ANsORANCE WORM
Prof. Koebele Wanted to
Fight Against It.
Came to Hawaii to Campaign in
Opposition to Beetles and Blight.
Foreign Guava Pest.

Professor koebele is busy at the
office of the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture these days finishing up his report
TO accompany the accounting of Mr..
Marsden for work of the valuable de-
partment during the past two years.
Professor Koebele, since he left Hawaii
has been fully occupied in his pro-
fession of searching for and furnish
ing enemies of fruit and tree and plant
pests. He made a trip TO Mexico to
look after the new orange worm and
found that it was doing fearful lot
of damage. California orchard own
ers are in terror for fear Of this pest
getting into their territory. So impor-
tant is the matter that the United
States Government has taken an inter
est in it. Just before Professor Koe-
belle sailed for Hawaii he received dis
patches from Washington asking him
to continue work and investigations
on the orange worm He was COM
PEELED TO leave the matter at the stage
he had reached and come on to fill his
engagement here. The egg from which
this orange worm grows or is pro-
duced is laid beneath or in the skin.
So soon as the worm becomes able it
bores directly to the center of the
fruit, running it completely. Hundreds
of cars of these diseased oranges have
been shipped to the East from various
Mexican states, but in the West the
strictest embargo has been placed
upon them and is being vigorously
enforced. 1t would be more than a
mans life was worth to bring any of
these orange worms into any part of
California
On this trip to the Islands, which
will be of several months duration,
Professor Koebele will make a couple
of tours of the group in the interest
of general agriculture. He will cam
paign against the army and cut worms
and blight generally. He is confident
that common blights and the japanese
beetle are well in hand and that in
roads can be made upon the two
worms. The army worm is very des-
tructive of food The cut worm pre-
fers cane and unless headed off can
do irreparable damage. In town here
Professor Koebele will have headquar-
ters at the Government nursery on
King street. He says that Mr. Mars
den's toads have done magnificent
work against the beetle and that a
fungus now being grown and effective
here in the past will do about all the
rest Professor Koebele has added
greatly to his bug cabinet" and talks
as entertainingly as ever upon blights
and noXiOus insects and their enemies.
He says that the Mexicans are having
trouble other than with the orange. A
blight or worm has gone after the gu
ava and the natives are now deprived
OF that favorite article of their food
supply. Professor Koebele mentioned
incidentally that while delicious jellies
were made from the guava here the
MeXicans were in advance of Island
people in utilizing the fruit to the ut
most The Mexicans produce from the
guava a delicious candy that sells
readily anywhere at an enormous price
as compared with ordinary candy
values.

Wine ATHLETES
No Such Thing as Cham.
payne Training.
Note From A. F. Judd. Jr. of Yale
Exceptional Cases-Ideas of Sue
cessfuI Coach and Trainer.

EDITOR P. C. Alt has come To my
notice that a certain article has been
published in a Honolulu newspaper,
saying that Coach Butterworth of the
Yale Football Team gave champagne
to the men of the football squad as a
regular training drink This yarn is
evidently given credence, and there
fore, / hasten to deny it. Such story
hurts football and especially the insti-
tuition with which the story is con-
nected.
Champagne was not served at the
Yale training table. After severe prac-
tice games, Mr.. Butterworth would
take the two or three men who were
fine" or too tired to relish their din
ner, down to Heublein's across the
Green and give them enough cham
payne and crackers to stimulate their
appetites for the regular dinner that
followed with the whole squad at $50
York street.
Mr.. Butterworth's methods are thor
oughly vindicated by the fact that
within a week the same eleven men
of the Yale team played the veteran
teams of both Harvard and Princeton,
while in both games, their opponents
put in five or six new men as substi-
tutes.

The Spaniard was half mile from
the Nashville, and she held her way,
making no sign of having given the
shot any attention.
For two minutes the Nashville held
her way in the chase and then tried
another shot that passed apparently
within rod of the Spaniard's bow
and clipped spray from the crest OF
the waves for a mile beyond. The
officer on the Spaniard's bridge al
once reversed her engines, while q
man ran aft and hastily lowered her
flag. At 7:15 the Nashville brought
to alongside the Spaniard, having
every gun, big and little, in the star-
board broadside pointed at her.
Then a whale boat was lowered and
Ensign Magruder, with boarding
crew of six men, was sent to take
charge of the prize. She was found
to be the Buena Ventura, plying be-
tween New York, Havana and West

HOW THE FLEET LEFT.
There Was No Blare of Trumpets
Nor Throb of Drums.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 22.--The New
York swung at anchor about seven
miles out, closely fianked by the big
battIeships Iowa and Indiana. In the
inner harbor were the monitors, gun
boats and torpedo boats.
Just after midnight there was q line
of fire just above where the New York
lay. 1t was Admiral sampson's sig
nal to move. The signal staff of the
Cincinnati, lying off Fort Taylor in
the inner harbor, flashed into colored
light. The Puritan and Helena Joined
the incandescene conversation, and
soon the skies were kaleidoscope, as
ship after ship answered.
When all was ready the flagship
swung round and came well into the
harbor, signaling to the other ships.
After receiving responses, she turned
and headed for the open sea, with the
Indiana close in her rear. The In
diana had been coaling at Dry Tortu-
gas, but was cabled for, and at mid
night she joined her two sister ships
at the anchorage held by them while
In the harbor.
OF the feet lying close to shore the
| Amphitrite was the leader. She lum-
bered along after the Machias, her i'm
immense guns stretching above her
low free-board. She was the first Of
the monitors to join the warlike pro-
cession. Then came the Nashville,
her three smokestacks distinguishing
her from the others, with the gunboat
Wilmington alongside the Castline.
The Cincinnati was delayed a little
time as she was taking coal from a
schooner off Fort Taylor when the
signal to sail was given, but she got
into line next. The Mayflower brought
up the rear, and was one of the last to
fade from view.
The torpedo boats did not start un-
til O'Clock, when most of the line
was under way, but they dsrted ahead
and were lost sight of in the forward
group.
The monitors Puritan and Terror lay
| side by side, coaling frem q large
barge, which was between their decks
crowded with officers and blue jack
ets, observing the naval pageant.
Following the floating forts was the
feet of newspaper dispatch boats,
numbering about twenty. Three ex-
pert Cuban pilots accompanied che
fleet.
