ALARM AT HONOLULU,
Radical Measures to Stamp Out IL,
ScOurSe.

Radical Measures to Stamp Out the
ScOurEe.
The Hawaiian mail was landed at San
Francisco from the steamer Rio JaEeiro
yesterday.
HONOLULU. September 3.-There have
been fifty-nine cases of cholera up to date,
with forty-six deaths, since the scourge
broke out Two white people were attacke d
yesterday and have since died. C. L. Dodge,
business manager of the Hawaiian Star,
and formerly of San Diego, Cal, was one of
the victims. Mr.. Carroll, nurse, was the
other.
The city is in a state of alarm and bust
ness will be suspended for one week, while
house-to-house inspection will be made.
Radical measures will be adopted to stamp
out the disease. In nearly every case, the
cause of death has been traced to poison
Gus fish.
The steamship Rio Janeiro was prohibited
from landing her Japan freight, and will
take it on to San Francisco.
The Bennington and Olympia have gone
to La Hama. or one of the neighboring is
lands. as the captains of the vessels are
afraid to remain in port. Residents of the
island positively refuse to allow passengers
or freight from Honolulu to be landed.

ARMOR AND PRoJECTILE TESTS,
That at Indian Head Yesterday Unset
Some Previous TheOrfes

fhat at Indian Head Yesterday Upset
Some Previous Theories.
The test of the structure representing the
side armor of the battle ship Iowa. in con-
junction with test of the penetrating
powers OF 13-inch gun, which took place
at the Indian Head proving grounds yes
terday, proved most satisfactory to the
oHcers of the ordnance department. The
plate was the same used in the tess two
weeks ago, when it withstood the shots
from the Pinch gun, save for having been
cracked down the middle The plate was
fourteen inches thick and of Harveyized
nickel steel. 1t was fastened to a struct ure
representing the sides of the battle ship.
In yesterdays test Misunderstanding
armor-piercing shell, weighing LOO pounds,
was fired from a 13-inch rifle with $50
pounds of powder, distance of $50 feet,
with a velocity of 1,sOO feet per second. 1t
struck the plate upon that portion not in
1ured by the previous shots, cracked it into
three pieces, penetrated the plate and bulk
neads supporting It, and disappeared in The
sand. There is no doubt among the naval
officers that the shot would have pen
etrated any armor made, and in a ship
equipped with plate like that tested the
conclusion is that the shot would have
penetrated the ship and knocked the plate
off on the opposite side.
The construction officers of the navy
were especially pleased account of the
showing made by the structure designed to
represent a portion of the Iowa. 1t has
long been claimed that If shot should
pierce an armor plate the structural por-
ton of the ship to which the plate is bolted
would be damaged for twelve or fifteen feet
along the ships side. The shot yesterday
upset this theory, as it damaged the
structure only locally. The fact that the
whole frame held together showed that the
plates of this frame, which is the same as
are being put in the new battle ships, and
weighs twenty pounds to the square foot,
are all that is necessary.
There was some discussion as to whether
ship could be saved from sinking after
being pierced by such a shot, the impress
sion being that If a ship did not sink she
would be surely disabled.

A Suspected Fflibustcr.

A dispatch from Key West sent last
night says: The revenue cutter Winona
brought In today the schooner Lark, picked
up Off Pine Koy, with thirty-five Cubans
on board. When picked up by the cutter
only two men were on deck, but a search
revealed others concealed below. The yes
sci was seized and brought in because
Capt. Juan Reyes could not give satisfac-
tory explanation as to what he was doing
with so many men on board and without
any papers and because it was thought she
by the United States commissioner and re-
leased on bond until the hearing of the
case next Thursday. While it is believed
the men are filibusters 1t will be difficult
TO prove this as they had no arms or am
munition on board.

