THEY WERE AFTER SNIPES
PROBABLE OBJECT OF THE LATE
MANOA VALLEY RAID.
Soldiers Quick to Learn Short Cuts to
Places Where Illicit Liquor Selling
is Going On.

\ gentleman who is well posted on
the situation at Manoa valley, the
scene of the foraging raid made by
United States troops last Sunday,
says the wanton destruction of fruit
and vegetables was only side issue.
"What the men were really after" he
said, was okolehao and swipes, and
they have already learned that both
these drinks can be obtained either
i'm Manoa or Moiliili valleys. 1t is
really wonderful to see how quickly
the soldiers have learned all the short
cuts across lots to these places. The
police could find several Illicit stills
up there if they knew where to look"
In the experimental spirit of the
American some of Uncle Sans boys
seem to have taken very kindly TO
okolehao, a native spirit distilled
from the root of the ii plant; and
swipes, weak beer, made from pota-
toes. Judging from the story told
by one of the boys in blue some of the
swipes must be stronger than bear.
In describing his experiences to some
of his companions, he said: II went
up one of the valleys for long walk
and stopped at several houses of ma
tives. At one of them they asked me
to have some swipes. Not having tast-
ed it before and being very thirsty, I
took a big drink of it. | have no rec
objection of what occurred since, and
have not the slightest idea where
went afterwards, or what | did. or
how | got back to camp. 1t was great
stuff"
The police authorities are satisfied
that the soldiers were looking jur
something to drink rather than to ,dt
on Sunday, and have already started
in to break up the liquor business in
Manoa valley. Disguised as a colored
| soldier Deputy Marshal Chillingworth
visited several suspected places last
night, and finally found native by
the name of Nalei who sold him bot.
! tie of oliolehao, and told him how and
where it was made. The officer then
brought his man into town and he
will have to answer charges of distil
| ling and selling liquor without Ii.
cense.

STOLE HIS GROWN JEWELS.
The Sultan of Sulu Lost His Roya
Crown.

Honolulu is not the only place
where they steal crown jewels, as the
Sultan of Sulu has just found out. In
Singapore they steal whole crowns,
royal pearls and even royal treaties.
Fancy what a row there would have
been if the chap who is now serving
time for stealing the crown jewels of
Hawaii had also stolen the Reciprocity
treaty.
The Sulu Islands are to the south
ward of the Philippines. They cover
an area of over 1000 square miles and
have about 10000 inhabitants. The
Governor General of the Philippines
used to exact tribute from the Sultan
of the group, but that is done away
with for the present. Before the out
break of the war the Sultan, who is
Mohammedan, went on pilgrimage
to Mecca. On his way home he stop
ped at Singapore to his undoing. In
the early hours of the morning he
awoke to find that a thief was in his
room. He grasped the intruder. but
the latter broke away and escaped
through an open window An exam
ination showed that the thief had got
away with the royal crown, a large
pearl and twenty-three English sove-
reigns. The crown was n handsome
affair studded with diamonds. pearls
and precious stones. The thief also
stole a treaty which the Sultan had
entered into with the Government of
Saudakau, and his Majesty was al
most as much grieved over the loss of
the document as he was over the
theft of his jewels. The latter were
valued at about $4,000

Conditions Changed.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Dec 12-Major-
General Miles appeared to-day before the
House Committee on Military Affairs for
q hearing relative 20 the proposed re-
Organization and increase of the army.
Two bills for this purpose are pending,
one drawn by General Miles and intro

himself TO the general need of increasing
of the army without reference 10 either

tary establishment was inadequate 10

THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
The science of war had undergone a
complete change since the days of our
forefathers. General Miles said, and
now smokeless powder. long-range rifles
and machine guns Were the decisive ele-
ments with this changed condition. he
believed one soldier TO 1000 population
would give an army entirely adequate for
every need. it would give an army of g..
900 according TO the last census and about
IS 900 on the estimated population of to-
day. In addition 10 thls force the use
Of native troops would make an effective
body in the several colonies.
General Miles said we now have a
greater number of men abroad than any
other country, except perhaps Great Brit
ain
III we are TO keep the Philippines and
have no more idea that We Will give up
Manila than we will give up Bunker
Hin or any other place immortalzed in
our history, then this native force will

enter upon this service
