NAPPENBACH.

Nappenbach is in Honolulu for a
months vacation. Nappenbach is one
of the best known newspaper artists
in America. But his friends think
that his paintings show higher or
der of merit even than his black and
white drawings for the newspapers.
and it is to do some work in color
that was one of his objects in coming
here.
He has been connected with the En-
aminer and journal for several years.
A little over two years ago he went
to Europe on an extended leave of
absence, and while there did work
which attracted a great deal of atten-
ton. On his return, he installed the
color work plant of the New York
Journal, and afterwards that of the
Examiner. He has had entire charge
of this department ever since.
He is thoroughly devoted to his art
and is charming and companionable
fellow besides.

PERSONNEL OF THE BATTALION
OF ENGINEERS.
Composed Largely of Men of Techni-
cal Education and Practical Expe-
rience in Great Works.

The battalion of volunteer engineers
now here, as a body of men, average
fully as high, if not higher, in edu-
cation, attainments and qualifications,
than any similar organization in the
world. In one company, Company L,
of the 30 men, 81 are graduates either
of colleges and universities or of
technical schools. Fourteen others,
though not graduates of higher edu-
cational institutions are thorough
electrical engineers, having received
both technical instruction and gained
practical experience. Eleven others
are telegraph operators who have had
all kinds of experience in managing
and mounting lines and circuits.
Many of the others have done practi-
cal work in the field as surveyors, and
in civil, mechanical and hydraulic en-
gineering work.
Captain T. VAIN Morgan Draper of
Company |, was until last December,
colonel of the First regiment Colora-
do National Guard, and so has had
much military experience. Lieutenant
Tice of this company had entire
charge of the immense and important
harbor improvement construction at
Duluth, MINI.
What is true of Company | is true
to a large extent of the other COM
panies of the battalion. Captain Rick
on of Company L, senior captain of
the battalion, has been for years in
the engineer department of the Unit
ed States army. He had engineering
charge of the Presidio at San Francis
co for a number of years, and it was
he who mounted the big guns there
which make such a formidable coast
defense at the entrance to the Gold
en- Gate.
Captain Freeman of Company NJ
had charge of the United States light
house district of Portland for num-
Der of years
In all the companies there is a large
proportion of college graduates. tech
nically educated men, and men who
have had practical experience in en-
%ineering work in its various bran
ches.

AN INTER ISLAND CABLE
ONE WILL BE CONSTRUCTED AT
ONCE.
War Department has Made All Plans
Engineer Corps Will Proceed with
the Work Immediately.

There is soon to be telegraphic COM
munication between the Islands of
this group. A cable connecting the
Islands with one another is to be laid
almost Immediately. One of the first
duties of the engineer corps that is
here now, the Third battalion of the
Second regiment United States vol
unteer engineers, will be the construc-
tion of this inter island cable system.
The general plans for it have al
ready been adopted by the War De-
partment, and the material if not act
ually contracted has been arranged
for. The complete data of surveys
and soundings for this work which
were made several years ago were
sent here in charge of the engineer Of
ficers and have been diligently stu
died. Only comparatively slight co..
lateral and supplementary surveys
are still required to be made. These
will be proceeded with as soon as can
be, and when completed the actual
work of construction will be begun
Such system of inter island com
munication has been strenuously ad-
vocated by Senator Morgan, and it IS
doubtless due largely to him that the
necessity and utility of it has been
impressed on the administration.
The fact that the governments ia-
tends to proceed at once with this
work is pretty conclusive that the
franchise for a cable from the coast
to Honolulu will not be delayed
This fact together with others makes
it possible to count on cable commu-
nication with the world within as rea-
sonably short a time as such a big
work can be accomplished.
1t is probably that the actual work
of constructing the inter island cable
will be in charge of First Lieutenant
f. Storer Tice, of Company I, of the
engineers now here. He had charge
of the construction of the immense
breakwater and harbor improvement
at Duluth, one of the greatest pieces
of harbor engineering in the world
He is thus fully equipped for this
work.

WE'LL EQUIPPED.

Samuel H. Comstock of Company l,
Second Regiment U. S. Volunteer En-
gineers, is the correspondent of the
Denver Republican. He has had a
wide newspaper experience especially
in connection with commercial and
technical journals. When the Boston
bondholders of the Santa Fe Railroad
sent a commission over the road to
examine into its physical condition
and the character of the country
through which it ran, Mr.. Comstocll
was sent with the commission by the
Boston Advertiser. In the west he
engaged in engineering enterprises
which led him to locate in Denver,
from where he entered the engineer
service in the volunteer army.

GUY Comfy,

1t is pleasant to see the name of
Guy Stuart Comfy appended to an ar
ticle upon Hawaii in the New York
Commercial Advertiser, because one
knows that he is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with what he is talking about. Mr..
Comfy is the son of the late General
Comfy, who was United States rep
resentative here in the later
days of Kalakaua. He received a part
of his education on these Islands, and
after passing through college entered
the journalistic profession and has
proved himself an able newspaper
man, as his father was before him.

CHARLES LUBBOCK WAS UNDER

Letters From One of the Honolulu
Boys Who Went to Manila-All are

Harry Lubbock has just received the
following letter from his brother
Charles Lubbock who enlisted here in
Company X, Tenth Pennsylvania U.
S. V. 1t is the first word that has
been received from any of the Homo
lulu boys who enlisted, and reports
them all in good health.
Since this letter was written the
Pennsylvania troops have been in ac-
ton and Lubbock with them. so that
Honolulu has had at least one repre-
sentative who has seen real war
abroad.
The first letter is dated at Sea,

and the weather is hotter than ever.
We are making about $50 miles each
day. We are not going direct to the
Philippines but to the Ladrone Is
lands to wait for the other transports
and all of us go on to Manila togeth-
En- Do not know if there will be any
scrapping at the Ladrone Islands;
rather think there will not be. We
will probably camp there until all the
army are ready for Manila.
We expect to arrive at the Ladrone
Islands in about fourteen days out
from Honolulu and will likely be there
for a month or two.
The second letter is dated Manila,
Sunday, July II. and is as follows:
eve arrived safely in Manila har-
Dor this morning, after a passage of
2l days, with good weather all the
way. The troops from the first trans
ports were landed and some are at
Cavite, others just outside of Manila.
From what we can learn we expect
to be landed shortly, and very likely
to start fighting at once. The rebels
have been fighting with the Spanish
often lately, and a battle is going on
today. The Spanish ships sunk by
Dewey's fleet are scattered about the
harbor. Quite a number of foreign
warships are also here. We learn
Spanish fleet of twelve ships and 10,-
600 soldiers are on the way here AMI
when they come | guess we will be
ready for them. The health of all the
Honolulu boys is good. Four deaths
from sickness occurred on the other
ships on the way here"
