by the Mariposa
on October 10, which might prevent q
south wind from blowing the wreck into
the channel and blocking it. The
Miowera, without her fittings is said to
have cost 10000 pounds and it is esti-
mated that her total cost is about half a
million dollars. The agents here do
not know the amount OF her insurance
but estimate it at less than her value.
The passengers Of the steamer go for
ward with the mail by the Australia.
Yesterday afternoon they presented n
card OF thanks to Capt Scott Both the
people and the government here blanc
the captain for the disaster.
