SICK TROOPS ON THE TRANSPORT
INDIANA.
Fifteen Dead and Nearly Five Hundred
Sick on Board-Captain Paul Smith
on Mindanao.

The transport Indiana, Captain Morle
arrived last night from Manila, on her
way to San Francisco. She has only
fifteen dead bodies in her hold, two OF
them being the remains of soldiers who
died. on the way. There ere l53 sick
men on board, all of them convalescents
from Philippine hospitals. The two
who died after leaving Manila were al
so recovering, but they did not obey
orders as to. diet. Eating fruit killed
them. when they might have lived to
regain strength. in America
Most of the sickness on the Indiana
is dysentery. None of these cases are
allowed. on shore. Last. nighT no one
was allowed to leave the vessel and his
morning, when shore leave was given
the order went forth that none of the
men suffering with dyseniery must go
ashore. This Is a projection fer Homo
lulu from the disease
The men on the Indiana are from a
large assortment of regiments. The
doctors say that all of the 463 will re-
cover If they do not follow the example
set by their two unfortunate conrad, :,
who died at sea. Many of the men look
very weak and sick and vecy faw have
a healthy appearance. Some are fear
fully wasted away. All of them spec k
almost with horror of the effects of the
Philippine climate on men whom il

he doesn't even make the few days
duty at intervals. He goes to the hos

The saddest event of the journey from
Manila was the death of the wife of one
of the army officers, who was accom-
panying her home, the lady having be-
come i'll in Manila. Lieutenant Kill

CAPTAIN WINSLOW WINS ONE
POINT.
He is Allowed to Look Out for Chinese
on the Solace Himself-The Oopack
Watched.

The Honolulu custom house officers
are not bothering the navy transport
Solace this time, except by Watching
her If that be bothering, and seeing
that no packages are brought ashore.
Captain Winslow won one point of his
kick ,'of last trip ana he rs looking after
his own Chinese.
Instructions from Washington were
received, 1t is said, placing the respon-
sibility of seeing that the Chinese on
the Solace do not stop in Honolulu on
the shoulders of Captain WinSlow.
Last time he was here the custom
house officers wanted to carry out the
usual plan of mastering the Chinese
twice a day, according to treasury de-
partment orders, to see that none have
escaped. This had been done with
other transports, but Captain Winslow
objected. He said that customs au-
thorities had nothing to do with the
SOlace. This is not a transport, it's
man of war" he declared to one Gus
tom house officer who was on board.
Relations became strained between
the collector and the captain and an
order went forth on the Solace that no
custom house officer be allowed up the
gangway, Sentries even ordered away
custom house officers in uniform when
they approached close to the vessel,
within the sentries line of patrol.
The last order from Washington ap-
pears to sustain Captain Winslow as
far as the mastering is concerned.
Custom house men are not paying any
attention to the Chinese on board the
Solace and don't care if they come
ashore.
At the transport OOpack a different
state of affairs exists. Here the GUS
tom house maintains a guard under or
ders to keep the Chinese on board
Captain Barber, however, keeps such
an efficient watch with his own men
that the work of the customs men is
easy. No Chinese are likely to es-
cape from the Oopack. She is a Brit
ish vessel and would be fined $500 for
every Chinaman she left on American
soil.
Some comment is aroused by the fact
that Chinese are kept on the Solace
! Not long since there was vigorous agi'
! tation by the trades unions of the
| Pacific Coast against employment OF
| Chinese on the army transports. The
agitation was successful to such an
extent that the Chinese We're removed
and those on the Hancock were dis
charged in San Francisco and sent
home in the steerage of a mail steam
er. The navy department does moi
seem to have taken the same move.

ALMOST COMPLETE TURN OVER
TODAY.
Promotions and One Vacancy Filled by
Appointment from Postoffice-Active
Work to Begin.

