ON THE MAUI ENTUCK|ANS IN ARMS
ONE OF THE RESULTS OF HILos
QUARANTINE.
Permission to Get Water at Hilo
Wharf Refused and Bad Water From
the River Causes Illness.

The steamer Maui was held in Hllo
harbor with the captain and most Of
the crew sick, at last reports and there
is much worry as to how they will
manage to get away. The sickness was
caused by bad water and Hilo authori-
ties would not let the vessel come to
the wharf to get fresh water. The YES
sci was expected back here before now
and yesterday the Wilder company
made inquiries from the Pathfinder re-
garding her whereabouts. The only
news was in the Hilo Tribune of last
Saturday, which stated that the Maui
was among the vessels anchored in the
harbor.
The Maui went to Maui and Hawaii
on January IL. She was cleared from
here but at the Hilo port she went
up against the strict quarntine rule.
She needed water, and on being refused
permission to get some at the wharf,
went to the mouth of Wailuku river
and got the best she could. The last
word received from Captain Weisbarth
was that the water was very bad. He
was i'll himself, supposedly on account
of the water, and most of the crew
were also under the weather.
The Wilder Steamship Company Is
anxiously awaiting further news from
Captain Weisbarth 1t is feared that
the lack of advices so far indicates
that the trouble is worse.

sUBERNATORIAL CONTEST MAY
INVOLVE BLooDsHED.
Republicans Flocking Armed to the
State Capital-Determined That Goe-
bel Shall Not be Seated.

FRANKFORT, Ky, Jan. 25.-A spe-
cial train bearing more than 1000 men,
carrying Winchester rifles, arrived in
frankfort at $3.50 o'clock this morning.
The men hail from the counties of Bell,
lllen, Knox, Harlan, Whittier, Metcalf
and Edmundson. Frankfort is over
flowing with visitors, but none except
those arriving today carry arms.
Governor Taylor stated to an Asso-
ciated Press representative that the
men were not soldiers. He disclaimed
any knowledge of the identity or pur-
pose of the armed visitors.
The men marched to the State House,
stacked their guns and took up posi-
tons in groups about the buildings
They were all provided with badges
bearing a portrait of Governor Taylor,
which they pinned on their breasts.
Adjutant General Collier states that he
had no knowledge that the men were
coming. Many of the visitors are mem
bers of the State Guard.
Ex-Secretary of State Charles Finlay
addressed the assembled crowd. He
said their presence there was to see
that justice was done. A committee
was appointed from among the men
who arrived which drew up resolutions
of the same purport. A telegram from
Lexington speaking of the movement of
armed men toward the capital says:
'They are to be present at Frankfort
tomorrow when the Goebel men will at
tempt forcing action on contests over
seats in the house. 1t is given out that
these Republicans will serve notice on
Goebel members that they don't intend
seeing Republicans who have beer
honestly elected thrown out for Goebe
Democrats. This would cause Speaker
Trimble to order lobbies and galleries
cleared, which it is believed would pre-.
| cipitate the conflict"

LONDON, Jan. 25.-The War Office
has just issued the following dispatch
from Spearmans Camp, dated January
25, 1910 a. m;
General Warren's troops last night
occupied Spion Kop, surprising the
small garrison which fled. 1t has been
held by us all day though we were
heavily attacked, especially by a very
annoying shell fire.
Il fear our causalities are conside-
rable and 1 have to inform you with
regret that General Woodgate was dan
gerously wounded.
General Warren is of the opinion
that he has rendered the enemy's posi-
ton untenable. The men are splendid. ="
SPEARMANS CAMP, Tuesday, jan
90, $3.50 D. m.-The British field artillery
and howitzer shelled the enemy on the
crest of the ridge this morning, The
infantry, under excellent cover, kept
up an effective rifle fire. The Beers re-
signed a kopje, of which the British
took possession. When retiring they
sheltered themselves behind a stone
wall on the slope of the kopje, which
they held for hours.
This afternoon they ran across the
ravine. The British artillery poured
shrapnel and lyddite into them and the
infantry took the stone wall. The Bri-
tish casualty list was small.
LONDON, January PA dispatch to
the Times from Spearmans Camp,
dated Tuesday, $3.50 p. m. says:
THE Beers today had more guns and
are preparing to fight almost intermi-

which stretch in an almost unbroken
line from the Drakensberg many miles
eastward.
Firing continued throughout the day

This is the seventh day without a

a fact that the city is entirely out of
the woods, but the outlook is certainly
encouraging.
1t is the purpose of the Board of
Health to be on the safe side and to
that end a strict quarantine will be
kept up for some time. to come. If no
other cases appear in a'week there may
be Stacking of the rules as it af-

There will hardly be a disposition to
absolutely raise quarantine under four

WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE Of

very little to say in explanation of the

was admitted and it was said that the
order had been given some time ago,
but whether or not it was the result of
an application by General Wheeler him

few sporadic cases showing them

WHARF CONTRACT CLOSED
COMMANDER MERRY HELPS THE
EXECUTIVE.
Cotton Bros. Naval Constructors Under
Take the Work-Will be Pushed Day
and Night.

The Government feels under many
obligations to Commander Merry for
exceptional kindness in connection with
the new quarantine wharf to be built
at sea beyond the Healani boat house
1t is necessary that no time be lost
in the construction of this wharf as
many districts of the islands are in
need of supplies.
There was in Honolulu only one con-
cern that could build promptly-one
concern with the facilities and men to
begin work at once-and that was Cot
ton Bros, the naval constructors of the
United States government who are
working under Commander Merry.
With other builders, material would
have first to be ordered from the coast,
which would have necessitated a DELAY
of several weeks If not months. Even
Cotton Bros. could not build without
| borrowing material from Commander
| Merry.
Il will allow you the use of our firm
of contractors and all the material you
| require" said Commander Merry to
Minister Young; the condition being
| that you return the material as soon as
you can get it down from the coast" "
This was an extraordinary and un-
expected concession.
! Yesterday the bids for the wharf
were opened. On basis of Comman-
der Merry's generous offer, Cotton
Bros. were prepared to guarantee the
wharf finished within thirty days. Their
bid was $69,676 They were awarded the
contract and began work this morning
! Gangs of men will remain hard at il
day and night.
Commander Merry has granted the
request of the Cabinet in the matter
of the location of the wharf, he con
ceding the point that his favorte 10.
cation would be too close to the Hea-
lani boat house.
