The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-01-25

MYTH the morning yesterday came
M the Grant, the great, white
United States army transport
Grant, which has been in this
port several times before and which is
by this time we'll known to Honolu-
lans.
She sailed from San Francisco on the
18th instant and enjoyed pleasant trip
Ito port AT O'Clock she had passed
quarantine and was alongside the Pa
cific Mail wharf, with her nose near to
the stern of the transport Warren, lying
at the Navy wharf and making ready
to get to sea.
This time the Grant comes with a
new captain, new sailing master.
Captain EBruguiere was promoted from
the position of chief mate after the re-
cent retirement of Captain Schiller.
Just before the transport sailed from
San Francisco word was received that
Bruguiere's appointment was to be per-
maneHt instead temporary, as was at
| first expected. The quartermaster of
the transport, Captain Jesse M. Baker,
has been with the transport ever since
she sailed from New York.
The meeting of the transports War
rem and Grant in this port was as UNI
expected as it was pleasant for the of
Ulcers of the two boats. At o'clock in
the afternoon yesterday the Warren
sailed for San Francisco, taking mail.
The troopships saluted each other as
the Warren got away, blowing long anu
continued blasts from their, whistles.
There are only 104 privates aboard
the Grant: they are casuals going to
join many different organizations in
the Philippines. There are many pas
sengers on the vessel, the wives and
relatives of army officers in the Philip
pines. as well as surgeons and e'erlsS
and other employees.
All of the Grants soldiers had shore
leave yesterday but before they were
allowed down the gang plank Quarter
master Baker read an order to them. an
order just issued by Adjutant General
Babcock of the Department of Califor-
MIA, concerning their behavior ashore.
The quartermaster also counselled
the men on his own account to conduct
themselves while in Honolulu in a man
ner becoming their uniforms. Yhe or
der read as follows:
Several acts of trespass on private
grounds, damage to front gardens some
miles out of town and even in the
town, and indecent and disorderly con-
duct by volunteer soldiers, while on
| shore leave in Honolulu, from trans
ports stopping there en- route to Ma
Mia. have been brought to the notice
of the department commander The
civil authorities of Honolulu are very
indulgent. They do not interfere I'M
less the disturbance or disorder of the
soldiers becomes fragrant, and never
interfere If the military authorities are
on the spot to make the arrest, but
having, made the arrest. they very
properly insist upon taking the offend
er to the station house for irvestiga-
ton, etc. and it is in this effort tha,
conflicts between the police and patrol
rounding up the men have heretofore
narrowly been averted
The department commander directs
that you take such steps as will pre-
vent any indecent and disorderly con-
duct in Honolulu on the part of the
troops on the transport Grant and that
if you send patrols to the city of Ho-
nolulu you instruct them as to their
proper duty toward the civil authori-
ties
