The Second Fleet


The statement OF Brassey's Naval

now the second in the word has a new
confirmation in the 1907 edition OF Mr.
Fred I. James Fighting Ships.7 Mr.
James testimony is OF especial Inter

rather critical attitude toward tho
navy OF the United States. refusing
to accept its fighting strength al It's
paper value. he says now.
The extraordinarily high figures for

OF course, the defects recently point

there is one respect in which the

men have INDUCED in horseback and
carriage riding, and bicycle riding ad
lfbitum. They have gone on tour
through every part of the town. They
have been liberal purchasers of all
kinds of merchandise. They have Civ
en- the town a life and gaiety that win
make the contrast very striking when
the squadron leaves.
On the whole the men have been ex-
cellently behaved. There has been
very little complaint of vandalism or
annoyance from the men and there
has been little friction with the police
For the entertainment and accom-
mediation of the men a good deal has
been done. Under the leadership Of
the Salvation Army a vacant store at
the corner of Fort and Merchant
streets, has been fitted up as a read
ing and writing room, and reception
room. The Y. NJ. c. A. and the Sea-
mems Institute have kept open house
and made the men welcome.
The Minstrel and Vaudeville COM
pany of the cruiser Pennsylvania gave
a very excellent minstrel and vaude-
vile performance at the Hawaiian
Opera House Saturday evening, Sep
TENDER Z, which was well attended
both by townspeople and by men from
the fleet.
In official circles there has been a
formidable succession of calls and re-
turn calls. The Consular corps. Fed
eral officials and Territorial officials
have all been scrupulous in this mat
ter and list of the calls made and
those who made them or returned
them would almost fill a Blue Book. s.
Governor Frear and Secretary of the
Territory Mott-Smith gave a formal
reception in honor of the officers of
the squadron at the Alexander Young
Hotel last evening.
There has been a good deal of pri-
vate entertainment of the officers dur
ing their stay here and there will no
doubt be great deal more during the
remainder of their stay here.
The visit of this squadron has been
an event in the history of Honolulu.
and will no doubt prove an importan,
incident in the naval development OF
the Pacific.

The cruisers of the big Four
squadron are among the newest and
the best of all the ships of Uncle Sans
fighting line. Powerful, swift and fully
manned they are individually worthy
of the position they hold in the sec
ond navy of the world in point of
number of ships and tonnage and the
first navy in the world in point of a
record of uninterrupted victory.
The four cruisers composing the
First Division of the First Squadron
of the Pacific Fleet, the West Vir-
ginia, Colorado, Maryland and Penn
syIvania, are all of the California"
type, of which there are six in the
navy. OF the four now here, the West
Virginia and the Pennsylvania are
sheathed and coppered and have each
a tonnage of 1880 tons; the other two
have a tonnage of 13400 tons.
The cruisers are 500 feet long, of
