in Island waters during the part week,
but which could not be sent here as
they occurred, owing to the censor
ship on such information imposed up
on the wireless companies.
As reported in tho Maul News last
week, the Japanese cruiser Hizen is
maintaining a patrol off tho port of
Honolulu just outside the three-mile
limit, presumably waiting until tho
little German cruiser Geier, under
going repairs to her machinery, ia
compelled by tho laws of neutrality
to leave tho harbor. While thus oc
cupied, tho little German trading
schooner Aeolus, from tho Marshall
Islands, seeking tho friendly shelter
of a neutral port, blundered right into
tho gray war vessel last Saturday
morning, and was made an easy cap
tive. Tho crew was transferred to
one of the German refugeo vessels In
tho haro.v, and during tho saino night
the JapuTior.f! made it taiget ot iLu
little crait toi tcr sjunlle" guus, and
later set her on Are, completely des
troying her.

tho gasoline schooner Hermes, under
tho German flag, 11G tons, and also a

Will Hold Next Meeting At
Summit
Tho committee which ha3 charge of
tho construction of a new rest house
on tho top of Haleakala, will hold a
meeting on the top of tho mountain
next Monday morning, for the purpose
of definitely deciding upon tho site
for tho structuro, and working out
other problems in connection with
the undertaking. Tho committee held
its second meeting last Tuesday, and
considered somo details of plans. A
letter from A. H. Ford with a number
of suggestions was read, while an of
fer was received from S. Honda to
build a stone houso 10x40 feet in
size, with conjereto floor and iron
roof, for $800, all mateiluls being fur
nished him.
The Honolulu Iron Works submit

"hy-rib," at about $700 for tho mater

Charles A. Yarrlck, of Honolulu,
wrote, offering his services as fore
man for tho construction work, at
$5 per day, and expenses.
No dcflnlto action was taken on
any of theso mailers. Tho commltteo

thus frustrating tho Japanese, who
tried to head her off. Tho chase was
an exciting one,, and was referecd by
the U. S. Revenue Cutter Thetis,
which warned the launches of tho
cruiser back, when their ardor threat
ened to carry them into United States
waters.
Another Trader Expected.
It is reported that a third German
schooner, the Atlas, also from the
South Seas, started for Hawaii about
the time the Aeolus and Hermes did,
and sho is expected here at any time,
unless her skipper changed his mind
and headed for some other port.
Ahlers Gets to Hllo Safely.
Tho German steamer O. J. D. Ahlcrs
which somo weeks ago reached Hono
lulu as a place of safety, raised her
anchors last Wednesday night and
slipped away to Hilo. It is reported
that sho had information of tho ar
ilval of ihc Japanese cruiser, but this
is denied. At nil events, tho German
had a narrow escape, for tho Hizen
was very close when she left Hono
lulu waters.
Tho German cruiser Gcicr, it is said,
has been permitted by the American
government to send to San Francisco
for certain materials needed in the
repair of her machinery. Rumors arc
current that other German cruisers
are expected to arrive before tho re
pairs arc completed, and the little
vessel compelled to leave the harbor
under tho neutrality laws. A Japa
nese collier has appeared during tho
week and icplcnished the fuel supply
of tho Hizen, and it is reported that
other Japanese war vessels are within
easy call, in caso there is "anything
doing." Tho Hizen is one of tho ves
sels captured from Russia during the
Russo-Japanese war, and was then
named tho Retvkan.
Puunene Teacher is In
QuarantmeDiptheria
For the second time within less
than six months, the Puunene school
was closed last Friday on account of
diptheria, and as in tho first instance,
it is one of tho teachers that is af
fected with tho disease. Health ins
pector Osmer authorized the opening
of tho school again last Tuesday, after
the buildings had been thoroughly
fumigated.
Miss Graco Hlllncr, who is tho
teacher in which tho disease has man
ifested itself this time, is quarantined
in tho school cottage. She is not ser
iously ill and it is expected that she
will bo compelled to remain in isola
tion for but a comparatively short
time. Although she did not have tho
diseaso during tho previous epidemic,
sho had tho mlsfortuno to bo quaran
tined for several weeks at that time,
as a "contact."

