AFTER 4 THIEF
The Police Are Looking for a
Hotel Burglar.
A SUSPECT UNDER ARREST
He Declares Innocence-Was Bell

Lady's Room.
SUSPECT UNDER ARREST

All day yesterday the police were on
a still hunt for man who burglarized
the Hawaiian hotel on Wednesday
night. Late last evening Detective
David Kaapa came to the station with
John Massa, and had him incarcerated
to await an investigation, which will
be held today
On Wednesday evening Mrs. VIM. T..
Haskell of Minneapolis, received some
friends in the hotel parlors. She sent
her son Willie to her apartments on
the second floor to secure some pic
lures. Master Willie, in performing
his errand, had neglected to close Mrs.
Haskell's trunk, and later in the even
ing it was discovered that some money
and iewelry had been taken from the
room
Mrs. Haskell at once reported her
loss to Manager Lucas of the hotel,
who Immediately notified the police.
The robbery was complete surprise
from thieves for many months, and
such a thing as a robbery had not been
dreamed of. Mr.. Lucas could not sus-
pect any of the employees about the
hotel
Marshal Brown delegated Chester A.
Doyle to investigate the robbery. Mrs.
Haskell reported that she had lost $50
in money, two valuable gold rings and
some other jewelry. Mr.. Doyle inter
viewed the Japanese servants in the
hotel but found that they knew nothing
whatever about the stolen property.
In the afternoon the suspicious of
the police were turned toward young
Massa He is employed at the hotel in
the capacity of bell boy and was on
duty Wednesday from noon until 6
O'Clock. He remained on duty until s
o'clock, two hours overtime. 1t was
shortly after this time that the robbery
occurred.
Young Massa was to have gone on
duty at o'clock last evening, but his
arrest by Detective KAPPA prevented
that. Massa protests that he is inno-
cent. The lad is about 16 years of age
and lives with his parents on Punch
bowl His father is a Japanese and
his mother a Portuguese. Massa has
been employed at the hotel for some
time and has given good service and
was believed to be thoroughly honest.
Manager Lucas is much distressed
over the affair. He says that the guests
are in the habit of allowing their val
uables to lie openly about in their
rooms. Notices have been posted up
about the hotel cautioning against this.
He feared to have too many tempta-
tions about. 1t has been Mr.. Lucas
policy to give employment to honest
and reliable people. He regretted deep

noon every available room on the ship
belonging to an officer, steward, car

A BUSINESS PARABLE.

Once farmer had 1900 bushels
of wheat, which he sold not no a
single grain merchant but to 1900
different dealers, a buehel each.
A few of them paid him in cash,
but far the greater number said it
was not convenient; they would pay
later. A few months passed, and
the mans bank account ran low.
'How is this he said, "My 1900
bushels of grain should have kept
me in affluence luntil another crop
is raised, but l have parted with
the grain and have instead vast
number of accounts, so small and
scattered that l cannot get around
and collect fast enough to pay ex-
penses.
So he posted up a public notice
and asked all those who owed him
to pay quickly. But few came.
Thc rest said, mine is only a small
matter, and / will go and pay one
of these days" forgetting that
though each account is very small,
when all we're put together they
meant a large sum to the man.
Things went ON thus. The mau got
to feeling so badly that he fell out
Of bed and waked and running to
his granary found his 1900 bushels
of wheat still safe there. He had
only been dreaming.

Capture Of lO|LO.
It Was a Soft Snap in Taking

THEY DIDN'T TOUCH US.
The Rebels7sBurnt 2 the Town on
Evacuation and Scattered in YS
all Directions, After
Their Hellish
Work.

Manila, Feb. 14.-Particulars of
the capture of Iolio by the forces
under Brig. Gen. NJ. D. Miller on
Saturday last have been received
here. On the morning of Friday,
February 10, Gen. Miller sent an
ultimatum to the commander Of
the rebels on shore, notifying him
that it was his intention to take
Hoilo by force If necessary. Non
coubatants and foreigners were
warned to leave the town within
twenty-four hours. The rebels
were also warned that they must
make no further beligerent pre-.
parations
The gunboat Petrol was then
moved to a position close in shore
and near the rebel fort, while the
cruiser Boston took up her station
at the other end of the town.
Friday passed quietly. During
the day many refugees left the
town of Iloilo. The majority of
them we're taken on board foreign
ships lying in the harbor.
Searchlights from the United
States warships were kept all night
long illuminating the town and
its defenses. The rebels, so far as
the Iockouts on the ships could
discover, remained quiescent
throughout the night.
At eight o'clock on the morning
of Saturday, February IL, the gum
boat Petrol signaled to the cruiser
Boston the rebels were working in
their trenches. Il return the
Petrol was ordered to fire warning
shots from her three FOUNDERS
This was done and the rebels re-
piled with harmless fusillade.
The Boston and the Petrol then
bombarded the rebel trenches, com
pletely clearing them of their oc-
cupants ia a very short time. Soon
after the bombardment began
flames broke out simultaneously in
various parts of the town. There
upon fourty. eight marines actiae
as infantry and artillery, were
landed from the cruiser Boston and
a company was sent ashore from
the gunboat Petrol. These detach
ments marched straight into the
town of Iloilo and, hosting the
stars and stripes over the fort, took
possession of the place in the name
of the United States.
The capture of the town and its
defenses having been accomplished
the marines and soldiers who had
been sent ashore proceeded to the
task of saving the American, En-
glish and German consulates from
destruction by the fire which was
raging among the flai and in6am-
able buildings of the town. The
Swiss consul's residence, which was
in the same row as the consultates
named, was burned. The entire
Chinese and native section OF the
town we're destroyed, but foreign
mercantile property escaped with
slight damage.
