The display is all hand work and is one
of the finest in the city. 1t reflects great
credit upon the designer and has been a
feature CT the Fiesta.
Just as one of the wagons containing
fireworks reached Poaskis cafe last
night, the rockets caught fire and then
commenced miscellaneous series of ex-
plosions. Green fire and red got tangled
up together. The wagon itself got ablaze
and the drivers became frightened and
jumped down. At that point the crowd
was very dense and it looked for a mo-
ment as though the terrified horses would
hurt or kill somebody There was panic
for moment every body rushing to get
out of danger. Fortunately there was
somebody near the horses who had few
grains OF sense as we'll as little courage
He grabbed the bride of one of the horses
and stopped the team. The wagon was
dragged off into Second street, a blazing
ruin.
The chairmen of the different Fiesta
committees and the Merchants Associa
ton and the advisory board are requested
to meet at headquarters at a. m. to head
the Children s day parade.

Julian ID. Hayne has left for
Hawaii. When he read the
many pleasant remarks of the
critics of the Hawaiian, and
more especially Surveyor
Lyons article on lands, he saw
that it was necessary to per-
sonally visit the other island,
and see if there is any land not
yet annexed by the mission.
The editor of the HaWaiian
has been advised by a "mis-
sionary" to devote his time to
the volcano and the lands
between unaluu and Volcano,
E[e intends to spend a week
there and will bring specimens
and samples Of the soil from
that district. An examination
of the soil will probably show
the reason why this land hasn't
been gobbled up. Mr.. Hayn'

must now either verify his as
sertion or be stamped as al

In treating the matter of the
occupation of Corinto by the
British forces, the N. Y. Trib- /
une of April 28th becomes
virtuously indignant, and roars
as follows: i" England has no
right in law and morals to oc-
cupy foreign territory, to exer-
else sovereignty, and to seize
revenues in payment of an in
demnity levied ex parte on the
stand and deliver principle.
Because England does this
thing, and resident Cleveland
tolerates and sanctions it, these
caviling censors may be recon
ciled to it temporarily as one
of the necessary details of i'm
perial policy, but what a rub q
dub of abuse there would be if
the American navy were en-
ployed in that way" Does the
Tribune forget that in January,
1898, the United States Min
lister, John l.. Stevens, of un-
happy memory, sent to these
shores by resident Harrison
with a message of peace and
goodwill to Queen Liliuokalani
and her people, conspired with
the present junta in power here
for the overthrow of the Ha-
waiian monarchy, and the hand
ing over of these islands to
President Harrison? and that
to compass such Infamous pur-
pose the American forces or
the u. S. S. Boston were land
ed on our shores to intimidate
the Queen and her people, un-
til the iunta obtained control by
pretense of referring the
Queens protest to- the author

Tribune writer not know tina
the junta now holds these isl
ands under the spacious CLAIM
that they are trustees of tn
American people, holding thei
plunder until President Cleve
land is retired, and a less honor
able successor is elected, wh'
will accept these islands withou

is still being used here, whiting
ly or not, to intimidate friendl,

Co., and from the Sun Insurance
Company $500, respectively the
amounts of insurance on the Wal

In their libel the insurance
companies claim that Dudoit at
the time of the stranding proceed
ed with his vessel to Keawanui, q
bar harbor and open roadstead
and at divers times to other ban

claim that on A. gnst 16, 1898, in
the day time and in good weather
while Dudoit was on board and
in command, said steamer was
J stranded by running on the rec
, or shore, and very soon deserted
and left to her fate. They further
claim ION information and belief
that the stranding of the steamer
was not caused by a peril Of thu

stranding was the deliberate an(
|, wilful act of said Dudoit, acting