By Big Seas
Tailend Of Northwest Storm
Made Things Lively at Kaliu
lui Present Breakwater Stood
Well.
Some damage, and a great deal of
inconvenience was occasioned tho lat
ter part of last week by tho tremen
dous ocean swells which for a day or
two rendered most Maul ports unten
able for shipping. The Claudine man
aged to land her passengers at Ka
hului last Saturday morning, but was
unablo to lay up to tho wharf to put
freight ashore. Tho tankor Santa
Rita, which was unloading a cargo of
oil for tho ICahuluI Railroad, was ob
liged to take in her lines Friday morn
ing and leave the harbor with still
12,000 barrels of tho fluid In her tanks.
This was later discharged at Hono
lulu. The sea was apparently smooth, but
tho swell, which camo out of the
northwest, was tremendous when it
reached tho land. It raced directly
into Kahulul harbor, and at times in
undated tho beach road, strewing it
with gravel and drift wood, which had
to be cleared off several times. Tho
breakwater was submerged during tho
heaviest of tho onslaught, but stood
tho terrific pounding with compara
tively little damage. Tho supremo
need of the proposed west wing break
water was made unusually apparent
by- the storm.
The Claudine, after running around
to Lahalna, returned on Sunday morn
ing and managed to get her fre;gUt
ashoro Most of the Honolulu bound
passengers, went down by tho MiEa
hala from Lahalna Saturday evening.
Tho landing at Lahaiana was also
rough as a result of tho swell, but
boats managed to land their pasEcn
gers with some difficulty.
Engineer Pleased. (
Richard Qulnn, of tho U. S. Engin
eer's office, who is here on an inspec
tion trip, is greatly pleased with tho
way tho Kahulul breakwater came
through tho big storm of la3t Satur
day and Sunday.
"Practically no damage was done,"
declared Mr. Qulnn after he and Su
perintendent William Walsh of the
Kahulul Railroad had infido a careful
inspection of the bis structure. "A
fow stones out towards tho end of
the breakwater shifted, but three or
four days work will replace them.
Few persons realize that tho break
water stands Ilfty-flTQ foot high, or
just what such a hetgnt means. Tho
force of a sea that height moving
against it is something tremendous,
and I am extremely gratified at the
way tho structure stood this extreme
test."
Another feature of Interest which
Mr. Qulnn pointed out, is that ?lnee

On tho night of November 12, 1912,
a Porto Rlcan laborer on tho Hilo
Railroad extension, was murdered in
the construction camp, near Hakalau,
and his body dumped over tho cliff

Tho story told by Sheriff Pua con
cerning the murder is a ttrango one.

dent, in that tho gang which clubbed
tho Porto Rlcan to death really in
tended to kill Brown, who was Instru
mental in making the present arrests.

games, and a plot was laid to cnilco
him to the camp and kill him. Just
when tho trap was laid, tho unfortu
nate Porto Rlcan 'Humbled Into It,
and in the dark ho was killed with a
club hi the hands of Borueges. When
tho mistake was discovered, tho b -dy
was carried to tho cliff and thrown
over. ,
The murderers escaped detention
until' 'the present time, when through
a family quarrel, a woman connected
with tho gang told a part of tho story
to the police in order to get oven
with a man with whom she had quar
reled. This man was ai rested and
afterwards divulged tho whole story,
implicating tho two men just arrested
on this island.
tho federal government completed
the work at Kahulul, but $2000 has
been expended in repairs of ad kinds;
whereas tho expense for maintenance
was placed at $10,000 per year.
Hllo Breakwater Also Undamaged.
Mr. Qulnn stated that tho storm at
Hilo was equally severe, and that tho
Inspectors Ihoro report that tho Hilo
breakwater camo through without any
perceptible damage whatever.
