THE squatters on Hawaiian public land who claim that the United States homestead laws are operative there and entitle them to l6O acres each. will probably have their trouble for their pains. Hawaii, like Porto Rico. Guam and the Philippines, belongs to this country, but will not become part of it until Congress enacts the necessary laws. In the meantime the Hawaiian laws, even including those of customs. are paramount

The Storm Thursday.

black, lowering clouds made thelr ap- pearance from the north and orthwest, which became more dense and threat. ening as they approached the Mule Mountains. They were not surcharged with electricity; but those of our people who have witnessed floods in the past knew that one was fast draw. ing nigh. About 3:30 the water began to come down, and in very fe " minutes a perfect deluge was descend ing. Every little gulch on the side hills became small river, and when the whole body of water reached the two main canyons - Tombstone and Brewery - they at once became roaring torrents, carrying everything that was moveable before it.
 The downpour appeared to be the heaviest on the hills south and west of town, though it was perfect avalanche on all sides, and great bodies of earth were moved from their places and de. posted in the streets and in the road west of town, but the heaviest land slide was from the hull directly south of town. A body of rocks and earth weighing perhaps more than thousand tons was washed down from the side hill and deposited on the railroad track in the rear of Library Hall, and had it not been for the openings between t..e houses, through which the accumulated water conld escape, there is but little doubt that the row of adobe buildings south of Main street, including the Queen Hotel, Mansion house, Turf and Free Coinage saloons, would be pile of ruins this morning. As it was a per. feet river of water ran through the hallway of the Queen hotel, and also through the openings between the bulldings, which if it had not escaped in this way would have melted these adobe buildings down, for the mud and rocks had formed perfect dam on the railroad track and the water would have accumulated to a depth of at least from six to ten feet against the buildings.
 As soon as it was possible, after the rain had ceased falling, large number of men were put to work removing the mud and rocks from the roadbed and worked continuously through the night, having made but little impression on the vast pile up to daylight this morn- ing, but they will probably get enough removed today to admit of the engine passing up ani down the track.
 Another slite occurred in Tom bstone Canyon, just east of Dr. Edmondson' s residence, and at the west end of the Clauson grade. A pile of rocks and mud was washed from the hill side and left in the road to the depth of from four to six feet and about thirty feet wide, completely obstructing the road. Atthe turn of the road, just west of the Palace livery stable, the rocks were piled up to a considerable depth, chang ing the driveway to tEe south side of the gulch.
 All the scllars on the north side of Main street were flooded and consider able damage done and loss sustained by different ones having cigars, wines, liquors and other materials stored therein. Happily no houses were washed away, nor no one injured. so far as we have heard; but for a rainstorm, the flood of yesterday was one of the old.fashioned sort--the kind we read about, but seldom witness.
