TREASURY BALANCE is REALLY
$1O,O6S27.
Minister Damon Presents Interesting
Figures to Cabinet-The Surplus is
Dwindling.

Minister Damon read a statement to
the Cabinet this morning that made the
financial legs of the Government trem-
BILE for a moment. Under it he showed
that when the obligations of the Gov
ernment are paid there would be exact
ly $10,068.27 in the treasury. This is
not big balance, surely.
The Minister stated that the cash ball
ance on hand today was $1,53O, ,613. 40.
Out of this, however, had to come $780,
900 for a garbage crematory; $4,000
more for maintenance of people after
release from quarantine; $138,000 un-
paid bills of the Board of Health; $345,-
253.24 for extending the sewerage and a
balance of something over 100000 re-
manned out under the loan act. Again,
there was $5O0,000 to be paid for claims
in the burnt district, approved by
President Mckinley.
On the other hand a great deal of
this money will not depart very soon
from the treasury so that the balance
will hardly fall to $4,000 this year. 1t
will take nearly year to spend some of
the larger amounts appropriated, one
being for sewerage and another for
claims. In the meanwhile money will
be coming in every day. 1t is therefore
almost certain that the uneXpended bal
ance will continue to be considerable.
Messrs. Hatch, Thurston and G. H.
Kluegel interviewed the Cabinet this
morning in regard to laying track on
the makai side of the Government
wharf at Hilo. Action deferred
The appropriation of Monday for har-
Dor improvements, Honolulu, was re-
considered and the vote changed appro-
priating ,676 for the purpose under
Act 62 session laws of 1898.

ABOUT THE HOTEL STABLES
CERTAIN TO BE DESTROYED BY
FIRE.
City Greatly Interested in the Matter
and Pronounced Feeling Against Saw
ing the Property.

The Board of Health will this after
noon consider the Hotel stables queS-
ton. 1t now seems next to certain that
the property will be destroyed, although
strenuous efforts are being made to
save it. Very pronounced pressure is
being brought to bear on the side of
burning. The town is afraid that if
the stables stand there will be a repe
tition of the Pantheon experience.
The Portuguese consul is just now in
teresting himself in the matter. 1t will
he remembered that seven Portuguese
employed in the stables were removed
early yesterday into quarantine. The
point made by the Consul is that the
stables have not been treated as infect
ed premises and therefore the Board of
Health had no right to send his people
into quarantine.
1t is understood that representations
in regard to the property will reach
the Board this afternoon from the CT
tiZens' Sanitary Committee.
No quarantine of any sort has been
maintained at the Stables today. Peo-
pie have had free access to any part of
the premises.
There have been no suspicious cases
today although the call physicians
have investigated a number of cases.
Three ciphers are on the Boards re-
port for the past twenty-four hours.
The native woman who died suddenly
at Kalihi detention camp late yesterday
had heart disease. Her name was Kau-
pena, aged SO.
Last night George Miller, German
aged 81, member of one of the compa-
nies of the National Guard, was taken
to the pest house. There were slight
suspicious that he had plague, but an
examination showed entertis to be the
trouble. His temperature at the time
was 98 and pulse 40.
DR.. Jobe this morning visited Charles
Clark, native, aged A. at the corner of
Punchbowl and Queen street. The lad
was suffering of malarial fever an was
being attended by DR.. Alvarez.
This morning the Board of Health is
mailing to all it's agents in the islands
| letters informing them of the quaran-
| tine against Kahului and Hilo. All
other communities are warned against
receiving any goods from either ot
those places except in the manner
| adopted last week. Shipping via Ka-
| hului or EIilo ports was to be done in
such a way that the goods will not en-
ter the towns.
Freight Agent Mayfield, of the Boarc
of Health, will this afternoon cause the
arrest of q prominent Chinauan fol
violating regulations, The Chinamar
received a permit to ship three cases OF
| dipped salmon in tins ov,r the Oahu
Railway. At the depot it was founc
| that the tins had been removed from
one of the cases and the latter had beer
| stuffed full of clothing.

THE INVERNESS SHIRE CREWS
PROSPECT.
Will be Taken to a British Port for
Trial on Charges of Mutiny-Consul
Hoare's Action.

Twelve men of the British ship In
verness-shire will probably be taken
from here in irons, to be tried for
mutiny in the first degree at the first
British port reached by the vessel. The
men were arrested yesterday by Police
Captain Harry Evans, on request of
British Consul Hoare. The consul, by
his attorney, A. S. Humphries, yester-
day sent to Marshal Brown a request
for the arrest ana detention of the
twelve men, promising to pay all ex-
penses and to indemnify the marshal
against all damages that might result
from Imprisonment of the sailors. The
latter are not in prison. The men are
Michael Swanton, James Hudson, Chris
Kasperson, A. Peterson, Z. Alsua, Hen
ly Goulding, j. Bowles, Henry Main
land, Hans Jaanaen, John Marquson,
William Thompson.
The Hawaiian law makes no provi-
sion for the trial of such cases as that
of alleged mutineers. Captain Peattie
states that the men refused to work
even when the vessel was in the open
sea and in danger and captain Evans
gives the same report. Each of the
sailors has about 5000 due him as wages
The men might be tried here by a
special court consisting of British cap
tains in the harbor. Consul Hoare has
power to call such a court himself be-
ing a member, and the court may pro-
ceed to try, convict and sentence the
men. The sentence would have to be
carried out in England, however. This
would mean the transportation of the
men under sentence from here to En-
gland at the expense of the ship.
| The Inverness shire will have tu
stand the expense of the present pro-
ceedings. She is about ready to leave
and will go to the coast with the twelve
| sailors who are to be tried in a British
court for mutiny on the high seas. Bri-
! tish courts are proverbially severe in
such matters, so that the sailors have
q somewhat dark prospect ahead. They
have been with the Inverness shire
about a year. But for their rebellion
| she would have been gone before the
| storm that caused her to drift away,
and all the trouble and expense she had
would have been avoided.

