house. The lamp was one of the kind
made to set in hanging frame, and
it had tipped over so that the Chin

"Rev. Stephen L. Desha and some
others tried to create the belief among
the natives that the happening of the
earthquake while I was speaking was
bad omen; that it signifed the dis
approval of Pele. But the natives do
not look at it that way. So far as
they are influenced by that sort of
thing at all, they say it is quite the
contrary; that when the old aliis want
ed to command attention and called on
the people to wake up they stamped
their feet and the earth trembled, or
they invoked the gods, who made the
earth tremble. And it was just as I
was calling on the Hawaiians to wake
up!' that the earthquake came.
"There were several slight earth
quakes that same night and the next
day. The next morning while I was
waiting for some of the others, I was
leaning against stone wall. While I
was in this attitude an earthquake
occurred which shook my feet back
and forth, sideways as I stood.
"Stone walls were thrown down in
all that part of Puma. Water tanks
were overturned, and in way. a good
deal of damage was done.

well attended and was very success

Link MeCandless' own version of the
earthquake incident of his campaign in

other that has been put in circula-

truthful.
''We were holding a meeting in Ka-

about hundred people there, about as

told them all to go home, for they did
not know what condition their own

fact, three houses were overturned,

crowd that we would continue the
meeting in the morning.

Honolulu, October 9, 1908.


Editor Advertiser: Please insert the
following item in your paper:
The public is warned not to give
money to Kim Chong, a young China
man. lame in one leg, who is begging
on the streets of Honolulu. The man
ager of the Associated Charities, some
time in August, at Kim S request, wrote
line for him to present to Chinese
business man, carelessly emitting the
gentleman s name. This note now looks
like an appeal to the general public,
which was by no means intended, and
it is feared that Kim is making such
use of it. The Chinese Society and the
Strangers Friend Society have offered
to pay his passage to China, that he
may go to his people, but he apparently
prefers begging, and should not be en-
eouraged.

NEEDS OF THE ARMY
Major General Bell Submits His
Annual Report.

Washington, Dec. 25. - The most
urgent need of the army of the
United States is an adequate remedy
for the evils resulting from detached
service of officers, says Major General
]. Franklin Bell, chief of staff, in the
annual report. He also says that the
time has arrived when the United
States can no longer afford to main
tain an inadequate army for peace
needs, nor an army with an anti
quated organization" According to
General Bell, the number of officers
on detached service is 691. The re-
suit is characterized as very disas-
trous and among other things is given
as the first cause for the large num-
Der of assertions among enlisted men.
General Bell says it is a discourag-
ing fact that in case of a sudden out
break of hostilities with a rskclass
nation, there are not sufficient regu-
lar troops in the country, even when
reinforced by the National guard of
the various states to form an army.
