H. DAVIES It News of His Siflflen Death Iii Enalanfl. ALL WILL BE DEEPLY CRIEVED Was Leading Citizen of Liberal and Philanthropic Instincts-Was Here,Many Years. The whole Island community will be greatly surprised and most deeply grieved to learn of the death of Theo. H. Davies. The merchant prince and philanthropist passed away very sud denly in England on May 25. Word THEO H. DAVIES. (Photo by Williams.) to this effect was received by P. C. Jones from R. P. Rithet. Mr. Davies is a native of England and came first to the Sandwich Isl ands in 1S57, and entered the employ of R. C. Janion in the mercantile es tablishment which now bears his (Mr. Davies') name. A few years later he went to Victoria, B. C, and Portland, Oregon, in the interest of his firm, which had also branch houses in those cities, and from there in 1SG5 to Eng land, where for two years he was connected with Mr. Janion's business in that country. In 1SG7, he came again to Honolulu, and became a part ner of Mr. Janion, the style of the firm being then changed to that of Theo. H. Davies. For the ensuing 14 or 15 years, with the exception of oc casional visits abroad, Mr. Davies re sided in Honolulu, after which he re turned to England, and devoted his personal attention to the conduct of the Liverpool business of Theo. H. Davies & Co., leaving the Honolulu establishment under the management of Mr. Thomas Rain Walker, who was made a partner in. 18S3, and Mr. F. M. Swanzy, who was admitted to partner ship: some time subsequently, both of whom had for many years previously been trusted associates. Mt. Davies has lived in his native country almost ever since. During nis residence m Honolulu, this gentleman by judicious investments in sugar plantations, by shrewd business management, and by straightforward, honorable methods, accumulated a large fortune, and did much to develop the industry which is now the country's main source of re venue. Mr. Davies was a man of charitable inclinations and philanthropic nature. He has always contributed generously to and devoted much personal effort in the cause of Christianity, and to the moral and social advancement of the human family. His name is a re spected one throughout the Hawaiian Islands. The business interests of Mr. Davies will go to his two sons. A GENERAL INVITATION. The millinery displayed at L. B. Kerr's Queen street store is a sight long to be remembered. Hats and bonnets are many and beautiful.

The town was set in a fever of ex citement wheny at a little after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the boys at Central office conveyed the message to thousands of anxious people in the city that there were three foreign steamers off Waimanalo. The mes sage had come. from the other side of the Island and it was impossible to tell at the time what the vessels were. Just three columns of smoke floating away to the southeast could be distin guished. It was not many minutes after this, the message came that the steamers could be seen by Diamond Head Charley and that they were the City of Peking, the Australia and an other steamer that could not be seen very distinctly. The fire whistle sounded immedi ately the signal of five whistles and in stantly flags all over the city went up and carriages and crowds of pede strains went hurrying along toward GEO W. SMITH. (Photo by Williams.) CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE OF 100. the different wharves. They had a long wait but they were not in the least fatigued for they were on the tip toe of expectancy and talked gaily. There has not been in many years such a commotion in this city as the news created. Even the pilot boat with the three pilots and a number of press men from town and from San Franci?co, started out about a half hour before it was really necessary. The newspaper men were armed with cameras and note books, two very dangerous instru ments. The pilot boat was forced to continue on the trip out past Diamond Head before the steamers came in sizht. Off in the distance toward the AIER Honolulu. Going to Manila. Island of Molokai could be seen tnree columns of smoke at equal distances. The vessels were approaching in line of battle and made a fine appearance. Soon the masts could be seen and the various steamers were recognized through the glasses. When they got quite close to Diamond Head, the City of Peking, which was closest to tho land, turned and crossed the bow of the City of Sydney, the middle boat At the same time the Australia, the outermost boat, turned toward the land and went up as if to meet the Peking. The City of Sydney changed her course toward the southward and soon both the Australia