The Governor of Hawaii has asked
that the reservoir and pipe line on Dia-
mond Head Military Reservation on
Oahu, Hawaii, be not included in the
reservation says the Army and Navy
Journal. The matter has been taken
up and thoroughly considered at Wash
lngton and the decision is that it would
not be advisable to give the Territory
the northeast slope of the crater for
use as a reservoir, but that there would
be no objection to allowing the recess
sion of the southeastern slope for the
purpose indicated. The matter has not,
however, been decided and will be taken
up by the Secretary of War later in the
summer
The newspaper report that white
troops are to be sent TO Fort Brown at

ment of Agriculture for special scien-
tifc purposes.

Army and
Navy News
Observation-Disclosures

The test of the big guns of The Dia
mond Head mortar battery was by nc
means as satisfactory IN all respects
as has been stated, according TO a
rumor that is current and which vas
published in an afternoon paper yes
terday. This is to be the effect that
the l6-ton casting upon which one of
the guns rests and upon which it is
turned was broken completely in two
during the firing of the full service
charge last week. In addition to this,
the trunnion was broken, which renders
the gun entirely useless unless it can
be repaired, which can not be done any
where except at the factory. As the
trunnion is cast on the gun and is
part of it, it will be difficult if not
impraeticable to repair it.
Both Major Winslow and Captain
Platt, who tested the guns, stated re-
peatedly that the test was in every
respect satisfactory and that the NOR
tars~ stood it without damage. Evil
IDENTIFY they had forgotten the little
matter of one of the mortars being put
out of commission by the firing. The
seven other guns, however, so far as
can be learned at present, are unin-
iured. 1t is believed that the break
ing of the casting was due to defect
which had not been discovered. Major
Winslow diselaims responsibility for
the story. Efforts to get any statement
from him in regard to the matter were
fruitless, though possibly the next
Paradise of the Pacific will have a pic
EurA of the break and an official de-
scription of it.

Fleet to Test Wireless.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Wireles
telegraphy will play an important par
in the war game of the Atlantic fee
during the summer maneuvers off thu
New England coast next month.
Admiral SehToeder's flagship, the Con
neeticut, has been equipped with a sci
of high powered wireless telegraph ap
paratus and the scout cruisers Chester
and Birmingham, when they reach the
United States from Liberia, also will
be equipped with similar instruments
The. scout cruisers, which for the first
time viii participate in the war exer-
eises, will figure in some of the import
ant problems to be worked out by Ad-
miral Schroeder, and the wireless tele-
graph viii come into play in these evo-
buttons.
While the battleship feet is at sea
-practleing this summer the experiments
will be made with it in long distance
wireless telegraphy. At Brant Rock,
Mass, a high powered station has been
erected, and at this point Lieut. Com
mander Cleland Davis and Lieut.. George
Sweet, experts Of the navy in wireless
telegraphy, will watch the work be-
tween that STATION and the vessels of
the Atlantic fleet carrying the high
powered instruments.
Increase in the Army.
The standing army will be increased
by 1000 men as result Of two general
orders recently issued by the Secretary
of War. One of these adds 500 men for
duty with army recruiting, parties at the.
general recruiting depots aud in the re-
cruiting branch generally, making 5000
instead Of I 800 with that service. The
other order establishes the new branch
to be known as the service schools d.
taehmenl. TT is made up mostly of staff
non -commissioned officers attached to
the Army War College in Washington,
the artillery school at Fort Monroe, the
cavalry and infantry and staff schools
at Forts Riley and Leavenworth, the
hospital corps schools and the schools
for bakers and cooks. This detachment
viii be separated from the rest Of the
army, but similar in organization. In
the new detachment there will be $50
members. This brings the total author
lied strength Of the regular army up to
1888, not including the Philippine
Scouts, Of which the aggregate strength
IS 5,73I@and the Army Hospital Corps,
# which the total strength Is $500.

And they were married and lived

Queen OF queens, light of my life,

TWO or three days later she met
him at the front door when he re-
turned from the Office, and there was
a savage CLEAN in her blue eyes as she
said:

of advice. If you don't wipe your
feet on the doormat hereafter you'll

him, and as he carefully looked 1t over
and studied It's size and shape he re-
marked

She awaited her opportunity and got
back at him one night when he came

she led him around The bedroom BY
