Another Examination by Holmes.

Philadelphia. Aug. se.-A local paper
says Holmes admits that the remains
found in the house in Trvington. Ind. are
those of Howard Pitzel This he told his
counsel, Mr.. Shoemaker. during the lat
ter's long conference with him in prison.
Holmes says he did not murder the boy,
but that the crime was committed by an
other. In Holmes statements about this
phase of the case. the mysterious Hatch
comes to the surface again. Holmes be-
l!eves. so he says. that Howard Pitzel was
killed. and that Hatch murdered him as
he did the girls in Toronto. Holmes
claims that when the time comes, and he
Is anxious that 1t will come soon. he Will
be able to prove beyond doubt that at
the time the detectives say Howard was
killed he tHolmesl was in Detroit with his
wife. Holmes says he has always been
suspicious of Hatch. and has long sus-
pected him of doing away with the boy.

The Nonowai. Eastward Bound. Is
Hailed or the Port. and Does Not
stop at the stricken City.

San Francisco. Aug. Sa-The steamer
Nonowai. which arrived tonight from
Australian ports. DID not stop az Homo
luil, as usual When OF that port the
steamer was hailed by the American con-
sui in a small boat, who announced that
cholera had broken out in Honolulu. Al
ready there had been eight deaths from
that disease among the natives and Chr
nese.
As the cholera broke out after the steam
er Beigic left on her last trip. il IS pre-
surned that the disease was brought by
that vessel. The Monowai did not enter
Honolulu harbor. but steamed direct TO
San Francisco Her passengers for Ha-
wall were brought here.
The Belgic carried a large number Of
passengers in the steerage bat most Of
them were landed in Honolulu. II v,ls
among the Honolulu passengers that the.
sickness broke out. According TO the
story as shouted from a small boat 70 the
people on the Monowai three Chinese
steerage passengers bound for Hawaii died
at sea The doctor said that one died from
heart disease and the other two from
pneumonia. No mention Of the deaths at
sea was made by the steamship officers
when she arrived here. and il seems
strange that they should have neglected
20 mention the fact that there had been
sickness and death on board. The Belgic
brought TO San Francisco six white steer
age passengers. sixteen Japanese and for
ty-five Chinese. Eighteen other Chinese
were in transit and have already proceed
ed east 70 Mexico. The Beigic brought a
cargo OF tea and silk, which has already
been shipped East. There Is no danger that
cholera may be in the cargo. hut there Is
some alarm felt here as 10 the spread of
cholera by the passengers who were land
ed here. The sickness on board the Belgic
for Honolulu. but as the other Storage
passengers associated with them on the
voyage It is feared that they may spread
the disease