and Peking The City of Sydney changed her course toward the southward and soon both the Australia and Peking again turn ed toward port. The pilot boat was towed ahead by the launch of the Union Express Company and was soon alongside the City of Peking but that steamer was going at too high a rate of speed and passed the pilot boat. She then slowed up and backed so that the pilot and newspaper men were able to get aboard. There were of course a whole string of questions. Some of the California boys in the re giment aboard the ship, seeing the large American flag floating over the railroad wharf, thought that a steamer had arrived here before them and brought news of annexation. In a very short time the Peking was making full speed ahead toward Ho nolulu. Six companies of the Califor nia National Guard were sent below while the other six companies .were drawn up in the line on deck where it was impossible to accommodate any more men. ' In a little while the James Makee of the Inter-Island Company came bounding over the billows with flags and pennants flying. The Committee of 100, the band and officers of the National Guard of Hawaii, were aboard. As they approached quite close to the Peking cheer after cheer was given by the enthusiastic people aboard and "then the band struck up in a number of patriotic American airs. No one aboard the Peking was allowed to return the cheers as the 'soldiers boys were under strict dis cipline. This however did not dampen the ardor of the people aboard the Ma kee who shouted and waved their hats in the enthusiasm of their welcome. A short time afterwards the men were told by Colonel Smith that they could shout and cheer as much as they pleased. There was no need of re peating this. The boys threw up their hats and cheered as only Americans can. Then the band of the First Regi mpnt at the stern of the vessel played "Hawaii Ponoi" which brought out more cheers from the men on the Ma kee. The Peking was by this time coming up the channel while the other two boat- were hanging off to watch what the movements of the Peking were to be. When the first and fastest steamer of the three passed the lighthouse the I whistles of both the Charleston anu (Continued on Page 7). I ON EVE OF BATTLE Decisive Immil on Atlantic Eipectei Hourly. SPANIARDS ARE BOTTLED UP Dewey Has Things His Own Way In Manila Cuba-Very Encoura ging Annexation News. EVE OF BATTLE. WASHINGTON, May 21 This has been a day of exciting rumors. Sen sational reports of a battle in the Windward passage in which Admiral Sampson is said to have sunk tho en tire Spanish squadron have reached Washington from Madrid, from Lon don and from Port Au Prince by tho way of New York, but up to a late hour tonight no official confirmation of the engagement could be secured in any quarter, and Secretary Long, when seen just before midnight, re iterated the statement made in official bulletins posted just before the Navy Department closed to the effect that no information had been received indi cating "that an action had occurred in the Windward Passage." From this time forth until definite news is received the administration will be in almost momentary expecta tion of a report of a decisive battle, the issue of which is not doubted in official circles here. The American navy now has up wards of sixty ships in the Carribian Sea, and while as has been pointed out, Lord Nelson spent three months in chasing the enemy about the Me diterranean he had neither so many vessels nor were they capable of such high speed as the squadrons of Samp son and Schley. The American com manders have the additional advantage of cable communication, which enables the Board of Strategy to advise the senior admiral almost daily of the latest reports concerning the where abouts of the enemy. While it is conceded that the supe rior speed of Cervera's squadron would enable him to run from the American vessels, the impression is gaining strength that he does not intend to leave the Carribian Sea, and hence that sooner or later he will fall into Sampson's hands. FROM DEWEY. WASHINGTON, May 1. The Navy Department today received a telegram from Admiral Dewey reading as fol lows: "Manila, May 20, via Hongkong, May .21. Secretary of the Navy, Wash ington: Situation unchanged. Strict blockade continues. Great scarcity of provisions in Manila. Foreign subjects fear an outbreak of the Spanish sol diers, and they will be transferred to Cavite by the foreign men-of-war in the harbor. Aguinaldo, the rebel chief, who was brought here from Hongkong on the McCulIoch, is organ izing a force of native cavalry and mav render assistance that will be valuable. DEWEY."
