the least reflection on the chairmen or
members of the different committees, the
Merchants Association wisely concluded
that they were responsible for tho proper
stewardship OF the moneys collected, and
that by accepting this obligation they
would at the same time relieve the differ
ent committees of very great burden.
Under the present system requisition
is made in writing for contract or GER
tain articles by the chairman of COM
mittee. AS soon as the contract is made
or the articles are furnished it is entered
in a bound volume and signed by the Di-
rector General and the chairman of the
committee approves OF the quantities and
prices charged for them.
A voucher corresponding in number
with that OF the contract is then signed
by the treasurer of the Merchants Asso-
citation and warrant is then drawn in ia
vor of the creditor and signed by the pres
ident and secretary of that organization.
In this manner a perfect record is kept
OF all the financial transactions connected
with the Fiesta, and money, after having
been deposited in the bank, is not again
handled until it is drawn by the proper
person. 1t has been said that too much
red tape is attached to the workings OF La
Fiesta, but the Merchants Association is
composed OF business men. who DO busi-

they are obliged to be even more careful

Have you planned your costume for

question that is now frequently heard.
The time is drawing near, and it takes
time to work out original designs. There
is no doubt that many persons of both
sexes who have not heretofore taken part
in this event will do so this year, and
that there will be some very beautiful and
striking costumes.
There will be an object to work for in
this affair, as the amusement committee
has decided to offer prizes which will be

adopted is to give three prizes for the
best sustained male characters and a like
number for female characters. While the

method test of the popularity of those
whose names are advanced by their friends
Us desirable ladies to be Queen of La Fiesta

Just expression of their choice.
The casting of these ballots will be
watched as conscientiously and closely by
The Herald as if the occasion were a
question of public affairs, and it will be
surrounded by every safeguard possible.
To limit one vote to one person offers
sufficient opportunity for fair and just
popular expression on the subject.
The Herald is interested in the success
OF no particular candidate, and for that
reason places the vote at the disposal of
all who desire an opportunity to indicate
to the Fiesta management as to the lady
who in their opinion is best qualified to
represent the gentler sex in La Fiesta.
1t must be understood that no coupons
will be counted unless they are signed by
bona tide persons. The vote signed in the

will be thrown out.
Several ballots have been received from

A remarkable freak in moon phases
was noted in the month of February,
1866, a month which has gone into
astronomical annals as "the month with

and March each had two full moons, but
February none. A writer in leading

language in describing it; "Do you

How Conductor Sousa was taken to
task by General Schofleld for his lack Of
discipline is told by the San Francisco
Chronicle.
The last echo Of one Of Sousa's over
lures was just dying away over the sand
hills south Of the fair grounds when
General Schofeld stepped in front Of
the band and saluted the distinguished
leader Sousa returned the salute and
sent one of his men to escort the general
up into the band stand.
'Thut music was beautiful-beauti-
full, exclaimed the general as ne shook
Sousa's hand warmly ~ am nstonish-
ed, sir, that you get such results with
so little discipline. "
There is nothing that Sousa prides
himself more on than being one of the
strictest of disciplinarians, aud he was
naturally nettled at the generals criti-
cism.

don't see it, for as soon AS you turn

The fun in this, at the expense Of the
general, lies, Of course, in the fact that
when section of Sousa's men became
silent as he turned to the other was
when the music so required But the
general looked upon this lapse as he
would upon the suspension of section
of his artillery when he turned his at
tention to another part of the field.

pretty well satisfied at headquart-
ers that Wilcox AID about thirty
men were iii the vieinity of Tanta-
lus. Things begai to move with
rush at once. Companies A and
B, and those of ID who had return
ed from the front were formed at

again. Wagonei,es and hacks
were called, and at 1890 only
company G was left in the barracks.

Wilcox is in that neighborhood at
all he and his men will be shot to
pieces or captured.
There is now considerable doubt
about the location of Nowlein and
his gang. Reports Wednesday
were that he was working back in
the direction of Diamond head.
This may be correct, but some
think that it is more probable that
he has joined Wilcox. The two of
them know that their necks are in

Citizens Guard reported again at
the Police station at 2 o'clock this
afternoon. They were brought in
from Manoa telephone station in
wagonettes and hacks. These men
have had very rough time of
it. They were practically bare
footed, and their clothing was
torn a great deal. Many Of them
had bloody faces and hands from the

afternoon, they worked rapidly across
the mountains from Palolo to Ma

Considerable interest was man
Tested this morning when the look
out telephoned to Police Headquar-
tiers that rlan-ofw was fifteen
miles off to the East. 1t being too
far away to catch the name, every
one had his own pet theory as to
what country the big ship belonged.
In due course of time it was learned
that the name of the stranger was
The Esmeralda. The harbor was
reached and anchor dropped at noon.
A representative of THE STAR
boarded the vessel and gathered the
following from Capt. Garin.
That the Esmerelda was a war
ship bought by the Italian Gov
eminent from Ecuador, and they
were Ie days out from Galapagos,
bound Tor San Francisco, and were
on their trial trip. They called in
to the port of Honolulu for coal,
and would proceed in three or four
days OH their voyage to the coast.
The officers OF the ship are Cap
tain Garin; second in command,
Vargas; first officer, Valderrama,
The crew consists of 40 men and
she carries 8 guns.
The Esmeralda is the steamer
that accompanied the Itata during
the late CHILEAN revolution, to San
Diego to procure provisions and
arms; The Esmeralda stopping
outside the three mile limit and the
Itata coming into the Bay of San
Diego, in command of Captain
Tjeda and a number Of Esmerslda
marines. The Itata secured provis-
ions but was stopped by the United
States Marshal, who placed depu.
/ ty on board. Commander Tjeda
weighed anchor OH the Itata, forced
the pilot to take the vessel out to
sea where they secured arms
and ammunition from the schooner
Robert and Minnie. After
transferring part of the Prov.
sions and his marines to the Esner
aida, rjeda ordered Captain Man
zen to hasten to lquique at full
speed. The Government at Wash
ington telegraphed the Charleston
at San Francisco to give chase ant
if possible bring the Itata back. Ii
