HAWA|'S EXTRA SESSION,
Dole'S Reason for ReaSSem-
bling the Legislature Yet
Mystery.
An Application for Writ OF Habeas
Corpus in the Case OF
Prince.

HONOLULU, HAWAII, May 20. - The
coming meeting of the Legislature is alb
sorbing public consideration just at pres
ent to the exclusion of nearly everything
else. The election to fill the vacancy in
the lower House caused by the death of
Charles Carter resulted in the return of the
Government candidate. So little interest
was taken IN it that no opposition what
ever was made to A. G. M. Robertson,
Deputy Attorney General and one of the
Judge Advocates before the recent Mill
tary Commission. The general apathy
may be estimated from the fact that only
Ill votes were cast out of total of five or
six hundred.
The Legislature is called to meet on June
II, and some of its members from the other
islands are already in the city. What the
Government programme consists of is I'M
known, except that it includes the passage
of President Dole's new land bill, on which
he has been working for months past. The
main provisions are the allotment OF Gov
eminent lands to small settlers in forty
acre tracts, provisions by which settlers
now on leasehold terms may obtain deeds
to their lands upon certain conditions, and
the prohibition of the sale of lands in large
tracts to foreign corporations.
The sensation of the hour is the filing at
noon to-day in the Supreme Court of an
application for writ of habeas corpus on
behalf of one of the ex-Princes, Jonah
Kalauianaole, commonly known as Prince
Cupid, who was one of the political pris-
oners sentenced by the Military Commits
sion to serve sentence of five years. i'm
prisonment and paw a fine of S50OO The
writ was granted, returnable before spe-
cial term of the court on Thursday next.
The grounds of the application are the IL
legality and unconstitutionality OF the late
Military Commission. The decision is
looked forward to with interest, as it af-
fecrs every political prisoner. There are
many who think the application should
have been made in behalf of Liliuokalani
while others think Paul Neumann knows
what he is doing.

ST, CLAIR TO Be HANGED,
The Murderer of Mate Maurice
Fitzgerald Must Pay the
Penalty.
Garry Out the Law Next Friday
at Noon.

The execution of Thomas st. Clair, con-
victed of the murder of Mate NJ. Fitzgerald
OF the American bark Hesper, will take
place next Friday in San Quentin unless
the President extends executive elemency.
The chances are all against any such action
being taken. The prisoner will be trans
ferred from the Santa Clara County Jail
to-day, and the execution will be as private
as the law requires.
The Hesper sailed from Sydney, N. S. W.,
nearly two years ago. She had on beard a
cargo of coal for Honolulu, and all went
well until the vessel was two weeks out.
Then there were mutterings among the
crew, and finally, according to the testi-
mony given during the trial, d conspiracy
was formed to murder the captain and
mate, seize the vessel and run away with
the captains wife and the money known
10 be in the cabin.
1t was beautiful night in the tropics
when the tragedy took place. Chief
Officer Maurice Fitzgerald was on watch
ana captain Sodegren was below asleep.
Herman Sparf, Hans Hansen, Thomas St.
Clair and Thomas Green formed part of
the starboard watch, and when the mate
walked aft to see why sail was not draw
ing they fell on HIM in body. He was
knocked down with club and then
hacked to pieces with an ak. From the
testimony-and Thomas Green was States
evldence-it appears that ST. Clair struck
the first blow and assisted in cutting the
officer to pieces and in throwing the re-
mains overheard.
Captain Sodegrens wife was awakened
by the groans of the dying mate, and she
aroused her husband. When an attempt
was made little later on to get the cap
tain on deck he refused to go. and threat
ened to shoot the first man who attempted
to enter the cabin. Next day the mutt
neers gave in and were ironed. The Hes
per was run into Tahiti, and the men
were turned over to the French authorities.
they were sent to San Francisco on the
barkentlne Tropic Bird, and later on were
tired In the United States Circuit Court.
st. Clair, Sparf and Hansen were found
guilty ana sentenced to death. Their cases
were carried to the Supreme Court, and
while the verdict in the case of st. Clair
was affirmed Sparf and Hansen were
granted new trial
hansen case came up few days ago.
and owing to the clever manner in which
his case was handled by Attorney James
smith he escaped. Sparf will also prob
aply get OIL, but ST. Clair, the ringleader,

TROUBLE IN THE ARMY.
The Order That Militiamen
Must Serve Causes
Dissatisfaction.
RIOTS CERTAIN TO ENsUE.
Volunteers Will Take Up Arms
Against Campos if the Mandate
Is Enforced.

