sPArx,s OFFER TO THE ouBANs.
Proposes to Hold the Island Merely
Under a Protectorate.

Madrid April IS, $3.50 p. m.-Government-
al and diplomatic circles are anxiously ex-
pecting developments at Washington
whence no definite information has been
received to-day.
The cabinet council Is sitting to discuss
the text of the speech from the Spanish
throne, TO elect number OF life senator's
and to settle other parliamentary details
for the forthcoming session.
The town is tranquil. All circles are
exercised intensely in expectation OF the
result Of the visit to the insurgent camp
of the commissioners of the insular gov
ernment. By most people this mission is
considered forlorn hope, and the general
public anticipate the worst.
1t Is asserted, on good authority, that
the mission TO the insurgent camp is linn
tied TO an offer to the insurgent chiefs to
recognize their present grades in the fu-
ture insuar army, after the withdrawal
of the Spanish forces from Cuba, (which
will remain under the protectorate of
Spain, with a governor, and the governor
preferentially a civilian"
II is said that the parliament, about to
assemble, will sanction this arrangement.

CALL FoR VOLUNTEERS.
BjJI TO BE Rushed Through Author
fling One for 10000 Men.

izIng One for 10000 Men.
Washington, April 1&-Representative
Hull, chairman OF the military affairs
committee, will tomorrow introduce a bill
authorizing the President to issue a cali
for volunteers to the number Of 60000 or
1900 men.
1t will be considered at once by the conn
mittee, It's passage expedited as rapidly
as possible, and will take effect immedi-
ately upon the Presidents approval. Its
terms will authorize the President TO call
on the various states for quotas in making
up the aggregate.
BY reading in this way instead OF spe-
cifically looking to the calling out of the
various state militia. 1t will avoid several
embarrassing technlcalities, main one
being the constitutional inhibition on
sending state militia out Of the country,
while volunteers so called for can be or
dered anywhere.
It is likely that If the situation devel-
ops into such grave proportions as Is now
expected a second call for 10000 volun-
teers will be issued by the President. The
necessity for this immense number, how
ever, is not clear to the military authori-
ties at this time.
The draft OF the present measure has
lust been framed by the war department
officials and the leading members OF the
military committee have already con-
ferred with the war department authorities
on the necessity on this line, the latter
having announced that maximum Of 80 =
900 volunteers would be sufficient at this
time.

ALL BEER and Sk|TTLES
WAIKIKI RESORTS SEARCHED BY
POLICE.
Quantity of Liquor Confiscated-Five
Arrests Made-The Law Under
Which the Police Acted.

A number of Waikiki resorts were
raided by posse of police yesterday,
acting under search warrants, and
large quantities of liquors confiscat
ed. Greek John, the steward at Sans
Souci, was arrested and charged with
selling liquor without a license.
At Sans Souci, full barrels of beer,
8 partly empty and 1 case were capt
ured, also about gallons of whiskey,
. of brandy, of vermouth, of cler-
ct, Is of cider, "a of white wine, "a of
champagne and of gin, all of vari-
Gus brands.
At Wrights place, S5 bottles of beer
only was found.
At Sherwood's resort a beer barrel
full of every kind of liquor in bottles
was confscated and at Patterson's two
boxes of beer unopened were taken.
The law under which the police are
acting is found in Section ABS of the
Penal Code, which says:
"Any district magistrate, the mar
shal, his deputy, or any sheriff, depu-
ty sheriff or constable, may, without
warrant. seize and take away all such
spirtuous liquor as he shall have rea-
sonable cause to suspect is carried
about for sale or to be exposed or Of
fered for sale in any highway or foot
path, or in any booth, tent, store, or
shed, or in any other place, whatever,
by any person not licensed to sell the
same, and all vessels and utensils used
for containing, drinking or measur-
ing the same. And such magistrate
on proof of such offense may convict
any person SO offending and may
thereupon sentence such offender to
pay a fine of not more than $3.50 nor
less than $50, and to imprisonment
at hard labor for any term not more
than six months and not less than
one month, and one-half of the fine
shall be paid to the party who gave
the Information which led to such
coviction. and such magistrate shall
upon such conviction adiudge such
spirituous liquor, and the vessels and
utensils used for containing, drinking
or measuring the same, to be forfeit
ed, and may direct the same to be sold
on account of the Hawaiian govern
ment. Provided. however, that in all
cases where such liquor is seized
while being carried on the way from
one place to another, the burden of
proving that such liquor was not car
ried for sale or to be exposed or Of
fered for sale, shall be upon the per-
son or persons owning or claiming the
same"
Early this morning warrants of ar
rest were issued against George Ly-
curgus, Thomas Wright, James Sher-
| wood and Isaac Patterson, on charges
of selling liquor without a license
based, it is said, on evidence obtained
by the police on Saturday evening.
In the police court this morning the
cases against Lycurgus and his stew.
ard, Wright and Sherwood, went over
to the Goth. Patterson plead guilty
and was fined 800 and costs which
was paid.

DESTRUCTION OF A VALUABLE
INSTITUTION.
Cause of Fire Unknown-Star in
the Attics, Where the Girls Slept
Very Little Property Saved.

Mauna Ala, or East Maui seminary,
has been burned. The Star has receiv-
ed two messages, telephoned to La
haina upon the event. Both these mes
sages say that the whole set of build
ings has been destroyed, though Off
GERS on the steamer say this is incor-
rect 1t seems however very unlikely
that anything could be saved as the
waster supply is small and the build
ings were all in a bunch.
The Stars correspondent telephon-
ing from Makawao, says:
The fire began a little after 6
O'Clock, and the whole lot of buildings
were in ashes inside of an hour. The
fire, it is said, began i'm the attic and
no one knows yet just when or how
the fire was started. All the girls got
out safely with a few of their belong
ings, and of school furniture only the
new piano was saved. The fire lit up
the whole country surrounding and
even Haleakala, casting a golden hue
over everything. 1t was a glorious
sight, but a terrible one"
The East Maui seminary has for fif.
ty years been prominent in the educa.
ton of young Hawaiian girls. Start.
ing from small beginnings under the
missionary family of the Greens, il
has gradually grown into an almost
national institution. Through the in.
terest taken in it by local people fine
buildings were erected, and the most
modern appliances >in schoolroom fit
tings were supplied. The girls receiv.
ed industrial training in sewing, in
cooking, washing, ironing and domes.
tic work. For all this there were spe.
cial rooms set apart with proper ap.
plances. Girls from all parts of the
Islands went to the seminary and the
attendance was not confined to Ha.
waiians only. for American girls
Portuguese and Chinese have received
| their education there.
