wAiLUKu, October 5.-The two
militia companies on Maui spent the
whole OF this week In Camp Namchnme.
ba ON the sandhills near the beach be-
low Waikiki for the purposes uf prae.
teal military instructions, under their
own officers assisted by Captain shut.
tleworth and Captain Callison Of the
Second U. 3. Infantry, with Capt, A.
w. Nicely of Honolulu. The encamp.
ment was no mere pleasure outing AS
in the good old days of the N. q. H.,
where close order formations, straight
lines, movements in unison, and the
men who personated the wooden Indian
hest won the praises and piaudits Of
commanders and spectators alike. AT
Camp Knmehameha, field work, open
order formations, scouting parties, la
borious digging of trenches, and long
distance hikes over rough country were
the rule, and the non.com who sent in
the most intelligent report in the
quickest time possible received the
praises of the officers.
Company /, of Wailuku, Captain
Bal commanding, mustered thirty-eight
men and three officers, and Company
L., of Lahaina, under Captain Kelii
moi, fifty-three men and two officers
The camp consisted of two rows OF
large roomy tents, and other tents re
quired by the regulations. The boys
were kept busy, and if any we're in
clined to file the usual string of regu
lation kicks they hadn t the time tt
do it,
| Friday afternoon the companies were
sent out into the field to work out O
problem representing opposing forces
Company l. was assigned to repre-
sent an attacking force coming in from
| kahului to take the town of Wailuku
while Company 1, under Captain Ba
were sent out to defend Wailuku from
the enemy. Captain Keliinoi is credit
ed with putting out so many false lead
| that the defenders lost much valuable
time trying to head them off and missed
locating the main body until Keliinoi I
command emerged from the sand hills
into the open fields at the edge of the
town and was pronounced winner il
the war game, but the defenders mad,
up for it by opening murderous fir
and claiming the enemy was slaughter
ed before they could enter the tow
itself. This forenoon the companie
broke camp and returned to town.
Captains Shuttleworth and Callisoi
go on to Hilo by the Claudine to Civ
Company d, some more military in
structions. The officers and men al
agree the week spent by them at Cam
Kamehameha was the best they ha,
in the way of getting some militar
science in the war game.
More Maui Contracts.
The Maui loan fund commission
getting ready to call for contracts 70
the erection of a reinforced concret
schoolhouse at Lahaina to cost in tn
neighborhood of $50, 900, and of fran
building for schoolhouse at KeanaC
Maui. The fact that w. r. Patterso
has assigned his belt road contracts 70
a bonus will, in the opinion Of some o
the commissioners, be made a groun
for refusing to accept bids filed by hin
in the future.

Mary parsonage, WailulSu, yesterda
