D ANSWER GTE PRINCES OFT FOR UANO ISLANDS Light WINE BILL DEBATED
WAIALEALE TO VISIT LAYSAN
AND MIDWAY GROUP.
Senator Wilcox and DR.. Averdam on
Important Business Mission-Away
Month.

The steamer Waialeale of the L. L.
5. \. Co.'S fleet will sail early next
week for Laysan Island and ONE of
the other Islands and groups of the
Northwest. She goes on an import
ant business mission. On board will
be Senator q. y. Wilcox, u large stock
holder and officer of the Pacific Fer
tilizer Company, and DR.. Averdam,
the chemist at the Kalihi works.
The Fertilizer Company has a
lease of Laysan Island and work the
extensive guano deposits there. Be
sides the necessary houses, store
rooms and leading apparatus, the com
pany keeps big gang of japanese
workmen on the Island in charge of
lunas sent down from here. From
three to six sailing vessels are sent
there in year to bring the guapo to
Honolulu.
Senator WilcoX's mission is, first,
to find out the extent of the deposits
remaining on Laysan Island and to Sc
cure definite estimate of future i'm
portations. Then to proceed to other
Islands in the Windward chain and
ascertain the extent and character of
deposits they may bear, the idea be-
ing to extend the business to such of
them as may be worked profitably.
1t has long been held that the Mid
way group, which belongs to the Unit
ed States, is rich in guano. There be-
ing safe anchorage in Wells har-
Dor, shipping would be easy. NeckeI
Island, French Frigate Shoals and
some other land plots in the neigh
borhood are also said to contain val
liable deposits. Under annexation
there would perhaps be no difficulty
in securing a lease of the Midway
beds.
If the mission of Senator Wilco,
is successful, as it probably will be
the business of the company will b'
materially augmented. At presen
the sapplv is hardly equal to the de
mand, and with increasing demand
the matter of supply becomes quite
problem.
The Waialeale. with the prospect
ing" party, will be away for about {
month.

THE BEHRING SEA.

The schooner Behring Sea arrived
at noon yesterday from Seattle, with
100 tons of hay, grain, flour and shin
giles for the California Feed Company.
The shingles were piled on deck. A.
o. Stevens of the Beretania street
warehouse, came down in charge of
the vessel and cargo.
The Behring Sea was bought by the
California Feed Company for parties
in Honolulu. She will be registered
under the Hawaiian flag and will ply
between the Islands. The little schoo-
ner was built at Tacoma two and a
half years ago for local trade, and has
never been registered. She is one of
the fastest sailers of her class ever
built on the coast. The trip down
was made in 90 sailing days, which
beats the usual time by from ten days
to two weeks.

CAPTAIN GR|DLEYS ASHES
ABOARD THE RIO IN A MORTU-
AIRY URN.
In Respect and Honor of His Memory
Flags Float at Half Mast in the
Harbor.

The Rio at the wharf floats her
flag at half mast The Mohican, Mon
terey, Brutus and many of the mer-
chantmen in the harbor display the
same symbol of respect for the hon
ored dead.
The ashes of the late Captain Grid
ley. who commanded the flagship
Olympia at the battle of Manila, are
being carried by the Rio to the land
of his nativity and the home of his
family. They are contained in NOR
tuary urn, for at the request of the
family sent by cable. the remains
were incinerated at Yokohama.
The Rio sailed from Yokohama on
June 18th, three days out when in
latitude 33 degrees north she encoun-
tered the northeast trades, and had
them all the way, retarding her pro
gress so that she arrived here learIy
day behind her schedule time.
OF events in the far east the Rio
brings very little news. While ut
Hongkong First Officer Robinson
learned that Admiral Dewey had
dragged up the end of the cut cahle
between Manila and Hongkong, so
tht he was in position to control
communication both by cable and "
sea. He was only waiting for men
and instruments to put the cable :Ii'c
operation for military and naval pur-
poses.
With the cable in operation much of
the necessity for the use of the Nc
Culloch as dispatch boat between
Manila and Hongkong would cease.
She is accordingly to be mounted
with heavier guns and be made 4 war
vessel of the auxiliary navy. Captain
c. L. Hooper, who passed through
here on the China, goes to take COM
mand of her.
The Rio saw nothing of the trans
ports of either the first or second Ma
Mia expedition.
She will sail for San Francisco ut
o'clock this afternoon. Probably the
next time she is seen in this port viii
be as a transport carrying boys IN
| blue.

MONTEREY AND BRU|US GO.
SAIL EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
FOR MANILA.
Go to Solve Two Unried' Experiments,
to Take Monitor Across thelDcean
and Coaling at Sea.

The Monterey and Brutus are off
to Manila. The Monterey threw off
her last line, heaved her anchor and
moved out of the harbor at half past
1 this afternoon. The Brutus start
ed half an hour later.
If the Monterey succeeds in coaling
at sea from her consort the Brutus,
she will accomplish a feat hitherto
never successfully tried But then
the whole project of sending the Mon
terey 1000 miles across the ocean was
bold and daring experiment. She
was built for coast defense vessel,
and it was never expected she would
make long trips at sea. But when she
was built the United States had no
coast in the far east to defend With
Dewey's victory it has gained some,
and the Monterey is going to defend
it.
No plan has ever been definitely
worked out and put to the test of act
ual experience for coaling a modern
war vessel at sea from an iron mer-
chantman. The officers of the Mon
terey and Brutus have no definite one.
They have several that have been fig
ured on, each believed to be adapted
be met with on the trip. One of these
is to stop at some island between here
and Manila and in the lee in very
calm water the two vessels may be
brought alongside each other and the
coal be taken direct from one to the
other.
Another plan is to use boats of the
kind used in these Islands for light
ering merchandise and passengers
from the Island steamers in rough
and boisterous roadsteads. For this
| purpose two Of these boats were pur-
chased here and were on the deck of
( the Brutus when she sailed.
| 1t is believed that while the Monte
| rey is in tow these boats can be load
ed and by means of lines allowed to
| drop back to the Monterey and be
discharged on her. As one of the Of
| ficers described it, the plan is for a
sort of aquatic cash system, with the
coal for cash and boats for carriers.
In default of the success of all these
| plans, the Brutus may tow the Mon
| terey the whole distance.

OTHER SIDE OF THE KAPIOLANI
DEED MATTER.
General Denial to Allegations of the
~1oueen Dowager-Transfer was
Genuine.

Princes David Kawananakoa and
Jonah Kalaninaole, by their attorneys
Kinney & Ballou, today filed leng-
thy answer to the action of Kapiola-
nj, noted two days ago, to set aside
a deed in which she conveyed to them
all of her property interests, real and
personal Aside from the bare facts
of the original conveyance each and
every allegation is specifically denied
and dlated upon in explanation. The
young men point to numerous wit
nesses and evidence that the Queen
Dowager realized the purport and the
force of the deed and that she recog-
nized the legal validity of the trans
fer.
One of the points particularly re-
ferred to is the fact that Kapolani
wrote her signature across each page
of the deed, to confirm the genuine
ness of the entire document. Respon-
dents affirm that this was done in
the presence of several witnesses be-
sides themselves. The business of re-
cording and filing the deed was car
ried out with the knowledge and as
sistance of certain parties recognized
as being advisers and agents of the
Queen Dowager.
The point about not paying over the
sum of $1,000 a month as agreed is
explained. Respondents state the adj
vice of the Queen Dowager's physici-
ans was that she should not attend to
any business at all. They proposed
that the "bovs' look after her private
matters, which met her entire appro-
val.
Respondents pray that the COM
plant be dismissed with costs.
