Polo hoi mni ! (Polo has ro
turued.) Aftor a fourtcon months
vacation, probably spout in tho
innermost depths of tho earth, tho
Hawaiian goddess has returned to
hor homo on tho breast of Mauna
Loa. Although immortal, it is
very likely that tho herculean
labor of keeping tho tremendous
Tiro in order groMs wearisome at
times, so that onco in a decado or
so sho takes a rest.
ff.-'Whon the lake of,vfire sank and
the wallsf Halemoumau tumbled
in, in tho early part of December,
1894, a largo numbor of people
wore Btaying at tho Volcano House.
Tho scono was ono of tho grandest
sights over witnessed. As the
immense mass of liquid lava ro-
ceded lower and lowor in tho pit,'
streams of fire, a brilliant red in
color, cascaded down tho sides of
tho crater, splnshing into tho lake,
while tho walls woro. white hot and
ovory moment huge masses of
rock, hundreds of tons in weight,
would cavo away from tho sides
and thunder into tho depths bo-
law. Tho splendor of tho coloring
is impossible to describe, varying
as it did from black
through all tho gradations
of rose, crimson andscarlot,to tho
intolerable glare of the whito hot
centres of greatest activity. Now
that tho fires havo como back and
tho lake has risen again to some
thing like its former position, tho
appearance is much tho samo as
thatjust previous to tho collapse.
The present point of activity in
Kilnucn occupies but a small por
tion of tho lloor of tho immonso
crater, nine miles in circumference.
This section is constantly chang
ing, so that tho view of tho volca
no always contains now features.
During the past twenty yonrs tho
southern half of tho crator has
been gradually filling up, raising
itsolt by internal luting force and,
up to November, 189-1, building a
surrounding embankment by suc
cessive ovorllows. In January
'94 tho lake of firo was within a
few feet of tho general level of
that portion ajid in March it had
reached a hiehor staco than over
) beforo, tho surface of the lake he
me tho hicnest point m tuo cra
tor, having risen from a depth of
over four liundrod feet.
The action at this time was very
sluggish; a slow boiling, while
each successive rise cause a slight
overflow, tho outpouring fimd
quickly solidifying and conse
quently building a wall around
itself. As many as six of these
ovorllows woro seen at ono tirao
issuing from different portions of
tho lake. Masses of lava woiild
harden into a crust at some point
of comparative quiet only to bo
forced over tho sidoby tho current
which constantly flows through
tho lake, trending generally to
ward tho place of greatest activity .
Later, tho lako itself formed tho
apex of a conoliko rise which, up
to tho timo it sunk, grow more
and more marked.
From a prominent government
official wo havo learned many of
tho following facts relative to the
return of tho fiery flood. Indica
tions of it had boon noted for
Bomo timo past by Mr. Leo, man
ager of tho Volcano Houso, and
also by Albert tho guide. At 10:50
p. m. on January 3d a rodglow
was seon in tho sky immediately
above tho pit, Halomaumau. At
5 o'clock on tho morning of tho
4th a doscent was made and it waB
discovered that tho fire had como
back and was flowing in from ono
sido about four hundred and fifty
feet boof tho top. A BmalUrtko
had formed, which was boiling
liko mad and constantly oularging.
HONOLULU, H. I.. FRThAY. JANUARY 81. 189G.
Suddenly it began to run out
again, receding rapidly, causing
boiuo fear that tho alarm was a
false ono. Then a heavy stream
began to flow in from a largo
cavity on ono Bido somo thirty
feet above tho floor. Again tho
lako formed and boforo daylight
had nearly filled up tho entire
bottom of tho pit.
Tho first parties of tourists" to
visit tho crator woro tho Premier
of Queensland and other officials
of that government and Chester
A. Doyle. Standing on tho brink
a magnificont view was obtained,
while directly opposite to them
tho wpn.8 woro again falling in,
while tho combined uproar es
caping cases, tho ancrv lake, tho
delugo'of tho molten lava pouring
down tho sido and tho thunderous
crash of falling rock from tho
walls was most terrific.
Since that timo the lako has
been rising steadily and had, at
last advices, reached a point less
than three hundred feet
from tho i
top.
Tho cut here oiven will onablo
one to form some idea of tho pres
ont condition of tho crator. From
tho point marked E to that mark
ed G is about 1400 feet; from G
to F about 500 .and from A to B
400. r
There is no doubt as to tho
permanency of tho firo.
