WILD TALES FROM HONOLULU
story Of an Attempt to Blow Up the
Steamer Picking.

Victoria, i. c., June lS.-The steamer
Miowera brought the following from Hon
Olulu. June s:
The Hawaiian Star of June publishes
the following story regarding an attempt
to blow up the United States steamer City
of Picking while that vessel was in port
there:
''If report which is in circulation today
is true, Honolulu came near being the
scene of as frightful disaster as that OF
the Maine. The story is that nothing
more nor less than an attempt to blow up
the Picking magazine was frustrated Just
in time An enlisted man, it is said, was
caught just in the act of arranging fuse
connecting with the magazine The maya
zine contains 400 tons of powder and had
been guarded closely. The bastard it is
said is now under the closest guard and
when the Picking gets on the high seas
will be hanged to the yard arm. lhc
greatest secrecy concerning the matter is
being maintained for fear it would mar
the spirit OF the present occasion. The
alleged culprit is said to be half Span
lard"
The publication caused a sensation in
TINS city. Military officers on the ship
denied the truth of the story, but their
denial was made in halfhearted way.
There are many corroborative features
which tend to prove the truth of the re-
port, which was first circulated by en-
listed men. Others admitted that the
spanish half-breed was on board ship.
Two Honolulu citizens state that they

they saw man in irons and under close
