SOLE SURVIVOR
OF ST, PIERRE

NEW YORK, May 26.-The World
this morning prints a long mail story
from it's correspondent a. Fort de
France under date of May 18th, giving
the experience of Raoul Sartout, the
only person who went through the de-
'struction Of st. Pierre and who was
confined in a dungeon at the time. Sar-
tout heard a faint echo of the rumbling
or Pelee and felt the tremor of the
earth. He succeeded in getting open
the door leading into cell little larg-
er than his, over which there was an
iron grating looking up through the
sidewalk. He stumbled into the apart
ment to find it half-filled with sitting
mass of hot ashes and dust. 1t burned
him severely, and he was not slow TO
retreat to the inner cell from which he
had escaped.
Then came silence that seemed to
paralyze him with fear more than the
first roar that had awakened the Keen
est sense of danger. Finally he sum-
moned up courage to open the cell door
and look into the other apartment. He
was met by wave of dust that chOk-
ed his mouth and nOstrils and half
| blinded him. 1t had cooled, and he
ventured to wade through the soft
! fakylike mass toward the iron graf
ings, and shrieked for help. He did not
close his eyes from the moment he
heard the terrifying roar of the vol
cano until four days later, when his
| shrieks were heard by the first party
| of searchers to invade the stricker
city. Finally a marine from the French
cruiser Suchet rescued the one living
creature in the city.

FOUND SOME SWIPES
COLLECTOR CHAMBERLAIN RAIDS
A JOINT.
Place Beyond Camp Mckinley Where
Liquor Was Made for Soldiers-Out-
fit Seized and Liquor Destroyed.

One of the swipe joints, at least from
which the soldiers at Camp Mckinley
have been getting liquor, is no more,
Internal Revenue Collector r. II. Cham
berlain descended upon it last night and
made a seizure of all the booze" on
hand as well as all the apparatus used
in making it.
The joint raided by the Collector is
beyond Camp Mckinley and is sup
posed to have enjoyed a considerable
soldier patronage. The officers in
charge at the camp have always declar-
ed that there were stills in the vicinity,
and that the men often got drunk
without going near any saloon, but it
has been impossible to locate the places
up to this time. Some weeks ago the
United States officers made a sudden
evening trip to Waikiki and beyond the
camp, and it was reported that they
We're after such Il joint, but they failed
to locate anything. They kept on the
alert, however, and last night success
/ came.
The Joint that was raided was run
! by natives. The latter were not taken
| into custody at once Their outfit was
! taken in charge and locked up, and
| Chamberlain destroyed two barrels OF
| sWipes, retaining some samples of the
stuff The apparatus was a mysterious

The liquor is described as a fearful
| mixture. 1t is genuine swipes, the ole
Hawaiian drink terribly powerful anC
! having a lasting effect. The interna
revenue officers refrained from ever
tasting it, for it did not look inviting
| or even clean.
| This morning Chamberlain went witt

cure the still and take other steps fol

comes under the same head, as far a.
the federal government is concerned. as
the manufacture of okolehao, or any
other intoXicant without an internal re

DISCHARGE REFUSED
PHILLIP FRIELMANS BANK
RUPTCY PETITION.
No Assets and Creditors All in San
Francisco and the Court Becomes
Suspicious.

Judge Estee this morning refused to
grant Phillip Friedman his discharge in
bankruptcy. because the creditors are
all in San Francisco and there was no
evidence that they had been notified of
the proceedings here in time to make
any objection. The judge remarked
that it looked like a case of coming
to Honolulu for the purpose of going
through bankruptcy, and he continued
the matter for four weeks.
Friedman filed his petition in volun-
tary bankruptcy some weeks ago, CIV
ing his debts at over $500 and his assets
at nothing at all The usual procedure
was gone through and this morning he
came INTO court for a final discharge
Estee, however, had been looking at the
papers in the case, and had few ques-
tiOns to put.
Friedman replied in answer to ques-
tions that his bankruptcy was volun-
tary. He had lived in Honolulu a yeal
and four months and had worked part
of the time, in cigar store.
What business were you in wher
you flied this petition?" asked the
court.

HE MIGHT HAVE
SAVED ST. PIERRE
GOVERNOR MOUTTET WARNED
OF THE IMPENDING
CATASTROPHE.
REFUSED TO MAKE IT PUBLIC
AND DIED.
Prof. Landes of the University of ST..
Pierre Went Down Into the Crater
Before the Outbreak.

