fighting JOE WHEELER AMERICA THE RA2 NHE CENSORSHIP IA NM ON REEF UNIVERSITY FIELD RR
THE HERO OF TWO WARS Is IN
HONOLULU.
Soldier-like He goes to the Philippines
for Whatever Service He is assigned
to-Likes Honolulu.

81 am delighted to be in Honolulu,
the Paradise of the Pacific" said Gem
eral Joseph Wheeler, Fighting joe on
board the Tartar this morning, and
anticipate very pleasant stay here
which | regret is to be Sof such short
duration. We have with us two batta-
lions of the 10th infantry, made up of
companies of 12S men each, under the
last army regulations. They are the on
ly companies recruited up to that limit
and will give full regimental quota of
1900 men,"
General Wheeler is the same pleasant
and unassuming man of daring deeds,
the hero of two wars, who Is known so
well through the newspapers.
II have no idea to what particular
duty 1 will be assigned in the Philip
pines" continued General Wheeler III
reply to a question on that point. Il
am merely ordered to report to General
Otis and will receive my assignment
from him. 1 was anxious to see service
in the Philippines and am certainly glad
that 1 am now on my way to our dis
tant possessions.
1T is strange, isn't it, how l, an eX-
Confederate officer should be in service
in the United States army" he said
when that matter was suggested. But
1t is good that it is so. 1t is the logical
change that time brought around. Oh,
yes! the Southerners showed a splendid
spirit in the late war and 1 am sure it
is highly pleasing to the old veterans
| that it is so.
81 can not see how we can do other
wise than retain possession of the Phil
| ippines. Yet there is a fast growing
division of sentiment in the United
States on that question. 1t is probably
the outgrowth of political manipula-
ton. We will have to Reep the Philip
pines; l see no alternative policy"
The general does not know how long
he will remain in the Philippines. II
am under orders" said the general
land will act as directed by headquar-
ters."
The Tartar will be here only two days
and General Wheeler intends to devote
all the time he can to sightseeing. With
his wife and dauShter he started out
on this purpose this morning.

YALE-HARNARD LOSE BY ONE
EVENT.
Burke. Haryard's star Performer in
Bad Form-Cambrdge and oxford
Win-Great Crowd Great Contest.

LONDON, July 22.-After nearly
three hours of such intense excitement
as has seldom been known at an athle-
tic meeting, during which the final out
come was always i'm doubt, represen-
tatives of oxford and Cambridge at
last won the coveted odd event in the
great international track and field
sports at Queens Club this afternoon.
As had been predicted by nearly all
experts, the victory was secured by
the winners of an odd event alone. The
Americans showed up to their best
form in all the events but one, and to-
night have nothing to comp. ain of
either in regard to the manner in which
the games were conducted or IN re-
spect to the effect which the English
climate had upon their condition.
Burke. the star performer of the Har-
ward team, was far from being in shape
and collapsed in the half-mile race, but
with this one exception the Harvard
Yale men in every instance did all that
could have been expected of them.
From spectacular standpoint the
meeting could hardly have been sur
passed. First the WearerS of the dark
blue of oxford and the light blue OF
Cambridge and then the American uni
Versity men were in the lead. When
the last event was called each side had
four wins to its credit and the sensa-
tional race which decided the day will
never be forgotten by those who were
present.

WAS WRECKED YESTERDAY OFF
BARBBRS POINT.
Was Coming From Iianalei with "a
Cargo of Paddy-IIad Eleven Souls
Aboard-May Save Cargo

