OLD HONOLULU RIFLES.

Kamaainas smile at mention of
the foreign military organization
Of 1883 to 1890 known as the "old"
Honolulu Rifles. What owned
that designation existed about
forty years ago. When the later
body of that name was
formed, it's organizers were
not aware of a preceding
one of the same name. Other
wise, out of respect for the dead
another designation might have
been chosen.
The captains of the "old" Ho-
nolulu Rifles, which usually mus
tered 70 or 80 strong, in their
order were: Richard Cody, John
II. Brown, John A. Hassinger
aud Chas. T. Gulick. OF these
Mr.. Hassinger is the sole survivor.
Colonel W. f. Allen, Horace G.
Crsbbe and @. Il. Williams are
survivors from the corps. The
com mand marched in the funerrl
of Kamehameha w.
That monarch chose John o.
Dominis, husband of Liliuokalani,
out of the ranks to be bis private
secretary with the rank of major
on his staff.
Captain Cody went to the Coast,
and returning died at sea on board
the vessel Fanny Major, under
command of Captain Patty. His
body was brought to Honolulu
and inferred with military honorf
by his old company.
The company used to shoot at q
range in the vicinity of the Has
singer property, the targets being
out in the direction of where now
stands the Lunalilo Home. Tha
was away out in the country then
1t is in the midst of the city now
For some time after Mr.. Hassing
er had begun to improve bis home
stead there, the stakes marking
the old racecourse were still in tn
ground on the premises.
While marching in from shoe
one day, the company was halle,
by sentry at the palace. He aske'
the captain to stop the drum beat
ing. Kamehameha Nv. was il
and must not be disturbed. Ths
was the kings last illness.

Oahu ports late this afternoon.
The @ d Bryant got away for
San Francisco yesterday after
noon.
The Transport Roanoke got
away for Manila at about 2 o'clock

The 1 F Chapman and the Ro-

There is a big three-masted

not ascertained yet what she is.
The tugbost towed the schooner
Concord to sea this forenoon. As
the two were passing out, the
Concord threw line to the Kau.
ikeaouli and helped her out.
Fight ON American Girl.
There was trouble on the Am
erican Girl this morning. The
mate, Adolph Anderson, and one
of the sailors, got into an altera-
ton. The sailor did not take
long to decide what to do and,
jumping at the mate, beat his face
very badly. 1t has usually the
other way about on ships at this
port, but evidently, the sailor
wanted to change matters. The
fellow wss put under arrest. On
account of the condition of the
mates face, it is believed by some
that the sailors fists were not the
only things use.
Sailors Becoming Unruly.
Of late, things have been too
quiet along the waterfront and so
there is now an epidemic Of stub
bornness among the sailors OF
some of the vessels now in port,
leading to various charges entered
against them at the Police Station.
Arrests are being made today Of
men refusing duty. The w +
Babcock that sailed for Delaware
Breakwater the other day, signed
nine men from the derelict Ed
ward O'Brien. Only four turned
up. The other FIVE are adrift in
the city and the police are doing
their best to locate the where
labouts OF these fellows.

Tbs Remains Of the Spanish Officer
Discovered and Identified Near
Santiago.

Santiago de Cuba, March 13.-Yester-
day General Leonard Wood, military
governor of the Department of Santa
go, in the presence of the adujant gen
eral of the department, Colonel Beacon
and Captain Gilmore, Captain Scott,
captain of the port, and other officers,
positively identified the remains of the
Spanish officer discovered a few days
ago among the rocks on the shore about
four miles west of Ell Moro. as those
of Admiral Villamil, who commanded
the Spanish torpedo boat destroyers in
the naval battle which resulted in the
destruction of Admiral Cervera'S squad
ron.
Accompanied by the officers named
and by others, General Wood went in a
tug to investigate personally as to the
truth of the report that he body of
a Spanish officer had been found tied
in an arm chair, at the point designated.
The report proved we'll founded. Nearly
opposite the point where the wrecked
torpedo boat destroyer Pluton lies, Cen
eral Wood found an arm chair with
ropes around it, a skull, bones on the
ground and the ragged remnants of the
uniform of a captain in the Spanish
navy. 1t was evident that the buZZards
had stripped the bones of flesh.
1t is understood here-though as to
this there is no certainty-that Adj
miraI Villamil was taken ashore from
the Pluton in dying condition, tied
in an arm chair, and the supposition
is that he died Immediately on reaching
the shore, the body being left aban-
doned among the rocks where it re-
manned undiscovered until few days
ago.
The Identification caused a sensation
among the Spaniards here, as Admiral
Villamil was one of the best known
strategists in the Spanish navy and a
man held high in esteem by his coun-
trymen.
Gen. Wood, through the War Depart
ment, will notify the Secretary Of
State of the finding of the remains,
so that these can be removed to Spain,
if the Spanish government so desires.
Pending final disposition, they will be
kept at the arsenal, here. The latter
ed uniform will also be held subject
to SPANS wishes. The arm chair is
at present in charge of Captain Scott.

