DRILL sCOM SINK.

The drill scow, which has been work
ing at the new navy wharves, was cap
sized on Saturday at about noon by a.
premature blast underneath where 1t
was moored. A charge Of dynamite
knocked a hole in the bottom of the
scow and 1T turned over and sank. A
force of men was at work all day yes
terday with a diver, trying to raise the
scow and apparatus. With the aid of a
donkey engine, they succeeded in get
ting it up, and it is now being re-
paired. The machinery is a good deal
damaged.
The drill scow has been used for
blasting the coral at the bottom of the
harbor where it is too hard for the
dredger. The charge that went off un-
der the scow on Saturday was large
one, and it fairly raised the scow out
of the water. 1t was the intention that
the explosion should not take place un-
til after all the charges had been
placed and the scow had been moved
away. After the explosion the scow
filled and then slowly turned turtle,
going down with the boiler and every
thing else. The boiler was charged and
an explosion was expected by witnesses,
but none took place.

more PLAGUE ON sunday AMPERED WITH THE MAL.(
ONE, AND MOST PROBABLY TWO
CASES.
Japanese at Kakaako Had the Disease
Hurley Case Still in Doubt-China-
man Dies Suddenly.

1t is not yet certain that John Hur-
ley, the white man from Vineyard
street, died of the plague. The post
mortem indicated the disease strongly,
but the slides have failed to show the
bacilli. Cultures are being made and
animals have been inocculated. Not
until these tests are completed win the
decision of the Board of Health be final
ly announced.
One of the patients yesterday, Yam
asaka, Japanese, from the yellow house
just around the Kakaako corner Of
Punchbowl street and the seawall, died
early this morning. Several physicians
witnessed the post mortem examination
at IL O'Clock, and the unanimous i'm
preston was that the case was one of
plague. Slides are being prepared for
further examination.
This Japanese was discovered by a
sanitary inspector yesterday morning,
and was even then regarded as very
suspicious. Last night three full doses
of plague serum were given, but entire
ly too late to do any good.
This morning a Chinaman was found
in a house on the asylum road in a
dying condition. The patient was re-
ported to the sanitary inspector of the
district by a native. There were no
outward indications of plague, although
the circumstances of death were decid-
edly suspicious. A post-mortem is be-
ing held, and the result win be an
nounced late this afternoon.
The Japanese victim was a fisherman
and maker of fishnets. He lived in the
house at Kakaako with some fifty other
Japanese. All have been moved to Ka-
lfl1i camp, and the house is under guard

POSTAL CLERK AT MAHUKONA
ARRESTED.
Held For Trial For Stealing Drafts
and Money Orders From Letters-Got
About $500 or $500.

KOHALA, March 23.-About a month
ago Mr.. Mckenzie discovered that the
young native left in charge of the Ma
hukona postoffice in j. S. Smithies'
absence had been tampering with the
mails. Mr.. Mckenzie took charge Of
the postoffice, and after the arrival of
Mr.. Smithies, who had been detained
in Honolulu in quarantine since Decem-
Der, the young man was arrested and
brought before Judge Atkins this week.
Evidence was given to show that he had
opened letters containing drafts and
money orders, and had thus obtained
about 5000 or $7O0.
He denies his guilt, saying he found
these drafts in a drawer in the post
office. Mr.. Smithies says he left moth
ing of the kind in that place. At the
time of his arrest one draft was found
in his room. Some of the money has
been recovered.
He got most of the drafts cashed by
natives and Cinnamon, who did not see
through his scheme AS the first one
was taken last December the fraud
has been going on some time. Judge
Atkins committed him to the Circuit
court, which meets in October, in $500
bail.

BIG CANE FIRE.
Five Hundred and Thirty Acres Burn
at Spreckelsville.

