HE|ND|AN|A' 5 Close GALL
AUGER HOLE FOUND IN THE BIG
SHIPS BOTTOM
Dastardly Crime of Disgruntled Sail
ors.-The Leak Was Discovered in
the Nick of Time. ...-...

Captain Lyle returned from Hilo
this morning with the startling news
that the leak in the big ship Indiana
proved to be an aguer hole, bored by
some miscreant with the evident pur-
pose of scuttling the ship. Fortunate
ly Captain Colly discovered the leak in
time, and had stopped it temporarily
before the appearance of Captain
Lyle on the scene, otherwise, the
chances are that the big ship would
have been on the bottom before the
shipbuilder could have reached Hilo.
Three of the crew suspected of having
done the job, deserted after the dis
covery was made. One has since been
captured, just before the Kinau left,
but his fellows are at large.
The big ship had 500 tons of sugar
in her hold when it was discovered
that she was leaking. The water
gained rapidly, although all of the
ships pumps were kept working day
and night. 1t became necessary to se-
cure steam pump from the shore, at
cost of $500 per day, and even then
the hold could not be pumped dry.
On search being made, a. clean-cut
auger hole through the bottom of his

was just forward of the sugar, within
few feet of it. A piece of the plank
ing had been torn up and the hole
bored between the ribs, where the
thickness was only about four inches.
With considerable difficulty Captain
Colly succeeded in plugging up the
hole securely. Captain Lyle, when he
| arrived, finished off the job nicely.

JAPANESE WARSHIP BRINGS THE
COUNCILLOR.
Aciyama Tells of His Mission to the
1slands.-Japanese Press More Ag-
gressive Than Government.

The much-talked-of Japanese cruis-
er Naniwa dropped anchor in the har-
Dor shortly after 10 o'clock this morn
ing, amid the booming of guns from
the battery and from the warships AL
ready in the harbor. Her own guns
answered, and there was dipping of
colors up and down the line.
A representative of The Star was re-
ceived aboard with great courtesy by
Capt. S. Kuro-oka, the commander,
who presented him to Mr.. NJ. Akiya-
ma, the special agent of the Depart
ment of Foreign Affairs at Tokyo, who
has been sent here to inquire into inn
migration matters. Both gentlemen
talked very freely of their mission to
Hawaii, giving expression to the most
friendly feelings for the Republic and
for the United States, and regret that
there has been a misunderstanding.
"My mission here" said Mr.. Akiya-
ma, IS entirely of friendly nature.
The people of Japan have become very
much wrought up over what they be-
lieve to be a high-handed and unjust
action on the part of your Govern
ment in refusing to land emigrauts
who had every right to land here.
The press has become very much in
famed, and advises stern measures,
but I assure you, the press does not
in any way reflect the sentiment of
the Government. We are peacable
nation, and all that we ask is justice.
I have been sent here by my Govern
ment to ascertain the true facts in
this matter. If the immigrants had no
right to land, we shall have nothing
more to say. If we find that they were
illegally refused landing, and that the
treaty was violated, we feel sure that
we can get justice from the Hawaiian
Government. This talk of war is all
nonsense Our mission is one of peace
and not of war"
He speaks English very well, and
shows a surpassing knowledge of Ha-
waiian affairs for one who has been
abroad for so long.
Captain Kuro-oka, commander OF
the Naniwa, is on his first visit to Ho-
nolulu. His career as naval officer
was noted in yesterdays issue of The
Star. He has twenty-nine officers on
his staff in the Naniwa and 370 men in
hiscrew.
Five newspaper correspondents ac-
company the Naniwa.
c. Sato, president of the Tokyo I'm
migration Company, and I. Segawa
manager of the Mouoka Immigration
Company, are also on board. They
deny the report that they have
brought back any of the rejected inn
migrants.

PRETTY HOMES NEAR PUNAHOU
QUITE SAFE.
Lawyers Change Their Views Sf.cr
Carefully Reading the Decision Rem
dered in Court Yesterday.

The clouded titles to the many pret-
ty homes in Punahou, built on lard
which was Originally owned by Hon.
John Ii, has been cleared up in the de-
cision rendered yesterday by Inc Su-
preme Court and exclusively published
in The Star.
The impression at first existed
among certain lawyers that the t'''c
to this land was affected, but today it
is learned that such is not the case.
The people who purchased parts Of the
Ii property and erected their pretty
homes, are extending congratulations
to each other upon the final outcome
the important suit, which involved The
title to their properties.
The question which has just been
unanimously decided by the Supreme
Court was whether Mrs. Irene Ii
Brown and her children had life in
terest only or whether the land of
which Punahou is part and inherit
ed from her father, John Ii, belonged
to her and her children in fee simple.
The Court has taken the latter stand
in the matter.
In consequence, the immense Ii lanl
estates will come into possession Of
Mrs. Brown. She may do what she
chooses with \ the land now. Before
this opinion was rendered, purchasers
of the Ii property were only certain
that they had an interest in the p OPP
erty during the life of Mrs. Brown.
and at her death they were uncertain
as to whether they would be COM
PEELED to deed the property back to
Mrs. Browns children.
The Punahou land was sold by Chief
Justice A. +. Judd, who is trustee of
the land inherited by Mrs. Brown, to
his brother. Charles F. Judd, and King
Kalakaua for $1,000. AT the death OF
the King, his widow, Kapiolani, sold
the land to satisfy his debts. 1t was
purchased by ex-Queen Liliuokalani
who afterwards sold it to Bruce War
ing & Co. for $4,000. This sale took
place two years ago, and the land has
now been taken up by many people
who have erected handsome residences
on the land.
