MOKULELES GREW SAFE MAY Be BUBON|C PLAGEI
WERE CAPSIzED NEAR KALALAU
BUT ESCAPED.
Suffered Perils and Endured Severe
Hardships but Finally Arrived at
Waimea and Took Steamer Thence.

Through perils that would try the
stoutest hearts, and by escapes that
seem little less than miraculous, Cap
tain Joe Irving and the members of the
crew of the MOkulele that were with
him, landed safely at Kalalau the day
after setting sail from Hanalei in the
skiff on the voyage on which they were
supposed to be lost. Irving and two of
the others arrived in Honolulu this
morning by the Waialeale. Irving is
suf aring considerably physically from
the hardships he endured.
He says that after leaving Hanalei,
they buffetted heavy seas all night that
kept them wet through and hard at
work managing the light vessel they
We're in. The next morning they found
themselves near Kalalau and thought
the worst of their troubles were over.
They were tired out and hungry and
were just opening tin,o canned food
to eat for breakfast, when a strong
wind came down on them off shore
Fl ON a gulch they were passing and
capsized their boat. All their food and
everything else went to the bottom. A
valise in which Irving had the papers
relating to the Mokuleles cargo and the
money he had received as master, for
freight and other business connected
with the vessel, went to the bottom. The
men of course were all in the water,
but managed to keep themselves ahoat
and to get to the overturned boat. Af-
ter three hours in the water, they man
aged to right the craft and with the as
sistance of some natives who came out
to them, got to Kalalau. They remain
ed there several days refitting their
boat and then sailed to Waimea. From
there Irving and the mate took the Ke
Au Hou to Hanamaulu, and finding the
Waialeale there ready to sail for Homo
lulu, took passage on her and arrived,
as stated, this morning.
The isolated position of Kalalau.
without telephone communication with
other points on the Island is probably
the reason why their safe arrival at
that place was not known before.

MARU STILL HELD IN
. QUARANTINE.
A Death Two Days Ago Causes In
quiry--Board of Health Has Given no
Final Judgment.

The Nippon Maru arrived early this
morning after what must be very near
ly a record trip from Yokohama. She
left Hongkong May 81. Shanghai May
"a, Nagasaki June 3, after seven days
in quarantine. Kobe June 6 and Yoko-
hama June 8. She left Yokohama one
day after the Rio and the Rio has not
yet been sighted. This makes the Nip
pons time about SSdays.
She was held in quarantine at Naga-
saki because of sickness breaking out
among the Chinese passengers which
the Nagasaki authorities diagnosed as
the bubonic plague which is raging in
Hongkong.
Three days ago there was another sud-
den death among the Chinese which the
ships surgeon it is said ascribed TO
uraemia. The local health author
tiles, however have been engaged all
morning making an investigation. The
vessel has been held outside and only
the least possible amount of communi-
cation between her and the shore was
allowed. As the Rio sailed one day
ahead of her, the Nippon only brings
one days mail. This was brought
ashore. DR.. Day went out to the YES
sci early this morning, and returning
went out again later, accompanied by
another physician. Another investiga-
tion was made and then the two physi-
clans reported to the president of the
Board of Health. At the time of going
to press it had not been decided what
should be done with her. The passeu-
gers for Honolulu of whom there are
several, have not yet been allowed to
/ land The ships papers for the Custom
! House have not been Brought ashore,
and Customs officials have not gone
| aboard of her.
| A special meeting of the Board of
Health will be held at o'clock this af-
| ternoon at which DIR. Day will make his
report and recommend that the vessel
| be put in quarantine. He considers the
circumstances of the death of the Chi
nese three days ago, taken into consid-
GRAFTON with the views and action OF
/ the japanese authorities sufficiently
| suspicious to warrant this.

ATTORNEY GENERAL 5 SAY
ANSWERS CHARGES OF LAWYER
HUMPHREYS.
Accepted One Attorney for Prosecution
and Suggested One for Defense, but
Assumed no Responsibility.

Attorney General Cooper has filed an
answer to the charge of malpractice and
unprofessional conduct preferred
against him by A. S. Humphreys. Each
of the allegations in complainant's bill
Is specifically admitted, denied, an
swered or qualified. At the close of the
answer Mr.. Cooper makes this state
ment:
THAT the requesting by him (the At
torney- GeneraD of the said Weber to
appear for the said Carreira was made
under the following circumstances:
1T was represented to the respondent
by the Finance Department that the
issues involved in the charge against
the said Carreira were of much impor-
tance to the Finance Department and
effected the efficiency of the department
in securing to the Government the rev.
enue due from Asiatics for personal
taxes, and that legal assistance was
required for the defense of said Car
reira and the respondent was requested
to furnish such assistance.
Finally, after the said a. S. Hum
phreys had been engaged on behalf of
the complaining witness, as special
counsel for the prosecution, the respon-
dent asked the said Weber if he would
be willing to attend to the case; that if
he had no objection the respondent
would like to have him appear for the
Finance Department in the matter. The
said Weber, a licensed practitioner, was
at the time engaged as stenographer
and clerk in the Attorney Of
fee, but was not a deputy of the At
torney-General nor public prosecutor.
The said Weber expressed his willing
ness to so appear, and the matter was
left entirely in his hands.
THAT at no time did the respondent
assume any personal direction or con-
troll of the defense of said case, but the
matter was attended to by said Weber
IN the interest and on behalf of the
| Finance Department.; and at no time
and in no manner did the respondent
| interfere with or direct the prosecution
| of said case against said Carriera, but
| the same was carried on by the said
| Humphreys as he saw fit.
"That in the action taken by him in
| the said prosecution of Carreira he act
| ed i'm the utmost good faith and pur-
sued a course which was proper and
| consistent with his duties as Attorney
| General as aforesaid and as an attor-
ney of this court.
THAT the information laid herein by
| the said A. S. Humphreys is not justi-
| fed by the facts and is malicious and
| scandalous, and the rule should be dis
| charged"

THE BRAVE NEBRASkANS
AND TWENTIETH KANSAS BEAR
BRUNT OF FIGHTING.
Graphic Letter from Major c. e. Stan
ton Describing the Hardships and
Gallantry of the Volunteers.

