THE STORM PROBABLY COST TWO
LIVES.
Waimea Bridge is Demolished, the
Wharf Partially Wrecked and A
Launch Knocked to Pieces.

The Noeau and Waialeale arrived
this morning from Kauai ports with
further particulars about the recent
storm, showing it to have been worse
than former reports indicated, a con-
siderable amount of damage having
been done. Two Japanese fishermen
are supposed to have lost their lives,
the Waimea bridge was destroyed and
the Hanapepe pump was flooded by rain
water. Max Schlemmers launch at
Waimea was wrecked.
The Noeau was at Waimea when the
storm came and Captain Wyman soon
found it necessary to start for the open
sea. He did So not waiting for purser
Adams to come from shore. Adams
went overland to Hanamaulu and got
on board there
The two Japs who are thought TO
have lost their lives were in a fishing
boat at Waimea. After the storm was
is supposed to have been blown away,
and both men are thought to have been
drowned.
The steamboat men unite i'm saying
that the storm was the worst they have
experienced. The rain swelled the river
Waimea so that its torrents broke
down the bridge at Waimea, and the
structure collapsed into the stream.
Schemmers launch was an old craft,
which has not been used N lately.
1t was torn from it's moorings and brok-
en- up on the rocks.
The wharf at Waimea was also
smashed by the force Of the waves,
which broke over it with unprecedent-
ed fury.
The steamer Waialeale was at Ahuk-
nj when the storm began and left for
Hanamaulu. She was not able to make
port there and started back to Ahukini
Inc steamer was 10 hours and so min
utes at sea between Ahukini and Ha-
namaulu.
Paul Isenberg had one of the tough
est experiences of the storm. He was
seen last Thursday about s miles from
Lthue in hack that was stuck fast in
the mud. Rain was falling in torrents
and there was a bowling wind and the
hack could not be moved along the
swamped road by it's horse.
Assistance was sent for and after a
long wait a team came to the rescue
and Isenbeg was driven to Lihue.

DEATHS OF PORTUGUESE ON
PUNCHBOWL STREET.
Silva's Alleged Wine Making in His
Little Resort-Inquest to be Held on
Monday.

a solution of ant poison, with alcohol
and sugar o make it attractive to the
insects, is said to have been the stuff
that killed the three Portuguese on
PunChbowl street. DR.. Shorey has not
yet made his report to the police de-
partment, but he has found a poison
in the compound submitted to him for
analysis. He will probably be ready to
make full report as to its nature on
Monday when the inquest will be held
Since Silva senior died there have
been many charges that he ran a priv
ate distillery and sold wine on the
quiet and it has been charged that this
was done under police protection.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth says he
will summon all the witnesses that can
be found to tell anything about Silva,
and the alleged wine-making. No wine
was found on the premises unless
poisonous mixture can be called wine.
Chillingworth this morning stated
that the allegations about protection"
were made carelessly and We're
a great injustice. SILVA had a small
place and was making almost nothing
out of it," said the deputyS and the
idea of his trying to buy policemen is
absurd to anyone who knew him. If
anyone knows of any witnesses that we
do not summon and who is able to
tell anything l shall give such people a
chance to have the witnesses summon
ed"
The inquest promises to be quite a
lengthy one.
Up to this time the expert is at sea
as just what caused the death of the
men. He still holds to the view, how
ever, that the methylated spirits alone
did not do it but that some foreign
material i'm it was the destructive fac
tor. There is hardly a question but
either honey or brown sugar is also
contained in the concoction.
The physician having to report on
the autopsy on the body of Joa1uin
Silva, held Thursday, had a misfortune
in losing most of the material required
in reaching a speedy conclusion as to
the operation of the poison in the dead
man. 1t was mucus, etc, from the
stomach. Had this been preserved in
quantity, the result could have been
earlier reached. Portions of the organs
and a quantity of blood was preserved
and from that an analysis can be made,
but the process will be longer.
DR.. Pratt still holds to his view that
he did everything in the nurseryman' S
case that the law allows or requires
TIe claims to have the most convincing
evidence that he did not die of "un-
natural causes.
A burial permit was this morning is
sued for Joe Cabral the foreman for
H. II. Williams. This funeral will oc-
cur tomorrow afternoon. All the other
men whose deaths We're reported on
Thursday have been buried.

