MAUNA LOA VOLCANO.
The Stream Of Lava Flowing Tow
ard Hilo Changes It's Course.

HONOLULU. July % (via San Fran
cisco, July 3O.-The latest report from
the volcano of Mauna Loa received to-
day by way of kalaieha is to the effect
that great change took place in the
course of the lava flow on the night of
July 18th. The mighty stream of burn
ing lava which was steadily flowing to-
ward the town of Hilo and threatening
its destruction has fortunately been
diverted in it's course, so that the dam
ger to life and property is less immi-
nent than at the time of the previous
mail advices from here.
Ever since the flow began, July 4th.
the course of the principal stream of
lava has been from the highest active
cones down the mountain nearly due
east, past all the sources of lava, until
it reached and partly crossed the flow
of 1880. Then it turned abruptly to
the north in the direction of Kalaieha,
on the side of Mauna Loa. 1t spread
all over the side of the mountain, oc-
cupying an area almost a mile wide.
This was the condition of things up
to the night of July 18th. Some time
during that night the first part of the
stream, flowing eastward, broke
through it's banks about half way from
its source, to where it turned north
ward, and formed a new channel run
ming northward down the mountain
parallel with the old channel, but fur
Their west. This is carrying the lava
less directly toward Hilo, and keeping
it nearer the ridge (which divides it
from the slope off in the direction Of
the Kohala coast.

.Donnish Trick Suspected.

Manila, April 1S (9:45 a. m. Fran
cisco Reyes, the man who recently
purchased the Spanish gunboats at
Zamboanga, island of Minandano,
has received advices to the effect
that the feet sailed for Manila and
returned few days later with the
vessels stripped of their guns and
ammunition. The purchasers agents
and native crews for the vessels on
board the American steamer Butuan
were conveyed 10 Zamboanga by the
United States cruiser Boston and
were instructed TO await for the ar
rival there OF the United States gun
boat Petrel Instead of doing this,
after the Boston sailed from Zambo-
anga the Spaniards transferred the
gunboats to the agents Of Senor
Reves and the feet left Zanboanga
unescovtad. They soon returned and
reported having been boarded by
rebels who removed the gunboats'
armaments. If the Instructions oi
the American naval commander had
been obeyed their capture would
have been impossible.
Zamboanga is fortified and still
garrisoned by Spaniards, and the af-
fair is regarded ns suspicious.

Goodwater and other points in the

Superintendent Benedict stated to
a Capital representative that there

after. The object of his visit is to
discharge the present superintend-

been running for some time, yet the
superintendents are drawing 500 per
month. This expenditure will be
stopped at once,
1t is stated, not by Superintendent
Benedict, however, that in some in
stances the superintendents and
others have been in the nation houses

ure would have to be foregone, as
the jewel from the furnishing
house had not yet reached here, an
incident regretted by all. The
grand secretary was instructed,
however, to forward the jewel to
Brother Turk Immediately upon its
arrival.
When the 6:1O evening train ar
rived from the north the valuable
package also arrived and was
promptly delivered to the grand
secretary.
At late hour a meeting of Pa

most delightful and pleasing incl
dents of the days work was intro
duced, namely, presentation of the
Grand Lodge jewel to Past Grand
Master n. q. Turk. The presen-
tation speech. which. under the
surrounding circumstances, was a
concise, neat and novel effort at
oratory. was delivered by that tai
ented gentleman and brother, G.

few well chosen remarks, expressed
his profound thanks for this mark
of esteem, and said if he should
live ore thousand years he hoped
by the grace of God, to wear that
jewel untarnished by the name he
bore.
Surrounded by the Patriarcbs, a
love feast of congratulations was
showered upon Bro. Turk, who re-

Revenue Law Pulling

Col. p. II. Hunt, internal revenue
collector for the fourth district of
Texas, makes public the following
rulings on the bearing of the war
revenue law:
Dallas, Tex, April 10, 1S99.-Sir:
am in receipt of your letter of the
9Th instant, which reads as follows=
ION Nov. - last, wrote you in
regard to checks requiring a stamp
when they were drawn by depositor
and presented for payment by them
selves. On the 2sth of same month,
you wrete me you had ruled that
such checks required a revenue
stamp, but stated you would let US
know if you got decision showing
that it was not necessary. Since
then we have heard that quite a num-
Der of banks in Texas do not require
stamps on the aforementioned
checks. Will you kindly let me know
if that is correct, or does your former
ruling still hold?"
In reply, 1 have to say that the
only method of getting money out of
bank without stamping the instru-
ment upon which it is drawn, is
simple receipt handed over the coun-
ter by the depositor in person, who
receives the money in his own hands.
Any other method is an evasion of
the law and wish to say in this con-
nection that any banker who per-
mits money to be withdrawn from
the bank upon checks without
stamping, Notwithstanding they arc
presented in person by the depos-
itor, is violating the revenue law.
