1000 bonds originally. The remaining
bonds were all put out as security for
loans by Kapea, for which he gave his
note. Generally the amount loaned
was eighty per cent Of the par value
of the bond. Treasurer Gait OF the
Trust Company took up all these notes
and secured the bonds. The company's
actual loss is $4,000.
It was definitely learned yesterday
morning that Kapea left for Japan on
the China last Saturday, and it is be-
Iieyed that he was accompanied by Fer
nandaz. The latter has been missing
since the day the China left, and his
wife said yesterday that she had no
knowledge of his whereabouts.
On the day prior to the China's 1eav-
ing, Kapea left two bundles at the local
messenger office, which were later sent
to the steamer. He came in during
the day and took a coat from one OF
the bundles. and at the same time left
the note, telling of his contemplated
suicide, which was not to be delivered
until Sunday morning. 1t was discov-
cred also that two steerage tickets Tor
the China were sold by Hackfeld & Co.
last Saturday morning. The purchas-
erS gave their names as r. Peters and
Chas. Jones.
Kapea cannot be extradited under the
present treaty with Japan. Provision
is made for the extradition of public
officers charged with embezzlement of
government funds, but it does not ap-
ply to offenses against private cor
porations. The former treaty cover
ed embezzlement of private funds as
well. For some reason this was omitted
in the new treaty. Mr.. Gait hopes,
however, to secure the return of both
Kapea and Fernandez, the latter on the
charge Of negotiating a stolen instru-
mem.
A request will be made to Consul
General Saito to be forwarded the Jap
anese Minister at Washington. for the
arrest of the two young men, upon
their arrival in Yokohama. The cable
will be used in acquainting the Japan
ase government with the nature of the
offense, and a request viii be made
hat the men be apprehended when the
China touches at Yokohama. This it is
that the Japanese government
viii consent to do. out of its friendship
'or the United States, and every in
luence will be brought to bear to bring
ibout the result. If the two men an
detained, an officer viii be sent from
honolulu to bring them back for trial.

Wants Hawaii's
Pest.

Hawaii has an opportunity at hand to
get rid of its mongoose. They are
wanted in the Orient and a gentleman
of this city is willing to listen to over
lures for their sale from those who
have any
This is a big chance TO rid the Is
lands of what has in late years been
considered a pest. When the mongoose
was first brought to Hawaii it was
turned loose in order to rid the cane
fields of rats. The mongoose proved
most efficient rat catcher, but in time
he seemed to be surfeited with this
sort of game and turned to hen coops
for more refined meal of chicken and
eggs Chicken raisers have been pes
cred with visits of the animal for years.
The mongoose is a successful snake
killer, and it is probable that they are
now wanted in certain portion OF
China for this purpose.
Exporting mongoose to Asia is al
most like carrying Goals to Newcastle.

lights at irregular intervals. The signal
tower signaled that the lights were not

AT this moment the Pallada's cap

out the outlines of the torpedo boat de-
stroyers' smokestacks in pairs, amid
ships. AS the stacks of the Russian
destroyers are in line fore and aft. the
crews of the Russian ships were in
stantly called to quarters.
In less than three minutes the Pal

on the on-coming Japanese. The bat

A terrible explosion occurred under
the hull of the Pallada, raising tor
rent of water which submerged the

firing or maneuvering, which now,

other under the stern of the Ces are

attack, the Japanese vessels retiring at
full speed.

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds in watch Cases.

According to an article In the Cincin-
natl Commercial, a fifty-one pound stone
was recently found in that city secreted
in a bale of hay of eighty pounds.
This Is not as bad as finding a lump OF
lead of nearly one-half the weight OF the
solid gold watch case secreted in the CEN
ire Of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight, and
no one can see where this lead is secreted
until the springs of the case are taken out
and the lead Will be found secreted behind
them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest, but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public. 1t Is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he
has lugged a lump Of lead In his watch
case.
Another trick of the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case
"U. S. Assay" The United States does
not stamp any article made out OF gold and
silver except coin, and the fakir. by using
this stamp, wants to make the public be-
lieve that the Government had something
to do with the stamping or guaranteeing
the fneness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakir is tt
advertise a watch described as a solid gole
filled watch with a twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gener
ally sent G.. o. D., and if the purchaser hal
paid for the watch he ind that the com
pany which guaranteed the watch to wea
Is not in existence.

of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex
posing these frauds, will furnish the name
