ETNA FIRE INSURANCE CO. OV HARTFORD, CONN ill PI IIMIM OF III Arrangement)! for the flag raising are pretty well advanced at the Executive building. The platform for the oillcials has been completed and it only remains to decorate It with flags and bunting. This platform is built out on a level with the first landing of the steps lending to the main en trance of the iiniiiiing, covering most of the first flight of steps and extend ing outwards about twenty feet. It is forty feet in length at tile front.

There will Do, seven rows 01 seats on cither side, with nine chairs in a row, and in the rear two rows of seats on either side, with twelve chairs in all. These seats are for officials. In the rear of this platform and on either side of the steps on the grass plots nre driven couple of stakes, to which halyards will be attached. On the right of the steps will be sta tioned a color sergeant and squad of tlie National Guard of Hawaii, in charge of the Hawaiian flag, and on the other side a eolor sergeant and detail of the U. S.

S. Philadelphia in charge of the American colors. On the outer sides of these nag de tails on the grass plots on both sides of the steps will be placed tables for the press. The position is some ten feet below the platform and thirty feet in the rear of the speakers. From this position it will be difficult for the newspaper representatives to either see or near.

On each of the balconies will be placed all the chairs that can be put on them, about 300. On the right and left of the platform and fronting the grass plots have been placed rows of benches, which will be railed in. These seats and those on the balco-are reserved, but at 10 o'clock this morning they were nearly all taken, though scarcely half a dozen personal applications were made the hour pre vious. Nothing has yet been done towards decorating the ball room. Mrs.

Afong was asked by the President to take charge of the work. It is un derstood that she and her daughters, with other volunteers, will commence decorating this afternoon. Hie electric lighting has been giv en to the direction of Major Potter. lorce of men from the Electric Light Works were attaching the globes to the wires this morning, and everything is expected to be ready for a trial tonight. An immense red, white and nine shield over the main entrance will be a prominent feature.

As at present arranged this will be the disposition of the troops: The United States forces will occupy the main avenue fronting the stand while the rsational Guard will be given the space on either side of the stand. The Citizens' Guard, Sharpshooters' Grand Army and kindred organiza tions will be assigned stations as near the stand as possible. Whatever space remains may be occupied by the general public without restriction of any kind. HILO HOSPITAL. The report of the Ililo hospital shows that in July there were five patients in tlio institution oh the 1st of the month, eight admitted during the month, eight discharged, three deaths and two left in the hospital at the end of the month.

Receipts for the month had been $101 and expenditures $132.08. Miss Wheelwright has been appointed as one of the nurses in place of Mrs. Howe, who goes to the Lihuo hospital. The Rev. W.

B. Costloy, of Stock-bridge, while attending to his pastoral duties at Ellenwood, that state, was attacked by cholera morbus.

PRELIMINARY" SURVEYS MADE. BEING EXERCISES WILL BE STRICTLY LETTER FROM A MEMBER OF THE OFFICIAL. FIRST EXPEDITION. Tlio Route From the Present Termi nus of the Road to the Tall is Being Studied. Later There May be Some Impromptu Speeches, but No Regular Program has Been Arranged.

Plans for the completion of the Oahu railroad around the Island arc being rapidly made. Preliminary sur veys are now being made and the linai survevs will follow. B. F. Dillingham has been personally over the ground at the head of a surveying party.

They started ten days ago nnd are expected back tonight. The party went over the Pall and starting at the foot of it began topographical survey and examination of the coast line through Koolau, Kn-huku, Wnialua, to Walanac. On this expedition only such surveys are being made as will give definite data regarding the character of the route, the engineering difficulties to be overcome and an approximate estimate of the coast of each section of the distance. The determination of the exact route as well as surveys from which detailed plans and specifications can be made, will be done later. The present purpose is to acquire such information to lay before the directors and shareholders as will enable them to act advisedly and with knowledge of the cost nnd time required for the work.

There was hardly standing room in Kerr's big store today. His clearance sale Is the cause of the rush. Goods are being sold at panic prices. The ceremony will be strictly oill- clal. The Annexation Club program has been declared oil and there will be no popular demonstration over the fiag raising, except such as may develop spontaneously after the ceremony is over.

Tills morning Admiral Miller sent. his reply to the Annexation Club's request to participate in the ceremonies and a meeting of the executive committee was called at noon when the Admiral's reply was read. It was of such a nature that the committee had no other recourse than to abandon their program, and after a discussion Instlug neaiiv an hour this was de cided on. There are no changes in the official program already published, but Immediately after the ceremonies proper are over the Hawaiian National Guard will be marched to the parade ground where the silk flag formerlv used by the V. S.

