KamGhanGha Anniversary Usual
Observance.
FINE CARD Is OFFERED
Fleet Runners and PAGERS - The
CoIors-Begins at 10 a. m.

This is the anniversary of the birth
of the Great Kamehameha and the
major celebration is the usual pro-
gram of horse racing. The sport will
be at KapiOlani park track under
the direction of the Hawaiian Jockey
Club. There is the best field of start
ers for many years as to timber and
numbers. The events are many and
will be closely contested. There are
a lot of good runners to compete in
that class. There has been imported
within the past six months such har-
ness horses as in the States start for
only much higher prizes than offered
here. All track sul1y records will be
broken. The track, by the way, is now
quite up to date. 1t has been very
much improved since the last meet
ing.
AS this is a general holiday the at
tendance at the park is certain to
be very large. Following is the COM
plete program of the Jockey Club
with all details:

Orleans kept up a terrific fire against
the forts for two hours and their pro
jectiles. of enormous size, did tremen-
dous damage to the defenses of the
harbor. The masonry of Socapa and
MORO was battered almost into dust
and the forms of the Spanish artillery
men and infantry could plainly be
seen flying TO safety behind the neigh
boring hill.
The auxiliary cruiser which joined
Schley's fleet just before the battle
took place was hit by shells from the
forts and it is thought was seriously
damaged.
After seeking the protection of a
jutting headland the Spanish warships
continued to fire projectiles over the
hills toward the fleet, but they had
no range, not even direction, to their
shots and shells, which fell harmlessIy
into the sea.
That the number of killed and
wounded on the Spanish side is
again the American shells hit the
batteries squarely and amid the flying
masonry and dismantled guns the
forms of men were seen.
The damage to the American fleet
cannot be learned, but it is not thought
any persons were killed, if indeed any
were wounded.

to indicate that the troops to enforce

1t is rumored today that troops from

States would be ordered to San Fran

whether these reports were correct.

MAY HAVE BEEN A FIGHT
PERSISTENT RUMORS OF THE
DEFEAT OF THE SPANIARDS.

The morning papers are full of uncon-
firmed reports of big naval battle in
windward passage, between Cuba and
Hayti, in which the entire Spanish fleet
was destroyed and two American vessels
disabled. Such reports come by way of
London, but are not verified. 1t really
seems probable, however, that battle
has occurred, although no particulars
can be definitely given, and it may even
turn out that the whole news is without
authenticity.
Another report is that Sampson and
Schley have the Spanish feet bottled
at Santiago. At any event, if battle
has not taken place, one is doubtless inn
minent.
Reports to Adit Gen. Corbin show
that $4,000 men have already been mus
tered into the volunteer army.
1t is said Gen. Merritt's instructions
are to place the Philippines under mar.
tial law at once on his arrival there.
The true northerner., 1898-05-25

After the communication was received,
the council directed the president to call
a public meeting of citizens to consider
the matter of water supply for fire pro-
lection. and such meeting will be held at
the court house, Monday evening, May
80, at 1870. Some taxpayers are conf
dent that the time has arrived to put in
waterworks, and they profess to believe
that a sufficient sentiment will be devel-
oped Monday evening to warrant steps
in that direction. At any rate, it is prob
able the meeting will be lively and in
teresting one.
Aside from considering the above com
munication the council transacted the
following business:
Sidewalks ordered-On the west side
of Niles street in front of Crane and
Beebe properties, of cement on Berrien
street from La Grave to Van Buren, of
gravel.
Graveling ordered-La Grave street,
from Oak to Elm; ST. Joseph street, from
Brown to Van Buren,; Niles street, from
Elm to North.
Claims were allowed to the amount of
S195SS.

1t is estimated that the wealth of the
United States now exceeds the wealth of
the whole world at any period prior to
the middle of the eighteenth century,
and it is still increasing through devel-
opment. We shall soon be too proud to
speak to Spain. For the balance of the
season f. Smith Il Co. will hitch bigger
load to your dollar than it ever drew be-
fore A mighty stock of pants has just
been received, and the prices will blush
at their cheapness.

ITO the President and Trustees of the
Village of Paw Paw:
"Gentlemen:-Th time for which the
village of Paw Paw leased and contracted
for the use of water from the race of
the Paw Paw mills, to supply the reser-
voirs of said village for fire purposes,
having long since expired, said lease hav-
ing been entered into on the Oath day of
November, 1885, to relate back and take
effect on the first day of July next pre-
ceding between Charles S. Maynard as
president, and r. NJ Buck as recorder of

and race or water supply, which contract
provided that said village should have

poses aforesaid, up to the first day of

National Bank of Paw Paw and George
w. Longwell Sr., having come into the
possession and being the owners of said
mills and said race and water supply to
said mills: and the undersigned having
given the said village notice thereof one
year ago last April, and having at that
time also notified the said village that in
the future if it continued to use water
from said race for fire purposes as there
tofore, it would have to pay for such
privilege the sum of 800 per annum,
which amount will fall due on the first
day of July next, and which is not hereby
| intended to be waived or released:
"Now, therefore, you are hereby mott
| fed that the current year for the use and
supply of water from said race will expire
under the sutferance of the undersigned
and their predecessors in the ownership
and control of said mills and race privi-
leges on the first day of July next. You
are further notified that the privilege of
said village to further use and receive
supply of water from said race for fire or
other purposes, will terminate on said
first day of July, and at that time you
will take up your pipes and other con-
nectons with said race and cease and
desst from further use of water from
said race for the purposes aforesaid, un-
less new and further contract or lease
is entered into for the use of such water
by the said village, between the under
signed and the proper officers of said vii
lage, on or before the first day of July
next, it being the intention of the under
signed to insist on the payment to them
by the said village of the sum of 800 for
the current year ending July first next,
and it being the intention of the under
signed unless the said sum is paid and a
new arrangement entered into as afore-
said suggested, to reassert its right to
the entire control of the said race and
the water confined and flowing therein,
and to exclude the said village from the
use of any water from said race from
and after the said first day of July next.

When the Uncas left here two weeks

proceeded TO Cay Confiles, near Caibarien,
where she put her little Cuban party

NEWS FROM THE FLEET.
Few Men Sick, But the Inaction Is
Demoralizing.

Guantanamo Bay, Aug. 9.-The st.
Paul has arrived here from Porto RICO
and proceeds to Santiago in order to
embark troops. The ST. Louis sailed
for Santiago this morning.
Both the st. Paul and the st. Louis
will embark the troops outside the har-
Dor entrance, being too long to enter
the harbor proper. Captain Clark, for
ing north on the St. Paul, owing to
bad health. Captain Barker, formerly
Of the Newark, commands the Oregon,
and Captain Goodrich, formerly of the
st. Louis, commands the Newark. The
latter, with the Detroit, Suanee and
Scorpion, accompany the Resolute to
the Isle of Pines.
a speedy conclusion of the peace ne
gotations, one way or the other, is
earnestly hoped for throughout the
fleet, as the state of inaction and sus
pense is trying to officers and men,
though the health and discipline of the
naval forces are good. There are only
lie men on the sick list ont of $500 men
IN the ships in this harbor, and none
of the cases are serious.
Chief Engineer Mcconnell, the fleet
engineer of the flagship New York,
goes north in a day or so, on sick
leave. He has been suffering from
rheumatism almost since the war be-
gan, but has stuck to his duty. The
doctors, however, now positively order
him home. The splendid work done by
the New York's engines, not a single
breakdown being recorded, is greatly
due TO Chief Engineer Mcconnell.
