AS published in Sundays 1880 extra
of the Star-Bulletin, boilers and en-
gines of all the refugee German mer-
chant steamers in port have been COM
pletely ruined by the vessels crews.
most of the destruction having been
wrought, probably, from Friday to
Sunday, as soon as the international
situation became serious. On one
boat it was done week ago. ~
Beginning at 7:30 Sunday morning,
U. s. Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers
Joseph j. Meany and Thomas J.
Heeney, accompanied by customs in.
spectors and armed soldiers, boarded
every merchant steamer in port and
made thorough inspection of the
boilers, engines and other machinery.
They finished in the afternoon -.
Find Scenes Of Wreckase
: What they found, was complete
ruination, Boilers had been burned
out by blazing fires after the water
lad been drawn, engines had been put
out of commission by damaging steam
chests and cracking cylinder heads,
gauges and cocks had been battered
by heavy hammers, holes pierced in
pipes by heavy picks, valves smashed,
dynamos wrecked, engine telegraphs
ruined, navigating Instruments thrown

Some Specific Instances :.
On the biggest merchantmen, the
Pommern, boilers we're totally ruined
and machinery battered A sea-cock
had been prepared for opening by re-
moval of the nuts of all studs but one.
Opening of the cock would have sunk
the ship. ~. .
Engine damage was worst on the
Prinz Waldemar. Her engines are
practically a total loss. The Setos
was the only steamer on which the
work of destruction was half-hearted
or interrupted before completion Her
boilers had not cooled completely
when the inspectors boarded her. Her
engines were unchanged.
Work Done Week Ago
On the gasoline schooner Hermes
the crew said they had disabled her
engines week ago. The steamers

SPECIAL PRAYERS
ASKING GUIDANCE

With diplomatic relations severed
and America on the verge of war
with Germany, special prayers for the

Christian churches.
Minister David Cary Peters OF the
Christian church set aside his regular

ment on the good that is certain to
result from actual warfare. 1t will
mean, he asserted, a new appraise-
ment OF life and the realization TO all
concerned that q national civilization

He ended his brief remarks by offer

expressed that the administration use
the utmost wisdom in handling the

Army TAKES HAND
INDAYSEVENTS.

Events moved rapidly yesterday
with the army and evidently without
Fitch. Officers at headquarters,
donned in Sunday white, handled the
situation that became serious locally
with the beginning of the fire on the
German Geier
1t was at word from Pearl Harbor
that the army took charge with troops,
one company from the End Infantry
camp at the Capitol grounds and one
from Fort Armstrong marching to the
waterfront Soldiers with machine
guns and rifles took station atop the
big coal pile on Allen street SO as to
look down directly on the Geier.
Others patrolled the streets and KEEP:
back the rapidly increasing crowd.
To increase the numbers at Fort
Shafter, diminished by the sending
out of men to Honolulu, the 1st Infan
try came in from Schofield. At the
noon hour the two remaining com.
panies of the End Battalion. Fort
'Shafter, arrived here and encamped
alongside their comrades in the Capt..
toll grounds.
Squads of enlisted men and officers
took charge of the German sailors on
hoard the Geier and Locksun, which
number was found to be greater by
102 men than had been previously re-
ported. They were taken to various
army posts. The largest number is at
Schofield Barracks, 175 men and 10
officers.
Others are at Fort Shafter, Ringer
and Fort Kamehameha. Their status
is ''interned aliens" and they are under
close guard.
At the request of the customs Off
Gals the army also put armed guards
upon all of the German merchantmen
in the harbor. - 4

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. al
though diplomatic relations with Ger
many have been severed and the world
is a-tiptoe awaiting the final crash
that will precipitate the United States
into the war, President Wilson and
his cabinet officials still cling to the
hope that actual hostilities can be
avoided While strenuously prepar-
ing to meet war if it comes the presi-
dent is also striving still to bring
about peace
Indeed, spokesmen for the admins
tration in Congress and elsewhere are
declaring today that the rupture with
Germany is the greatest of all the
peace moves which the president has
yet made, and reiterating their belief
that Germany, having been warned of
the folly of her endeavor to intimidate
the United States will be willing to
keep her pledges to this country and
carry on her submarine warfare
against the Entente Allies as her gov
eminent pledged itself to do.
President Wilson; it was asserted
yesterday, still looks hopefully toward
the other neutral countries He has
sent to the American diplomats in all
of these countries instructions to ex
plain the attitude Of the United States
to the authorities in the capitals
where they are stationed, and to in
vite all the neutral nations to join
the United States in this protest
against the threat of ruthlessness
made by Germany.
While clinging to the hope of peace
the president and his advisors are still
keeping a. keen eye on the possibility
that the rupture with Germany will
lead to open war, and neither he nor
the other members of the administra-
ton are abating in the least their eff
forts to be prepared to take part in
the conflict should that duty be forced
upon the country.
May Convoy American Ships
The question of conveying American
ships through the submarine zone by
American ships of war was taken up
and discussed in various official
circles here yesterday, but nothing
definite was decided upon. The first
impression was that it would be bet
ter to permit them to continue on
their lawful way unprotected, but this
may be changed as time and events
prove otherwise.
The, general assumption on the part
of those who are advocating that they
be allowed to go unprotected by cruis-
ers is that Germany has had her
warning. and knows now that any
overt act on her part will mean that
the United States will be added to
the list of her foes and will model |
her conduct accordingly.

German ambassador, is still busy !

ready to leave the country as soon as !