The force in the United States re-
venue office. except the Chinese regis
tration section of it, was this morning
almost completely reOrganized. Mr.
Hasson retired last night, but will have
to visit the office few times more TO
straighten out certain matters. He
will give private little time to his late
colleagues. tonight at which there will
be dinner. and some speechmaking. It
is rumored that the retiring deputy will
be given the usual commission award
ed to exceptionally good men in the To-
cal revenue service. .......
The local revenue. force as. now.ycop-
stituted is as follows: Roy Chamber
lain, collector; H.. d. Cousins, chief
deputy Philip r.. Whelan, cashier.
Walter F. Drake division deputy; AL
bert M. Webster deputy and gauger;
Charles Chong, deputy and messenger.
Mr.. Cousins goes up a notch. Mr..
Whelan was formerly gauger, having
succeeded Albert Hoogs, resigned, in
that office. His successor, Albert M.
Webster. goes from the postOffice
where he has been a clerk. Drake and
ChOng continue in their old positions.
After now there will be great deal
more outside work but it will not be so
hard as formerly, as the routine in the
cities and towns is already in hand.
The fun will come when the deputies
start after Illicit liquor manufacturers
and sellers. 1t is the intention of Col
lector Chamberlain to institute a vigo+
rous campaign all along the line.

FROM CAPT. PAUL SMITH TO kONA. FIFTEEN days.
THE LITTLE UPoLU RIDES THE
ENTIRE STORM.
One of the Hardest Island Trips on
Record-Freshets on Haleakala's
Slopes.

THE channel between Molokai and
Lanai looks like the mouth of the
Mississippi after big freshet," said
Captain Dalton of the little steamer
Upolu, which returned to Honolulu this
morning after making a trip of fifteen
days to Kona and back. The Upolu
had probably the toughest experience
of the storm.
"All about the channel" continued
the captain, there are tree stumps and
branches, weeds and brush floating, as
a result of the heavy washouts. The
water of the ocean is muddy for q dis
tance of at least two miles from shore
and there is a strong current 1 think
it must be at least five-knot current.
THE slopes of Haleakala were the
scene of some splendid-lOoking fresh
cts as we passed. Great columns of
water were coming down the mountain
sides and striking the ocean with such
force that there were clouds of spray"
One of the hands on the Upolu in
sists that the ocean water in the chan
nels is fresh, but Captain Dalton re-
fused to believe him. The deck hand
said he had tasted the water in the
channel and would take his oath that
there was no salt in 1t. He thought
that so much rain had fallen that the
salt water was not in it any more. He
did not drink much of it, however and
couldn't persuade others to even try
the experiment.
The Upolu was at sea throughout the
entire Kona. From one port to an
other she struggled to find good an
chorage and several times it seemed
that she could not last much longer.
She lay two days at Kailua and two
days at Alalae. Kiholo. Kawaihae,
Puako, Hama and other places were
visited, but everywhere the sea was the
same. Food supplies began to give out
and, as it seemed impossible to get
ashore, the situation was serious. AT
Kiholo a bag of rice was secured and
at Alalae, where the vessel was when
the weather moderated, supplies were
brought.
Captain Dalton's cabin was filled
with water for days. 1t was eight
days this morning since he had used
his berth, having in the meantime only
snatches of sleep on the sofa or on the
floor. The Upolu is one of the smallest
of the island steamers and the waves
literally rolled over her, while the
drenching rain was driven In every
where by the high wind.
The Upolu reports that the schooner
Queen, which had to leave Mahukona
when the storm broke, has not yet re-
turned. The schooner Emma Clau-
dina, which also found Mahukona un-
safe, went to sea after the Queen. She
was off port when the UpOlu left, ano
has probably returned to her anchor
age by this time.

STEANERSANTA ANNARERE
COMES IN PLACE OF THE
CENTENNIAL.
A Small Vessel That Can Garry Many
Passengers-Wil Return to the Nome
Trade.

The steamer Santa Ana, Captain G, F.
Strand, arrived this morning from Seat
tie, coming here for the Britishz Ameri-
can line in place of the Centennial,
which is in San Francisco being re-
paired. The Santa Anna was just II
days making the trip, having left Seat
tie at noon on the third of this month
The Santa Ana was built year ago
for the Cape Nome trade and will go
into that trade again. She has been
chartered for only one trip to Honolulu,
but may make another one. After that
she will go to Nome and st. Michaels
for the North American Trading and
Transportation Company, of Seattle.
The Santa Ana was built for carrying
passengers and plenty of them. She
has accommodations for no less than
432 passengers, half of them first class
The Nome trade taxed all her accom-
modations and will probably do so
again. She is a vessel of 1850 tons re-
gister. c. F. Strand is her master and
w. H. Trigg purser.
The Santa Ana will be in port only
about 4S hours, going from here to load
sugar at Kahului. From there she
goes to San Francisco and then to
Seattle. She brought TO tons of gen
eral merchandise from Seattle this
time.