WAR MEMS IN BRISBANE
A DISPATCH FROM SOUTH
AFRICA.
Telegram Read in the Opera House
House When the Aorangi Was There.
Buffers Progress Reported.

Telegram read in Opera House, Bris-
bane, 1O3O p. M, Sth February: Mon
day, crossed the Tugela; Tuesday,
captured four Boer positions on the
ridges after very severe fighting; We'd
nesday, Beers tried to regain position
but failed owing to the reinforcement
of the British troops when Butler cut
through the Boer forces and is now
marching to Ladysmith.
"Buller is close to Ladysmith."
The Aorangi brought no new cable
dispatches, though the interval between
mail steamers is now so long that she
nearly had some new reports. A rumor
was current this morning that she had
later dispatches and that General Bull
ler had made a good deal more progress
toward Ladysmith The rumor had its
origin in the above memoranda fur
nished by the purser of the steamer,
who thought Honolulu might possibly
be behind Brisbane.
The dispatch was received with
thunderous applause in the opera house,
where the people took its tidings as a
beginning of the relief of the besieged
garrison. 1t outlines in brief about the
same news as has been received here
from San Francisco dated the 9th. The
passengers on the Aorangi were all
very anxious for later news. The first
question asked of everybody that ap-
preached the steamer was about the
war, and there was much disappoint-
ment when it was found that Honolulu
was so far behind in news. AS the
steamer will leave before any news
gets here, those on board will have to
wait till they get to Vancouver. This
will be an interval of about three
weeks in all between dispatches.

SAVING THE 1NvERNEss-sHIRE.
The Men Who Went and How They
Were Treated.

The case of the Inverness-s shire is be-
ing discussed along the water front.
1t is the general opinion that the three
captains, Peattie, Kenny and Evans
who took a crew out to the endangered
vessel are entitled to great credit for
their work under the circumstance.
There have been many warm hand
shakes for all of them since they got
safely back, Captain Evans has been
quoted as saying that there was absolu-
tely no trouble in getting to the yes
sci. Several times l thought myself
that 1 was up the spout" he said this
morning, in talking of the fears of those
who watched from the shore.
The statement that the mate vas not
on the Inverness-sh shire is an error, the
third mate being the man who was on
shore. Captain Peattie treated the men
who went to the vessel with great hos
pitality, including all the native work.
men, who were provided with the best
on board. Captain Evans and Kenny
both wish to thank the master of the
ship for his excellent treatment of
them,

JAPANESE RUNAWAY DIES.
The Man that Worried Sanitary Com
mittee two Days.

The Japanese brought from Kapahulu
last night to the Board of Health office
suffering of beriberi and exhaustion,
died early this morning.
During Monday it was reported to
the Citizens Sanitary Committee that
some Japanese were seen carrying or
assisting a fellow countryman on the
road near Kapiolani park. j. Light
foot, in whose district this happened,
was communicated with and requested
to find the sick Japanese. He searched
every house, not getting through until
1 a. M, and then reported that the
japanese was not in his district

district, was communicated with and
Mr. Lightfoot was requested to assist

HISTORIC BUILDING BURNED.

The house belonging to the Bishop
Estate which was burned yesterday at
the request of the estate, formerly
stood where the judiciary building now
does, and was the residence of Princess
Victoria, sister of Kamehameha Nv and
Kamehameha V. 1t was moved from
there to the foot of Punchbowl street,
where it was burned yesterday, to make
room for the present Judiciary build
ing. When the transit of venus party
were here in 1874 to observe the transit
of venus across the suns disk, they
rented this building from Keelikolani,
Princess Ruth, for $1OO a month during
their stay here.

A DANGEROUS FIRE.

A cottage in the rear of the premises
of H. M. Dow was the scene of an eX-
citing fight with fire at about one
o'clock this morning, a child of Mrs.
Scott, whose husband is working for
the Board of Health, narrowly escaping
death in the flames. The fire was
started from a match, which ignited
the mosquito netting around the baby's
bed. MIR. Dow and Mr. Lyle, who were
reused, put out the fire with wet pillows
and threw out the burning bed clothes.
The baby's hair was slightly singed.

DEADLY RED FISH.
How They Killed off the Water Front
Rats.

The mortality among rats that was
reported all over the city before poison
was distributed is explained in a new
way by longshoreman who does not
think there has been any plague in
Honolulu. 1t was all caused by red
fish. Some of the latter are very poi
sonous. They were chased by some
marine enemy, jumped out of the water
and landed on shore. Along came an
unsuspecting rat, ate the fish instead
of waiting for good lard, turned up his
toes and died. Other rats came and ate
the dead rat and they died too and were
in turn eaten by more rodents, all going
make" Investigate and you'll find
that that is what killed the rats and not
any bubonic plague" said the wise
longshoreman, and the proposition is
now open to any scientist who wants ia
win fame.
