the two women mentioned had no right
in that position. The natives We're very
much incensed that they, being devoid
of even a drop of royal blood in their
veins, should be placed ahead of the
Queen Dowager's carriage and that of
the two Princes. David Kawananakoa
and Cupid Kalanianaole.
All the way to the cemetery, it is
said, the horses acted queerly, and
two or three times the driver
was forced to call for assist
ance from people in the process
sion. AS the carriage was about to en-
ter the cemetery gate the horses began
to back away and refused absolutely to
enter The occupants became very
much frightened, but remained in their
places, thinking that the horses would
soon be got under control. In this
they were mistaken. It was not long
before well-known Hawaiian stepped
to the side of the carriage and suggest
ed that the occupants alight and walk
to the mausoleum. They took heed of
the advice and got out. The horses i'm
mediateIy became quiet. Then the car

terry without mishap. Mrs. Robertson
and Mrs Boyd were forced to enter
later on. The natives say that had the
two women persisted in remaining in
the carriage some terrible accident
would have happened to them. They
had said previously they would never
enter the gate ahead of the people of
royal blood. Many who stood around
while this thing took place say that the
head of the nigh horse was held to-
ward the right hand kahili of state on
the catafalque, and that the head of
the off horse was held toward the left
hand kahili, indicating, as the natives
say. the cause of their stubbornness.
OF course, to many these tales seem
to be the merest nonsense. Not so to
the native Hawaiians, who believe in
omens and who see in very many of
the happenings that pass by the ma
jority of people unnoticed some direc-
ton from the spirit world. They are
as race very superstitious, fact that
can be readily proved by a glance at
the books written about them in the
olden times, and yet it is a remarkable
fact that a great many of their pre-
dictions, brought forth by various hap
penings, really do come true. and that
white people who have lived in the ISL
ands for many years come to look for
the same signs as the natives

MANILA. April 2. $50 p. m.-The
American troops under General Mac
Arthur are still resting at Malolos,
where everything has been quiet to-
day. Hostlities elsewhere-so far as
officially repOrted-have been limited
during the last twenty-four hours to an
occasional exchange of shots between
the insurgents and troops forming the
lines of General Lawton and General
Hall extending from the water works
to La Lonia. But this shooting has
been just active enough to make the
lives Of the soldiers a burden and to
. compel the officers to sleep in trenches
clothed and in readiness to repel posi-
; bic attacks.
Most of the Americans are becoming
convinced that the backbone Of the in
: surgent opposition is broken There are
numerous rumOrs pointing to an early
collapse Of the insurrection. One Of
these is that General Pho del Pillar the
best fighter among the Filipino officers
will desert Aguinaldo and give his sup
port to the Americans.
The Spaniards, reasoning from their
experience Of the natives, refuse to be-
lieve that the rebellion is anywhere
near put down. They declare the Fill
pinos viii not take their defeat at Ma
lolos. with the loss of the city and the
removal Of their so-called government,
seriously to heart. On the contrary.

lines, bothering them as much as DOS

TEVADA CITY, April 2.-The
officers of the law are close on
" a, the frseE Of Edward al Moore; .,,,e5;
have passed they expect to take
him into custody. Hemmed in by
rugged mountains. with the roads to
the lower country carefully guarded
by the authorities, the fugitive has lit
tie chance of escape.
For the first time since the murder
of Officer Kilroy definite information
regarding Moore's whereabouts has
been received. At dusk last night he
was seen about two miles from Grass
Valley, near the North Star mine, by
William Taunt. Taunt is a rancher
and has the reputation in Grass Val
ley of being a truthful man. Taunt
said positively to The Call correspond
ent to-day that he had not only seen
Moore, but had held a lengthy con-
versation with him.
81 could not be mistaken, said
Taunt. He and 1 were in the County
Jail together in March, 1896, / serving
for disturbing the peace and he for as
sault with a deadly weapon. We
recognized each other Immediately
last evening and shook hands. He said
he was going o the lower country on a
little trip. He had a bundle of blan-
kets and looked travel-Stained and
weary, but had no gun and [ saw no
pistols on him. He seemed glad to see
me, and there was nothing unusual
about his manner. After a pleasant
chat he started leisurely down the
road toward Auburn"
This morning Taunt heard for the
first time about the killing of Kilroy
by Moore.
do you mean Ed Moore, the half
deaf prospector up at Nevada City, F"
he asked his informant.
''Yes, was the answer.
Then he told of having seen the fu-
gitive last evening. Sheriff Getchell
was Immediately notified by telephone
started toward Placer County. Off
GERS at Colfax, Auburn and all other
down country points were notified of
the clew, and Placer County's Sheriff
began arranging a Gordon of regular
and special deputies, so as to effect
ually close every avenue of escape in
that direction.
Sheriff Getchell and his posse are
still searching the mountains for the
fugitive, and when they find him the
citizens here expect to receive details
of a battle.
Moore is known to be dead shot,
and he will fight like a cornered rat.
1t is certain he will offer resistance,
and, in that event, it is quite prob
able he will die like the rest of his