The tupmast schooner La Ninfa is on
the reef off Barber's Point. where a
hundred years ago, Captain Barber,
whose name was given to the point,
was wrecked.
The La Ninfa lies one mile off the
beach and three miles westward OF
Pearl Harbor. just out from Eva plan
tation. The vessel has only eight feet
of water under the bow and draws ten
feet. Her keel is gone and, although
not yet stove in, she is leaking badly
She has a cargo of about $500 bags of
paudy consigned to Hyman Bros. which
is insured with John walker. If her
cargo can be taken off she can prob
ably be saved. 1t is hardly likely how
ever that the cargo can be saved.
The La Ninfa was bound from Hama
lei to Honolulu. In tacking in off Bar
ber's Point the vessel got in too close
and found herself on the sand bar This
happened about s o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. She ran on to the bar head on
and Immediately swunp around to port
There was aboard the La Ninfa five
Japanese and three white men in the
crew and two passengers, Mr.. Johnson
and Chinaman. The James Makee
sighted the La Ninfa soon after the
wreck, and sent a boat out with water
and provisions. The captain and mate
came in to port this morning at 8
v tlOCh anu IeDOIleu lne wreck TO lne
authorities. The tug was sent out to
her later, carrying Captain Hansen
back to his vessel where he remains in
charge.
The La Ninfa came to Hilo some
months ago with a load of lumber from
the Sound and then entered the Island
coasting trade. She made two trips to
Alaska before coming here. She is now
owned by John II. Wilson and is valued
at $4,000.

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines useu in the United States
than of any other one make. This is q
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-

ton. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small

Otis offered to improve the conditions
of the censorship and appoint n new
censor but the correspondents explain
ed that their complaint was against the
system, not against the censor. Otis
asked the correspondents to submit
changes in the system which they
deemed essential. The correspondents
asked permission to report, first all of
the facts, and second, all of the phases
of the situation, both of which had
heretofore been impossible.
General Otis nominally granted the
desired reforms. He modified his con-
cessions, however so that there was
slight advantage from the changes.
Activity at the front delayed a settle
ment of the matter and Otis illness
caused a further delay. A final meet
ing of the correspondents was held to-
day and Otis was informed that the
foregoing message would be sent to
Hongkong.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-The War
| Department has issued a statement
quoting certain dispatches from Cen
| eral Otis, in answer to the press cor
| respondents round robin"
General Otis, in a dispatch under
| date of July goth, says that the press
correspondents demand permission to
cable that official reports sent misrep-
resented conditions. This was denied
They then demanded the privilege to
send, without reservation, facts found
by them and their opinion. This was
granted, if public interests were not
imperiled. The answer was not salts
factory and they therefore sent by
mail to Hongkong
General Otis says he is not conscious
of sending misrepresentation, bu
thinks that his dispatches at time:
have been too conservative. The pres:
| affair appeared to be a threat. Wher
correspondents were asked to state
| wherein General Otis dispatches were
misleading they offered nothing tangi
BILE except that his conclusions were
unwarranted. When told that they
were disregarding military authority
it was apparent that they courted mar
tyrdom, which it was unwise to Civ,
them.
In later dispatch General Oti
says that the charges made by the pres
correspondents are untrue. He add
that the most harmonious relations
exist between the Army and th
Navy"

CORRESPONDENTS IN MANILA
UNITE
Seek Relief From Otis and Failing in
That Send a Round Robin" Protest
to America.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Eleven staff
correspondents in the Philippines, re-
presenting the Associated Press and
the leading American papers, have
united i'm the following cable from
Hong Kong, regarding what they call
the intolerable censorship.
'The undersigned, being all staff cor
respondents of American newspapers
stationed at Manila, unite i'm the fol-
lowing statement:
I'VE believe that from official dis
patches made public in Washington
the people of the United States have
not received a correct impression of the
situation in the Philippines. but tnat
these dispatches have presented an ul-
ira optimistic view that is not shared
by the general officers i'm the field We
believe that the dispatches incorrect
ly represent the existing conditions
among the Philippines in respect to dis
sension and Generalization, resulting
from the American campaign and to
the brigand character of their army.
I'VE believe the dispatches err in
the declaration that the situation is
well in hand and the assumption that
the insurrection can be speedily ended
without a greatly increased force.
we think the tenacity of the Fill
pino purpose has been underestimated
and that the statements are unfound-
ed that volunteers are willing to en-
gage in further service.
THE censorship has compelled us to
| participate in this Misrepresentation
| by eXcising or altering suncontroverted
| statements of facts on the plea, as
General Otis stated, that they would
alarm the people at home or have the
people of the United States by the
ears
specifications: Prohibition of hos
| pital reports; suppression of full re-
! ports of field operations in the event
| of failure; numbers of heat prostra-
| tions in the field; systematic minimiza-
| ton of naval operations and suppress
sion of complete reports of the situa-