Of courso there was groat and
immediate excitement all over Ha
waii. Many Hilo people havo
Binco visited tho volcano and
tho general opinion is that
tho exhibition is now finer than
ever before, iuiauca is tno ono
grand sight which novor disap
points and never fails to appeal
most strongly to the imagination.
It has to bo soon to bo, by any
CRATER
possibility, appreciated. Tourists,
oven in tho old days, boforo the
present splendid road from Hilo
was built, and tho only mode of
reaching the volcano was by
horseback or on a manolo (litter)
bomo by native bearers, would
arrive at tho orator tired, sore aud
anxiouB for a rest; but upon tho
first view of tho splendors of Polo's
homo, weariness was forgotten
and tho night spent in -gazing at
tho awful Bpoctaolq. Today, with
tho handsome Bteamors fitted up
with ovory convonioncoj tho fino
highway across Hawaii and tho
excellent accommodations at tho
Volcano Houso, it behooves tho
thousands who annually "dp Eu
rope" to como hero and witness
tho sight boforo which ovory othor
on earth grows tamo.
Besides, ovory mile of coast
linn, fnrnst. road, mountain and
valloy is beautiful. There aro a
thousand lovely scones which ap
peal to ovory sonso. Apro
pos of tho subject, Howard Hitch
cock, tho artist, who was living
at Hilo during '80 and '81, when
tho great flow burst out from tho
sido of Mauna Loa and ran down
tho mountain side for thirty-fivo
miles, a river of fire from a quar
ter to a milo in width, tolls many
interesting things of that spocta
olo. Ono night while Bitting near tho
flow, a httlo Btreatn of lava sud
denly darted off to ono Bido and
camo in contact with a hugh (load
OF
log, BOjgy, wet and half rotted.
Tho lava banked up against it and
finally rising to sufficient hoight
swept ovor and around tho log,
covering it completoiy. as tno
raasB cooled, tho conuned steam,
generated from tho water in the
logj swolled out tho thin covering
which, when in that state, is tough
and elastic, so thai it resembled
an immense bubble, ten feet high
and thirty or forty in diameter, a
deop red in huo. At last tho in
creasing v61umo of steam caused a
Crossuro so groat that tho bubble
urst with n tremendous report,
while from its centre a beautiful
rose-colored flamo shot into tho
air to a distance of twonty feet or
more, continuing for a considera
ble poriod of time.
Tho engulfing of standing tim
ber was a gorgoouB display. Up
the trunk of a largo treo tho des
cending flood would rise and tho
intolerable heat would quickly sot
tho wholo into a blaze. Thou, as
the top would break away, tho lava
would cool rapidly, forming
around mo tan stump ono or tuo
so called lava vases, thousands of
which are to bo scon now along
tho flow.
For eight months the lava con
tinued to run until it was within
halt a milo of Hilo town. Eeal
estate was vory low priced about
this timo; in fact could not bo
given away, as, although Hawai
an soild is vory rich, when covered
ovor with solid rock to tho depth
of five or six feet it is not profita
ble for tho purposes of agriculture.
It was supposed that tho flow
would continue until it had swept
away tho town and run into tho
sea. At last, ono or two of tho
older natives concluded to try tho
effect of a littlo of tho
ETLATJEA.
ancient rites, in oldon times usual
on such occasions. So they
hunted up a kahuna, or priest,
purchased a bottle of gin, .roasted
a pig and gathered together somo
other trifloB known to bo accept
able to Madamo Pole, and going
to tho ond of tho lava, throw them
in, together with somo few words
of advico and instruction to tho
goddess. And lo! It camo to
pass that tho flow did stop the
vory next day. Of courso, none
of tho whito people bolioved in
tho efficacy of Biich beastly idola
try, but, nevertheless, I don't be
liovo if It wore to occur ngain any
ono would injure their vocal
powers trying to porsuado the
natives that it was folly. Another
flow is about duo now and every
tourist should hurry up and come
to Hawaii in order to bo on tho
ground to seo it.
Ono of tho most interesting
sights of tho Islands is tho caves
formed in tho ono just mentioned.
