NAVY SHORT OF MEN.
Old Ships Will Have to Go Out of
Commission.

At the commencement of the war
with Spain there were 10,327 enlisted
men in the navy including the appren-
tees on board the training ships. On
August 10, 1898, the total number of
enlisted men on the rolls was 24,123,
which was the maximum strength. OF
this number 1910 were volunteers. en-
listed for one year, and 2,016 were APP
prentices. On March LIST last there
were 1860 men on the rolls of whom
a considerable number will be dis
charged within the next few months
because their terms of enlistment
have expired.
In the naval appropriation bill as it
passed the house 10000 sailors were
authorized. The senate reduced the
number to $4,000. The conference COM
mitttee split the difference, and by the
law as finally passed the maximum
strength of the navy is to be hereaf-
ter 1880 men. But this number is SO
inadequate that when the new ships
now nearing completion are ready a
number of the old ones must go out of
commission. On the 1st of January it
will require at least 10000 men to man
the United States navy properly.

THE BREW OF OLYMPUS

THE "IIOFFMAN," corner of Hotel
and Nuuanu streets, claims TO be the
Banner" resort for gentlemen and
holds the flag. l.. II. Dee, the pro-
prietor, has attained success in his
line, by specially and personally super
wishing everything connected with his
establishment. He now introduces to
his patrons "Olympia Beer" This
brew is from the Capital Brewing
Co." of Olympia, the capital of the
State of Washington, and was received
by the "Garonne.' Mr.. Schmidt, the
leading spirit of this corporation, is a
practical Chemist and Brewer, and
after years of search and investigation
located his plant at Olympia, on ac-
count of the peculiar virtues of the
water of the Tum Falls, stream that
is noted for its distinctive qualities of
clearness, GOODNESS and lack of mineral
and decaying vegetable impurities.
Pure beer can only be made with pure
water, and Tum water is traditional
in Washington with the Indians and
original white settlers. The olympia
Draught" is under the special control
and agency of Mr.. Dee and he invites
his patrons and friends to personal
test and is willing to abide by their
Judgment on the merits of his latest
venture.