OF course, this may all be the i'm
aginings of excited minds. but ii. is new
ertheless a strange fact that nearly a
dozen PEOPLE should tell almost the
same story. The noises may have been
caused by the strong wind blowing that
night. However, the story, when heard
by the natives, was believed. and they
gave to it all a meaning.
It is a well-known fact that the
Princess hated the idea of diving. and
held to the hope that she would recov-
er, even to the very last moment.
When she was dying and her father
stood at the bedside, his hand clasping
the wasted one held out to him. she
still fought for her life. Kaiulani had
the greatest faith in her physicians,
and trusted TO them to nurse her back
to health, but the rheumatism finally
attacked her heart and her fate was
sealed The natives say that the voice
heard at midnight was truly that of
the Princess protesting against her
death and calling upon her doctor for
aid
Another peculiar happening was at
Washington Place, the town home of
ex-Queen Liliuokalani, which has not
been occupied since the Queen left for
the States. On the night of the death
of the Princess Joe Heleluhe. who went
to Washington as the secretary of the
Queen while she was fighting against
annexation, walked into the yard with
the intention of speaking with some
natives living in the rear He noticed
lamp in the room on the upper floor
that used to be occupied the Princess
when she was staying in town for a
few days. Thinking this unusual. he
went closer to the house and,
he declares, saw figure stand
ing near the lamp evident
ly in deep contemplation. When it
turned he saw distinctly the face of
the dead Kaiulani. Then the light went
out and nothing more was to be seen.
The last and perhaps the strangest
of all the happenings in connection
with the death of the dead girl wit
messed as it was by hundreds of peo-
pie, was at the gate to the graveyard
in Nuuanu Cemetery at the time when
the hearse bearing the body of the
Princess entered. The first carriage
was that of the father, Governor Cleg-
horn, accompanied by Mrs. j. w. Rob
ertson and Mrs. j. II. Boyd. daughters
by his first wife. The fathers place
next to the body was undisputed. but

HONOLULU, March 25.-It is a
| habit among the natives of the
I Hawaiian Islands that for nine
days after the death of a chief
or chiefess their thoughts must
be of the dead. During these days
they relate the mysterious happenings
that always seem to come to pass after
one of royal blood has departed this
the world some of the uncanny happen
ings after the death of the late Princess
Kaiulani that this article is written.
1t was midnight on the 10th of
March, 1899, that a solemn procession
passed under the palms and spreading
trees of Ainahau and wended its way
slowly toward the Waikiki road to
town, and then into the large gateway
of Kawaiahao. II was the hearse. bear
ing the body of the Princess Kaiulani,
followed by the mourning father and
others Kaiulani had left her beauti

was placed on a catafalque in Kawaia-
hao church, there to lie in state through
the next day.

with a number of native and Japanese
servants, We're the only ones remaining
in the house after the departure of the
body for the church. This young lady
had Just taken a reclining position on
one of the "hikieis" or divans that are
to be found all over the house,
when, it is asserted. she heard
noises that made her blood run
cold. Transfixed to the spot, she
listened for their recurrence, and in
very short time they were repeated.
The room on the upper floor that had
been occupied by the Princess seemed
to be in an awful state of unrest. The
sound of a myriad of bodies passing
through the room and tossing furni-
ture about, it is said was
what met the ears of the
frightened people. Then came
rush of wind. The door of the room
leading out into the hall opened with
burst and something came down the
stairs with a rLmbling sound. Then
the door leading to the walk that con
meets the main house with the lanai
opened in the same mysterious way
and closed again with a slam. The
chairs and tables on the walk were
overturned, and a voice which was, ac-
cording to the people in the house, un-
mistakably that of the dead Princess,
was heard to cry, "Kauka! Kauka!"

scale as is possible in the dry season.
Upon the administration of crush

proclamation, from which the authori-
ties expect great results.

the destruction of Iloilo by the Fill
pinos before General Miller captured
the city. Stevenson & Co, an English
firm, estimate its loss at $4,000, con-
sisting chiefly of stored hemp. Other
firms had warehouses and stocks de-
strOyed. English insurance companies
will be the chief losers. A French firm
of jewelers-La Estrella del Norte-
lost 100000 worth of property. When
the destruction began the firms en-
ployes filed their pockets with dia-

to refuge barges in the bay. Before
they got away the Filipinos caught
them and took everything.
