Kona reports new outbreak .rom the summit of Mauna Loa with the lava flowing- toward kona. No definite information has been received. hi Tlie above despatch was received last night by the Advertiser and contains the latest news of the eruption of Mauna Loa. The fact that there has been an outbreak at tho summit of the mountain is remarkable. , Ordinarily lava does not issue from the summit crater and flow down tho side of Mauna Loa. In lS3i tlieio was a short flow which began about n thousand feet below the highest elevation. At another time there wns an outbreak about one hundred and fifty feet from the crater but tho flow was of very short duration. George Lyeurgus received tho following message from his brother last night which indicates that "there is something doing" at Kilauca: HILO, January 14. Kilauca doing good work. a fine sight, whenever clear. According to reports tho lava Is flowing faster. OTHER MESSAGES. According to other reports received from Hilo by wireless yesterday, the eruption of Mauna Loa is assuming heroic dimensions: One message stated that tho flow has reached tho sea after a flow of about 30 miles. Tho stream of lava reached and destroyed a part of the government road on tho Kona side of tho flow of 1887. It is further reported that tho telephone lines have, suffered and that traffic is stopped. A part of tho Kahuku pasturo lands has sufferer" The flow Is advancing at a rate of about 7 miles an licur. The steamer Mauna Loa Is reported as anchored atPucaluu. W. W. Thayer received the following from Carl Smith of Hilo yesterday morning: Great flow. Conio imn.edlatcly. John II.

One Is hotween Napuuopele and South Point. All flows aro on tho Kona side.

There was a question about separate schools for Japanese discussed at some length at the Board of Education meet-Ins yesterday. It wns not a proposition, like thnt of the San Francisco school authorities which has made a noise around the world, to segregate Japanese with other Asiatic children in public schools especially established for them. Beginning with conversation about the lack of school accommodation nt Wnlpahu and elsewhere, the members drifted Into remarks on the private schools for Japanese, with tl tlon In their own language exclusively which have been started here. All at once the subject broadened Into n question regarding all private schools which In tho end the meeting was not prepared to settle offhand, but decided to consult tho Attorney General about Its legal aspects. Mr, Dodge started It with a query which elicited a statement of the law regarding private schools, and then Mrs. Dowsett Insisted to the end of the debate that the law should bo carried out. THE LAW IN QUESTION. To make the matter clear the sections of the law In question are here copied from the Revised Laws: "Sec. 209. Any person desiring to es tablish a private school shall make an application In writing to that effect to the school agent of the district In which It Is desired to establish such school, which application shall bo accompanied by a memorial from tho parents or guardians of the children Intending to attend suchschool, stating that the applicant Is the person of their choice for a teacher of their children. If the applicant possesses the necessary qualifications to become a teacher of the school proposed, the department shall Issue a permit authorizing Hie establishment or such school. "See. 210. Every private school shall bo subject to the supervision of the department. It shall be tho duty of tho department to require that teachers of private schools bo persons of good moral character; and that the premises of such schools comply with the rules and regulations of the department, as from time to time ft TO HUE OP Pushers for Panpacific Conference Not Discouraged. "The cablegram from 1'. M. Hatch to the Governor, announcing that Secretary Moot pronounces the I'nnpacilic Consular conference not practicable, does not necessarily put the matter finally out of discussion," said A. Hartley yesterday. Mr. Gartley is tho member of tho Promotion Committee who first brought up the matter of a Pan-pacific conference in that body and who first persuaded his colleagues on the committee that the matter was practicable. "Mr. Hatch doubtless called upon Secii'tnry lioot iu compliance with the request of tho Governor, but it is possible that he had not the data to present which lie will shortly hno and it is also possible that Secretary lioot has not gone into the mntter. The scheme of a consular conferencc'is so now and novel that most aro at first glance apt to declare it impracticable," continued Mr. Gartley. "Many hero did so. "When the matter was first broached we wec asked, MVhrt could they do if they did hold a conference?' but after tho matter had been thought over a littlo and gono into, many of those who doubted the practicability uf the scheme at first arc enthusiastic about ifnow; "The national meeting of representatives of the different Chnmbcrs of Commerce will he held this week iu Washington and this matter will como up there. Both the Honolulu Chamber of Commcrco and Merchants' Association will bo represented and it is most probable that tho proposed conference will be debated. At tho very least wc will get a lot of publicity from the nITair. "I do not consider Secretary Hoot's opinion as final. The Governor has written to tho President and wo have many other wires out ns well. I have not scon the Governor since ho received tho cnblcgram from Mr. Hatch." SECHETABY WOOD IN SIMILAH STRAIN. Secretary Wood, of tho Promotion Committee, expressed very much tho samo hope that further work at Washington would bring about a change of views. "It may bo thnt it is supposed that ac aro asking that all tho consuls leave rules, the curriculum of the school, or,tllcir roats a"a como here, which of jiiiiui..! ov.ww w - . ... f .
