THE NAVY ACQUIRES LAND
BIG IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED
FOR FUTURE.
Large Hospital With Twenty Acres of
Ground-Davies & Co. Warehouse Sc
cured-PrOclamatio

The most important land condemned
by the Navy Department in its recent
order is the lot occupied by Theo. H.
Davies & Company at the corner of
Richards and Halekauwila streets, and
the coal lot makai of the Hawaiian
Electric Company on Alakea street.
An agreement between Davies &
Company and the Department was
made some time ago. The Navy gets
the warehouse and will use it for store
room purposes. In exchange 1t gives
Davies & Company the coal lot men
toned and a cash consideration for i'm
prOVements. Davies & Company Will
erect upon their new lot an immense
warehouse three stories high. 1t will
be of brick and will contain twice the
room of the present one. The exchange
dates from the date of condemnation
but the transfer will hardly be made
for some time yet.
The lot for the Commandant's resi-
dence is at the corner of Prospect and
Magazine streets above DR.. Woods $.
and takes in the knoll back of the old
powder magazine. 1t contains a little
over $4,000 square feet Commander
Merry said this morning that he pur-
posed erecting a very fine house upon
the property at an early day for the use
of himself and officers, and command
ants who may later be stationed here.
lhefe is a nne view OF the harDOr from
this location.
The lot on the extension of Pensa-
cola street, near the loop in the Punch
bowl road in Kalawahine, contains
about twenty acres. 1t is on the edge
of the small valley, or decline, and is
about 200 feet above the sea. Upon it
will be erected a magnificent naval
hospital, where sailors of the United
States will be cared for as the soldiers
now are at Buena Vista. The institu-
tion has been much needed here for a
long time. Surgeons of the navy Sc
lected the site.
All of the land condemned is Hawai-
ian Government property including the
land occupied by the Davies warehouse.
although the mercantile firm had a long
lease of the lot.
Indications are that there will be
some busy times in the navy here as
soon as the condemnation proclamation
arrives from Washington

THE COLOR SERGEANT OF THE
FORTY SIXTH.
Remarkable Career of Wealthy Sol
der Who is Trying to Regain Honors
He Has Lost.

After having been a major and pay
master in the United States Army,
Robert James Wasson, a graduate of
West Point, and for years a friend of
Colonel Fred Grant as well as of Presi-
dent Mckinley and Colonel Schuyler,
commander of his regiment, is now the
color sergeant of the Forty sixth In
fantry, and on his way to Manila in
the hope of winning his way back to
military honor. He was cashiered from
the army fifteen years ago, when he was
paymaster with the rank of major, and
a few weeks ago he Joined the. Forty
sixth as a private, under Colonel Schuy-
ler who was one of his classmates at
West Point. After a few days his abili-
ty as a soldier was recognized and he
was made a sergeant and soon after
he left San Francisco he was made
color sergeant. Wasson is a wealthy
man, but has taken up a soldiers life
again at the bottom, to retrieve himself
for errors of the past.
Sergeant Wasson was an intimate
friend of President Grant, through the
| latter's son, Fred Grant, who is now
at Manila. 1t was President Grant who
promoted him to the high rank he at
tained, before disgrace came. Wasson
left West Point at the head of his class
and won high honors for his ability as
a soldier and civil engineer. 1t was
while he was paymaster in Texas that
| the fall came. He has paid back to the
Government the S25,0O0 he was short in
his accounts as paymaster, but the
army regulations give him no chance
whatever of getting a commission
! again. A man who leaves the army un-
der such circumstances can never be
a commissioned officer afterwards and
cannot even enlist without a special
permit from the Secretary of War.
which was granted to WassOn. Under
! the rules his old classmates who are
officers may not even associate with
him, beyond what is necessary in army
| business.
Sergeant Wasson is brave enough to
! face all that he has to face and perhaps
when he gets to the Philippines the
chance may come whereby he can force
his country to recognize his services, in
] spite of all contrary rules He is a
model soldier and has the respect of his
companions. The wrong he did has
been paid for and now the sergeant,
whose wealth is estimated at something
| like a hundred thousand dollars. is
serving his country for a few dollars a
month. For this there can be no mo-
tive but patriotism, say the army men
and the sergeant who was a major has
a well-wisher in his regiment.

