TWO NAV|ES COMPARED
WHERE AMERICAN MECHANIC
COMES IN.
The Skill of the American and His
Education Help Him in Fight the
New Warships.

The advantage that the American
navy has over the Spanish navy is
very ably shown in the Engineering
to an article by Park Benjamin, who
claimed that the modern battleship
was an untried piece of mechanism.
The reply points out that United
States ships are manned by mechan-
les who understand how to run the
machinery. The Engineering News
says:
"The more complex the fight 'ng ma
chanism, the greater advantage the
American sailor should have. as COM
pared with the Spaniard. 1t is true
that many of SPANS ships have been
constructed by one of the best build
ers of warships in the world. and the
equipment and armament are all de-
signed upon the latest modern lines.
But the English builders hand these
ships over to the Spaniards to care
for-and to fight. And herein comes
the difference. The Spanish people
have little or no mechanical skill or
experience: they have never given TO
the world single invention worthy
of note. and they cannot even build or
repair intIl wv II ShlDS' vi 'lON
war material. except through the aid
of imported machinery and labor. In
their hands alone. all this complica-
ton of modern war material is liable
to rapid deteoriation, through sheer
ignorance and neglect: and in the
heat of battle Spanish officers and
men will be very likely to make blum
ders that may be fatal Personally,
the Biscayan sailor is doubtless brave,
but he is some centuries behind the
times: and if he were beaten in the
wooden monsters of Nelson's time.
he will be very apt to fail when han
dicapped by the necessary handling of
innumerable mechanical appliances
which he does not and cannot under
stand, as a Yankee machinist or sal
lor would understand them. The lat
ter has back of him all the traditions
of nation famed for its mechanical
skill and invention. and. in a modern
sea battle. it is the men behind the
guns. in the bowels of the ship, and
especially in the coming tower. that
will decide the result"

FORAGED FOR POI.
How Discomfort at the Settlement was
Allayed.

The scarcity of taro which has been
a source of trouble at the Mololai
settlement and of difficulty for the
Board of Health for some time finally
eliminated a short time ago in a sue
cessful coup d'etat on the part of SUI
perintendent Feary.
\ committee from the residents of
the settlement called on the superin-
tendent and made strong representa-
tons regarding the shortage of the
poi rations. In more informal way
threats of trouble were made. II is
said. if more poi were not furnished.
Under these circumstances Superin-
tendent Feary manned whale boat
and went foraging. In valley some
distance away he was able TO secure
a quantity by purchase. and the troub-
lie in the settlement was at an end.
His report of this action and pc
tition signed by about 200 in the
settlement asking that his violation
of the rules in leaving without per-
mission be pardoned, came in togeth-
er. The Board approved the action
and granted the petition at the same
time. But the superintendent was
told that this must not be taken as
warrant for unnecessary violations OF
rules.
The complaints of nuisances along
the Waikiki road were taken up, and
the following recommendations to be
enforced by the agents of the Board
were adopted: Fertilizers are to be
carried in closed containers: are to be
mixed at once with fresh earth: wa
ter in duck ponds must be changed
frequently and hog ranches are to
be kept in a clean condition.
The practice of throwing poi Stops
into the sea along the bathing beach
was also prohibited.