S. Boston's battalion will be presented to the regiment cither by President Dole in person or through Minister Cooper. Tills ceremony will take but a few minutes, and the men will then be marched back to the Ex ecutive building, whence they will escort tlie naval contingent back to the boats, marching behind tlie American flag just presented to them. From the boat landing Colonel l'isher will take his command back to the drill shed, where the men will be formed nto companies and the oatli of alle- giunce to the United States administered to them. They will then sign the new com pany rolls after which they will disperse.

It is likely that some impromptu speecli making will take place about this time, and very likely in the drill shed, but no program has been arranged in advance. Senators and representatives receiv ed official invitations to tlie flag rais ing this morning. Rev. G. L.

Pearson will officiate as chaplain at tlie ceremonies tomorrow. He has been ollicially invited to do so by the Hawaiian government through Mmister.Cooper.

Dc La Verirne has just re ceived 11 most interesting letter from Ralph H. Moulton of Company Sec ond Oregon volunteers, who went through here on tlie first Manila expedition. It is dated at finite, July and is written on blanks used by Spanish officers in making their re ports, aignutures of various olllcers ppear on these blanks, giving an ad ditional interest to the letter. The part of the communication descriptive of the trip, the landing and ot Cavitc is here given: We arrived here in Manila bay on July 30, and the following day com menced to land. company was next to the last and' it was dark before we touched land.

We were lan ded on the wharf at finite arsenal and mmediately took up our quarters In he buildings vacated by the bpanlsh ronps. The quarters are very old, built of brick and adobe, witli tile root ind flooring. There is plenty of light through windows, there is 110 glass, only grated bars, and where the windows are eased it is with small pieces of very thin shell, cut about 2y2 Inches square. We sleep on cots made after the fashion of a screen door nnd aced with rattan. They are very comfortable to sleep on, much nicer than anything I have struck since I uive been in service.

They are plac ed on stands which raise the cot about i foot from the floor. But to make this story more connected I hail bet- er start in at the lirst. We had cry nice trip from Honolulu out 10 the Ladrone Islands. We lay there for a couple of days, but we were not illowed on shore. The I hatieston shelled a fort there on the niorn- ng we arrived and tlie following day a party of marines and two companies ol our regiment made ready to go ashore They were towed part way In when a boat put out from shore with a flag of surrender.

The garrison siir- endered and was taken on board the Sydney, 30 men and 0 officers, 10S li es, half and half Itcmmgton, with nearly ten thousand rounds ot cartridges. 1 lie Kemington guns were used by a company of natives. They were disarmed and turned loose, much to their gratification. The fol- owitig morning we sailed for Manila, arriving in about seven days. The La- drones do not seem to be very much good as they are now.

If the place was in touch with the world they might be very wealthy. They have mail eomuliiuication every three months. We armed hero on the 33th day out from San Francisco, and may be you think we were not glad to lie on shore again. So far we have had no scrimmage. We are about ten or more miles from Manila in a line and further by the line of march we will take up.

Cavitc lays on a point of land which is quite wide here, but further toward the mainland it nar rows to a width of 100 feet. We can hold the position against any move the Spanish can make against us and will probably move on the town when the second expedition arrives. The city of Manila is completely surroun ded by the insurgents. The night we came ashore the Spaniards moved out from 5,000 strong, but were driven hack inside by tlie rebels with a loss of 700 killed and wounded There are about 3,000 prisoners here 11 the barracks guarded by the in surgents. They are a sorry looking set and are begging for cigarettes continually.

The Insurgent soldiers would make you laugh for a week; they are very small people and they handle 11 gun 111 great shape. 11 gun is nearly as tall as the man When Dewey seized the arsenal he allowed the natives to take all the property they could carry away, but the Spanish dumped lot of shells in tlio bay before they left. Their flight was very hurried however. The natives said the breakfast was left on the tables uneaten. One of our men conversed with a Spanish lieutenant the lieutenant said the Amerlcnns fought like demons; it was all over In three-quarters of an hour.

The Spanish ships are sunk all around tlie bay, and some of them are. burned There are four or five of them that remind 1110 of the wreck of the Maine That score was fully wiped out here, only in a different manner. The city presents, very pretty view from tlio bay, all the buildings look white and nice; on closer inspection the appear mice may not ue us satisiactory. wish you could see this place. It cov crs a vast amount of laud and some of the buildings must be very old.

There nre plenty of bronze ennnon and mortars, but all muzzle landing and consequently of little service. The bronze guns would be fine in park and I hope the American government will take a lot of them home. The mortars are finely moulded nnd inscribed. Some have "Ferdinand VI" on them. The prison and firing section are in plain view.
