j. 5. Libornio, the leader of the
Royal Hawaiian Band did not return
to HoRolulu with the rest of the mu-
sicians of that organization, though
every effort has been made to keep
the matter secret. Libornio wanted
to go, but though this is a free coun-
try the saXophone soloist is detained
here against his will. BY the aid of
a policeman and pistol an angry
father of pretty black-eyed senorita
compelled Libornio to enter the mat

and children in the Paradise of the
Pacific.
The baton wielder was born over
forty years ago in Manila, PHILIPPINE
islands, and had quite career there
and in Spain as a band master. He
left Spain i'm 1882 and soon after
reached the Hawaiian islands, where
he found things to his taste and set
tied down. He met and married Il
native woman. by whom he is now
the father of three or four children.
This wife has heard of her recreant
spouse's marriage in this city and is
preparing to make things very vol
canic for him. She does not know,
however that Libornio's heart really
prefers her to the Spanish maid.
When the Royal Hawaiian Band first
passed through this city on its way

ish gentleman. who began to believe
that Libornio was the worlds great

Il fine match for his budding daughter.
The girl was about to leave Il convent,
where she was completing her educa-
tion, and the father wanted her to get
married before she learned too much
of the worlds wickedness.
He never stopped TO think that Ii
bornio might be already married, but
introduced him to his daughter, os-
tensibly as friend, but wishing in
his heart that love would spring up
in theirs. His plan succeeded we'll

OPIUM CASE.
The Trial of \. l.. Morris in the Dis
trict Court of Honolulu.

The case of \. l.. Morris. charged
with importing opium, was resumed in
the Distruct Court this morning be-
fore Judge De a Vergne. The prose-
cution rested it's case at noon. Mo-
tion for a dismissal was denied. The
defense began this afternoon and hope
to have the evidence all in by 3
O'Clock.
y number of customs officers were
examined this morning. They told of
the seizure of the opium in the eight
cracker boxes. 5. Lowden, the senior
member of the Washington Feed com
pany, who made out an entry to the
goods and who was arrested with Nor
ris, but subsequently released on mo-
tion of the prosecution, was placed on
the stand as a witness against Morris.
There was nothing in his testimony
that would incriminate Morris. He
stated that Morris was employed by
him in the Washington Feed company
and that he looked after the ordering
of goods. Morris had ordered the CON
signment that arrived by the Mt Le-
banon. He had never noticed anv-
thing wrong in Morris dealings. He
had always been an exemplary young
man.

happenings for the people there.
The entire world will be startled and
a young and beautiful girl may be-

tread the pages of history.
Situated in the heart of Brooklyn

"Kaiulani," continued the doctor. sis
not fond of Hawaii as it now is. She
was brought up to think of it as her
future kingdom and she expected to
ascend the throne upon her majority.
Her aunt, Liluokalani, was unpopular,

as Great Britain belongs to Queen Vic

demon of Hawaii, sits in the noun

as her mother did.

She will lie down in a tent, where the
