Official advices received tonight from
Commodore Schley contain no informa-
ton such as is reported from Madrid, al
though it is known that they were writ

Cured. The advices from Commodore
Schley indicate that he is now on sta
ton for several days guarding the en-
trance to the bay of Santiago de Cuba.
Commodore Schley has not only his own
squadron, but two or three vessels besides
at his command, and it is not believed to
be possible for the Spanish admiral to es-

No information is obtainable as to the
intentions of Commodore Schley. Wheth-
CT he will endeavor to force an entrance
to the bay and seek battle with the
Spanish squadron is not known, but such
a course at present is not regarded as
likely. 1t would be better, in the opin-
ion of some naval officials to keep Ger
vera and his vessels safely in the har
Dor, where they are as absolutely useless
as they would be at the bottom of the

JUDGE N|GNANN yLLSRN|N FOR PRESIDENT
MAY BE CHOSEN BY THE JOCKEY
CLUB.
An Effort is Being Made to Get Him
to Assume the Direction of the
Club.

Tonights meeting of the Jockey
Club promises to be one of the most
interesting and important that organ
ization has had for a good many
years. ). &. Wilder, who has been
the secretary for four years, is firm
in his determination. expressed some
time ago, not to accept Il reelection,
on account of the pressure of other
business. Major Mccarthy is the only
member spoken of as his successor.
and his choice for the position will
probably he unanimous.
President II. \. Widemann, who
has been at the head of the club for
eight or ten years. feels that he has
rendered as long service in that Office
as the club has right to ask of him,
and with the pressure of other busi-
ness he has announced that he will
not accept a reelection. \ strong eff
fort is being made to induce William
G.. Irwin to accept the presidency.
and it is said with much hopes of sue
cess, though he has not fully given
his consent.
There is a strong movement in the
club for more life and activity in rae
ing matters than has been exhibited
in the past. This feeling is general,
so that there is no division in the
club on that question. The new Off
GERS whoever they may be. will go in
on this platform and will have the
support of the united club.
The prospects for the June races are
extremely flattering. There will be at
least fifteen more horses entered than
ever appeared on the track at any
previous meeting. New stalls will
have to be erected for their accommo-
dation. 1t has been proposed that
the lumber in the old Agricultural
Association buildings now on the
grounds shall be utilized for this
purpose. They We're given to the club
by the park commissioners last year
for stabling room. but with the pri-
vate stables then in use it was thought
they would not be needed. 1t is believ-
ed now that the additional stalls
should be constructed inside the pres
ent paddock enclosure and the mate
rial of the old buildings can be used
for that purpose.

DISPOSES OF ALL HIS STOCK IN
WAIANAE.
Syndicate Headed by j. NJ Dowsett
Buys at the Top Figure of S21O per
Share.

During the past week Judge Wide
mann has disposed of all his stock in
Waianae plantation to a syndicate,
headed by his son-in-law. j. NJ. Dow
sett. The transaction is the largest
in sugar stock that has taken place
in many months. In all 1S5 shares of
stock were delivered to the syndicate
at the top notch price of S210 per
share.
Judge Widemann was the largest
individual stakeholder in the planta-
ton, and the controlling factor. The
next heaviest holder is the Estate of
Jules Richardson. Other Stockholders
are George Richardson, Fred Macfar-
lane and Manager Ahrens.
The Waianae sugar planta-
ton is considered one of the best on
this Island, and is good deal of a
close corporation. The price paid for
the stock by the new syndicate is con
sdered a top-notcher. II is under
stood that Judge Widemaun sells out
simply that he may get his affairs in
good order.

BIG STEAMER IN DISTRESS
MET BY THE MARTHA DAVIS ON
SATURDAY NIGHT.
Only Twenty Miles From Port and
Headed Northeast-May Have Been
the II. NJ. S. Warrimoo.

