| The announcement that Admiral
! Very is to be relieved in the command
of the Honolulu naval station early in
April, while not unexpected, is never
theless unwelceme news to Honolulans,
among whom Admiral Very has SO
very many warm friends. The ad-
miral fills to nicely the ideal many
have of an officer of his rank in the
American navy, a courteous and kind
ly gentleman, yet dignified and convey
ing respect for his rank in his de-
meanor.
To succeed him will come Captain
Corwin P. Rees, who has been for the
past two years in command of the
naval station at Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, of whom the Portsmouth
Times says:
'Dignif1ed and of commanding pres
ence, courteous in his dealings with all
he has the respect and confidence of
the working and official force of the
yard who will sincerely regret his de-
parture. The duty to which he has been
assigned takes him to one of the most
desirable naval stations of the coun-
try, in the most delightful climate of
the globe with tropical verdure and
invigorating sea air, yet withal one of
the most important stations of the
government. Captain Rees will be the
right man at Honolulu in any impor-
tant event which may occur in the
Pacific ocean,

Bishop da Silva, who arrived here
from Honolulu Friday, although in
deep mourning for his nephew, the
king of Portugal, is to be one of the
guests at the Hyde-Smith- Dillingham;
wedding, because of old friendship for
both families, says the San Francisco
Call. The bishop represents the type
of courtly, dignified ecclesiastic that
figures so constantly in novels of Eu-
ropean life, and he has become a great
favorite with society here. Before he
left for the Hawaiian Islands a great
many dinners were planned in honor
of his return, but the tragedy in Port
ugal prevents any formal entertaining
for some time.
On the same vessel Friday was Har-
old Dillingham;, who is to wed Miss
Margaret Hyde-Smith a week from to-
morrow, and his brother, Walter, who
will attend him. Ever since the hour
the Dillingham; boys arrived the young
er set has been in a constant whirl of
excitement, and the Hyde-Smith house
in Fillmore street is the center of a
constantly shifting group of young
people, relatives, errand boys. florists,
dressmakers, milliners and
all the other things that go into elabor-
ate wedding preparations.
