DIAMOND HEAD CHARLIE TAKES
A FISHING sCOw.
Has an Exciting Race in the Channel
The Kinau and the Doric Also Have
Race.

Diamond Head Charlie in a Japanese
hshing scow trying to catch the Doric
in the channel, a race between the
kinau and the Doric and a rousing pro-
Tgramme by Berger's band made lively
scenes on the Pacific Mail wharf at
noon today.
The Doric broke all records for prompt
departures. She cut loose from the
wharf at five minutes past twelve AS
a result of this unexpected promptness
number Of people arrived on the
wharf with letters for San Francisco
too late to get them on board
Collector-General Stackable was one
of those whose mail was not on board
when the steamer pulled away. Kinney
BallOu and McClanahan all three ar
rived on the wharf with some very i'm
portant letters at just the same time as
Ed Stratemeyer brought the collectors
important mail. A boat was secured
and the letters were put on the steamer.
Then Diamond Charlie appeared on
the scene with two letters. The Doric
was slowly drifting out. Charlie made
a dash across the wharf and chartered
the only thing in sight, japanese fish
ing boat. Two Japs got in with him and
began to scull for dear life, while
crowd of their countrymen on the wharf
yelled enCOura gements at them.
The Dorics propeller began to cut the
water and she moved On before the
Diamond Head lookout man could make
connections. Charlie had to come back
with his letters.
When the Doric passed the lighthouse
the Kinau was Just pointing outwards
i'm the harbor. Captain Clarke took her
this time, Captain Freeman being laid
off on account of his eyes. The Wilder
captain put on full steam and outside
the channel the big steamer end the lit
tie steamer were abreast. The Kinau
forged slowly ahead and was in the lead
off Waikiki. Then the directions Of the
boats began to change and the Dorc's
propeller began business at full speed.
The Gaelic, anchored off the harbor,
pulled up her anchor as the Doric went
out and c"~ne in to the whlte. She g"'S

Liberty Congress of the American
League of Anti-Imperialists today en-
phatically indorsed the candidacy of
William j. Bryan for President. The

heated debate, but when the previous

voce and it's exact result will never be
known, but the sentiment of the con-
vention was clearly shown as being III

BRILLIANT MANOEUvRE OF GEN.
DE WET.
Evaded all the Traps" set for Him,
Joins Delaney and Turns and Makes
Thousands of Prisoners.

DELAGOA BAY, August 1S.-General
De Wet has turned on the British, de-
feated them and captured 900 men, ac-
cording to BOer reports here.
De Wet who stands out now as the
Morgan of the war in the Transvaal
has given Lord Roberts the slip, esca-
ped from that Generals innumera BILE
traps and succeeded in effecting a june
tion with General Delaney. Then,
turning suddenly upon the British, he
Ge4ea,ed them, capturing seven Gns
and 1000 prisoners.
This magnificent maneuver on the
part of the Boer General stamps him as
the greatest actor on the chessboard of
war in South Africa. Every General in
the British service has had De Wet
"Cornered' a one time or another.
Kitchener and Butler have worn their
commands to a shadow chasing him
1000 miles over Veldt and kopje, and
now he has not only escaped. but turn
ed and given a terrible blow to his pur-
suers.
LONDON, August 1S.-The Saturday
Review is deeply chagrined at the es-
cape of the Boer General. De Wet. The
paper says the blunders in the pursuit
of De Wet were due to sheer incompe-
tency. Lord Roberts. it says, is running
the risk of losing his laurels by his in
eXplicable failure to bring the war to
an end.
Nobody can now pretend that we
have got or can get any credit out of
the war" continues the paper. "That
we failed is owing to a want of intel
ligence. which muddled away our op-
portunity."
The Review" article is headed Are
We a Nation of Fools?"
The Government is arranging to re-
lieve Lord Roberts in South Africa de-
putting to a General of less consequence
the veXatious work of running down
the partisan bands there. The present
purpose, it is understood, is to recall
Lord Roberts i'm October, announcing
then that the war, as a war, is at an
end.
General Wolseley will relinquish the
post of COmmander-in-Ch of the
army in October and Lord Roberts will
almost certainly replace him.
PRETORIA, Aug. 19.-Lord Roberts
proclamation reciting the fact that
many have broken the oath to maintain
neutrality and that the leniency eN-
tended to the burghers is not appre-
Ciated. warns all who break their oaths
in the future that they will be punished
by death, Imprisonment or fine. He de-
clares that all burghers in districts oc-
cupied by the British except those who
take the oath, will be regarded as pri-
soners of war and transported, and that
buildings on farms where the enemy or
his scouts are harbored, will be liable
to be razed.

