We toiled on for lite-bare life. Then
imagine our amaZement when on the
long surface of a dune we perceived hu.
man footsteps imprinted in the sand
Down we went III our knees and ex-
amined them. There was no doubt of
it. They were the footprints of human
beings. Surely we could not be very far
off from the river now. In an instant
we were wide awake. We followed up
the trail till we came to the top of a
dune, where the sand was driven to-
gether in a hard, compact mass, and
the footprints could be more distinctly
made out. Kasim dropped on his knees,

VERY MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A
CHINAMAN.
Chased by Police with a Warrant. H,
Disappears and His Body is Found
in the Stream Near BY.

News of the peculiar death of a n N
naman near Kaneohe reached town
this morning. There was considerable
trouble there in getting at the cause Of
death, for official record. but the coro-
ner's jury finally returned a verdict of
suicide.
Two days ago the body Of a China
man named All Sing was found in the
stream near Kaneohe. Death had oc-
CURED by drowning and, evidently, two
days before or perhaps more. A coro-
ner'S jury was summoned bye Deputy
Sheriff Frank Pahia and viewed the
body.
The jury found substantially as fol-
lows There was a warrant out for the
arrest of the Chinaman foS having OPT
UNI in possession. The police were after
him and he knew il. At one time he
was chased by an officer of the district,
but escaped.
Soon after, he disappeared, or all
trace of him was lost. The next heard
of the man was the discovery of his
body in the stream,
The cOroner'ss jury looked carefully
into the matter. There was a possi-
bility that the man may have been done
away with to conceal the guilt oA an
other party or parties. AS a matter of
fact, however, absolutely no evidence
could be obtained one way or the other
and the jury finally decided uoon sui
eide purely to get rid of the case.
An official report of the matter Las
been sent by Pahia to Deputy Marshal
Chillingworth.

La Paloma, the dove, left San Fran

August 3. She was scarcely outside the
Golden Gate when she was becalmed
and for three days was in sight of the
Farralones. Then she got a breeze that
lasted two days and carried her some
thing over AGO miles. Then there was
another calm of three days. The ninth
day out she experienced such heavy
northeast trades that owing to the i'm
mense length and sweep of the main
boom, and the size OF the mainsall, she
was either hove to or running under
double reefed foresails. These heavy
trades remained with her until she ar
rived at this port.
She proved on her trip down that she
Is magnificent sea boat During the
whole trip she never took drop of wa
ter over her rail.
She was brought here by Archibald
Macphail, first officer of the Andrew
Welch, with William H. Harold as
mate. The crew consisted of William
Payne and Harry Kia. Kia is a native
who went to Manila on the Conemaugh
and returned to San Francisco on the
Hancock.
La Paloma is schooner rigged, 40 feet
long, IA feet inches beam and 8 feet

Francisco and was launched July 8,
1895. She has had several owners, has
sailed in a number of regattas and won
a number Of pennants. She carries an
immense amount of canvas. Her main

EXTENSIONS ARE CUT OFF
UNITED STATES wHACKs THBr

The New Additions to Nuuanu ana

ed and May Come Down.

The secretary of war has cut off the
extensions to Nuuanu ana Sorenson'a
wharves, recommended by the Chamber
of Commerce and constructed by tks
superintendent of public works. Now
what?
The opinion of United States officials
is that the wharf ends now become OBJ
struCtions and must be removed. AS
the new map has been finally approved
and signed by the secretary of war,
there is no appeal from it's mandates
The result will probably be that the
Government will have to remove tbs

The map and its specifications are on

one minor particular the surveys and
recommendations of the board, of which
MAJOR Langfitt was the head, are ap-
proved. This alteration of the ass St
ant secretary of war draws in the line
along the Youman estate from the di-
rectlon of the railway about twenty
feet. extending from the initial point
near King street bridge to a point oppO-
site the west end Of Emmes' wharf.
Coming into the harbor from the chan
mel, port side, the harbor follows with
in 210 feet of the sea wall to a point I'm
front of the Healani boat house, where
1t bends northwest and follows a
straight line to the Richards street slip
IT then bends again outward and passes
from 40 to 60 feet in front of the Paci-
fic Mail wharf.
kinau and Likelike wharves are CIV
en- leeway of about 40 feet each, which
Will admit of considerable extension for
them. The line then crosses within q
few feet of Kekuanoa wharf and striE-
es the end of the Inter Island dnrk
From there 1t bends again and follows
Jam up the |. |. s. ~, Oceanic and Al

case of the latter where a few feet are
left on the Waikiki side of the end.

HAWAII RAILROAD SOLD.
Kohala Planters Control Access to-
Their Best Harbor

The Hawaii Railroad running from
MahukOna to Multi has been sold by
Wilder's Steamship Company to the Ko-
hala Sugar Company. The price stated
Is $4,000. 1t is unders TODD that all or
most of the Kohala plantations are in
terested in the deal. The railroad taps
nearly all these plantations and it will
now be run as part of the plantations
instead of as an Independent enterprise.
A contract will be entered into under
which the relations OF the steamship
company will be continued as hereto
fore.
The deal which has now been closed
has been in process of negotiation for
some time. 1t gives the plantations the
control of access to what is considered
probably the. best landing on this part

Cuba and the Philippines will become