NEW YORK, n. Y, May 27.-A special
to the Herald from Key West says:
The most important news received by
steamer last night shows the dissatisfaction
manifested by the inhabitants of tie island
over the order of the Captain-General
demanding military service from them in
the field to suppress the insurrection. 1t
is expected that before the end of the week
open conflict will occur between the volun-
teers and the authorities.
General Campos' order, as published in
the official organ, the Diario de Marina,
requires that all men drafted in Spain be-
tween the years 1892 and 1894 and who are
now enrolled in the militia throughout
Cuba shall present themselves within eight
days in order to be assigned to regular
regiments for service in the interior.
Those refusing to appear are to be tried by
court-martial as deserters and shot. The
colonel of each regiment of volunteers
will be held personally responsible for
every man in his command
The volunteers, who have always con-
sidered themselves a favored class, now
openly refuse to obey the orders. Some
insist that being enrolled in the militia
exempts them from compulsory service in
the regular army. Others adopt the SUBJ
terfuge that they will only serve in their
own regiments and under their present
officers, and will resist any attempt to de-
prive them of their rights.
When it is considered that many OF
those included in General Campos' order
have attained the rank of captain OF
militia since their arrival in Cuba, and
also that substitutes will not be accepted
as heretofore, their protest appears to be
well grounded. Naturally these officers
will have TO serve as privates.
1t is declared that if the order is not re-
voked or modified general mutiny will
take place. and as the volunteers hold the
key to the situation a revival of the scenes
that took place in the '70's will be re-
enacted. Dodgers have been circulated
among the volunteers to assemble in uni
form. 1t is expected that in the excited
state of the Havana citizens a riot will

admitted that the Sheriff is powerless to
render any assistance in the uprising of

Edwards states that he is an old resident
of Colorado and heavy taxpayer, and

PANAMA, May 27.-Four new steamers.
which have heretofore not been in the
coast trade, have contracted with
the Panama Railroad Company to
regularly run between this port and
California ports with regular stops at
Mexican and Central American ports.
These steamers will be run independently
OF the railroad, but it is an open secret
that merchants have signed an agreement
to patronize the new steamers sufficiently
to guarantee expenses.
Steamers will also be put on the Atlantic
side connecting with New York, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore and West Indian ports.
1t is stated that the new steamers will sail
under the British flag.

The accompanying illustrations show
four positions which the moon will take
with respect to the earth's shadow These
are exactly an hour apart The first shows
the moon after 1t has passed entirely into
the partial shadow and with the eastern
edge just entering the total shadow. An
hour later the moon will be entirely COW
cred by the black shadow of the earth and
perhaps absolutely invisible. but whether
1t will be invisible or can be family dis.
cerned will depend somewhat on the con-
dition of the earth's atmosphere. Tie
last position shown, which is three hours
after the first, is when the moon has
emerged partly from the total shadow,
but is still yelled in the partial one.
These successive phenomena are to be
seen. provided there are no clouds, at ex-
actly the same instant of time from all
parts Of the United States. However,
owing to the differences in local and

essea Lives Are Lost.
CIxcISNArI, March y-Tho steamer

wrecked. The following lost their hAes:
David Aldrich, Rome, N. Y, passenger:
J. l. Carter, Newport. KY, clerk; Angus
tus Chauvet, New Orleans, barkeeper;
James Miller, Cincinnati, colore porter;
unknown woman.
Unfortunately the complete list Of the
lost may never b. known. All the records
Of the steamer were lost with It and no
passenger list is ever left ashore. Late in
the afternoon in q portion Of the wreck,
which had been landed some distance be-
low the city, the body Of young woman
was found. She was wearing a satin
night dress and black skirt was about
her feet, as II she had been in the net Of
dressing.
The accident was one Of peculiar horror,
It was daylight, the fog had disappeared.
the great steamer, fearful Of peril Of pass.
ing the bridge piers, had been given the
assistance of the powerful towboat Her.
cules Carroll When almost upon tho
pier the powerful cross currents, which
no human foresight could have located,
caught the long steamer like q toy and
turned the bow away from the course.
At the same time the smoke from the
lowered chimney. which had been let
down to allow the boat to pass under the
bridges, was wholly obscuring the pilots
vision.
The Hercules Carol pilot being located
almost behind the great steamer was
also unable to see the boats position and
more likely it was not strong enough to
turn its course against the treacherous
current. And SO the fated Longfellow
was carried like a helpless thing against
the iinmovable pier and crushed into q
wreck. So quick was the work Of the de.
struction that in five minutes not a ves-
tige Of the great steamer was visible ex.
cept bits Of wreckage floating on the river
The Carroll, however, was close behind,
and ran alongside, taking on board the
large majority Of those on the Longfellow,
and thereby averting terrible loss of life.
Some Of the crew had time also to lower
boat, and in this q number Of lives were
saved