Major w. A. Purdy received the fol-
lowing letter from Major-Paymaster c.
70. Stanton in the Philippines, which
gives strikingly graphic picture of the
horrors of the war;
MANILA, p. l., April 26, 1899.
Major w. A. Purdy, Honolulu, Hawai-
ian Islands.
The Nebraska regiment have never
been in the city since the fighting be-
gan on February 4, and their regiment
is now down to less than 400 active men
from death wounds, fever and sun.
They had lost 165 killed and wounded
up to Saturday last. On that day Z
were killed and IL wounded. Sunday s
were killed and 13 wounded including
Colonel Stotsenberg, and yesterday two
more were killed.
The palm for all this fighting lies
with the Twentieth Kansas and Ne
braskas for they have one wonders, be-
ing at the front continually. So many
deeds of valor have been performed
that they all will never be recorded, and
the history of the Eighth Army Corps
will be replete with valor courage and
patriotism.
The papers keep you we'll informed Of
our doingS, but no one can impress up
on you the hardships our men have 10
undergo. Our boys wade swamps and
rice fields, and streams up to their
waists, carrying guns and ammunition
belts over their heads and sleep at
night with no covering but the stars,
their clothes saturated with water and
plastered with mud; fighting until pitch
dark; resting on their arms, breakfast
ing as best they can before daylight,
without fire; then on again under a
tropical sun intense in it's fierceness;
taking trench after trench of the enemy
which were marvels of engineering skill
and which a regiment of our soldiers
could hold against a myriad of these
insurgents. All this, and more, every
man from the brigadier commander to
the private imbued with the one idea
that American power was supreme, and
that it must be maintained
When / saw Colonel Egbert killed
and brought his body home to his wife
and three young lady daughters here,
when Krayerbuhps remains were sent
home on the Sherman to wife and two
babies there, when Stotsenburg was
brought in Sunday to his wife and two
sweet little girls here, and l think OF
| her voyage home with him now, I can
| only bow my head and realize to the
| full-war is hell!
Even the pay corps will get into the
scrap officially, as we will have 10 pay
| the troops, on the 1st, in the trenches
on the firing line. This means going ur
and down line forty miles long, where
| firing from the enemy is constant somt
part of the day and may run my nose
straight up against it. I only hope ]
may escape the bullets, but better mer
| than / have stopped them, and it may
be my turn.

THE FIGHTING 18th"
How Honolulu Appeared to One of It's
Men.


The Star has received copies of "a
number of patriotic comic and senti-
mental songs from the author Rena
n Sangster of Buffalo. One of the
most striking is entitled ''The Fight
ing 13th," and is dedicated TO the he
roes of San Juan. The titles of some
Grand Army Song, Uncle Sam For
ever" Our Brave Boys In Blue" THE
Old Homestead and "Those Who
Laugh Loudest are Those Who Laugh
Last"
Miss Sangster was prompted to
send these songs by the account of
the enthusiastic reception of the 18th
at Honolulu given in the Star copies
of which were sent her by Quarter
Masters Sergeant Fred Bihclii to-
gether with letter afterwards pub
lished in the Buffalo Review in which
he says:
Honolulu. has never been appreciat.
ed by the people of the United States.
1t is the most beautiful spot | have
ever seen. Every residence is "A work.
of art, and the surroundings of each
little cottage is a miniature park in it
self. The trees and flowers which
lut law HS VI every arc
universally admired in our home "con-
servatories." Here they grow in their
natural size and beauty never even to
be suspected of at home. Some of the
homes are perfect dream, and never
could ! have imagined such beauty
outside of Paradise.
THE city is up-to-date in every par
ticular. Some of the stores in the bus
mess part of the city would put to
shame many of the splendid ones on
Main Street, of which the Buffalonians
are so proud. If | had my choice of
places to serve in, the rest of my life,
(excepting) Buffalo, this would be the
place. The fame of our Regiment got
here ahead of us, and you could see
articles about the fighting 18th in big
head lines in several local papers, the
daY after our arrival here"

THE RETRIEVER.
Long Looked for Schooner Arrives
from Hongkong.
charged

The schooner Retriever arrived here
last night 106 days from Hongkong, af-
ter voyage that was full of incident.
She sailed from Hongkong March Sd,
but by adverse winds and a typhoon
was driven to the northern extremity
of the Island of Luzon, having lost hel
main topmast 1t was the intention to
refit here but the threatening appear
ance of Filipino fort, the attitude of
the natives who started out toward the
schooner as though to make prize of her
and a faVoring breeze springing up at
the moment, changed this plan. The
schooner then tossed about i'm the Chi
ma sea landing was made on the ISL
and of Formosa where repairs We're
made. Here j. w. Brown, the owner
left her and came by steamship to Ho-
nolulu.
The Retriever was built in Yokohama
in 1885, and is of 96.58 tons. She was
used as a sealer for several years and
was finally bought by Brown three
years ago in Borneo and until the pres
ent trip was engaged in the coasting
trade in China.
Additional interest centers in the ar
rival of the Retriever from the fact that
d. r. Vida who left here on a sailing
vessel for Hongkong for a trip for his
health, arrived on her as one of hcr
Seamen.

The popularity of "Apollinaris"

that it is obtainable in practically all