NEW YORK May ga cable to the
Herald from Fort de France says: 1t
is now known that the lives of all in st.
Pierre would have been saved had it
not been for the action of Governor
MOuttet. He had been given official
warning of the coming cataclysm. That
warning reached him several days be-
fore the disaster of May Sth. He chose
TO disregard it, and even went so far
as to order that the warning should be
kept from the public.
Professor Lanues of the University of
st. Pierre had been instructed by Gov
ernOr Mouttet to make an investigation
OF Mont Pelee. At the imminent risk
OF his life, Landes went to the crater of
the volcano. He found that the forces
at work were such as to make an ex-
plosion certain. Hurrying back to st.
Pierre he sent cipher dispatch to the
Governor in which he gave warning
that the volcano would not hold itself
in check much longer. He even went
so far as to predict the total destruc-
ton of the city of St. Pierre not later
than May Sth.
Instead of acting on the advice of
Landes, Mouttet went to st. Pierre and
tried to aIlay the fears of it's inhabi-
tants. He ordered Landes to say moth
ing about the conclusions he had
reached. Mouttet said that if st. Pierre
was destroyed he would remain tC
share the fate of the inhabitants. Ian
des acquiesced, saying he, too, would
remain. Both lost their lives on May
Sth, though MOuttet was trying to es'
cape when it was too late. The cipher
message of warning sent by Landes /!
still in existence, but it is kept Secre
by the Government.

SUPPLIES FOR
ST, VINCENT

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Adjutant-
General Corbin has received the fol-
lowing cablegram from Captain j. Gal
lagher, commissary department, dated
ST. Vincent, May oath:
1.-THE area of devastation in st. Vim
cent is about twelve square miles in
the northern extremity. The pOpula-
tion of this area was 5000, of which 1900
lost their lives, the remainder escaping
by fight to Kingstown and other
places. 1t was no such overwhelming
catastrophe as at st. Pierre, yet many
people are to be sustained by the pub
lie because many escaped. Outside of
the area devastated no great damage
was done, but the people are very ap-
prehensiVe This condition will not
abate until the volcano, which is still
active, subsidies. A second eruption oc-
Cured on the 18th, but no additional
damage was done. Supplies of all kinds
from the Dixie were most gratefully re-
ceiVed, and will, with what was on
hand provide for the present popula-
tion for three months. Lumber for re-
building is asked. Nothing is known OF
any disturbances outside of st. Vincent
and Martinique.
Now that the emergency has been
met would advise/ sending supplies
gradually and only after inquiry as tc
the actual needs, as a great quantity
sent at once might prove more embar-
RAISING than beneficial. The stores or
the Dixie were well selected"
Secretary Moody also received the
following cablegram from Captain
Berry of the Dixie, dated st. Lucia
May 26th:
Dixie discharging the remainder o
her stores at Kingstown, where they
are most needed. Provisions are nov
on hand for several months. Lumber
for houses needed. The volcano is ac
tive, but no additional damage. Care
of the rescued and injured, approx
mately SOOO we'll in hand by local au
thorlties.'
A telegram was received announcing
the departure of the Potomac from 81
Lucia today, bound for San Juan
Porto Rico.

WAS ROBBED OF COLD
SALOON KEEPER LOSES OVER

Some one Stole it Last Week-Sev-
eral People Suspected.

a bold burglary was committed some
time last week at Iwilei, the thief Sc
curing $500 in gold by the trick The
Iwilei saloon which is run by a Spanidrd
who goes by the name of George Adams
piciOn is attached to several people but
as yet, the detectives have made no ar
rests
Adams kept his gold concealed under
mattress which was on the floor of
his bed room, just off of the saloon. On
Tuesday and Wednesday Of last week,
he had Il man repairing the beer pump
which is in the bed room. In taking the
pump apart, the beer spilled over the
floor and some of it ran under the mat
tress, Adams expressed the opinion that
perhaps in wiping up the over flow,
some body about the saloon might have
discovered the gold and taken it. On
the other hand, Adams thinks that a
Porto Rican woman who had frequently
visited his room, might have learned of
the presence of the gold and possessed
herself of it, A native boy was seen to
have considerable money and the Off
GERS are trying to learn how he came
by so much wealth, as he seldom ever
had any before last week
The stolen money was entirely in, gOlu

