cal reasons the Oregon should be sent
here at once.

NEW YORK, February 25-The Her
AIDS Washington correspondent tele-
graphs: With the arrival of the Ger
man cruiser Kaiserin Augusta at Ma
nila today, and the reports of filibus-
tering expeditions from Japan in the
| interest of Aguinaldo, there is a well
defined suspicion in the public mind
| that the political reasons" of Admiral
Dewey for desiring the Oregon must
be interpreted in the broadest sense
| that her presence is desired as much
| for moral effect in preventing foreign
| interference as in bringing the insur-
! gents to terms.
| MANILA, February 25.-The German
cruiser Kaiserin Augusta, which ar
rived here last night from Iloilo,
brought the news that the United
! States gunboat Petrol had visited the
| Island of Cebu, in the Visayas group of
the Philippines, and hoisted the Anne
rican flag. The president of the local
government of the island declared that
| he yielded only to superior force.

THE AVERAGE LEE.

1t is difficult to determine accurately
the average life of a good bicycle, but
it is estimated that the ordinary per-
son, riding to and from his business
and for pleasure, coYers about 1000
miles in a year. There are Sterlings in
use that have been ridden nearly 40, 900
miles, which would be equivalent to 20
years of average service. One Sterling
bicycle was ridden in one year over
$4,000 miles, and in doing this the
wheels rotated in their bearings near
ly 25,000,000 times, and the bearings
when examined showed no appreciable
wear. The bearings for the '99 model
Sterling are the S. e. j. special drawn
steel, corbonized and ground bone, to
diamond temper, and ground on their
own centers, making them not only
true, but absolutely in line with each
other. Felt washers and ball retain
ers are used throughout. The Pacific
Cycle & Manufacturing Co. have 30
of the new improved '99 model Sterling
bicycles in transit. They expect part
of this shipment to arrive on the Moa-
ma.

ANOTHER TRANSPORT HERE
THE ROANOKE MAKES A GOOD
RUN DOWN.
Brings Two Days Later News From
the Coast-Carries 1000 Tons of
Stores.

The United States transport arrived
in port this morning, to coal for the
voyage to Manila. She sailed from
San Francisco February 26th, at in
the afternoon. She should have arriv-
ed yesterday afternoon, but the channel
being rough Captain Kidston decided
to slow down and come in in the early
morning.
The Roanoke is an Old Dominion line
steamer but has been in the Klondike
trade the past summer. She was char
tered about a month ago by the gov
ernment, her charter to expire June 30.
But on account of her excellent ac-
commodations and fittings, it is
thought likely she will be made a hos
pital ship when she gets to Manila.
Her officers are, Captain William
Kidston, commander; w. II. Fergu-
son, chief officer; John Whitaker, chief
engineer; G.. r. Newcomb, purser; Il.
X. James, steward Dr. Edward Dig
gins, surgeon. ........
The officers and soldiers she carries
are Lieutenant Colonel Miley. who was
on General Skaters staff during the
Cuban campaign, and who is going on
now as an officer on General Lawton's s
staff; Lieutenant r. NJ. Brambilla of
the Twenty third regiment with 81
privates and three commissioned
officers; Dr. S. j. Fraser surgeon L. s.
A. anu lOuT nOSl)lldl SleNdIuS, james
Edwards, civilian clerk on staff duty,
and Captain Steuneberg, of the First
Idaho who is hurrying back from a
furlough now that there is fighting to
be done.
The Roanoke carries about 1000 tons
of stores.
Purser Newcomb has been for five
years with the Pacific Mail company,
running to Mexico and Central Ameri-
can ports,

FUN AT THE ORPHEUM.
The New Company Scores Big Sue
cess

The new company at the Orpheum
made it's initial bow to the public last
Saturday evening, and proved that
James Post had made an excellent Sc
lection of talent while at the coast.
The various specialists caught on
and the immense audience again and
again signified its approval by vigor-
Gus applause.
The two knock about" comedians,
Boyd and Orc, were exceedingly clev-
er in their line, their turn going with
a snap that Honolulu is little accus-
toned to. They are thoroughly up in
their business and spare no pains or
exertion 20 amuse. Both are good ath-
letes and their tumbling, somersaults,
and trapeze work We're capital. 1t
takes a good performer to look awk-
ward.
Eddie Armond gave some good Mig
ger songs and dances and Miss Ida
Francis Froved a graceful danseuse.
Miss Dora Mervyn won the approba-
ton of the audience by her rendering
of II Bacio, and she was twice recalled
giving a Berceuse first and then
Comm Thro' the Rye. Miss Mervyn is
a young German lady, or of German
descent, and has all the musical feel
ing of the Fatherland. Her voice is
well trained, and has high register.
j. F. Post and May Ashley were
great in their comedy sketch. The
singing was good, the dancing of both
was above par, and the dialogue, local
lied in a great measure, was sparkling
and very amusing. One of Posts good
things was hit at the New York reg
| iment. He asked why the seat of a
mans pants was like that gallant set
of warriors? The reply was, that they
were not intended to go to the front!
And the house yelled. His travesty on
| a hulu dance was very amusing.
| The performing dogs did credit to the
| training of Edward Martin. A striking
! feature was the perfect control Mr.
Martin had over his animals without
using any whip or stick. A look a mo-
ton of the hand, and the trick was
done. The doggies are very comical
and some of their feats out of the or
dinary The back somersault of one OF
! the terriers were marvellous. The
| jumping of the grayhounds was very
! graceful and striking.
While the dogs are in town a matt
nee performance should be given; there
would be a great gathering of the little
! folks, who would be wild with delight
over the antics of the various clever
artists in the canine company.
