TERRIBLE SUFFERINGS OF
CASTAWAYS ON SMALL RAFT

LONDON, November IT, The Daily
Mails correspondent at Wellington ca
bles that the two survivors Of the
wrecked steamer Elangamite who were
rescued on a raft by the British steam
er Penguin went through a dreadful
experience. The raft from which they
were taken measured only seven feet
long by twelve feet wide, and had ten
persons on it when it left the wreck.
The only food on board was two apples.
The first apple was consumed on Tues
day and the second on Wednesday
each being divided into sixteen portions.
From Sunday, the day they We're
wrecked, until Thursday, when they
were rescued, the survivors drifted six
ty miles on the half-submerged raft.
Several attempts We're made to land on
the Three Kings islands.
Three men died on Monday night from
drinking salt water. All of the sur
vivors suffered the tortures Of thirst,
and four other men and the stewardess
died of exhaustion before they were
picked up by the Penguin.
They had a cruel disappointment on

The Public Works
Committee
Finishes.

II the report Of the committee which
has been investigating the condition
of the Public Works Department is
finished this morning, it will be pre-
scented to the senate. The committee
has finished its work of inquiry and
all that remains is to bring the evil
dence into form for submission to that
body. 1t is understood that there will
be no minority report.
The other committees are still hard
at work and there will be, it is thought,
several days elapse before the reports
will be ready for submission. The
committees are making thorough in
vestigations, and the Land Office COM
mlttee, especially, are looking into
various subjects which We're aired be-
fore the commission of senator's VINO
spent October in looking into govern
mental conditions.
The matter of appointments Is still
hanging fire, and while it is said that
no definite conclusion has been reach.
ed on any side. the opinion is freely
expressed that everything will be set
tied to the complete satisfaction OF
both senators and executive. Confer
enCeS have been held between the Gov
ernor and members of the senate and
the Republican committees and the
outlook is for unanimous action upon
the candidates submitted to the senate
by the head of the executive depart
ment. Senator Crabbe and Committee
man Carter spent an hour with the
Governor yesterday and, while they
would not divulge the results of their
discussion. it was Understood last
evening that an appointment to the
place made vacant by the removal of
Auditor Austin may be expected at
once. In fact, it may come to the Sen
ate today. The original intention was
to await action on all the messages Of
the Governor, and then act on all the
appointments at once, but this has
been abandoned and the outlook is that
the vacancies will be filled as soon as
they have been created by the joint
action of the Senate and the Governor.
Governor Dole yesterday afternoon
acted in the case Of Auditor Austin.
The recommendation of the Senate
took such form that the Executive con-
sidered that the best course was to
simply send formal notification to the
former auditor that he had been sep
arated from the office. The note con-
veyed this information in the briefest
possible language.
The session Of the Senate yesterday
was brief and most formal, consisting
OF the reading OF the minutes, with in
structions to the clerk to insert in them
the full report made by the various
committees, and the reading of an ac-
acknowledgements by the secretary of the
Governor of the receipt of the message
concerning the appointments. The ses-
sion adjourned until this morning at
10 o'clock.

of the eruption of Santa Maria volcano.
The country for a radius of over thirty

ans. Ten Indian villages. each with a
population of from so to 800, were WHIP

tons of volcanic debris.
All of the coffee plantations in the
volcanic zone are ruined and their
owners left penniless. The government

to conceal the facts, but they are grad

through the refugees, who are fleeing

While thousand, of people were be

ing for the necessaries of life; while
they were appealing to the Governor
and to the American minister for aid,
nothing was done by either official to
relieve the distress of either natives or
Americans. II is said that Governor
Cabrera not only refused to send re-
lief to the stricken district, but that he
placed a censorship on all news in or
der to prevent information of the dis
aster being given to the world.
In the vicinity of the volcano of
Rosario, which is a small cone lying
at the foot of Santa Maria, all the cof-
Zee fncas are covered with ashes, mud

LEPER CHRISTMAS e
BOX PREPARING

A Christmas box will be sent to the
lepers from the Hawaiian board rooms
as was done in the year previous. But
little time was given the people for
last years box, but over 300 packages
OF sweets and as many individual
gifts, including marbles and tops,
dolls and toys, dress goods, etc, were
prepared and sent to the care of Rev.
J. NJ. Naeole. The committee was care
full not to send expensive or dispropor-
Tomato gifts. 1t has been apt to be
either a feast or a famine over in the
leper settlement at Christmas time and
peoples lavishness and their hearty
desire to do something has frequently
resulted in inappropriate and costly
provision for a few. Clothing will be
acceptable, If it is the kind which the
wearer feels has still use in it. Toys
Of a simple character are always ap-
propriate. Books for children, espec-
tally if they are not damaged so they
have lost their attractiveness, will be
gladly received. However, the Most
useful gift is in the form of money.
which can readily be converted into
lots of materials which storekeepers
can sell in quantities at re-
duction for such a cause. More
over, 1t is the means of provid-
ing candy, etc, which must be
paid for in cash. This box from the
Hawaiian board rooms does not pre-
tend to cover the whole ground: II
simply goes through their agents there
to the large Sunday Schools connecte |
with the Kalawao and Kalaupapa
churches.
Anything sent to rooms 400-402 Bos-
ton building, on on before Saturday
