DEATH OF MISS MOORE.

The news of Miss Lula Moore's
death, received yesterday, was not
unexpected, as she had been struck
with that dread disease consumption,
and her father, John \. Moore, had
been summoned from the Summer
School to be with her at the end.
Miss Lula Moore was one of the
brightest and most brilliant young
ladies in Honolulu less than a de-
cade ago. She was highly educated,
and for time acted as principal of
the Royal School. She was also prin-
cipal of the Punahou Preparatory
School during the absence of Mr..
Macintosh in England. Later
she went to Europe and resided at
many of the capitals. To those who
knew her she will ever remain a
memory of beauty of feature and
brilliance of mind.
To her father and her sister, Mrs.
Heapy, their friends in Honolulu and
throughout the islands extend their
most heartfelt sympathy.

NOTED JAPANESE VESSEL NOW
IN PORT.
Been Cruising on the Coast-A Noted
Cruiser-Full List of Officers and
Armament.

The Japanese training ship Hiyei,
22 days from San Francisco, arrived
this morning after four months
cruise along the Pacific coast. She
sailed all the way, enjoying fair
weather and taking it leisurely until
yesterday, when, the wind failing,
Captain Uyemura ordered the fires
started and steamed into port, an
chorng alongside the Naniwa. The
Admiral's flag on the Philadelphia
was saluted with thirteen guns as
the Hiyei sailed up the harbor, and
the salute was answered from the
American cruiser.
DR.. T. Maxi, the recorder of the
vessel. received Star man aboard
with great courtesy this morning and
gave him an outline of the voyage of
the Hiyei, which was undertaken for
the special instruction of eighteen
cadets aboard. The Hiyei left home
on April 18th, calling first at Esqui-
malt harbor, Victoria, where she re-
mained two weeks. Several days were
spent at Seattle and then the train
ing ship proceeded to Sah Francisco,
where she remained three weeks.
The cadets and crew of the Hiyei
were of great service while in San
Francisco at the fire which consumed
the new Oceanic dock, and almost de-
stroyed the ship Commodore.
The Hiyei is IA bark-rigged wooden
cruiser of 22S4 tons and 1855 horse
power. She was built in England in
is79 after a design by Edward Reed
and has speed of 12 knots.
The armament of the Hiyei consists
of seventeen centimeters, six krupp
| fifteen centimeters six Krupp and
| four Nordenfeldt machine guns.
| The Hiyei is one of the Japanese

more than her share in 'he conflict

VIDA MAKES \ HAUL.
Captures a Lot of Opium from ;
Coal Scow.

Henry Vida, who recently resigned
an inspectorship in the Custom House
to accept a position in the MarshaFs
office, captured ~ tins of Hongkong
opium in the engine room of one of
Hackfeld & Co.'S coal scows this
morning. While he was gathering ii
up. with the assistance of one of the
sleuths from the office, the engineer,
a bright Chinese, made good his es-
cape and has not yet been captured.
For some time past the Chinese has
been suspected of handling opium,
but the customs people could never
catch him. He would show the otii-
GERS through the scow with the great
est poiteness every time they called
on him. Last night Vida undertook
To effect the Chinaman's capture and
with an embryo detective from the
office, spent the night along the
docks. This morning they descended
upon the scow unexpectedly, and
caught the Chinese mapping. He pre-
tended to assist the officers, but when
he saw them lay their hands on the
opium, he was up the gangway and
off like n shot.
Superintendent Gitlillon says that
the engineer was the best man he had
on the docks. lie had repeatedly
warned him not to take hand in the
opium business.

HILO LAWYERS BEFORE THE
SUPREME COURT.
Attorney General Smith Charges
Wakefield and Wise With Gross
Misconduct.

