Following is an extra by the Hilo
newspaper, the Herald:
A BIG ERUPTION.
4 great outbreak on Mauna Loa oc@
Cured lastNnight. The red glare which
told Of the eruption was seen at about
Midnight, and all over the town people
were aroused to look at the fire.
AS seen shortly after midnight from
Hilo, the display was a huge red coll
umn of smoke, with the clouds above
lit up by the glare so that the light
must have been visible for many miles.
Evidently tremendous flow of lava
had started from some point on the
sides of the big mountain. Efforts were
made to communicate with the Volcano
House and with Pahala without sue
cess. Kau reported weather so cloudy
that nothing could be seen.
The eruption is far above Kilauea,
and is thought by some TO be Mokua-
weoweo. As seen from some points,
however. it appears to be over the rim
of the mountain, in which case the
lava is probably flowing down the
other side
Those who observed the big outbreak
OF 1899 say that the glare last night
was greater. Some of the oldtimers
who stood and watched from Wailuku
bridge at midnight declared that the
fire was the biggest they had ever seem

his views are largely from a business
and financial standpoint
why, it is simply ridiculous and abb
surd TO talk about a war between the
United States and Japan declared Mr..
Francis when seen at the Hotel Port
land yesterday afternoon. II had heard
practically nothing of this war talk
until I arrived in this country three
weeks ago. l am greatly surprised at
t. all because the rumors you hear are
SO far from the truth.
IN the first place, Japan will not be
in a financial condition TO wage war
with any country inside Of 10 Of Is
years. There is no doubt about that
point. In the second place, Japan has
all she can take care Of with Manchu-
ria and she does not want the Philip
pines or the Hawaiian Islands. In the
third place, the powers in Japan re-
gard the United States in an altogether
friendly spirit and are In no way look
ing for trouble. 1t Is all tourist talk.
EXPANSION TAKES TIME.
Japan will develop into great ma
ton and will eventually control China
But it win take time and plenty of
it. While the Japanese are a wonder
ful people they can not accomplish the
impossible, and il viii be years before
they viii be in a position to throw
down the gauntlet to the United
States or any other nation.
Japan is a poor country and now its
people are nearly taxed TO death to pay
r. rx7fiIinrz If doll
lars they borrowed to carry on war
with Russia. They are weighted down
with a. tremendous debt which they
must throw off before they dare to en-
ter into another war. Financially it
will be many years before they will be
in condition to undertake another war,
and money is what counts
The japanese are a people OF fore
sight and they will not attempt more
than they can safely handle They
have Manchuria on their hands, and
AT this time what more could they
desire? It is one Of the richest coun-
tries in the world and they will profit
by their virtual possession of 1t. They
do not want the Philippines now. That
is a very evident fact TO all who know
the true condition Of affairs In the
Orient today. Japan is in the position
Of a horse which has all it can possi- |

den would only hinder their progress, |
and the japanese have enough sense to |
realize this.

TWO NEGRO WOMEN LYNCHED
In Arkansas for Using a Razor on
White Woman.

Stamps, Ark.-Two colOred women
were shot to death by mob last night
at McKamie, village six miles south
of here. The town has no Jail, and the
women had been locked up in the
schoolhouse and a guard put in charge
of the building. They were charged
with using a razor with probably fatal
effect on Mrs. Ella Rheton, white
woman, and her daughter, and kicking
Mrs. kheton's little son. 1t seems that
the Rhetons met the cOlored women on
a public road, and, according to Mrs.
Rheton, the negresses showed her out
of the road and kicked the little boy.
Mrs. Rheton told them tc quit kicking
the child, and they then attacked her
and her daughter, Beulah, with razors.
Mrs. Rheton claims she had never met
the colored women before. and that
they had no cause to attack her and
children. The men guarding the pris-
oners in the schoolhouse made very lit
tie resistance to the lynchers, who soon
Overpowered them and then shot the
women 20 death.