SPRECKELSVILLE March H.-A
disastrous cane fire swept over $50 acres
on the Hawaiian Commercial and Su-
gar Company's plantation, yesterday.
A thousand men were engaged in fight
ing it. In the early morning a field of
trash had been burned, and had been
carefully watched by the manager and
others till 1t was supposed all danger
was over. Several hours after this the
adjacent field of standing cane was
seen to burst into flames; and, as the
wind had Increased to half gale, no
efforts to stop it were of any avail, with
the exception of some fifty acres to the
extreme windward. Lanes were cut
and back firing resorted to, but the fire
had started on the east side, and the
strong northeast wind drove the fire
ahead with irresistible fury. 1T even
jumped the wide road from Kahului to
Kula and burned field of cane on the
opposite side:
The cause of the fire is uncertain
Whether q spark from the burning
trash had been carried into the cane
field, and burst out after smoulderine
for lleArs; or whether a stolen secret
smoke by some careless field hand
started 4Re -eonflagration is unknown
Every.effoFt will be made to grind the
burnt cane before 1t is spoiled. The
large mill will run day and night ano
will be pushed to it's utmost capacity.
The Paia Company will also render
assistance by running railroad tracl
from it's mill into the burnt fields.

CLAIMS COURT Tomorrow QUER TAX COLLECTORS
DRAFT READY AND MEMBERS
SELECTED.
Body VIII Get Down to Business This
Week-Wailuku Water Works-Hllo
Asks for Money.

The draft of rules to govern the court
of claims is about ready this afternoon
and will probably be announced tomor-
row. President Dole states the per-
sonnel of the court has been decided
upon, but as all have not accepted, the
names will not be announced until to-
morrow. 1t is calculated that the court
will be able to get to work this week.
A letter from H p. Baldwin read at
the Cabinet meeting this morning, in
quired if the Wailuku and Kahului
waterworks would be delayed on ac-
count of the near approach of the end
of the financial period under the loan
act which is March 81. There was a
second letter from Engineer Taylor on
the same subject 1t was intimated
that if there was likely to be a halt in
proceedings Maui parties would ad-
vance the money for the improvement.
1t was voted to reply that the appro-
priation would terminate with the end
of this month, but that a new item for
the purpose, amounting to $4,000, had
been placed in the bill now before the
Council of State. If Maui parties wished
to advance the money to prevent the
work stopping they might do so, and
would be reimbursed out of the appro-
priation when it was passed and APP
proved by President Mckinley.
Letters from John A. Scott, F. B. Nc
Stocker and Sheriff Andrews asked for
money for improvements in the Hilo
and Olaa neighborhoods. The letters
were referred to the Minister of In
terror with instructions to inquire into
the merits of the applications with q
view to putting the items in the bills
now before the Council of State.
w. r. Castle and W. A Henshall
attorneys for the Bow Wong Progress.
sive Association appeared before the
body on the matter of the charter of the
organization. After some discussion
the subject went over to next meeting
Mr.. Castle being now in the case, anC
desiring to learn more about it before
presenting his final argument.

JAPANESE AND CHINESE HAVE
TO PAY.
Personal Taxes Increased by a Dollar
for Expenses, Under Threats Of I'm
mediate Imprisonment.

Captain McCauley of the pilot Office
wants an investigation of the acts of
some tax collectors, who are going
about gathering in the annual personal
taxes and adding on to the regular
charge what they can get out of ignOr-
ant people. Two tax collectors appear
ed at the captains house last week and
secured $500 personal taxes with a dol
lar extra for Expenses" obtained by
threats of taking the Jap to Jail. As
taxes are not delinquent till the end Of
this month, the men seem to be acting
very arbitrarily.
1.-THE two men, one of them a Por-
tuguese, entered my place and asked
the Japanese if he had paid his taxes"
said Captain McCauley. He told them
he had not and they said he would
have to go to jail with them. The Jap
anese ran into the house and asked
my wife what it meant, and he was
told that he would have to pay his
taxes. The bill was produced, receipt
ed in advance in the regular way, by
a. d. Thompson. The men had lot
of these bills ready receipted. The bill
contained the usual five dollars
charges and in addition a dollar extra,
for expenses, whatever that means.
The Japanese paid it. How they can
take man to jail for not having paid
taxes before taxes are overdue, or how
they can charge anything extra before
taxes are delinquent, do not under
stand"
Captain j. c. Lorenzen of the pilot
Office has another receipt of the same
kind, ar extra dollar having been coll
lected from one of his servants. Cap
tain MCCauley says he saw the same
two men got the Sc at his place trying
another Chinaman and it appears that
they are doing large business. They
showed what purported to be a war
rant for the arrest of the Japanese Mt
Captain Lorenzen's place.
The tax collectors side of the story
very different. 1t is claimed that the
collectors are doing nothing more thar
duty in threatening to arrest those
who do not pay, taxes being cOllectable.
according to law, ION and after the hrst
of January" In cases where an arrest
is made, a dollar is charged for ex-
penses. Any person not having prop
erty or an employer who will stand
good for him is liable to arrest for not
paying taxes.
1t is denied that any extras have been
charged except in cases where arrests
were made. The delinquent Is consider
ed as arrested as soon as a. warrant lE
out and after that he must pay a dol
/ lar more,

BOOTH MAKES ANSWER
REPLIES TO CHARGES OF MRS
-. BERGER.
Declares the Woman Had No Interest
in Pacific Heights, and Was Never
Euchered Out of Her Rights.