ACQUTTAL IN UGLY CASE
CHINAMAN WHO SCALDED HIS
VISITOR.
Jury Finds a Thread of Self Defence
in Evidence-Marshal Case Postpon-
ed-Tramways Matter.

There was a jury decision this morn
ing that took the breath out of the pro-
scouting officer in the Circuit Court. 1t
was in the case of Lee Hing, charged
with assault and battery. BY vote of
nine to three a foreign jury declared the
man not guilty, and he was discharged.
This case was notable one in police
circles. An old Chinaman entered the
premises of defendant sort of restau-
rant and the defendant threw a pot of
boiling soap upon him. The right arm
was blistered almost beyond recogni-
ton, and for several days the man had
a close shave for his life. Pictures of
the scald formed a horrifying exhibit
in the court. The opinion of the jury
seemed to be that the injured man in
vaded the premises of the other and
that defendant was justified in scalding
him.
The w. H. Marshall libel case has
gone over to the February term. Judge
Stanley this morning granted the mo-
ton to that effect. An amended bill
has been filed by the prosecution in this
matter and has been allowed. There is
no material change save in the wording
of some of the sentences.
Argument in the Southwick- Hawai-
ian Tramways- case was finished this
morning. Judge Perry reserved his de-
cision Mr.. McClanahan, for the plain
tiff, was the last speaker on the floor.

NNAUHS FIRST YEAR MAJOR IN THE RANKS SNAPSHOTS G THE NUE
REPORTS PRESENTED AT THE
ANNUAL MEETING.
All the Officers are Re- -Elected-Man-
ager Goodale Reports in Detail-No
Trouble With Labor Problem.

The annual meeting of the Waialua
Agricultural Company was held this
morning at the Chamber of Commerce.
The following officers for the year were
reelected: President, ]. b. Atherton;
vice. president, c. M. Cooke; secretary
e. ID. Tenney; treasurer, WA. Bowen;
auditor, Henry Waterhouse.
The reports of the officers for the
year ending September 80, were presen-
ted and adopted.
The treasurer's report shows receipts
for the year 81, Az, ,304. &c of which $903,-
200 was on account of stock assess
ments and 1925, S54. 81 was advanced by
the agents. Cash on hand is $2,S92. 80.
The largest item of expenditures is for
permanet improvements $15S 462. .63. The
crop this year was 13,43 tons of cane
sold to Kahuku plantation for $6 a ton,
besides cane used for planting.
Manager Goodale reports that the
crop of 1900 will be 500 acres of plant
cane and 100 acres of ratoons, and es-
Inmates the output at 5000 tons of su-
gar. The crop of 1901 owing to delays
in getting some of the pumping plant
here will not be quite as large as was
expected There will be 1850 acres of
plant cane and 300 acres of ratoons.
The crop of 1902 will be 2000 acres of
plant cane and 800 acres of ratoons.
The permanent improvements. pump
ing plants, railroads and that sort of
thing, are explained in detail on the
labor subject Mr.. Goodale says:
Ever since the first of the year, there
has been an abundant supply of labor
and we have had no labor troubles OF
any consequence. The lands, as soon as
planted, are being turned over to com
panies of men for cultivation. under the
same system as has been adopted al
Eva. Oahu and other plantations or
this Island. There is no question about
the wisdom of following this system
as far as possible. Ten contracts are
now in force.
A very large proportion of our labor.
ers are Japanese. We have a few Ha.
waiians, and the number of Portuguese
| is increasing"

ALGERNON SHAW MISSING
SUDDENLY AND .MYSTERIOUSLY
DISAPPEARED.
No Trace of Him Can be Found-His
Mother Almost Distracted-Last Seen
July /.

