Japanese Colony.

Among the passengers on board the
America Maru are Baron E. Shibusawa
his wife and suite. The baron is a man
of financial prominence in Japan, being
the founder of the National Banks of
his country.
The baron is for the second time on
a world tour, this time a more exten-
sive one than the first made some
thirty years ago. Upon that occasion
he was unable to visit the United States
neglect which made the actual mo-
tive of the present trip, which has been
taken at this particular time in order
to attend the coronation. Baron Shi-
busawa carries with him official creden-
tials relative to his standing as a finan-
cier of Japan and is also the representa-
tive of the Chamber of Commerce. On
his return trip the United States will be
thoroughly covered including a visit to
the site of the st. Louis Exposition
where he will overlook the ground for
the japanese exhibit. He will return to
Japan in time for the active prepara-
tiOns for the big fair to be held there
next year Baron Shibusawa was one
of the men whom Commissioned Gen
eral Barrett of the st. Louis Fair COM
mission planned to meet in connection
with arranging for the showing at the
exposition of the products of the land
of the Chrysanthemum.
The baron was the guest of *.
Imanishi last night, his host giving in
connection with the Japanese Mer-
chants Union of this city dinner in
his behalf last evening at Mr. Imam
ishis Waikiki residence. Besides Baron
Shibusawa and his immediate party,
some fifty of the prominent financiers
and merchants of the Japanese colony
were present Owing to some diff
culties connected with landing, the din
ner which was typical Japanese ban
quet, was delayed until past eleven
o'clock before commencing. Fireworks
added to the entertainment and during
the dinner the baron was presented
with a gold headed cane from the Mer-
chants Union as token of esteem.
The baron and his party, up to the
time of sailing today will under the
tutelage of Mr.. Imanishi and others
take in the sights of Honolulu and
vicinity.

sustained the Indictment, and the case
will be tried.

THE WAR IN MINDANAO.

progress of the negotiations with the

KOREA IS STARVING
PEOPLE ARE DYING nv mrr1
THOUSANDS.
People Driven to Practice of Cannibal-
ism-Oppression by Officials Adding
to Misery-Sufferers Eating Bark.

The conditions in Korea are said to
be awful on account of the famine
which has existed there for months
past. According to advices received
here by the American Maru, in the
North Chulla province there were 2l,
362 households representing Al 1853 peo-
Tle which were absolutely destitute. SO
desperate have the people become that
they have begun to eat the bark from
trees. One of the trees about a royal
tomb was ruined in this manner and
although the tomb keeper protested,
the suffering people refused to leave
the place. In the morning five of them
were found dead under the tree. This
occurred in the Yyo-ha province.
Matters appear to have reached an
even woTse station in the South Chung
Chung province, where. in the town of
I'M CHI 'uil, Il family was driven to such
a pass that they killed two of the
younger children and, for several days,
lived off the bodies.
OF all the famine stricken districts Of
Whang-ha province, Yun-an is the
worst afflicted. Out of five thousand
houses, two thousand are empty and
scores of dropscal sufferers on the
verge of starvation, are lying beside
the roads.
The famine of the island of Kyo-dong
has resulted in the desertion of sos
houses.
Since the beginning of the famine,
the capital of South Ham-yaung prov
ince has been in a state of Semi-anar-
chy which is the direct result of the
oppression by the officials. In popu-
lar uprising, ten men were killed and
$50 houses destroyed by fire. Relief
has been forwarded to the various dis
tricts by outside agents, but very lit
tie good appears to have resulted In
the more remote sections, as the ofti-
cials are reported to be demanding
that the suffering people turn over
! their money to them for a general fund

INVENTOR IS KILLED
FLYING MACHINE FALLS IN
PARIS
After Some Successful Maneuvers
Aguste sevros Drops from Height OF
Fifteen Hundred Feet.

PARIS, May IL (Monday). The air
ship belonging to Senior Auguste Sew
ros, the Brazilian aerOnaut, made an
ascension this morning, when the air
ship exploded. Sevros, the aeronaut,
and one of his assistants We're killed.
Senior SevrOs' airship, called La Paix
had made two ascensions at the Vau-
gararsa aerostation since May 4th.
Upon both occasions La Paix was held
by rope at the height of forty meters.
In this position the airship maneuvered
for a short time successfully.
La PaiX was not unlike Santos Du-
mOnts airships in appearance, but 1t
differed from them in many details.
PARIS, May 12.-The death of Sem
hor Sevros, the Brazilian aeronaut, who
with an assistant, was killed this morn
ing by the explosion of his airship La
PaiX, in which he was making a trial
trip, created terrible CONSERVATION.
Senior SevrOs started with the inten-
ton of sailing to the military parade
grounds at Issy. With an engineer.
named Sachet, Sevros sailed out of his
baloon-house near the Boulevard de
Naugirade, at $50 a. m.
Suddenly a puff of wind caught the
ship and whirled it over the Avenue du
Maine. The ship turned completely
round and veered about in a fashion
showing control of her had been lost
lnen from the center of the outer en-
yelope tongue of flame darted out.
This was followed by loud report, re-
sembling cannon shot, and the ship,
at that time 1900 feet above the ground,
sank like stone, falling on the roof of
a house, thence into some trees, and
finally reaching the Avenue du Maine,
almost on top of it's occupants, who had
previously been percipitated to the
stone pavement.
The fearfully mangled corpses of Sc
Vros and Sachet were conveyed to a
nelghboring police station. The flame
which caused the explosion burned the
engineer in most shocking manner.
Practically every bone and both skulls
were terribly crushed
Santos DumOnt who has been con-
fined to his bed for three days suffering
from nervous trouble, said today:
From what Lachambre, the builder of
Sevros' and my balloon, says, / think
Sevros lost his head. l understand he
threw out ballast as the airship was
rising rapidly. This, if true, is sufi-
cient to explain the accident Dapid
rising would drive out the gas, through
the valve and send it against the mo-
tors, thus causing an explosion. One,

motors were too near the balloon. No.
the catastrophe does not discourage me,
but | fear there will be a set back to
aerial navigation. 1t will frighten many
persons and discourage those who were
inclined to spend money in such under
takings."

SHE BROKE A RECORD

The America Maru made a new record
for the ships of the ToyO Kisen Kaisha,
on her recent trip from Yokohama. She
made the trip from that port to Homo
lulu in 8 days and 80 minutes, which is
better than the recent performance Of
the Coptic from that port
The America Maru left Hong Kong,
April 2S and after reaching Wosung,
one of the Chinese steerage passengers
died, several hours after the vessel had
been passd by the quarantine officers.
The boat was put into quarantine for
day at WOsung, as it was said that
the man had died of cholera. On reach
Nagasaki however the boat was sub
jected to an additional quarantine of
five days 1t is claimed now that the
Chinese did not die of cholera at all,
but of another disease.
The America Maru left Yokohama
May 10, with the biggest passenger ma
nifest which has ever left that port.
She was full in every department the
passengers doubling up some having to
sleep on the sofas in the dining hall.
For the first few days after leaving
Yokohama, rough weather was expert
enced Alexander Wollner was thrown
against the side of the boat by a heavy
sea, and three of his ribs broken.
Only four cabin passengers stopped at
Honolulu.
Mrs. Porter Boyd, wife of the ship

lightful trip through the Orient.
