Withal Russia has a tremendous
stretch of territory to protect while
its field army is operating. Another
uncertain quantity is the efficiency u

period of war preparation have sug-
sested that Russia cannot move her
troops and supplies over this road as
rapidly as desired under the most fav-

and the church and Sumner himself
were to receive the proceeds.

water Of last night undermined the
earth upon which the supports were
standing and precipitated 1t upon the
big water main Of the Water Works
Department, making travelling across
very dangerous indeed The only way
to get across with a carriage is by UNI
hitching the horse and taking each
across separately. Even then it is
dangerous.
The big water main referred to has
burst as a result of the perfect deluge
of water that swept down during the
night and the whole place is flooded.
CABLE CONDUIT SETTLES.
The cable conduit from the hut at
Sans Souci las settled down on ac-
count of the undermining OF the earth
upon which 1t rested but no damage
has been done to the cable itself.
Fortunately, the car track is intact,
so that people living on the other side
can get to their homes without any
trouble.
MAkikI SUFFERS.
Makiki is the section which was
hardest hit by the storm last night,
damage being done on every hand.
While people slept, their beautiful dec
orative trees were being felled and
their fences being undermined by the
silent agency of the water.
Near the Holt home, between Ana
punt and Makiki streets, the water
simply flooded the place and did great
damage In the directions already men,
toned, as well as others. 1t was stated
at the Road Department Office this
morning that one more rain storm
like the one of last night would result
in a number of barns of the district
being undermined and carried away.
MANoA BRIDGE DOWN.
The Manoa bridge on the eastern,
or lower, branch of the road will no
longer admit of traffic. 1t was report
ed at the Road Department Office that
the whole thing had gone to pieces and
IL was hanging by one timber only.
BAND STAND CRUSHED.
At the home OF II. p. Cummins on
King street, In Pawaa, great big tree
| fell athwart the band stand which has
been standing three for years and made
! kindling wood of the structure. In the
stand were table and number of
chairs belonging to the First Precinct
Club of the Fourth District, Republican
party. Mr. Cummins said he was un-
able to find anything but few legs
this morning.
STREET UNDERMINED.
A complaint came In from Spencer
Avenue, between Alapai and Hackfeld
streets, to the effect that the rain had
made great holes in and undermined
many portions of the thoroughfare,
making 1t dangerous to traffic.
The fence at the government wash
house In Iwiliei, was rooted up by the
water and the foundations of the house
itself were more or less undermined

OUT AT kAPIOlANi.

The torrents OF water which inundat-
ed Kapiolani Park caused considerable
trouble. The whole park was flooded
and loose benches, etc, had to be res
oued from the waters and restored to
terra firma. The park stable was
flooded to such an extent that one Of
the large feed boxes was carried down
the stream. A Chinese stable boy over
took it and seating himself in the box
raddled back by means of shovel.
CAMP M'kiNLEY BAD.
At Camp Mckinley the officers Jared
pretty badly. The floors OF their tents
are not very high Off the ground and
some of them were covered with sew
eral feet of water, doing some damage.
Captain Douglass was especially un-
fortunate as he had quite a number Of
effects damaged by water. The only
commissioned officers who escaped in
convenience from the storm were the
commanding officer and the doctor, who
occupy cottages. The men, whose bar
racks are high up from the ground,
suffered no inconvenience.

CONCRETE BRIDGE GONE.


The fine new concrete bridge at
Moiliili which was built by Lord 4 Bel
ser at a cost of $4,000 and which was
just completed a short time ago, was
disabled by the flowing torrent at about
$3.50 o'clock this morning. Although
the cement foundations were sunk TO
Il depth of six feet below the bed Of
the stream. this was not sufficient. The
turbulent water worked around the
mauka, Eva corner and finally under
mined the foundation, causing 1t to
sink. This threw such a strain on tho
bridge that the material gave away.
On the mauka side long crack runs
horizontally over the arch, while two
large vertical cracks have literally d.
vided the wall into three sections. On
the makai side a long, wide crack starts
from the Eva corner and goes in an
angle across the arch. The roadbed
across the bridge is not cracked but
has sunk considerably.
