ment received a flood of consular reports
on the sinking of ships bearing American
citizens. Two Americans dead in the
shaking of the British ship Crispin, eight

American lives jeopardized, marked the
days record.

the boat in charge of the captain of the
Crispin had attempted to make the Irish

the submarine was not seen.
Consul Frost at Queenstown reported
that the explosion OF the torpedo which
sunk the Crispin, killed FIVE men, two OF
the Americans, and he transmitted the
names of ten Americans of the crew who
were landed at Queenstown.
The destruction of the British steamer
Snowden Range. likewise torpedoed with

men. Four Americans who were among
the crew, were saved, Consul Washing

A considerable task awaits the Guards
men when they report this morning.
They may have to aid In serving notice
on many Of the Guardsmen who have
sought and found employment elsewhere
since the regiment was released from
Federal duty.
The best part of the regiment now Is
here, officers believe.
A handicap exists, too, in the fact
that an appreciable number Of Guards
men who did border service have been
discharged to Join the regular army.
Marine Corps, and naval militia. Col.
Young believes, however. that this
shortage can easily be overcome, for
recruiting will boom now that action
seems probable.
The men reporting for duty this morn
ing may be given a comparatively broad
liberty until the regiment is duly
mustered in. This maN take the form,
the first few days, of being allowed to
return to their homes at night to re-
appear the following day.
Until orders are received from the
Commanding General, Department of the
East, 1t is not definitely known what dis
position will be made as to quartering.
Temporary quarters may be established
at the armory in L street, where full
equipment now IS stored.
Some belief was held that the troops
might be sent to a mobilization camp.
The camp vacated at Fort Myer was
mentioned as not unlikely. The coming
warm weather, ofiicers said. might be
favorable to establishing comfortable
quarters on the former site of the mill
tiamen's camp.
Brig. Gen. Harvey awaited specifications
as to assignment and other details from
the commander of the Department of the
East last night. These may be in his
hands today, he said, when definite an

The coming reunion of the Confederate

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

HILO, February 19--In the Hawaii
county Jail there is growing and NUT.
'tering among many Of the prisoners, es.
Ipecially the Filipinos, owing to the
treatment it is stated that one Of them,
Antonio Aramos, met with at the hands
of one Of the guards, said to be Antoine
Pavao, who is accused of striking the
Filipino with club without cause, ac
cording to the prisoners. j.. ...1,,r,
The matter has been called TO the at
tention of Sheriff Pua and to the prison
inspectors by District Court Clerk G.
Andrews, and they will probably mako
an investigation upon the return Of
Charles Il. Wright, who left last Mon.
day for Honolulu to attend the Gar.
nival celebration. ~. rs
According to the story told by Ara.
mos, he was standing with other prison.
ers in the courtyard, when he saw Pa.
vac beckOn and, thinking 1t might be
for him, he pointed to himself inquir.
ingly, and says that PaVao shook has
head. A little later Pavao is said to
have grabbed Aramos and dragged him
into a room or cell and upbraided him
for not answering to his call, and then
struck him over the head aud face with
a club, closing one eye, and also struck
him on the back of the right hand.
Pavao's side of the story has not yet
been obtained.
