Late News by Waialeale-The Homo
lulu Party Returns TO Hilo-Anxious
to Get Back-Steam Coming from

The steamer Waialale arrived late
Sunday afternoon with the very latest
news from the volcano, TO the effect that
steam which has been distinctly visi-
BILE for many days over the crater of Mo-
kuaweoweo had diminished and a cor
responding increase of steam was visi-
BILE over Kilauea, which corresponds
with the predictions made by some Of
the old kamaainas here who have stud
led the action of the two volcanoes for
many years past.
A telephone message was received at
Hamakua from some of the Honolulu
party now at Hilo. They wanted the
Waiaieale to go to that place for them,
as they were very anxious to get home.
They had been to the top of Mauna Loa
and seen the raging fires Of Mokuaweo-
weo. A similar description to that al
ready published in this paper as hav-
ing come from the two men who made
the ascent from the Kona side was sent
through the telephone to the captain of
the Waialeale. No flow or any increase
in activity was reported.

A FIRE BOAT.
Commissioners Say That Providence
Should Have One.

IL is possible that the fire commission
ers will make an effort to have n fire boat
added TO the service, for i'm their opinion
the depot fire of Friday morning demon
strated the fact that the present pressure
of water is not what IS needed. at least
for the center Of the city. Had there been
more water pressure much smaller num-
bor of pieces OF apparatus would nave done
the work, and the rest Of the city would
not have been left unprotected. There
were no serious results, said one of the
commissioners, from the depot fire, but
this is due TO circumstances and hard
work, for had there been high wind the
city would have been at the mercy Of the
flames. What we want, said he. is n
stream OF water that will "knock the
bricks sideways right on the start.
A fire boat Will cost from SEQ, coo to $40,
90 and will cost something like Sli, 600 a
year to run il. or the same as IL does to
run an ordinary engine company. The
boat should be fitted with a line OF hose
1000 feet long and capahl le oi throwing at
least a fouf-inch strepm. linen in case
OF a fire i'm the center OF the city or on
either side Of the liver the Loaf could be
used with telling effect.
Should the fire Re beyond the reach of
the boat, the stream from 10 could be at
tached to n steamer or two, and still be
very effaatira--A.ast Of tha- eitlzens are Of
the opinion that n IRE boat should be
used to protect the shipping interests
alone. but the commissioners say that
the time NAV come when the fact will be
demonstrated that tire boat il needed,
and that 60 be head OF the times is much
more profit be than to be behind them.
