IT'S A CASE OF GUESS.
No Definite News as to What the Ri
val Fleets Are Doing.

Paris. May 19.-The apparently COM
pletc disappearance of the Russian Far
Eastern fleet leads to the belief that
either a battle is imminent or that .Ad-
miral Roiestvcnsky has succeeded in
establishing a naval base. On the other
hand it is pointed out here that the po-
sition of the feet, May 16, in latitude
1:.S0 ana longitude 11.30. indicated that
it might have been decided to follow Il
course north of LuZon into the Pacific
instead of going through the straits OF
Formosa. where Admiral Togo is be-
icved to be awaiting Admiral Rojest-
Vensky.
1t is maintained the Japanese dilfi-
cultics have been increased by their
inability to determine whether the
Russians are proceeding unitedly or
have divided their fleet into two squad
rons Some experts maintain that the
fleet has been divided for the purpose
of permitting one division to reach
Vladivostnk while the other occupies
the attention of Admiral Togo.
Naval circles here are disposed to
criticise the Japanese tactics in fall
ing to harass RojestveEsky's trans
pnrts during the long period of taking
supplies. The results of Rojestvcnsky's
movements are being awaited with in
tense interest in official quarters.

Honolulu and the islands generally
are known as sending a large number
of its boys and girls to mainland col

will leave for the States. There is
hardly a big college in the country
that does not enroll among it's stu

general rule they take a promine nt
part in university life, both athletic
ally and intellectually.
Yale and Harvard contain the larg-

they have had a Yale Harvard Ha-

University is the only college in the
West having an Hawaiian club. and
it contains a dozen or more members
Berkeley has as large number of

FOUND DEAD
Body in Kapiolani Park
--Probable Case OF
Suicide.

The body Of John Gibb, whose recent
disappearance caused a police investi-
cation. was found in Kapiolani Park
yesterday afternoon, lying on its face
in the lagoon just mauka of the Makee
Island grandstand, and it is evident
that he carried into effect his threat
of suicide
The body was found in the water of
the lagoon which is not over two or
three feet deep, and was removed to
the morgue last night. H. H. Williams
took charge of the remains later in the
evening, and the funeral services will
be held at the undertaking parlors
this morning at 10 o'clock, the inter-
ment being in the Nuuanu cemetery,
where he will be buried beside his wife.
The suicide, of Gibb, for such it
seems to be, and the events leading up
to it are such as to excite much SYM
pathy.
A little over six months ago, Glib,
who is 80 years old, married a young
lady from New Zealand. They had