Francis w. Wakefield and William
S. Wise, the well known Hilo attor-
neys, were before the Supreme Court
this morning to answer charges pre-
ferred against them by the Attorney
General of the republic.
They were charged with gross mis-
conduct in defending a client in one
suit and prosecuting him in another.
Attorney General Smith was in court
to represent the Government in the
matter. Paul Neumann and General
A. S. Hartwell appeared for the Hilo
attorneys.
Only Justices Frear and Whiting
were on the bench. After hearing
the preliminaries of the case Justice
Frear announced that it was the wish
OF the Supreme Court that the case
be held over until the arrival of the
Chief Justice on the Moana. AS it
was believed that the Moana would
be sure to arrive in port today the
case was continued until tomorrow.
The allegations as set forth by the
Attorney General in his information
are as follows:
That Wakefield and Wise appeared
before the District Court of South
Hilo as attorneys for Sumner c. Mace,
who was charged with the offense of
malicious injury in attempting to dis
able the ship Indiana, then lying in
anchor at Hilo. Mace was discharged
and was about to leave the country
upon the request of the United States
Consular Agent Charles FurneauX
but was arrested upon a warrant
taken out by Wakefield and Wise as
attorneys for A. b. Loebenstein, who
claimed that Mace was indebted tc
him upon a promissory note for $537
! Now the Attorney General contends
that Wakefield and Wise are guilty
of gross misconduct in acting fol
Loebenstein, and causing the arrest
of their client was improper and un
becoming of practitioners at the bar
1t is also contended that Mace was
quitting the country at the instanc,
of the consular agent and it was 10
proper for the attorneys to take tn,
action they did when they well knew
that Mace was being taken away
| against his will

\ TRACT IN PUMA BRINGS A HIGH
FIGURE.
Government Opens Up Other Lands
Suitable for Coffee Cultivation-Big
Tract in Hamakua and Honokaa.

That there is big demand for
coffee lands was clearly proven by
the rush for some Government tracts
in Puma which were thrown open
this week.
The land office received advices from
Sub-agent f. ID. Baldwin in the mail
brought by the Kinau, that three
tracts had been sold at public auction
during the present week. G. f.
Thrum purchased a tract in Kamail,
containing a little more than 90 acres
for $2350. The appraised value of the
land had been set at S. 80 an acre.
This is undoubtedly one of the best
pieces of uncultivated land that has
been found in Kona. Mr.. Thrum
who surveyed the land. recognized
this. There were three or four part
les in Honolulu who had dubbed to-
gether to purchase the tract, but they
gave Representative Rycroft limit
in his bidding for the land in their
behalf. They now insist that had
they known that other parties were
after the land they would willingly
have offered $4,000 for it.
f. w. Thrum purchased a tract con-
sisting of 81 acres for $1O25.
A. V. Callaghan bought 90 acres for
S492.25. Both tracts were in Kam-
Iaili.
The Land Department is quite ac-
! tive now. Commissioner Brown has
inaugurated enough work on Hawaii
alone to keep his men busy.
Thirty-five lots of land will be OPEN
ed up between Ninole and Maulua
from the sea coast up to 1900 feet ele-
agriculture and are plentifully sup
piled with water. They are nearly all
applied for.
Out in North Kohala the Govern
ment responds to numerous demands
from white settlers for land on bot't
sides of the new road to Waimea all
will at once proceed upon subdvis-
ion. The cane lands will be leased

will be cut up into small tracts to sup
ply the numerous applications from
that district.
In Hamalua and Honokaa districts
"a tract g, 1000 acres has been select
ed OF the finest agricultural land on
the island. which also will be cui up
and placed at the disposal of settlers.
The availability of road to Waimea
from this tract will also be reported
upon. Instructions have also been is
sued to run the line delimiting the
forest reservation, along which a
fence will be erected to keep out all
stock, so that the forests may be pre-
served This will be first started in
Kahua, Kohala. This is good work,
as the great water storage in these
timber belts must be preserved. This
necessity has been demonstrated dur
ing this present summer.

ADMIRAL MILLER.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Rear Ad-
miral j. n. Miller will sail for Homo
lulu by the mail steamer leaving San
Francisco on August 18th, and upon
arrival at the Hawaiian port will
formally assume command of the
Pacific squadron.
The battleship Oregon arrived to-
day at San Francisco and prepara-
tions will be made for a cruise to the
Hawaiian Islands. The Oregon has
no flag quarters and the Philadelphia
will consequently have to be retained
as the flagship of the station until
the Baltimore's repairs are COM
pleted.
There is a possibility of trouble
with either Spain or Japan over Cuba
or Hawaii.

A GOOD THING.
The Government is Pushing Road
Work On Hawaii.

The road fund of the South Hilo
district is exhausted and the Govern
ment gangs have moved out beyond
North Hilo, beyond Nauna gulch,
where they are engaged on roads in
that district.
The new road around Laupahoehoe
gulch has been completed. The road
is an excellent specimen of engineer
ing work and is probably the best on
Hawaii. One side of Kaawalii gulch
is graded for the new road. When
this cut has been completed work will
start on Maulua gulch, which is con-
sidered about the worst one on the
route between Hilo and Hamakua.

before Circuit Judge Perry today.
Alex G.. NJ. Robertson, representing
the Government, filed an amended
demurrer against the tax payers
