gaging manners, his pure ana noble
character and manly department. and
wept when they realized that his bright
young life which held SO much of good
in promise for himself, his family. his
friends, and his state and country had
been so grievously ended. Those who did
not know him personally were told the
story Of his boyhOOd and developing man

scIs engaged. They entered the harbo,
for the purpose of attacking some Span
iSh gunboatS which We're known to be
there. These latter. however. were no,

were ahead and opened fire on the Span
iSh boats which were lying ut the docks.
The firing being at Il range of :}.oGb
Yards \ few minutes later. the Wins
low came up and also opened fire. In al
instant the entire attention of tin,
Spanish gunboats and land batteries was
directed upon her. From all sides sho1
and shell seemed to pour i'll upon the lit
tie torpedo boat.
The Wilmington and the Hudson still
kept up their fire but they could not
turn aside the terrible storm of hire and
death pouring in upon the torpedo boa'~
The crew Of the Winslow, however
never faltered for second. At 2:.jo

of the Winslow and Knocked out her

Then there was Il moment OF aW1ul
suspense. A fierce chpe" of triumph
went mp from the SpaDiards on the gur
boats and in the batteries and n general
storm of fire was opened UP on the heip-
less boat. The gunboat Hudson. when
was lying nearby started to the ASSIST
ancc Of the Winslow. She ran along
side the torpedo boat and tried to throw
Il line to the imperilled crew.
Up TO this time, with the exception OF
the one shot which disabled the boiler
of the Winslow. the firing of the Span

Winslow lay rolling in the water. the
range grew closer and shells began 10 cX-

Fifty Thousand Dollar Plant to be

The enterprising firm of Gear, Lam

wait for the government to lay water
mains to their properties in the
neighborhood of Diamond Head, but
are now negotiating for a pumping
plant of their own.
I'VE have not bargained for a plant
yet" said A. V. Gear this morning.
I'VE are negotiating with three firms
for the necessary machinery. We
want pump with daily capacity of
100000 gallons. The well and the
pumping station will probably be To-
Gated close to the present Beckley
well, where experts in such matters
have assured us we shall find abund-
ance of water. From the wells the
water will be pumped through a 16
inch main to the reservoir, for which
we have natural site, evidently an

go through our own property to the
reservoir, not along the Kapahulu
road as has been stated. From the
reservoir branch lines will run to
kapiolani and Kapahulu additions if
the property owners wish it. We have
decided that our charges for water
will be the same as those eXacted by
the government.
Fifty thousand dollars will prob
ably be required" continued Mr.. Gear,
ito put our present plans into opcr-
alton. The 16 inch main from the
pumping station to the reservoir will
cost $4,000 for the pipe alone. and
then there is the cost of the wells,
pumping station and pumps and lay
ing pipes. We must have water on
the premises in that vicinity, and
now that there is no present prospect
of obtaining it from the government
through the failure of the loan act to
become operative, we are compelled
to rely on our own resources"

CRISIS IN MADRID.
Martial Law Proclaimed in the Spanish
Capital.

Martial Law Proclaimed in the Spanish
Capital.
Madrid, May 4.-The Civil Governor has
just caused to be posted on the walls of the
Home Office a proclamation intimatlng that
the civil officials have transferred the con-
troll of the capital to the military authori-
ties, who are now responsible for the main
tenance of order.
General Daban, commander of the First
Army Corps, has therefore assumed the
reins. Military patrols are out, and the
police and gendarmes are also under mill
tary control
This measure is the direct result of the at
titude of the Carlists and Republicans.
The spirit of false citation, based on the
Ministerial misrepresentation regarding
the battle at Manila, has yielded to great
indignation now that the facts are seen in
their true perspective. The people have
become fully aware that the Spanish squad
ron has been lost and that the situation is
hopeless. They expect momentarily to
hear that Manila has been captured and
that the Philippine Islands are in the hands
of the enemy.