They extend for many miles un
dor lava and aro of easy access,
being so near Hilo. They aro
filled with stalactites and stalag
mites of black, hard lava from
half an inch to a foot or more in
longtli. Along either side run
gutters and low natural benches
and seats, whilo occasionally a
small alcovo is formed to ono side,
tho floors of which ore as smooth
oh glass.

";Tlio trial of Mrs. Fomandes
and Miss Rodriques, tho two wo
raon accused of smuggling opium
off the Australia, commenced in
tho District CourtVestorday after
noon, and ended shortly after
noon today. Tho Attorney-General
in person, assisted by Depu
ty Marshal Hitchcock prosecuted,
and Messrs. Hartwell, Thurston &
Stanley and 'Paul Neumann and
Chas. Creighton defended.
Officer Cordes was tho first wit
ness. Ho dotailedtho circumstan
ces of tho visit 'to Luis Benoni's
room and tho finding of tho opium
by Captain Scott. Ho had seon
tho women coming off tho Austra
lia early in tho evening, but did
not follow theni. Ho noxt saw
them coming out of Benoni'st
room, accompanied by two men,
ono of whom was known to him as
a barbor employed in Roach's
shop. He examined tho under
clothing found under tho bed nnd
counted tho tinB of opium found
thorein, at this point tho witness
was requested by Attorney Nou
inaun to replaco tho opium in tho
two pairs of drawers as it was
when found by him, but was un
able to got tho tins all in to tho
pockets. Did not speak to tho
barber on tho caso until next day
when ho got no satisfactory
aiiBwors.
Xavior, a polico officer, also saw
tho womon coming off tho steamer
early in tho evening,
and again
later with tho two men
coming
out or xiononi s room. Xt was m
consequonco of what amun named
Fisher told thorn that thoy watched
tho room in Fowler's yard. Fisher
was not m tno employ or tno po
lico as far as ho know but ho told
thorn something suspicious was
going on.
John Fisher, tho amateur do
toctivo in tho case, told of tho sus
picious actions of tho two men
and women in Benoni's room,
nnd said that tho men had to as
sist tho women to get up tho
stairs.
Kanihumaolo, a hackdrivor tes
tified that ho drove two womon
and two men from Queen
street to Fowler's yard on tho
night of tho Australia's ar
rival nnd that Bononi camo
out and talked to them nttho
houso. Ho noticed that on getting
out the womon walked in a queer
way but could not identify them
as thoy had on black dresses and
veils.
At this stage tho caso wbb con
tinued till this morning.
After disposing of a fow minor
cases the caao was resumed at 10
o'clock this morning when Luis
Bononi took tho stand. Upon tho
application of his counsel the
Court directed tho witness that ho
need not anBwor any -question by
doing .which ho would incriminate
himself, tho prosecution taking an
exception to tho ruling.
Bononi soul that on the night
in q'uostion. ho had boon out dur
ing tho evening but returned
about 10:30 and won't to bed. Ho
douiodnll knowledge of tho opium
being in his room, as ho had nover
soon tho drawers or opium until
thoy woro discovered under tho
bed by tho officers. Ho had soon
ono of tho men in question beforo
but had never seen nor did ho know
any tiling ot tno womon.
Fred Murphy, tho second mess-
man ot tho Australia, Biiid that ho
know tho women from seoing thorn
on tho Australia. Thoy camo
down in company with a man
named Pablo Artimo, whoso pro
sent whoreabonts ho did not know.

men but beyond that ho knew no
thing about them. .
This ended tho caso for the pro
secution, and tho defense moved
for a dismissal on tho ground of
insufficient evidence to connect
(ho two womon with tho opium',
found in nnothor's possession.
Tho argument on tho motion took
up until noon when the Court
donied it.
The defense declined to intro
duce any testimony mid Judgo dc
la Vorgne found both defendants
guilty and sentenced thorn to
thirty days each in tho ponilontiary
and a fine of S700, together with
$2.95 costs. Tho case will be ap
pealed at onco to tho Circuit
Court at tho term which com
mences next week.
The attorneys for tho defense
think thoy havo n good caso and
that no jury will convict onHho
evidence so far adduced.
Tho two womon wero seon by a
Bulletin reporter aftor their sen
tence. Thoy seomed to think that
their sontonco was pretty stiff, but
had nothing to srty about thoir fu
ture proceedings, as tho mutter
was in tho hands of their attorneys,
