An intervening glimpse of the situa-
ton in beleaguered Mafeling is given
in a New York Times dispatch printed
elsewhere. 1t shows with what pluck
Colonel Baden-Powell, one of the I'M
bIemished British heroes of the war, is
holding out against odds. Colonel
Baden Powell was the first man who
met the Beers in the field but he man
aged to concentrate behind the de-
fences of Mafeking and hold his own
there despite the superior numbers of
the enemy and General Cronje's des-
perate eagerness to get hold of Cecil
Rhodes. who is in Mafeking with sew
eral other civilian dignitaries. There
is a chance that he will be able to de-
fend the city until relieved, in which
event the name of Baden-Powell ought
to secure a better handle than the
colonelcy which serves it now.

Mr. T.. A. Mott-Smith sets a good ex-
ample to publb.. spirited property-own-
ers in Chinatown by asking the Board
Of Health to burn his structures at the
corner of Alakea and Merchant streets
They are not, so far as we know, in
fected. but they may be, and at any
rate they are insanitary. Mr.. Mott
Smith cannot lawfully burn them him
self and this is no time to take such
buildings down and leave the MATERIALS
lying about. We not only hope that
the Board will accept Mr.. Mott-Smith's
offer and carry it out but that other
men who own Chinatown shacks will
speedily follow his example.

CANCELLED THE BOND.
Attorney Hitchcock Helps a Japan
csc Hui and Then Gets Left.

Twenty-six Japanese women arrested
on Saturday night for living in Palama
instead of Iwilei, were arraigned before
Judge Wilcox yesterday morning. All
wore an air of anxiety as to what the
man with spectacles in front of them
intended to do. Their eyes were riveted
upon the Judge during the time the
charge was being read and interpreted
to them. The prosecution, however, was
not ready to try the case, and the wo-
men are TO appear again this morning
for trial.
At this stage of proceedings Alter
ney Rex Hitchcock, who put up a bond
of 81 300 Saturday night to insure their
appearance yesterday, cancelled the
bond summarily, and the women had to
go back to Jail. The hui of Japanese
who own the buildings in which the
women stay could find no money after
the arrest to bail their charges ont, and
Attorney Hitchcock offered to put up a
bond for them in case he was retained
as counsel.
This the Japanese hui agreed to, the
bond was furnished, approved by the
Marshal, and the women allowed to de-
part. Yesterday morning before the
case was called Hitchcock found that
another attorney had been retained by
the hui to fight the case, without even
consulting him about it. He therefore
had the bond cancelled and the hui had
to put 81 800 cash.

Merit Rewarded.

Ambrose A. Fox, the former special
police officer for the Board of Health
as chief of the health guards, has been
appointed captain of the Mounted
Patrol under the Marshal. Fox has
been in this country scarcely six
months. He came with strong letters
of recommendation from the Mayor
and City Council of San Luis Obispo,
California, where he had rendered good
service as police officer. 1t was on
account of these excellent reports that
Captain Fox was installed in the Ho-
nolulu department and it is on account
of the splendid service he has rendered
here that he is now the captain of the
Mounted Patrol.

BIG DEAL IN REAL ESTATE.
Sixty Acres Of Land in Eanoa Va
ley Sold to Syndicate.

Some sixty acres of land owned by
Attorney General Cooper, together
with the Roman mansion, in Manoa
valley, have been sold to a syndicate at
the head Of which is c. d. Chase, the
well-known real estate dealer who re-
Gently returned from a two years trip
to the United States.
Mr.. Chase was reluctant to speak of
the deal, as it had been contemplated
to keep it quiet for some days yet. He
said that with him were associated sew
eral leading business men who did not
desire publicity at this time.
Mr.. Chase said that the price paid
for the property was s125,000, and that
it had not been definitely settled as to
what use the syndicate would make OF
the land. 1t Is likely that it will be
cut up into building lots and doomed
as a subdivision. The situation is a
fine one and the neighborhood promis-
ing.
No deed has been recorded of the
sale yet, but one will shortly be filed,
says Mr.. Chase. Other real estate deal
ers are put on the qui vive by the big
deal and there is considerable specula-
lion as to why the property was sold
just at this time.
