NEW VOLCANIC OUIBURST
KILAUEA'S CRATER JETS FORTH
IN FIERY FOUNTAINS.
Capt. Lee Telephones to Mahuknoa
Explosions Felt for Thirty Miles.

After lying dormant for year or
more Kilauea has broken out again.
Mr.. Peter Lee telephoned to Purser
Beckley of the Kinau at a. m. of
Friday, June 25, in the following
terms:
"Brolle out last night at 1880 with
terrific explosions, which were felt
thirty miles away, and almost imme-
diately after fire was seen by people
living along the Kau Coast. Several
fountains are in operation and the
lake continues to rise rapidly and is
now about five hundred feet deep and
increasing in activity"
This is good news, indeed. Even
when there is little or no fire Kilauea
is one of the sights of the world, but
once it bursts forth in its fire fount-
aims and it is the sight if lifetime
for any one to see. "A large number
of people have been under the impress
sion that the volcano had shut up shop
lOG SOOu, DuI jlle STedu WOHutI VI
Hawaii and of the world has been
merely lying dormant a while to gain
renewed strength.
Hawaiians regard the outburst as
particularly appropriate. They say
that the fiery powers are intimately
allied to Hawaiian history and that
both the quiesence and the outburst
duly mark historical events.
"This outbreak" said an old Ha-
waiian to Star writer, 'portends
some great change in the Hawaiian
islands,"
Without giving much heed to this
side of the question, it is certainly
satisfactory to know that our great
natural wonder has commenced busi-
ness at the old stand and that tourists
message speaks of the fire fountains
These are among the most picturesque
features of the volcanic display in
Kilauea. They rise i'm flashing col
umns of living fire and fall in fiery
spray that when it reaches the sur
face splashes up yet more brilliant
fiery foam. AS the lake rises there
will be the boom of the flaming waves
crashing against the molten rocks and
the scene will indeed rival the utmost
imagination of Dante.
That the eruption is a great one is
shown by the fact that the force OF
the explosions has been felt over
thirty miles off. 1t must have been
an immense force that sent the boom
ing message such a distance. The
earthquake which accompanied the
event was felt at Honomu, where the
walls were shaken down and damage
done to the landing. News of further
damage will doubtless reach us from
other parts of the island.
The Wilder Company's steamer
steamer Kinau leaves on Tuesday
morning for Hilo and the Mikahal;
will be especially put on by the, Int
Island Steamship Company to carr,
passengers on the Mauna Loa's route
touching at Lahaina, Maalaea ant
Kona, and thence to Punahu.
Both vessels will carry large mum
ber of passengers. AT the Inter Isl
and offices it was learned that th
Mikahala has been thoroughly clean
ed and her machinery is in eXcellen
shape. She will accommodate abou
thirty to forty passengers. 1t ha
been decided that the boat will leav
for Honolulu on Friday afternoon
giving the people ample time to se
the volcano.

BRILLIANT BALL GIVEN BY THE
BRITISH COMMISSIONER.
Elegant and Tasteful Decorations
Great Social Success-Pretty Dresses
and Bright Music.

The festivities in honor of the Dia-
mond Jubilee were brought to con-
clusion by the ball given last night
by Her Britannia Majesty's Commits
sioner and Consul General at his resi-
dence at Palama.
Though the weather threatened to
be unfavorable, the rain kept off well
enough, and from half-past eight a
stream of carriages kept rolling into
the grounds and continued to do so
for hours. The grounds were gay with
electric lights and every arrangement
had been made for the quick ingress
and egress of carriages. AS the guests
arrived they were received at the
steps and the ladies at once passed to
the dressing rooms.
On entering the first room one was
struck with the beauty of an immense
floral crown which occupied the CEN
ter table This was the work of Mrs.
de Fries and assistants and was as
fine floral emblem as has ever been
constructed here. The ball room was
tastefully decorated with light green
cry and white, which set off the many
pretty costumes of the whirling
dancers.
Minister Hawes, assited by Mrs. T.
| r. Walker, wife of the British Vice
Consul, Miss Guy and Mrs. Robinson
of Makaweli Kauai, received the
guests on the veranda, which had been
extended and fitted up as a reception
room. The decorations here were
charming, the palms and graceful
ponds of ferns throwing shadows and
| rejecting lights which gave pleas
ant half-light through which the fig
ures of the moving crowd fitted in
ever-changing variety.
The supper rooms were most con,
veniently and elegantly arranged and
their number seemed never-ending
The floor was covered with small tab
les. and when, shortly after midnight
supper was served, countless merry
parties made the air gay with laugh
ter and the popping of cor>s.
The affair was thorough success
and one of the most enjoyable that
has been given in Honolulu. Minister
Hawes spared no pains to make his
guests happy and was untiring in hi!
efforts to make the evening thoro
ughly enjoyable one to all who were
present, and a memorable one from
the occasion for which the ball wa:
given.

CHANGES IN POSTAL RATES.
Notifications to be Made Under Post
al Union Rules.

Notifications to be Made Under Post
al Union Rules.
Several notifications have been
agreed upon by the Universal Postal
Congress of the existing convention
which was signed at Vienna in 1891.
The taxes on territorial and maritime
transit are to be gradually lessened
every two years, and considerable
simplification in reference to these
expenses will be introduced. Interna-
tional postal cards are to pay double
rates, so that the fee will be reduced
from 10 cents to 4 cents. Samples of
merchandise are to be allowed in eX-
changes with countries of the Postal
Union up to $50 grams in place of $50
grams as heretofore. The reduction
on the rates for carrying mails across
intermediary countries will be Is per
cent, and that on the carriage of fore
ign mails by water will be 12 per cent.
1t appears that the movement for a
reduction of rates was led by the
United States and the Central and
South American countries, and that
Belgium and Holland led the move
ment against change. The changes
will 60 into effect on January /, 1899.

At the meeting of the Board of Man
ayers of the Free Kindergartens, held
yesterday morning, the resignation of
Miss Buckley was received with sim
cere regret. Her successor has not

Mrs. Brine, from the Chinese Kin

made up by NJ. Seong, the youngest
Chinese girl in the school. 1t provides
a change of work for each half hour in
the day. 1t was so remarkable and
thorough for a child her age that it
was decided to use it on the school
work.
A great deal of interest was mani
tested by the lady managers in the
reports of work in the various schools.

CROWDS GATHER.
The Picture Hats Attract Atten-
ton.

Yesterdays crowd at the Easter
opening at Sachs was but a repetition
Of that on Thursday The character of
the hats shown is such that the ladies
cannot resist the temptation TO exam
inc them. even if they do not buy. But
handling without buying in this in
stance is an exception.
Care has been taken in trimming the
hats at this establishment so that no
two shall be alike. One is just as fetch
ing as another, the only similarity be-
ing in the shapes. Better taste was
never shown by local milliner, and
seldom, if ever, was such material
placed on headwear; quality is not
sacrificed to price, and not one of the
pieces is over-trimmed.
This is the last day of the opening,
and it is expected that the crowd of
visitors will be even larger than on
either of the previous days.
