NEARLY SUNK THE CRUISERS.


German Naval Maneuvers Were
Unsatisfactory.
BERLIN, August 2S.-An unpleasant
surprise has been created by the naval
correspondents of the Kreuz Zeitung
and other Conservative newspapers, as
well as the correspondent of the
Deutsche Zeitung Rundeschau, report
ing the naval maneuvers near Dantzig
during the past fortnight. They de-
scribe the evolutions of the German
war vessels as having been total fail
ures, so far as quickness and maneu-
vering ability to resist torpedo attacks
are concerned.
On Tuesday last, off the port of Bella,
one ironclad division narrowly escaped
running aground while maneuvering
to escape torpedo-boats. The CORES
pondents, who were themselves naval
men, and who were on board the YES
sells engaged in the maneuvers, attri-
buted this lack of skill to the want OF
modern equipments in the German
ships. The Government will argue
from this that more cruisers are need
ed in the German fleet, and will urge
the necessity of forming division OF
cruisers.

The departure was hurried and peace
was kept"

GARDENER ARRIVES.
Comes to Raise Vegetables for
California Market.

Mr.. B. Clark of Pasadena was one of
the passengers from San Francisco on
the S. N. Castle yesterday morning. He
is a middle-aged man, who has made
a business of raising fruits and vege-
tables for the California market and
in this line has been very successful.
Mr.. Clark comes to Honolulu to look
for suitable land for the purpose of
raising vegetables to supply the San
Francisco market during the winter,
and, if successful, will start into the
business at once. 1t is his opinion that
he can make the industry pay, and,
after getting started may send for ex-
perienced gardeners from California.
He has been very favorably impressed
with stories told by people he has met
from here and also through the COL
umns of the press and feels confident
