HAWAII EXPECTS 1T.
The Islands are Waiting Patiently to
Be "Seized.''

Honolulu, April 20, via San Francisco,
April 27.-The Hawaiian Star has this
to say:
while the rumored seizure of these
islands by the United States as a coal
ing station which was referred to in the
Star has not taken place, there are
those who believe it will take place, and
that at no distant date. 1t was eX-
pected that those high in authority
would scout the idea for it is not usual
to confess to such state secrets but be-
cause the flag has not been raised to-
day. does not signify anything.
There may be something significant,
however, in the fact that an officer of
the United States, Senator Bennington
went through the city a few days ago
and tried to buy number of American
flags. He succeeded in getting one large
one from a dealer, and said he would
take a half dozen or more if he could
get them. When told that an order
could be filed quickly at San Francisco
he replied that he must have the flags
at once and could not wait for a steam
er. Small flags were not wanted.
ut is accepted as certainty that the
island will be seized as soon as war is
declared
The rumor that British Consul Ken
ny has requested the Hawaiian island
ers to declare neutrality has been dis
posed of by Minister Cooper, who states
that Mr.. Kenny had made no such re-
quest.

BURNING CANE FIELDS
Believed to Be Burning of Cane
Fields by Insurgents.
New York Makes a Run Close
Along Shore.

On Board the Flagship New York, off
Havana, via Key West, Fla, April ~
Since yesterday noon no strange sails
have been sighted and the afternoon has
been without incident.
For several hours the New York cruised
close to the shore in the direction of Ha-
vana, at times being within a mile and
a half of the wooded hills, which formed
a picturesque panorama.
Smoke was seen in large quantities
throughout the day, ascending from the
tract of land on the inland ranges. 1t
was believed that the insurgents were burn
ing canefelds and causing extensive de-
VISITATION. However, the smoke may
have been only from burning brush.
About two hundred Spanish cavalry
were seen on the beach about fifteen
miles from Ell MORO yesterday afternoon
lance from the shore and they were with
in easy range, but no shots were fired.
1t is believed the Spanish cavalry is es-
of such incidents as the Porter landing.
The Ell MORO batteries were believed to
be firing at something about p m, but
1t was impossible to ascertain definitely
whether this was so or not. The Viii
mington captured the tiny schooner SOL
of Sagua, with a cargo of sugar, but let
her go, after being careful to see that
she went in direction opposite to Ha-
Vana.
The news from Matanzas, Cardenas and
Mariel indicates that the blockade has
been firmly established at those ports.
The Torpedo boat Foote is reported as
having been fairly under the Matanzas
batteries, but thus far not a single cas-
ualty of any kind in the fleet has been
heard of on the flagship
Lieutenant Juan Del Pine of the Span
ish infantry and his orderly were brought
on board the. flagship this morning from
the gunboat Wilmington, to whom they
had been turned over by the cruiser Gin
cinnati. The cruiser captured the Span
iards while they were in a small schooner
bound for Matanzas. Lieutenant Pine
was a furlough and going to see his
wife and infant child.
The child was born last Friday and he
had never seen it. In these circumstances
Rear Admiral Sampson and Captain Chad
wick decided to let the officer and his
orderly go under parole. They We're sent
ashore in one of the newspaper dispatch
boats.

Censumption Cured.
FOUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.

BkOUGdI BACk FF<OI1 THE N1FNAVE'
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of Sz5 W. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle

relates that a Miss Kate Michal was
seriously offended at the church pastor
because of her dismissal from the

MOVING OF TROOPS.
Roads Will Charge Government One
and Two Cents Per Mile.

Chicago, April 27.-The executive
committee met yesterday for the pur-
pose of establishing a rate to be
charged the government for the trans
pOrtation of troops.
There was a general feeling that the
rate should be cents per mile, as that
was what was paid by the government
during the civil war. However, the
roads have been charging the different
states 1 cent per mile for transporting
the state troops to their national en-
campments, and it was thought that it
might have an unpatriotic appear
ance if the reads, now that war has
been declared, should charge more than
this for carrying the troops to the
front. The matter was finally got
around by the suggestion that 1 cent
should be charged for carrying the
troops to their various rendezvous and
2 cents from there to the front.
A good way to cure young man of
a desire to go to war, Miss Girl, is to
refuse to say you don't want him to go.
This will inspire desire in him to
hang around and see who it is you
seem to have picked out for his sue
ceSSOr.

