Two rooms away from him was a

Blair had made careful preparations

there would be no doubt about the re
suit. Blair withdrew the stocking from

They are the result Of the warm eli
mate IN which the cane grows. and are
not produced by the suCsr-yielding

reason the wine from the vines OF Bor-

Paris.
The writer Of one OF these letters,

REALISTIC DRILL.
Troops from Marion and Cruiser
Philadelphia Ashore.


One Of the finest displays of naval
forces ashore for many months was
seen at Makiki play grounds yester-
day. when the troops from the United
States warships Philadelphia and Mar
ion gave an exhibition of Captain
Coehrane's physical drill.
The men moved in perfect unison.
keeping splendid time with the music
by the fagship's band, popular airs be-
ing played. The exercise is rather VIC
lent for a warm climate, but the sight
is interesting TO the spectators. While
the men were drilling, the hospital
corps was camped in the shade of q
tree on the mauka corner. In order
that the people in the neighborhood
would understand the services these
men could perform, as well as to show
how realistic q drill could be made, d
marine named LatoTis stepped several
times on the heels of another marine
named KeIleher. The latter objected
without avail. and finally turned and
struck Latoris with his fist. So far,
there was nothing that would bring the
hospital corps into service. But La
toris was equal TO the emergency. He
raised his Springfield and struck KEEL
leher over the head.
The wounded man was promptly TAX
en- in charge by the sergeant OF the
ambulance corps, and his wounds
dressed. Latoris was placed under ar
rest and removed TO the Marion and
locked up in the brig"
Both men shipped at Mare Island
about q year ago, and were sent to
La Libertad on the Bennington. There
they were transferred TO the Marion.
Lauoris will be tried by general court
martial and if convicted stands a
chance Of getting two years impris-
onment.
