details, which consisted of the two
companies from other islands connect

Of coffee and sandwiches to the entire

of the entraining were perfect. The
native Hawaiians, by their desire to
learn and their obedience and good hab-
its, make model soldiers in these re-
spects- Their conduct in camp
was exemplary, not one case of confine-
ment being reported.
! The work in camp consisted of drills,
guard and target practise-the latter
particularly thorough.
I inspected in marching order with
| blanket rolls, after the command had
been reviewed by Governor Carter This
was practical inspection, and was
much more satisfactory than last year
in the armOries. l recommend that all
yearly inspections of the National
Guard be made in camps, as in no other
way can an intelligent idea be ar
rived at as to efficiency. Camp life.
such as this, teaches men obedience,
how to care for themselves, and marks
manship, and makes them very nearly
good soldiers.
1 believe that nearly one hundred per
cent. of this command could be de-
pended upon in an emergency. Re-
quirements of Section IS, Act of Janu-
airy 1, have been fulfilled.
BAND.
Physical appearance, good; men ro-
bust and strong. 1t is quite
celebrated, and is an efficient musical
organization.
At this inspection the appearance,
and the uniformity of the contents, etc,
of the packs exceeded all the other or
CARNATIONS, and they were compliment
ed upon their military appearance.
COMPANY B.
Physical appearance good; men ro-
bust and strong. Men are jealous and
efficient and 1 believe reliable in case
of emergency.
This company has had considerable
gallery practise and range shooting and
are efficient in the use of their arms.
COMPANY d.
Physical appearance, good; men ro-
bust and strong. A very good and eff
fcient company; jealous, and think
would be reliable in emergency. This
company came by boat from the Island
of Hawaii and joined the regiment at
Honolulu, thence by train to camp sta
ton, thence by marching to camp. They
have their own range up to 600 yards,
and had much gallery practise and
range work, and are efficient in the use
of their arms.
COMPANY z.
The men are good physically and
make a good appearance. The charac-
ter was excellent in camp. They are,
l think, efficient.
The company was inspected in camp
in heavy marching order and exercised
in battalion drill; they have had plenty
of good target practise and are rather
efficient in the latter. Their camp was
neat and clean their cooks were well
instructed and kitchens neat and
clean.
COMPANY F.
Physical appearance of men good; ro-
bust and strong. This company is well |
drilled and possesses the most expert |
shots in the regiment. / ordered this |
