SUGAR Trust AND HAWAI-

The Sugar Trust is on new Law to
secure Hawaiian annexation.
Knowing that the American people
so long as they knew this gigantic
monopoly desired the annexation Of
these half-savage and leprous islands
simply for its own selfish purposes
would never consent to it, the Trust
has instructed its organs and paid rep
resentatives in and out of Congress to
Systematically spread and work up the
brazen falsehood that the Trust. since
certain alleged changes in the proposed
treaty of annexation have been made,
is bitterly opposing the scheme
This may do to tel to the mariaes
when they are sound asleep, but let no
yellow journal or hired Congressional
agent of tha monopoly for a moment
imagine that the American people are
to be fooled by any such fairy-tale.

We are told now for the steenth
time that the Spanish commander Of
the gunboat Callao, which innocently
sailed into Admiral Deweys arms, was
not shot by the Spaniards, as was re-
ported, for not firing upon his captors.
1t was so contrary to the usual method
of Spanish procedure not to shoot
him or torture him to death that they
can't get over telling about it.

According to the report of Major
Smith, whom Gen. Miles sent to Ha-
vana, Blanco has 100000 men under

Naval Nomenclature.

An expert has called attention to the
popular mistakes in naval nomenclature.
AS our navy is now the object of world
wide admiration and the subject of dis
cussion in all manner of company, it is
we'll to be set right on certain technical
terms descriptive of its militant opera
tions.
When we speak of a fleet the experts
understand us to mean a company of
twelve or more battleships. A mosquito
fleet is composed Of twelve or more small
boats. A squadron is composed of less
than twelve battleships, and is often part
of fleet, such as the van, center or rear
squadron. A fotilla is composed of
twelve or more men.of war, some of
which may be battleships.
According to these definitions, the
United States have no fleet; neither has
Spain. Admiral Dewey commands a
squadron. The ships destroyed and cap
tured from MonteJo in Manila bay COM
posed a squadron. Admiral Sampson
commands a fotila. Admiral Camara
commands squadron.
Not until we expend great deal more
money for battleshiIs than is now being
put into that character of craft can we
properly claim to have fleet under the
most formidable concentration we could
make of our navy. In few years, how
ever, we will have enough battleships of
the frst.class to compose a heet.-St.
Louis Republic.

Andrews won for himself respect even

forth the opposition of the trustees OF
Brown university of which he was presi-

ANOTHER VERSION.
Sergeant Elmer johnson Tells of the Bit
terest Hour of All

terest Hour of All.
A letter was received yesterday from
Sergeant Johnson of Co. H regarding
the trip from San Francisco to Honolulu
The introductory part of his letter deals
with the start made on the 18th of June,
but as the details OF breaking camp and
the embarkation have appeared in form
er letters, only that portion dealing with
the trip is given. The letter is in part as
follows:
"The next morning early, fiat boat
came out loaded with cannon, gatling
guns and ammunition for US. The load
ing had to be done in this way as there
is law against loading explosives from
the docks. No sooner had this been done
than excursion boats began to come,
loaded until one would think they would
sink. They all came we'll supplied with
oranges and lively time was then seen
as they showered them on our boat.
They were welcome to the boys too.
At o'clock the signal was run up on
our boat, which is the flag ship, and we
led the way out of the harbor followed
by the other three vessels, the Colon,
Senator and Zealandia, and then boats
of every description, and it seemed as if
every whistle Tor fifty miles had been
turned loose. The shore and docks were
lined with people tor distance of fully
a mile. all waving flags, etc. The ex.
cursion boats turned and left "s at the
Golden Gate and we steamed out to sea.
1t was foggy and little rough and we
were out of sight of land in an hour
From that time on, for several days. the
boys began to lose what they had eaten,
and the bitterest part of the voyage was
at hand. will not attempt to describe
it, as you may all draw your own picture.
However, with few exceptions, we are
now all feeling pretty we'll again. The
third day out the Zealandis broke down
and we went to her aid, but it proved 10
be small injury as it was only the steam
steering gear that broke. They are now
steering her by hand. Excepting that
all has gone we'll.
This morning we steamed away from
the other vessels, and are going to 60 in.
to Honolulu away ahead OF them. They
are already out of sight. We expect to
arrive there on Wednesday, the 22nd.
Our ship, the China. is the flag ship. and
she is beauty, being 453 feet long. 43
feet wide, twin screw, triple expansion
engines, and having a speed Of 18 knots;
it has also nine water.tight compartment
and is, according to the sailors here. the
fastest on the Pacific. We have monnt-
ed two 5 inch cannons on the bow and
are otherwise prepared to do the best we
can on the water. She is an entirely
steel ship, though Of course not an iron
clad.
Expecting to mail this at Honolulu, l
will close. Hoping to hear som news
from there soon. l am as ever, yours.
