Dcmlng prominent In tlto world of sugar machinery construe tton and n visitor to Honolulu In the month of Jniumry of this year, has just Rained n heaping amount of fame In a Held quite away from his system of clarification so well known on the plantations of nil cano countries. Mr. I Dcmlng sends to his friend, E. D. Ten-' ney hero, nnd others, an account of the rcmarkahln, cruise of the gasoline launch, Zeta, owned and sailed by Mr. Dcmlng nnd carrying the Hag of the Southern Yacht Club. The launch was built lu nine weeks under the. dlree tlon of Mr. Doming to replace one lost by (Ire. Sho Is 47 ft. 8 Inches on tlio load wa ter line, 9 feet beam, and draws about .1 fpet of water aft. Her timbers are of steamed oakt and tho ribs are placed exceptionally closo together to add strength to tho formation of tho hull. Her planking la Hi Inches thick, and there aro only one or two joints, tho majority of tho plnnks running from tho stem to tho stern. The bow of tho Zeta Is almost straight, hut there Is enough curvo to mid, beauty to tho trim lines. The sern has a clean run and enough overhang. Forward there Is a strong rail and aft there was n rail, but tho sea off tho Florida coast carried It and tho yawl boat overboard. Tho cabin house of the craft extends avross tho beam of tho craft, leaving only a few Inches on each sldo for a footing. In fact, there Is no deck on tho sides of tho cabin, and only a small deck forward of tho pilot houso and aft of tho cngino room. Tho sides of the cabin aro almost en tirely made of glass, which gives plenty of air niui light o the apart ments within. In tho ciuluo of the Zeta beginning In July of. this year and ending four months later, there was traveled tho distance of 0,217 miles, with many ad ventures and hair-breadth escapes. The course was up tho Mississippi to St. Louis, thenco through tho Chicago canal to Chicago, across tho lako nnd Into tho Erio canal, thenco to UufTalo, thenco to tho Hudson river, thence to New York city, thenco to Chcasapeake Uay, on sbuthward to Key West, Char leston had been visited nnd a stop was made at Savannah. Finally the. launch thutslastlc cheers nnd a salute, of five steamed Into Lako Ponchartraln nnd to her old moorings, very llttlo worso for tho voyage and greeted with en guns. Mr. Demlng Is a devoted yachts man, nnd has certainly done, more than falls to tho opportnlty of tho nvcrago amateur sailor man. His whole crow consisted of engineer and cook and his passongcrs wero wwe and two daugu teis.

Mr. Dcmlng Is Justly proud of his achievements nnd Joking says to his Island friends that ho might take, tho notion sometime to steam around hero In the Zetn. GERMANY'S WLAK I'RIHNDSIIIP London, Dec. 10. Tho grave situ ation confronting Great Hrltaln In South Africa nlmost obliterates tho ef fect of the speech of tho German Min ister of Foiolgn Affairs, Count von lluelow, In tho Reichstag Monday Inst. Though scarcely any announcement of recent yenrn hns had so much hearing on tho future of Europe, in spite of tho uninformed Comment In some Eng lish quartern that Count von Uuolow spoko merely for polltlcnl effect, In other words "Jollied" the Heicnstng uy mentis of jingoistic sophistics, for homo consumption. In Vienna, which Is in closer touch with Hcrlln than any other capital, Count von Ilculow Is Interpreted ns Hinging down tho gnuntlct to Great lliltnlu. Tho Neuc Frelo I'rcsse, which has personal connection with tho Foreign Minister of Germany, declares that Germany is determined to obtain the greatest possible advantago from tho South African complications, and ndds: "The 'cool mention or Euglnud dissipates all apprehensions caused by Emperor William's stay nt Windsor, and it Is not lmposslblo that England's difficulty mny, in certain circumstances ho Germany's opportunity."

Just who will present tho bill to Con gress cannot bo learned, but it is stat ed authoritatively that tho chairman of tho Houso Military Commlttco has looked It over, and will glvo it bis full support. Thora is strung outsido In Iliionco In favor of It, too, and it is stated that thcro will bo practically no opposition. Captain Darucson, Marino Superln- , tondont of the transport scrvlco, 'said yesterday: "I have heard of this hill, but I do not known much about It.

