bursting out of the volcano. With 1t,
the earthquakes Immediately ceased. I'll
came in a place where no volcano had
ever existed before, in fact it broke
through the earth's crust in a valley
between high hills. The valley is now
utterly changed, of course, for it has
resolved itself into a mountain several
hundred feet in heighth and is growing
taller all the time. The lava flow has
proceeded for, roughly speaking, about
two miles but 1t has yet a considerable
distance to go before it reaches the sea.
1t is near a place called Matautu,
Il am glad to say that there is no
panic among the natives over the out
break" continued the governor. "They
are anxious it is true, but they watch
the lava flow daily and have expressed
the opinion that it will not reach the
sea. If it does not their plantations
viii be safe otherwise they will be de-
stroyed and this would be most unfor-
tunate for the natives have been indus
triously planting and a fine crop of
cocoanuts had been looked for. There
is nothing to do, of course, except to
hope for the best. So far there has
been no loss of life and indeed there is
no reason whatever to anticipate any
but property is certainly imperiled.
'"The volcano is constantly spouting
fire and the reflection from it can be
seen seventy miles out at sea-"

LIQUID WHICH IS DECLARED TO
NOTHING HARMFUL

Honolulu restaurants were unable to
supply their patrons with water to
drink today At the grill an order for
water with a lunch was met with the
statement from the walters water no
good, muddy" and if anyone still in
sisted on ordering a glass OF water he
was furnished a glass of liquid con-
tanning mud enough to made it the
color of weak tea. OF course no one
wanted to drink this, hence there was
run on tea, lemonade, beer and other
cold drinks i'm which the muddy water
was at least disguished
1T is "clean dirt" according to AS
sistant Superintendent of Public Works
Howland, but no one wants to drink
any kind of dirt, and numerous were
the kicks. Passengers on the through

The report of the volcanic outbreak
in Samoa was reaffirmed this morning
on the arrival of the S. S. Sonoma by

"Yes, we have a volcano in Samoa"

Manga Aft and is on the island of

Tin Soon the half Chinese convict
who escaped from Oahu Prison the

recaptured this morning by Assistant
Hack Inspector Smith. Tin Soon had
escaped from Oahu by slowing away on
the S. S. Ventura and getting as far
south of Pago Pago, where he was
turned over to the naval authorities
who sent him to Honolulu by the S. S.
Sonoma. The escape manged to es-
cape a third time and was at large

reservoirs which suppy the town. I'm
less an order is made prohibiting it,
they will be suicing again soon, and
the mud, which will soon settle down
now that operations have ceased for
the time being will be in evidence
again.
DR.. J. S. b. Pratt executive officer Of
the Board of Health and r. A. Duncan,
chemist, left this afternoon to make
some examinations of the water. They
will test it and find out if there is
anything injurious in it and if chemi-
cal analysis shows it to contain dan
gerous impurities, measures for pro-
lection will be promptly taken. If not
the suicing may be allowed some more

a long time but his outward demeanor
is indicative of the reverse.
He was sentenced on March to serve
five years for robbing hack driver.
Tin was a smart painter and was made
a trusty at the prison. On September
he secreted himself in the dark cell
and later in the night got a ladder and
scaled the wall and effected his escape.
He was seen about the city by several
people but evaded capture. He went
aboard the S. s. Ventura which was
then in port bound for the Colonies. Tin

Many Unmarried Woman Homestead

Washington, D. c., March 30.-The

the young women who drew claims
stood up to the contract better, on the
average, than the men. They almost
all filed on the lands they drew, and

PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST GERMS
People With Weak Stomachs Most Ii
able to Catch Disease.


When the stomach and digestive or
gans are weak, the food does not di-
gest and there is sour, Shiny, fer
menting mass, making it an ideal spot
for the disease germs to multiply. The
only way to protect yourself against
disease germs is to strengthen the
stomach and digestive organs and Mi
o-na Is the only agent, so far as is
known that will accomplish this.
The ordinary medicine that is taken
for indigestion and stomach troubles
is advertised to act upon the food
alone, and hence can give 40 more
than temporary relief. Mona Is a
certain cure in all cases Of stomach
troubles, excepting cancer, because it
enables the stomach and digestive or
gans to act in the way nature intended
they should. Drugs cannot digest the
food; they. simply decompose it.
If you suffer with distress after eat
ing, pains in the head, chest, sides and
back, belching of gases and undigested
food, bad taste in the mouth, dizziness
or vertigo, heartburn, variable appe-
tite, sick headaches, spots before the
eyes and have general feeling of
dependency, weakness and debility,
you should at once strengthen the
stomach and digestive system by the
use of Mona There is no liquid, no
alcohol,no spoonful doses with Mona.
Just one simple tablet out of fifty
cent box before eating and your stom-
ach will soon become so strong and
healthy that you will be germ proof.
Ask w. L. Sargent, to show you the
guarantee under which he sells Mo
ma; costs nothing unless it cures.
