Madame Butter fly.

The Opera House was crowded
last night drawn there by the
double program; although the piece
OF the eve was "Only the Master
shall Blame" yet the only piece
that seemed to meet the approval
and applause of the audience was
Madame Butterfly. Seldom, if ever,
has the city OF Honolulu had the
pleasure of seeing a more dainty
piece OF work in comedy that that
pictured by Miss Julia Crosby as
Madame Butterfly, 1t was all that
lovers of comedy, comedy in it's best
could be and the city awaits with
impotence, and yet with feeling
of pleasure, for soma producing in
which that talented actress will bs
the leading lady for an whole eve.
The support was as usual up to the
standard given by this company.
In the first play the audience paid
full tribute to Miss Roberts, and
she did full credit to her part. The
community is to be congratulated,
that such people as Miss Crosby
and Miss Roberts visit our city. and
give US such wholesome attractions

! Miss Stone to secure by popular appeal
i the amount of the ransom, and notices
| had already been sent that funds could
be sent to Kidder, Peabody g. Company
| of Boston, who had consented to act
as treasurer of the fund.
Under the new advice of the govern
ment, a meeting of the prudential COM
mittee was called on Sabbath morning,
which was attended by eight members
of the committee and four officers. The
report Of the gentlemen sent to Wash
ington was received and, after full de-
liberation, it was decided that while
we could not reeede from the action of
last Friday, the tidings Of the govern
ment made it almost evident that the
first thing was to secure Miss Stones
safety, then other steps would follow;
therefore we felt that as individuals 1t
was our duty and privilege to help by
all means in our power the securing Of
this ransom from the general public.
Communications were sent by telegram
so far as possible, to every part Of the
country, even to the Pacific Coast.
Money in sums large and small have
been received in answer to this appeal
for humanity. The government has
showed it's supreme interest in this
matter by already becoming the custo-
by Kidder, Peabody & Co. This plan
not only shows the governments inter-
est but 1t guards any possibility that
any part Of the money will be paid
over until Miss Stone herself has been
placed In safety in the hands of proper
authorities.
It will be seen from the above state
ment that the board has been unit
in it's whole action from the beginning
and consistent throughout It's officers
and friends are willing to use every
effort to procure this fund under the
conditions and limitation given. Any
one who had been present at the con-
fenence in Washington would not hes
itate 20 have full confidence in the gov
ernments efforts The officials Of the
board having been received into its
confidence, are willing to trust the gov
eminent: we, in turn, have no doubt
that the friends Of the board viii have
confidence in us.

washington, Oct. 8.-There were two
new witnesses before the Schley court
of inquiry today. They were Com
mander Richard Wainwright, who
commanded the Gloucester during the
war with Spain, and Lieut.. M. l..
Bristol, who, as ensign, was watch
and division officer on the battleship
Texas during that period.
Lieut.. Bristol had not concluded his
testimony when the court adjourned
for the day. He did not see the loop
made by the Brooklyn, the greater
part of his testimony turning upon a
chart he had made, showing largely,
according to his memory, the positions
of the various ships of the American
fleet at different times during the en-
gagement of July 8. There were sew
eral spirited controversies between
counsel over questions asked the
witness by Mr.. Raynor concerning this
chart.
Commander Wainwright's testimony
dealt largely with chart-making. He
was for a time senior member of the
board of navigators which prepared
the official chart sho Eng the position
of the American ships during the bat
tie off Santiago, and he gave details
of the method of its preparation. He
said he did not consider the positions
assigned in that drawing accurate, but
that they were given as the result of
a compromise of the views of the
members of the board.
Lieut. Commander Hodgson, Capt.
Folger and Lieut. Dyson made addi-
tions to their previous testimony.
The proceedings of the day began
by the recall of Capt w. NJ. Folger
for the purpose of correcting his testi-
mony of yesterday. Advantage was
taken Of his presence to ask him fur
Their questions concerning the block
ade off Santiago. Among other ques-
tions. he was asked by Capt Lemly
if he had had any conversation with
Commodore Schley during the block
ade.
He replied: Toward the evening of
one of the days, the S0th, there was an

severe that \ feared Cervard Rad

JENKINS THREW THE
CHICAGO CHAMPION

Cleveland O., Oct. S.-Tom Jenkins of
Cleveland again demonstrated his supe-
riority in wrestling tonight. when he
threw John j. Rooney. Chicago's cham
pion. in two successive falls at Central
Armory before 1000 spectators. Jenkins
weighed 1876 pounds. Rooney's weight be-
ing something over 200 pounds. Matt
Hinkle Of Cleveland was referee.
The contest was for $780, 1920 to the
winner and $500 to the loser. Dan Nc
Leod Of Buffalo challenged the winner,
and will probably meet Jenkins in this
city in the near future.

Judge advocate-"Was there any re-
ply by the commodore?"
Il cannot testify correctly as to his
reply. l would prefer not to do So
Judge advocate-"Give the sub
stance"
'"He did not agree with me as to
the necessity for that"
Was there anything further said
b. him 2"
Capt. Folger also said that he had
no recollection of picket line on the
inside of the American feet.
At the request of Capt Parker, of
counsel for Admiral Schley, the wit
ness examined the log Of the New
orleans for May 80 ard 81, 1898, for the
purpose of determining accurately the
state of the weather, but he declined
1 to modify his statement of yesterday
that the weather on those days was
; bad.
Captain Folger was then excused and
Lieut.. Dyson was called He was
/ questioned by Captain Lemly concern
. ing the steaming condition OF the
+ Brooklyn on July 3.
l The Judge Advocate asked; What
does the Brooklyn's steam log snow as
Ito the number Of engines coupled up
and the boilers in use July 3, 1879, as
compared with the total engines ana
boiler and power of the vessel?
The reply was: THE Brooklyn has
four main engines, two to each smart
connected together by coupling. She
has seven boilers five main and two
auxiliaries. On the morning of July
3, both forward engines were coupled;
there were banked fires under three Of
the main boilers. The other boilers
were what we call dead" no steam in
them. Judging from time it took to
start fires in these boilers after the
Spanish fleet came out of the harbor,
/ should say the furnaces were not
even primed, and two of the boilers had
to be run up to the sea steaming level.
IT took from 9.35 to 10 O'Clock to start
fires.
In response to other questions the
witness detailed from the log of the
Brooklyn all that was done on that
vessel to get up speed.
Mr.. Raynor asked if it was not nee
essary to stop the ship to couple the
uncoupled engines and the witness re-
piled that the ship could have been
kept going with one engine while the
other was coupled. The engines were
designed, he said, to be kept coupled
during war.
Discussing the speed of the various
vessels of the fleet on July 3. the wit
ness said the Oregon got up a speed
about equal to the Brooklyn on that
day. knowing that on her trial trip. the
Brooklyn made over q knots to the
