was no means of extinguishing the fire
at the school, and the buildings being
over mile from town no aid could be
rendered, and in short time the en-
tire annex was enveloped in flames. In
less than 20 minutes from the time the
fire was first seen the building was de-
stroyed. There were about 25 other
persons in the school who escaped in
their nightclothes with the greatest
difficulty.

That Expected Schooner.

The Lehua came in late last night
from Hawaii and Kahoolawe. The lat
ter is the place where it is expected the
opium from the Coast schooner will
be landed.
In conversation with one of the Of
ficers of the Lehua. it was learned that
Sheriff Baldwin and a posse of eight
policemen were at KahoOlawe waiting
for unexpected schooner. Before Mar
shall Brown left the place he gave GER
tain instructions to Mr. Baldwin which
resulted in the move mentioned above
The Marshal, although he has given
up all hope of the appearance of the
vessel from the Coast, left no avenues
of escape open. The Maui police are at
the Deverill place, where they will
remain for some time yet.
The officer said that nothing had
been heard of the expected vessel. and
believed the report to be a great big
set-up job. He thinks if any vessel is
to arrive here she will probably land
what opium she has in .the other di-
rection.
The Maui officers on Kahoolawe are
armed TO the teeth and ready for fight.
A watch is kept both night and day for
the ship that has not appeared.

If the Jewel stove had not
met with popular favor in
Honolulu, we would not
have ordered the second
time. Since we opened
business in our present
quarters, less than fourteen
months ago, we have sold
400 Jewel stoves. By the
w. H. Dimond which arriV-
ed on Thursday, we reCeiV-
ed I2O of different sizes. 1t
constitutes one car load di-
rect from the factory; another
lot will be here in a week.
This is without exception,
the greatest fuel saver that
has ever been imported to
the Islands. The JEWEL is
made on the best stove prin-
ciples and saves money to
the purchaser. They are low
in price and made to wear
every piece Of the stove may
be duplicated and in this way
it will last forever. 1t is
cheaper to buy single cast
ing than a whole stove.
We sell them for cash, al
lowing : per cent. discount.
We also sell them, as before,
on the contract system, the
purchaser paying one-third
in cash, the balance in five
equal monthly payments.

WANTS TO LEAVE.
Captain Sakata Will Take All
Smallpox Chances.

Captain Sakata of the Kinai Maru
is very anxious to leave with his
steamer for Japan, and is willing TO
take all kinds of chances in order TO
get away. Gle understands that he
must take back with him all of the re-
jected Japanese immigrants Rather
than be detained here any longer, he
is willing TO take these Japanese
aboard now and leave at once, provided
the customs authorities will issue
clearance papers.
The captain applied to Deputy Col
lector McStOcker yesterday, but was
informed that until satisfactory ar
rangements are made with the Board
OF Health nothing can be done. AS the
Government offices will be closed to-
day, on account of it's being Good Fri
day, the matter must remain in Statu
quo until tomorrow. Judging from re-
marks made at the last meeting of the
Board of Health, that body has moth
ing to do with returning the rejected
Japanese. When the investigation was
ended the disposition of the immi
grants rested with the Government
proper. President Dole could not be
seen yesterday, so that whatever deci-
sion, if any, was arrived at could not
be ascertained. 1t is not probable that
any action will be taken until the be-
ginning of the week, as it is expected
Minister Smith, the war-horse of quar-
antines and epidemics, will be home by
Sunday morning.
Captain Sakata will have to give
bonds for the support of the rejected
Japanese, and if. they are not to be
taken away on the Kinai Maru another
bond will be exacted for their main
tenance until they leave the country.

MIR. SHIMAMURA BANOUETED.
Grand Good Time at Hawaiian
Hotel Last Night.

The Hawaiian Hotel was a very at
tractive place last night. lighted up as
it was with japanese lanterns and dec
GRATED with Japanese flags. The Ha-
waiian Band. in the old stand, was also
another attractive feature. In the pro-
gram of music they played, were three
japanese airs, besides the "Kima Ga
Yo," this on account of the banquet
that was being rendered Mr.. Shima-
mura on his promotion from Consul
General 70 Minister Resident to Ha-
waii.
The dining room was decorated sim
ply. but effectively. with palms and
ferns. and in prominent places Japan
ese flags. The table running the whole
length of the main dining hall was
prettily set, flowers and candelabras
making an artistic effect
Around the festive board were seated
~ of the representative Japanese mer-
chants of the city. who were the ones
giving the banquet TO their Minister
Resident. Mr.. Shimamura was seated
at the head of the table. When the
way, and everyone at the table had
proposed his health, he arose and made
an address complimentary to his coun-
trymen there assembled Other
speeches were made later on. The af-
fair was altogether a very successful
one, and Mr.. Levy, clerk at the hotel
deserves credit for the way he got it
up.

MR. EDITOR:-Can you find space
for few lines in regard to mountain
trout? Have there at any time in the
past been any introduced here, and
Islands? If not, why not? Quail,
mynahs, pheasants, mongose, gold
fish, etc., have been introduced here,
and have done well. Some of them too
we'll There are in these Islands hun
dreds of fine, clear, cool mountain
streams, barren of all piscatorial life
of any value. There are no piscatorial
sports of an exciting, healthy nature,
such as on the Coast and other parts of
the world.
From what | have seen of the noun
tain streams here land [ have seen
a good many and judging from what
| have seen of mountain trout, their
haunts, habits and the waters they
thrive best in, l believe if they were in
trOduced here that they would do we'll
in all the mountain streams of the ISL
ends. They are in the fullest sense of
the word a mountain fish and would
naturally keep nearer the head of the
streams than the outlet. l can see no
reason why the beautiful mountain
streams of the Islands should not, in
a few years, TEEN with life and thou
sands of the speckled beauties, a boon
and a benefit and a source of pleasure
and profit for all time, provided, the
Government or some progressive, lib
eral-minded person or persons of
means were to take the matter in hand
and go ahead with it. Of course, it
would take money, time and work TO
accomplish the object in view, but the
result, l believe, would be of a very
satisfactory and beneficial nature to
the country. Piscatorially yours,
