The Wilson's Are United Again and
He Plays the Drum In Seattle

Honolulu to day was Mrs. w. w.
Dimond whose sudden departure
from the islands with Actor Wilson
was noted at length in the Bulletin
yesterday. Mrs. Dimond looked
troubled as she boarded the vessel,
but when the lines were cast off and
the ship steamed from the wharf she
appeared on the deck and babe
adieu to the city, She was alone,
and, seemingly, avoided contact
with her fellow passengers.
1t is a significant fact that Mrs.
Dimond did not personally secure
her passage Yesterday afternoon
she telephoned to the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company and requested
that stateroom De set aside for her
use. She was informed that room
would be kept for her until 10
o'clock to-day This morning she
telephoued again, saying she want
ed a stateroom. No attention was
paid to the matter until II o'clock,
when a tall gentleman appeared at
the Office Of the company at First
and Bfannan streets and demanded
a ticket to Honolulu for Mrs. w. w.
Dmond He paid for the ticket in
bright $50 gold pieces, and disap-
peared Shortly after noon car
riage appeared at the dock, and
from it sprang Mrs, Dimond, looking
as hale and hearty as ever. She was
not in a good humor, evidently, and
that is not to he wondered at, if it is
/ indeed untrue that she eloped from
Honolulu.
81 shall return to San Francisco"
said Mrs. Dimond to reporter, just
as she was boarding the steamer.
"My object in going back to Homo
lulu is to refute the scandalous
charges brought against me by my
husband. AS | have said, he is a
brute, who has treated me shame
fully. The story OF my alleged i'm
proper relations with Mr. Wilson
was started by him, but he shall be
made to prove it, or suffer the con-
sequences"
What was your purpose in COM
ing to San Francisco"
"To get evidence against my hus.
band, against whom | will file
counter charges. When this case
comes to trial the names of some
swell San Francisco women will
come to light as having alienated a
part OF Mr. Dimond's affections
from me. 1t is we'll known that
half Hawaiian woman at Honolulu
is infatuated with Mr.. Dimond."
"When will you return?"
Immediately after the divorce
proceedings" she replied. You
know | have signed contract to
sing for two years in this country"
Mrs. Dmond babe the reporter a
hasty farewell and boarded the YES
sci, disappearing at once in her
stateroom, from which she did not
issue until the steamer was under
full Roadway in the bay.
Mr.. Wilson left for Seattle, where
his parents reside, last night. He
was with Mrs Dimond throughout
the afternoon, and when they separ-
ated Mrs, Dimond's eyes bore the
traces of tears. In this connection
the following dispatch received last
night will be OF interest:
SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 16.-Mr. Will
son, as also his parents, Captain and
Mrs, William b, Wilson, say they do
not believe there is any truth what
ever in the story sent out from Ho-
nolulu to the effect that Charles
billiard Wilson and Mrs. w. W..
Dimond had eloped, Mrs. Wilson
was seen at the home OF her parents
n.law, on Battery street, where she
is stopping to night.
She says she left Honolulu owing
to ill-health, intending to go to
Denver, thinking the climate OF that
section might do her good, where
she also expected to be joined. by
