DEMPSEY GETS A MEDAL
HONOLULU'S HERO IN THE WAR
WITH SPAIN.
He is the Only Man in the Tenth Penn
sylvania to be Given a Medal by Con-
gress.

Walter +. Dempsey, who enlisted at
Honolulu in the Tenth Pennsylvania
volunteers, on their way to Manila. has
won medal from Congress for bravery
in action. He is the only member OF
the pennsylvania regiment to earn that
honor and one of the very few in the
entire Eighth Army Corps, Dempsey ia
Californian by birth and an ex-Stau-
FORD student. When the Pennsylvanians
stopped here on their way to fight the
Spantards i'm the Philippines, he Joined
company r, and during the fighting
that followed the arrival at Manila ne
won the highest praise of his superiOrs
Young Dempsey earned his medal on
the gunboat Laguna de Bay. Captain
James A. Loa of his company gives the
following account of the young soldiers
doings: During severe, engagement
ON the river the native pilot deserted
his post, driven to shelter by the storm
of bullets that whstled about the wheel.
Had We drifted ashore at this time we
should have been at the mercy of a
horde of Filipinos. Young Dempsey
stepped forward and took the wheel and
ne remained exposed, with Mauser but-
lets lying thick arOuru him, keeping
the boat in the channel till we reached
a place of safety.
When Major Grant. who was in com
mand of the Laguna, returned, he senr
a recommendation that Dempsey De
given medal by Congress for his hero
ism. | endorsed the recommendation
as strongly as l could and it was also
warmly approved by Colonel Hawkins.
Dempsey is a splendid soldier and de-
serves the medal. 1t is a very high
honor to be the only soldier in the hard
fighting Tenth Pennsylvania that gets
a medal from Congress"
Major Grant is not less strong than
Captain Loa in praise of the young
man who went to the war from Homo
lulu. In twentyth three engagements
young Dempsey never failed to do hrs
whole duty" said the major. He re-
peatedly took the wheel under dan
gerous fire and I should have recon-
mended him for a brevet, but for the
fact that he was an enlisted man and
II was therefore not possible to do So
There Will be only three or four to get
medals in the entire Eighth Army
Corps"

YACHT NORMA IS WATCHED
EXTRA FORCE OF POLICEMEN on
GUARD.
Commodore Weaver Says Mr. Percival
Is Coming Here-F'ive Policemen
Watch Through the Night.

Mr.. Percival the friend and compani-
on of Commodore n. J. Weaver in Yo-
kohama. is coming to Honolulu, saws
the latter. The commodore saws his
friend may be expected any time from
San Francisco and is likely to come in
on the Australia next week Mr.. and
Mrs. PerCival left Yokohama on the
Nippon Maru for San Francisco, pass
ing through here, on her last trip.
Commodore Weaver says that Mr.. Per-
clvais intention was to return to Ho-
nollllu after transacting some business
in California. When Mr.. Percival ar
riVes. says the yachtsman there will
be lively times for the assailants of his
reputation, both here and in Japan
Last night police boat with five Off
GERS aboard anchored near the Norma
and kept watch through all the dark
ness, lest she spread her white wings
and sail away. The officers stayed on
guard till daylight. The commodore
says that there is no danger of his GO
ing, however. and that the unusual
vigilance of the police was wholly un-
necessary. The bOttomry bond will be
settled here he declares.
This morning Commodore Weaver
had another consultation with his at
torneys, who are endeavoring to
straighten out the legal tangle in which
his beautiful little floating palace has
become involved.
The Norna's value is rated as high
as $5O,OOO and the alleged debt for
which she is attached amounts to ONLY
$4,000 1t is said that Commodore
weaver is making arrangements to re-
lease the vessel and that he will leave
in few days on his contemplated trip
TO the South Sea islands. On board
the vessel are his sister-in-law and her
maid and crew of eight men. The
Norma, both above the water line and
beneath the deck, is one of the most
handsome vessels that ever came here

WHITE WINGS ARE READY.
LA PALOMA AND GLADYS WILL
SAIL AT ..
Boats Start Together and Both Are
Certain of Winning-Return Likely to
be at Night.

