May 4.-The board of health has decided
that if no further outbreaks of plague
occur in Honolulu before April 80 all
quarantine will be raised on the morning
of that date
The council of state adjourned sine die
on the 23rd instant The most important
happening of the session was the adop-
tion of a resolution, the principal idea
of which was a request to President Nc
Kinley to instruct the Hawaiian execu-
claims to consider all losses pccasioned
by the burning of infected premises.
Although there has been no actual or
ganzation of a native party in Honolulu.
everything is tending in that direction.
The native element favorable to the
monarchy are the leaders in this move
ment. At the same time. very large
number of Hawaians who favored the
republic and cast their fortunes with it
are inclined to join this new movement
and will probably do SO. The central
plank in the platform of this party Will
be to protect native interests. In other
words, it will be anti-republican, demos
cratic or anything else in the field

SANDON TOTALLY DESTROYED
NO LIVES WE'RE LOST-PROPERTY
LOSS BEING A MILLION.
Heroic Efforts to Check the Flames
Were Made in Vain-Relief
Greatly Needed.

Spokane, Wash, May A special to
the SpokesmanReview from kaslo, B.
c., says:
Sandon, the second mining town in i'm
portance in the SLOGAN, has been COM
pletely destroyed by fire and nearly all
it's 1900 people are homeless and ruined.
Kaslo is % miles from Sandon, but about
midnight large clouds of smoke came
rolling over this town from Sandon. At
once word went out that Sandon was de-
stroyed, but no news could be had from
the desOlate town, as all wires had been
burned.
At 4 p. m. a train came in from Sandon
bringing a number Of those who lost all
their property. They reported that the
! total loss was between $500,000 and ST.
100000, while the insurance could only
have been about $4,000.
The alarm was sounded shortly after
midnight and quickly the streets were
| filld with hundreds of men and women.
The flames started between Spencer S
hall and Browns store. Two streams
| seemed to hold the flames in check for
awhile. Then one stream gave out and
the flames spread rapidly. After that it
| was only a matter of the fire burning
| itself out The Miners hospital and a
drug store were blown up in an effort to
stop the flames. By this time all the
lower part of town, including the tender
loin and many business places, were
gone. Then the firemen blew up the
) Echo hotel, one of the finest buildings in
the Kootenay country, the Canadian Pa
cific railroad station and other buildings
! in order to save the valuable stores of H
! Geigerich and H. Byers & Co. This was
accomplished. Half dozen other build
! ings at the extreme ends of the town
We're saved, including the electric power
! house. The rest of the town was drawn
| into the maelstrom of flames.
| Relief measures were taken quickly
i The officials of SandOn donated $500 and
mining men there contributed $1,000
kaslo raised $1S00 and sent up a special
! train with large supplies of food. tents
and clothing. More relief is needed.

SECRETARY ON STAND.
Todd Describes Youtsey's Actions at
the Time of the Murder.

Frankfort, Ky, May Sat the night
sitting of court, ex-State Auditor l.. c.
Norman testified that prior to the as
sassination he overheard Judge George
Denny of Lexington say:
Somebody ought to kill Goebel and
Governor Taylor ought to pardon the
man that did it,
He said the tenor of Denny's conversa-
ton was that Goebel's death would save
the lives of other people. Witness COM
municated the remark to Goebel.
McKinzie Todd, private secretary to
Governor Taylor, said he saw Culton
and Youtsey at the governors office sew
eral times. He did not know Jim or
Berry Howard He saw armed men
around the governors office on the day
of the mountaineer excursion. Asked if
he saw any guns in the Office of the sec
retary of state the witness said he saw
two there on the Saturday prior to the
assassina ton. Youtsey was in the room
and later picked up one of the guns and
took a position near the window. He
asked YOutsey what he was going to do.
Youtsey said he thought there was trou-
BILE in the legislative building and that
"if it started he wanted to be prepared"
Youtsey said he would not start any
trouble but would be prepared to protect
the building if it did start.

MILES, SHARP CRITICISM.
Does Not Approve of Disappearing
Gun Carriage Adopted.

New York, May 5.-A special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton says:
General Miles makes a sharp criticism
of the engineering department in the
disappearing gun carriage matter, in
which he characterized the arguments of
Gen. John NJ Wilson, chief of engineers,
as academic
General Miles also takes occasion to
pay his respects to the futility of the
furious fire of SIMPSONS fleet at the an
cient artillery of Spain at Santiago.
General Miles points out that the dis
appearing gun carriage had been used
in this country to the exclusion practi-
cally of all others. General Miles con-
tinues:
THE conclusion to mount upward of
80 per cent of our modern high power
coast defense guns in deep pits on dis
appearing carriages was apparently
reached after long continued academic
discussion of the subject in successive
annual reports of the chief of engineers
This conclusion is not believed to be
based upon any practical results of fire

Morrow.

st. Louis, May 5.-The celebration In
honor of the visit Of Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey to st. Louis was practically con-
cluded today with a military and civic pa
rade of organizations from all parts OF

attend meeting of the military order OF

will bepurely an informal affair. Tomor-
row morning at o'clock the admiral and
party will leave for Memphis. Excursion

loads Of sightseers and for hours before
the parade was scheduled to start, the
streets in the business district were
packed almost to suffocation.
Shortly before l o'clock the admiral ac-
companied by Lieut.. Caldwell and @. l..
Whitelaw, left the Planters hotel and
was driven to the corner of Washington
and Grand avenues where the parade
was formed. A moment after his arrival
the signal for the start was given. All
along this route the admiral was kept
busy bowling to the greetings of the null
titude. AT 18th and Olive streets in front
of the exposition building the cheering
and waving of flags was almost continu-
Gus. The admiral and his party alighted
and ascended the grand stand and re-
viewed the parade which occupied near
ly two hours in passing. At it's conclu-
sion he was driven to the Planters hotel.

The place mentioned in Lord Roberts

error General Ian Hamilton seems to
be midway between Houtnek and Wynd-
burg and has thus got between Wynd-
burg and General Olivier's command
from Wepener. which is occupying Tha-
Patchoa. Between Thabanchu, Lady
brand and Wyndburg the country is
rough and suited for Boer tactics, so the
British are liable to be considerably har-
assed before they capture the strong
hold.
Experts differ as to whether Lord Rob-
erts is bound towards Kroonstadt or in
the direction of Bethlehem. The latter
place is the terminus of the line joining
with the Natal railroad at Vanreenan's s
pass, and the capture of that place would
probably compel the Beers to leave the
Drakenburg range, and thus open the
way for Geenral Buffers advance. The
British will have to repair the bridge
over the Vet before the railroad between
Brandfort and Wyndburg becomes avail
able.
