In Ruins of Messina.-- Former Senator CONFESS
Dies---Greetings From Guam
Condensed Notes.

MESSINA, January 11.-Search for
the earthquake victims of Italy's last
great earthquake still continues and is
frequently rewarded with the rescue
of the living. Yesterday noon a man
named Bensaia, who had spent fourteen
days without food, locked in the ruins
and resuscitated He had been caught
in a kind of strait jacket formed by
the debris and unable to move, was
compelled to watch the lingering death
of his wife and four children. Satur-
day married couple were removed,
not only alive but conscious. Their i'm
prisonment had lasted thirteen days.
On Saturday night a terrific tempest
accompanied by earthquake shocks
arose at Messina, causing number of
fresh collapses in the ruined city and
spreading new terror among the sur
vivors. Most of the people in Messina
were camped under tents or huts, and
nearly all of these were destroyed by
the wind and binding rain. over sixty
feet of the landing quays in the harbor
was swept away, carrying off a large
quantity of provisions stored there, and
several horses. Two soldiers narrowly
escaped death. Near Clare, an i'm
mense assure opened. 1t was $50 feet
long, three feet wide and 65 feet deep,
and has been styled the "Mouth of
HELL"
The American Consulate, where the
stores from the relief ship Bayern are
being distributed, was besieged all day
yesterday by a crowd of hungry refu-
gees. The American committee, which
has been working strenuously, is re-
ceiving expressions of gratitude from
all quarters. General Mazza, who is in
supreme command here, also has thank,
ed ambassador Griscom warmly for the
shumane initiative of his countPymen
suggesting that as the great rAxeSrt
from Messina has left the city !. of t
cally without any injured, the nbila

was along the coast towns, espef y

proceeded to those ports. The sup
ship Yankton will remain here to con
vey to Naples the bodies of American
Consul Cheney and his wife when they
are recovered.
The disinfecting of the city is pro
crossing rapidly Disinfectants will
also be transported along the Stellar
and Calabrian coasts for distribution il
the inland villages. The illumination
of the city by electric light has beer
| partly re-established.
| The American fleet, which arrived
here Saturday morning and left Satur
day night created a great impression
| Expressions of gratitude and admira
ton are still heard on all sides. Ad

was to send launch with a buria

Claus Spreckels' Will,

Chronicle, January 10-The will of
tho late Claus Spreckels was admitted
to probate yesterday by Superior
Judge j. V. Coffey, and Rudolph and
Claus Augustus Spreckels were aps
pointed executors, to serve without
bonds. These were the only members
of the family in court, and the pro-
ceilings were brief and formal.
Both sons took the stand and testi-
fed that the estate is worth approx
mately $4,000, 900. Richard T. Thomp-
son, clerk in the Brooklyn law of
fee where the will was drawn and one
of the subscribing witnesses, also tes-
titled.
Rudolph Spreckels was absolved
from his bonds as special administra-
tor, and the proceedings closed with
a request from Attorney C. S. Wheeler
for Judge Coffey's rules as to the in
ventory and appraisement of estates.
By the terms of the will the income
from the entire estate is to be paid to
the widow, Anna Christina Spreckels,
during her lifetime. Then it is to be
divided into three equal parts, one
each going to the daughter, Emma G.
Ferris, now residing in England, ana
the sons, Rudolph and Claus Augustus.
John D. SpreckeIs and Adolph B.
Spreckels, the other two sons, receive
nothing, the testator stating that he

TO DISMISS
$4,000 SUIT

The suit for $4,000 damages of F.
NJ. Brooks against Judge Wiley
formerly judge of the Federal District
court in Shanghai and Clersi Hinckley,
of the same court, alleging conspiracy
to ruin and defamation of character,
is likely to be dismissed within the
next few days. This action comes as
the result of the admission of f. M.
Brooks to practice in the court mem
toned, granted recently by Judge
Thayer the new appointee. Wilhey
denied Brooks the right to practice,
but upon passing the proper eXamina-
ton he has now been admitted.
The news is very pleasing to the
friends of Mr. Brooks in this city and
comes as a comDlete victory for him
over the faction which was opposed to
his admission to practice. 1t means
that the air has been fully cleared in

