Times is published, was destroyed by
an explosion, fifty lives being instantly

The cause Of the explosion, which oc
Cured on the second floor, is unknown.
The building was Immediately
wrapped in fire, and spectators, unable
to render aid, saw men rushing to the
windows and then falling back into the
flames, the floors cracking and opening
into fiery chasms under the great heat.
So far as known, the death roll Will
muster fifty. The entire night me-
chanical force was on duty getting out
the great paper and many of the edi-
torial staff, the disaster taking place
between one and two clock this
morning.
The presses in the basement were
already working on the Sunday paper,
but the pressmen all escaped, being the
furthest removed from the scene of the
explosion.
The Times building, situated on the
corner of First street and Broadway,
was in three stories, the first of which
contained the business offices, the sec
ond the mechanical department of the
paper and the third the editorial Offices

SUN PREDICTED
BOXER TROUBLE
Announced That 1t Was Coming
Others in Honolulu Had
Advance Warnings.

The threatened recurrence of the
Boxer troubles in China has been fore
shadowed in The Advertiser in a series
of interviews with those cGnversant
with the situation in the Flowery King
dom. Dr.. Sun Yet, the famous revoIu-
tlonary leader, in very frank talk
with The Advertiser some few weeks
ago, stated that ne had every reason
to believe that the Boxer trouble, on
a much larger scale than before, would
rccommence.
When the cabled news of the rice
riots i'll Chang Sha, where some mis-
sionaries Were killed, reached Homo,
lulu, Doctor Sun, who was then passing
as a japanese under the name of kono,
slipped quietly away on the Mongolia
for the Orient. Even his fellow coun-
trymen in this city did not suspect
that he mad left the Territory, but were
under the impression that he was on
Maui. When he heard of the Chinese
uprising he started down to the water
front with few friends who saw him
safely ensconced on the Claudine bound
for Maui. \ little further down the
harbor the Mongolia was locked and
his friends backs had hardly been
turned before he was safely on board
the big liner prepared to go to the
seat of revolutionary activities in the
celestial kingdom.
Some time previous to his departure,
Doctor sun iutimated that the attacks
upon foreigners III China, as instanced
in the taang Sha riots, were supported
by the Chinese government. He ex,
pected another Boxer uprising of far
greater proportions than the one in
1900. and this one, he predicted. would

ed hat the government was rapidly I'M
folding its vast military plan, and that
when it became powerful and the rulers
believed they could depend upon the
great armed force. that the time for
another Boxer uprising would be ripe,
But the Chang Sha riot. so Doctor
Sun ayrred, was premature, and was a
riot which, although part of the fu-
ture plan Of the dynasty. was in reality

HAWAII KNOCKED
IN OTHER LANDS
Prominent Portuguese Cable
Denial of False Reports
to Madeira.

Msreprese Of the immi era ton
question is not confined to the shores of
Hawaii, bat has been sent by those who
hope to grow fat to the extent they de-
celve others to every place where it can
hurt the Islands. In Funchal, the capI-
tai of Madeira: in Hardin, Siberia; in
every place where Hawaii has gore for
immigrants, Hawaii S wolves. disguised
under the sheepskins of friendliness,
have consistently propagated misn-
formation.
SO strong has this campaign grown
IN Madeira that it is reported that Ha-
waii 5 immi grafton commissioners there.
\. J. Campbell and NJ. L. Silva, have
experienced the greatest difficulty in re-
cruIting immigrants. In the Funchal
papers Hawaii has been pictured as
worse than the place which has been
proverbially quoted as the worst.
| nanswer to this consistent knocking
of probably small hui of the everlast-
ingly disgruntled, the most prominent
American Portuguese in the city yester
day cabled back to the Funchal papers
the entire truth of Portuguese affairs
in Hawaii, and it is hoped that this
cable viii lay the extremely substantial
ghost Of misrepresentation. The cable
reads as follows:
Portuguese in Hawaii deprecate the
publication of false rumors of distress
in Hawaii in Funchal papers Condi-
tons here are regarded superior to those
of any other country. Further Portu-
guese immigration can find abundant
opportunities for employment IN agri-
culture and trades. All false rumors
concerning conditions in Hawaii ema-
nate from irresponsible agitators.'
The first signature on the cable Is
that of A. d. Castro, a member of the
legislature; the second is that of J. /.
Silva of Eleele, former representative.
and bears besides those of ten or more
others
Castro believes that the knocking IS
the direct work of Link McCandless,
Democratic candidate for delegate to
congress, and it remains to be seen
whether the actual testimony of Ha-
waiian Portuguese can counteract his
pockethook If If is he who IS response
lie for the knocking.

GETTING READY
FOR PORTUGUESE
Punchb0m Lots Will Be Laid
Out and Road and Park
Set Aside.

The government is going ahead as
fast as possible, consequent on the offer
of the KapioIani Estate, to lay out the
Punchbowl lots for the Portuguese.
Governor Frear states that many of the
lots are now of odd shapes, and that it
viii be necessary to have them surveyed
and Strengthened out.
In addition to this, the Governor says,
several new streets viii have to be laid
out, and the government IS also anxious
TO provide for a park or playground
in the Punchbowl district
The occupants Will also have to prove
up their claims before any preferential
right can he given them. The whole
proposition presents an intricate prob
lem. which it will take some time to
solve But the offer of the KapiOlani
Estate to do all it can to facilitate the
work of turning the homes over to the
Portuguese will be of great value to
the administration. The surveyors may
now go upon the land TO lay out the
lots, and even if Link McCandless
should be successful in his congressional
aspirations. which is extremely improb-
able, he viii probably find himself in
Washington too late to succeed in his
desire to deprive the Punchbowl Portu-
guese of their homes. They will get
them in spite of him.