A considerable stir has been caus-
ed along the water front by the report
of Captain Soule of the bark Martha
Davis, that while about twenty miles
from port on Saturday night he
sighted steamship headed northeast,
travelling very slowly and acting
strangely. He saw her lights first at
about p. m.aand it was midnight be-
fore they dropped out of sight. AL
though apparently aware of the pres
ence of the bark, the officers of the
steamship did not exchange signals,
but the vessel was kept on her
course.
Speculation is rife as to the identity
of the steamship, but it is the general
opinion that it must be the X. NJ. S.
Warrimoo, which sailed from this
port on Friday evening for Nancou-
yer. So far as is known there was no
other steamship in this vicinity, or
that might be expected to be on that
course. The supposition is that the
Warrimoo broke down soon after leav-
ing port, and has since been hove to
under repairs. When she left port it
was noted and commented on that
she acted very strangely, and was
travelling at a greatly reduced rate OF
speed. Naturally, as the weather was
calm, if the engineers believed they
could make the repairs at sea, the
commander would simply stop the
engines and let them go ahead with
the repairs.
If this has been the case, it is prob
able that when the Martha Davis fell
in with the Warrimoo the engineers
had succeeded in making sufficient
headway to enable her to go ahead on
her course at reduced speed.
Some are ready to suggest that the
delay of the Il. NJ. S. Miowera may be
due to accident to the Warrimoo;
that the Miowera found the Warri-
moo disabled at sea, and is now tow
ing her back here for repairs. The
Miowera was expected yesterday but
had not put in an appearance at l
o'clock this afternoon. She may have
been held for the English mails, but
the theory advanced is plausible.
Captain Soule first reported his
meeting with the strange steamship
to Pilot Macauley on his arrival. He
would not have thought it at all
strange. had the steamship not been
in apparent distress, and so close to
port. The Martha Davis was travel,
ing slowly when she fell in with the
steamer. waiting for daylight to get
up into the channel.

HOW IRELAW STANDS NOW
COUNTERFEITERS OF NOTES MAY
NOT GET DESERTS.
No Lew Against Their Industry-Be-
lieved to Have Unloaded Their
Goods on the Other Islands.

The discovery made on Saturday
that there is now no law against the
counterfeiting of treasury notes, as
related exclusively in The Star, on
Saturday, has since been verified by
two leading lawyers. The statement
Is now made that sven if the makers
Of the bogus notes were canght red
handed, with the plant for manufact-
uriug spurious paper money in their
possession and quantity of the blue
stuff on hand, they could not be
prosecuted. In the opinion of those
who have looked into the matter, it
would be necessary to prove that the
men actually passed the bogus bills
before they could be prosecuted, and
then only a charge of gross cheat.
The charge of forgery might also he
brought, but it would be difficult TO
convict.
1t is stated that bill will be intro
duced in the present Legislature to
make it a criminal offense to counter
felt treasury notes The present law
only covers silver ctins, making it
an offence punishable by life impris-
onment to counterfeit them. Such a
bill. if introduced, can be hurried
through Ill SnOEt OTutE, Dut II
effect the makers of the spurious bills
now in circulation. Despite the insult
ficiencv of the law. however, the po-
lice will try to ferret ont the counter
feiters. and prosecute them as far as
possible.
II is now generally believed that
the counterfeiters are iocated on one
of the other Islands. and that they
have placed their money in circula-
ton in the smaller towns and villages,
and not here in this city, as at first
supposed. When the merchants and
plantation people throughout the Is
lands generally are notified that bad
money is in circulation, and begin to
look over their cash, it is believed that
they will find large amount of the
bogus money in circulation. The bills
| found here are said to have come from
the other Islands. 1t would be much
easier to "shove the queer" among the
native and Chinese store keepers in
the country than here, where it was
likely to come Immediately under the
eyes Of banking people, who are sup
posed to know bogus money at mere
glance. 1t will be at least fortnight
before all the Islands can be heard
from. After that it will be an easier
matter to try and locate the point al
which the counterfeiters commenced
their operations and perhaps get
some clue to the whereabouts of theil
plant.

LAHAINA NEWS NOTES.

Lahaina, April 10.
On Easter day the Anglican church
in Lahaina was very prettily decorat-
ed with palapalai ferns and white ole
anders. There were also palms and
lauhalas in pots on each side of the
chancel.
At the II o'clock service the church
was filled with people, and the SER
vice was bright and hearty. The
prayers were read and the sermon
preached by Rev. w. Ault.
A Chinaman named All Mi was Sc
verely bitten by large pig last Mon
day. He went into the pen and the
animal got him down and commenced
to chew his leg and thigh, and
would have killed him, if assistance
had not arrived. He called out "Haul
in," at the top of his voice, and a
countryman who was at work near
by, came and with some difficulty he
drove the pig off with "A stick. All
Mi is still confined to his bed.
