Acting upon the ailvlee of the sur geons in charge General King visited the military hospital at Independence park Saturday evening nnd officially condemned the place as a hospital site. Speaking of this action the depart incut commander said later: "The patients at the hospital will be re moved as quickly as possible to some place nnrqr the hills, where it is dryer and cooler. 1 nm convinced that the hospital should never hnve been locat ed at Independence park. The hu midity there Saturday night was simp ly distressing to the lungs of a well num. Once only in my life have I met with such air. This was in a yellow fever hospital in Mississippi." A site for the hospital lias not yet been chosen. There will be careful consultation between the surgeons before anything is Anally determined. For the present the malaria hospital on the Dow lot near Punchbowl will be used as far as possible. This, by tne way, is found to be a very healthy locality. All the patients there are improving. The New York regiment and battal ion of engineers will be gotten out of Camp McKinley as fast as possible. One company left camp yesterday for the neighborhood of Waialne. where tents were pitched. Others will camp during the afternoon near Lunnlilo Home, back of Punchbowl, nnd nenr Kalilii. As rapidly as possible all the companies will be moved out. It is safe to say that by noon tomorrow the camp will be deserted. A number of army wagons went out to the camp this morning to follow up the moving companies with their tents ami bag gage. Permanent barracks will be started at once on the lot at Kahauiki, There has been a hitch in the matter of a lease to a part of the property, but this was straightened out at a confer ence of officers and owners held in General King's office this morning. Lumber will be hauled back from Camp McKinley to Kahauiki and then turned over .to the carpenters among the engineer- wit'i instructions to proceed with building upon the lines originally outlined. The nnnearanee of typhoid fever 111 the camps is the cause of the desertion of the camp. Local health authorities were taken into the confidence of the camp surgeons yesterday and suggest cd remedies, but the latter did not feel instilled in risking the place any further, impregnated as it is with the germs of disease. Troops in Camp Otis will remain where they are until the nrrlval of the Arizona from Manila. If you don't know what -you want, our bicycle man, R. C. Geer, will help you out.

The inquest on the killing of Tom Hniinan and Alohikea by an. electric wire last Friday night was continued In the office, of the deputy marshal Hurt morning. Anouioy uenerni smith Marshal Brown aim Deputy Attorney General Dole were present, and assist ed in bringing out the evidence. The point sought to be educed lrom the witnesses was that of how a short cir cuit came about. W. E. Rowell, superintendent of the public works, was the lirst witness. The principal item in his testimony was that ot the height of the wires above the street and the possibility of a wogon or some other moving ob struction knocking the line down on the night of the accident. He said the wire was 13 feet 7 inches high. It might be possible for a wagon or oth er vehicle loaded extraordinarily high to strike it. Stearns Puck, superintendent of the government light station, wun the next and principal witness. He was closely questioned by the Attorney Uenerni, .Huhshal JJrown, two engin eer officers in court and members of the jury. There was a short circuit undoubtedly. How it happened, how ever, was hard to determine. The pin holding the insulator and the wire was nearly worn through and was not ca llable' of holding very much weight. A forked branch of u tree falling uport it might do it. There were many bad pins to insulators in the government service. They had been in us; many years and were about worn out. The work of renewing them was going on as fast as the appropriation at hand and force of workmen would permit. Lineman Whitlock was called on to Identify a piece of wire which he had cut from the line on the night of the accident. He had ten years experience as nn electrician in various capacities. J 11 ins opinion the short circuit was not produced by a branch of n tree falling upon the wires, for the princi pal reason that there were no trees near enough to touch them. It was possible that a heavily loaded wagon passing beneath may have thrown the wires together. James Crane testified to having cut the wire bearing the insulator for Mr. Ruck, and identified the material. Other witnesses were Dr. Emerson, Maile and Policeman Gardner. Maile is a lineman employed by Mr. Ruck Gardner told the story of finding the two men dead in the street and of the position of the wire. Dr. Emerson stated that he had examined the men at the station house shortly after they arrived there and lound both dead. This afternon, Mr. Cross, n visiting electrical expert, was called to the stand. He had examined the wires, heard the evidence and had a diagram of the wires on the poles to illustrate his testimony. He said there was no question but that the short circuit was produced by the parting of the pin from the pole arm, this throwing one of the wires ncross the other. The burning and sagging of the wires fol lowed immediately. Lieutenant Tiee nnd Lieutenant Coolidge, both electrical experts of the engineers corps at Camp McKinley will be called later in the afternoon to give their opinion of the cause of the accident. It is understood thnt their testimony will agree in the mnin with -Mr. Cross. PHILIP LE BLOND. Second Officer Philip Le Blond of the Centennial formerly lived in llono lulu and was an officer on several of the Island steamers. The past two or three years he has been prospecting for gold at Cook's Inlet, and hns a number of properties which he be lieves will eventually pan out well. He was with the Centennial on the Skagway run during the earlier part of tins season. MRS. CARTER'S FUNERAL.

