The whole Island community will be

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.

The First Manila Expedition 2,500 Men Are
Now in
This is What is
TRANSPORTS ARRIVE.
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

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

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."
