WILL BATTLE
TO DEATH
Cronje Hemmed in the River Bed
Sought Armistice But Was
Refused and Is Now
Defiant.

+ Paardeberg Drift, Feb. 22-This was
the third day of the battle against
Cronje's laager. Early in the morning
we engaged the enemy with all the guns
in our possession. AS the shells poured
into the lager the Beers we're seen
crawling like ants to gain cover. but
there was none to be had.
In the meantime the artillery OF Gen.
French could be heard to the east en-
gaging the reinforcements for Cronje.
The battle continued all forenoon, our
artillery filling the enemy's trenches
with dead and dying.
In the afternoon Lord Roberts who
had arrived the day previous determined
once for all to force surrender or ami
hilate the enemy.
Every gun, artillery and naval, was
brought to place within thousand
yards distance.
They opened fire from three points
and poured terrible hail of missiles in
to the camp. 1t was one OF the most
awful scenes ever witnessed, over sixty
powerful cannon belching explosives
among the living, dead and wounded,
the whole bed OF the river clouded with
the deadly tunes OF liddite. The Bo9rs
were falling back fr jm the edges OF the
entrenchment into the pits
Yet amidst all this terrible fire, in a
spirit OF the desperate madness, tho
Beers made attempt after attempt to
spike the guns, only to be shot down by
the infantry lying in wait Thus the
battle ragged until darkness came.

London, Feb. 22.-The elation over the
victory consequent upon the relief of
Kimberley is giving way to anxiety.
Not word about the desperate warfare
which is undoubtedly going on between
Kimberley and Bloemfontein has been
allowed to reach London
Every body believes that bloody fight
ing has been progressing daily for the
past five days and if there have been any
British victories why should not the
people at home be told OF themr This
is the question every man asks. As the
government keeps strict silence and
the censors block every wire, the natural
conviction is forced on England that all
is not going we'll with British arms.
To cap the climax ominous reports are
coming by way OF Lourenzo Marques of
Boer victories won by the willy Cronje.
The government issued today, without
a word of explanation, a list OF nine Off
cels killed, twenty nine wounded and
one missing in the fighting from the 10th
to the 18th. No mention is made of the
casualties to the rank and file, but in
the usual proportion the British losses
for the first three days in the Kimberley
campaign numbered 600 men.
No rerorts of the fighting have been
made public, but it is evident that the
Highland bridgade must have been again
under the deadly Boer fighting from the
number of officers killed and wounded
in the regiment.
AT Magersfontein the Highlanders
lost General Wauchops and now Mac
Donald, their new leader, is reported
severely wounded. The Canadian con-
tingent also suffered loss of 6 per cent
but all this happened last Sunday.
What has happened since is moetly
guesswork, but it would seem that it
was Cronje's fine generalship that en-
abled the Beers to escape from one over
whelming British Gordon. And now
they are giving Generals Roberts and
Kitchener all they can do.
This is being recognized even in Eng
land. The st. James Gazettee says:
1--WE have seldom read of a finer mill
tary feat than General Cronje's retreat
more desperate position could hardly
be imagined, but no practice was too
hard for the leader whose skill, and for
the men whose courage and determine
ton have for 30 long postponed the in
evitable catastrophe.
of one pictures long lines OF OK wag-
ons, their slow rate of movement, the
inevitable delays from falling teams and
breaking axles, it seems inconceivable
how this whole body has for so long es-
capped destruction. The only possible
conclusion is that the pursuit was lack
ing in vlgor and determination.

Boards" Racy Last Meeting

The minutes of the last Hiio BparI
meeting form racy narrative OF IL
dying moments. DR.. Russell stated h,
had interviewed nearly all the br3i-
ness man in town and was in a posi-
ton 10 state that the business men es-
pecially had very little confidence in
the Board on account of its inConsist-
ency, and had strong statements from
people that if the Board did not resign
they would be made to resign in Is colt
pie of days.
Mr.. Kennedy said the sheriff has 10
do as the authorities in Honolulu tsll
him
DR.. Grace: I'VE have no executive
officer attached 70 the Board ",H
DR.. Russell: Then our existence liz
preposterous."
DIR. Grace said he had communicated
with one of the Kau delegates, who
said he was in favor of limited quar-
antine, and was going to allow tho
mail from the Iwalani to be landed,
and they did not care a d-n what the
people in Hilo did. He would abandon
the whole thing il people elsewhere on
the Island could neutralize the efforts
of the Board in that way.
Sheriff Andrews arrived at this .iune-
tire and said, in reply to a question
from DR.. Russell as to why Minister
Cooper had broken faith with me
Board" and allowed things TO come
UP which should not:
Il did not hear Mr.. Cooper at any
time commit himself in any way that
he would not allow things to come up;
he stated that he had no authority to
give any one or any committee on the
Island of Hawaii authority which
would be equal to or paramount with
the Board of Health in Honolulu; he
stated If all the Island wanted to have
communication cut off, he had no doubt
the Board of Health would accede to
their wishes. He also told me was
sheriff of this Island and was under
the instructions of the authorities IN
Honolulu, and that this Board had no
legal standing until they had commits
sions. | will carry out the orders Of
this Board of Health until they con-
tiict with the existing law. AS soon as
this Board has commissions then |
carry out whatever orders this Board
makes"
After further discussion Dr.. Russell
moved:
THAT this Board suspend It's DELHI
erations until AN executive power is
attached to it."
Proceedings here terminated"
The Board of Health has gladly ac-
luiesced in the last paragraph OF the |
and Hilo's Board of Health" |

THE CABINET
Sewer System Will be
Extended.
Discussion on Goods in AaIa--Eaecu-
tive Meets Board of Health
To-day.

