Just then the side of the hospital aft
was stove in and five unfortunates
therein were hurled to the floor, happi-
ly none the worse except for drench-
ing.
About midnight the steam steering
gear was carried away, and but for the
careful handling of the steamer by the
commander standing on the bridge in
drenching rain and flying spume, under
sky of inky blackness, serious trouble
might have resulted. Steering by the
twin screws, Chief officer Bennington
undertook to get the steering gear to
work, in which he was finally success
full. The courageous actions of the off,
GERS averted the fatal troughing of
the ship.
Shortly after midnight the glass had
risen to 2S.6O and the worst was over.
The passengers refer to Captain Going,
Mr.. Bennington, Chief Engineer Thorn
son, Purser Bemis and the remaining
officers in terms of the highest praise.

"A IA FIFTH the demolition yesterday Of
V " structure on Union street there
passed into the memory of Ho-
rolulans all that remained of the fa-
nous old BELL Tower building, the
former headquarters of the volunteer
fire department. The former pride of
the members of the band of volunteer
fire fighters has succumbed by degrees
to the march of progress and has now
entirely disappeared.
The building was originally construct
ed In three sections. Above the center
one, tall tower reared itself skyward.
In the topmost part was huge bell,
and there a watchnan gazed out over
the sleeping city nightly ready at the
first flash to sound the alarm. In one
of the wings the Mechanics Engine
Company No. 2 had it's quarters with
an engine, and in the other the hook
and ladder apparatus was kept. The
last portion to go yesterday was that
of the hook and ladder section. Through
the wide doors of the old BELL Tower
headquarters the volunteers, whose
survivors are now men getting well
along in years, hurried the apparatus
out when an alarm was turned in and
ran to the fire. hauling at the ropes. for
no horses were then in commission.
The headquarters was a great gath
ering place for the members and many
good times are recorded as having TAX
fen place in the building. James Renton
of Kohala built the structure in 1858.
The tall bell tower was finally cut down
become dangerous. Up to the time the
building was condemned in the COS it
was the headquarters. With the COM
pletion of the new and handsome CEN
trail station on Beretania and Fort
street, the Bell Tower was abandoned,
and fell into disuse. How the mighty
have fallen is literally expressed in it's
final destruction, for Japanese bought
it for $50.
The Polyneslan of January 5. 1850,
speaks of the first fire engine purchas-
ed for Honolulu as follows: I'VE are
requested by His Exceliency the Minis

HERE TO FIND OUT WHO
GOVERNS ISLE OF PINES
Residents Do Not Know,
and Have Sent to Learn.

The question whether the Isle of Pines
beIolgs to the United States OF to
Cuba is just now worrying The three OF
four hundred American citizens on that
body Of land S H. Pearcy, Of Nueva
Corona, Isle Of Pines, who arrived yes
terday and is at the New Willard, is
here to learn, if possible, from the State
Department or other officials Of the ad-
ministration If the Americans who went
to the island after the ratifcatio of
the Paris treaty are citizens Of The
United States OF citizens of Cuba
Mr. Pearcy is vice president Of the
Isle of Pines Company. and a director
in several other corporations connected
with the island.
It's q curious state of affairs" he
said, last evening Up TO the 20tn of
last May we were satisfied that We
were citizens Of the United States, but
on the day Of the withdrawal of Ameri-
can authority over Cuba the Isle of Pines
was temporarily turned over to the
Cuban government.
The Americans on the island are in
a quandary and they have sen: me to
Washington to investigate and learn just
where we stand The Cubans really
exercise no authority over US, except
that they have on the Isle of Pines eight
guards TO preserve order, and al al
caldc, or minor judicial officer
In point Of fact there is no more
law on the island than there is in an
African jungle In Nuev2 Corona, the
chief town Of the Isle Of Pines, -yhich
has a population Of about S00 We have
not a judge, notary public, justice of he
peace. constable, nor magistrate If you
want any papers executed you must go
to Bejucal, the nearest Cuban town TO
the island. It's distance is a hundred
miles, sixty miles by water and forty
miles by rail. The boat leaves for Be
jucaI but once a week.
More than one-haIf of the Isle of
Pines Is now owned by Americans
Originally the land was owned by wen

[ lived in Spain The island served as a

! Of Pines to become acclimated before
transferring them TO Cuba.
a penal colony was also maintained
on the island by SPAN. It is remark
able fact that case Of yellow fever
was never known on the island
IN natural resources the Isle of Pines
is really richer than Cuba. We have
vegetables all the year around, and in
December and January we have the most
delicious watermelons and canteloupes to
be found
We heard in Nueva Corona that the
United States Government was negotiat-
ing a treaty with Cuba whereby the Isle
OF Pines was to be given to Cuba in
exchange for certain concessions asked
for by the United States. We do not
know what the concessions are, but we
are decidedly opposed to being turned
over 10 the Cuban government without
so much as asking our leave.
''Tha Cubang do not like the Ameri-
cans, and they are opposed 10 annexa-
ton. They ara ungrateful and distrust
