BERETAN|A SCHOOL HOUSE.
WILL BE BUILT TO SEAT FIVE
HUNDRED PUPILS.
A Counterpart of the Palama Build
ing-Twelve Rooms-Where Pupils
Will Come From

Bids will shortly be opened for the
construction of the new Beretania
street school house on the Plains. The
work on the foundation has already
been begun. John Ouderkirk is the
contractor for this part of the job. Rip
ley & Dickey drew the plans for the
building.
The Beretania street school house is
to be practically a counterpart of the
Palama building. Like the latter it
will have twelve rooms and all of them
will be on the same plans. The lines
of the house will be the same. One
difference will be i'm the finish of the
roof and the caves. In this the Bere-
tania building, being a later effort,
will show improvement over the other.
The new building will go on the
premises of the old Beretania street
school at Piikoi and Beretania streets
1t will take up almost half of the
center of the lot. There will be con-
crete walks to the streets on either
side of the building and the grounds
will be greatly improved.
The Legislature really appropriated
money for a ten room building on Ber-
etania street, the twelve room idea be-
ing one of the department of educa-
tion some time later. 1t was shown by
Inspector General Townsend that it
was merely a question of time when
twelve rooms would be necessary. Af-
ter the contract for the Palama build
ing was let it was seen that enough of
the appropriation was left to build the
twelve room house at once. Thus It
came about
The Beretania street school district
extends from South street to Diamond
Head There were in it at the time of
the last census 522 pupils of the school
age, attending the following schools:
Kauluwela, u; Kaumakapili 2; Ka-
moiliili, As; Waikiki, 6S; Royal, SO; and
other schools. 300; attending no school
whatever, AZ.
The 300 pupils in the above, whose
schools are not named it is proposed
to take into the new building and to
discontinue their respective small
schools in the district. Kamoiliili. Wal
kiki and Royal schools will be left
practically intact. The pupils from the
district attending Kauluwela and
Kaumakapili will be drawn away from
those schools 1t is expected that the
school will start off with from $50 to
500 pupils, which will probably be as
| great as the Palama school enroll

SAMOANs FIGHT OVER ELECTION
OF A KING.
Malietoa and Tamasese Confirmed-At-
tackled and Defeated by Mataafa--
Complications Ensuing.

AUCKLAND N. H., January 1S.-Sa-
moan advices just received here say
that Chief Justice Chambers, on De-
cember 31st, declared Malietoa Tanus
to have been elected King, in succession
to the late King Malietoa. The chief
justice also announced that Tamasese
had been elected vice king. Chief Ma
taafa was disqualified.
The Consuls of the United States and
Great Britain and the captains of the
German warship Fake and the British
warship P)rpoise, met the German
consul, who refused to recognize Mali
etoa Tanus and declined to cooperate
in the disposal of the Samoan, who
thereupon assembled in large numbers
at Mulinu, armed themselves and
surrounded the municipality. Malietoa
Tanus and Tamasese mustered about
1000 men, well armed, but supplied
with defective ammunition. The Brit
ish and American cOnSuls endeaVOred
to avert hostilities, but fighting was
commenced on January 1st. Malietoa
Tanus and Tamasese fought bravely,
but 500 of their followers We're Captur-
ed. Then, disheartened ana outnum-
bered, the two chiefs sought refuge at
the British warship and their follow
ers sought protection under the guns
of the Porpoise Mataafa's loss was 81
killed and wounded, and Malietoa Ia
nus lost IL men killed and wounded.
The foreign residents We're placed
under the protection of detachment
of men belonging to the British ship.
and Chief Justice Chambers and his
family went on board of her.
The followers of Mataafa looted and
burned Apa, destroying the planta-
tions and pillaging considerably in the
country.
The consuls decided to recognize Ma
taafa and his chiefs as a provisional
government, pending the receipt of in
structions from the powers.
Afterwards. Dr. Raffel and the Ger
man consul closed the supreme court,
declaring that the power was vested
in them. The British and American
consuls then appealed to the captain
of the British ship Porpoise, who land
ed a force of blue Jackets, and Chief
Justice Chambers, under their guard,
took his seat.
Mataafa held aloof from these last
developments. The excitement con-

THE WRECK ON HAMAKUA
is SOME VERY LARGE WOODEN
VESSEL.
Name and Character Unknown-She
enden has Gone to Investigate.