GENESIS OF A RUMOR.
Origin of the Report of the Wreck of
the Santiago.

The Hawaii Herald gives an account
of a rumor which was absolutely un-
founded, but was widespread, persls-
tent, and expensive to the Matson line
of sailing vessels. The ship Santiago
sailed from Hilo for the coast "A week
ago Thursday. Friday evening, about
the sailing time of the Kinau, rumor
spread about that the Santiago had
gone ashore on the Puma coast. r. T.
Guard, the agent of the vessel spent
most of that night Investigating the
source of the rumor, only to find 1t con-
tinually repeated and more and more
positively asserted. The next morning
he chartered the Kilauea Hou to go in
search of the wreck. Just before start
ing he received a note saying: "Eldert
has just come in and gives the news
that the Santiago is ashore between Po-
hoiki and the Cape The Kilauea Hou
coasted down the region but found
nothing and returned to Hilo to meet
the positive statement that the body of
Captain ingalls, had been washed as
hOIe and that three natives had come in
from Puma and reported the wreck on
the Puma coast about nineteen or twen-
ty miles out.
The next day the origin of the ru-
NOR was discovered. Richard Lyman, a
member of Company ID, had just come
in from a cattle drive dressed for that
work booted and spurred and wearing
broad brimmed hat. He went to drill
i'm that dress. After drill he mounted
his horse and started home. His APP
pearance suggested RooseVelts Rough
Riders to someone and whoever 1t was
conceived the idea, shouted out, there
goes Roosevelts Rough Riders" Ly-
man shouted back, You bet, off for
Santiago"
Some one heard this reply but prob
ably did not hear what it was in res
ponse to, seeing Lyman gallop off con-
cluded that it must be to the ship San
tiago that he referred, and presumably
chat If he were going to her on horse
back she must be ashore, and so the
story of the wreck started. The con-
Lfrmation from the lips of the three Pu-
9la natives sprang up like Johahs gourd
Yfrom the fact that they repeated in Hilo
what the mail carrier going out of Hilo
had told them. The exact genesis of
the floating remains of Captain ingalls,
being washed ashore has not yet been
| traced

SCHOONER ROB ROY HAD A
FOREIGN MASTER.
Customs Authorities Refuse to Allow
Her to Go to Sea With a japanese
Captain.

The schooner Rob Roy was held this
morning by the custom house authori-
ties under peculiar conditions. She was
violating the law which requires that
she shall have an American citizen for
a master, being an American vessel,
and the men who were running her,
thinking that they were wanted, y
skipped out, sieaving the vcssc' with no
one in charge.
The schooner is owned by ]. Wilson,
who chartered her to a hui of Japanese.
She had native captain named Kuahi,
who was discharged when the Japs
took hold. They put one of their own
men, a Japanese subject, in command
of the vessel and the custom house
refused to allow her to go to sea with
out an American in command, as pro-
vided for by law.
The Japs seemed to take fright at
the official interference and this MORN
ing when a customs man went on
board to straighten the matter out
they were nearly all gone. A cook and
one of the deck hands was on board.
and the custom house man left without
accomplishing his mission. In the
meantime the schooner is held.
The Rob Roy is one of the largest of
the island schooners. She was Ha-
waiian vessel whose registS was
changed to American with ali others
under the Hawaiian flag at the time of
annexation. The law requiring Ameri-
cans to be in command applies to all
the island vessels.

McKINLEY AND sousA.

