information in the Office Of the U. S.
Naval Station wireless office, VINO
should appear, clothed in the awful au-
thority of the Admiral himself, but
Captain Carter of the T. S. S. Iroquois,
who ordered an orderly to call forth
the representatives of the press and
then informed them that under no cir
cumstances were they to receive In
formation in regard to the approach OF
the squadron. K
This was highly amusing, to say the
least after newspaperman had given
Admiral Very the first news of the
squadron having been sighted Cap.
tain Carter was very gentlemanly about
it, but it was his painful duty, never
theless, to kick the reporters, meta
phorically speaking, out of the presenc,
of the wireless system that can only
receive messages when a ship is il
plain sight of people on the shore.

Carter, you can get 1t from Admira
Very and Admiral Very knew nothing
of the contemplated coming of the Al
lantic fleet to the Pacific until the AS
ISOLATED press announced it,

the first two-story building to see tn

At 12:45 o'clock this afternoon tn
four big cruisers of the squadron wer
off the harbor presenting an impress
sive spectacle, flying their homewaro
bound pennants, their great guns catch
ing the sunlight and sending it in elo

was in communication with the IVES
Virginia for 30 minutes, but most o
that time conversation was not clear
since the naval station wireless wa
trying to butt in and the Cincinnati
seemed more anxious to talk than L
listen The Naval station wireless
operator could hear nearly everything
except the West Virginia; he coul,
hear Hilo talking to Lahaina and tn
Cincinnati calling the West Virginia
but all he could get from the flagship
was an invocation to shut up" whicl
he did. "Scotty" Weston walked int
the Naval station wireless office t
send a message to the flagship, inviting
the men of the squadron to his cafe
because the island wireless system ha,
told him that they were not using tn
same code as the Navy, truthfully o
not. The Naval wireless, however
was so busy that "Scotty" let the will
go for the deed.
