Apollinaris “BHE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS.” ’ such color there was a red glare on the horizon as the sun went down and rose and ft is attributed here to volcanie dust from the St. Plerre disturbance. The phenomenon obkerved here was a deep red glow, which continued in the west long after the usual sunset glare should die out, and in the morning began before thgtrlsmg sun usually shows color in the east. Professor C. J. Lyons, who has for Mmany years been the Government Meteorologist here, says the phenomenon Is similar to that observed after the tre- mendous volcanic explosion at Krakatoa in 1883. At that time the atmospheric conditions of an unusual character were observed here five days after the great disaster occurred on_ the {sland of Java. The effects of the Martinique dfsaster, however, if such they are, are up -to this time not nearly as great as those follow- ing the Krakatoa eruption. SRR e MOUNT REDOUBT AT WORK. Eruptions Frighten Natives of the Cook Inlet Country. TACOMA, May 30.—Valdez advices state that the greatest volcanic eruption known on the Alaskan coast within historic times {s now In progress. Mount Re- doubt, toward the interfor from Cook Inlet, has been in eruption for several weeks. During the first week in flames were scen spouting out of crater for several nights in succession. Ashes fell in clouds. Valdez papers state that the snow is covered with ashes for miles in every direction and that Monta- ue and other islands in Prince Willlam ound were also covered with ashes. Loud rumblings and explosions in the mterior of Mount Redoubt are heard many times daily and earthquakes are numerous. Natives of the Cook Iplet country are so badly scared that someé of them have taken flight in boats or| on land to the further end of Kenai Pehin- sula. The few white people living within the ash-covered area are somewhat frightened, but none of them have I the country. Natives say that never within the history of man has that coun- try been so thoroughly shaken up. Sulphur angd Slight Tremors.

AMAZES HAWAI Rema.rkable Advance in Price Noted at the Islands. Conditions in the Leper Settlement Will Be Improved.. Special Correspondence of The Call. HONOLULU, May 24.—Interest in the price of meat has been aroused /in the Territory of Hawali, owing to the striking advance recently made on the mainland. For many years it has been customary for Honolulu to obtain a large part of its meat supply from the Pacific Coast, as meny- as 300 carcasses of beef and 1000 of sheep coming down in the refrigerating chambers of each regular steamer. At the present time hardiy any meat is ob- tained from the mainland. Supplies on_these islands have been gradually increasing and there is now sut- ficient stock on the hoof in sight to feed | tne total population for more than four | months to come. 1t is hoped that the sup- ply has not ceased, but that Hawali has at last become independent of the main- Jand for its principai staple food. Comparing the wholesale and retail prices of meat this year in Honolulu with u year ago, there has been an advance of & cent and a half per pound in the whole- sale price for dressed vbeef; of half a cent a pound for dressed mutton and of one cent.a pound for veal. Retail prices show an advance of two cents for sirloin steeks, of five cents for porterhouse and of two and a half cents for round steak. Mutton at retail is practically unchanged and the same may be said of veal, while Dcrk"has advanced two cents a pound at retail. » A familiar figure in Rotten row, the old bark Sebastian Bach, startled the water front folk this morning by going to Davy Jones’ locker.

PARIS, May 30.—It Is announced in a dispatch from Madrid that Senor Sabrino Arana, leader of the Biscayan Nationalist party, sent a long cable message to Presi-\ dent Roosevelt congratulating him on the establishment of a republican government in Cuba and. that the Spanish censor sup- pressed the message. It is further as- serted that the Spanish Government or- dered the prosecution of Senor Arana, ani that President Roosevelt has “instructed the United States legation at Madrid to agk for explanations.” WASHINGTON, May 30.—Official circles here are ignorant of the matters state: ia the Madrid dispatch to the Patrie. The President has not instructed our legation ! at Madrid to ask for explanations of the reported course of the Spanish Govern- ment toward Senor Arana, and, in fact, the administration is without any infor- mation concerning the alleged purpose of Senor Arana to-send a congratulatory tel- egram to the President and its frustra- tion by the Spanish Government. — e SCHEDULE WILL SAVE TIME FOR ?ASBENGEEB\ Railroad Makes Changes for Rapid Runs Between the Atlantic 5 and Denver.