TWO EXPLOSIONS
OF THE VOLCANO
<ILAUEA BREAKS OUT WITH
ASHES AND SULPHUR
SUNDAY.
ERUPTIONS WITHIN THREE
HOURS OF EACH OTHER.
Gases Cause Sudden Upheavals-Mana-
ger Waldron Expects Eruption Al
most Any Time

According to Manager Waldron OF
the Volcano House, an outbreak at XII
lauea is daily expected. IN Idct, two
explosions OF gas accompanied by large
quantities Of sulphur ana RED asues oc-
Cured last Sunday and MIR. Waldron
seemed to think that these portended
a big eruption
News of the explosions was brought
this morning by Furser Wuie sinner
son of the steamer ,Mauna Loa which
arrived from her FeguIar hona and
Kau run.
Manager Waldron telephoned to Pur-
| ser SimersOn on last Sunday morning
| that at u. IN. of that DAY, there had
been a big explosion of gas at the vol
| cano. This explosion nau Decn accom-
panied by a large quantity OF red ashes
| and fumes of-sulphur. Later in the
afternoon, Simerson received a second
| message from Waldron. The second
/ message announced that at noon on
! sunday, three hours later than the
| liTst explosion, a second upheaVal had
| occurred at Kilauea. Quantities of red
ashes and sulphur fumes were thrown
into the air by the explosion. Mana
| ger Waldron made no reference to
there having any earthduake felt nor.
| indeed, did he mention that any damage
had been done by the two explosions.
| These telephone message were received
at HonuapO. The Mauna Loa sailed
from that port at p. m. last Sunday.
Yesterday morning Purser Simerson
heard again from Manager WaldrOn,
the Mauna Loa being then at Kailua,
the last port where she stops on Ha-
wall. The message yesterday announc-
ed that there had been no more explos-
ions at the volcano, but the smoke and
steam were rising in large quantities,
and Manager Waldron stated that he
expected an eruption very soon
| Passengers aboard the Mauna Loa
saw an unusually large quantity of
smoke arising from the crater OF XII
lauea on Sunday morning. They did
not at that time know the cause, but,
after they had been Informed by Pur-
, ser Simerson of the news of the two
explosions, they readily understood the
cause for so much smoke.
Inquiry was made by Purser Sinner
son at the various points along the
KOna and Kau costs regarding the re-
p ported outbreak of MOkuaweOweo over
week ago No one at Kau had seen
p the fire and in fact We're inclined to
4 doubt the report. On the other hand,
$ Mr.. SimersOn was told by people at
Hookena, the same place where Cap
, tain Townsend of the gasoline schooner
. Eclipse learned of the reported out
break, that MokuaweOweO had famed
r up on Friday and Saturday nights of
f week before last, the two dates that
n Townsend reported it.

KsulIa Funeral at Kaumakapili

After a long discussion the Home
Rule executive committee last evening
decided that the funeral OF the late
James *. Kaulia, the chairman OF the
committee, should be held at $3.50 o'clock
Sunday afternoon from kaumakapin
chapel, Palama. There was a vast
amount of talk over proposal that
the funeral be held from the Kawaiahso
church, but thiS was not carried, owing
to the fact that the deceased was "a
member of the other congregation.
The pallbearers, IL was said, have not
been chosen, although several names
are under discussion. There will be
two representatives OF the former royal
family, two members OF the Home Rule
committee, two members of the Bar AS
sociation and two men from the Long
shoremen's Union.
The committee will attend the funeral
in a body and will have charge of 1t in
, every way. The outlook is for an i'm
mense turnout upon the occasion.
There was some discussion of the min
ute which is to be adopted by the COM
mittee to show it's respect for the mem
! DRY of the dead leader, and all OF these
| details will be attended to by the COM
mittee which was appointed for the
! purpose of making arrangements for

Cuban Reciprocity Bill.

WASHINGTON, April H.-Interest
in the Cuban reciprocity bill is waning
and the Republican opponents OF 1t are
determined to prolong the struggle as
much as possible by refusing to allow
speeches to be printed in the Record.
Robinson of Indiana opposed Cuban
annexation on the ground that 1t would
threaten the welfare of the American
wage-earner. Mccall said the objec-
tion that reciprocity would kill the
beet sugar industry had no solid
foundation. Stevens OF Minnesota OPP
posed the bill. The men who had gone
to Cuba and were pressing Congress to
give relief were men who went there
to amass fortunes. They were sugar
barons, not Cubans Stevens describ-
ed the threat OF annexation as a DO

cause of this survival, especially where
