Show The steamer Miowera brought a report re-port from Honolulu that an attempt had been made to lire the magazine of the steamer Peking and blow up that ship with its precious load of human beings. We are inclined to believe the report to be a hoax, a cruel hoax indeed. The people should not be too ready to accept as truth every report in connection with the present war. Some of Utah's sons are now on the road to the front, and a readiness to bcl ieve everything that comes through the pre-s reports is likely to cause much unnecessary pain. Wait for confirmation. |