This afternoon will witness the start
of one of the greatest yachting races
ever attempted in this country. The
start will be made at o'clock. The
yachts will move up the bay, will be to-
gether at a line just opposite the light
house and will than strike out.
off Diamond Head each boat will
make as near straight line as possible
to the leeward side of Molokai. As the
wind will be favorable this will be easy.
The heavy part of the trip will come
from Molokai to Lahaina, run OF
about twelve miles
The distance to Lahaina in a direct
line is Y miles. 1t is estimated that the
course taken by the yachts will be
about 100 miles. Both boats expect to
cover the distance in from twelve to
fifteen hours, but will hardly do So
The passage from Diamond Head to
Molokai is very rough and from there
to Lahaina is uncertain
Nearly all the yachts of the first, sec
and and third class fleets are planning
to go out this afternoon. They will take
the Diamond Head course. returning as
soon as the two racers pass the point.
None of them will go the round trip. as
it is a big undertaking.
1t is almost certain that the Helene
will challenge the winner in todays
race to another spin over a different
ing that the Bonnie Dundee might also
be placed against the victor for a long
race.
The challengers expect to return dur
ing Sunday night. 1t win hardly be pos
sible to get back in the day time as the
sail will be against the wind almost all
the way. News of the event has reach
ed Lahaina and the yachtsman rather
expect to be met by some of their
friends at the buoy. Circumstances will
determine the length of time to be spent
there.

THE ENGINE TOO SMALL.
Reason for Delay in Dredging the
Naval Dock.

Reason for Delay in Dredging the
Naval Dock.
A new and larger engine has been or
dered by the California Construction
company for the dredger at the naval
dock. The repeated trials of the ma
chinery that have so far been made
nave demonstrated the difficulty of do
ing the work with the present power
ana efforts We're made without success
to get a larger engine here The dis
tance to be pumped is unusually long
Tor such work and a heavy engine will
be requkSd.
The neWNengine win be sent from San
francisco as soon as possible. but can
not arrive before several weeks In the
meantime work is going ahead and an
other trial with the present machinery
VIII be made this afternoon
The delay incidental to the securing
OF new machinery will probably mean
an application for an extension of time
on the contract with the Government.
The Construction Company is required
To finish by the first of next March, but
may be compelled to ask for more time,
owing to the necessity of waiting for
machinery

RACE JURIEs AT FAULT.
Why There Are so Many Miscarriages
of Justice.


Henry Smith, chief clerk of the Judi
ciary Department. writes regarding the
conviction of huffman by jury and
his. pardon by the Council of State on
the ground of innocence:
1t IL not the fault of either of those
bodies but, as in the case of the courts,
the fault of the system itself which the
courts are not responsible for, the crea-
tion of race juries being a matter rest
ing with the legislature which. it is to
be hoped, will be eliminated from our
statute books. Under the circumstances.
the conviction of Ruttman and the ac-
quittal of his accessory was not a sur
prise nor was it a new thing. The rec
ords of our courts are full of acquit-
tails of that kind. Take, for an instance.
the case of the Italian Loomens who.
in 1889. was found guilty of treason by
foreign jury and sentenced to be
hung. The principal defendant was a
Hawaiian who was let off by a native
jury: there are many other such cases.
Therefore the right of reviewing judi
Cial sentences and Of exercising the
pardoning power is a solemn matter
which should not be scorned but up
held; it affects the very liberty of the
person

KAMALO SALE POSTPONED
is DONE AT THE REQUEST OF
STOCKHOLDERS.
In the Meanwhile a Prospectus Will be
Issued Showing all Details-Treasurer
Frank Hustace Talks.

The Kamalo stock sale, advertised 10
take place at noon today, was this
morning postponed for two weeks.
This was done by the directors at the
request of the holders whose assess
ments had lapsed. Six holders signed a
written request to the directorate that
the sale be deferred.
There has been considerable street
talk lately about Kamalo. None OF ii
could be traced to responsible author
ity, however. The cause of the talk, as
stated by some of the delinquent hold
ers, seemed to be the fact that no regu-
lar prospectus has ever been issued by
the concern and many felt in the dark
as to what the intentions of the COM
pany are. To the directors this morn
the holders represented that they want
ed to see prospectus. following which
they would decide whether or not to
keep up the payments
Frank Hustace, treasurer of the COM
pany, made this explanation to the
holders: "A prospectus has been au-
thorized and will be issued as soon as
it comes back from Manager McLane.
AT the organization of the plantation "a
statement of the situation as far as we
could go was published. 1t was decided
to publish prospectus and the same
was prepared. There has been some de-
lay in getting part of the land requir-
ed by the plantation and the manager
did not care to send out the prospectus
until this matter was settled
To-day everything is in good shape
and there is nothing to interfere with n
complete prospectus. AS 1 said before
the same will be issued as soon as pos
sible. The company has no desire to
force q sale of stock upon which assess
ments have not been paid if the hold
ers wish to keep up their payments. In
other words the directors purpose doing
the right thing and will not have any
freeze out games in the business"
