A BIG MAIL TO GO ON THE NENT
STEAMER.
1t is Estimated That Each Soldier
Wrote at Least Three Letters-0ver
Six Thousand were Written,

The Foreign Office presents an eN-
ceedingly busy scene today. Nearly
6,O00 letters and papers are piled on
the tables and floor and are being
stamped for the mail on Wednesday.
Thev We're all written by the Boys
in Blue who sailed from Honolulu on
Saturday. Secretaries Potter, Ma ~
intosh and Marx, Miss Kelly and Miss
Widdifield have been up to their eyes
in the work the letters have entailed.
In the lot of mail are many packl-
ges, some of considerable size, to 20
by parcel post. Most of these and
many letters had American stamps on
them. Upon such well known bust
ness man down town has printed the
following: Foreign postage paid by
citizens of Honolulu. American stamps
will be good only when You annex
Hawaii"
1t is estimated that the average Of
letters written by the soldiers and
sent through the Foreign Office viii
be at least three per man. All are
not in yet and no counts have been
possible. The letters go to almost
every state and territory and to a.
most every city and village on the
Pacific Coast. Many of them are very
bulky, requiring stamps ranging from
ten to twenty-five cents.
4 large number of the letters Ire
addressed to newspaper men, the re-
suits of which may be easily guessed.
/ Others will undoubtedly find their
/ way into the papers. In fact il is well
known that many of the boys re-
quested their relatives in the States
to furnish the information given to
the newspapers. In a few days every
paper on the Coast and many east
will have their columns full of the
story of the reception TO the boys in
Honolulu.

THEY BOUGHT HEAVILY.
Transports MAIDS Extensive Purchases
in Honolulu.

The United States transports bought
a large amount of supplies in this
city. 1t was first announced by the
officers that only clothing and few
odds and ends would be required But
the vegetable and grocery markets
were heavily drawn upon. One King
street concern almost sold out to
the transports, while many fruit
stores have been unable to supply
their trade since the visit of the
Boys in Blue.
No special fuctuation in prices have
been caused except in the matter of
potatoes. 1t happened that the mar
ket was already rather short. Satur-
day afternoon potatoes were sold us
high as $3.50 a bag. This advance can
not hold, however, as large ship
ments are already on the way from
Kula and other ighborhoods. to
say nothing of California orders.
The money left in the city by the
transports could not have amounted
to much less than 100000, and it has
been estimated by some business
men considerably above this figure.

Soldier boys were received and also
shown over nearly all of the public

other places were visited At the
prison, guards showed the visitors all
around, and light refreshments
were served, Two deputy sheriffs,
one from Oregon and the other from
California, were deeply interested Wis

themselves as greatly pleased with
every arrangement there.

y YACHT ..NPERIENCE.
\ Party on the Edith L. Have an En-
joyable Time.

\ gay party went sailing in the
sloop yacht Edith l.. Saturday after
noon, and had an experience, which
as it was exciting and not dangerous,
they ali thoroughly enjoyed.
The party, consisting of five per-
and struck a squall which strained the
mast footings. There was no difficult
ty however in sailing back. But just
as they got to the entrance of the
channel, another squall struck them
and snapped off the mast 1t fell in
such a way that the safety of the
sloop was in no way endangered. The
men of the party immediately mann
ed the oars and rowed toward one of
the buoys. To this the sloop was
made fast, while the broken mast
rigging and sail were disentangled,
preparatory to rowing through the
channel.
The men on the Bennington and a
number of natives on the wharves saw
the mast snap and supposing that the
sloop was in peril, manned the Ben
nington's launch and a number of
shore boats and went out. While the
members of the party feel very CRATE
full for this offered assistance, they
say they were at no time in any per-
il or danger, as they had row locks
and oars, and were able to handle the
sloop perfectly.

TROUBLE FROM AN UNEXPECTED

1t looks as though Spain may be
called upon to give satisfaction to
japan If the inquiry now going on as
to the cause of the destruction OF the
Maine Shows that the ship was blown
up from the outside. There were seven
Japanese on board of the Maine ut the
time she was destroyed, and all were
killed. If it is proven that the ship
was blown UP from the outside Il is
said that Japan will demand of Spain
n heavy indemnity on account of them.

This means trouble for Spain from
an unexpected quarter, and will prove
invaluable to the United States in the

nation. 1t is said that the Japanese
Minister at Washington has given this
Government assurances of Japan's sup
port in case of war with Spain, but
that same has neither been accepted or
