was shut up tighter than a drum"
So, for most of the day, the warriors,
young and old, had to go without
cigars, soda water, shaves and other
luxuries which are absolute necessities
when unobtainable.
The great United States Army trans
port Logan arrived from San Francisco
early yesterday morning. At $50 she
was off port and not long afterwards
was alongside the new naval wharf,
ready to take on the necessary $50 tons
of coal before she can resume her voy-
age to Manila, via Guam.
Aboard the Logan are the headquar-
tiers, band and First and Second Bat
talions of the First Infantry, and the
headquarters, band and Third Batta-
lion of the Second Infantry. This in
cludes 1909 enlisted men, counting q
hospital corps men. Besides enlisted
men, there are aboard, so officers. doc
tors, nurses and other passengers,
wives and children of officers in the
Philippines.
The Logan sailed from San Francisco
on Saturday, September 1st, in the af-
ternoon, making the passage down in
little over seven days. She carries
large quantity of stores for the troops
in the Philippines, besides having sixty
days supplies for the troops aboard in
case they should be suddenly ordered
to China. Although the orders are for
the Logan to proceed to Manila. it is
] just possible that other orders may
meet the transport on her arrival there
and the Logan's troops be hurried
to China. In this event the vessel is
ready and supplied-and the men are
ready, too. They are fine, sturdy
looking lot of men and are ready and
willing to fight fever, Filipinos, fate or
Boxers.
Colonel Harbach of the First Infantry
is in command of the troops in transit.

AS soon as people in Honolulu found
out that a transport had arrived, a
great many made for the wharf to see
the great floating barracks. 1t is many
months since SO many soldiers have
been in town at one time, and the sight
of big troop ship has of late been sur
ficiently infrequent to arouse considera-
bic interest. And the soldiers enjoyed
Honolulu just as much as the people
enjoyed watching them enjoy it. Not
withstanding the fact that for most of
the day, owing to the existing Sabbath
laws, the boys We're unable to do much
else than indulge in a game of semi
progressive sightseeing through the
streets and avenues of the metropolis
and suburbs on Pains horseless We

day of it and managed, after awhile.
to tumble to the side-door racket" and
get all the soda water and cigars they
wanted-some of them. The others
made up for their "hind-sight' when
the drug stores opened in the evening
TO sell drugs and surgical Instruments
Then were these places packed by those
seeking cigars and soda water.
Inc Officers, doctors and nurses hired
carriages-the livery stables were not
closed-and sped in and around the city
and out to Waikiki, up Punchbowl and
up to the Pail, taking in Oahu's glories
and making the most of their brief stay
mere. The Logan will leave Wednesday
morning in all probability.
When the Logan left San Francisco
there were grave fears entertained
there for the transport Californian,
which passed through here about the
END OF July. bound for Manila with
stores. 1t will be remembered that on
Saturday the Advertiser gave, exclu-
siveiy, the news of the Californian hay
ing sustained serious damage to her
propeller, and put in for repairs at
Guam. The news came by the Nippon
Maru
When the Logan sailed from the
coast the Californian had been out of
san francisco forty-five days, and %
per cent reinsurance had been offered
on the vessel. The steamer Is overdue
from Honolulu to Manila easily fifteen

was that she had broken her shaft and
was drifting helplessly around the
ocean.
This is the Californians maiden voy-
age, and the vessel left the Coast under
the best possible circumstances. The
