has the crack band Of the army and
the dusky musicians are willing per-
formers. They played several times
every day. and the excellent quality of
the music added considerably to the
enjoyment of the informal hops, Of
which there were many during the long
passage. AS the Sherman on its way
70 the wharf passed the United States
cruiser st. Louis the army and navy
exchanged a formal greeting, and as
the ensigns were dipped the Twenty
1ourth's band played The Star Span

noated to the transport three cheers
from the bluejackets on the cruiser.

The Sherman by wireless promised TO

Alameda Here From Honolulu
The Oceanic steamship company's
liner Alameda arrived early yesterday
morning from Honolulu with q full
complement Of passengers and a cargo
Of tropical products In the cargo was
2 small shipment of tabasco sauce. the
first out Of Honolulu. A factory for
its manufacture has been started at the
island port and hope is entertained
that II will grow into an important in
dustry. IT is only q few years ago
since the first shipment was made of
canned pineapples. This product now
forms an Important part Of all cargoes
out of Honolulu and hundreds of acres
of land formerly of nominal value are
now producing pines and yielding rich
revenues. The island people hope that
the tabasco sauce will develop equal
Importance.
Several members Of the crew of the
American ship Edward Sewall. who
were paid off at Honolulu, came UP on
the Alameda. Among these sailors was
Ernest Wilhelm Werninghaus. who ran
away from his home at Oak Park, Ill.
and shipped before the mast on the
Sewall. His parents learned of his
whereabouts after the ship had sailed
from Baltimore. They communicated
with nephew. c. J. Schoening. who
lives at Honolulu. sent him money and
a power Of attorney, and begged him
TO get their boy off the ship and send
him home. Five months on the Edward
Sewan had cured young Werninghaus
OF his desire TO be a sailor and he is
now on his way home to eat his share
of that fatted calf
Among the Alameda's passengers
were:
Mrs. Abel J. J. Abel. c. Botte. Mr.. and Mrs
Brown. Mr. Chase, Mr.. Cooley. Mrs. Cooley Miss
Cooley, Mr.. Day. Mrs. Day. H. G. Dawson Mrs
Dawson IL 7. Dowst. Mrs. w. S. Fuller Mrs

Sailors OF for Saints Day
The steam launches and other boats
that brought the liberty parties ashore
yesterday from the ships of the sec
ond squadron looked in the distance like
bumboats overloaded with fresh green
TO the beach the Celusion Of emerald
freight was dispelled. and it could be
seen that nine out OF every ten of the
blueJackets Were more less lavishly
decorated with ribbons and shamrocks
or. for the latter, some substitute
parsley In some cases-but always
green.
It is the navy's boast that all but
about 10 per cent of the enlisted men
are native born, but on ST. Patrick's
day in the morning, particularly a
morning like yesterday, the mere acci-
dent of birth counted for little and
nearly every bluejacket wore the green.
Every sailor that came ashore yester-
day had his own idea about spending
ST. Patrick's day, and as soon as he
reached the beach he started to carry
it into execution. Some of them In
parties chartered automobiles Before
getting under way they decorated the
machines with green. Where they
stopped and what they did viii not be
known until they return to their ships.
