Besieeers Kept at Distance.

The investment was not close one. The garrison held up until recently a radius of about 12 miles in which to move about and some dispatches told of shooting expedition indulged in by the officers of the garrison. An aero plaHe post mas maintained almost up to the last, and it is said that even some scanty food supplies were car ried in this way
 The Przemysl garrison was estimat- cd at S0,000 men last September, and last week it was reported that it had diminished to 25,0OO. There have been recurrent reports of cholera and other diseases, but these reports were as vague as many of the premature re- ports regarding its surrender.
 Petrograd sends the following on the fall of the Galician stronghold:
 "The Przemysl garrison, which ca pitulated to the Russian army, sur rendered without a fight The hoist. ing of the white flag over the fortress, which was said to be on the point of surrender on a number of occasions, caused little surprise, as it was gener. ally known that it was in a terribly weakened condition, without food or ammunition, and that it's endurance was only a question of days
 War Office advices report that nine Austrian generals were taken, more than 300 officers and 50.0O0 men.
 "The Russian general commanding the investing army has been decorated with St. Georges cross
 Snow Fails to Check Joy.
 "A heavy snowstorm failed to check the enthusiastic demon strations in which the civil and military popula- tions united when the fall of Przemysl was announced. The crowds founder ing in deep drifts, which tied up street traffic, cheered the officers and sol. diers, who remained to participate in the celebrations.
 From the Kazan cathedral the 1trains of the national anthem swelled in volume as the crowd gathered and from other points throughout the city mysteriously hidden behind the dense curtain of falling snow, music burst forth and added to the general spirit of enthusiasm. The moral effect ot the victory on Russia, it is expected will be very great, awakening hopes that this will be the turning point in the Galician and Carpathian cam paign."
 Austrian Statement.
 The following official communica, tion has been issued from Vienna
 After four months investment Przemysl has honorably fallen The commander has received an order tc leave the fortress to the nmy in three days bcause at the moment of attack even with the greatest economy in the food rations, resistance could be maintained for three days only.
 Tt proved possible to effect the timely destruction of the fortress, to gether with it's guns and ammunition as VII as the outer Notifications.

BOAT -.
IS GOING AHEAD

Fred Macfarlane, of the local branch
of Libby, Mcneil & Libby, returned
from a trip to San Francisco by the
steamer Wilhelmina on Tuesday.
Mr.. Macfarlane 5 mission on the
Coast was in part in connection with
the projected placing of a steamship on
the run between Oahu and San Francis
90 in the interest of the local pineapple
trade.
Macfarlane stated yesterday that
work on the plans and specifications OF
the proposed steamer were going ahead
but that ii was improbable that the yes
sci would be placed in commission this
year.
1t is planned to build a steamer o.
1900 tons, equipped with Diesel engines,
which shall run regularly between San
Francisco and Oahu. ,,. ~
The home port will be Punaluu on
the windward side of the island, aud it
is expected that before very long the
harbor at Kahului will have been
dred ed so as to permit the steamer pro
ceeding further.
The new steamer will carry supplies
from the Coast for Libby, McNeilh Il
Libby, and will take back canned goods.
Transference of cargo from Punaluu
to Kahului, pending the deepening Of
the harbor at the latter place, will be
effected by means of lighters.
Macfarlane stated yesterday that he
was hopeful that the dredging of Kah
hui harbor would not be long delayed.
He said that the fact that it would
greatly facilitate an industry of such
Importance to Hawaii as the raising Of
pideapples would, in his opinion, ensure
prompt action on the part of congress,
