ARRIVES IN HlLO ONE MONTH
FROM THE COAST, ,.r
Expected in Honolulu Next Week.
List of the Ofiicers-Future Route
of the Warship.

The L. 5. S. Adams arrived in Hlo
on Monday, May 10, having left Mag
dalena Bay April .. She came under
sail all the way. She was expected to
stay for week and then come on to
Honolulu, so she will probably put i''
an appearance here Tuesday or Wed.
nasdaN of next week During the
time the ADAMS is in Hilo the officers
have taken the opportunity of visiting
the volcano.
The Adams is n training ship for
boys and has eighty-seven apprentices
on board between the ages of fourteen
and seventeen years. She has auXili-
airy steam and sail power and is well
fitted for the training of boy, who do
all the duties of furling, reefiing and
bending sails, and sending down
yards. The boys are also drilled in
great guns, small arms, day and night
signals, and, in fact, in the various
duties that go to make a bright, alert
man-of-warSman The Adams left
San Francisco on an itinerary that was
to include San Diego, Magdalena Bay,
Lower California, Hilo and Honolulu,
in the Hawaiian islands; thence to the
Sound ports, Seattle and Tacoma, and
perhaps Portland, returning to San
Francisco about August 1. The in
tention is to keep the Adams at sea
from fifteen to twenty days between
each port. About August the appren-
tices on her will be examined and
those worthy of advancement will
probably be sent to the various ships
of the Pacific squadron, and their
places taken by third-class appren-
tices now being shipped on the Inde-
pendence, and who will be given equal
advantages for the following six
months.

Today's game of baseball will be

victory, and the Regiment lads say
that they will play the game of their

been placed on the result of the
match.
Albert Cunha of the Stars will be
unable to be in his old position this
afternoon, on account of bruised
foot. Capt. Harry Wilder will catch.
Who will supply third base is uncer-

to secure Tom Pryce, who won honors
in last seasons games. 4. Babbitt
may be asked to fill up the gap, in
case Pryce cannot play. Lionel Hart
will pitch and Sam Mahuka will hold
down first base.

MURDER AT THE
LEPER SETTLEMENT.
a Sightless Leper Slashes His Truant
Wife With ket-Knife.- She
May Not Live.

The steamer Mokolii brought word
this morning of an attempted murder
at the leper settlement at Molokai
that surpasses in horrible detail al
most anything in the annals of CRIME
on the Islands. A blind leper slashcd
his wife with a pocket-knife until his
murderous hand was struck down by
a stout club, welded by neighbor,
who was attracted by the womaa's
cries for help. The woman is severely
cutSabout the abdomen and chest, and
it is feared that she cannot live.
Marshal Brown received brief
note, concerning the affair, from Dep
uty Hitchcock, who arrived on me ISL
and just prior to the sailing of the
Nokolii, but no names were men
toned, and no details given. For some
unaccountable reason the captain of
the police there failed to make any
report, so that nothing of definite
nature can be learned from the Mar
shal's office. Purser Beckley learned
the full particulars of the affair, but
did not secure the names of the peo-
pie concerned.
From the scant information at hand
it appears that the blind leper had
been deserted by his wife, who is also
a leper. He complained bitterly to
the neighbors OF MS loss, and one of
them hunted up the woman and re-
turned her to her husband, leaving
them alone together. The blind man
took hold of his wife's arm, and asked
her is she would return and live with
him. She said that she would not, as
she had found some one who suited
her better.
At that, the story goes, the man
drew a pocket-knife, already open,
from his pocket, and, retaining his
hold on the woman's arm, commenced
to slash her, cutting the flesh on her
arm almost into ribbons, and making
several frightful cuts across her breast
and abdomen. A neighbor heard the
woman's cries for help, and came to
the rescue. The husband was so in
furiated that he paid no attention to
the rescuer, and it was not until his
murderous arm had been beaten down
with a stout club that he stopped.
Even then he made a futile effort to
stab the reScuer
The injured woman was taken to
the surgeon to have her wounds
dressed. and the man locked up, to
await the outcome of her injuries.
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock is on the
ground, and will fully investigate the
matter.

\ SWELL BANQUET.
The japanese Residents Did Them
selves Proud Last Evening.

The banquet given at the Hawaiian
Hotel last evening, complimentary to
Captain Kurooka and officers of the
Naniwa, was grand affair. There
were forty-seven people gathered
about the banquet board on the open
lanai of the hotel. Japanese Minister
Resident Shimamura was the toast
master.
The most distinguishing feature of
the celebration was the decorations.
Mr.. Osalli had this duty to perform,
and he spared neither pains or eN-
pense in his successful endeavor to
completely outdo any similar decorat.
ing.
The main band stand, in which the
Government Band serenaded the mer-
ry banqueters, had been covered with
flags. At either of the hotel entrances
were the japanese and man-of-war
flags, the latter denoting "The Land of
the Rising Sun" The trees were dot
ted with electric lights, while the en-
tire lawn was covered with Japanese
lanterns. In front of the hotel was
stationed an arc light with 1000 can
dle-power. Flags and lanterns ex.
tended along the entire front of thl
hotel.