to surrender his principles, when asked by
Senator Brice's friends If he would hold
his free silver views in the background, II
he should be elected to this place.
Last year when Allen w. Thurman as
chairman of the state committee made the
committee a free silver propaganda there
was much indignation among members of
the party. The action was tolerated at the
time for the reason that no one believed
that there was the shadow of chance for
the party to carry the state, and SO there
was little ventured But now the case is
different. No free silver literature will be
circulated this year through the state COM
mittee.
Col. w. A. Taylor, who was Allen w.
Thurman's ablest colleague in the free sill
yer movement prior to the state convention
mas been placed in charge of the press
bureau OF the state committee, and some of
the more radical of the single gold standard
men are watching his work with a little
suspicion.

has been severe. amid great opposition, and
protests from disconnected celestials. One
prosperous corner storckeeper, a mile and
half from the center, was found to have
behind his nice-looking front a quarter
acre with sheds lodging $50 japanese
around a fearful pool in the center. And he
had no lodging house license, SO was run in.
We are certainly in a great trouble. The
board of health and public officers are
greatly overtasked. The business of the
city is largely arrested. Revenue falls off.
Government expenses are increased. We
cannot tell how much farther the evil will
General quiet prevails. The most active
and cordial support is given by all whites
to the authorities Should any number Of
whites be attacked there would doubtless
spread among Chinese and japanese. So
long as the disease is confined to the Ha-
waiians, there is less fear for the rest.
The opening of the schools for the fall
term Is postponed. Last Sunday all the
churches were ordered closed by a quite
unanimous vote of the body of doctors act
ing with the board of health. Our rather
cranky Anglican bishops temper went to
pieces over this, and on Monday he de-
nounced the boards president, Attorney
General Smith, for worse than papal in
terdict on all worship So some farce
mingles with the tragedy. Poor w. o.
Smith is sick with overwork. He is next
door neighbor to the bishop. He has re-
Piled In dignified manner, stating strong
reasons for the action taken.
Up to late hour yesterday no new cases
or deaths had occurred that day. There
were eight cases and six deaths the pre-
vious day. making thirty-four cases and
twenty-nine deaths in ALL not counting
the Chinese in quarantine. The cholera
has continued strictly to maintain the race
line In this city. One might easily become
superstitious over such a fact. 1 do not
know If there is precedent for 1t. 1t cor
responds to the race line less perfectly
drawn by leprosy, which has attacked over
a,Ooo native Hawaiians, and less than 100
of all other races in these islands. II
affords much food for thought. How far
is race SO incapable of saving their own
lives otherwise capacitated for service or
responsibility? KAMEHAMEHA.

TWO NEW BATTLE SHIPS,
Proposals for Their Continuation
Asked for Today.


Asked for Today.
The Navy Department today called for
proposals for constructing the two new
battle ships provided for by the last Con-
gress. The advertisements present one
important feature different from those
heretofore issued. in that ship builders
are invited to submit two sets of bids, one
for ships with armor and accessories and
one without the armor. The statement is
made that the department adopts this
procedure because 1t has not yet reached
conclusion on this most important point.
Heretofore the government has contracted
for all armor separately, but a question
has been raised as to the economy and
expediency of making a single contract
for the ship and armor. 1t is estimated
that the armor for these two ships will
cost about three and a half million dol
lars. and as the limit of cost for both
ships Is eight millions the armor item
becomes of the first Importance. The
bids are to be opened November 30 next.
Three years are allowed for the delivery
of the ships, which will be about 10000
tons displacement and sixteen knots speed.
No premiums will bespaid.

CATTLE STEALING SYNDICATE.
Evidence of the Existence of Grim
inal ORGANIZATION.

Capt. Joe W. Taylor, county attorney
Of McLennan county, Texas, has laid be-
fore the grand jury the constitution, by
laws, list Of officers. and secretary and
treasurer's report of an association of negro
members organized for the purpose OF
stealing cattle and horses.
While the rolls do not show any names
of white men, there are evidences in pos
session Of the county attorney that the
cattle-stealing syndicate was to some ex-
tent under the control Of whites.
The thieves had monthly meetings at a
rendezvous, and have at least once declared
dividends. This Is shown by the report of
the treasurer. Their operations have been
extensive, and the losses. though scattered
over a wide territory, are large. 1t is prob
able that In some cases they shipped
