HIGH WATER At WAIKIKI
EXTRAORDINARY TIDES YESTER-
DAY AND TODAY.
The Dimond Pier Washed Away and
the Pratt Premises Flooded-Lower
Beach Road Partial Inundated.

Not in the memory of the oldest in
haDItant OF Waikiki beach has there
been such high tide as that of yes
terday afternoon at / o'clock, but on
the whole very little damage was done
by the waves. The Pratt premises at
Old Waikiki were under water and
part of the embankment washed oil.
The wooden pier leading to the Di-
mond bath house was washed away,
and all along the beach the waves
scooped out immense quantities of
sand, which was carried out to sea
by the undertow. At Wright's Villa
the water came up to the house, but
did no damage. At E. 5. Cunha's the
water washed clear over the cement
embankment but ran off again with
out harming any property or flood
ing the place. At the Waikiki bridge
the water dashed clear across the
road. Parties going along the new
beach road between and & O'Clock
last night We're surprised to find the
same under water in several places,
but were rewarded by the magnificent
sight presented by the enormous
breakers which followed on one an
other almost mountain high.
This mornings tide was also very
high, and it was all strong man
could do to stand in the water Resi-
dents along the beach are preparing
for another high tide between and
this afternoon. AS the water is
much higher today than yesterday,
and visitors to the beach will be well
rewarded.
In connection with these high tides
the barometer is acting very strange
ly the last few days, being now about
40 points below its normal condition
1t was 20.7O this morning, betokening
some atmospherical or seismic dis
turbance before long.

SHORTER alaska ROUTE.

JAPAN CABLE.
Scrymser Company Annoyed at Pro-
vision in the Hawaiian Contract Re
quiring Submission of Secretary.

The Pacific cable may go around
Honolulu. A shorter route by way
of Alaska has been figured on. Gen
eral A. S. Hartwell said this morn
ing:
"By the last mail l received some
communication from the company
concerning the cable. General Scrym-
ser writes me that his company is an
noyed at the delay required by the
clause in the Hawaiian contract which
gives the Secretary of State HiX
months in which to signify his APP
proval or disapproval of the contract
He states that he has had some CORES
pondence with Secretary Day on the
matter and had asked him to come to
final conclusion at as early date
as convenient. In the early part of
the year the Secretary had expressed
his disapproval of any contract being
entered into at this end, and it was
in consequence of his doing so that
the condition was inserted in the Ha-
waiian contract requiring the appro-
val of the Secretary of State. | am
now informed that the answer of Sec
retary Day to that communication has
been received, to the effect that ow-
ing to his relationship to Colonel
Spalding he should take no part in
the affair and that he would hand it
over entirely to his assistant, Mr..
Moore. However, | have no doubt
that Secretary Hay will not hesitate
to inform the company of his opinion
on the contract at once.

self of the Hawaiian contract, it con-
templates adopting the shorter Alas
ka route. General Scrymser writes
me that cable with a landing In
Alaska, thence to Japan, connecting
with the established lines to China,
Manila and Australia, could be built
for less than $5,000,000, as against
S12, 100000 via the Hawaiian Islands" d"
The Annexation Commissioners have
intimated to General Hartwell that
they will give him hearing at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning if he has
anything to sdy to them in relation

CIVIL VERSUS MILITARY
ATTORNEY GENERAL SMITH ON
THE SITUATION.
Government Desires to Keep the Exc
cutive Building for Civil Purposes
Only-Cabinet Meeting Today.

Many subjects were discussed at the
Cabinet meeting this morning. among
them being the new steam laundry,
the proposed change i'm the track of
the Oahu railway between town and
Moanalua to avoid the present heavy
grade. the distribution of wine and
beer licenses under the new law. Be.
sides these the Attorney General said
that "A number of minor matters, tag
ends he called them. were disposed Of.
Asked for AN authoritative state
ment on the reported friction between
General Merriam. Colonel Barber and
the government over the disposition
of troops at the government building,
Mr.. Smith said:
There is no friction, nor has there
been any. The matter has been dis
cussed by General Merriam, Colonel
Barber and Minister Cooper. The
military authorities would like to
move one company into the quarters
vacated by Companies + and f of the
National Guard, and the officers would
like to, use the Bungalow as their
headquarters. The government has
objected to this for the reason tilt
it is our earnest desire to keep the
civil and military departments in flu
ture entirely separate. We desire to
reserve the Executive building and
grounds entirely for civil purposes,
and to convert the basement of the
building into the necessary offices as
they may be required. We have pro-
posed that Colonel Barber be given an
Office in the Bungalow and that the
men be quartered in the old bar
racks. We have offered to assist Col
onel Barber in securing any quarters
he may desire, but we are anxious TO
disassociatc the military from the
Executive building and reserve it for
civil offices. There has been no de-
mand or refusal to comply with any
demand, as reported. The matter has
been discussed and a decision has not
vet been reached"

FIGHTING IN PHILIPPINES.
ARMY FOUR In HAND.

Camp Mckinley is now Independent
of the tramway line. An ambulance
with four mules which came down on
the Tacoma, is now making regular
trips from the camp to the center of
town to carry officers and men back
and forth. The mules are in good
condition from their rest and pastur-
age after their sea voyage and they
make good time over King street and
the Waikiki road. This Transports
ton service began today, and is the
regular service of all army posts.
In addition to this through service
another ambulance runs from the
camp to the Kapiolani end of the tram
line connecting with every car. Go
ing back and forth from the camp
and town is now good deal easier
matter for the soldier boys than il
has been.

,. c. JONES 70 RETIRE
CHANGE IN BANK OF HAWAII
PRESIDENCY.
viii Take Place the First of Next
MONTH";. NJ. Cooke to be the New
President.

p. c. Jones is to retire from the
presidency and management of the
Bank of Hawaii. He will be succeed
ed by C. NJ. Cooke.
This change is due to a desire Mr..
Jones has for a long time felt to re-
tire from active business and allow
himself more leisure than the manage
ment of his many important interests
give him.
The change was all canvassed and
agreed on before Mr. Cooke went to
the coast. The time fixed for it to
take place is October 1st. Before that
time Mr.. Cook will return and be rea-
dy to assume the duties. In addition
Mr. Cooke will also take the active
management of c. Brewer & Co.
Mr.. Jones of course retains his in
terest in the Bank of Hawaii, as well
as in the other enterprises with which
he is connected. But he retires from
the active management.
With Mrs. Jones he will sail Octo.
ber 18th for the coast, and will make
an extended tour of the States. They
expect to be gone several months, but
they will consider Honolulu thelI
home.

CHANCE FOR THE REGULARS.
Recruits Wanted for the Regiment of
Volunteer Engineers.

There is chance for some of the
regulars" of the National Guard of
Hawaii in the Second Regiment vol
unteer engineers. Eight men of Com
pany | who have been incapacitated
for service will return on the Coptic
tomorrow to the coast, and the com
pany will be recruited from Honolulu.
It is understood that Captain Draper
will give the preference to members
of the National Guard of Hawaii and
particularly to members of the reg
ulars."
There will be some recruits needed
for some of the other companies, due
to the same cause, and doubtless the
same rule about recruits will prevail,
In the engineer corps second class
privates receive $15.40 month; first
class privates, $1,000: corporals, $24;
and sergeants, $40.S0. Men are en-
listed as second class privates. The
first class are recruited from the Sec
one class. The engineers corps is
generally considered the most desir-
able branch of the service.
