FROM ISLANDS
WAILUKU, HILO AND LAHAINA
MEN ARRIVE FOR ENCAMPMENT
TOMORROW.

The steamer Claudine was in appear
ance and in fact a military transport
as she entered the channel short after
4 O'Clock this morning from Maui and
Hawaii. Persons down at the early
hours to meet returning relatives or
friends and the usual drove of cabbies
at the I-llo liner were treated to an un-
usual sight. From peak to sternpost
the ratings of the vessel were crowded
with soldiery, their dull khaki uni
forms showing up grim and war-like in
the early dawn. Aboard were Com
panies d, | and l., First Regiment, Ma
tional Guard of Hawaii, and the Wal
luku hospital corps arriving in for the
annual encampment at Moanalua to-
morrow
First the cabin passengers, of which
there were goodly number, coming
principally from Hilo and Kahului-
landed. Then came the soldiers. They
had boarded the vessel at the several
ports by companies, but as they oc-
cupied shake-downs on deck no effort,
except in a general way, was made to
keep the commands together on the
way over. Upon landing on the dock
they were formed, given instructions
as to time and place Of assembling
again, and then dismissed.
Company d, the bulldog of the de-
tachment, is from Hilo. This is the
Oldest of the country companies 1t
showed up with AZ men, which is a
good average considering the distance
to be Travelled and the difficulties ex-
perienced by citizen soldery in leaving
business for 50 long time. Captain
a. w. Fetter is in command, assisted
by First Lieutenant J. d. Easton ana
Second Lieutenant II. H. Morehead.
Fetter is an old Honolulu man and was
at one time in command of Company
a. Easton is one of the best shots in
the Hawaiian Islands.
Coming on to Maui, the Claudine
found Company |, of Wailuku, ready
at Wahului to embark In this de-
tachment there were AZ men and three
officers. Captain w. f. Bal is in COM
mand. His lieutenaHts are: First

This consisted of trained squad of
fourteen men under Captain II. II. Di-
negar, the well known Maui physician
and surgeon,
From Lahaina came the baby COM
pany" of the National Guard. This is
Company L, Captain S. Keliinoi. In

All of the companies, except the one
from Lahaina were dismissed this
morning until Z o'clock this evening
when they will assemble at the Ma
tional Guard armOry preparatory ia
marching to Moanalua where the camp
has been pitched The Hilo and Wal
luiu men started in early to see the
town and to enjoy the day in quiet
manner taking in all that is to be seen
The Lahaina men were detained until
II O'Clock, receiving and arranging
their equipment, and were then turned
loose for the day.
This addition of a hundred and fifty
men will materially add to the show
! ing of the National Guard in the big
encampment, which will be fully under
way tomorrow. Tents for all the vo-
lunteeers were arranged today by the
regulars from Fort Shafter, so that
there will be little to do but "move
in"
