Peruvian Flag Burned by
ChiIeanS and Consul
Resigns.
FEELING IS WARLIKE
Report That a Crowd in
CaIIaO Assaulted
ChiIe'S Consul.

IQUIQUE, May 90 - Following the
tense feeling between Chile and Perm,
which has prevailed in both countries
for months, mob gathered in this city
yesterday, and marching on the fine
building of the Peruvian Club, tore
down the Peruvian flag and burned it.
The greatest excitement continues in
this city, and the police are now guard
ing the clubhouse, although the mob has
dispersed. But the streets are filled
with excited groups.
Report of Attack.
The feeling is intensified by reports
that the Chilean consulate in Callao has
been attacked by Peruvian mob and
indignities offered to the representative
of this country.
The Peruvian consul here has re
signed, and the American consul, Hon
Rea Hanna of California, has taken
charge of affairs for Peru
Ringleaders at Liberty.
A report of the affair has been made
to President Pedro Montt, at Santiago
but no word has been received yet al
to what action shall be taken in regard
to dealing with the ringleaders, WHIT
have not been arrested.
1t is asserted here that if it is trut
that the Chilean consul at Callao ha
been assaulted, only the most careful
diplomacy will avert the war which tn,
people are elamoring for at this time.

.BECKLEY ESTATE. IS
LESS THAN Expected

Although the estate of Admiral
George G. Beckley was appraised, short
ly after his death, at over $4,000, a
report prepared by NJ I. Simonton, the
master appointed by Circuit Judge Rob-
insOn, filed Saturday, shows that the
net value is $S3,692. The difference is
accounted for by the fact that at the
time of the appraisement three notes
aggregating about 100000, were out
standing against the estate.
Mr.. Simonton' report indicates that
if the widow of Mr.. Beckley lives as
long as she may reasonably expect tc
do, her daughter, Juanita x. Beckley
will have to wait until she is forty
two years old before she can receive
the interest in the property left hei
by her father.
Mr.. Simonton's report deals with the
first and final account of Bruce Cart
wright, Henry p. Beckley and Mrs
Mary g. Beckley, the executors under
the will. The latter charge themselves
with $12,70O.5O in the form of receipts
and ask to be allowed $l3,093.59 fol
disbursements.
The appraised value of the estate il

making the net value of the estate $S3,

Under the terms of the will MTs
Beekley is given life interest in al
the property. The valHe Of this, afte

The remainder of the estate is there

One-third in fee to Henry p. Beekley

IN TEST CASE.

Every physician in Honolulu, inelud.
ing those attached 70 the army and
navy, face subpoenas TO be issued by
the defense in the case brought by Bert
Lightfoot to test the authority Of the
board Of health in prohibiting swim.
ming in the harbor.
The subpoonas have not yet been Is.
sued, but Attorney ]. Lighttoot, father
Of the defendant, who is conducting his
case, has announced his intention OF so
doing and it is believed that they have
been drawn up in anticipation of their
need.
Bert Lightfoot stated last night that
this Wholesale summoning Of HonOlu-
LUIS medical fraternity will depend on
the testimony to be given by Federal
BacteriOlogist Moses T. Clegg, who win
be called 10 the stand by the defense,
if not by the prosecution.
The latter is not yet through with
its case, as President Mott-Smith Of.
the board of health will continue his
| testimony today and will be succeeded
by DIR. Donald H. Currie of the federal
medical service. 1t is hardly probable
that the prosecution will complete it's
case today until late this afternoon, is
even then, and Doctor Currie, at least,
has made arrangements to postpone
the tour of the sanitation commission
this afternoon a half hour later in an.
ticipation Of being detained in court.
While the Lightfoots did not state
what evidence they expected from Mr.,
I Clegg, it is presumed that the other
phys clans win be summoned in an at

Clegg states that he believes, as does
Mott-Smith and Currie, that swimming
in the harbor is dangerous to health.

SACRILEGE AND
THEFT IN PUMA
BURGLAR TAKES COMMUNION Sill
YER AND vEsTMENTs OF
CATHOLIC CHURCH.

An exceedingly peculiar and repre-
hensiblc robbery took place at Kapoho,
Puma, short time ago, when burglar
secured the altar silver and vostmcnts
belonging to the Catholic Church at
that place, says the Hilo Tribune.
Father Otto, who had charge Of the
church in Puma, last week reported the
matter to Sheriff Pua, and the police
arc doing their best to solve the mys-
terry.
The Catholic congregation at Kapoho
does not possess regular church build
ing, but Father Otto has been given
the use Of the house formerly occupied
by Chas. Weatherbee, and here services
were held with small portable altar.
The articles used during the service
were when not in use, placed in a
medium sized box, which was placed in
closet, the upper part of which was
| furnished with shelves. On the shelves
were stored books and sacred pictures,
none of which were of any great in
| trinsic value, but some of the articles
in the box, which stood on the floor of
the closet, were of considerable value,
as they included the silverware used for
the communion service, candlesticks,
the altar-stole containing relics,
chasubles, robes, stoles and SUPPLIES
many of the vestments being entirely
new and of fine fabric which might
prove temptation to those having q
fondness for such.
The door to the closet was locked
and the intruder had gained entrance
by smashing in one of the lower panels
thereof with an iron bar which he had
brought along for the purpose, and
which he left behind Through the hole
which he had thus fashioned the burg
lar pulled the box. 1t is evident that
he did not enter the closet, as the nails
sticking out at the edges of the hol'
would have prevented him from doing
so, nor did he take any of the articles
lying on the shelves, The box and it
contents were, however, taken ava.
bodily, and no trace was to be founC
of them.
Father Otto states that he last hell
service at Kapoho on Sunday, April 20
and. as he has large district to cover
he did not revisit Kapoho until las
Wednesday, when he discovered the los
of the church valuables.

SANITARY COMMISSION MAY IN
vITE TOWN TO TOUR
WITH IT.

If the sanitary commission which
has been holding the center Of the
municipal stage during the week and
which will probably continue to do so
this week, completes its tours within
the next few days, it is probable that
Honolulu will be treated to an auto
procession shortly, when the business
men of the city will be invited to go
over some of the same ground as the
commission has done.
No day has yet been set and the
commission has not formerly met on
the the matter, but is considering it.
1t is its desire to have the cooperation
of the Influential citizens in its work
in so far as to realize the Importance
of it and to appropriate what the real
conditions of the "back-lot" portion
of the city is.
Chairman Carter believes that inter,
est has been widely aroused in the
matter and that those people who
would be the most benefited by munich
pal cleanliness are waking up to the
necessity of becoming personally in
terested in it.
1t is for this purpose, that of giving
all those who so desire an opportunity
to post themselves and be able to dis
cuss the matter intelligently, that the
commission is thinking of acting al
guide to as many parties as wish on {
set day, and from other quarters will
probably come the request that a
