MORE WATER.
Plans for Increased Supply of the Prec.
ious Fluid

A survey has been made and plans
have been got ready for a reservoir at
Diamond head. The work will be push
ed through as rapidly as possible, and
in that direction.
Wells are to be sunk in Palama,
little the Eva side of the Reform
school. A pumping station will be es-
tablished and considerable relief will
be afforded in the matter of water sup
ply. Nothing is more necessary for a
tropical city than an ample supply of
water, not only for drinking, but for
bathing purposes.
The trouble with the Water Works
department, in the past, has been that
more privileges have been sold than
there was water to properly supply,
and the consequence has been that ev-
cry one has been short at times. 1t is
to be hoped that new Improvements
will relieve the frequent scarcity.

TO STORE COAL,

Instructions have been issued from
the Interior department that Andrew
Brown, the Superintendent of the Wa
ter Works, should call for tenders for
coal for the remainder of the biennial
period. 1t has been the custom hither-
to to buy coal for Government pur-
poses in small quantities, the result be-
ing that as high as so 80 a ton has
been paid. The proposal now is to buy
coal in bulk, when it can be obtained
very much more cheaply Some 700 or
800 tons of coal are needed by the Wa
ter Works department, and this will be
stored near the present pumping plant

TIMBERS GIVE AWAY.

The City of Columbia went off the
marine railway last night. Her re-
pairs We're not complete but the
weight of her stern broke the timbers
of the cradle on which they rested
These timbers are great sixteen inch
square pieces but long service in the
salt water has Slapped their strength
They did not snap and splinter but in
giving way drew out in fibres. The
railway was drawn up this morning
and the old timbers will be replaced
by new ones and then the work on
the City of Columbia will be renewed.

WILL NOT BUY KUSAI.

BERLIN, April 24.-It is declared in
diplomatic circles here that there is no
truth in the statement that Germany
has purchased the island of Kusai. of
the Caroline group. 1t is pointed out
that the negotiations between Ger
many and Spain looking to the lat
ter's cessiOn of certain colonies re,
suited in a deadlock some months ago
owing to the fears of the Spanish gov.
eminent that news of the negotiations
would arouse popular feeling to a dan,
gerous point.

MEMOIR ANDA

Purser Fernback of the James Makee
reports good weather on Kauai, except
at Kappa, where the sea was so rough
that landing could not be made.
The hauser by which the Claudine
was towing the ship j. B. Thomas to
Kahului, parted when the two vessels
were off Diamond head. The break was
repaired and the two vessels moved off
toward Maui shortly before midnight.
The Thomas has 10000 bags of sugar
aboard as stiffening. She will complete
her cargo at Kahului and go around
the Horn

The Kangaroos Are on Their Hind
Legs.
While members of the De Leonite
branch of the socialist labor party were
holding forth in horticultural hall yes
terday, the anti-De Leonites were doing
an equally brisk stroke of business.
There was a large meeting on the
common during the afternoon, which
was addressed by Max Kaplin of Bos-
ton, Clarence E. Spellman of Westfield,
and c. K. Hardy of Worcester. The
factional fight was not referred to TO
any extent, the issue being confined
mainly to socialism.
The open air meeting adjourned TO U.
V. L. hall, 531 Main street, and an open
meeting, at which Charles e. Fenner
presided, was conducted until 3 o'clock.
At this hour all persons suspected Of
De Leonite tendencies were excluded
from the hall, and the kangaroos went
into executive session. At the close Of
the meeting it was announced that
there was nothing to give out, and the
delegation repaired to the Sherwood
house, where most of the kangaroo del
egates are stopping, to fix a slate and
platform.
The kangaroos set up a claim that
they will do all sorts of things with
their opponents in today's convention.
If the kangaroos can gain control OF the
committee ON credentials, it is claims
that many delegates outside Worcester
who are pledged to the De Leon cause,
will be excluded from the convention.
1t is alleged that the Chelsea and Lynn
caucuses were illegal, and that many
delegates from these cities reside in
Boston

DETAILS OF FIGHT.
American Jackies
Capture Krupp
Battery.
ONE MAN, ONLY, WOUNDED.
Bombardment Followed by
Rapidly Executed Land
ing Party.

Manila, Sept 24.-The United States
cruiser Charleston, the monitor Monte
rey and the gunboats Concord and Ia
fro. with marines and blue jackets
from the cruiser Baltimore, left Cavite
Sept. 49, and. as already cabled, pro-
ceeded to Subig Bay to destroy an in
surgent camp there. Owing to the bad
weather. the operation was postponed
until yesterday, when they bombarded
the town of Olangapo and the en-
trenchments where the gun was stu
ated
Men from the Charleston, Concord
and Zafiro were then landed under a
heavy insurgent fire, proceeding to the
cannon. which was utterly destroyed,
and returning to the warships. The
Americans had one man wounded dur
ing the engagement.
AT $40 a. M. yesterday, the Monterey
began an advance upon the town,
which was about three miles east of
the monitors anchorage. The Charles
ton, Concord and Zafiro followed. At
7.25 the Monterey opened fire with her
secondary and main batteries, the
Charleston and Concord joining imme-
diately. AT 7.9S the insurgent cannon
answered, the first shot passing close
to the Montereys smokestack. At $50
the Monterey advanced to a range of
600 yards, using her main battery. Two
hundred and fifty men were landed,
about 800 yards east Of the cannon, at
II o'clock. under a severe shore Mauser
fire. The men from the Charleston
were the first to reach the beach, but
the Concord's men were the first at the
gun, which they reached at lilo. The
cannon was a Krupp gun, presumably
obtained from the Standards.
The warships continued to shell the
shelving beach on the east and west
sides to silence the insurgent fire upon
the sailors from the trenches skirting
the beach. Gunner Olsen exploded so
rounds of gun cotton, in three dis
charges in the cannon, which had suf-
fered from the fire. The Americans
then returned to the boats, firing in
land being kept up to protect the en-
barkation The Concord's men were
the last to leave the shore, and the
warships were reached at 1880 p. m.
Cadet Brinser. with the Concord S
launch, armed with gattling, did ex-
cellent work on the left of the land
ing party. Capt. Myers of the ma
rines captured a Misunderstanding field
piece. Lieut.. Mcdonald was in COM
mand of the landing party, and the
movement was splendidly executed and
controlled.
The numbers of the Filipinos there
could not be ascertained, and no dead
We're seen. The Monterey fired fol
four hours-21 shots from her ten-inct
guns, and II from her Pinch guns
The town, which was riddled with
shells, took fire at several points.
