SEVEN STREAMS
LAVA FLOWING
CONFIRMATION OF REPORT THAT
LAVA IS FLOWING DOWN IS
BROUGHT BY ECLIPSE.

From the latest information from
Kona, lava is flowing out of Mokua-
weoweo. Positive confirmation of this
report was brought yesterday after
noon by Captain Gahan of the gasoline
schooner Eclipse which arrived from
Napoopoo and Kailua. |
Captain Gahan states that he could
distinctly see the reflection all of last
week, eVe"y night and during the day
time the smoke was also visible from
Kailua as the atmosphere was clear.
He states that the cowboys from the
upper Greenwich ranch have seen the
lava flowing. They reported it to the
ranch people and the latter in turn,
reported the occurrence to Kailua. At
Kailua Captain Gahan learned the de-
tails.
The lava appears to be flowing at
first in seven streams. The streams
are not thought to be very large but
lower down the mountain, they have
united into two streams and these are
of considerable volume. Both of these
streams We're reported to be following
the 1887 flow and We're going in the
direction of Kahuku ranch, as was
! originally reported by wireless from
/ Hilo. The display was especially brill
| liant on Friday night, fire could be
/ plainly seen from Kailua.
! According to a wireless message re-
| oeived yesterday however, the lava was
still in the upper crater of Mokuaweo-
weo. This dispatch stated that
the lava had not up to that time,
burst from the confines of the crater.
The information from the Greenwell
place is the more likely to be correct
on this score than the information from
Hilo, as the people on the Greenwich
ranch claim TO have actually viewed
the flowing lava. Evidently the lava
is not running very rapidly, or IT
would have reached the lower slopes
or the mountain by this time. The
eruption occurred exactly a week age
today The dispatch received is as
follows

KIDNAPPED IN
BROAD DAYLIGHT
JAPANESE WOMAN FORCIBLY AT
Tackled BY TWO MEN PUT INTO
HACK AND DRIVEN AWAY.

\ bold case of Kidnapping was re-
ported to the police this morning. The
victim of the kidnappers was a Japa-
nese woman. The abduction of the
woman was committed in broad day
light this morning at the corner Of
King and Alapai streets.
Mrs. o. H. Gulick reported the oc-
currence to the authorities. She states
that a Japanese woman who had been
working for her for some time, started
in company with Mrs. Gulick this
morning a few minutes after o'clock
for the bakery. Shortly after the pair
had left the Gulick place a Japanese
hack with two men inside drove UP to
the sidewalk close to them. The man
jumped out, grabbed the Japanese
woman, threw her into the hack and
drove away with her. hurrying along
Alapai street as fast as possible. No
attempt was made to steal Mrs. Gulick.
Mrs. Gulick saw another japanese
man on the other side of the street. She
called to him to come to the assistance
of the struggling woman. The Jap
evidently thought it safer for him on
his own side of the street so he re-
manned. The kidnappers were suffered
to drive away with their victim,
Mrs. Gulick recognized one of the
! Japs as husband of the stolen wo-
man. 1t appears that the Japanese
woman had separated from her hus-
band some time ago. Evidently the
man has been hanging about and
watching his opportunity of abduct-
ing his wife The Japanese woman
I did not, Mrs, Gulick thinks, care to go
with the man. The police were notified
and have sent officers to search for the
! abduCtors.
