"Wait and you'll see," said Miss
Rodney. Her cheeks were flushed, and
she seemed pleasantly excited over her
sisters letter. She went on reading
from it again:
"This is another romantic thing in
this story-when they were on top Of

ed him to chip off piece of rock from

THE BOER WAR UNCERTAIN
RUMoRs UPON RUMoRs CANNOT
BE VERIFIED.
Warren Reported Across Tugela With
11,OOO Troops-Boers Concentrating at
New Point-Colenso Deserted.

NEW YORK, January ia cable to
the Tribune, dated London, January
16th says the military situation in Ma
tai remained unintelligible till a late
hour last night. One rumor contradict
ed another.
Two plain facts remain unchallenged.
Potgieter's bridge, had been seized on
Thursday morning, and Warren, with a
flying column of II, 900 men, with a sup
ply train, had started either east or
west. To these are added the third fact
in the messages of today in the Iimes
and other journals, from Ladysmith
namely, that the Beers are removing
their guns from the Tugela and concen-
trating their forces elsewhere. A large
camp has been located fifteen miles
west of Ladysmith, corresponding to
the force which Butler reported in
trenched four and half miles north of
Potgieter's Drift. The Thirteenth Hus-
sars are reported to be reconnoitering
near Grobler's Kloof without meeting
the enemy.
The Ladysmith garrison has been put
on full rations, and it's immediate relief
is confidently expected. Merchants there
are ordering stores from Pietermaritz-
burg. While rumors that the Dutch are
preparing to retreat in consequence of
defeat in their desperate assault upon
Ladysmith may be premature, there is
at least evidence that they are weak
ening their central position at Colenso
and are concentrating their forces else
| where.

LOOT and PLUNDER

During the exciting events of Satur-
day afternoon, the store of Yuen Chong
corner of Maunakea and King streets
was entered and ransacked from top to
bottom and an immense amount of
valuable property was taken away.
One man was arrested by the police to-
day on Punchbowl and $1,000 dollars
worth of the stuff recovered. Marshal
Brown has three men locked up at the
station who admit having gone in and
taken some of the things. They assert
however that by the time they got there
the place had been practically looted.
They accuse firemen of having done it.
This however remains to be seen. These
three men are men who were put out
as guards on behalf of the Honolulu
Iron Works duEing the fire.
Boxes, lockers, drawers, everything
that could be the receptacle of Valu-
ables was smashed open as with axes,
and the contents rihed.

HAWAIIAN BILL IN HOUSE
REPRESENTATIVE HIT MAKES A
REPLY.
He Answers the Main Objections of the
Opponents of the Bill in Committee
on Territories.

WASHINGTON, January 15.-The
bill providing for a form of government
for Hawaii was taken up today by the
House Committee on Territories, and
Representative Hit Of Illinois, a mem
ber of the Hawaiian Commission, ex-
plained it's general purpose and the
need of early action. Hit said that the
present laws caused much trouble
among the people and the business IN
terests, and as the political destiny Of
Hawaii was no longer an open question
it was much desired to bring all con-
flicts of authority to close and estab-
lish a, stable system as soon as possible.
He took UP the three main objections
raised to the Territorial form of gov
ernment proposed and answered them.
The proposed property qualification
for voters for members of the Senate
tarred somewhat upon our sensibillties
and customs, Hit said, but it was In
line with the local sentiment and usage
in Hawaii, and the desire had been TO
yield to the reasonable desires OF the
people of the islands.
The reference of contested election
cases to the courts and the provision
giving to the Governor the appointment
of Judges were urged by the people OF
Hawaii. The people of the islands
dreaded any plan which would colonlze
Hawaii with office holders from Wash
ington, and they therefore wanted thell
own Governor to make the appoint
ments.
The committee arranged to take uI
the bill by sections at the next meeting
Chairman Knott says he hopes to re-
port the bill to the House during the
present month.

FOR A FIRE GLAIM GllIRI

The Executive Council this morning
adopted a resolution requesting Presi-
dent Mckinley to create court of
claims to adjudicate controversies
growing out of the action of the Board
of Health in burning buildings and de-
stroying property in it's efforts to stay
the plague. 1t was also voted to have
blanks prepared for filing claims.
The request for court to adjudicate
these claims is not because the present
courts have not jurisdiction but because
they are already fully occupied and
these fire claims are so numerous they
will entail an immense amount of new
business.
An adjourned meeting of the Council
of State began shortly after 2 o'clock
this afternoon to take up the business
interrupted by the events of Saturday

THE PLAGUE SITUATION

One fatal case of plague today is the
record so far, and the situation is some
what brighter. Though the case, which
was at Nuuanu and Kukui street, was
outside the quarantined district, it was
only just across the street from the line,
so that it is not an example of spread
