COWBOY CHINESE
AS HIGHWAYMEN

The Hongkong Telegraph, under the
heading Chinese Cowboys Bushrang-
ing in Kwangtung'-which is surely n
confusion Of terms-tells the following
remarkable story:
To say that China is still asleep, ano
has not followed in the wake of West
ern powers Is a fallacy, as far as crime
Is concerned For the past three
weeks band Of eight mounted mel,
on wiry ponies and dressed in the cos
tunes of typical cowboys, with large
SLOUGH hats and armed with Winches-
tiers and revolvers, have been holding
up pawnshops and pedestrians in the
prefecture of 81 Chew and Shun TAX.
These rufiiians are all Chinese ana
have recently returned from the States.
The guards are powerless against
them, while the local authorities have
devised every means to capture them,
but to no purpose. One Of our repre-
sentatives had the good fortune In
come across one of the victims, ana
from him we learn that these robbers,
are we'll educated men, and when coh-
versing among themselves use the
English language! Their homes have
not been located, but 1t Is believed they
came from some of the surrounding
districts. At the beginning Of last
month the band held up a rich pawn
shop, and after empowering the in
mates. carried loot away to the tune
OF $4,000.
AS our informant observes. these
men then galloped off and as parting
salute emptied their revolvers into the
air." The affair has quite n smacking
OF cowboy life, and brings 10 mind the
days when Australia and America were
the homes OF desperadoes.

carried out with clocklikc precision.
An anchor was rugged and dropped
over the bow of the Silyertown. When
ii had struck the deep bottom another
buoy, OF the same type as the main
buoy, was attached to the wire hawser
which connects the anchor with the
latter. After this had been accom-
plished the buoy was easily dropped
overheard. This IN located in such II
position that should the cable attached
to the other buoy break 1t could be
easily recovered by graphing. as the
steamer would start from the marking
one and drag the oceans bottom RICH,
across the line where the cable would
lie.
After placing this buoy and seeing
that the main buoy was still in posi-
ton, the steamer put about for Homo
lulu, and on the way in sighted the
buoy off Diamond Head and found It
to be all right.
The vessel arrived off the harbor
about o'clock An Advertiser report
er went on board, and was told by thl
officers that very heavy weather pre-
vailed in the channel during the day
until this moderates before the end OF
the cable can be picked up and connec-
tons made with Honolulu.
Mr.. Benest, chief of the cable laying
expedition, told the reporter last night
that the vessel would now have to wait
for better weather, but he hoped that
the weather of last evening would not
be severe enough to carry away the
buoy at the cables end.
remain to be laid to connect the cable
already in place and give direct com
munication with the Coast.
Officers of the vessel had hoped yes
terday to be able to get the cables
end on board and have an opportunity
to send messages to San Francisco
from the vessel describing the work
they had already accomplished. but,
OF course, this was impossible. In the
weather Of yesterday, even had it been
possible, it would have been a tre-
mendous risk to have taken the cable
on board the Silvertown, as the strain
caused by the heavy seas might have
broken it, and as it would have been
hazardous work to have made connec-
tons and carried it through the channel
even further delay might have result
ed from a break in the cable than now
results through yesterdays weather.
Pilot Lorensen came into town lasr
night with Pilot Macauley, who went
out to meet the vessel, and some OF
the officers of the vessel will likely
come ashore early this morning.

NO SITE FOR
RESERVOIR
HilO Water Works
System Held
Up.

The Hilo waterworks system Is held
up because of the failure OF former
superintendent Boyd TO secure "A site
for the reservoir at the time the prof.
ect was first launched When the bids
were called for by Superintendent
Cooper few months ago It was In
conformity with plans submitted ana
approved by Mr.. Boyd some time pre-
vious, but now 1t has been discovered
that the site for the proposed reservoir,
though on government land, is encnn,-
bered by twenty year leases.
II was intended to build the reset
voir on the plains of Piihonua, a large
tract of land above Hilo, which was
easily accessible from the springs, and
which, 1t Is agreed, was the best posi-
BILE site for the proposed reservoir.
The bids were called for and received,
with the understanding that the res
ervoir was to be dug out of the soft
volcanic rock of Piihonua, and 1t was
with good deal of surprise that It
was learned. after the contract had
been virtually let that the government
had leased the land where it was pro-
posed to build the reservoir. The land
is owned by the government. but Is
leased to Colonel Baker, who in turn
has sub-leased it to a Mr.. Turner At
tempts to buy the leases from Turner
have been met with n price which was
considered eXorbitant by Superintend-
ent Cooper, and the Piihonua site has
been abandoned.
Mr.. Cooper will decide upon the sit.
for the reservoir upon his visit TO
Hilo next month and has several
places in view upon which it Is expect
ed the bids now made will stand.

Hawaiian singers. who have been in
this country several months and who
were in Washington for a while last
winter:
Thousands in the Capital during the
last six months have been charmed by
the melody of group of dark-hued
visitors the melody of far-off Hawaii.
The auditors have noted its strange
sweetness, its dangerous tenderness, its
soothing softness, and then again, at
times it's wild, weird notes. There have
been the telling of joy and the touch of
gayety in 1t, but there has been, too,
something telling of melancholy,
yearning note, as Of suffering. Perhaps
it was in the music-there Is that In
the melody of their land; but there
have been those, perhaps, who OWNED
that back of it all there was more than
the mere expression of the notes. These
were right there was a heart-aChe in
the song, and in the yearning note there
was a real longing, loneliness,
homeslCkness.

IN . ,: es"'a connection was made
The cable steamer Silver
town returned to Honolulu last night
and anchored on the harbor, where
she Will lay until the weather model
ates, as she was unable 10 make the
cable connection with the deep sea
cable with is attached to "A buoy off
Makapuu Point.
The weather was very rough there
during yesterday and last nisnt, ana
fears are entertained that the buoy
supporting the cables end may be car
ried away, as a marking buoy, similar
to the one 10 which the cable is at
tached, had already been carried away.
After laying the intermediate cable
connecting the Honolulu shore end
with the deep sea cable and buoying IL
off Diamond head yesterday, the steam
Ell proceeded to the place where the
deep sea cable is buoyed off Makapuu
Point. Captain Morton had secured
the services of Pilot Lorensen, who ac-
companied the vessel. The weather
was very boisterous in Molokai cha
mel and the seas were almost mountain
high sweeping over the decks of >the
big vessel very often.
The steamer had no difficulty III
finding the main cable buoy, but the
marking air bulb, one exactly like the
one supporting the cable end, and pre-
viously anchored one mile north of the
first buoy, was missing. This latter
buoy had been held in place by mush-
room anchors, and should have held
even after the first under worse condi-
lions than would have to exist before
the end of the cable buoy would give
way, but the steamer could not find IL
yesterday. Whether it had been car
ried away by the sea, or in a collision
with vessel, is not known. The seas
were so choppy that it was impossible
with the cable buoy. Any boat which
would have been put over the Silver
towns side in the heavy seas encoun-
tered yesterday would have been
smashed up as soon as it struck the
water. Under these conditions it was
decided to make no attempt to get the
cable end aboard ship and splice it
yesterday to the cable that would
have to be laid to connect with the end
buoyed off Diamond Head. But tn.
marking buoy had to be replaced, and
in quick time another buoy was got
ready and heaved overheard in the
same place as the other marking buoy
had been.
Captain Lorensen says that the work
of placing this buoy in the water Was
