arrived in this port yesterday after
noon about 2 o'clock from Manila. The
Warren had no intention OF stopping at
Honolulu and was bound direct for
San Francisco, and when she was
about five hundred miles north OF Ho-
nolulu, on her way to the Coast, she
made up her mind to pay Honolulu d
visit.
1t is a very long time since the
Warren has been overhauled, and she
is in many ways badly In need of re-
pairs. Several of the tubes in her
boilers had burned out. and were leak
ing badly. This was the case not long
after the vessel had left Manila, but
it was thought that she would be able
to make the trip to San FRANCISCO
without undergoing any repairs, but
shortly after the transport had passed
north of Honolulu, it was deemed adj
Visable not to risk going any further
without first having her boilers attend
ed to. So the Warren put back and
came to Honolulu.
When she was sighted yesterday She
was mistaken for the Solace, and was
reported as such. There was a great
crowd on the wharf TO see her come
in, and all kinds of rumors spread
around town as to the cause OF her
unexpected coming.
She flew the quarantine flag, and the
Stars and Stripes were at half-mast
when she entered port This, together
with the usual caution exercised in the
matter of allowing people aboard
transports, led people to suppose that
there was plague aboard the vessel, as
it was known that there had been con-
siderable plague in Manila.
But there was nothing or the kind

at half-mast on account of the fact
that the Warren has in her hold the
bodies of over a hundred men who
have met death for their country by
fighting Fflipinos and fever and other
diseases in the South.
The first thing this morning, men
frem the Union Iron Works will
go to work on the boilers of the War
rem, and it is thought that in four or
five days she will be ready to resume
her journey to the Coast with her
large number of passengers. the five
hundred or more soldiers who are to
receive their discharge on arriving at
San Francisco, and the earthly remains
of those who died under the flag they
served.

rough weather during most of her trip.
Strong head winds and heavy seas.

to this she was unable to make the
speed that she could have made had
she been in good condition. The War
rem is good for thirteen or fourteen.
knots when everything is all right with
her, but on the run from Manila she
lost about two knots an hour. She
hasn't been overhauled for nearly
year, and when a vessel cruises around
much in southern waters she very
quickly becomes foul and is greatly
handicapped as to speed.
The Warren was in San Francisco
last about the middle of August. Then
she left for China, but her orders t,e.e
changed when she arrived al Nagasaki
and she went to Manila From Manila
she went to the southern ports of Luz
Zon, and then back to Manila. She

famous fighting Fourteenth Infantry
from China back to the Philippines
Captain F. E. Frazier is her com
mander, and Captain p. L. Miles, A
@. NJ. u. S. ", is the transport quar-
termaster. Captain Miles is a very
young man for the position he holds,
but is a thoroughly competent man.
He is about twenty-seven years of age,
and has been in the army for the last
ten years, counting his cadetship at
West Point. He is a member of TIL.
Fourteenth Regiment, and it was while
he was fighting with the Fourteenth
in the Philippines that he so distfn-
guished himself upon the field of bat
tie that ne was made a captain of vol
unteers. Captain Miles has passed

and there are doubtless a great many
people in Honolulu who viii be glad TO /
know that fate has brought him this 7
way once more. He was with the first 1
expedition which was sent to the Phil /
ippines in 1898, on the City of Sydney. !
Among those on board the Warren I
