The great bulk of the American
people have little sympathy with
either theranting "anti-imperialist" OF
the ranting "expansionist," who calls
every one who disagrees with him a
traitors to his country. America has
no traitor, although we do have few
back number agitators who are woe
fully mistaken in their veiWs. Here,
however, is genuine American
utterance, and it comes from that
great apostle of the Democracy,
Henry Watterson, too: ''No party
in this country has ever yet thrown
itself across the highway of the coun-
try's progress and arrayed itself
against the soldiers in the field with
out marching to sure defeat. The
bugaboo of imperialism will fr1ghten
no one. It may make few he

Law Flows In Lurid Light From

Lava Flows In Lurid Light From
Mokuawoo
The W. G. Hall brings the news
that an eruption has taken place
from Mokuaweoweo, aud that two
streams OF lava are flowing from the
crater, one directing it's course to-
wards Olas, and the other pushing
its way towards Kau. The informa-
ton is apparently correct, and is
endorsed by all the passengers on
board the steamer. Rumorists have
frequently announced volcanic erup-
tions but they did not come true.
In this instance there is no doubt
that severe eruption has taken
place
The last flow from Mokuaweoweo
took place in 1880, when Hilo was
threatened aud Princess Ruth stop
ped the disastrous aow by offering
costly brandy and fat pigs to
Pele, the fiery goddess. The lava
flow stopped immediately-it would
probably have done so without pig
aud brandy, but as matter OF fact
it stopped.
II the sugar season does not dis
pose of all available steamers OF the
inter-islands a boat will probably be
forwarded at once to learn whether
this eruption is genuine or only
repetition of the old cry of"Wolil
wolff"
III Mokuaweoweo is really splitting
forth FIRE, rocks and lava, the sight
must be grand one, and we hope
the younger generation will be given
chance to see the great mountain

Accident or Suicide.


Harry N. Almy, the local agent OF
the Washington Light, is man pro-
strsted with grief.
Yesterday he and his young vile
we're as happy as pair Of turtle
doves and this morning he found
himselta widower, deprived Of the
sunshine OF his life
Mrs. Almy, young woman OF
about Is years Of age arrived here
on the 18th OF June In the S. G.
Wilder to join her husband, who for
some months had been established
in business here. The Almys were
married year ago in San Francisco
and the husband came to Honolulu
to see whether there was an opening
here for his business as agent OF the
Washington Light.
He met with success in his enter
prise and sent for his wife who i'm
mediately responded to his call.
Last night Mr.. Almy was not feeling
very we'll and he and his wife decided
to take drive and enjoy the balmy
air. They visited few friends and
returned to their residence on Young
street about midnight. Mr.. Almy
went to bed Immediately while the
yourg wife fingered 10 the dining
room. When she entered the sleep
ing room che complained of being
tired and sick. The husband did
not think anything serious was the
matter aud laughed at her. She
continued to complain, however,
aud he sent q telephone message to
DR.. Miner, asking him to come but
saying that he did not that it was
very serious affair. The condition
OF Mrs. Almy became alarming and
the husband sent an urgent message
to the doctor who arrived as soon as
possible, but too late as the young
woman had passed away.
On the dining room table vial
containing lysol, powerful poison,
was found and glass from which a
dose Of the deadly stuff had been
taken by the unfortunate woman.
No reason has appeared why the
deceased should desire to end her
life, aud it is plausible theory that
she wanted to use some medicine
bsfore retiring and by accident used
the lysol which was prescribed for
her for external use. lstf
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth
was summoned and this morning the
following jnrors were called to at
tend the coroner's inquest: E. o.
White, L. F. Prescott, VIM. Love, A.
Peyser, l.. Marks, f. L. Dortch.
The jurors we're driven to the resi-
dence OF the deceased where they
viewed the body and the inquest is
being held this afternoon.

Won Deiderichs Gets Letter From
Dewey.

VANCOUVER, B. O., June 27,-Ad-
miral Dewey has contradicted the
story Of his reported feelings aud
! statements at the time against the
German at Manila.
Admiral Won Deiderichs received
letter from Dewey, which explained
briefly that he had not made the
statements that were attributed to
him about blowing the Germans as
we'll as the Spaniards out OF the
water il the former interiered with
the conduct OF affairs in any way.
The North China News says that
\ II was informed that as the German
admiral was passing through Hong
kong homeward bound in the Prince
Heinrich he received the letter from
Admiral Dewey expressing the lat
ter's regrets at the unfounded state
ments made as to their relations at
Manila. The German admiral asked
for permission to publish the letter
and this was readily granted. A Pc
culiar future was that when this
announcement was made from Ad-
miral Dewey on the German ship
the Germans actually raised hearty
cheers for the Americana.