Company, which has been bought by
Eben Low and Seattle financier, who
will start opposition to the Inter-Isl-
and Steam Navigation Company on
the runs to Maui and Molokai Capt
Miller states that lie sold out on ac-
count of the fact that he is not an
Xious to butt his head up against the
Inter-Island or any other stone wall
1t is understood that the James Ma
kee and couple of sailing schooners
will be started on the new run in the
near future. Negotiations are under
way for the purchase of fine steam
schooner which is now located at Sc
attic, but. which will be brought here

At midnight last night flames were
discovered in field No 20 on Eva plan
tation and persons living near hastened
to put them out.
The promptness of some of the en-
ployes of Eva plantation, and others
near the field where the fire started,
prevented what might have been fire
which would have done immense dam
age to standing cane.
SECOND FIRE AT . A. M.
about 2 O'Clock this morning another
fire was discovered, this time in what
is known as field No. II, and again
those in the neighborhood who saw the
flames, rushed to beat them out. Some
thing over an acre of cane was burned
by the two fires.
WHO STARTED FLAMES?
Whether these fires were accidental
or were the work of strikers remains
to be shown At present the planta-
tion people have absolutely no facts to
go on to settle the question: other than
night and the other two hours later, in
different fields; cause unknown.
The area burned does not amount to
much, but what might have been the
case, had not persons living by taken
a hand in preventing the spread of the
flames is not difficult to imagine. Cir
cumstantial evidence, which proves
nothing, is that the Japanese labOrers
of Eva plantation are on a tentative
strike for higher wages and that both
fires occurred in fields which are plan
tation fields and not fields cultivated
by contractors, and none of the strik-
ers are interested financially in the
fields wherein the fire occurred.
ORIGINAL PLAN PREVAILS.
The situation on Eva is the same as
yesterday as far as indications go. 1t
would appear that the strikers will
carry out their original plan, announc.
ed yesterday moring, of formulating
demands and presenting them to the
management on Monday, when the
strikers will return to work pending g
reply to their demands from the man
agement

| IOF TAXES
BIG RUSH OF TAXPAYERS AND
LARGE RECEIPTS UP TO LAST
NIGHT.

The last day for paying the semi
annual instalment of taxes produces a
lively scene at the tax ce. There
were long lines of taxpayers not on1y
at the wickets in the main corridor,
where Americans, Europeans and Por-
tuguese are waited on, but inside of
the offices of the assessor and deputies
where the Japanese are paying and on
the back veranda where the Chinese
are passing their tribute through II
window. From Assessor Chas. T.
Wilder to the last assistant on the
staff, everyone is buster than a bee.
They will be hard at it, too, until a
late hour this evening.
From the first of the month until the
wickets closed last night there was re-
ceived for the first taxation division,
Island of Oahu, the sum of $2SS, ,459 Ga.
This compares favorably with the re-
ceipts for the same time last year, and
Assessor Wilder anticipates sub;
stantial increase of revenue when the
penalty gong sounds.

Eben Low could not be located to-
day so that no statement in regard to
what plans have been decided on could
be obtained from him. Captain Mil
Ter stated that he had sold out his
controlling interest in The company
but still held a small block of stock.
He has, however, retired as an Off
Ger of the corporation. From what
he said it was easy to understand
that he is not in favor of making a
fight against the Inter-Island Com
pany.
The new plan may result in a rate
war in which the Inter-Island may cut
prices so low that it will force it's
competitors to retire from the field,
but no such intimation has yet been
given out 1t has been reported that
the Inter-Island Company is prepar-
ing a new schedule of rates on GER
tain commodities, but this is said to
have been commenced long before

MILITIA
PRAISED

Extracts from the report of Major
S. w. Dunning, U. S. A., concerning
the National Guard of Hawaii, show
the militia to be in the shape requir-
ed, but the Honolulu armory to be a
disgrace.
According to the findings of the
Federal army inspector, the local ar
mory facilities are very deficient. 1t
is characterized as an old shed which
does not even afford protection from
the weather and which could easily
be robbed of arms, ammunition, equpi-
ment or anything else kept there.
