Carl Hertz Arrives IN Honolulu from
the Orient.
BY the S. S. Gaelic which arrived
from Yokohama distinguished pas
senger was Carl Hertz, renowned
throughout the Globe as a most
celebrated copjurer. Mr.. Hertz is
en- route to San Francisco where he
is to play an engagement at the
California Theatre. lie has decided,
however, to stay over till the next
steamer and give few performances
at the Opera House. Being inter-
viewed, he said
when l first went to Bombay, /
had all the lore of the white magi-
clans at my fingers ends, but l found
that that was not by any means
enough to enable me to graduate in
the great university of the Eastern
world.
DAILY l had fakirs gathered from
far and wide to give me exhibitions.
They showed ordinary tricks, and
when the performance was over l
told them through the interpreter
that l was very much displeased
with the childish things they had
shown me, and intended to Strike
them with lightning. They said
they had no fear. They were in the
business themselves, and | could
not brighten them. | made some
passes, and they stood before me
boldly till / made a furious pass
and shouted, and their clothing
burst into flames. Then they fed
in terror, casting off their light
robes, and my reputation as a won
der worker was established in India,
big business resulting every where.
The trick was very simple one, l
had discovered fluid which iguited
spontaneously and burned quite
fiercely after being exposed to the
air for minute and half. A few
drops Of this, scattered on the
clothing Of the fabirs by my confed-
crate, did the trick"
Carl Hertz has the Cross of the
Legion of Honor, conferred on him
by the late President Carnot after a
performance at the Napoleon Club.
He has also the Cross of the Legion
OF Honor OF Spain. He has per-
formed twice before the Queen, and
was presented with set comprising
a cigarette case, matchbox, ETC., by
the Prince of Wales.
The celebrated magician will give
his first entertainment next week
after the present engagement of the
Opera House has terminated.

NO LEGISLATION REQUIRED.

Boston, June 1.-THE Joint committee
on ways and means of the legislature re-
ported no legislation necessary on the
message from the governor In regard 70
the equipment Of hospital ship for
Massachusetts, sailors and soldiers. The
probable result of this report will be
that the governor will spend the m~hey
needed for this purpose from the $500, 600
already appropriated by the legislature
for war purposes.
The bill to establish the Greylock state
reservation in the county OF Berkshire,
carrying an appropriation Of s25. 900. was
passed by the house.
An attempt was made TO laugh out OF
court the bill which provides that any
commodity sold by q hawker or pedler
by dry or liquid measure shall be dcliv-
cred to the purchaser from or in the re-
captacle in which the same was meas
ured. The measure came from the
executive committee Of the State Sealers
association. and was intended to protect
the purchasers from hawkers and
pedlers. 1t was defeated.
The senate insisted on its action the
other day when the bill TO prevent ad-
vertisements In public parks. parkways
and boulevards was rejected. A motion
to reconsider that rejection was lost by
a vote Of Is to Is.
That body fixed the salaries OF the land
and harbor commissioners at $4,000 for the
chairman and $500 for the other men,
bers.
There was a lively debate In the senate
on the bill 20 restrict the operations OF
assessment life insurance companies.

nation OF any more close corporation

AFRAID OF FEVER.

Warrington. June 11.-There Is some
apprehension over the outbreak of yellow
fever In McHenry Miss.. and steps have
been taken not only to check the spread
OF the fever but with view TO prevent
Ing any possibility of an epidemic in the
south.
The danger is not so much feared at
McHenry as in the probability Of its
breaking out at other points. McHenry
is a small place, Isolated. and there is
little danger Of its spreading outside the
limits there; but the fever cases are Of
flcially believed TO be due 20 germs that
have hibernated at McHenry from the
last season when the fever was much In
evidence in that section. Throughout
the spring officials have been keeping
lookout for the first signs Of fever, and
in 10 days more the hospital surgeons
would have felt warranted In the belief
that practically all danger was past.

hope to see the division hospital abol-
ished.
Requisitions have been made upon
the war department for 100000 rounds
OF ammunition and 5000 rifles, sings,
belts and bayonets. These will put the
Second army corps on fighting basis.
This requisition was accepted by the
men as an indication OF general move
ment OF the corps.
The statement from San Francisco
that the real object of the CharlestoI's
voyage was the seizure OF the Spanish
Ladrone islands has small basis Of truth
i'm II. When IL was decided 20 send the
Monterey and Monadnock from M1re
island to Manila II was known that Slis
could not be done without sending along
colllers because OF the insufficient coal
supply of the monitors. 1t was not
deemed practicable to tow the big iron
clads the 1000 miles that they would have
10 go without coaling, so II became neccs-
sary to find places in the Pacific where
they could replenish their bunkers.
There are several groups of islands lying
between Hawaii and the Philippines
which might afford harbor In which the
colliers could lay alongside the monitors
and fill UP their bunkers. The officials
do not deem Il prudent to name the par
ticular islands chosen for the purpose,
but II is obvious that, being barred by
neutrality laws from the possessions OF
neutral countries. the first recourse OF
the navy derartr~ent would he 10 some

menaced by a scouting ship of the enemy.
AS a result, the transports have not pro-
ceeded to Cuba. They are In readiness
to GO but will not move until the naval
convoy is ready to accompany them, as
suring the safe conduct from Florida to
the point of destination. When this will
be officials of the war department posi-
lively decline TO say. and there is au-
thority ftr the statement that any re-
port purporting to give the hour or day
when this formidable feet of invasion

meets with the most vigorous official
condemnation. The administration feels
that the time has come when it Is Of ut
most Importance that the precise move
ments OF this invading fleet should not
be published and thus heralded to the
enemy.
The completeness with which the
transport of troops has been planned is
shown In the official list of the vessels
given out at the war department. or

exceeding in magnitude the notable
spectacle of the naval review during the
worlds fair year.
Official confirmation of the engagement
at Guantanamo last Tuesday came to
the navy department Friday. The terms
in which Admiral Sampson described the
affair tended strongly to take away the
large Importance given II In the un-
official dispatches. There was a notable
failure on the part of the admiral to
mention anything like landing, al
though the statement that the Marble
head now holds the lower bay by i'm
plication may carry with II the idea that
her marines are ashore. Elderly naval
officers who have been in Guantanamo

NO INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN.

Madrid, June 11.-In the chamber OF
deputies yesterday the minister Of the
colonies. in reply to a question as to
whether Captain General August had
been given instructions in the event Of
being obliged to surrender how to treat
with Admiral Dewey, the American
commander. or Aguinaldo. the insurgent
chief, said the government had given no
instructions on this subject.
Whether Admiral Camaras fleet, with
reinforcements, ever sailed for the
Philippines is doubtful. Many people
think II may soon be more urgently re-
quired nearer home. Meanwhile the
political Importance of events in the
Philippines Is fully recognized. The
Impartial says: "As bearing on the
peace negotiations. what we may do in
the Pacific will be Of capital and perhaps
Of decisive interest. In the bay Of Manila
is the colonial future of Spain, and In the
promptitude with which assistanc ~ 9
sent lies the key Of the future" This
and similar references to peace nego-
tiations are significant, but II would be
a mistake to assume confidently that the
Spanish government Is about to take the
initiative in that direction.
