1t appears quite probable the men
could not have been saved, the fall
ure of the crew to make repeated at

regarded as objectionable"

arrival at San Francisco. which repre-
sented Honolulu slipping into the sea
and burning the whiIe-as some YER
sions had it's the following pretended
cablegram from Honolulu. 1t is the
acme of devilish ingenuity in the
categorical manner wherewith it de-
scribes an earthquake on April 10 in
Honolulu, where in fact there was not
the scintilla of a tremor, duplicating
the San Francisco disaster of the pre-
vious day with only the succeeding
fire omitted but the omission made up
for by the invention of a great tidal

HONOLULU, April 20.-For six min
utes yesterday repetition of the San

volve the capital of the Hawaiian is
lands in destruction, was feared. Vibra-
lions. evidently the result of seismic
disorders, were felt quite plainly
throughout the city.
While earthquakes are by no means
lnfrequent in the islands, that of yes
terday was much severer than any
which has occurred in recent years. 1t
caused the buildings along Fort street
and the other thoroughfares in the
business district to sway to and fro.
and in the residence districts some of
the less strongly constructed dwellings
were partly demolished as the result of
the vibrations. The disturbances
by the vibrations caused the
water in the harbor to rise rapidly and
Tear was felt that tidal wave might
sweep over the city. However, inside
Of six minutes the vibrations ceased
and no further ones We're noted during
the day.
The vibrations had the effect of
almost panic among the in
habitants. who had learned of the
catastrophe which had destroyed San
francisco. Crowds rushed into the
streets when the vibrations were first
felt and endeavored to make their way

possible, preferring to take their
chances in the sugar plantations in the
open rather than to endure the danger !