Mnunnolu Sem inary will be rebuilt, and on a much, liner nnd lnrger scale, and in a more convenient location thnn wns the for mer school. Hon. II. P. Baldwin, who has shown so much generosity throughout the whole of the misfortune, has now of fered to rebuild the seminary tit his sole expense, and donations received from others will be applied toward the furnishing of the same. A building to cost from $20,000 to $25,000 will be built, and there is talk of making it of stone, though thnt is not settled. The Pnia plantation will in all prob ability let the trustees hnve land in the vicinity of Rev. E. G. Beekwlth's Sunnysldo for the seminary, though the exact location lias not vet been selected. It is planned to have the new build ing ready for occupancy and work by August of next year, to commence the new term in. When finished the new East Maui seminary will be a grent improvement on the old one, nnd the equal of any thing like it on the Islands. The trustees held another meeting on Thursday morning last at Pala and decided to lease the Halenkala school premises from Mrs. II. G. Alexander, and carry 011 the school there until the new quarters are ready. The scholars will return as fnst as qunrters can be made ready for them. The girls that remained and the teachers moved into tlie temporary qunrters on Tuesdny last, and for a time will do little but sew. The ladles of Maui, and of Ma- kawao nnd Spreckelsville especially, are hard at work sewing for them, nnd n great deal is being accomplished. In the end the seminnry will have gnlned considerable by the tire, and as it is turning out the teachers and the girls will suffer no loss financial ly, as donations are coming in so lib erally that thev will be able to replace their destroyed ellects, so their loss will be of association only. PROTEST AGAINST A WAIK1KI PLACE. Made Because of Its Proximity to Camp McKinley Licensee lias Been Advised to Walt. Minister Sewall has complained to the government against the establish ment of the Ottmati light wine and beer saloon near the bridge at Wnlki ki. Colonel Barber ' behind the complaint, and it is on account of the soldiers that it is made. Chief Clerk llnssinger lias advised Ottman to wait a few days before opening his place, to give tlie government tune to look into tlie grounds of the complaint. It is understood that Colonel Barber is very averse to having a saloon of any description near his soldiers. It is an old idea of his. He would not permit u canteen to be run at Camp Merritt and refused to allow an ex army officer to open such a place at Camp McKinley here. When tlie Ottman matter came up Colonel Barber informed tlie prospec tive saloon keeper that if lie opened his place at the bridge he (Barber) would station n guard before the door to arrest any and every soldier at tempting to enter it. This of course would ruin tlie business. Ottman ap pealed to the government against tlie threat and nbout the same time this morning Minister Sewall filed his com plaint. Ottman lias complied with every particle of the law and has his license, He has erected a new house for his li quors and would have opened Satur day but for tlie stand taken by Colon el Barber. He expected considerable patronage from the soldiers. THE NEW MAUI SF.M1NARY. ill! II SF.COND OF T11K SEATTLE LINERS ARRIVES.
