An appearance of newness character
ICES the big transport Sheridan, lying
alongside the Navy wharf, and she
has more the look of a huge pleasure
boat than an army vessel. She came
into this harbor early Saturday morn
| ing after an uneventful voyage of
seven days and little over. Over a
quarter of a million dollars has been
spent on her by the Government since
last she carried troops, in fact she
has been almost entirely rebuilt.
The Sheridan is bound for the Phil
ippines, whittier she sails direct as soon
as she can take aboard the 700 tons
of coal which she will require. She
will probably sail late tomorrow or the
first thing on Tuesday.
The passengers are chiefly officers
wives and families and, all told, there
are over one hundred women and chill
dren aboard, the largest number of Of
ficers' families ever carried by trans
port.

/ Sheridan and Quartermaster Captain
Sawtell has charge of the casuals, pas
sengers and freight.
| There are several tons of supplies
for the quartermaster's department in
Honolulu and the fumigating plant for
the quarantine department also arrived
on the Sheridan. The latter will be
established as soon as possible on the
channel wharf, where there is already
a large fumigating room. The Sheri-
dan also brought considerable freight
which will be left at this port until
some other transport can take it on to
Guam, for which place it is intended.
About the middle of Saturday after
noon the Aorangi arrived from Van
couver after rather a rough trip. She
