HERSELF A REBEL.

Queen Liiiuokalani Rebelled Against
Her Own Government.
BosToN, Feb. 12.-An evening news
paper has special from it's Honolulu
correspondent, dated February Sd, con-
sisting OF an interview with President
Dole, in which that gentleman makes
several points not hitherto brought out.
He dwells with emphasis on the claim
that it was the queen herself who was
an insurgent. "She had rebelled against
her own government. This revolt on
her part was equivalent to abdication.
There was then no government at all"
eaid President Dole. Annexation or
not, the provisional government was
built to last, and was so looked upon
from the first. No reelection of presi-
dent will ever Oe allowed. AS to the
plans for the future, Dole would state
nothing of definite nature till doubt
was set at rest on all questions in which
the Washington government may have
an interest.

INwEsTERN NEW YORK.

Buffalo Threatened with Water
Famine on Account of tho storm.
BUFFALO, N. Y, FeD. ia cold
wave has swooped down on Buffalo and
Western New York, followed by
heavy fall of snow. A water famine is
threatened, though men have been kept
at work removing the slush ice which
has drifted into the inlet of the tunnel
that supplies the city from Niagara
Falls. 1t is announced that an ice
bridge has formed and solidiied in the
passage. Ice flows down the river. A
great amount OF timber was brought
down and was frozen tight in the
bridge. 1t is unusual to have bridge
form in February. Advices from other
nearby towns indicate that this end of
the state is being blanketed with snow.
The area of severe cold is extensive.
Buffalo is practically without a water
supply tonight. The heavy northeast
wind blowing forces the water in the
Niagara river below the inlets of the
pumping station, and there is but little
water in the Dodge street reservoir. In
the hotels and private houses no water
can be obtained above the first story,
and but little there. The water has
been blown completely out OF the Ham
burg canal, and but a foot or 80 is left
in the Erie canal. Slush ice is filing
the engine wells at the pumping sta
tions. and if the wind does not abate
the gravast consequences are feared.
Should big fire occur the fremen
would be powerlees. 1t has been snow
ing since l O'Clock and the streets are
badly driited. Street car traffic is i'm
peded. Trains from the east and west
are late