The Cabinet met in regular session
yesterday morning. There were pres
ent President Dole and Ministers Mott
a;mith, Alex. Young, S. NJ. Damon ant
Henry E. Cooper
President Dole read resolutions from
the Board of Health, dated February
ard (1) in regard to merchandise stored
in .Aala warehouse, recommending that
claims for same be settled on a basis
OF sb6 2-3 per cent; (2) recommending
the immediate extension of the sewer
age system so as to include all the area
lying between Liliha street and Puma
hou street, and extending towards the
mountains to the line of Wyllie street.
There was a lengthy discussion held
by the members of the Executive upon
the sewerage system and about the
goods stored in the Aala warehouse,
including the offer of the owners to
compromise upon a basis of 66 2-3 per
cent. The discussion upon the latter
point resulted in a motion, which was
carried. to meet the Board of Health
some time today for further discus
sion.
Mr. Dole suggested that the resolu-
ton in regard to the goods stored in
Aala warehouse shall be amended and
enlarged so as to include the informa-
ton that said goods and effects are
perishable and are already injured and
likely to be completely spoiled by the
passage of time so that it is likely that
they will have to be destroyed as del
eterious to the public health.
1t was voted that immediate steps
be taken by the Minister of the In
terror TO obtain tenders for that por-
ton of the sewerage system, not yet
contracted for and already surveyed
for which plans and specifications are
in the possession of the govern
ment, tenders to be advertised for on
the Mainland and in Honolulu.

THE HEALTH OF LANAI.
Mr.. Hayselden Says Conditions are
Not Unsatisfactory. =
Koele, Lanai, Jan. 81, 1900.

Koele, Lanai, Jan. 81, 1900.
Editor Advertiser: l notice in your
issue of the 29th inst. lin your report
of the Board Of Health meeting) the
following item:
A letter was received relative to
conditions on Lanai. Conditions were
said to be somewhat insanitary, and
the writer believed something should
be done to bring the native element
into line and have their houses cleaned
out thoroughly or destroyed. The
Board felt it was a matter for the
plantations to look after, as most of the
people were employees. No action was
taken.
/ am unaware who the writer of such
letter is, but l can say that it is quite
untrue, misleading and apt to make
some people believe that the Maunalei
Sugar Company management is re-
sponsible for the so-called insanitary
condition of native Hawaiian houses.
The facts are that there are only
ten houses occupied by Hawaiians on
the coast line of Lanai opposite Lahai-
ma, and they are strewn along the coast
for distance of ten miles, three only
being somewhat near together, say
200 feet apart; nine of them are good,
wooden houses, three of them having
been built within the past six months.
consider them all in fairly good san
itary condition. There are no cess
pools and all are situated few yards
above high-water mark on the beach.
The Hawaiians living in the interior
are all living in good wooden houses
and are clean and healthy-looking.
In regard to the sanitary condition
Of the quarters of the employees OF the
Maunalel Sugar Company, | consider
them far superior TO any OF the quar-
Lers | have seen on other plantations,
and have seen great many. Nearly
all the Hawaiians living on the beach
earn their living by fishing and do not
work for the plantation.
BY inserting the above In your next
ssue you will oblige,
Yours truly,
FRED. H. HAYSELDEN.

BACILLI ON BOOKS.
A Correspondents Suggestion to the
Public Library.

Editor ADVERTISER following
clipping from the Scientific American
of November 14th, 1899, contains in
formation on the spread OF tuberculosis
which is of interest to us as well as
to people in other countries:
The Board of Health of New York
city has received a communication
from the Board of Health in Michigan
stating that twenty clerks of that State
who We're working over old volumes
of records We're taken Ill with con-
sumption and died. The books were
examined by bacteriologist and were
found to be full of tubercules and
bacilli, and 1t Is thought they became
infected from clerk who had con-
sumption and who had the habit OF
moistening his thumb with saliva when
turning the pages.
In reference to the above / would
like to remind keepers of all Libraries
that the habit of moistening from the
lips the leaves OF books Is very COM
mon; and | would suggest that the fol-
lowing label, printed on paper OF some
striking color, be pasted on the inside
of cover OF every book in every library
in the Hawaiian Islands:
Please do not use moisture from the
lips in turning the leaves of this book,
as the practice is unclean, and often
the means OF spreading disease"