The Noeau brought some confirma-
ton and some further particulars of
the wreck on the Hawaii coast, the
first news of which was brought by
Captain Henningsen of the Upolu. The
account given by Purser Thomas G.
White of the Noeau is that two natives
in a canoe going from Waimanu on
the Hamakua coast to Kohala, found
the hulk of large wooden vessel at
Aqua. The hulk was in four pieces.
The stern was buried in the sand on
the beach, while the other parts were
in the water There was a torn and
bedraggled American flag fastened to
one part of the wreck.
On the beach near by was the distig-
ured body of man. The head, both
hands and one foot were gone. The
natives were not able to make out
either the name of the vessel or wheth-
er it was bark or a schooner or ship,
or in fact anything beyond the fact
that it was a large wooden vessel.
They left the body on the beach and
brought the news to kohala. The XII
nau on her way to Hilo drew in close
to Aqua but was unable to see the
wreck, doubtless because it was so
nearly buried beneath the sand and
water.
Sheriff Ovenden of Hamakua was to
start today in boat to investigate the
nldJJeT. Inc leIS III VI lue llille II Will
take will depend on what kind OF
weather and seas he encounters, as
this is a rough coast
What is believed to be a part of the
wreckage has been found at Wal
manu-.
An impression gained currency that
the hulk found was that of the w. H.
Starbuck, which burned at sea last
November, 1000 miles to the southeast
ward. The only reason for this conjec-
ture, though, is that after burning to
the waters edge she would probably
drift to near this point. But if the
body found belonged to the wreck it
can hardly be the w. H. Starbuck, as
! Captain Mcdonald took everybody off
the Starbuck before leaving her. 1t is
possible however that the body has no
connection with the wreck except that
| it has drifted from somewhere to the
| same place.
Mrs. Judge Moaunauh of Honokaa,
| who came on the Noeau, gives the
same account of the discovery.
1t is hardly probable the Kinau will
be able to give many more particulars
! than those already obtained.

for Hawaiian fruits and vegetables, he
is fortunate in having a plantation of

POSTAGE STAMPS SHORT.
Two Cent Denominations Wholly EX-
hausted at Postoffice.

There are no two cent stamps at the
general postoffice. This shortage will
occasion no end of inconvenience. 1t is
not satisfactory to use two stamps OH
an island letter when one will suffice,
and twice the number of ones will
have to be kept for insular correspon-
dence.
1t was seen last fall that, unless the
American postal regulations were soon
extended over Hawaii there would be
a shortage of stamps of the two cent
denominations so, in November a
quantity was ordered from the manu-
facturers in New York This order
has either gone astray or the printers
have considered it too late in the day
for Hawaii to be wanting stamps 9TH
er than American.
Another shortage is In one cent pos
tai cards. These cards are also used
for island correspondence. There are
none left and will probably be no
more at the postoffice.

A LITTLE COMMON SENSE.

Do you want home, or do you in
tend paying rent all your life? Now
is the time to decide. 1t wasn't long
ago when you might have had block
of land on the PLAINS for a trifie-
you thought that it was too high at
any price. Relieve your mind of such
pessimistic ideas and BUY a LOT AND
BUILD A HOME. Don't you think
your family is entitled to this consid
Grafton. GO TODAY and look at the
PAWAA TRACT of land. Study it's
situation on the two principal high
ways of this city-the boulevards of
Honolulu-on the line of the proposed
electric lines-facing Beretania and
King streets. Size of lots 75X140,
PRICE, 81 600. Terms, $3.50 cash, bal
ance in monthly installments. Building
is cheap, and you may build upon max
ing your first payment.
The same influences that have oper-
ated in the past will operate in the flu
ture. Look at the many buildings go

their cost and realize that the present
opportunity for investment or specu-
