SENT A BULLET
into STORE WINDOW

About ten o'clock last night some one
shot a hole through one of the large
plate glass windows of the Honolulu
Photo Supply Company's store on Fort
street. The bullet went through the
center of the window at a point where
a small gilded sign had been painted
and also broke the show window glass,
four feet back of the plate glass. A
report, which the police are investigat-
ing, is to the effect that a man in a
hack that was being rapidly driven
down Fort street had fired the shot.
The bullet cut a perfectly round hole,
about half inch in diameter ard also
caused two large cracks.
1t is said that clerks were working
in the store at the time of the occur
renee.

The Hawaiians are in a stew. They
feel insulted and incensed. They sent
six delegates to the convention under
their appointment. Today W. Fl. Hogs

He found there was none left for him
self. He had been given five instead
of six. Then he ascertained that one
of his seats had beer given to the
Porto Rfcans. He has been storming

An island to the westward of The Ha-

Sometime in 1862 or 1868 a Spanish
military officer of high rank came fo
Hawaii from a South American courA-
try. He was the guest of William c.
Malulani Beckley. father of Admiral
George Beckley of the Wilder's Steam
ship Company. The Spanish officer tola

at certain times of the year was over

1t was treasure island to Hawaiians.
for at this period of social history the

quite the rage. The turtles. it was
said, came to this island in great num-
bers to lay their eggs in the sand. ana

of the island, which was said to hzve

Finally the king told Mr.. Beckley that
he would outfit a ship and secure cap
tain for the journey, if Mr.. Beekley
would permit the use of his OWL
schooner, the "Maunakawai," and aJs9
go with the expedition. The vessel was
QUILTED and manned and it saile6
away.
Mr.. Beckley and the captain did nos
get on harmoniously. The latter steer
ed east instead of west. There YVES
trouble on the voyage, but the vesseS
was kept on a course which finally
brought up on the shore of an island
off the coast of Mexico. The place WIZ
covered with goats, but no turtles or
evidences of them, were found there
Beckley had some knowledge OF nysvs
cation. having sailed in former years
with his father, Captain George G.
Beckley, who was one of the prominent
men surrounding Kamellameha the
Great. He had sailed with his father
in the 2O's and 30's to China and South
America, when ship-loads of sandal
wood were transported across the seas
He spoke the Spanish language, hav-
ing spent a couple of years in South
America between the age of twelve an&
fourteen, for during one of his fathers
voyages he was stolen from the ship
by Spaniards.
His knowledge of Spanish assisted
him in ascertaining from the MexicanE
that they were entirely out of their
course, and Mr.. Beckley and the crew
always believed that the captain he'd
endeavored to take the ship into a dig
tant sea, get rid of the Hawaiians, and
sail away to unknown parts in conn
plete possession of the vessel.
The schooner, however, was brought
back to Honolulu, together with tne
crew, the project having been an utter
failure. The Maunakawai remained in
Hawaiian waters for several years
longer but about twenty years ago, old
age and condemnation proceedings pot
her out of the way.
