onel. No written orders were ever is
sued. Col. Mclean instructed the
companies i'm it shortly after his ar
rival. Witness believed the Colonel
received his information of the drill
from Capt. Pratt's type written copy
of the tactics. Referred to it as u
sailor drill because it was distinctly
sailor drill. In speaking of the mat
ter never intended to reflect upon the
Colonel. Objected to the riot drill be-
cause it violated the fundamental prin-
ciples of infantry drill as laid down in
the tactics of 1893. (From this point |
witness explained at length the con-
ficting points between the two sys-
TENS of drill. The effect upon the |
men in returning to the regular drill
was confusing.
Colonel amended the drill as time
went on. At such periods it was nee,
essary to explain to the men that so
and so was according to the latest in
depreciation or order of the Colonel.
No sneer was meant, and witness
could not understand how his men
could have received such impression.
Frequently referred to interpretations
of the Army and Navy Journal and
other authorities in explaining minor
points of tactics.
THE MAN-O'-WAR.
The remark about turning the place
into a ship had been going on on the
grounds fora year. There was ships
bell, ships clock in the yard, and
the flag was raised and lowered as
done on a ship.
The matter of turning out in single
rank to receive visitors was an order
from the Colonel. Told the men did
not know how it could be done, but
would do the best possible
DID CURSE.
With respect to the storm on Mil
Ter street, witness said he did say &C
d-n it, guide right" The company
had become inverted and one of the
front rank men got mixed and guided
left. After ordering him several times
to guide right, witness became en-
ragged at the way things were going
and uttered the words charged.
THAT AUSTRIAN SIGHT.
With regard to the sight matter
witness remembered little. He recol-
lected Carlyle bringing it in and leav-
ing it on his table. Since his arrest he
had been thinking harder than any
man on the Hawaiian Islands what be-
came of the sight. He could fix it no.
where. Could not tell what became of
, it. (Aside-'I hope to be able to tell
you all about it some day.
Knew that Weatherby took a sight
| to the Colonel. The latter wanted it
for the purpose of studying the grad
uations. He said man had to have
scientific education to know how to
read the figures on the sight" Saw
the sight several times in the Colonel's
! Office. In May personally examined
every detail of every gun and all the
sights were in the guns. Missed one
on Tuesday, the day before the month
ly inspection. Reported to Col. Nc
, Lean. He accused witness of Seeing
double" Witness knew he had seen
the sight there before and constantly
maintained that position. Told Col.
l| so and also asked Weatherby to count
