A PACIFIC CABLE
Sydney Papers Raise
Objections to 1t.
They Calm II IL Not "Aii British
Because It Touches At
Honolulu.

The Sydney papers OF July 4th all
refer the Pacific cable from Vancouver
via Honolulu, the subject being brought
up especially by the reception by
Premier Reid of New South Wales Of
delegations from the cable companies
interested. Both the morning news
papers referred to the subject in their
leading columns.
The Herald says il is not Of very
great moment how Australia gets "A
second cable, provided it is really an
alternative. There is certainly an In
perial sentiment at stake, but on the
Home Government rests the RESPONSE
bility of dealing with tnar.
The Daily Telegraph strongly objects
to the Gable Company's scheme, be-
cause 1t touches at Honolulu, and is
not 'iall British" while the colonial
Governments would be saddMng them
selves with the responsibility. Seeing
that the new company pays interest
on about G15,000,000 worth of stock,
the Eastern Company would have no
guarantees and no bond would be
broken even II they had. 4 cable was
palpable necessity, and it would have
to be State-owned, in accordance with
Canadian and Australian precedent.
Mr.. Reid, the Premier, interviewed
with regard to the Pacific cable, said he
did not think the companies deputa-
ton had adduced any reasons TO in
duce the colonies to alter their views.
The companies We're entitled 20 their
nninion on tho matter llit M, did moi
think 1t would be necessary 10 after
the instructions already given to the
Agent General In any way. The New
South Wales Government was taking
no further action in the matter.

Hilo, Hawaii, July Fl, 1899.
EDITOR ADVERTISER: - There
seems to be so much confusion in re-
gard to the direction of flows coming
from the present outbreak that word
in explanation of the nature of the
country thereabouts may be helpful.
Before doing this should like to say
THAT the information in regard to the
location of the present outbreak. which
was contained in the article signed "By
One of the Party" in the Gazette of
July 18th, was obtained from Surveyor
T. ID. Baldwin. No one is better ac-
lQuainted with that region than he, as
he has surveyed and traversed the
whole of it. Also he has taken partic-
Iuiar pains to locate the position Of
the different outbreaks from that
spot II was he who mapped out the
| route of the first Hilo party. which
! route has now been established as the
hest one from Hilo to the source of the
flow of 1899.
Running from the summit of Mauna
Loa towards the east and part way
down the side of the mountain there Is
a ridge, or long spur. 1t is along this
fridge that so many Of Mauna Loa's out
breaks have Occurred-those of 1912,
I1S55, lSSO-S1 and the present one. .
a flow breaking out upon this ridge
might flow directly toward Waiakea.
toward the Volcano House. or toward
the middle ground between Mauna Kea
and Mauna IIOa.
| 4 flow breaking low down on the
fridge, or toward the east, would flow
toward Waiakea. One breaking high
lup would flow down either one side or
the other, as ii could not follow the
Summit of the ridge for any length,
!Owin. to it's narrOwness there. Thus
lit would go either towards the Volcano
House or toward the middle ground
between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.
! a flow going toward the Volcano
House would turn at right angles to
its first course after flowing twelve or
lfifteen miles, owing to the natural
Trend of the ground. and thus ultimate
lily would flow toward the sea between
Puma and Kau. For some reason none
|Of the flows from this ridge have ever
taken this direction. but have. most Of
Them, followed the opposite course
THAT of 1912 breaking low down, went
ldirectly toward Waiakea; the 1SSO-Sl
flow also started for the same place,
but, striking the hill. Pun Ulaula, split
upon It, a small part going toward the
volcano House. but by far the larger
portion making for the middle ground
lThe flow OF 1856. being high up, went
directly toward the middle ground, as
also did an ancient flow high up.
