Homes Where White Had
First Engagement.
GEN. METHUEN AND FRENCH
Have Placed Their Men in the Best
Places for Forward M0veS-FOr-
mer Had a Skirmish and Drove
the Enemy From the Brush.

London, 1928 p. M, Jan. 19.-Messages
from the front appear to confirm the
general impression that events in Natal
will now move quickly. though hardly as
rapidly as the. tongues and pens of rumor-
mongers. There is nothing up to the
present to support the story that the re-
lief of Ladysmith is an accomplished fact.
but 1t Is learned on excellent authority
that the situation is now regarded at the
war office with entire confidence and that
the beleaguered town is considered prac-
tically relieved, altnough there is no at
tempt to underrate the danger and diff
Guilty of Buffers task.
AS suggested in these dispatches yes
terday Warren was actually in .le vicin-
ity Of Acton Homes Wednesday and a
portion of his force under Lord Dundon-
aid secured an important position west
ward Of that place during the evening of
Jan. II, on the Beers right right flank,
threatening the Free Staters' communica~
tion with their own country by way of
VanRenans pass. The British camp out
side of Ladysmith ought to be visible
from there as the intervening country is
open.
Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett. M. p. who
has arrived at Fort Rensberg, Cape Col
ony, expressed satisfaction with French's
disposition Of his troops. He visited
Coleskop yesterday while the shelling of
the Beers camp was proceeding with such
! success that it is announced on good au-
thority that 16 Beers and So horses were
killed.
Advices from Capetown say Webster
Davis, assistant secretary of the interior
at Washington, sailed from Port Eliza
beth Monday for Delagoa bay. 1t is un-
derstood the imperial yeomanry will be
leavened before that force goes to the
front with considerable detachments of
experienced colonials acquainted with
Boer tactics.

Persistent Smelling,

Spearmans Camp, Natal, Thursday
evening. Jan. 18-The Boer trenches have
been persistently shelled by naval guns
all day long. Small parties Of Beers were
seen at intervals and large force from
the direction Of Ladysmith were seen
trekking towards the northwestward of
the British position. A balloon did good
service in observing that Lyttleton's
force made demonstration in the direc-
tion Of the Brakefontein kopjes, four
miles north Of the British position, under
cover OF a heavy artillery fire to which
the Beers did not respond. On the left
General Warren's troops are now in pos
session Of two prominent kopjes behind
Spienkop. There was some Boer sniping
but 1t was Ineffective. The Graafrienet
Beers evacuated Prieska, January Is, and
returned nOrthward across the river.

Hopes Of the PoerS.

New York, Jan. 19-An idea Of the high
hopes entertained in the Transvaal re-
public of the outcome of the war with
Great Britain is given in a letter written
by E. Houthakkorr, assistant station
master at johannesburg, to his sister in
Brooklyn. The letter was sent in Novem-
ber by way Of Lorenzo Marques. The
letter says in part:
1--WE are getting used to it bit now.
Since October fifteen or more letters
reached us from beyond the Transvaal A
solitary cable dispatch manages to come
through occasionally, but then it is week
old. At first still maintained cores
pondence with Capetown but that is no
| more possible now. The Beers are scor-
ing an enormous success and have al.
| ready conquered the biggest part of Ma
tai. They are pushing already into Cape
Colony, where they are Joined by the
burghers. Kimberley is likewise COM
pletely surrounded as we'll as Mafeking,
while in the northern part of the Trans
vaal the Beers are already beyond our
boundaries. On every side the British are
getting a good thrashing. The internal
arrangements here are excellent. All the
English have left the country. Order is
beautifully maintained. The Beers still
remaining may be seen daily leaving for
their various commands.
{.
All the male population has been drafted
| into special constabulary. No one is
allowed out after 9 p. m. With the ex-
ception of ten mines which are being
worked by the government all the mines
on the rand are shut down.
up to the present $500 English are
prisoners, among which are fifty officers,
and 5000 are slain. Our loss does not
| amount to 200 including the dead and
wounded. 1t sounds like a miracle.
1T still looks doubtful who will come
out ultimate conqueror. but as things
look now. the burghers stand a good
chance. No fighting has occurred on their
own country. The supply of food is plen-
tiful. The English soldiers are not worth
| much and surrender easily. Already two
of their generals are dead. Cape Colony
will revolt.
mo doubt it will surprise you to see
me having changed thus, but that could
not be otherwise after having witnessed
everything. 1t is now clear that Cham-
berlain's sole aim has been for three years
to make war against the Transvaal and
obtain possession, Of it's territory"

GIVE HILO MONEY.

