SOUTH SEAS
SWEPT BY
HURRICANE
Fearful ..2avoc Wrought
in Tahiti and the
Taurnotus.

Tahiti and all the islands of the So
ciety group were swept by tremen-
dious tidal wave on the night Of Febru-
-ary 7th, and the tidal wave was fol
lowed by one of the most disastrous
hurricanes ever known in the South
Seas.
More than one hundred islands were
devastated, the principal island, Ia
hiti, probably suffering less in proper
tion to it's Importance than any of the
others, and about $4,000 persons were
affected by the great disaster.
There has been no such other trag-
edy in the South Seas during modern
times, and it is improbable that the
historic devastation, similar in nature,
of about 125 years ago was of such
serious consequence.
The water front of Papeete suffered
terribly, being almost totally destroyed
and houses swept two or three hundred
yards uptown. The postotfice and the
harbor masters residence were entire
1y destroyed. The streets are obstruct-
ed by broken houses, furniture, lumber
and beddings. What was once thriv-
ing town is now a barren waste.
If during the day of February 8th
southeast gale had sprung up there
would not have remained one stone
upon another in the whole town.
In the harbor Of Papeete lies an
island called Motu-U -Uta. It is used as
powder deposit By the French govern
ment. and also as a quarantine station,
one man alone living there, acting as a
guardian of the powder. When the sea
80 al 01r& and
washing the houses and everything else
from the island, this man thought to
save his life. but when he went to get
the boat he found it had been washed
away. With 2 lantern he made distress
signals to the shore, which were duly
noted by the people there. The French
gunboat Zelee did not send boat to
him, but the pilot of Papeete had to go
and beg 2 boat of the commander of
the gunboat. The pilot manned it and
tried heroicallv three times to get to
the poor mans assistance, but the task
was already hopeless and the island
guardian was doomed.
Captain Lawless of the Oceanic
steamer Mariposa, which reached San
Francisco from Tahiti on March Sd,
said:
Sat Papeete the waves wrecked the
houses along the beach and for two
hundred yards back. The merchants
suffered great loss, but the natives,
who mostly live near the water front,
lost all they had. Their all is very lit
tie at any time, but it is great deal
to them. Clothes of light material,
prints and calicoes and money to buy
nails, hinges and lumber would be
help. Food, too. suppose. would be in
order. However, people who know
their condition will say that the suffer
ing viii be greater IN a MONTH or two,
as nearly all the food trees are blown
down. = After leaving Tahiti
we kept a sharp lookout for derelicts.
- At daylight we sighted
schooner, which we shaped our course
for. When she came up we found a.
crew of excited men, who told us in
vehement language that the islands
were all swept away. They came from
some island east of Ranjerva, probably
Takarava, and were bound to Tikahau
for provisions.

REACHES PORT
OUT OF FOOD

Having just eaten their last piece
of meat and subsisting in luxury on a
whole sack of -four borrowed on Mon
day from the schooner Rosamond
when both vessels were close together
off the islands, the captain and crew
of the schooner William F. Garms,
posted in San Francisco as an overdue
and reinsured heavily, were glad to ar
rive off port yesterday afternoon and
anchor after long and tedious voy-
age from Newcastle to Honolulu. The
trip occupied one hundred and thirteen
days, within twenty days of the time
generally taken by boats to come from
New York via the Horn.
The Garms left Newcastle November
21 for Eleele, Kauai, with a cargo of
coal consigned to w. G. Irwin & Co.
Nothing had been heard of her until
she came within sight of Diamond
Head Charley's telescope yesterday
She occasioned considerable anxiety IN
shipping circles. She simply had bad
weather all the way. The schooner is
owned by Sanders & Kirschman of San
Francisco. She is wooden vessel of
1904 tons register, and was built at
Everett in 1901. She has hitherto
made smart passages. She was quoted
for reinsurance at 30 per cent. on
March 4.
The schooner Rosamond, well-known
in Honolulu, also arrived from New
castle, bound for Eleele, eighty-fve
days out. Both vessels have to enter
here before going to Kauai
The whaling bark John F. Winthrop
also came off port at sunset to obtain
provisions. The vessel is out forty-one
days from San Francisco in pursuit OF
whales. The bark passed down the
Californian and Mexican coasts in
search of blowers. She visited an unin-
habited island and took on some bal
last and then proceeded to Honolulu,
no whales on the trip. She is
after the whalebone, not oil, as the
bone is more valuable. the present rate
being about $5 a pound.

their business was much better this
year than last. Tourists spent money
literally in all classes of stores,
whether Asiatic or Occidental, and
even the Oregon gilrs achieved a repu-

FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The financial status of the Promotion
Committee was discussed in detail 1t
was indicated that the Promotion Com
mittee believed that the Shipper s
Wharf Tax should be given over en-
tirely to the promotion work, as the
Promotion Committee was the child of
the Chamber of Commerce and Mer-
chants Association. At present $1,000
a month was turned over to the com
mittee from this fund. The end of the
year. however, finds the committee cup
against it, with deficit.
A meeting of the trustees of the
Chamber of Commerce is to be held tins
afternoon and the members of the Pro-
motion Committee viii attend to place
the matter before that body. The Pro-
motion Committee was making every
dollar go as far as possible, but to
promote interest in the islands necessi-
tated expenditures.
NO MONEY TO GIVE.
Owing to numerous demands made
upon the committee by various organi-
cations for financial assistance the com
mittee has decided to announce that it
has no power to give money, that being
outside its province. Whenever an or

the zone. They will probably crowd the
Panama women out OF the laundry work
and will monopolize every little trade
which pays good money. AS IL Is now,
the Chinese practically control the retail
business of Panama, and they are to a
large extent the gardeners and chicken
raisers of our isthmian possessions. They
are intermarrying with. the lower classes
of the Panamans and a hybrid race Will
be the result.
This Is the condition all over the world
where the Chinese have gone. There ara
about 10000 Of them in the Philippine
islands and they have largely intermar-
ried with the Fflipinos. They are thrifty
and most of them have accumulated
money.
In Hawaii many OF the Chinese have
married natives and one Of the richest Of
the Chinese foreigners lives in Honolulu.
Hong Kong is practically made up OF Chi
nese. and the trade Of Singapore is con-
trolled by them. There are about 1900, 900
Chinese subjects in Slam. and they have
monopolized the retail business OF that
country. There are 10000 of them In the
Dutch East Indies, and the Dutch have
found them such live factor that they
have made special laws TO prevent them
depressing the natives.
We had In 1900 about 100 900 Chinese in the
United States. and the number Is now said
TO he less than 5000. There are 5000 In
Peru and a large number in Chile. They
are scattered throughout the West Indies
and large numbers OF them are doing bus-
ness in Borneo and in the other islands OF
the Pacific. There are many in Siberia and
also in Corea and Japan. Indeed. John
chinaman is TO be found everywhere, and
everywhere he is doing we'll.
