New York Paper Says They Mis-
behaved in Honolulu.
LETTER COMES FROM a FATHER
Resents an Attack on the Tenth
PennsyIvania-NO Truth in Com
ment on Soldiers.

The New York Times, one of the
prominent newspapers of the metrop-
oils of the United States, has declared
war on the young men of America who
volunteered into the military service
of their country for the war with
Spain. Under the heading volunteers
and Regulars" is says:
The same story comes from every
place to which the United States troops
have been sent. 1t is that the regulars,
even when off duty and left to their
own devices, conduct themselves with
self-respect and decorum. The voIun-
teers, when left to their own devices,
conduct themselves like hoodlums.
The latest of these stories comes
from Honolulu, where two successive
debarkatiOns of volunteers have been
followed by a detachment of regulars.
The volunteers had been received with
effusive hospitality and banquets pre-
pared for them. This hospitality they
repaid, especially the second expedi-
ton, by disorderly conduct. They pro-
ceeded, as at Tampa, at Chickamauga,
as at Washington, to disgrace the uni
form they wore, their States and their
country. The result is that they wore
out the welcome of American soldiers.
When the regulars arrived the dis
gusted people of Honolulu made no
demonstration in their behalf. The
regulars, however, are reported to have
behaved, as they might have been ex-
pected to do, with perfect propriety."

Washington, August .. 1895

w 8SIlltS ton, august =. 1873.
Dear Sir:-Dr. Salmon has referred to
this office your letter of July 49, in refer
ence to the horn fly. The specimens came
in fairly good condition, and show that
the genuine horn fly, Haematobia serrata,
has reached your Islands.
Your conditions are such, I can read
lily see, that the fly will be very difficult
to treat. In this country we have prac-
cattle ranches where the cattle run wild :;
still, on most ranges of this kind there
are certain spots where the cattle con-
gregate for shade in the heat of the day
and here the manure appears in great
quantity and is so concentrated that it
can readily be treated with lime by
spreading ii with a shovel. Such work
is only palliative but Will pay when the
iiieS are present in great numbers.
1T has been our experience in this
country that after two or three seasons
of exceptional abundance, the flies be-
come reduced in numbers, and 1 trust
that you will have the same experience
in Hawaii. We have attributed this eff
feet to the fact that predatory and par
asitic insects inhabiting the manure and
feeding upon the larvae of dptera which
breed in such places, such as the green
bottle fly Lucilia caesaD, gradually be-
comes accustomed to the horn fly larvae,
become gradually very much more num-
erOus than they were before the advent
of the horn fly.
wishing you success, and hoping to
hear from you further, 1 am, Yours
very truly.

yesterday a clear and earnest letter TO
Mr.. Wall
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-08-23

Just what motive the New York
Times has in going on record as it
does, cannot be cOnjectured with any
degree of precision from this distance.
The Times gives the first intimatiOn
that there was any misconduct on the
part of either the volunteers or regu-
lars that have visited this place en-
route to Manila. The unanimous YER
dict here was that all the men hOnOred
the uniform they wore and were a
credit to their country. Mr. Wall is
right in that the Times is wrong in
giving the composition of the various
expeditions Neither the volunteers
nor the regulars calling here wore
out the welcome" There was no mis-
conduct whatever on the part Of the
men. The Advertiser feels justified in
declaring that every citizen of Homo
lulu will testify that the Times does
not speak truthfully.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-08-23

The clipping from the Times was
sent to Rev. 7. D. Garvin, of this city,
by his old friend J. Sutton Wall, of the
department Of Internal Affairs for the
State of Pennsylvania. In the course
of the note with the enclosure Mr.. Wall
says:
The second expedition contained
the regiment Tenth Pennsylvania vol
unteers, which was so elegantly and
kindly received and entertained in your
city
The article attempts to convey a
false idea of the composition of both
the first and second expeditiOns-that
they were composed entirely Of vOlun-
teers, while the truth is that they con-
tanned both regulars and volunteers.
The second expedition contained large
portions of two regiments of regulars
Eighteenth and Twenty-third Infan-
try, Nebraska and Colorado volunteers,
Tenth Pennsylvania and Utah artil-
Iery.
should the statement made in the
article be false, which 1 think it is,
shall be pleased to have you make
proper contradiction and correction
through the public journals of your
city Also if you would prepare
statement embodying your knowledge
and views of the matter, with the sig
natures of yourself and other citizens
who are in a position to know the
facts, I would gladly have it published
by our papers here. I am personally
acquainted with the officers and many
of the privates in the Tenth Pennsyl-
vania and feel that the article does
them gross injustice and is a malicious
slander. While I have personal inter
est in the matter (twO sOns) 1 would
not excuse or cOndOne any misconduct
of our soldiers, either volunteers or
regulars nor would I wish it to be done
by others. With feelings of gratitude
to yourself and the good people OF
vOur CITY. l am sincerely yours"