An agonized mother in New Jersey
would like to know the whereabouts OF
Algernon Shaw. In her letters of in
quiry to people here she says she is So
nearly distracted by the suspense of his
long silence and mysterious disappear
anCe that 1t would almost be a relief
10 know that he is dead so torturing is
the uncertainty.
Shaws disappearance is one of the
strangest things that ever happened in
Honolulu. He dropped out of sight
completely and instantly without leav-
ing any clue to his going.
Shaw was an artist of much ability.
He had been educated in the best art
schools of Paris and for two or three
years was private secretary to sara,
Bernhardt, the tragedienne. After
wards he became an illustrator for ma
gazines and newspapers and was en-
ployed on the New York Tribune and
other Eastern papers. Thence he drifted
south and west and worked on New Or
leans and Los Angeles papers, finally
reaching San Francisco. Here he work.
ed on the Call for awhile but falling
upon rocky times" he was given a po-
sition in the stewards department on
the Australia by Joseph Seeley, and
made several trips in that capacity on
that vessel Late in June he secured
position as artist on Austins Weekly
and resigned from the Australia. His
| first work was done for the Weekly in
connection with the opening of Hale
! iva at Waialua. He was one Of the
party of newspapermen entertained
there by Col. Iaukea. Thursday, June
29 He drew a number of sketches and
cartoons which We're to have appeared
/ in the next weeks issue of the Weekly.
/ The first or second day following this
| Mr.. Austin advanced him a part of his
! salary to tide him over Sunday and ar
ranged to meet him at the office on
[ Monday. Shaw left a large portfolio of
! sketches and drawings, a large part of
| the work of his life with Mr. Austin
| for temporary safe-keeping, but Mr..
Austin has never seen him since. SO
/ far as can be learned no one who knew
! him has seen him since Saturday, July
Il. He disappeared at that time and no
| trace of him has since been discovered.
| He disappeared as completely as If the
earth had opened and swallowed him
| up.
Since then Joseph Seeley of the Aus
| tralia and Frank II. Austin have each
received letters from his mother max
| ing anxious inquiries about him. But
no information about him can be OBJ
tanned There was a report that he was
employed on one of the plantations,
but this report could be traced to no
source.
He was a man of probably &c or 2S.
I and up to the time of his disappearance
had always written regularly to his
! mother.

WAGONLOADS OFBADBEEF
He TRANSPORT SYDNEY'S S
ODOROUS CARGO.
Tons of Purifying Meat Dumped Onto
Irmgard Wharf for the Fertilizer
Company.

Irmgard wharf was not very pleas
ant place to stay this morning, though
a lot of people remained there for some
time enjoying a concert by the 46th In
fantry band, from the City of sydney.
That vessel was discharging tons OF
bad beef. 1t had not been embalmed,
but many of those present wished that
it had The stuff was not properly
frozen before being put aboard, and it
spoiled on the way down. A lot was
thrown into the sea some days ago.
Several thousand pounds were dumped
onto the dock this morning, as a dona-
tion to the fertilizer company, which
hauled it away as fast as possible,
each wagonload leaving a wake of
scattering people.
The bad beef will be replaced here, a
quantity having been purchased by the
uuartermaster's department. 1t was
green in appearance as it lay in big
pile on the wharf, while the band play
ed cake-walks and other cheerful airs
Some of the soldiers had a pleasant
job removing it from the vessel. Clean
ing out the refrigerators and putting
the new beef in place will probably de-
lay the Sydney till Saturday.
The rations issued to the soldiers die
not include any of the unembalmed
beef, it is stated. Much of the meat
with which the transport left the city
is still good, and the men were fed witt
this, though beans and other vegetables
have played a larger part in the foot
supplies than they would have done II
the meat had all been good.
