MISTAKEN IDENTITY.


Not Clerk but Mechanic who Passed
Away Suddenly.
1t was Ramon Baesa, a maker
of brides, who died and was buried
August S, instead of the salesman
in Warehouses; store. with this
slight correction and a few other
changes, perhaps, the account of
yesterday was practically correct. "
Following is the report made by
DR.. Emerson to Marshal Brown:
Honolulu, Aug. 8, 1895.
A. M. Brown, Marshal.
DEAR SIR:-On Monday, Aug
ust 5th last, in company with
policeman Hammer, l viewed the
body of a Spaniard named Ramon
Baesa at Kamakela, Tor Kauluwela,
] am not sure which, mauka of the
St. Louis College. The man was
quite dead though rigor morris had
not set in. Said TO be aged 90
years. Born in Mexico The
cause of his death was apparently
from natural causes without any
suspicion OF foul play, being ex-
planned as due to heart disease,
caused by asthma, from which he
had suffered for years. There
seemed to be no reason for ali
autopsy.
Very truly, yours,
N. B. EMERSON, M. d.

Pacific Mail and the New Line are
In Competition.
There is quite a competition be-
tween the two steamship companies
of which L. H. Davies & Co. and
II. Hackfeld & Co., are agents
with regard to the price Of passage
from here to Yokohama. The
IS. Asloun now due from
Portland is ell route to Yoko-
hama and the S. s. City Of Picking
will be due OH Saturday ell route
for the same port. Crowds of laps
who intend returning to Japan
have visited both agencies to
ascertain what steamer would be
the cheaper. This morning, 7.
H. Davies & Co., charged SIS pas
sage for each passenger. H. Hack
field & Co., on hearing this lowered
the price 81. T. H. Davies & Co.
charged the Japs $r3 each this
afternoon, and the other company
will probably make it lower still.

"a REIGN VESSELS EXPECTED


Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
Of their bodies, and therefore their
method is by biting. They will bite one
another and hold ON with wonderful
grip of the jaws, even after all their legs
have been bitten of by other ants.
Sometimes six or eight ants will be
clinging with death hold to one an
other, making apeculiar spectacle, some
with leg gone and some with half the
body gone. One singular fact is that the
grip Of an ants jaw is retained even
after the body has been bitten of and
nothing but the head remains. -Ex-
change.

the treasury Of the Hawaiian
Board, which was worse than emp
ty at the close of the year, has not
long been left in such a deplorab e
condition. One of the Boards old
friends and helpers has come once
more to its assistance with a gener-

nj the expiration al such term, or 81
such further eighteen months, and nj
any time thereafter, while default con
tinues 10 terminate and cancel the cnn

"The general plan for carrying out

aud 10 organize company In Honolulu
TO control aud manage the lnter.lslahj

"rLe United States Government will

eminent. II will be time enough to
look to other Governments for aid when
he United States shall have refused
or failed to take the matter up. and this
Government shall consent with such
9th n Government.
ut is perhaps unnecessary to say that
no political or extraneous questions
enter into the project. The amount of
money required for the construction
and laying Of the different cables, with
necessary connections and land lines,
cable repair ships, together with a suf-
fluent working capital to insure efficient
service and provide for the maintenance
of the lines, is estimated at over
four millions of dollars. As
business proposition it is quite
plain that the work should be done and
the money be raised in the cheapest
markets. But, am prepared to accept
offers from any part of the world based
upon conditions of equality. The main
point in view is to establish cable COM
munication between Hawaii and the
outer world upon favorable terms Nth
the least possible delay
The proposals made by Col. Spalding
are clear as words can make them and
IL is doubtful If he can "dicker" with
the government.
