ENGLAND's IMPOSSIBLE Task.
Americans Fresh From the TransvaaI
Declare the Beers VIII Surely
Come Out Victorious.

Alden, Arabia, Jan. 19.-The steamer
KOeniR arrived here to-day friday
from Delagoa bay. Among the passen-
gers are several Americans who left the
TransvaaI shortly before the KOenig's
sailing. These Americans statements
regarding the Boer war are remarkable,
and if true the British loss is far great
or than has been suspected. The fol
lowing are some Of the statements
made:
The total Of the Boer losses in the
entire war in killed, wounded and pris-
oneTs, including recent battles, does
not exceed 800.
Less than half the adult Beers are
now under arms, the government not
having yet required the services of all
burRhers.
The Beers have ammunition to last
for three years, and Pretoria is provis-
toned for one year.
All the BOer victories have been won
by forces greatly inferior to the British
in numbers.
The BOer plan Of campaign Is purely
defensive, and they are confident that
I
ers against any number of British that
can be sent against them
Two Of the three Americans who
talked said that the British cannot sue
cessfully operate with less than 100000
troops in the field and the third is con-
6dent that the Beers will eventually
win. They all agree that the British
prisoners and wounded are most kindly
and humanely treated.
ct can do England no credit to dis
credit the Beers" said one "The
Trsnsvaal is surrounded on all sides by
hills peculiarly adapted to the methods
Of defense IN which the Beers are
skilled, and to penetrate that line Of
defense is q task the cost Of which
think the English nation has formed
no adequate idea.
SGen. Joubert is suffering temporary
disability from hernia, caused by hard
riding, but his advice IS invaluable to
the Beers"

CHILD DROWNED
IN A BATHTUB
The Little Daughter OF II. B
Ll ons Meets Death at
Wailuku.
Especial Correspondence.)

WAILUKU. Maui, Nov. 9.-Thursday
evening a most shocking accident occur
red in Wailuku at the home of Hon. A. n.
<epoikai The little four-year- daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. T. b. Lyons, while
playing around a large bath tub filled
with water, fell in and was drowned while
no one was near to rescue her. Both DR..
Weddck and DR.. Armitage We're quickly
summoned, but in spite of their utmost
efforts the little child could not be resus
citated. The bath tub is large cement
tank, five feet deep, set into the floor and
flush with it,
The little girl had been accustomed to
regard the Kepoikai residence as her own
home and the supposition is that about
two hours before the sad event she had
wandered away from the house of her
parents, on Market street, to the scene of
the fatality. The occurrence has cast
gloom over the whole community, espe-
cially affecting political circles, for Mr..
Lyons is a candidate for Senator on the
Democratic ticket, and his cousin, Judge
Kepoikai. a candidate for Senator on the
Republican.
Yesterday afternoon at o'clock the
funeral services were held at the Catho-
lie Mission. Elaine was an exquisitely
beautiful child, with bright winning ways
that endeared her to all hearts. Mere
words are not adequate to express the
tender and heartfelt sympathy of the
whole community for the parents in their
bereavement.

and for the last ten months 44.06 inches
At Puuomalei for the same period

district is moist recently, Hama is de-
cidedly humid, which from it's sound
should be a stronger term than moist.

current always swept him back. After
