FOR BATTLESHIPS
HOW THE BIG FLEET MAKE TRIP-DUB TO AR
RIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO ON APRIL TENTH HUNDRED
LEAVING NEW YoRK-A CRUISE
1913 KNOTS
San Francisco about Nav l.

San Francisco about May /.
Fifteen of the sixteen battleships
which will make the cruise Will on
that day leave the verysS anchorages
which they now occupy, and they will
not be home again until their anchors
catch bottom within the Golden Gate
and even there indications are that
their stay will be short, for the feeling
of the well informed in the fleet Is that
before another year has passed most
of the ships will be in the Philippines.
The ultimate destination of the ar
mored cruisers Tennessee and Wash
ington, which will sail from here for
San Francisco under command of Rear
Admiral Sebree early in October, is the
Philippines. The service sentiment
supports strongly the argument that
the proper station for an American
naval force in the Pacific is with a
base in the Philippines.
Coal in the amounts required for the
cruise must be furnished to Rear Ad-
miral Evans by GOLFERS at the ports
named, for coaling from lighters 10
slow work The plan for the cruise
contemplates that tue ships of the
smallest coal capacity, which are the
Illinois and Alabama, shall have upon
arriving in each of the ports of call
at least two days coal supply. Those
vessels which carry more coal will
have an even greater margin of fuel
against emergency. Not less than five
days and more, probably six or seven,
will be spent in each port for the men
upon whom will devolve the arduous
Job of coaling ship must be given some
liberty if they are to remain content
ed
A stretch of 24O miles through the
Straits of Magellan must be made be-
tween daylight and dawn. With one
ship or two the task is easy, but with
sixteen it is complicated. 1t is i'm
practicable to send one division
through the straits at a time, for while
the first would be waiting for the 9TH
ers they would be burning coal and
reducing the large supply necessary
for the long leg from Punta Arenas to
Callao. The cruise will be drawing to
a close about the time when the an
nual competitive target practice is
held. It will afford an opportunity for
a supreme test of the fighting quail
ties OF the great armada.
When only 1000 knots from its des-
tination the feet will go into Magda-
lena bay, Mexico. and spend one
month in competitive gunfre. The
placid waters of Magdalena bay Offer
exceptional facilities for this work
which the Atlantic feet for severa
years, with increasing proficiency, has
performed in West India waters.
To aid the plans of the United States
Mexico has given permission for the
United States to anchor a coal hulk il
Magdalena bay. The Pacific coas
divisions of the Pacific feet for sew
eral years have had target practice il

A dance for the benefit OF the Ha-

the night of Regatta Day at the Young

William Ellis has given his services
free for the evening, and will have a
very large number of Quintette boys
to play for the dancing. 1t is very
probable that the band will also play
for the dances, and a good time is as
sured every one that attends.
On Regatta Day afternoon the Saints

FORT MONROE, Va, August 20
Fifteen of the sixteen battleships
which will make the cruise to the Pa
cific next winter are at anchor here,
ready to put to sea today for neet
drills and battle maneuvers. Rear
Admiral Evans, commander-in-chief Of
the Atlantic fleet, returned to his flag
ship, the Connecticut, Saturday, and
although he has not spoken word OF
the conference with the President at
Oyster Bay on Friday, it is now realiz-
ed that there is no turning back in the
policy which will strengthen American
prestige by transferring the bulk Of
the American sea power to the Paci-
fic, where the national responsibilities
and interests are heaviest.
President Roosevelt found out at
the conference at Oyster Bay on Fri
day that the fleet requires only the
general repairs of the usual fall DOCK
ing to be ready for the cruise of 1919
knots from Hampton roads to San
Francisco. The magnitude of the un-
dertaking may be realized when it is
stated that at no time, if present plans
are followed, will the feet be separ-
ated. This means that sixteen Ameri-
can battleships will visit five South
American ports, at four of which new
err more than four have been seen at
one time. It means that $4,000 officers
and men must be given liberty in at
least two of the ports of call where not
more than 800 have ever gone ashore
before, 1t means that twenty-eight
GOLFERS will be required to ship to the
ports where the feet will stop the coal
necessary for them to make the voy-
age.
Here is the itinerary for the cruise
of the battleship feet and its half-doz-
en- auxiliaries:

