A Scared Official.

l.. D. Keliipio, fish Inspector and
member OF the Board OF Health, is
feeling uneasy, and he has invoked
the protection Of the mighty hand
OF the law of Dole's republic.
Somebody had told some friends
OF his who told him that Naval, a
Mauian, was going to make "ish"
OF Mr.. Keliipio and his fair wife
who, at one time, was the jewel in
the domestic crown OF Mr.. Naval.
The burly gentleman who counts
the fish at the market, had Naval
arrested and charged with using
threatening language, and asked the
Court to have him put under bonds
to keep the peace.
Ancient history was produced to
show that the new Mrs. Keliipio had
been shot at one time with revolv-
or iu the hand Of her (then) beloved
husband Naval, Also that in days
gone by 10 the old city OF Wailuku
she had been shot by jealous

matter We doubt that the Govern
ment under our very defective laws
has any power to hold an "inquest"
as only the ship is dead. The under
writers have no interest in the mat
ter as the steamer was not insured.
The only way to get at the truth
would be for some OF the crew to
bring a suit for damages against the
owners, and thereby cause the whole
story OF the ship and the wreck to
be to told in open Court.

We are pleased to see that the good
people of Lahaina are earnestly agi-
tating for proper water supply
and that the agents OF the Board
Of Health have recommended the
immediate establishment III proper
waterworks for the ancient capital.
There is not a place in the leland
where the water used for drinking
purposes is in such unhealthy condi-
ton as in Lahaina. That the SAM
tary conditions are consequently
very bad is natural. Unfortunately
the Lahaina people will most likely
be told to hoomanawanui-no funds
and they will have to drink brother
McCann's delicious whiskey and re-
freshing beer until the Government
sees fit to furnish pure water Would
the taxpayers OF Lahaina rather
have their contributions to the pub
lie treasury used for water works
or for another junketing expedition
OF some needy Honolulu politician
to Washington?

Otis
Madrid, January 11.-General Rios,
the Spanish commander, cables from
Manila reiterating the assertion that
the situation of affairs in the Philippine
islands is most grave. The rebels, 1t
appears, are concentrating in the neigh
borhood of Manila, with the intention
of attacking that place. Great prepa-
rations are being made for the defense
of the city. The Spanish general also
asserts that the natives of the Visayas
have again refused TO permit the Amer
leans to land, threatening to resist by
force if an attempt is made to do so.
The Americans, therefore, according TO
General Rios, have abandoned the idea
of disembarking and he confirms pre-
vious statement to the effect that they
are unwilling to lombard Iloilo be
cause the European houses are stocked
with petroleum, with the view Of be-
ing set alight by the American shells. :"
General Rios also alleges that the
rebels are determined to fight the

from the United States. In conclusion

| nation has produced enthusiasm
among the rebels.

When inquiry was made relative to a

and in conformity with the president s

as to whether it does not constitute q
