KINAU ARRIVES
FROM THE COAST
OFF PORT LAST NIGHT-COMES
INTO HARBOR THIS MORNING
MANY VISITORS TO SEE HER,

The Wilder steamship Kinau arrived
off port last evening just before 8
o'clock, eight days and eight hours
from San Francisco. She came into the
harbor about 1880 this morning and
was Immediately visited by scores of
people to whom the Wilder flagship is
so familiar acquaintance as to seem
friend. Practically all the Island cap
tains who are in port were early at the
vessel to greet Captain Freeman and
look over the rejuvenated vessel. Cap
tain Freeman speaks very highly of
the effect of the changes made in the
vessel. She has been supplied with new
boilers and a new dynamo, and her en-
gines have been thoroughly overhaul
ed. She has bilge keels running nearly
the whole length of the vessel, these
proved to be great success for early
in the voyage the vessel met heavy
north-northwest seas which would give
plenty of roll to the vessel.
The reported collision of the Mary
Garratt with the Kinau was a mere
tritie causing very little damage and
no delay. The river steamer ran into
the stern of the Kinau as the latter
was at the wharf loading and smash
ed a little of the rail and dented one
or two of the plates.

state room on the port side correspond
ing to it, The former room of the
freight clerk has been made over for
the chief officer and the freight clerk
has been given an admirable room @
little further aft on the port side. In
all four new state rooms have been
added, three of them being the room
lest and best staterooms on the vessel.
The change thus created have practi-
cally covered the upper deck from end
to end with superstructure, and this
has all been decked over instead of be-
ing sheltered with awning. The higher
deck thus made, is not for passengers,
however, but for greater convenience
in working the ship.
Captain Freeman says that if he had
had better coal passers the Kinau could
easily have made the trip in seven
days.

.HO VOW A VISITOR
IN HONOLULU
THE GAELIC ARRIVES IN PORT
THIS FORENOON WITH FOUR
DAYS MAIL AND FILES.

The Gaelic was sighted at 9:35 o'clock
this morning not far beyond Diamond
Head. The weather was so thick that
the lookout was not able to sight her
at any great distance at sea. She
reached the Naval wharf at 1880
o'clock, her time across the ocean be-
ing about seven days.
She experienced fairly good weather
until she struck the present storm two
days ago, although throughout there
have been high seas.
She has but one passenger for Homo
lulu, though a fairly good list of
through passengers especially to Hong
kong. j. d. Burrell, who is going to
Hong Kong will stop over at this port.
Perhaps the most distinguished pas
senger aboard the Gaelic is Ho Vow,
for number of years until lately, con-
sui general at San Francisco. Ho Vow
is accompanied by his wife and family
and by Miss Daisy WI, daughter of his
EXcellency Wu Ting Fang, late Chi
nese minister to Washington, who is a
brother-in-law of Ho Vow. Ho Vow
like WI Ting Fang speaks English ad-
mirably. He is graduate of London
University and has been called to the
Middlesex bar. While consul general
at San Francisco he took great interest
in turf events and at one time was the
owner of very successful stable of
runners.
He is on his way to Hongkong as the
representative of a syndicate of Eng
lish and American capitalists who own
valuable concessions for railroads and
mining in China, and will endeavor to
secure other concessions. Ho Vow goes
as their representative and will carry
out the plans for exploitation and de-
velopment already formed.
Ho Vow declined to discuss in any
detail his future plans, or even to say
whether he had given up ambition for
public life.
Commander e. NJ. Hughes is another
passenger on the Gaelic. He goes to
Yokohama to join the Asiatic squad
ron there. At Honolulu, Mrs S. T.
Fisher, Miss E. Talcott and Mrs. Lieut..
F. b. Upham will join hte Gaelic. Mrs.
Upham's husband is an officer on the
Oregon. which will also probably sail
this afternoon for Yokohama.

HUNDREDS KILLED
BY THE ERUPTION
GUATEMALA TOWNS AND PLAN
TATIONS ARE BURIED DEEP
UNDER ASHES FROM VOLCANO,

NEW YORK, Nov. 14-A cable to the
Herald from Guatemala City says: AS
tonishing revelations of the great loss
or life and property caused by the
eruption of Santa Maria volcano are
being made daily.
Many hundreds of human beings
perished, and the destruction OF prop
erty is considered greater than that in
the island of Martinique, by the erup-
tions Of Mount Pelee. All of the estates
in the neighborhood of the volcano are
buried under volcanic ashes, which
reach to the tops of the houses.
The richest coffee districts are COM
pletely ruined Many trees cannot now
be seen, as they are buried under ash
es, and those that are not concealed
by ashes have been burned. The prin-
cipal losers are the large coffee plan
ters, mostly United States citizens and
Germans whose property is ruined.
Two or three new craters have been
formed on the side of the volcano
There were no eruptions from the sum-
init.
Pumice and ashes were carried chief
ly in southern and western directions.
The sea has a coating of volcanic ma
terial extending for many miles. Pass
ing vessels have become enveloped in
such darkness that they have been
compelled to change their course to the
high seas in order to be safe.
The eruptions of Santa Maria con-
tinue. The loss of the coffee crop, which
is Guatemala's principal export, has
completely demoralized commerce and
Government finances generally. The
national currency which is the only
circulating medium, has fallen to sew
en- cents, gold, for one paper dollar.
Prices for all necessaries and such ar
tlcles as are considered comforts ra-
ther than luXuries have risen to pro-
hibitive figures for many persons. The
authorities are trying to force dealers
to sell goods at the usual prices, but
the condition of affairs is such thai
business is entirely paralyzed.
Violently worded handbills and post
