A. W. Kocoh in obargo of the
Engineers Department, of Ihe In-
"tor-Island Co., is an enthasiaston
.-the proposition of having a naval
,.--'" reserve in Honolulu. Ho has
papors and is securing tho names
of those who have an idea they
would like to beeomo members,
aud is now casting about for more
information in the matter so that
hn will be able to Bpeuk more in
telligently to those whom he ap
proaches. Speaking of tho matter
veatorday, Mr. Koccu saw:
"lam iniavor of having a naval
rfiRorvn becanao.it will furnish to
many young men here, both in
airnntion and nleasuro and will
also sorve as a protecting force,
fully competent to aid whatever
land forces might happened to bo
stationed hero.
"The men who join will not
have to Baorifice any of the timo
thoy need for their respective call
ings. In fact, a naval reserve is
of vorv much tho satno nature as
militia. It will certainly be more
congenial.
"There is no doubt that tho
Unilod States will send out a ship
with a competent naval officer to
give instructions, should success
be mot with in forming a naval
reservo bore."

Tho .water that is sprinkled on

soldiers iu tho Ouban and Forto
Rican campaigns was unfit for
uso, convoneu in mis oity touay.
lieforo the bearing began, Major
Leo said he beliovod Govornor
Roosevelt would bo the only wit
ness beard hero.
Upon his arrival, Govornor
RooBevelt shook hands with sev
eral member? of tho court and
then took the stand, after Col.
Davis had administered tho oath.
"When was the first complaint
you heard of tho rations?" asked
Oolonol Davis.
"May I answer that in my own
way" asked tho govornor.
"Uortainly."
"Well, it waB aboard ship at
Tampa. I saw a man, I think bis
name was Ash, I know be camo
from Kentuoky throwing away a
can of tho eo-callod roast beef. I
askod what wai tho matter and be
said ho could not eat it. I told
him not to bo a baby, and that
ho did not volunteer for a good
time and ought to be able
to take what camo. I thought no
moro of tho mattor until I heard
that complaints were being made
on all sides. Thon I mado in
quiries and was told that the roast
beef was part of the regular ration
aud thata all tho yoluntoera.woro
complaining.
"I spoko to Colonel Wood about
it and said it was tho regular
ration. I ate a mouthful, or two,
myself, but I could not oat it."
Governor Roosevelt spoko of the
issue of rations in Cuba and said
that although ho did not liko the
beof and his men would not eat it,
he never heard anyone say it was
an "unfit ration."
"What did the meat look liko ?"
aBked Davis.
"When tho cans wero opened,
thore was a covering of slime. It
was unattraotivo. Tho meat was
stringy and it did not agree with
the men who ato it."
"Gould you not eat it, when
served with onions and potatoes."
"I think at that limo I could
have eaten my hat, if I could havo
hadonionB and potatoes. Tho men
would havo eaten anything with
fresh vegetables. They stowed
tho meat with mangoes aud ate
it. Some of tho mon seemed to
eat the meat without difficulty or
distress, but it was not suitable
for sick or half sick men."
Governor Roosovelt told at
length of his attempts to got sup
plies in UUU4. no repeated
statements no made to tho army
investigating oommitteo, as to his
attempts to organizo a transporta
tion train to bring supplies to his
men from oiboney.
"When did you boy in receiving
refrigerated beef," asked Colonol
Davis.
"About July 22, when ashore
about a mouth."
"Wero the supplies regular?"
"Sometimes. Wo received them
about noon."
"What was their condition whon
you received tbem ?"
"Tuqir condition aB a rulo was
good. The outside was some
times bad, but it seemed awfully
good to us ?

THE ARMY REORGANIZATION
Washington, Moroh 25. The
War Department has beon asked
if some of the volunteer regimonts
returning from Cuba, which wore
organized aa immunes could bo
ro-enlisted in their entirety. It
was stated that some of theso re
giments dosiro to so onlist and bo
uehi'to tho Philippines.
In reply tho department says'
that such enlistments canot be
mado. Tho temporary ro-onliet-monts
provided for under tho
army law aro to bo mado from
volunteer troops now serving in
tho Philippines, who will bo sub
ject to immediate muster out as
soon as tho ratihcation of the
poaco troaty is proclaimed.
It is oxpooted that General Otis
will organizo a brigado or moro of
these mon. Tho organizations
will bo ontiroly now and
no semblanco of tho former
State regiments will bo maintain
ed. It is possiblo that some of
tho volunteer officers of tho State
militia who havo shown great
aptitude in military matters will
be givon commissions in the tem
porary regiments to be organized
in the Philippines.
Theso now rogimonts will not
be kept in servioo very long un
less the situation in the Philip
pines beoomes much worse. Tho
belief is oxprosnod that this is
not likely, as the reports from
General Otis for a week or ten
days havo indioatod an early col-
tuoflapao of the rebellion in Luzon.
The temporary organizations will
be rotained until tho regular
troops now under orders for Ma
nila reaob that plaoo.

Santiago Do Cuba, March 25.
There has boen considerable
troublo from banditti in tho last
few days in tho vicinity of San
Luis.
Whon it was reported General
Wood, Military Govornor, sont
monnted troops, as well as tho en
tiro force of gendarmes into tho
district with instructions to cap
ture tho bandits if possible Thoy
met with no success, but finally
Lieutenant Hanna, General
Wood's aide, wont to San Luis to
mako a personal investigation,
with tho result that within twenty
four hours tho ringleador, Fran
cisco Dieguez and fivo others wero
captured and later to moro taken
and one killed while resisting
arrest.
All are now closoly guarded in
tho military prison hero, tho jail
not boing considered safe, owing
to the friendship felt for the
prisoners by soveral prominent
insurgent officets residing in San
tiajjo. Colonel Francisco Valionte,
chief of Goneral Wood's gendar
merie, lias resigned nis position.
Throo days ago ho left for San
Luis to try tolocato tho bandits.
Three mon accompanied him.
After thoy had proceeded a short
distance Colonol Yaliente ordered
the mon to roturn, saying: "If
wo should bo attacked by bandit
ti, wo would havo to fight; but if I
wero alono, I could talk with them
and get away safoJy,
Finally, as tho story goes, tho
bandits captured him, hold a court
martial and sentenced him to
death, but finally rolontod and re
leased hici Thjs tale is common
talk at tho Cuban Club aud is
generally believed. Anyway,
Colonol Valiento's resignation
seems to give it color. Ho is
eitbor ont of tho city or in hiding.
Tho now ohief of gondarmorie
is Colonol Juan Vian. Tho gen
darmerie in the San Luis district
are now nnder tho orders of
Lieutenant Butts, who is in com
mand of a mounted troop of'tbo
Fifth Regulars. Groat satisfac
tion is felt in this part of the
province at the capture of so
many bandits.
