blood undergoes changes which greatly
debilitate the system.
The complexion Is apt to be -allow

If something is not done to overcome
these conditions, they will last indefi-
nitely and may result in Severe sick

LATEST FROM THE WRECK.
The HilO Going to Pieces on the
Kau Coast.

KAU, March 2, 1S94.-As a po-
liceman leaves for Hilo today l
take the opport unity to send you
the latest report from the wreck.
Since the Hall left l learned
from the deputy sheriff, w. J.
Yates, who just returned from
there, that she is fast going to
pieces, and the water is washing
clean over her and nothing can be
saved.
Shortly after the captain and
crew left the vessel the natives ap-
peared on the rocks and made sew
eral attempts to reach the vessel,
and finally one succeeded by swim
ming out, as it was impossible on
account of the rough sea to launch
a canoe. The native reported that
when he reached the vessel the
water was almost even with the
quarter deck, and at times wash
ing over it, when looking down
into the cabin he saw a clock in
the after companion way, and he
could not get that.
Later on quite a large school of
sharks were seen swimming around
the vessel.
Just before the Hall was to
leave the captain decided to wait
over to find out more particulars
from the vessel.
Great praise is due to Deputy
Sheriff Yates for his promptness in
proceeding to the wreck during
the heavy thunderstorm.

PULLED DOWN A FRENCH FLAG.
A Wealthy Citizen of the Island of
Riatea Ordered Shot.

The San Francisco Chronicle
prints story received by a private
letter on the brig Gallilee of re-
volt on the island of Riatea, one of
the Society group in the South
Seas. On Dec. oath last the rebels
pulled down a French flag on the
newly erected Government build
ing.
The trouble grew out of diff
Guilty between the supporters of
the French Colonial Government
and native traders, who are daily
growing more jealous of the
FreDchmen and their growing COM
mercial influence. Immediately
after the occurrence the French
transport Durance was dispatched
to the island from Papeete, and the
commander ordered that if the
man who hauled down the flag
was not surrendered the town would
be blown off its coral foundation.
The rebel, who happened to be a
wealthy citizen, was surrendered
and taken on board the vessel,
which sailed at once for the penal
settlement of New Caledonia. 1t
had been ordered from Papeete
that he be shot five days after his
arrival at New Caledonia, and
there is every reason to believe the
order was carried out.
A similar uprising took place
about two years ago, when the
French first seized the island. The
natives were then silenced, how
ever, by a war vessel dispatched
from Papeete. This latest disturb
ance occurred when the French
flag was hoisted on the new town
hall at Riatea. When the rebel |
faction discovered the tricolor, they |
cast lots TO see who should break |
nto the building and pull down
he flag. 1t fell to the unfortunate
citizen who was subsequently de-
ivered up by the maicontents to be
hot.
