POUNDS OF OPIUM
SEIZED.
Dropped Overheard After Midnight
From the China and Hauled up This
Morning by Customs Officers.

a clever capture of 1i2 half pound
tins of opium was made this morning
by two customs guards acting under
instructions from District Inspector w.
II. Drummond. The opium had been
sunk in the ocean with "a block of wood
attached to a rope and string. BY
means of the floating piece of wood the
smugglers hoped to locate their prop
erty, but the guards saw the nOat and
hauled up the opium and it is now in
the Government warehouse.
The opium was left behind by parties
on the China, who had cOnfederates
here Inspector DrummOnd thinks he
knows who the COnfederates are. but
they landed no booty, and there is no
evidence against them that would war
rant prosecution.
The China left port shortly after mid
night this morning. Drummuud's sus-
piCions were aroused by the activity of
some of those on board and he kept a
sharp watch for smuEglerS. As the
steamer headed for the open sea, he
sent guards w. II. Kealakai and D. Ke-
kona out after her, with instructions to
intercept any boat that returned and
search for opium or other dutiable
property. The guards remained out all
night There were no developments un-
til nearly O'Clock this morning, when

and came out of the channel past the
lighthouse. 1t is supposed they We're

either could not see it or were afraid to
haul up the package below.
When it grew lighter the guards saw
the bit of wood and investigated AS
they lifted it out Of the water, they
found a fine black thread attached to it.
They hauled up about hundred feet of
this thread and then came to rope. at
the end of which was a cork buoy. Over
a hundred feet of rope was pulled i'm by
the guards before the sought for bundle
came in sight. 1t was a large oil bag.
Inside was a canvas sack and blankets
wrapped around the 122 tins of opium.

as sinkers. The opium was taken
ashore and placed in the Government
warehouse as cOnfiscated property

HIS VISIT TO SAMOA AND THE
FIJIS.
Gives His Views of the Complication at
Apia-British and German War YES
sells There.

The Rev. Alfred Willis of Iolani Col

returned last night on the Warrimoo
from visit to Samoa and the Fiji ISL
ands, where he went as the representa-
tive of the Bishop of London to hold
confirmation services in several church.
es. The Samoan and Fiji Islands are
at present in no diocese of the Anglican
church, this according to the establish
ed custom, places them in the care OF
the Bishop of London, as are all mis-
sions and churches in English colonies
or settlements, that are not parts of
some diocese.
Bishop Willis first stopping place was
Apia, where he found the commission
ers of the powers who are trying to ar
range a government, just completing
their labors.
1T is impossible to express an opln-
ion as to what is likely to happen next
in Samoa" said the bishop. "The tri-
partite arrangement was still in force
when l left but it is of course not sat
isfactory. AS long as there are three
powers trying to get ahead of one an
other the islands cannot go ahead, but
no one can say how any of the powers
are to be induced to withdraw. The
British warships Torch and Tauranga
were at Apa when l arrived, and one
German ship. The Tauranga was re-
leVed by the PyladeE. There was no
American war vessel in the harbor.
Il stayed at Apia over one Sunday
and then left for LeVuka on the Fiji
group. At this place we had confirm
alton services and / laid the corner
stone of a new church. A steam launch
carried me to Suva, now the govern
ment seat and principal city of the Fiji
Islands. There are two Episcopal
churches at Suva, one for the English
and another for the natives.
81 found the church work to be quite
successful in these far southern groups.
the status of their churches is some
what peculiar, in that though they are
regularly organized EpiscOpalian
churches, they are in no diocese. The
Bishop of London looks after them aud
my visit was undertaken as his repre-
sentative"
Bishop Willis left Honolulu on the
Mariposa on July 10Th. Returning he
took the WarrimOo at SuVa on the 23d
of last month He reports a pleasant
trip and says he was much interested
in observing the religious work i'm the
places visited, and to which he had not
been before.

CORONERs JURY CRITICIzEs DIR
HOWARD.
Recommends That He Attend to Bust
ness a Little Better-Will be More of
the Matter.

The corOner's jury appointed to inves-
tigate the cause of the death of Ane the
woman who expired shortly after being
removed to the hospital a few evenings
ago, deliberated yesterday afternoon
and returned the following verdict:
THAT the said Ane, Hawaiian wo-
man, came to her death at Honolulu,
Island of Oahu on the 2Sth day of Au-
gust, A. D. 1899, of pneumonia; and we
further find that medical attendance
was neglected and would recommend a
closer attention to duties on the part of
the physician at the Government Dis
pensary."
The verdict is signed by ]. H.
Schnack, E. r. Biven, w. F. Love, w.
E. Bivens, S. Kubey and George Dill
ingham.
Before the coroner's jury DR.. Cooper
testified that the woman was uncon-
scious and in a dying condition when
she reached the hospital and died two
hours and half later. He refused to
give certificate.
Pa, husband of the woman, testified
that the dispensary physician sent pills
to the patient but did not visit her
Woman did not visit the doctor. because
witness could not afford hack fare. Wit
ness insisted Monday morning that the
doctor see the patient. He replied bye
and bye Went for doctor again. He
arrived at 5 o'clock in the afternoon
and moved the woman an hour later to
the hospital. Patient was unconscious
all of that day. Witness considered
patient in dangerous way from Friday.
Doctor had not seen woman at all be-
fore giving medicine.
DR.. Howard testified that he had seen
the woman once, on Wednesday. She
called at the dispensary. She had cold
and was constipated. Gave her medi-
cine for both. DIR. Howard later stated
that he could not swear that the woman
who called was the same; she gave the
same name. When the man called Mon
day morning he was apparently in
liquor. He said DR.. Humphris was at
tending the patient. Witness saw DR..
Humphris and that physician said he
was at the house the night before. 1t
was a hard matter to get anything out
of the native man.
Dr. Humphis testified that he called
on Sunday night to see the woman. At
the house he found medicine prescribed
by Dr. Howard. He told the people
that they had best continue with DR..
Howard, as the woman was in a serious
condition and the dispensary physician
was the only one familiar with her case.
The patient was then unconscious with
pneumonia, and he could get nothing
out of her.
Several natives in the house testified
to substantially the same effect as Pa.

This morning an official copy of the
evidence and verdict was submitted to
Attorney General Cooper, and there will
be an interesting second chapter to the
case.
