CHARLES HAMMER DEAD.
Falls Upon Ground aud Expires in
Few Moments.

Falls Upon Ground aud Expires in
Few Moments.
Charles Hammer, the old harness
maker died from heart disease at his
home in Kapalama, between and G
o'clock last evening. He was a native
of Norway, aged 90 years.
Deceased was in town during the
morning, and went home at about 100
o'clock, apparently in no worse state
of health than he had been for several
years.
He remained about the house, and
had his dinner between 4 and o'clock.
This done he went out on the back
veranda, picked up the Evening Bull
letin and began to read.
Shortly afterwards he complained to
his wife that he felt cold, whereupon
she told him that he had better come
into the house. Acting upon this adj
vice, he arose and started to walk in
to the back room. AS he did this, his
legs seemed to give way under him,
and he fell over Getting upon his
knees, he crawled into the room, and
then fell over The neighbOrs rushed
in, and, assisted by the wife, got the
dying man on a lounge, where he ex-
pired before medical assistance could
arrive.
Charles Hammer was born in Chris
tiana, Norway, and came to this coun-
try in 1879, setting up harness store
on the corner of King and Fort streets,
which he remained head of until about
a year and a half ago, when he sold out
on account of his i'll health and retired
to private life. During his many years
of business he was always known as
an honest man, and one who ever eXer-
cised the most painstaking care in the
work taken to him by his many GUS
toners.
The deceased leaves a wife, whom he
married two years before coming to
this country and five children by his
first wife.
The funeral will take place from
the Masonic Temple at 3 p. m. today,
from which place his faithful brothers
will bury him. All friends are invited
to attend.
H. H. Williams has charge of the
arrangements for the funeral.

but / believe he should have an ex-
tension over the time given him; he
has learned something by his expert
ence, and / believe he will do better
after election. l think he was offered
81 for the bonds, but had to refuse, be-
cause it was less than the price fixed
by the Government, or he would have
TO lose his commission. 1t seems to me
it is not right to give the option over
10 some one else because he failed in
his first attempt. Massachusetts has
had a similar experience to Hawaii in
negotiating her bonds, and if 1 mis-
take not, the money was raised in
England at lower price than was
originally fixed by the State. Col.
Spalding may have no difficulty in
the next Congress, though he may have
to fight the Atlantic Cable Companies
TO get his bill through"
F. A. Schaefer was not in his Of
fee, but julius Hoting, a member of
the firm, said he opposed the extension
mainly because he wanted TO see the
cable go through, and if the Govern
ment carried out system of granting
franchises and extending them indefi-
nitely, there was a probability of our
waiting a long time before reading
the first cable message. 81 am Ger
man." he said, but it makes no diff
ference to us who builds the line. Ha-
waits relations with the United States
are such that the line should be built
with American capital, but we will use
it, no matter what kind of money goes
into the scheme"

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
William Keou2h, Late of Hawai-
ian Band Cannot be Found.

William KeouSh, Late of Hawai-
ian Band Cannot be Found.
The friends of Billy Keough, form
eIly of the Hawaiian Band, and the
first leader of the Y. NJ. C. A. Orches-
ira, and for a time in the employ of
NJ. Phillips & Co., has not been seen
since the departure of the Alameda
yesterday, and his friends fear he was
either lost in the shuttle on the wharf,
or made a mistake and was carried
away on the steamer.
Keough was seen standing on the
wharf talking to some of the band
boys, when a passenger on the steamer
beckoned to him to come up to the
deck. Some of the people who knew
him. say they saw him come down the
gang-plank and disappear in the
crowd, while others say they did not
see him after the band played Com
pany D Minstrels."
1t is the consensus of opinion among
the young mans friends that if he was
unconsciously carried away by the
strains of music, which the trumpets
in the band pealed forth, he will be
very much distressed on account of the
number of unreceipted bills which he
took with him and which his friends
have not had the pleasure of seeing
since they were presented. If William
will send check to cover, all will be
forgotten, and the severe shock he has
given his friends will be overlooked
in their gladness.

THE OTHER SIDE.

The Insurgents Reported Gaining-spain
is Cruel.
NEW YORK, March 3l.-Among
the passengers on board the
teamer Yucatan which has just ar
rived here was Ebert Rappleye the
newspaper correspondent, who, az
ter three months stay in Cuba, was
banished from the island by a de-
cree of Capt. Gen. Weyler. Mr..
Rappleye in an interview said: 81
unhesitatingly state that within
three months the insurgent cause
in Cuba will be triumphant If the
United States government will
grant them beligerent rights and
give to the Cubans anything like a
fighting opportunity. The Span
iards are now on the defensive.
Every battle fought in Cuba in the
last three days has been invited by
the rebels.
"The Cubans now practically
hold the island OF Cuba. The army
of Spain has been entirely on the
defensive.
When Gen. Maceo started on his
western campaign one third Of his
men, 1900 in number, were I'M
armed. His forces have engaged in
battle with but three cartridges
each, depending entirely on
the capture OF the enemy's train
for the ammunition to continue
the fight. These men fight like
tigers and with the supplies OF
arms and ammunition brought by
Bermuda they are again marching
towards Havana. II the Cubans
had enough arms they could put
100000 men in the field.
"The Insurgent troops are well
Differed and as perfectly or
ganized as the Spaniards. The
Cubans have been from the house
tops and the Cubsns have captured
places not more than three miles
from the capital. More than this
the Cubans control the produce Of
the islands. Thousands are suffer-
ing for want Of food as they are in
the seaports, but they are heart
and soul with the Cubans and are
willing to suffer.
