NAVAL COURT
Of INQUIRY HELD
Chief Woman Siebecke Is
Charged With a Serious
0ffenSe.

| The Naval Inquiry into the charges
made by Ensign Carter of the West
Virginia and Ensign Ferguson of the
| Pennsylvania against Chief Yeoman
H. Siebecke, of the Colorado, of as
saulting an officer of the Navy, was
held on board the Colorado yesterday.
The inquiry was concluded, and the
report of the Court of Inquiry will be
fleet, who viii forward it with his
recommendation to the Secretary of
the Navy.
1t is charged that on the evening of
September g. Siebecke and another
man from the Navy returned horses
to the Club stables. The proprietor
said they had been kept out after the
time agreed. Thereupon Siebecke be-
came angry and used bad language.
Ensigns Carter and Ferguson, who
We're there, sought to restrain him
from the language he was using. He
resented the interference, and asked
who they were. They told him they
were officers of the Navy and one of
them gave Siebecke his card. This
did not seem to satisfy Siebecke and
he followed the two officers across the
street and seized Ferguson roughly.
and said that he did not know that he
was an officer but that he had insult
ed him, Siebecke, twice and he was
going to have satisfaction out of him.
A crowd began to gather and Fergu-
son called two policemen and asked
them to protect him against Siebecke
and at once returned to the ship.
Sfebecke's defense was largely ex-
tenuation. He claimed that he was
drunk and was not aware of what
he was doing and that the officers,
being in civilian dress, were not re-
cognized by him as officers.
Siebecke was defended in the Court
Of Inquiry by Judge A. S. Humphreys.
Judge Humphreys being asked about |
the proceedings said that under the |
usages of naval courts Of inquiry, it
would not be proper for him to dis
cuss the matter.

IT WAS NOT A JOKE
HOWEVER IT. SOUNDED

/ It was visitors day on the u. S.
cruiser Colorado. The officer Of the
deck was pacing quietly back and
| forth, sheltered from the hot afternoon
sun by generous awnings. The usual
throng of curious citizens were wend-
ing their way on board and asking the
usual questions of the man in uni
form. A whitehead man, well along
in years but as sharp and alert as
many a younger man, approached the
officer.
Good day, SIR said the visitor.
GOOD afternoon, SIR" responded the
naval officer.
1--WE come aboard to see an old
friend" explained the visitor with a
curious smile.
What's his manner"
'fShips Bell, SIR
Practical jokers sometimes try their
luck with people of the navy just as
with others and the officer replied that
his visitor would find Mr.. Ships Bell"
hanging over the forward turret. And
the old time bell which clangs forth
its welcome sound on this crack Amer
lean cruiser was really 1.-THE person.
the visitor sought. The visitor was J.
NJ. Davis, well-known in Honolulu as
a sewing machine agent, and he was
soon explaining to people aboard the
cruiser that he had served with the
old bell on board the y. S. frigate Col
orado, back in the Atlantic in 1858.
Davis spent ten years in the United
considerable service in the Civil War,
and at the time Of his discharge from
the service was gunner.
The old Colorado, the frfgate, was "a
splendid vessel but had to. give way
for the ironclads. Her bell later saw
service on the Puritan and when the
present Colorado went into commission
the bell was transferred to her.
Mr. Davis at the present time is
probably the oldest navy man in Ho-
nolulu, at least one of the oldest. He
celebrates his sixty-eighth birthday
next Monday.

On his return from the coast yesterday
Samuel Newhouse stated that Superin-
tendent A d. Moffat, of the Newhouse
Mines & Shelter property. the Cactus
had reported greatly improved conditions
as the result Of operations of the past
few days. New and sensational ore
bodies have been opened on the 6Opfoot
level and every day makes the showing

trates and the crude ore Mr. Newhouse
is assured. will average around Is per

values.
Mr.. Moffat." said Mr.. Newhouse lis
exceedingly elated over conditions at the
mine and [ have every reason to believe
that he has right to be. | am too
busy to discuss conditions as they are
reported to me In detail. Just say they
are steadily improving; that will be good
enough"
II is generally understood that. during
the past week or two, an entirely new
body of rich ore has been encountered
on the 600 level and that it has been de-
veloping at such a rate that the mine
management IS simply soaring around in
clouds. Besides opening up a body of
ore the worst of which runs Is per cent
copper, it is said that. below the co., ore
that carries so much native copper has
been struck that the men about the mine
class it as bullion. Mr.. NewhouSe did not
say so. but there is little room to doubt
that the news to that effect is not much
exaggerated.

about conditions even around No. shaft.

much about them as yet. Everybody feels

uncertainty and danger.
There was never a great deal of work
done in the mine from No shaft below
the 100O-fOOt level, as the No. shaft
was located nearer the productive part Of
the mine and it was sunk in much better
ground. The best hosting and pumping
machinery was installed at No. and
