The officer who made that declaration IS
one whose long and distinguished service in
the cavalry branch of the United States
amy gives authority TO anything he might
say He did not speak in spirit of vain
hoasting, or with that feeling of "know-it-
allr ess' which is adopted, on occasions, by
certain wise tacttcians who specialize in
pointing out mistakes after battle has
been fought. 1t was pardonable pride, and
Unlimited confidence in one of the most i'm
portant branches of public service, which
prompted such an assertion.
When the 9th Army Corps. under Gen.
Shafter, departed from Florida for Cuba
there were thirteen squadrons of cavalry
Gfty-two troops-with it, all but four troops
of which were dismounted. At the out
break of the Filipino insurrection there
were just six troops of regular cavalry in
the Philippine Islands, and they were not
all available for mounted service.
When war was declared with Spain, the
cavalry of the United States army had

At the time of the commencement of hos
tilities and the general movement east and
west to Spanish possessions the men in this
particular branch of the military service
were all seasoned soldiers They had spent
the better part of their lives in the west,
lighting much of the time, enduring hard
EElps almost all of the time. The ten regt-
ments OF cavalry, split up into small units
and scattered over thousands of square
miles of territory. were used to restrain
any disposition that might be manifested by

and take up the beilcose habits of his
fathers. This service was not attractive.

IKUA NOW UNDER
CROSS-EXAMINAT!ON

| The direct examination of Ikua, call
ed by the petitioner in the Parker case
| came to a close yesterday morning and
the balance of the day was occupied
| by cross-examination.
| The direct examination brought out
| that Ikua had complained to Fred Car
| ter about several of the matters to
| which he had testified. He had re-
ported to Carter when any of the
| imported Herefords looked sickly and
| thin. He had discussed the driving OF
wild cattle When he wanted to drive
he telephoned to Carter for certain
boys, and sometimes Carter sent what
he wanted and sometimes more. The
| condition of the dairy buildings had
also been reported.
| The first point taken UP by the cross
examination was the alleged detention
of cattle in the pens without food or
| water. Kinney questioned the witness
| in elaborate detail as to the movements
of cattle from pen to pen during the
annual drives. Carter drove the cattle
over running water, at several places,
but the witness claimed that then they

were too ugly, angry, and hot to drink
at alp said Kinney.
They don't drink properly said the
witness.
Taking up the Kekuahanai pen, the
witness admitted that the Hilo grass
frequently grew two feet high between
the drives, but claimed that the cattle
trampled it down. There was a spring
short distance from the pen.
Are not the cattle sometimes taken
out and watered at that spring." ask
ed Kinney.
Sometimes said the witness.
We'll, what determines when they
shall be watered is it caprice or is
there some reason?'
IF the cattle are in distress they
would be taken out and given a drink"
Are not even the wild cattle in that
pen sometimes taken out and watered?'
Sometimes and sometimes they are
kept in the pen
With regard to Makahilinuu pen
Kinney asked if there were not a
stream of water running through the
pen.
1T has the name of water, it is
true said the witness, ''but it is too
small and insignificant for the cattle
that are there"
A little later Kinney asked: "Why
did you not say on direct examination
that when the cattle are confined in
Kekuahanai pen they are sometimes
taken out and watered?"
Il wasn't asked" replied the wit
ness
The water-pipe to the dairy which
the witness said had been broken five
times was under discussion when the |
court adjourned for the day

ANOTHER
HOLT CASE
An Offer to Buy Lands
--.Various Judiciary
Matters.

An order to show cause, returnable
on Monday, November ID, at 10 a. M,
has been made by Judge Robinson on
the petition of Helen A. Holt, guard
ian of Valentine S., Waite E., Amelia
A., Helene A, James R. and Irene n.
Holt, minors, for license to sell real
estate. The wards are children of petit
toner and James r. Holt, deceased.
Their estate is property inherited from
their father and consists principally of
elsewhere in the Island of Oahu.
Petitioner states that the debts ow-
ing by James R. Holt at his death
amounted to approximately $4,000,
which has been reduced to $4,000 secur-
ed by mortgages. The income of the
minors consists entirely of rentals from
lands in the district of Waialua and
from the Holt building on Nuuanu
street, but to hold tenants in the build
ing rents have had to be materially re-
duced. At the same time the expenses
OI the HIHOFS nave IHcfodSou, 80 Iheie
petitioner has had to borrow money on
mortgages to the amount of about
$4,000 ON their behalf. Owing to mort
cages of $4,000 on the Holt building
and $4,000 on the homestead in Ma
kiki, the administration of the estate
of James r. Holt, father of the minors,
has not been closed. There is no per-
sonal property, other than household
furniture and few horses, belonging
to the minors. Under license granted
by the court last year an attempt was
made to sell a lot on Maunakea street,
but the only bid obtained was the sum
of $1,000, which being grossly made
quate the court refused to confirm the
sale.
1t is next related in detail that the
minors own an undivided one-twenty
seventh part of five certain pieces and
an undivided one-ninth part of one
piece of land in Waialua district, and
that ON March II, 1905, petitioner with
others executed a lease of these lands
to the Waialua Agricultural Co. for
25 years from April l. 1905, at total
annual rent of $4,000, of which sum the
minors and petitioner are receiving
$333.33 year.
A responsible party has offered petit
toner $4,000 for the said one-twenty-
seventh and one-ninth parts of said
lands, which in the opinion of petition
er is reasonable and fair price there
for and equal to the amount which has
recently been paid for like interests
in said lands. Believing that it would
be for the best interests of the minors
to sell the shares of lands in question,
provided that an upset price of $4,000
were fixed, and that the proceeds be
used for the payment of the indebted
ness incurred for the minors and the
balance applied on the mortgage in
debtedness of their father IS estate, the
guardian prays for license to sell the
property at public auction, said upset
price being fixed, the proceeds to be
applied as stated

MALE VS.. CARTER.

| There was an extended hearing yes

| the case of Koolau Male and others
| against j. 0. Carter and others, on the
| application of the respondents, through
| their counsel, Kinney, McClanahan &
| Cooper, for an assessment of damages
under a bond given in connection with
| restraining order. The objections to
| the jurisdiction of the Chief Justice
were overruled. A strong affidavit on
the part of the compliments by Henry
E. Highton and G. w. Ashford was
filed in which, in answer to the affidavit
of E. b. Mechanism, annexed to the
application, the following paragraph
occurred:
That they absolutely disclaim and
emphatieally deny the imputation with
which the said affidavit is replete that
the delay in the trial of the action of
ejectment in the said affidavit men
toned has been occasioned by any I'M
usual proceedings on their part or on
the part of either of them in the mat
ter of postponements of the said trial
or by any proceedings not strictly with
in the lines of ordinary professional
duty, and they are unconscious of any
special weight in the respondents or
their counsel that should have prevent
ed the exercise or enforcement, through
the channels of the law, of the rights
they conceive the complainants and ap-
pellants to possess. -
The hearing on the merits was con-
tested by E. B. McClanahan for the
applicants and by Henry E. Highton
for the compliments. The application
was denied.