schoen Pressed Steel Works Goes Oh Full
To-Dav-Union Mo- Recognized
Pittsburg, Pa. March 13.-The strike
at the Schoen pressed steel works was
settled tonight and the plant will be
in full operation tomorrow. The re-
suit is a partial victory for the strik-
ers, the firm having conceded an ad-
vance of fifteen cents day to all en-
ployes in all departments, twenty
four hour shut down on Saturday, and
in case of accident permission for the
men in any department to stop work
until the injured or dead are removed
from the scene.
Just about the time the strike was
inaugurated by the punchers asking
an advance of twenty-five cents a day,
the firm granted an increase of ten
cents day to all employees, and to-
night the additional five cents was
conceded.
The firm adhered to it's decision not
to treat with the men as an organized
body, and the men finally sent a COM
mittee of one from each department
and General Manager McCool re-
ceived them and stated the terms of
resumption, which were accepted and
the strike formally declared off.

aldo's Forces In Sorry Plight.
Madrid, March 13.-Gen. Rios, the
Spanish commander in the Philip
pines, in an official despatch acquaint-
ing the government with the fact that
Major General Otis has stopped the
negotiations for the release of the
Spanish prisoners in the hands of the
rebels, says:
Il protest in the name of humanity,
and believe the time has arrived to
appeal through the consuls to the good
offices Of the powers"
The despatch says also: Il am told
that the F,ilipinos are at war with the
Americans and that the prisoners can
not be ransomed for money as that
would improve the position of the in
surgents. In view of my situation be-
tween the Americans and the FilipinOS
l await the orders of the government"
A copy of the despatch was sent i'm
mediaIely to Senior Silvela, the pre-
mier, who had long conference with
Gen. Polievaja minister of war. Both
admit the gravity of the situation and
the despatch will be submitted to the
Cabinet Council tomorrow.
The government is perpleXed at see
ing no clear solution of the difficulty.
At the Ministry of War this evening
it was said that no reply would be
sent to Gen. Rios, pending the Cabi
nets decision.
The plan of negotiating with Agui-
naldo direct, without reference to
Washington, has been abandoned,
however. and Senior Silvela, in his ca
pacity of Minister of Foreign Affairs,
will probably not await the decision
of the Cabinet regarding the despatch
before communicating with the Amer
lean government.

Is received by DR.. r. Y. Pierce, the cele
brated specialist in women's diseases
chief consulting physician to the 1nva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buff
3alo N Y.
1t is only fair to say that it is not the
man that women write to, but the doctor.
One of the remarkable features of this
correspondence is that years after a cure
has been effected, grateful women con-
tinue to write to DR.. Pierce, being thank
full for health and for the kind and
fatherly advice, which was blended with
the PHYSICIANS counsel, and which was
so helpful in preserving the health when
regained.
The offer of free consultation by let
ter is extended by DR.. Pierce to every
sick and ailing woman. Every letter
received is read in private, answered in
private and its contents treated as a sa-
cred confidence. To exclude any third
party from the correspondence, all
answers are mailed in a plain envelope,
bearing upon IL no printing or advertising
whatever. Address DR.. R " Pierce,
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N Y.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the
great remedy for female troubles, irregu-
Iarities, facilitating drains, inflammation
and liberation, is for sale by all dealers
in medicine. Accept no substitute
which may be recommended as "just as
good 4" that the dealer may make little
extra profit.
