MAY HAVE BEEN SPONTANEOUS
COMBUSTION.
Origin of Fire Obscure-Was in Pu
naluu When Flames Broke Out-Forc-
ed to the Boats

Captain Kaufman and the crew of
the steamer Iva arrived from Punaluu
last night They are unable to throw
any light on how the vessel caught
fire. There are some circumstances
that suggest spontaneous combustion.
Captain Kaufman gives the following
ac count of the disaster.
We left here Thursday with a cargo
OF general merchandise. We had rough
weather after passing Diamond Head.
When we got off Waimanalo the boil
er gave out. a seam in the back con-
nection opened. Then we discovered
smoke coming from the engine room
and fore hatch. The engineer looked
around and could not discover any fire.
but the covering of the boiler seemed
to be coming off. but there was no fire.
The engineer got his fireman and they
both threw water on the covering of
the boiler The smoke seemed to 60
away then. About an hour afterwards
the engineer discovered smoke again
and then he went down and tore some
OF the covering off the boiler, and ev-
erything seemed right again. until we
got in Punaluu.
When the boiler gave out off Wal
manalo we set our sails and sailed to
Punaluu. When we reached Punaluu
had the fore hatch removed thinking
TO get the smoke out, thinking it came
from the engine room. Just as soon as
we took the forehatch off the smoke
came out Then it seemed to clear away
and Immediately lot of black smoke
came out and flames followed it, Then
we had to take to the boat at once. The
smoke and heat drove us away We did
not have time to save any of our clothes
or personal effects. We were in the
port of Punaluu, when we abandoned
the vessel having arrived there at 6:15
o'clock in the evening. The vessel burn
Jed to the waters edge and then sank
All we could see of her yesterday was
about eight feet of her foremast."

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of acy other one make, This is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-

tion. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small.

GERMAN INSPECTION BILL.
TAR show Tor American Meat Likely Il
Result In an Increas- al Import.

Eerliu, Jan. IL. The Imperial Meat
inspection bill Is again one Of the fore
most subjects discussed by the German
new spapcrs. The mrtsurc was finally
passed. by the Prnssm Cabinet, and
has gone 10 the Rundcstath. which IL il
understood Will make short work OF it,
IA each of the federal governments has
already considered il. and the present
shape OF the bill * virtually the result
Of mutual concessions made by the sev-
eral governments.
The tenor of the bill shows that the
imperial government mean, To treat
American meats fairly and on theIr
merits. The option was given the
Bundesrnth 10 trent American meats
with greater severity, and corresponds
with similar power resting in the Sec
rotary OF Agriculture ON our side re-
gardiug certain German imports But
the enforcement OF the option will re-
quirc specific proofs that American
meats are injurious, and that Is out of
the question. The bill will not be an
uuuitigated evil for American interests
Hitherto in Germany there has been
no confidence in our meat inspection,
but there Is almost sacred confidence in
German imperial inspection. Hence
forth any american meats cXpos~d for
sale Will be known to have been otflcial.
~ approved, aud the result will be an
increase in business, probably doubling
our sales.
The only paragraph in the bill which
is capable OF mischief il unfairly APP
piled is the one which sets forth that
all imported meats must come in GER
tain cuts and parts. We cut our meat
differently from the Germans. SO mis-
chief may Turk in that paragraph,
However, the German government will
not apply the hill unfairly. as il fully
realizes that there would Be- no wisdom
in such course, seeing that we hold
trump cards in retaliation.
