WRECK ON kOHALA COAST.
THREE MASTED SCHOONER HAS
DRIFTED ASHORE.
At Least One Dead Body Found on Her
Sea.

The Upolu brings news that the
wreck of an unknown three masted
schooner had drifted on to the Kohala
coast
The indications We're that she had
foundered at sea and drifted in. She
now lies nearly submerged on the
rocks at the foot of a low pali
She was discovered on Monday by
some natives who were going along the
foot of the pail fishing The matter
was reported to the authorities and a
native was sent out to make an inves-
tigatiOn. He swan all around the
broken pieces of wreCkage and diVed
down through one of the open hatches
He found the dead body Of man.
This scared him so that he would not
attempt any thing further in the way
of investigation nor could any of the
other natives be persuaded to go out
to the wreck.
The police authorities were to hold
an inquiry on the body that was dis
covered, on Tuesday, if ii could be re-
covered
When the Upolu left there had been
nothing found that would indicate
what schooner it was or how it came
to be wrecked. But information was
very disconnected because the wreck
is at an isolated place on the coast and
it was with difficulty that men could
be secured to go out to the wreCkage.
1t is not known when the wreck drift
ed in and it may have been there some
time before it was discovered

SPAN|ARDS MAKE TROUBLE.
CREATE MUTUAL DISTRUST IN
THE PHILIPPINES.
Seek to Complicate Matters Between
Americans and Filipinos-Fred A.
Healy Discusses the Situation.

Fred A. Healy, who has distinguish
ed himself among the newspaper cor
respondents in the ranks of the enlist
ed men by his bright and capable cor
respondence for the San Francisco Call
from Manila, is passenger on the
Coptic.
Mr.. Healy enlisted with the First
California and thus has seen as Lluch
of the military operations in the Phil
ippines as any one. Speaking Of con-
dtons there he says: There is prac-
tically little change in conditions since
last September. General Otis has or
dcrs from Washington to do every
thing possible to avoid a conflict with
the Filipinos until after Congress has
taken action.
The Filipinos feel that they have
been lighting for years for independ-
enCe: that the Aemricans came there
ostensibly to free them from Spanish
tyranny; that they have done the Ame-
riCans good service as allies, and that
now if they are simply to have one
master exchanged for another they
will fight
"They want independence or 1T least
the assurance that they will have a
real part in their own government. The
Americans occupy Manila and the Fill
pino troops are all around the city.
Manila is filled with eX-Spanish Off
| GERS ana spanish priests VINO are worse
in their meddlesOmeneSS than the Off
GERS. Every change of quarters among
the American troops in the city and eV-
cry movement they make, is reported
by these officers and priests to the FL
lipinos as a mobilization of forces
against them. This leads the Filipiuos
! to activity and mobilization, and this
| in turn is reported by these same mis-
chief makers as an insurgent demon
| stration against the United States. In
! this way a continual feeling of mis-
| trust is kept up. If the Americans
would simply eXpel these mischief ma
| kers and treat directly with the Fill
| pinos in good faith, 1 think there would
! be little difficulty in reaching mutu-
| al and amicable understanding.
THE American troops were sent to
| Iloilo with orders to occupy the city II
! the Spaniards were in possession, but
| not to land if the insurgents were in
| possession. The Spaniards, partly per
haps because they We're tired of the
siege, and partly perhaps to Complicat=
matters for the Americans, evacuated
the city before the American troops
arrived and went to Manila and sur
rendered to General Otis. They are
on board their transports in Manilt
bay now, floating around aimlessly
THE Spaniards are doing everything
in their power to create distrust anC
| add complications"

SCRYMSER IS HOPEFUL
CABLE MAGNATE ARRIVES BY
THE COPTIC.
Has a Conference with General Hart
well About Hawaiian Gable Matters
Everything Awaits Congress.

]. A. Scrymser of the Pacific Cable
Company, the man who is seeking an
opportunity to lay a cable to these Is
lands, arrived on the Coptic this morn
ing. He early had a conference with
General Hartwell, the local represen-
tative of the cable company, and then
with Mrs. SCrymser and Miss Minturn
and Miss Delafield who are travelling
with Mr.. and Mrs. SCrymser he took
a carriage drive to the Pail and other
points of interest
Mr.. Scrymser has been in the Orient
for several months in connection with
submarine cable matters as he is at
the head of corporations which control
and operate more cables than any 9TH
er interest does.
He speaks hopefully of the Hawaiian
cable prospects, but says that there is
absolutely nothing that can be done
until Congress acts in the matter. The
interests he represents stand ready to
lay trans Pacific cable touching at
these Islands the moment they can get
the right to do it on reasonable terms.
What he considers reasonable terms
are terms similar to those outlined in
the bin passed last winter by the Ha-
waiian Legislature, and contained in
the bill that was before Congress at
Its last session.
Mr.. Scrymser is a fine looking man
of magnificent carriage, with white
hair and beard. Miss Minturn who ac-
companies Mr.. and Mrs. SCrymser, is
a writer Of note, and both she and
Miss Delafeld are members of New
York's most exclusive society.

BRINGS LOTS OF NOTABIES
THE COPTIC MAKES A RECORD
BREAKING TRIP.
Has a Western Breeze all the Way
Among Her Passengers are Many
That Fought With Dewey.

The Coptic has broken the Occidental
and Oriental trans-Pacific record once
more.
She arrived early this morning, nine
days nine hours and five minutes from
Yokohama, beating her own best rec
ord by forty minutes. She left Hong
king January 5th, Nagasaki January
11th and Yokohama January 17th She
caught a westerly breeze Immediately
after leaving Yokohama which kept
up steadily throughout the entire Voy-
age, and brought her right across the
ocean on her course. She has held the
o. & o. record since May, 1897, when
she made the voyage in nine days nine
hours and fOrty-five minutes.
The Coptic brings an unusually large
number of prominent and important
people among her passengers. There
are a number of naval officers who
took important part with Dewey in the
destruction of Admiral Montojos fleet.
Among them is Lieutenant G. G.. Calk-
ms, the navigator of the Olympia, who
guided the fleet into Manila Bay, and
who stood with Dewey on the bridge
of the Olympia and directed the navi-
eating manoeuvres of the fleet during
the battle. Among naval men and
men familiar with naval tactics his
work and achievements are looked on
as second only to those of Admiral
Dewey.
Then there is Captain e. p. Wood of
the Petrol, who achieved fame for him
self and his vessel. The Petrol mount
ed only two guns She was small and
of light draft. His orders from Dewey
were to go in as close as he thought
| prudent and use his discretion. His
idea of prudence and discretion was to
| push right in between the Spanish
vessels and the land batteries and en-
gage both
Lieutenant S. NJ. Strife commanded
the after barbette of the Boston and di-
rected the shot that finished the Relna
Christina and killed forty men aboard

Ensign ]. S. Doddridge had command
of the secondary battery of the Olym-
pia. He had gone to his stateroom for
something and had just left it when
a Spanish shell came crashing in. If
he had not left his stateroom when he
did he would not have been in Homo
lulu today.
There are a number of volunteer ma
val officers from Dewey's fleet, who
are returning to civil life. Among
| them are w. S. Barger A. d. Brown
