and Volcano Hotel properties, whose
plan includes the establishment of a
line of passenger and freight steamers

proposed plans.
An extension of ten days was asked
by the syndicate and this was granted.
The extension time is about up. How
ever, the representatives of the syndi-
cate will personally look over the prop
critics and it is possible they may con-
tinue their trip to Hilo and the crater
today.
The syndicate, according to stories
which reached The Advertiser when the
story was first made public, is prepared
to spend hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, or any amount that viii bring the

SH|NGLE WINS IN
RACE FOR REALTY
Returns With Option on All
SpreckeIs Property Here
Half Million Deal.
(From wednesday s Advertiser.l


With rope around every square
foot of Claus Spreckels property in
Honolulu Robert w. Shingle, president
of the Henry Waterhouse Trust Com,
pany, returned from San Francisco yes
terday morning on the Wilhelmina.
Safe in his inside coat pocket was a
written option given him by the repre-
sentatives of the estate, for the pur-
chase of all the Spreckels property.
The option mentions 100000 as the
purchase price.
Thus commences one of the largest
realty deals recorded in the city in
several years. It was somewhat as
victor that Shingle returned; for
leaving on the same day with him and
supposedly on the same errand were
representatives of all the other big
realty firms in the city, who were dis.
appointed in measure equal to the ella
tion of the head of the Waterhouse
Trust.
The property involved is consider
able. One of the most valuable pieces
lies along Merchant street on both
sides of Alakea. Part of this is being
sought as a site for the united COM
mercial building planned by the mer-
chants association and the chamber
! of commerce.
The Homestead property in Punahou
is also covered by the option and in
cluded in the purchase price metioned
as well as fourteen acres in lot OPP
posite Oahu College. The "Old Bum
| blebee Mansion as the Claus Spreck.
els homestead on Punahou street is now
known, has attached to it curious
history such as falls to the lot of few
houses.
! Colonel Spreckels left it many years
ago, with the breakfast dishes disar
rayed and the house in the usual dis
order of the morning. He was piquet
and he showed it by going directl,
from his ham and eggs to a San Fran
cisco steamer, ordered the house shu
up, and sailed away. He never cam
back. 1t is popularly believed that tn
condition of the house has never bee
: altered since the morning so man
years ago that the Colonel Claus go
. mad.
The details of the option and tn
deal that is expected to follow ma
5 be announced by Mr. Shingle with
the next few days. 1t means that tn
, last of the Spreckels' direct ties wit
the city of Honolulu will be cut br
what may follow will not be know
o until the final papers are signed.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS
ARE MARKING time
By Ernest G. Walker.

OpCCidl w 4 hC j.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 27.-As
far as Hawaiian affairs here are con
cerned it is largely matter of mark
ing time. Consideration of the army
and navy appropriation bills in senate
and house involve a few items of some
interest to the Islands but final settle
ment will be deferred for little time.
For instance, there is the effort to es-
tablish round the world system of
naval wireless stations, which would be
of Importance in Hawaii but which now
seems doomed to defeat in this session
of congress.
There is some interest in the coming
of Governor Frear, who was in Chicago
yesterday. 1t is understood here that
the Governor will first proceed to New
York and then to Boston, before com
ing down to Washington.
Col. Sam Parker and National Com
mitteeman H. l.. Holstein have gone tC
New York and from there are going tt
Niagara Falls so that Mr.. Holstein car
have an opportunity to see that won
derful bit of scenery.
L. NJ. Watson s family have started
for California. He will tarry here fo
while yet, probably till after th'
Democratic convention has assembled
and adjourned at Baltimore.

Details OF the
Eruption Come
to Light.
SuIphuric Acid Mud
Burns Flesh From
Bones.

SEATTLE, Washington, June r.
Frightful details of the effects Of the
eruption of the volcano in the Aleutlan
range have reached here. According to
these dispatches the Kodiak Islanders
are believed to be safe, although the,
destruction from the outbreak on the
Aleutian Peninsula is reported to have
been widespread. Two hundred inhabi-
tants of villages are believed to have
perished in the eruption.
In all, says the advices, seven vii
lagos on the peninsula were completely
buried under the rain of falling ashes
and mud mixed with sulphuric acid
which has killed vegetation for scores
of miles. There were many strange
freaks of the ashes and mud rain. In
places it fell in a perfect deluge. At
others not far removed it hardly touch
ed and still Others completely surround
ed, have escaped untouched.
One of the most horrible features OF
the eruption was the fact that much of
the mud, charged with acid, burned
frightfully whenever it feiI upon ex-
posed flesh, the acid slowly eating into
the body, and in many cases totally de-
stroying the remains of the volcanoes
victims.
Dispatches from Juneau announced
last night that the governor of the ter
ritory has appealed to the United
States government for assistance. He
requests congress to appropriate one
hundred Thousand dollars for relief, de-
claring that conditions in Kodiak are
terrible. In some places, he adds, the
fall of ashes amounts to more than
twenty feet and the whole section OF
the territory Is covered to an average
depth of twelve inches.

races stirred up as much enthusiasm
and drew as big holiday crowd as n

Kamehameha was honored in true Ha-
waiian style. The old Portuguese
statue worshiper who performs his

day. He probably got glimpse of his
old friend the king in his giddy, gaudy
holiday rags at long range and thought
him lacking in the dignity which
should hedge real worshipful deity.
Draping the Monarch.
The work of clothing the deep chest
ed monarch in flowers was done yester-
day morning by the Order of Kane
hameha. Fifty members of the lodge
marched from the Odd Fellows building
to the statue about eightthirty o clock
carrying their flowers and leis and af.
ter the decorating formed in a circle
in front of the statue where they were
addressed by Kaukau Ali Chung Hoon
Sr. The ceremony closed with the sing
ing of Hawaii Ponoi. There was a
large general attendance of spectators
at this function.
When the mounted police squad
came back from the Punahou picnic
they were as weary as force of FOND
mothers after getting the youngster:
washed and dressed for Sunday school
For about five hours they had hopped

and who is adjutant general on the
staff OF the United Sons of Veterans,

While Brunswick at one time had
a well-organized camp of sons of
veterans, in recent years the organi-

meetings have been held, but many
of those who are interested in such
an organization believe that the camp
can again be organized with a large

but it is more than likely that the
schedule will be inaugurated this
season on May l, as a big season is
expected and visitors will begin to

OUT OF A HUNDRED.

Some of the best crap shooting ever
seen in Brunswick was witnessed by
large number of people yesterday
afternoon, when several of the best
shots in the country gave an exhibit
tion on the grounds of the local gun
club.

w. r. Crosby of the same company,
and H. D. Gibbs of the U. M. Co. The
other professionals who were in the
city also made unusually good scores
1t was the first shoot held during
the season by the local club, and

a few days and organize for the sea-
son and regular shoots will be held
every Friday afternoon.
