CARRIED AWAY At NIGHT
THE THEODOR LOSES MASTS IN
A STORM.
She Puts Into Port Here in Distress
Bound for San Francisco Direct from
London.

The German bark Theodor. Captain
Arfmann, put into port in distress this
morning. She had been 1870 days at sea,
bound for San Francisco from London.
Twenty days ago, she encounter
ed a storm that broke her foretop mast
and sent her foretop gallant mast
crashing through the deck. The cap
tain at once directed the vessels
course toward Honolulu, the nearest
port and he arrived outside the harbor
at about S o'clock this morning. In
spite of the heavy seas she encounter
ed and the damage she sustained the
Theodors distress" is not very ap-
parent and some surprise was express
ed by shippers along the front that
she should have turned out of her
course to San Francisco.
The Theodor is a four-masted bark
and was formerly the Cunard lire
steamship China. She is all iron and
is capable of making good speed. but
is an old Vessel. Her tonnage is 2440.
She left London on March 29th with a
general cargo consigned to Balfour
Guthrie x Company, San Francisco.
The voyage was without incident till
the fourth of this month. when a very
severe blow and heavy rains were en-
countered during the night. The vessel
shipped heavy seas and suddenly her
top gallant mast broke with a crash
and tumbled to the deck. breaking
through two planks. The ships car
penter was standing within two feet
of where the mast fell and had a mar.
row escape from death. All sails on the
foremast We're carried away, two yard
arms We're lost and the other yards
were broken or loosened. When day
light came Captain Arfmann found his
vessel seriously crippled the foremast
being useless, as all the yards were
loose. The cargo was not damaged and
| the bark was able to go ahead with Its
three masts, though not making very
good time The accident occurred at
about the 120th parallel. about due
west from Honolulu.
The Theodor was towed into the
harbor by the Eleu, and lies anchored
near Quarantine island. Captain ART
mann intends to stay here until he
secures new masts and yard arms

A SHIPMENT FROM TEXAS FOR
KAUAI
One Hundred and Six Imported at
High Expense as Substitutes for
Mich Cows.

The bark Ceylon. Captain willer,
with 106 goats aboard, arrived in port
last night after a slow and very calm
trip from San Francisco. In addition
to the goats, Captain Willer had on
deck a large quantity of pipes, $50
boilers and 10000 feet of lumber, max
ing an unusually bulky deck load.
The goats are consigned to the Ho-
nolulu Stock Yards, seventy of them
being destined for Kauai. They were
transferred from the Ceylon to the
steamer James Makee this morning
and started for their destination, which
is the stock ranch of w. II. Rice
The goats are from Texas and are
pure blooded animals. They were
shipped here at an expense of over 81
each, but it is thought that they will
prove a paying investment in spite of
the fact that there are thousands of
goats to be had here at less than the
cost of transporting the new arrivals.
They will furnish about four quarts of
milk a day and the milk Is q good deal
more rich than that of COWS. The cost
of keeping them is much less than
that of COWS and many plantation lab
orers who could not afford to keep a

a tendency to go aloft goats are the

carried. 1t was necessary to put COW
ers on their stalls.

STATUS OF PUBLIC LANDS
OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE
SITUATION.
Sales of Land and Leases are Being
United States Government.

Yesterdays mail brought a rumor
from Washington to the effect that
Attorney-General Griggs holds that
the Hawaiian Government has no right
to dispose of any part of the public
lands and that Mckinley will shortly
instruct President Dole to cancel all
leases made since annexation and re-
turn the money received thereon.
The announcement created no little
annoyance about town to persons who
have purchased, leased or exchanged
property in the past twelve months.
Among the number of properties ap-
parently effected are a number of Es-
planade lots, purchased by Hackfeld &
Company, +. q. Hall & Son and others
the lease of the Brewer lot on Queen
street upon which a fine building has
been erected; lots exchanged in the
street widening program; numerous
lots at Waikiki and on the other ISL
ands
AS matter of fact there appears to
be absolutely no truth in the report
and no excuse for it's circulation.
From one of the highest authorities
in the land the following statement
was this morning secured:
Immediately following annexation
the Hawaiian Government submitted
to President Mckinley a request for
instructions on a number of points up
on which there seemed a doubt here.
While there was hardly doubt as the
construction of the Newland's resolu-
ton on the question of public lands,
this matter was submitted with the
others.
The questions We're considered by
President Mckinley and his Cabinet
and the local government was advised
positively and finally on the matters in
regard to which information was de-
sirable.
with respect to public lands the
Hawaiian Government was instructed
to proceed precisely as before, in max
ing sales. leases or transfers, under
Hawaiian laws.
This course has since been followed
| by the Hawaiian Government. In u
recent letter respecting the claim OF
| squatters at Olaa the new secretary
of state showed plainly that he did
not know of the ruling and instructions
of last autumn. In reply the Hawai-.
ian Government merely called atten-
| ton to it's instructions, which, of
course, settles the matter.
THE suggestion or assumption thai
the Hawaiian Government will be
called upon to repudiate it's contracts
of leases and sales is absurd on tht
| face of it, as will plainly be seen
| Aside from a construction of the New
| lands resolution. which seems clearly
| on the side of the course pursued, tn,
| Government has acted in every partt
cular upon the instructions of the Gov
ernment of the United States"

An effort will be made to have Ha-
waiian exhibit at the Paris Exposition
next year. Whether it will be a sep
arate display or will go in with the
American exhibit as the showing of one
of the territories has not yet been de-
termined. Many people feel that a dis

tract more attention and do more good I;
while Others feel that now the couu-
try is "a part of the United States its
exhibit should go in the same way and
on the same footing as those of other
States and territories
Mr.. Potter, head of the American eX-
hibit, has already extended an invita-

vitation has come indirectly. but the
assurance is bona fide that the Terri
tory will be welcome. The arrange
ment of the school part of the exhibit
has been carried on with the idea of
its becoming part of the big United
Show at the Exposition.
At the Cabinet meeting tomorrow
morning the subject of the exhibit and

result in some definite conclusion as to

at all. 1t is desirable to have the mat

McKINLEY's PROCLAMATION.
In Line With Instructions Sent Here
Months Ago.

President Dole states that the action
of President Mckinley IN forbidding
the registration of foreign built vessels
under the Hawaiian flag was undoubt-
edly taken to suspend the pressure
that has for some time been brought
to bear upon the collector of customs
by ship owners for registration and
the flag. Four cases to that end are
now before the courts and have been
contested by the Hawaiian govern
ment.
1t appears. that nearly a year ago
the local government wrote President
Mckinley of the local situation in re-
gard to shipping and registration, and
asked instructions as to how to pro-
ceed. Since that time" said Presi-
dent Dole, I'VE have been acting upon
the instructions of President Mckinley
in refusing registration and in contest
ing registration matters in the courts.
The proclamation of the President
relieves the customs department OF a
great deal of annoyance and ia a
source of qualification to the govern
ment, as it is the one means of settling
the matter.