ATTEMPTED ROLD-UP.
Four Bold Highwaymen Tackled Hacls-
 man at Howard Avenue Bridge.

Four Bold Highwaymen Tackled Hack-
 man at Howard Avenue Bridge.
 A daring attempt to hold up occurs red about 1 o'clock this morning at the railroad bridge on Howard avenue. At that hour a hackman named Moon- ey, who drives for Alexander White, was returning from taking a party home when four men jumped into the street at the bridge and ordered him to stop. One of them attempted to jump upon the seat, but Mooney pushed him back and whipped up his team. He drove to the Howard avenue police sta- tion and told Sergeant Orr of what had happened. Sergeant Orr promptly detailed Policemen Cook and Connolly to go to the bridge in citizens clothes and see if they could find the highway men. Hackman Mooney drove to the two policemen back to the bridge in his hack. Arrived there they saw only one man in sight. They asked him if he had seen anything of a crowd of four men together and he told them that he had just been assaulted by such crowd, who had soon after talk en a car into the city. The policemen then decided to go to the central part of the city and look for their men. They were driven in by Mooney and alighted at the corner of Chuch and Crown streets. There they looked around for sorae time without finding anyone who answered the description of the men they wanted. Finally, how ever Policeman Cook saw four men to- gether coming from the dance in Ha-s rugari hall and stopped them. He be- gan to ask them questions when sud- denly two of them bolted. Cook and Connolly held the other two and Mooney identified one of them as one of the crowd which tried to hold him up. The two were taken to the central police station and locked up on charges of breach of the peace. They gave their names as Joseph P. Gallagher and William c. Blatchley. The names of the two who escaped were obtains ed and lookout was kept for them during the rest of the night. They had not been captured up to late hour, however.

SECRECY AT LEAGUE ISLAND,
A Report of Important Orders From
 Washington.

Philadelphia, March 17.-There was an air of unusual secrecy at League Island navy yard to-day. The off, cers were absolutely silent in regard to what was going on or contemplated. This with the hustle aboard the war; ships and the whisperings among en- isted men gave rise to the report that important orders had been received from Washington. The ram Kathadin has been all but ready to sail and had a full supply of stores on board. To- day men were removing the stores to the dock. The decks of the cruisers Columbia and Minneapolis were litter ed with stores. Small boats were ply ing between the Columbia and the shore all day. Twenty-Five men from Brooklyn were divided between the two vessels. The Miamtonomah's crew was busy slowing away coal and the decks were filled with stores. It was reported that she will take on 150 rounds or armor projectiles and sup ply of powder. Work is being pushed on the Qualifications at Delaware City.

REPORT OF NAVAL COURT
ADMIRAL SICARD DENIES THAT I1
 HAS BEEN MADE.

Is Also Reported as Saying That He Does
 Not Know When It Will be Forwarded-
 Another Dispatch Says Special Report
 Has Been Sent to Washington, but Not
 the Finding.
 Key West, Fla, March 17.-No mem- Der of the court of inquiry came on shore from the Iowa to-day, and it was impossible to learn on board the battle- ship what, if anything, had been done. Not until a late hour this evening was the correspondent of the Associated Press able to ascertain from Rear Ad- miral Sicard the status of the investi- gation. Admiral Sicard said:
 Tt is impossible at this stage to say how soon the court will be ready to make its report. The members are continuing their labors. When they are ready to re-examine the officers of the Maine whom I have detained here they will either do so in the federal building or summon them to the Iowa. The courts report has not yet been made, and am unable to say when it will be made. The notion that it would be in Washington by Saturday was probably based purely on inference. It should be borne in mind that the work of the court necessarily progresses slowly"
 Before reaching Washington the re- port must pass through the hands of Rear Admiral Sicard. If it did not leave here to-day it could not reach Wash ington by Saturday. There is good au- thority for the assertion that the court. will probably return to Havana before reaching it's conclusions. Greater se- crecy than ever is maintained, but it was ascertained by the correspondent that most of the time of the court to- day was occupied in revising the testi- mony.
 Globe from Key West, Fla, says: Tt is learned tonight that special re- port of the work of the court of in- quiry has been sent to Washington. This is not the report and the findings of the court, which have not been yet agreed upon, but it Is in the nature of a communication for the use of the president, which he may or may not make public, as he sees fit. In any event it will prepare the way for what the board will report and enable him to take measures according as the court will find that the Maine was blown up from the outside The full report, it was said tonight, will not be formulated and in the hands of the secretary of the navy for some days vet"
