THE HOLLAND PRAISED.
A Report to the House Committee on
Naval Affairs.

Lieut. H. H Caldwell aide to Admiral
Dewey has submitted to the House Com
mittee on Naval Affairs his report on the
tests OF the submarine boat Holland,
made last Wednesday. Lieutenant Cald-
well was on board the vessel during the
tests and made careful notes of the test.
His report is endorsed by Admiral Dewey.
It is. in part. as follows:
Throughout the performance there was
no accident or hitch of any sort. and the
ease with which either part Of the mech
anism was manipulated was particularly
impressing.
Each member Of the crew had a special
station. where he remained during the
runs. Although these men were all highly
skilled and showed confidence due to
their long service in the boat. ] think the
duties could be easily performed by the
petty officers of the Navy after a short
trial. The boat did not roll. and she only
pitched slightly at the time OF diving.

and she righted Immediately after attain
ing the required depth. The torpedo was
discharged with the greatest ease. Only
a very slight shock occurred TO the boat
when the torpedo was fired.
The captain gave orders to the engineer
by the ordinary method OF bells, and
to the torpedo men and pump men by word
OF mouth. The loud noise made by the
gearing Of the propelling engine at all
times when under way made it necessary
for the word to be passed by several men;
but at no time was there the slightest
confusion or hesitation in obeying orders.
When submerged the boat was kept at
the chosen depth without any difficulty by
means OF the horizontal rudder. The even
ness of the submersi0n was well shown by
the depth gauges. but must also have been
apparent from the other vessels from the
positions Of the flags.
1T is worthy Of note that from the first
immersion the water as seen through the
headlights was entirely Opaque. and at the
maximum depth il looked almost black.
During the nearly three hours we were in
the boat the air was entirely sweet"

England and the Beers.

In his speech in regard to the Trans
vaal war. Lord Salisbury said all the
English wished was equal rights. "
They wish that Englishmen who refuse
to take an oath of allegiance such as
the United States require of all their
naturalized citizens, shall be voters
in the South African Republic. No ma
ton would dare to make that demand
upon any nation of its own size. Let IL
not be forgotten that Kruger offered to
allow the English to he citizens II hey
would take the very same oath of ma
turalization the United States require;
that is that they renounce allegiance
to their former country.
The coolest thing in many a Jay is
the protest of Gen. Methuen because
some of the Beers used the d'm-dum
bullets. Inv the Peace Conference, when
even Turkey and Japan wished to for
bid the use of these bullets in war,
England would not agree and her re-
fusal prevented their prohibition. The
Beers have no dum-dum bullets except
those they have captured from the
English! And Kruger has forbidden
their use, though here and there a
Boer running short of ammunition
may use the bullets he finds on the
English dead or Observation-Disclosures.

The addition Of representative Chin
ese and Japanese To the committee APP
pointed to appraise damages on the
homes in Chinatown destroyed by fire
would unquestionably be step to-
wards allaying much of the antagonis-
tic feeling among the ignorant denizens
of Chinatown. The condemned houses
were homes notwithstanding the I'M
sanitary character. When the former
occupants see their goods and chattels
removed or given over to the flames
they do not stop to think of the
necessity OF these measures for greater
personal safety They naturally view
the white element in control with dis
favor, thoughtlessly drawing the conclu-
sion that due recognition Is not given
the rights of Orientals. While the re-
suits, as regards damages or destruc-
ton, are not likely to be changed, the
appointment of representative business
men of the Chinatown district to the
committee would do not little to-
wards removing the antagonistic spirit.

wAILUKU WATER SYSTEM.

Maui, pursuant to the spirit of the
| times calls for action in its behalf, and
few people who read the resolutions
passed by the Citizens Committee last
Saturday can doubt the justice of the
| demand
With the black plague in Honolulu
and the ever present possibility of in
fected goods having reached some of
the outlying districts before the local
quarantine was declared, Wailuku ard
Kahului are dependent upon water
supply compared with which our Mutt
anu system Is the eXemplification Of
| purity. Citizens of Honolulu and Off
! Gals must not run away with the idea
| that Honolulu, bad as it is, is the only
place in the Islands that calls for
prompt action and liberal expenditure
of public funds.
Note the statement of the resolu-
ton:
First-The last Legislature appro-
priated 100000 to establish "A system
OF water works for Wailuku and Ka-
hului
Second-The site for reservoir in
the Tao valley and the necessary rights
of way have been secured.
The money has been appropriated
and the necessary rights of way Sc.
cured for at least beginning on this
much needed water system. And what
are the conditions which the residents
of these districts face today? Tn"
resolutions tell the story.
First-At the present time the ma
jority of the residents of Waikiki are
compelled to use water for drinking |
and household purposes from open |
bitches running through the town of |
Wailuku.
SeCond-At the present time no
fresh water for drinking or household |
purposes can be obtained in the town |
of Nahului except such water as may |
hc carried in barrels from bitches in |
NHllUkU 10 Sdlu NunUlUl.
In other words the majority of resi-
dents in the most thickly settled sec
lions of Maui use for drinking and |
household purposes water from the |
open bitches that run through the |
town. water subject to contamination |
from an hundred and one sources. |
THE majority of residents" who use |
this water neither boil nor filter their
drinking water, nor are they likely to |
do it until educated by the severe les
son Of an epidemic that will count its
cost in human lives. Freedom from
cpidemics in the past Is no guarantee
for the future as honolulu has dis
covered.
Well may the committee of which |
w. J. Lowrie is chairman-a man well |
known as conservative and sensible
call upon the government, through the
Minister of the Interior. to proceed
with the construction of the water sys-
TEN without further delay" The
Legislature which appropriated the
money for this system of water works
adjourned eighteen months ago and
not pipe has been laid. If for no
other reason than the present jeopar-
diZing of vast business interests on
Maui, the people of Honolulu should
join with the intelligent sentiment of
Wailuku and Kahului in demanding
that this public work be carried on