G. w. Booth has filed an answer In
the Circuit court to the petition of his
sister, Sarah Anna Berger, to set aside
a deed, and for an injunction to stop
the payment of certain moneys by c. S.
DeslSy 20 him. Mrs. Berger claimed to
have been half owner in the property
transferred to Mr.. Desky by her
brother, and that by a fluke Booth gave
her 1000 for her interest and kept
the balance realized on the sale.
Booths side of the case makes it
appear that he and Mrs. Berger have
been bad friends for several years and
had not corresponded since 1895. He
says that a long time ago the fair plain
tiff forfeited all her rights in the prop
erty. In August 1898, a Mrs. Johnson
came to him and said that Mrs. Berger
would sell her interest for $4,000. While
not admitting that she had any interest
in the property of any sort, Booth ac-
cepted the offer simply in order to Sc
cure a clean quit claim deed.
1t was six months after this, or In
February, 1899 that he was first cp-
preached by Mr.. Desky with an offer
for the property and the transfer OF
that part known as Pacific Heights and
| the spring above was effected. The
| various minor points in the complaint
are denied in turn.
In the matter of Wing Wong Wal
| Company VS.. Margaret V. Carter, bill
for Injunction, Judge Perry has signed
a decision overfuling defendants de-
murrer. The effect of this win be tC
bring the case up for hearing on its
plain merits. The matter comes from
! Koolau.
There was no business in the Supreme
court this morning. The court met a
10 o'clock, but no business offering ad
| 1ournment was taken to tomorrow
morning. 1t is understood that there
will be another bitter fight on the con
stitutionahty of the court, and that tho
subject may be broached tomorrow
morning.

ITALIAN WAR VESSEL HERE
THE CRUISER CALABRIA MAKES
A CALL.
On Her Way Under Sudden Orders to
the East and Stop to Take
Coal

The Italian cruiser Calabria arrived
off the harbor this morning, on her way
from San Diego to China She anchor
ed outside the harbor, firing the Gus
tomry salute and will remain outside
till she has secured coal to continue
her journey. Her commander, Captain
Albert Cantelli, did not want TO run
any risk of infection. He even took no
pilot aboard, Captain Lorenzen anchor
ing the vessel from the pilot boat.
The Calabria was on her way to San
Francisco, when she received sudden
orders to go to the far East. 1t is
supposed that the war clouds in the
Fast were the reason for the change in
the orders. The Italian colony at San
Francisco had made great preparations
to give her reception when she arriv-
ed there, and was greatly disappointed
at her taking the Southern route. She
left San Diego without enough coal and
will take $50 tons here. The coal will
have to be sent to her on lighters out
side the harbor.
The Calabria is a similar vessel to
the Piemonte, which visited here about
wear ago. She Is of about 2350 tons
and carries crew of about $50 men, in
Guiding all hands. The Calabria is one
navy. b..
AS soon as the man of war was an
chored Commander Merry made pre-
parations to pay an official visit. The
naval stations steam launch was got
ready and will go out to the italian
vessel this afternoon. Captain Can
telli sent a note to Italian Consul
Schaefer stating the quantity of coal
needed

DIED OF APoPLExY.
Sudden Ending of Native Results in
a Post -MOrtem.

Naone, native man, aged 40, died
suddenly at All LeOng's lodging house
at the corner of Queen and Punchbowl
streets, Saturday afternoon. 1t was
reported that the deceased was in a
fight with another man when he fell
dead, and on this account the matter
was investigated very carefully by the
police. 1t turned out, however, that
there were no marks of violence on his
body.
At the Board of Health morgue 1t was
found that cerebral hemorrhage, or apo
plexy, was the cause. There is no truth
in a rumor that there was a disagree
ment in regard to the matter between
the police and the Board of Health, the
former promptly acquiescing In the
conclusion of the latter.
