Thought it Had shrunk.

There is a story going the rounds on
Judge Advocate. Captain Austin that
is causing much amusement among the
officers. Not being familiar with camp
customs he was not aware that there
were two post flags, one to be used i'm
clear and another in rainy weather. The
big flag was al the top of the pole all
day Tuesday. on Wednesday morning
the weather was threatening and the
much smaller flag was hoisted. Step
ping from his tent Captain Austin im-
mediately noticed the difference and
turning to Captain James Lohand said;
Captain. that flag should be taken
down. 1t has shrunk TO almost half
the SIZE now and II it remains up much
longer only the halyards will be left"

But little was accomplished ycster-
day in the way of practical drilling on

the officers at school i'm headquarters.

There was but little sleep and boys az
Halloween never thought OF half the
tricks that the troops played ON one

that another week might be spent here

that some of the men had stolen some

NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-In the line Of
prisoners passing before Magistrate
Whitman to-day was a young man.
whose features and carriage marked
him among his fellows in misfortune.
His name is Germanio Redetio Maltini,
and he is a son of a wealthy Porto
Rican merchant He was found on
Broadway in a weak and sickly condi-
ton by Policeman Platte and arrested
on a charge of vagrancy. His clothes,
which had been soaked in the water
and mud and caked in the dust Of
many roads, bore testimony to long
suffering. He told a remarkable story
Your Honor" he said, my trou-
bles began when 1 got the sugar plan
tation fever. l hated the thought OF
hearing it said that my father had
made my fortune, and 1 asked Ma to
send me to Honolulu to learn ssugar
planting. There were 300 young men
like myself on that plantation. We got
SIS a month and board and lodging. L
saved money for two years and my ap-
premiership was then at an end. 1
was about to return to Porto Rico,
when one night my money was stolen
The San Francisco call., 1904-11-19

while 1 slept. I complained to my mas
ter. He grinned and told me I was
lying. I complained to the police, aud
they laughed at me. Thinking II part
Of plot to keep me there in sort OF
slavery, 1 refused to work until my
money was found.
II was suddenly taken before court
by my master and committed TO re-
form school Of Honolulu, where I re-
mained for two years They took away
my own name and gave me an English
one, George Brook. 1 escaped at last and
managed to secrete myself on one OF
the Pacific Mail Steamship Companys
boats They found me and l was put
among the firemen and made to work
my passage to San Francisco Finally
1 got on a freight train bound East /
was caught 100 miles out Of San Fran
cisco and put off. Then l tramped un-
til at last l got to New York.
For three days and nights Maltini
tramped the streets of this city look
ing for work Maltini tsaid he could
easily return to his parents, but pre-
ferred to first earn money enough to
90 back looking respectable. The po-
lice have secured a position for the
young man.