German historians of the Pan-Teuton
alliance say that President Mckinley
is of German descent and allege that his
original name was Max Kuhne, which
was changed in the United States to
Mckinley. A story equally absurd is
told by these Teuton enthusiasts about
Sousa, the "march king" Sousa's ori-
ginal name, according TO one of these
authorities, was Simon Ochse. The
name Sousa he adopted only after a
friend had called his attention to the
initials on his (Sousa's trunk, namely,
S. o. u. S. A., meaning, Simon Ochse,
United States of America. THE Portu-
guese name Sousa," says this wisacre,
"is better suited to his much-admired
appearance, and the common everyday
name of Simon Ochse therefore, disap-
peared from the posters.-Chicago Re-
cord.

consul GENERAL AUSTIN
REPRESENTATIVE OF LIBERIA
TALKS.
No Doubt About His Position in The
Corps-Confrmation of an Old APP
pointment-Some History.

Franklin Austin, consul-general for
Liberia, thinks too much notice has
been given to his office and himself in
connection herewith. OF course Mr..
Austin is a modest man and, moreover,
does not appreciate fully the import
ance of a consulate under the great
African Republic in the Paradise of the
Pacific.
MY appointment came on account of
an incident of more than thirteen years
ago. At that time l was made COM
missioner of the president of Liberia to
effect an exchange of decorations with
King Kalakaua. l was met in London
by representative of the Hawaiian
ruler and there made the proper trans
fers
"The decoration presented to Kala-
kaua was one of five issued. Subse-
quently l was decorated with one of
them in recognition of my services to
the Liberian government.
Later on my attention was called
to the fact that having decorations in
this country the president of Liberia
should be represented here. OF course
1 well knew that there were no com
mercial relations between the two coun-
tries and probably never would be. The
only work of a consulate would be the
exchange of ordinary courtesies by
mail, department reports, information,
etc, and while the office has not been

our reports have been of advantage to
Liberia.
well, my suggestion was followed.
/ was appointed consul-general and w.
Q. Parke was made vice-consul. Things
went on that way. There being no
business connected with the Office as l
said before, people lost sight of it and
during my absence from the country I
believe the consulate was eliminated
from the official calendar. 1 had al
most forgotten about 1t myself
Il understand that when a list of the
consular representatives was sent to
Washington some months ago my name
as consul general of Liberia was among
them. AT any rate ! know the appoint
ment was reaffirmed by the government
at MonroVia and l am fully qualified"
Mr.. Austian was asked if he expected
any Liberian cruisers or battle ships in
very soon. He looked sadly toward
the sea and let out as much as said he
did not think they would be along this
year anyhow. Hawaiian trade with Lii
IBERIA has not been very large but the
local demand for malos keeps up and
there may be chance yet In these
days of imperialism. when all states
are casting about for trade, Hawaiian
merchants do not feel that a good
chance should be lost and they will
doubtless take this opportunity of de-
Yeloping a considerable commerce with
Liberia, in malos and pnan pjips,
through Mr. Austin.

H|LO ALSO HAS A STORM
ROUGH TIMES ON THE BIG
ISLAND.
The Kinau Arrives Here at Seven
This Morning After Very Lively
Trip.

The Kinau arrived at about seven
O'Clock this morning, the storm having
prevented her from calling at many
ports which she usually visits. She re-
ports very rough weather at all the
windward ports, heavy rains at Hilo
and gales on Hawaii.
The road to the Volcano house is said
to be all blocked up with trees blown
down by the wind and the heavy rains
sent floods down the mountain side.
Hilo itself is enjoying one of the wet
test experiences it has known.
The Kinau left Hilo at eight o'clock
yesterday morning, when the storm was
abating a little but the sea was as
rough as ever. She made a stop at
KOhala district, going to Multi instead
of to Mahukona to take passengers on
board. Landing was impossible at Ma
hukona and all the passengers from
the district went to Multi A start
was made for Kawaihae, but the Kinau
found it too hard a trip. Captain
Parker decided after bucking the
weather for a time to turn back, and
he started for Maui.
Makena was reached at eight o'clock
last night and here also the sea was too
rough for any work. The mail was
landed, however. The Kinau made no
effort to stop at Maalaea, which she
passed at about 10 o'clock, sighting the
Mauna Loa off port. 1t was too rough
for the steamers to enter. AT Lahaina
also the storm prevented any stop be-
ing made and the Kinau started home
wards without having any communica-
ton with the shore.
The trip was one of the toughest the
Kinau has ever made, and the passen-
gers on board had a very lively sP Ak
ing UP.

