THE LIBELS SENT AWAY.
SUGGESTION THAT THE MATTER
SHOULD RECEIVE ATTENTION.
Offenders Can BE HCachcd-No Great
Harm Indulge In Sedition aud
should BE Punished.

a gentleman i'll every way well
qualified to treat the subject fur
n,shes the subjoined article upon
the subject of lying correspondence
sent from Honolulu
The manufacturing Of malicious
and seditious libels to be circulated
abroad for the purpose Of injuring
this country and its Government is
something we can by no means
afford to regard and treat as joke.
On the contrary it is very serious
matter. The injury that can be
done us by even one expert and
altogether INSCRIPTIONS liar is
simply incalculable. Where these
ISLANDERS originate, by whom they
are manufactured, and how and by
whom they are put i'll circulation
are practical questions TO which it
is the duty of the public
authorities to find solutions ii
possible. We beg to differ entirely
with the opinion expressed in the
Ad1erhSer that these stories are
the inventions of sensational news
papers in California aud designed
merely to increase their circulation
and make money for their proprie
tors. On the contrary the evidence
both internal and external, renders
it morally certain that they origin
ate right here. and it is not un-
likely that a thorough and rigid
investigation might convert this
overwhelming probability into a
legal certainty. If sufficient evil
dence can be secured to make a
good case against the guilty parties
it would seem as if they were very
proper cases to be dealt with by
the Military Commission. The
stories in question are certainly
false, malicious, seditious and lib
elous. If a military tribunal can deal
with cases Of treason, misprision of
treason and conspiracy, all of
which are statutory offenses under
the civil law, there seems no good
reason why an offense Of this kind,
which is directly in the same line
and intended to aid in producing
the same general result cannot be
disposed OF in >the same way.
If it be claimed that person cam
not be punished here for a libel
published.in foreign country. The
answer is simple. Under our laws
the making of a libel is Of itself an
offense aside from its publication
and can be punished as such.

HURT BY AN EXPLOSION.
SERIOUS INJURY INFLICTED ON A
JAPANESE WORKMAN.
Treacherous Giant Powder Fuse-A
Bruised and Bleeding Form From
the Railway Front.

A japanese workman was seri-
ously injured at the Oahu railway
front OH Saturday afternoon. An
explosion of giant powder did the
damage. The victim of the acct
dent is at the home ola countryman
i'll town. His right hand is mangled,
his breast torn and his face cut and
burned and his eyes seriously hurt.
He may recover after many weeks,
or he may die in few hours. The
great pain calls for the use of mar
cotics and the man has been TN
conscious and unable to take any
food for many hours.
The Japanese was blasting rock
for a boss of his own nationality
near Waiauae. The fuse light
seemed to have gone out The
man waited minute, then ap-
preached cautiously. He could see
no spark. Just as he was bending
low for a close examination the
explosion occurred. The man was
thrown into the air and his howl of
terror was echoed by fellow work
men. The man and his friends de-
clined the services of the physician
at Waianae. The bleeding form
was placed in an improvised litter
that was marvel of discomfort,
taken to Honolulu and thence on
the train to town, arriving at noon
yesterday.