WITNESSES
HAVE PILIKIA
DIVORCE CASE BoTHERs
WITNESSES ALMOST AS MUCH AS
PRINCIPALS

Mrs. Adelaide V. Correa, who is suing
her husband, Attorney Antonio G. Cor
rea for divorce on the grounds Of de-
sertion, non support, and cruelty,
finished her testimony on the witness
stand before Judge De Bolt this morn
ing, and was followed by a number of
witnesses summoned in her behalf. The
case is attracting a good deal of at
tention, particularly among the Portu-
guese portion of the population ana
the court room has been well filled ever
since the case was taken up yesterday
morning.
Mrs. CoTrea's story on the witness
stand was substantially the same as
embodied in her bill of complaint
which has been summarized number
of times. She was followed by a num-
Der of witnesses supposed to be for
her side, but some of their testimony
was of doubtful value.
Among these witnesses were w. %.
Bellina, who testified that he had been
out with Mrs. Correa number of times
while her husband was away on the
coast, but always in company with
other parties The defense sought to
prove undue intimacy between the two,
but could bring little direct evidence
to bear on that point.
Vincent Fernandez, an employee OF
the Tax Office, posed as a friend OF
both Mrs. Correa and Mr.. Correa. His
embarrassment on the stand under the
cross examination was very painful. A
typewriter letter was produced by the
defense and read in court, which il
was alleged that Fernandez had written
to Correa while the latter was on the
coast The letter indicated that the
writer was keeping the absent husband
informed of how things were going at
home, and connected the names of a
number of men with that of Mrs. Cor
rea in compromising relationship. 1t
cited an item from the Referee" re-
garding an episode said to have occur
ed in Palolo Valley, in which it con-
nected Mrs. Correa and a well known
business man and church pillar.
Vincent Fernandez refused to al
NIT that he had written the letter but
said if he had everything in 1t was
heresay, that he knew nothing Of his
own knowledge against the plaintiff.
The letter was unsigned and concluded
with Damn, damn, damn the women!"
NJ. A. Gonsalves and H. T. Lake were
also witnesses for the plaintiff Their
testimony was not very material.
The defense opened it's case by plac-
ing one of it's attorneys, Samuel Chill
lingworth on the stand to testify tC
the dull condition Of things in lega
lines for the past few years with the
idea of showing that Correa had an
excuse for not always providing for hts
wife as he should.
The case may be finished this after
noon.

The ride to Haleiwa is pleasant at
any time, but taken during that part
of the month when the moon is to-
ward the full the scenic attractions
are increased many fold. A day at
this popular hotel means rest for the
mind and body and the ride home is a
pleasant ending to day that will long
be remembered. On Regatta Day many

should spend the time at Haleiwa.

the special Waterman. The watch
man told him that he could not enter
the premises. "Why?" asked the Ha-
waiian. There has been a fire here"
was the reply Then the other made
some half joking remark about the
price Of oil going up, that perhaps
somebody wanted to burn the supply
of kerosene so as to boost the price.
The conversation was continued and
it developed that one had seen an aged
Hawaiian walking from the kerosene
warehouse toward the powder maya
zine on the morning of the fire, just
about the fire started and before the
still alarm had been turned in from
the government stables. He was the
only man in the immediate neighbour
hood and he was seen to go on past
the sewer pumping station, along the
road by the ditch toward the red-brick
powder magazine. He carried short
and crooked yellow stick and wore
tattered overalls, his somewhat long
ish hair blowing in the early morning
breeze. He was in a hurry and did not
look back.
Having ascertained these facts a Star
reporter this morning located the man
described, finding him in Kakaako. He
stated that he had been around the

changed, as it has been clearly shown
since and by unprecedented observers in
different parts of the world that alec
hol, even in moderate quantities, less

of the large railroads now strictly pro.

ENGLAND DRINKS LESS.
Consumption of Alcoholics Decreas-

Consul N, ptiOn Of Alcoholics Decrease
fng I'm Great Britain.
According to Consul Frank w. Ma
hin Of nottingham, recent wine stats
tics confirm the evidence hitherto pro-
duced that alcoholics are being decreas-
ingly consumed in Great Britain.
The amount of sine drunk per capita
in Great Britain is now figured at only
three pints Il year. The chancellor of
the excheQuer. in his recent budget
speech, said that In the past six years
the consumption Of wine had decreased
nearly SO per cent. Imports Of wine
from the principal sources Of supply
France. Spain and Portugal-have de-
creased In thirty years from a total of
100000 gallons to 100000 gallons
In year. The decrease from 1900 to
1905 alone was 100000 gallons. Aus
tralia has been selling wine to Great
Britain in growing quantities, but the
total imports of this wine are small in
comparison, with the decrease in the
imports of French. Spanish and Portu.
guese wines.
