THREE ARE DEAD
Loss of Life By Flood at
Waimea, This Island.
An Old Native Woman Went With
Bridge-Pond and Fish Rushed
Into the Sea-Worst Yet.

News from Waimea, a place about five
miles from Waialua, this island, came by
stage yesterday morning, telling of the
storm on Sunday and recounting the loss
of three lives. A letter from a cores
spondent contains the following:
You had hardships in Honolulu, during
the storm but we down here in Waimea
with our 40 or 50 people, can discount
you.
'On Sunday afternoon, there was sud
den swelling of the Waimea stream. The
waters rose so suddenly that people hard
ly had time to realize what had happened
before the deluge was upon them. The
farm houses of VIM. Rathburn and An
drew Cox, fences, sheds, trees of all kinds,
including cocoanut and coffee, pigs chick
ems, ducks and a variety of other things,
We're swept down in a mass. The Wal
mea bridge was torn away while the foot
bridge at Anahulu and two double bridges
at Waialua, met the same fate. Four
Cinnamon were caught up with all their
belongings, including 20 chickens and a
number of ducks and pigs. Luckily the
where they remained until the waters re-
ceded.
Mrs. Hookaea and her child, and Ke-
pola, an old native woman, were drown
ed. Kepola was swept along by the water
and, upon reaching the bridge, grasped
it and held on. She might have saved
herself had not the bridge given way just
wreck and, up to the time of writing, her
body had not been recovered, nor had
those of Mrs. Hookaea and her child.
"The pond near waimea, known as Lo-
koea, is now dry land. The water with
its wealth of fish, was swept out and, in
its place. was deposited a lot of drift and
mud. When the waters receded, the pond
dried up so that now one may walk across
without any trouble.
Deputy Sheriff Cox and his men were
on hand and rendered all the assistance
possible under the circumstances.
school Agent Anderson who has been
here nearly 49 years, says he has never
experienced such a thing during that
time.
THE loss to property is estimated at
about $4,000.
after the worst was over, the Road
Board met and decided to hire canoes for
the purpose of crossing the stream. There
is no other way to get across
Captain Mosher of the Kaena reports
havoc played by the storm at Waialua.
Both bridges are down and have drifted
in sections off Puuiki. The place where
the steamers go in at Waialua is filed
with mud allowing of no entrance what
ever. The place where the Kaena an
chored last time has but II inches of
water now. The Kaena brought back no
freight whatever.

Proposal TO Unite Interest of Great
Britain and United States.
LONDON, March 19.-The remarkable
unanimity of the approval of both classes
and masses of the mere suggestion of an
Anglo-American alliance compels belief
in the sincerity of the desire of the Brit
ish public for an entente with the United
States. The fact that most of the cable
dispatches from America have proclaimed
that the suggestion has been seriously
discussed is heartily welcomed here, and
is regarded as extremely important and
gratifying, as evidencing a friendly spirit

The diplomat continued: 1T is not any
stretch of the imagination TO say that
such a union has been longed for by
the best men in Great Britain many
years, not only because of the desire for
closer bonds of friendship, but because
it is a known fact that all the states
men of Europe realize that a close alli

would constitute, not only the surest
guarantee of the peace of the world, but
would afford proof that the reign of law
and individual liberty is to be extended
for the benefit of mankind in spite of the
efforts TO extinguish it made by reaction

Secretary Ascertains How Quickly
Boats Can Be Built.

Boats Can Be Built.
WAsHIN GTON, March 20.-Eforts to
buy a sufficient number of torpedo boats
and destroyers abroad have about been
abandoned and contracts probably will be
let in a few days for building a number
of each in this country.
Friday, Secretary Long telegraphed TO
every shipyard capable of doing the work
10 let him know the shortest time it would
require TO build torpedo destroyers of $50
tons, with a speed of thirty knots, and
torpedo boats of 100 tons with a speed of
twenty knots. Many replies have been
received, some putting the time for the
boats as low as three months, and that
for the destroyers at four months.
Chief Constructor Hichborn thinks this
fast time and if the negotiations now on
foot for purchase shall fall through, Sec
retary Long will direct the yards to COM
mence building. Some of the tugs and
yachts in New York may be converted
into torpedo boats, but this method is
thought likely 10 prove unsatisfactory
Heavy penalties will be imposed for delay
in delivering the boats. and equally heavy
premiums for anticipating the date called
for by the contractors.

NEW YORK, March 22.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: The impression
that some diplomatic representation will
be made TO Spain before Congress learns
the findings of the court of inquiry ap-
pears to be groundless. The President,
on the contrary, recognizes that the peo-
pie of this country have the right to the
information secured by the board before
it is confided to any foreign government.
What the Presidents policy in dealing
with the report will be can only be left
TO conjecture. How far Congress will be
asked or expected TO share in shaping the
program to be followed by this country
in seeking indemnifcation from Spain is
also absolutely an undeciphered problem.

JUDGE DAY EMPHATIC.
he Informs Spanish Commissioners That
the Philip Ines VIII BE Demanded
Irrespective OF Any Other Debt

London, Oct Is.-A dispatch TO the
London News Agency from Paris says:
Yesterday the conference reached
crisis for the first time Judge Dav
presen ted the demands Of the Ameri-
can commission in threatening words.
He said that delay was the only posi-
bic object attainable by the persistent
efforts Of the Spanish commissioners
to saddle the United States with the
Cuban debt, and would be tolerated
no longer, as the United States would
neither assume nor guarantee any
part Of the debt. The Spaniards re-
piled that this placed Spain in a posi-
ton Of repudiating or Of reducing the
face value Of the Cuban bonds
from so to 90 per cent, paying only
half the stipulated interest on the re-
duced value. Before they would adopt
either alternative they would surren-
der to the United States the entire
Philippines Judge Day responded
that the surrender Of the Philippines
would probably be demanded irrespec-
tive Of the Cuban or any other debts
This, to the Spaniards the first intima-
ton Of the intention Of the United
States as to the Philippines, resulted
in a whispered conference, followed
by a request for an adjournment in
order to communicate with Madrid.
Judge Day said that President McKin-
ley had instructed him to demand the
entire surrender Of Porto Rico to-day,
and the delivery Of every town to the
United States officers before midnight,
together with the evacuation Of Ha-
vana on or before November 1, when
the United States would be at the
gates Of the city ready to take poses
sion There was no alternative offered
in the case of either Of the demands
and the session consequently was very

sitting Of the peace commission yes
terday afternoon the American com
missiOners oficially-and 1t would

missiOners thereupOn remarked that,
Spain having abandoned such sOver-
eighty under pressure from the United
States, and the United States having
denied that sovereignty hencefOrth
belongs to them, Cuba is de factO
in a state Of anarchy, as an inter
mission Of sovereignty cannot be
viewed in any other light. The Amer
lean commissioners rejoined that,
without accepting sovereignty, the
United States considered themselves
deputed and bound to maintain secur-
ity To- all the inhabitants; that they
would not fail to introduce and up
hold order, and, in short, they would
do all that was necessary to put the is
