by the management of the Alexander
Young Hotel for the officers OF the
Asiatic fleet next Observation-Disclosures

Admiral Evans and Manager Lake
had a conference in regard to the mat
ter yesterday and the Admiral express
ed himself as highly pleased with the
plans for the entertainment of the fleet

couple of bands from the battleships
to help out the musical feature of the
affair.
Mr.. Lake has also requested Gov

NAVAL GOLFERS
NOW IN PORT

Two more vessels arrived yesterday
to swell the list of naval vessels in
Honolulus harbor. These are the
United States naval Golfers Pompey
and Nan Shan, both of which came
into port yesterday afternoon. The
Pompey was moored in Naval Row
alongside the Oregon, and the Nan
Shan is berthed at the Hackfeld wharf.
The Pompey, which was reported
yesterday morning as having arrived
off port the night before, came into
the harbor at p. m. The Pompey has
about 1850 tons of coal aboard and her
own bunkers will be replenished with
about ESQ tons. The Pompey will re-
main here until about three days be-
fore the fleet is ready to depart for
the. Orient. She will precede the fleet,
calling at Midway and Guam. Coal
will probably be furnished the fleet at
Guam from the Collier.
The Pompey sent boat ashore at
Midway to take off mail and was also
given the following letter by the cable
people:
You are a brick. Good luck to you
and yours.

E. Colley, (wife of the Superintend-

Captain Adamson was here two years
ago, in command of the collier Alex
ander. Louis Reynolds of Honolulu
was with Captain Adamson when the
Alexander was disabled near Porto
Rico. Reynolds was one of the crew
which went in boat in search OF as
sistance.
The Nan Shan came into port in the
afternoon. She called at Midway on
the night of December L. 1t was dark
and the vessel went in too close and
bumped on the reef. The collier was
uninjured however, and slid off imme-
diately into deep water. Captain Bri-
deaux reported the incident to Ad-
miral Evans.

HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS FOR NAVY

One hundred thousand dollars have
been paid over to the navy people by
the First National Bank of Hawaii
since the arrival of the fleet. One hun
dred thousand dollars distributed
among the men of the fleet in the next
two weeks would mean that very
generous slice would be left in Homo
lulu, as the jackies are good spenders.

Chaplin on the Kentucky finds this to
be quite remarkable. 1t is a demon
