Towns all over the United States

on Tuesday night it was known that
81, 500, 900 had been contributed by the
people throughout the country for the
fire sufferers in Chicago. St. Louis
sent several trainloads Of supplies.
$4,000 from the city and over $4,000

Duke Alexis and the Japanese Prince
Iwakura each donated $4,000. It is es-
timated that unrecOrded gifts of the
value of 50, 800, 900 were SEM Dor after
the fire from towns in Canada and the
United States. BE-
The condition of things after the fire

burned over and left a desolate waste
of ashes and debris and the actual loss
in cash value exceeded 100000, 600.
More than 10, 900 people were rem
dercd homeless. Tie entire business
portion OF the city was wiped out OF
existence. Men who went to bed Sun
day night worth q million awoke the
next morning paupers. The fruits OF
'wenty-four years of industry and econ,

IN a night fraught with grief and ter
ror. Men raved and women .wept,
while children chung, terror-stricken,

destruction and d~esolation was as com.

Richly dressed and apparently refined
ladies, with jeweled hands lifted the
wine glass again and again to their
lips. Homes Of int ligence and refine

leered in the lace of the v%irtuOus.
Incendiarism also cropped out. For
plumber, tirebugs set houses on fire
that they might pillage them without
being discovered. On sd street a boy
saturated a clothes-line with coal oil
and threw it into a building. He was
killed by the firemen. AT the corner
of State and 32d streets a negro saw a
white mar firing IL building and
promptly shot him down. Two men
were killed for setting fire to the
Jesuit Church on the West Side. On
Fourth avenue a nan was found with
hay and matches in the basement of a
house. He was beaten and stoned to
death b. a crowd, and On the same
street a man was shot dead for firing a

900 buildings had been reduced to

children had been deprived of their
homes. Every bank in the city had
been burned. Soho Is, churches, bust

Other cities came quickly to the relief
of Chicago. First came Indianapolis.
At 3 O clock Tuesday two carloads of
cooked provisions and two fire engines
fully manned arrived from the HOosier

Louisville. Seven carloads OF cooked

the wretchod fire apparatus began to go
to pieces and before day dawned eight
engines and We other machines
were rendered useless. Attempts +
made to stop the progress of the flames
by blowing up intervening buildings
with powder. but the strong wind
drove the fire over every gap which
could be made and rendered the work
useless.
The fire soon reached the business
part of tho city and banks, no els,
shops, theaters, the postoffice, the
Court House and the ~sub-treasury all

thought it wa the last dying flame of

the lamp and the tlares Immediately
enveloped the shed. shooting their red
tongues high up into the night air.
The man on the Court House, finally
becoming aware Of the truth, gave the
alarm, but much delay interviewed be-
fore the fire companies answered it.

The flames were utterly beyond con-
troll in a short time. The mass of
wooden buildings in the vicinity b!a ed

along the margin Of tho river furnished
rich food for the flames. A strong
westerly wind began to blow. and this
drove the flames across The south
branch and into the south division
with incredible fury. Just at this time

dreamed. The river was supposed to
be an imrassable barrier, Tut the ter

Iut the most interesting part of tins
vond rful cave il 10 Toe found in a
chamber leading off Immediately from
the entrance on the right.haI Sit
This chamber is tall enough, wide
enough and the water is deep enough to
accommodate boat carrying eight per-
sons. Men with torchlights have been
sent from one to two hundred feet into
this chamber without finding the end.
Returning they reported that the
chamber continued about the same
size, the roof sometimes approaching
nearer the water, and that other cham
bers were found to branch off on either
side
Although the direction is Mauka and
the cave opens at the foot of the hills,
the water is said to retain the same
depth and to be of the same quality.
During the past few days the "old
native" has been sought out and, of
course, knows all about this newly dis
covered subterranean cavern. The "old
native" says that this MAuka chamber
runs along for several hundred feet and
then divides into three caverns, two of
which soon end while the third extends
away up Nuuanu valley and there
comes to the surface.
The ''old native" also tells of many
bones which are hidden in the dai k
vaults of this cave-the bones of his
great forefathers.
In carrying out part of this idea the
natives in the employ of Mr.. Ena have
placed over the entrance the words:
"Ka Hale Keawe," which they inter-
pref to mean, 1.-The House of the
Ancient Chief"
One point OF interest in the existence
OF this enormous cave is the vast
amount of fresh water it contains.
There seems to be no end to it.
More clear, cool water can be seen with
the eye from the two entrances than is
possible to put INTO all of the reservoirs
now being operated by the Government.
The strength of its source and whether
or not the present supply would con-
tinue after being drawn away are
questions wholly unanswerable at the
present time.
Mr.. Ena contends that the water
comes from a spring or springs, and
such may be the case; if so, the dis
covery may be more valuable than can
now be ascertained.
In the course of two weeks large
Loaf will be put upon the lake, and
with it, the many chambers Of the cave
thoroughly explored.