OBJECTING TO THE CEMR London Wants More Detailed From tb3 Caps. News Boers Unqucs!omb!y Have Cullers Guns Ladysrnlih Hay Fall at Any Tune-D.fil-' culilcs Ar!ic tt Pdiislug. . New York, Dec. 21. A dispatch to the Tribune from London, says:. Th tie Is practically no fresh news from the scat of war. Further details of the battle of Colenso continuo to dribble in, but ou tho whole they do not add much Information. The Post's correspondent afllrms positively that tho Doers captured ten British Held guns. Col. Duller, com manding the Devon regiment, with three olllccrs nnd forty men were sur rounded nnd nil wero taken prisoners by the Doers whllo looking for wound ed men under a Hag of truce. According to tho Chronicle's cor respondent tho llrltlsn mounted Infan try r.nd Irregular corpi, with two bnt tcrlcs of uitlllcry, managed to takn the Colonso road bridge and eventually cross tho river, but the Hocr rlllo lire prevented them from pushing on, nnd the battery was abandoned. Seeming ly tho gnus wero lost on the north sldo of tho Tugeltt and If so, there Is llttlo doubt that they wero iccapturcd. Tho 'I Imes says that pcoplo who know the country consider the Doer position the strongest in Natal. Mr. Uurlelgh In tho Telegraph says tho Ilocrs nro digging more trenches nearer tno river nnd employing a creu sot gun to shell tho Hritisn camp. riicio Is still no news of Lord Mcth 'uen. Ills commouiilcntlons hnvo been ,cut or else tho censors nro determined 'to allow no information ns to his do lugs to reach the outer world. Some sensation hns been caused in diploma tic circles in St. Potcrsbuig by a state ment that tho llrltlflh ambassador there had u private audience with tho Cznr In connection with events In South Africa. Tho chief cause of tho uneasiness which brings back the shadow to Eng lish faces Is a suspicion that tho Lady- smhh garrison Is short of ammunition and Incapablo of a prolonged defense. The War Olllco docs not numit tnnt Midysmlth Is In serious danger or anoit of ammunition, but the rciiBor ihlp somehow hns allowed these alarming leports to reach England. Tho censor, it is apparent, sometimes rails asleep or Is drugged by too can Jld and too Inquisitive friends. Dispatches from Colenso aro still coming In, but overy ono bears ovl denco of rough treatment from tho .'Cnsorsnlp. It is Impracticable cither to reconctlo theso disjointed, frngmen ,nry nceounts, one with nnothcr, or to irpialu tl'u discrepancies between neiii and General Hullcr'o report. One .(Uiriml after another 1a forced to de ictlbo their own correspondents dls- latchcs as unintelligible and I'.ur"! are ilvciiig expressions of disapproval of .ho uithlcss manner In vjhlch tho ccn lor mutilates tho carefully written trtss dispatches after tho battles nro fought. Thcro aro nt Icaijt a dozen ucstlons of fact which remain unset tled 6lx days after this battle occurred. Tho most important of these rcinto to iho comparative ranges of tho Iloer mil nrltlsh guns, and tho circumstan ces In which Long's battery was lost. Englishmen nro anxious to know whether Buller's army, with n numeri cal superiority in guns and with n -higher degreo of skill In tho scrvlco of them, was without ndequnto protec tion owing to the fact that It was out classed by tho Boer artillery. There aro n hundred details which tho pub lic is eager to learn nbout tho chief battle of tho war nnd overy corres pondent Is gaged and bound and shut off from clear, descriptive work. Tho English press Is much moro docile nnd submissive than tho American press would be in similar clrcumstnnccs, but it is showing signs of irritation and is on tho point of nsklng whetacr tho war in South Africa is n prlvato enter prise conducted for tho purposo of shielding ropututlons of favorites in tho Held nnd red tape martlnetB In the War Office. Hocr accounts of tho Colenso battlo aro modest and convoy tho impression iuat tho Dutch burghers aro not un duly elated by their victory on tho Tu gela. KSs:;a Pacific 8quadron Crultic.
