Honolulu, October i. Walter

sessor for Wiamea District, Kauai,
ex-Treasurer
be short in
amount of
and a brother of
Wright, is alleged to
his accounts to the
people all over the Islands will
know at once that it is a go. It
has taken years for the men at the
back of the proposition to bring
their plans to a successful termina
tion, but the time that has elapsed
lias given people interested a chance
to look into what has been offered,
and the keen scrutiny has located a
business proposition of the very
first water. With Philip Peck at
the helm, Hilo will very soon see
the Hilo-Kohala railway an accom
plished fact. This Hilo financier
was seen by a Bulletin reporter
previous to his departure for his
home today, and in answer to vari
ous questions, made reply substan
tially as follows:
"It was only a short time ago
that I was authorized to handle the
financial end of the Hilo-Kohala
Railroad and, of course, I am pro
ceeding very carefully indeed in
the matter of giving out informa
tion. The whole plan of action
has not been settled on yet, so I
would prefer stating only in a gen
eral way what has been accom
plished and what is in contempla
tion. "I do not mind saying that a
part of the money to carry on the
work has already been secured.
Just what the amount is I would
prefer not to say. This capital is
from the Mainland, and I am of
the opinion that the remainder of
the money for carrying on the
work will also come from sources
outside of the Islands. I do not
think that there will be any local
capital.
"I am going to the Coast on the
steamer of October 15 and will then
attend to financial matters in con
nection with the railroad. My trip
to Honolulu was also in the inter
ests of the railroad. '
"I do not mind saying that the
Hilo-Kohala Railroad is a go and
that, as soon as possible, work will
be started on the first section, cov
ering a distance of fifteen miles and
running out of Hilo. Just when
this will be started I cannot say
just now.
"The stock ot the company is
not yet in condition to be placed on
the market and until this and other
matters in connection with the
proposition have been settled, I do
not feel justified in giving out very
much specific information."
The franchise to the promoters of
the Hilo-Kohala Railway Company
was granted about the middle of
1898 to H. B. Gehr, Jaudon Brown,
G. K. Wilder, John S. Walker and
J. W. Jones, W. O. Smith acting
as attorney for the people applying
for the concession, or franchise.
After the franchise had been se
cured, surveys were made by a
party of engineers, of which John
Cargill, formerly of the Pennsyl
vania system of the United States,
was chief. The work started at
Waiakea, near Hilo, went across
through Hilo and thence to' Malm
kona, a distance of ninety miles.
Four different lines of survey were
run in order to secure the bestpos
sible location, the work costiug in
the neighborhood of 30,000.
Finally, the best location was se
lected and location and profile maps
of the route surveyed were sub
mitted to the Government. How
ever, -no action was takeu by the
Government until June of 1901,
when a portion of the plans sub
mitted were approved. Another
portion was approved this year, and
now there is left just one mile of
the proposed railway site to be ap
proved of. It would seem, from
instructions to place him under
arrest. This Wright is under
bonds and the Territory will conse
quently not lose by the shortage.
The report of the defalcation was
first brought to Treasurer Cooper
yesterday by E. E. Conant, Asses
sor of the Island of Kauai.
The shortage in Deputy Asses
sor Wright's accounts was known
to Treasurer Wright some mouths
ago and the latter promised Asses
sor Conant that it would be made
good. It has been prcsistently
rumored since the flight of the
Treasurer that the money taken by
him was not used for his personal
benefit, but help others out of
truble. As far as this case is con
cerned however, the treasurer did
not seek to make it good.
Treasury Wright's attention was
called to his brother's defalcation
upon his visit to Kauai some
months ago, and after an investiga
tion, Walter A. Wright was sus
pended as deputy assessor for Wai
mea district, and the treasurer
agreed to see that the shortage was
made up. This was not done and
when the treasurer's sudden flight
from Honolulu became known in
Lihue, Mr. Conant immediately
came to Honolulu to inform the
authorities of the occurence.
Secretary Cooper said yesterday
that the Territory would not lose
anything by this most recent de
falcation, as Wright was under
bonds, and recovery could be had
from the bondsmen. Criminal pro
ceedings are also to be instituted
charging Wright with embezzle
ment and an officer was sent over
on the Kauai yesterday to arrest
him. The shortage in this instance
amounting to $2,848.40 is said to
have occurred in the failure of
Wright to turn over to the asses
sor the collections made by him in
the Waimea district.

Port of Spain (Island of Trini
dad), Sept. 24. A leading German
merchant who recently escaped
from Ciudad Bolivar, arrived here
yesterday and made a statement un
der oath before the officials here
setting forth that on August 20th
the Venezuelan war ship Restaura-
dor, when steaming up the Orinoco
river for the second time in order
to again bombard Ciudad Bolivar,
hoisted the American flag in order
to be able to reach that city with
out arousing the suspicions of the
inhabitants of that city as to her
identity, and that by this strategy
the Restaurador reached the custom-house
at Ciudad Bolivar and
immediately opened fire on the cen
ter of the city, causing loss of life
and damage to property in the
quarters inhabited by foreigners.
The merchant also stated that the
foreign Consuls and all the popula
tion of Ciudad Bolivar protested
against the action of the Restaura
dor. Washington, Sept. 24. The sin
gular circumstances reported by the
German merchant iu the above
cablegram was explained by the
reception of two cablegrams from
United States Minister Bowen, at
Caracas, at the State Department
this afternoon. The first dispatch
stated that the Venezuelan gun
boat Restaurador had approached
Ciudad Bolivar flying the American
flag. She did not lower the flag
until she was very close to the
inquiry iu reliable places, that this shore, when she opened fire upon
approval will be forthcoming very 1 the insurgents from her position
soon.
The present temporary officers,
constituting also the board of direc
tors, are as follows: H. B. Gehr,
J. F. Brown, W. George Ashley, J.
S. Walker, J. W. Jones, A. M.
Brown and II. A. Wilder. W. O.
Smith is the attorney for the cor
poration. Evening Bulletin.
there, creating great consternation.
When the Restaurador returned to
La Guayra the fact was reported to
Minister Bowen, who indignantly
demanded a complete apology from
the Venezuelan Government and
also that the flag of the United
States be saluted by the offending
ship.