Delegate Loebenstein has good rea-
son to believe that his mission has not
been devoid of good results, and that
he has done not little to clarity the
atmosphere by clearing up the storm
clouds between Honolulu and Hilo.
Mr.. I.oebenstein says he is satisfied
with his mission. If he can secure cor
dial endorsement from those he repre-
sents, the repeal of useless regulations
and hearty cooperation with the local
authorities. every thoughtful citizen
will Join in the love feast and forget
that Hilo ever lost its head.
Having reached an understanding
whereby the official machinery can run
without unnecessary friction, 1t now
behooves Hilo and the whole island of
Hawaii to center its efforts on secur-
Ing an appropriation for sanitary i'm
provements. 1t is fact that Hilo Is
in no position TO combat the plague or
any other epidemic Not q few por-
tons of the town furnish as good ex-
amples of unsanitary conditions as
Honolulu's Chinatown ever did. No
better time than the present will offer
to deal with this situation. Hilo has
an opportunity to profit by the mis-
takes Honolulu made in allowing the
business center of the town to grow up
heterogeneous mass of Chinese
shacks.
with the people thoroughly aroused,
small amount OF money will now Sc
cure for the people of the big island the
promotion of improvements that viii
be permanent and of vast importance
to Hilo's future as well as supplying
present necessity.
Hilo's appeal will likely be met with
the statement that an emergency does
not exist hence the Council Of States
emergency funds cannot be used. II
would seem that Honolulu had gained
sufficient experience in waiting for the
emergency to arise before doing any
thing. without forcing the same situa'
ton upon Hilo.

In the absence of the official func-
tions. always dear to the heart of our
local Executive, Mr. Dole and his
Cabinet might give Hilo's delegate an
official call previous to his departure.
Opportunities for displaying official i'm
portance will soon be at an end so far
as present figure heads are concerned.
Mr.. Loebenstein will unquestionably
be happy to detail to the people Of Ha-
wall how the Executive carried itself
just previous to its taking slide on
the official toboggan chute.

Captain Perkins never eXpounded u
more self-evident truth than is con-
tanned in his statement that improve
ments in Hilo harbor will depend on
Hilo's pull in Congress. Getting money
from Congress for harbor improve
ments is mighty slow business for such
important ports as New York and San
Francisco. If there is any extensive
work authorized for Hilo or Honolulu
harbors in the immediate future Ha-
wall will hold the record against the
most influential commercial centers of
the United States.

Honolulu Is now in much the same
position as q convalescent patient--do-
ing well. but great care is necessary to
guard against relapse. AS was point
ed out by the Citizens Committee re-
Gently, particular care should be taken
during the coming weeks. Under pres
ent conditions an isolated case of plague
need not be of serious import. Tenn
porary carelessness due to over conf
dence. however, may start the epidemic
worse nan before. Constant watch
fitness for the next two weeks will
settle the question.

With the returns coming in from the
largest crop of sugar Hawaii ever pro-
duced, the prospects of general finan-
cial crash in Honolulu were never more
remote. 1t is the mercantile class with
whom the restrictions on trade fall
with most severe force. Thus is the
necessity of the small merchants act
ing as an organized force made mani
fest. The wholesalers income is as
sured, while the rtailer is lucky If he
makes both ends meet these days.

HEALTH BOARD MEETING.

At a meeting OF the Board OF Health
yesterday afternoon there We're present
the following: President Wood, At
torney General Cooper. +. J. Lowrey,
+. NJ. Hatch and DR.. Emerson.
President Wood brought up the mat
ter of the Queen hotel lease, saying he
had received letter from Rev. Azbill,
the lessee, asking that 500 in advance
be paid down at once by the Board Of
Health. He had leased the place for
no specified time and, as there seemed
TO be good indications that 1t would
hardly be needed further, 1t might be
well for the Board of Health to take
some steps toward allowing the place
to go back to the lessee.
President Wood stated further that
the only occupants Of the large hotel
building were the members of a white
family from the Palace Square block.
Their time was about up. In the cot
tage were the people from the Board
man house. 1t was finally decided to
give up the Queen hotel as soon as the
period of quarantine of these people
shall have expired.
