tilla- received the mighty salute of sew
eral thousand guns, and regained the
shelter of Portsmouth harbor, than the
breeze freshened, the clouds gathered,
and lightning played fantastically
among the masts and yards of the

wise did not give up hope that the
evening would prove fine, as befitted
an illumation that has never been
equalled, far less excelled By nine
o'clock the Prince of Wales was again
afloat, the Solent was alive with craft,
and the Southsea beaches thronged
with thousands of spectators gathered
to view the golden fleet of England,
every detail of every ship outlined with
myriads of electric lights. These
phantom ships were triumph of the
electricians art and science, as they
stretched across the SOlent, twenty
five miles of isles of light Some idea
of the brilliance of the scene may be
CLEANED from the bare fact that about
$4,000 16 candle-power electric lamps
were employed in this magnificent dis
play; but only the delicate imagery of
the poet could convey any adequate i'm
preston of this gigantic fleet illumi-
mated from end to end of the five
long lines, every feature pencilled in
flashing electric beams, even up to the
flags of the five Admirals, which were
portrayed in brilliant red and gold. 1t
was a scene of dazzling brilliance that
will never be forgotten by the thou
sands who were privileged to view the
crowning climax to spectacle that
dwarfed all language.

.I65 fine WARSHIPS
Command Of Gentleman Now in
Honolulu.
SEA LINE OF twenty-five MILES
Sir NOVEL; Salmon, v. c., X. c, e
One Of the Most Famous
of Britishers.

Sir NOVEL; Salmon, " c., K C. B.,
is easily ranked with the most distin-
guished of Britishers ever in Hawaii
He is not giant physically, is living
very quietly in Honolulu for a short
time. The great naval chief has re-
ceived attention from Minister Damon,
British Consul Walker, Admiral Miller
U. S. NJ, and few other prominent
residents. There has been no public
demonstration or reception in honor of
man Of worldwide fame.
Of course Sir NOVEL; Salmon has
seen service. But the achievement for
which he is and perhaps will be best
known, was accomplished in time of
peace. He commanded the squadron
assembled at Spithead for the Diamond
Jubilee celebration. His admirers can
point to him and say "He was monarch
of the sea-" Since men used boats no
man ever had such a fleet under his
orders and supervision as has this mod
est gentleman now sojourning in the
Islands made known to the world by
the British sailor Captain Cook.
The world, said the London Sketch,
has witnessed many gorgeous naval
pageants, but never one to equal that
which was seen at Spithead. Graced by
brilliant sunshine and viewed by roy
atty, it was record gathering of Navy
vessels in year of records. Mobilised
at Spithead were one hundred and
sixty-five of the most modern and eff
cient vessels in the British Fleet, an
chored in five long lines measuring
over twenty-five miles. But the signi-
ficance of this great gathering lay in
the fact that it was effected without
weakening, even for few weeks, the
eight foreign squadrons that guard
British territory and interests aboard.
While these ships were being viewed
by the Prince and Princess OF Wales,
the Colonial Premiers and troops, the
interests of Greater Britain in far-off
seas were being protected by huge

squadrons unequalled by another pow
er. The fleet in Mediterranean waters
has never been stronger, six of the ten
battleships, besides thirty-two cruisers
and other vessels, being less than ten
years old-launched, in fact, since the
Jubilee celebrations in 1887; thirteen
of the ships of the China Squadron are
Of the same age approximately. In
North American waters there are
twelve vessels. Off the Cape of Good
Hope Rear-Admiral Sir Harry Rawson
commands nineteen vessels, while there
are larger fleets than ever before in
the Pacific, in Australasian waters, Off
the SOUTHEAST coast of America, and
in the East Indies-more than half OF
them vessels less than ten years old,
efficiently armoured, and most of them
armed with the most devilishly power
full guns that the ingenuity of man has
invented. When all these vessels, fully
manned, were remembered, something
of the significance of the great fleet
off Portsmouth could be understood. II

state of affairs between Watson and
the Japanese and natives under him,
was learned from Watson himself at
police headquarters yesterday morn
ing. He called on Deputy Marshal
Hitchcock and said that he had been
informed by some one at the Pail that
twentyeight Japanese laborers in his
employ had been waiting for three
days at the head of the Pail for the
purpose of killing him.
The trouble, he stated, was over
money matters. He owed them about
SIS and they owed him somewhat
over that amount for provisions. Pre-
vious to his trip to town men had de-
manded their money of him and he
had refused to give over a cent until
they had paid what they owed him.
Watson wished to inform police
headquarters of the state of affairs SO
that, in case of trouble, they would
know what it was about He said
that it was his intention to start for
the Pali at 80 o'clock. In case the
police department saw fit to send an
officer with him, it would be all right.
If not he wished it understood that he
was going anyway and that in case of
a threatening attitude on the part of
the Japanese laborers, some one would
get hurt.
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock decided to
send mounted patrolman along with
Watson so that the law would be on
hand.
The start for the Pail was made
later than first decided on by Watson.
The arrival at the Pail and the events
| that occurred after are best told by an
| eye witness.
1--WE knew that the Japanese were
on the lookout for Watson, and we

Neither one found him so they decide
to await his arrival and force him