Is HE HERE.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4.-Charles L.
Strange, an arthitect, who was city su-
perintendent of buildings during Mayor
Eader's administration is reported to
be at present in Honolulu. although
when he left here in the latter part of
June he gave out to his friends that he
was going to Mexico on business affairs
connected with his profession. From
the fact that Mr.. Strange gave up his
offices in the Henne block shortly after
his departure from this city, it is ar
gued that he has no intention of re-
turning.
This view is strengthened by the fur
ther fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Strange are
alleged to have had matrimonial dis
agreements several months ago, and
that they had parted. While a resident
of this city, Mr.. Strange prospered and
handled many important building con-
tracts in this section, among which was
that of the Santa Ana court house, Mr..
Strange left no unsettled matters be-
hind, and there are no creditors to be-
wall his departure.

AMERICANs IN THE VAN.

WASHINGTON, August 1S.-The dis
patch from General Iamaguchi, giving
the details of the capture of Peking was
accepted by the War Department Off
cials as giving the most satisfactory
account thus far received General Na-
maguchi is in command of the Fifth
Army Corps, with the rank of Major
General, and is regarded as one of the
lighting generals Of the Japanese army.
His report discloses for the first time
that the Americans shared in the as
sault on the city and that they marched
with the British troops to the south
gate, while the japanese and Russians
operated against the east gate.

news FROM CHINA

LONDON, August 81, 3:55 a. NJ
owing probably to the Peking wire be-
ing cut, little news of conditions in the
Chinese capital has come through this
morning. What has reached London in
dicates that the allies are in need of
re-enforcements.
The commander of the Italian cruiser
Fieramosea. te ls graphs from Taku that
very urgent requests were coming from
Peking on Saturday for the immediate
dispatch of further troops, and that in
answer to these 400 Italian marines
We're sent off post haste.
The Japanese Minister in London is
said to have received a telegram last
evening announcing that subsequent to
the entry into Peking Japanese de-
tachment went to the imperial palace to
afford whatever protection was neces
sary. The enemy was in strength and
fighting was still proceeding when the
message was sent to Toxic. The main
body of the Japanese was then at the
An-Tlng- Men gate, in the Tartar city,
with headquarters at the Japanese le-
cation.
Reports of the presence of the EN-
press Dowager are still contradictory,
but General Yung Lu, on the authority
of the Shanghai correspondent of the
STANDARD" is announced to be a
prisoner, by orders of the Empress, in
the Imperial palace.
This, perhaps" says the correspon-
dent, lis a good thing, as detention in
the capital will enable him to negotiate
with the allies commander which he
would do as Prince Tuan's enemy"
The Chinese Minister in London, Sir
Chih Chen Lo Feng Luh, on being
asked as to the whereabouts of the
Empress Dowager and Emperor, re-
piled,
"They have gone westward to the old
capital, Hsian-Fu, and L think they are
quite safe there"
Serious trouble is now threatened in
the neighborhood of Canton. The Anne
ricans at Swatow, according to the
Daily Mail, says that a warship is on
the way there now.
A Japanese warship has left Yokoha-
ma for Shanghai, according to the Daily
Mail, to land troops and to protect ia
panese subjects. The Daily Mail also
announces that Germany will land de-
tachment at Shanghai. Further Yoko-
hama advices to the same paper declare
that Germany and Russia are objects
of distrust to the japanese press, which
urges that Japan, having borne the
chief burden of the operations, must see
to it that the future OF China is not de-
termined merely by the pleasure of the
western powers. 1T is felt" said the
correspondent, that determined action
on the part of Great Britain, the United
-uBp puB lIaAB IIIM uBdBr puB s5lBls
ger arising from the ambition of con-
tinental Europe"
The semi-ohicial organs say that If
occasion arises japan can send $4,000
troops on short notice, and that If the
powers are incllnedCto play selfish
game, special nleasutes will be neces
Sary.
