CHINESE JUNTA.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. ga morning
paper prints the following: Accord
ing to versatile Wong Chin Foo Chi
cago is to become headquarters for
the Chinese revolutionary junta. This
body plans the overthrow of the Man
chu dynasty now regnant in the Flow
cry Kingdom by an armed invasion
from convenient South Sea Island.
Rooms for the Junta have been en-
gagged at 329 South Clark street, and
the Mongolians who dwell in that
7icinity await the coming of Sung Yat
Sen to set the machinery in operation,
which is to open China to Western civ
ilization.
Sung Vat Sen is the Celestial revo-
lutionist who recently was kidnapped
in the streets of London and whose re-
lease was affected by Lord Salisbury.
He now is collecting money and or
ganiZing his followers in England. He
will sail for America within two or
three weeks, where he will confer with
Wong Chin Foo of Chicago and other
leaders of the Chinese reform party
in this country.
Wong Chin Foo at present is hard
at work on magazine articles on Con
fusianism and in the preparation of
Confucian missionary lectures to be
delivered in Illinois and adjoining
States. But he is not neglecting his
duties as attorney for the revolution
lists.
The revolutionary societies in this
country and England number, it is
said, thousands of Cinnamon who have
amassed wealth, which is to be used
when the time ripens for the over
throw of the hated Manchu dynasty

American army to fight for Cuban in
dependence. will start for the East in
a few days, stopping at Chicago,
Cleveland and New York. From the
latter place he will sail for Cuba in
an individual capacity to look over the
ground. In the course of an extended
interview he said:
"The organization is progressing;
companies have been formed and en-
listed in many of the States and Terri
tories, and there is no question abodt
obtaining from 10000 to 10000 able
bodied volunteers. And let me tell
you that when once an armed legion
of from 10000 to 10000 American vol
unteers lands in Cuba with the neces-
sary subsistence for thirty days pub
lie sentiment will be created that will
place $4,000 re-enforcements in con-
dition to follow in few weeks"

a much larger attendance at this term
than at the beginning of either the

there is but very slight increase this

Honolulu district the schools are still
overcrowded, Notwithstanding that

Reciprocity Wanted.

BOSTON, Dec. 29.-The Sabbath
Protective League claims that Eugene
Tompkins, proprietor of the Boston
Theater, Col. Mapleson, late impress
sario If the Imperial opera company,
and all who attended as well as who
took part in the grand concert in Bos-
ton theater last Sunday evening for
the benefit of Col. Mapleson, are law
breakers.
The law provides that if IA concert
on Sunday where an admission fee is
charged is not sacred, or if the enter
tainment is not given by charitable
or religious society, then not only are
the promoters guilty of breach of
the law, but those who attend are also
guilty, and liable to a fine not exceed
ing $5.
Among those who attended Sunday
night was ex-Queen Liliuokalani, who
occupied box, and under the law she
would be equally guilty with the per-
formers in case it was found that the
concert was not sacred. The pro-
gramme was submitted to the court
but there the matter rests for the
present.

Annexation CLUB NEWS
PREPARING FOR THE MEETING
TOMORROW NIGHT.
Encouraging Reports Coming In from
the Other 1slands--Club Wanted at
Lahaina-Lists Sent Out.

The first regular monthly meeting
of the Annexation Club since the re-
organization will be held tomorrow
evening at the drill shed. There
promises to be a large attendance and
a most enthusiastic meeting is antic-
ipated.
Brief talks will be made by several
prominent Honolulu speakers. The
committee having the program in
charge has extended an invitation to
couple of staunch annexationists to
address the meeting, and if they con-
sent, some good annexation news may
be expected.
The officers of the club will have n
report to make of what they have been
doing during the past month.
The club will also have up before it
for discussion, the matter of an ex-
ecutive officer. The duties attached
to this position are quite important,
inasmuch as this official is in charge
of the headquarters of the club and
is responsible for numerous matters
which are quite essential for the well
fare of the Club. Mr.. c. A. Brown is
filling this position at present, 1t will
be a salaried office.
AS each week passes by annexation
looks brighter and brighter. Interest
in the movement is not confined to
Honolulu and Oahu alone but it IS
spreading throughout the group. From
Kauai and Hawaii most encouraging
reports have been received during the
trict on Maui, those in harmony with
the annexation movement are urging
the formation of club. At Wailuku
John w. Kalua has issued call for q
meeting of the annexation club for
th.s week.
The membership rolls were sent out
to the various districts in the grouT
from headquarters last week. Quite
number of men have signified theil
intention of signing as soon as the
lists are opened.
In Honolulu and surrounding dis
trict the new converts to the cause
are numerous as a glance at the lists
will testify. The names of Hawaiians
are conspicuous. One prominent ma
tive leader said today: "There will bt
many more of my countrymen in the
ranks when they acquire a full mean
ing of the word Annexation
At o'clock this afternoon it was
learned that Minister Cooper would
address the meeting. II. F. Glade viii
probably speak also.

DISASTER AT ST. MICHAEL.


BOSTON, Dec. 29.-The Portuguese
consulate in this city has received a
petition from the Island of ST.
Michael, in the Azores, signed by a
representative of the Portuguese Gov
ernment and nineteen other of the
principal citizens, asking aid for the
sufferers by the bursting of a giant
waterspout on November 2 over the
city of Povoacao. The petition states
that there is much suffering for food,
clothing and shelter, and gives some
particulars of the calamity, than
which it states none has been more
devastating in the history of the
island.
Tons of wafer poured down upon
the city, which was of about 5000 in
habitants, mounting above the roofs
of the houses, ripping up the streets
and carrying destruction everywhere
in its path. The torrent rushed down
the slopes to the sea, tearing a wide
channel through nine miles of country
and carrying with it the homes of
thousands Of people.
The flood also destroyed the town of
Riberia Quente, of 5000 population
and several outlying parishes. All
along the coast the fishermen lost
their boats, and the shore was Uttered
with corpses of those who perished
in the floods
