HAS MAUNA LoA EXPLODED?
II 1t Has Hawaii May Have Gone the Way
ofVernes Island.


San Francisco, July 22.-The officers
.f the steamer Australia, which ar
rivtl yesterday from Honolulu, say
it would not surprise them ohear that
there had been a fearful explosion at
the great Hawaiian volcano, and that
Mauna Loa is no more. After leaving
Honolulu the ship ran into remarka-
bic cross sea which the crew thought
was caused by submarine disturbance
OF unusual force. a blush vapor hung
over the water for days and heat
cloud shaped like an umbrella came
borne on the winds from the direction
of the volcano. When talking about
the eruption of the volcano Chief Of
ficer LawleSs said:
THE afternoon we left Honolulu the
evening papers contained the news
that the lava flow was within ten miles
of Hilo and travelling steadily. The
inter-island steamers were crowded
with passengers. Some of the people
were going to view the eruptions and
others were going to see how their
families and relatives were faring. In
my opinion the whole crest has been
blown off, and if the waters of the sea
have found their way into the crater,
then the whole island has been shat
tered. In no other way can l account
for the peculiar experience we had aft
er leaving Honolulu.

ROOT FOR WAR SECRETARY.
Position rendered the New Yorker and
He Accepts.


Washington, July 22.-Elihu Root,
of New York, has been rendered and
has accepted the secretaryship of war.
The tender was made last night,
and the telegram of acceptance re-
ceived this afternoon. The president
leaves for the Adirondacks the middle
of next week. 1t is expected Root
will consult with him there.
The question of the appointment of
a successor to Secretary AIger was
the subject of a conference last night
at the White House between the presi-
dent and Senator Thomas c. Platt, of
New York, who came on a late train.
The conference lasted about an hour
and afterwards Phtt said that the
president had about decided upon the
person to whom he will tender the
position, and that an announcement of
his name would be made very soon
probably today.
The senator was non-communicative
as to who the appointee probably will
be, saying that he did not feel at hber-
ty to talk Of what passed at the con-
ference. A good understanding exists
between the president and the senator
regarding the secretaryship, notwith-
standing that General Greene was the
senator's first choice. as Senator Platt
said in speaking of the prospective ap-
pointment that I'VE did not disagree
as to the man for the position

FILIPINoS SURPRISED.
Mo- as the First Report Had 1.-THE Lit
tie Force of Captain Byrnes-

Washington, July 22.-The dispatch
printed in yesterdays papers stating
that natives had surprised" Captain
Byrnes' command was an error in one
very important respect-the surprise
was on the other side. General Otis
yesterday cabled the war department
from Manila: Captain b. A. Byrnes,
Sixth infantry, with seventy men, sur
prised united robber bands in Negros,
numbering $50; killed lis. wounded
many, captured few rifles and revolvers
and many hand wagons, and a large
quantity of stocks. The fighting was
at close distance. Byrnes' loss was
one killed and one wounded. This ac-
ton was very beneficial for the quiet
of Negros."
Scene of Capt. TiIIey's Murder.
1t was at Escalante on the Island of
Negros that Captain TiIley, of the
signal corps, was ambushed and MUIR
dered by the natives on May 81 last.
Ii is supposed that the band of robbers
who were so severely punished by
Captain Byrnes' command were a part
of the same marauders. The signal
service has just compiled a report on
this occurrence made up from reports

Rains Stop Military Operations.
Manila, July 81, ;: 40 p. m.-The un-
precedented rains of the last week have
convinced observers here that military
operations on a large scale or advances
covering many miles will be impossi-
BILE for a long time. Many miles of
the country are flooded to a depth of
three or four feet. The Paranaque
bridge, which was considered i'm
pregnable, has been swept away, cut
ting off temporarily the garrisons of
linus and Bacoor from communication
with Manila. In the circumstances it
would be impossible to move wagon
trains, as the trails have become doubt
ful. Pack mules will be utilized if 1t
should become possible for soldiers to
make marches. The officials will have
their hands full for some time in ar
ranging for the departure of volun-
teers and in settling the regulars who
are replacing them.

Street Cars in the Copper Country.

capitalists are again agitating the idea
of putting in a street car line around
the copper country and the people here
are making a big demand for the line.
The one objection is that the mining
companies do not want to allow the
lines to run across their properties,
and they own so much of the territory
that the lines cannot possibly get into
the business portion of the town with
out crossing it. Petitions asking for
the franchises have been circulated
and largely signed by business men.

Springfield, Ills, July 22.-The state
executive committee of the United Mine
Workers of America held a meeting
here yesterday, presumably to consid-
er the matter of asking Secretary
Treasurer w. d. Ryan to resign his

into a secret agreement with the Pana
operators before the trouble there was
submitted to the state board of arbi-
tration that the Pana mining rate
should not exceed 30A cents per ton.
1t is also charged that Ryan accused
the militia with firing at Carterville
in order to be kept there, which upon
investigation was found to be ground
less. Neither President Hunter nor any
member of the board would give out
the least information regarding the
meeting.

made against him. but denied they had
been considered by the board at yes

Claim End Of the World to be
Near.

Aaron. o., July Sl.--The annual
meeting and conference of the Seventh
Day Adventlsts Of Ohio opened at
Randolph Park today. The service
will continue for the next ten days.
About 1000 members of the sect are in
attendance. They are living in tents,
which are scattered through the grove.
Rev. R. A. Boardman, of Mt Vernon,
said today that the end OF the world
was near at hand.
1--WE believe in the near coming of
Christi" he said THE signs indicate
that the destruction of the world will
come soon. I'll not set date, but the
signs are very strong that the end is
near very near. Noah was many years
in building the ark He was scoffed at
when he preached about the destruc-
tion OF the world by flood. We are
sometimes scoffed at, yet we are faith
full in our belief, and have just as good
assurance that Christ will come as di-
Noah that the earth would be destroy
ed by food. The twenty-fourth
chapter OF St Matthew contains in 1t
reference to many of the signs indica-
tive that the world is near the end,
The twenty-ninth verse of that chap
ter reads; Immediately after the
tribulation Of those days the sun shall
be darkened, and the moon shall not
give her Tight, and the stars shall fall
/ from heaven, and the powers of the
heavens shall be shaken Now, recall
that on the ISth dav of November,
1888, it was dark throughout the en-
< tire day. no moon shone the night fol-
lowing, and the stars fell in showers.
The twelfth verse of the sixth chapter
of Revelation also refers in prophesy
to the DARK day, reading: And l be-
held when he opened the sixth SEAL
and 10, there was great earthquake;
and the sun became Dlack as sackcloth
/ Of hair,an the moon became as blood
might cite many other instances
which gives us good reason for believ-
ing that the world is near the end"