The MINER CASE IN COURT
MOVES TO QUASH
ANSWER.
Question Being Argued Before Humph-
reys This fternoon-Widemann Es-
tate-Antone Not Convicted.

The Miner divorce case has occupied
the attention of Judge Humphreys all
of this forenoon and this afternoon ar
gument was resumed at 1:3O o'clock.
Attorney j. A. Magoon is at this time
making an earnest appeal in behalf of
the amended answer of DR.. Miner to the
original bill He has stated that the
doctor waited to the last day before
the case was to come to trial before he
would file his amended answer, dis
closing family secrets and his opinion
of the character of the petitioner. DR..
Miner hesitated and waited in the hope
that Mrs. Miner would come back to
him and save the penalty of family
jar from the shoulders of their daughter
said Mr.. Magoon.
DR.. Miners amended answer to the
bill was filed yesterday and was quite a
sensational document. 1t stated that
Mrs. Miner had for a long time had a
desire to go back to England, and had
thrown hardships around him to make
him dissatisfied with life in Honolulu.
He had built up a lucrative practice
here and could not afford to start all
over again in another land. In his an
swer the doctor specified that his wife
entered the operating room and inSulted
female patients undergoing treatment,
and also insulted other patients. He
said that her attitude around the house
in not performing the ordinary routine
of home duty and in making it hot
for him, made life almost intolerable.
This morning Mrs. Miner, by her at
torneys, filed motion to dismiss the
answer. 1t is this matter that is now
under debate and consideration.
The petitioner objected to the an
swer on account of it's new and separ-
ate allegations. Objection was made
to the allegations themselves.
In the matter of the trustees of the
Widemann estate VS.. Emilei Macfar-
lane, ct al, bill for construction of will
distribution of property and discharge
of trustees, Martha Berger, Herman A.
Widemann and Anna Widemann have
filed an answer consenting to the dis
tribution proposed by the trustees. 1t
is likely that the other heirs will file a
like consent.
Ellen A. Pollyblank has filed her bond
in the sum of $3.50 as guardian of the
Wray Taylor minors James Wakefield
is her surety.
The trial of John Antone in Judge
Humphreys court came abruptly to a
close yesterday afternoon by the court
taking the matter from the jury and or
dering the discharge of the defendant.
Accused was charged with forging the
mama of a school teacher to a salary
warrant and cashing the same at the
store of the Manufacturers Shoe Com
pany. The prosecuting witness was not
present and the government was unable
to make a showing that would Justify
a complete hearing.
Judge Humphreys has signed the or
ders for partition in the two petitions
preferred by Genevieve Dowsett against
the other heirs of the Dowsett Estate.

DIED ON THE KINAU.

A Japanese named Fijukawa Makicht
died on the Kinau at Mahukona last
night. He was a passenger from HilO,
where he had been i'll for some time.
The body was brought to Honolulu and
the facts of the case were reported by
the police to DR.. Pratt. There were no
suspicious circumstances and there will
probably be no inquest. Heart disease
was the cause of death.

THE ONLY THING TO DO

HILOO, November 16.-In view of the
big majority given Wilcox on Kauai,
any alteration which could be brought
about by declaring the Hilo election
void or by holding a new election
would be immaterial. The only thing
to do now is to kidnap Wilcox and lose
him, though it would be difficult to lose
man with his strength of lung and
jawbone.-Hilo Tribune.
