War Talk.

People should not take too seri-
 ousy.the lurid and sensationally dis
 played accounts in the metropolitan
 daily press of an approaching con
 aiet with Spain over the Maine dis
 aster. Readers generally will do
 well to take Capt. Sigbee's advice
 and await the official report of the
 board of inquiry. So far the board has given out nothing either official l ly or privately, and the administra-
 tion declares that it is as much in
 the dark at present relative to the cause of the disaster of the Maine as on the day following the explosion.
 And perhaps the real cause of the explosion may be never known. Ac- cording to a reliable newspaper cor respondent at Havana, Naval au-
 thorities and divers, who have no special interest, say tbat the hull of
 the Maine must be raised and clean ed before it will be possible to tell the nature of the explosion as to
 the point of showing that the ex- plosive force came from within or .from without the hull Indeed, it looks today as if the mystery may never be explained, because the work of raising the hull may be an engineering feat that will be impos- sible of accomplishment It is @ hard thing to hazard positive expla- nation when the decision involves the navy service and discipline along with international relations The divers have worked under the greatest difficulty. They go down, carrying an electric lantern, and the assistance given by these lam terms is very unsatisfactory. The water in the bay here is affected somewhat by sluggishness and is exceedingly murky. These condi- tions make it impossible for the div CTS to ascertain now the exact na- ture of the wreck. All they know with certainty is that the iron ma terial in the ship has been torn and twisted as if t was of paper, show ing the terrific force of the explo- sion. It was not thought possible previous to the loss of the Maine that powder or dynamite or nitro could do so much destruc- tion.
 All of this "war talk that we hear and read in advance of the off cial report of the board of inquiry, is, therefore, dnfounded, for the board andAll who are examined be- fore. t are sworn to secrecy. Until this report is made, nothing definite can be known. All reports to the contrary are the creations of the yellow and sensational journals, put into print for the purpose of selling papers.
 There will be no war, at least for 3 period. In the meantime let the people possess their souls in peace and Datianoa

A Nice Wet March.

Colonel Fisher paraded the First Re
giment, n. G. H., last evening in honor
OF the Military Committees of the Sen
ate and House of the Legislature now
sitting. A dress parade and review
WIS given at the Makiki baseball
grounds Minister Cooper was in at
tendance. All the spectators were
warm in praise of the appearance of the
force and the evidences of careful
training. Each company of the two
battalions paraded sixteen-file front.
Frequent showers made the evening
rather unpleasant for a march, but
there was no grumbling. At the Drill
Shed upon return, Colonel Fisher COM
plimented the men on the turnout and
conveyed TO them the thanks of the
Minister and Legislative party.

CHARTER READY.
Five Cent Fare In Franchise of
Rapid Transit Co.

At meeting which lasted till quite
a late hour last night, the attorneys
and temporary directors of the new
Honolulu Rapid Transit Co., Ltd, COM
pleted the draft of the charter for
which application will be made.
The company proposes to begin with
in one year from the time leave is
granted, the construction of a first
class, well equipped, modern electric
street railway system, with the right
to use compressed air or some other
newly discovered power later. The
company will agree to complete and
have in operation in three years, fifteen
miles of track or line, covering terri
tory described in the franchise and
heretofore mentioned in this paper.
1t is stipulated in the franchise that
the fare shall not on any line of the
Honolulu Rapid Transit Co., Ltd, ex-
ceed five cents and that school children
shall be carried for half fare. One
nickel would thus serve to pay the
passage of an adult from Moanalua to
Kapiolani park.

An EXPLOSION.

The Government qrarries at Kamo-
iliili was the scene of an accident at
about L p. m. yesterday afternoon and
Allan Clarke was the unfortunate vic
tim. 1t was just as work was being
begun again for the afternoon when
the accident happened. Mr.. Clarke
was engaged in rebabbiting one of the
boxes of the stationary engine used at
that place. Suddenly there was an
explosion and the box was blown up.
The metal flew into Mr.. Clarke's face
and burned him badly about the upper
lip and also in the region of the eyes.
He was transferred to his room at the
home of Mr.. Fogarty on Beretania
street where he was attended to by
Dr. Howard. Although the injuries
by burning are very painful they are
not at all dangerous as the story that
was spread about the streets had it,
and Mr. Clarke will be about again
in few days.

HAWAIIAN REGISTRY.
Amendment to Present Law Pro.
posed By Executive.

In the Senate yesterday, Minister
Cooper introduced a new bill in the
Shape of an amendment to existing

months since.
Two sections are proposed to take
the place of the present sections of the
same numbers, as follows:
Section $50. No vessel shall be en-
titled to be registered as vessel of
the Republic of Hawaii or to be deem
ed an Hawaiian vessel or entitled to
the privileges appertaining thereto un-
less said vessel shall be wholly owned

or by an Hawaiian Corporation, the
capital stock of which is wholly owned
by citizens Of the Republic.
Section 631. Upon a written appli-
cation being made to the Collector
General of Customs, pursuant to the
terms of the last preceding section
which shall include the oath OF the
owner of the vessel sought to be re-
gistered and in case the vessel is owned
by an Hawaiian Corporation, the oatf
of the President, Secretary, or Treasur'
er thereof setting forth the name ant

same is domestic or foreign built and i
| foreign built, how acquired, that the
affiant is a citizen of the Republic

! flying his name and place of abode anC
| that he is a citizen Of the Republic

| officer of corporation, that such cor
poration is Incorporated under th'
laws of the Republic, and that the ca
pital stock thereof is wholly owned b.

just Frightened.

There were three pretty badly
frightened men on the China, Satur-
day night. They climbed aboard that
steamer before she was fairly along
side and upon arrival ON deck, were
informed that they would have to go
to the quarantine station for the reg
ular length of time. For fully an hour
and half they remained on board,
expecting every minute to be take over
on the island. Finally they were al
lowed to go. Hereafter they intend
to await the lowering of the gangway
and find out before hand if they can
go aboard

NO MEASLES HERE.
Quarantine Is ClearACase Was a
China Sailor.

A number of officers and membe
of the Board of Health supposed Oh
Sunday that the case of measles aboard
the S. S. China was taken to the quar-
antine station here, accepting it as
granted that the sick man was one
of the contract laborers for planta-
ton. This was mistake. One pro-
minent officer telephoned to the Island
in the harbor yesterday morning and
learned that the case of measles was
still aboard the steamer. The sick
man was a member of the crew of the
steamer. There is no illness of any
sort III quarantine here. All Of yester-
day was occupied by King McVeigh
and his men in fumigating the effects
Of the laborers and having the men
and women take baths.
1t is recorded in histories of the ISL
ands that measles caused the death
of ten per cent of the population here
in 184S. The natives instead of keep
ing warm, took baths in cold water,
drove the fever in and perished
quickly. In late years the mortality
with measles has amounted to very