weeks afterward Shannon came to the
city, and on his return he saw milk
snake in the road about half mile
from his home. At first glance he
thought that the snake was his pet, and
ne was sure of it when the reptile fairly
stood upright, swayed to and fro, and

manner showed it's delight at his return.
The reptile remained in an upright po-
sition until it's owner picked it up, when
it gently squeezed his hand.
Edward Raymond, neWsboy on the
passenger train that was wrecked on the
Fall Brook railroad several days ago,
had a remarkable escape from DEATH
He was in one of the passenger cars
that had been knocked off the track and
rolled down a steep embankment into
Pine creek. The car turned over three
times. The first time that it made a
turn it fell on the stump of tree and
knocked a hole three feet wide in the
side of the car, and the next time the
jolt threw Raymond straight through
the opening out on ITO a place of safety.
After gathering himself together the
newsboy hurried five miles to the tele-
graph office and reported the wreck. In
the same wreck was a negress who was
taking her first ride on a railroad. When
the car that she was in stopped at the
edge of the creek she said:
I'm goin' to get right off dis yer cara
yes, I is, an once gets to Geneva, N.
Y, you won't neber get me on steam

She climbed out of the window and,
forgetting her satchel, she yelled: "Toss
my grip out dat window, you railroad

Presently the satchel came flying out,
and she started to aid the injured. When
the physicians arrived DR.. Delaney of

and she said: Don't you touch me,

piled to said defendant and requested
him to pay the rents and the value of
the use of said property and to account
to him for the same; but the defend
ant, Mcfarland, absolutely refused to

holding possession of the property.
"And your orator further shows that
on the 25th day of February, 1899, the

conveyed unto the plaintiff and his
heirs and assigns, all his right in and
to that said redemption made on Jan.

of interest and costs"
The complainant further states that
on March 81, 1899, he notified the sheriff
as to the assignment of Forbis' claim
to him and demanded that he execute
deed of conveyance, and that the
sheriff refused to do so, and that on
April 4, last Tuesday, he notified each
of the defendants of the conveyance
and requested them to account to him
for the rents and value of the use Of
the property in dispute, and that the
defendants absolutely refused to COM

May it please your honors to grant

to be directed to the said King and
Mcfarland, thereby commanding them
and each of them at a certain time and
under a certain penalty therein to be

Accounting.

John o. Bender, former resident of
this city, now of Spokane, yesterday
filed a suit in equity in tne Ur.ted
States court against Silas F. King and
G. o. Mcfarland. 1t is another link in
the long chain of litigation involving
the Grand Opera house property. In
December, 1897, the property was sold
by the sheriff under an execution issu-
ing out OF the district court upon a
judgment in favor of John O'Rou-ke.
At this sale Silas F. King was the
highest bidder, having bid the sum of
s1,072.42. The sheriff thereupon exc
cuted to King a certificate of purchase.
delinquent tax sale.
The complainant recites that the
opera house company did not redeem
the property within one year after the
sale; that in December, 1898, John
O'Rourke redeemed the property as
a creditor of the defunct company;
that King was not a creditor; that the
complainant, Bender, was prior to the
9th of December 1897, a creditor of
the opera house company, having
lien against the property; that COM
plainant in December, 1898, paid to the
sheriff who made the sale s1,201.12, the
amount to be paid to KING, together
with $685., the amount claimed by
O'Rourke as an. attaching creditor, to-
gether with interest money amounting
in all to $1,S21.S4 and that O'Rourke
gave his notice of redemption to the
sheriff; that on Jan. TO- 1899. and for
one month prior thereto ]. F. Forbis
was a creditor of the opera house COM
pany, having a lien against the prop
erty by judgment, and that F'orbis re-
deemed the property from sale and
from redemptions and each of them
made by O'Rourke and Bender; that
Forbis on the 10th of January, 1899,
paid to the sheriff for King, purchaser,
or to O'Rourke, redemptioner, or to
Bender, redemptioner, the sum of
$2,6S9.59. the amount due from Forbis
as a redemptioner.
And your orator further shows that
more than go days have expired since
the said redemption made and COM
piled by the said J. F. Forbis, and
that no further redemption has been
sale, and that the time allowed by law
for any further redemption has now
long since expired"
The complainant further relates
that at the time of each of said re-
demptions said defendant, G. o. Nc
Farland, and said defendant, King,
were in the possession of said property
and into the receipt of the rents and en-
joying the value and use and occupa-
ton thereof and have ever since con-
tinued in such possession and receipt,
