The Italian battleship Etruria was
in Pensacola the other day and while
here its officers were cordially met
by our army officers at Fort Barran-
cas- and the naval officers on the cruis-
er Montgomery, and at the navy yard.
The Italians were strongly impressed
with the hospitality they received and
with some characteristics of our Off
GERS afloat and ashore, which they de-
clare to be unique. The Etruria is now
in New Orleans, and one of the Off
GERS of the ship had this to say to a
Picayune reporter, doubtless having in
mind his recent visit to Pensacola:

The Garden Island gives the fol-
lowing story of Koloa's disputed wa
ter rights:
The pastoral quietude of Koloa is
o thing OF the past, and 1t isn't hard
stun that is the reason of II, either,
but water, pure and simple. or at
least water as pure as one gets II out
of the plantation bitches.
Some years ago the McBryde Su-
gar Co. constructed a ditch up on the
short cut to bring some of the water
running down one Of the gulches to
It's land No opposition was encoun-
tered to the work. and the plantation
was in the possession OF so much the
more good mountain water.
| But tempora mutantur, ct nos mu-
tamur In His. Koloa Sugar Co.
few weeks ago remembered the dig
| ging OF the ditch and felt sure a mis-.
take had been made at the time, as It
was convinced the water belonged to
| Koloa. A few men were therefore
sent up to divert II back into the pro-
per channel. The McBryde people
didn't say a thing, but the first thing
| Koloa knew the water was again
trickling over toward the other fell
low.
| This was rather annoying to the
Koloa interests. so when the Nc.
| Bryde people went home for a nights
rest there was a force at work con-
structlng a dam that would prevent
any water from running towards the
Lanai side, but would force the
stream down over the Koloa lands.
The builders had suspicion that
their opponents wouldn't let the
structure alone, so thoy squatted
down on the dam, fifty men strong.
to prevent the other side from put
ting a few sticks OF dynamite in the
dirt and making II look worse than
the Nuuanu structure and not worth
much more.
| In time the McBrydes arrived but
found the enemy in possession OF the
Notifications. They felt very much
| like taking the breastwork by storm,
but were restrained from doing 80 by
the legal aspect OF the matter. It
was, of course, unavoidable that a
warm feeling on the subject should
be prevalent among the forces on
both sides. and that some still hotter
expressions OF feeling should take
place. In fact. things got to be so
scorching over In the district that
the Sheriff thought Il best to take q
hand in the matter. or, rather, to be
ready to do so. He went over there
personally and Investigated the situa-
tion and found It so unpromising that
he telephoned to his deputies at LII
hue and Waimea to send over three
police officers each to Koloa to be in
readiness In case OF need.
There the matter stands. On the
dam nifty Japanese are earning an
