8 o'clock, and Company C, Fifth liattnlion.
perfoimod well the ceremony for exterior
guard in the afternoon.
At tho first drill call, 9 o'clock, all the
officers In uimp reported to Capt.. Con

tillery, -who put them through a course of
Instruction In the extended order drill for
an hour and a. halt For the time being,
captains and ! ntenant-i became corporali
nnd privates, and Major Simon son became
temporarily a sergeant for a squad. The
drill was an Instructive one, and at its
rinish the officers put their companies
through the "sprouts" for an additional
hour and a half The drills were credit
able, and will probably be repeated today
Flans for the field day have not yet
been formulated, nor has it !een decided
Just at wluit boar camp will be broken,
though It will probably -be In the forenoon
of Saturday.
A large number of visitors were in cmp
yesterday and weut over to the parade
ground to witness dress parade, which was
commanded by Col. Cecil Clay. Lieut
Col Urcll again commanded the Second
Regiment
The camp of instruction of the brigade
for 1S97 will be remembered as the most
soldierly, most orderly, and most instruc
tive of those heretofore held. Tile army
offirers detailed for duty with the brigade
have taken an unusual interest In nur
-various duties, and the men have shown
n commendable zeal and anxiety to learn
any and everything pertaining to the
duties of a soldier. The camp is always
quiet and orderly after taps, and it is the
rarest thing to be obliged to order lights
out. The order compelling men to we.ir
coats buttoned at all times when out of
company streets Is well observed, and
the men in consequence when oft duty
present a far better appearance -than thoy
would otherwise The improvement In
drill and discipline has been particu
larly marked, and the duties of sentinels
have been better performed than ever
before.
The reluctance of the men to go through
the long extended-order drill of the morn
ing was the cause of several clashes lie
twecn the officers and men. In Company D,
Second Battalion, three privates skipped
the drill, and were later ordered by Capt
Stutz to march up and down the company
streets for fifteen minutes carry ug a
etick of wood in place of the musket. At
first this was legarded as a joke by the
culpritF, but later, when a small crowd
gathered to -watch their promenade, they
grew tired, and two of them refused to
continue Capt. Stutz at once ordered a
cciporal and guard to convey the recalci
trants to the guardhouse There was some
-iiuestlon as to whether Capt. Stutz did not
exceed the limit of his powers in imposing
such n penalty, and upon the matter being
Tef erred to Col May, the officer of the day,
he informed Capt Stutz that the penalty
was a somewhat too severe one. He also
stated to Capt. Stutz that matters of
that kind should properly be referred to the
major of the battalion.
AttJ.e request of Capt Stutz the two dls
obediert privates were released.
The intense heat of the day furnished
more work for the hospital corp than at
any time jdnce the opening of the camp.
Fix cases were treated at tho hospir.nl,
all of them being more or less the result
of the heat.
Capt. Clarence V. Sayrc, of Company C,
Firth Battalion, is one of the patients, and
he Is being treated Tot bowel complaint.
Corp. Roliert L. Murch, Company D, Firth
Battalion, was treated for chills and dis
charged. Trlvate A. Burga, Company C,
First Battalion, and Sergt. Sncerten, also.
of CompanvC,Firrt Batallon, were treated
for bowel complaints. Private Martin Me
Dmiels, or the IlospUal Corps, was treated
Tor gastritis, and discharged. Sergt. W P.
Keane, Company C, or the Engineer Bat
talion, was treated for weakness, and also
dhrharged.
Surgeon General Henderson, in his daily
report, stated that the sanitary condi'Jon
of the camp was excellent, and that, with
one or two minor cai-cs of neglect tn caring
for the sinks, he had no fault to find.
The food, he stated, was wholc-orae and
good.
The bridge over the ravine which hi.s
been under course of -construction by the
Engineer Battalion for two days, was
finished today. It is censidered an ex
cellent example of military engineering.
This morning a battalion will be matched
over the Mructure on a double-quick, in
order to test Its strength. The spans or
the bridge are 30 feet in length, 2G feet
high, and the roadbed 0 feet in widUi.
The tamd is improving dally, if there is
room for any sucli thing. Its music pos
sesses the swing and cadence so necessary
to the march, and the members are to be
congratulated on their very creditable
-work The music Is always a source of
favorable comment by the visitors to the
camp.
For the third .successive day the camp
-was visited by a furious thunderstorm
early last evening. The electric displav
was especially brilliant and the ra'nfall
was also heavy. The roads through the
camo are consequently in an exceedingly
bad condition.

MULLi PL AC ED 01 TRIAL
Navy Yard Commandant Charged
With intoxication.
THE SPECIFICATIONS READ
The Accused Answers "Not Guilty."
Stories of Intemperance Alleged
to Have Been Inspired by Per
sonal Animosity The Testimony
of n Hotel Clerk Submitted'.
Commander Dennis Mullon, United States
Navywas placsd on trial before a general
court-martial at the Washington navy yard
yesterday afternoon. The charges on
'which he is beiug tried are those of
intoxication on and off duty, while the ac
cused was serving as commandant of the
Pensnoola navy yard, during the summer
aud fall or 188C and the ensuing winter
of '8G and '87.
The flr.r charge or Intoxication orf duty
contains seven speciricatlona alleging
specific cases of intoxication at the Eh
carnbia notol at Pensacola, aud on the
cars of the Pensacola Traction Company.
The second charge, that of iutoxicatiou on
duty, contains six specificat ons alleging
specific cases of Intoxication at the Pcif&a
oola navy yard.
It Is charged that Commander Mullan
i-.us under tne luiluenee of strong urmfc
when he fsumed command of the navy
yard, and that he was also under the
iullucuce of liquor wheu he was relieved.
One of the specifications of the econd
charge alleges that the commander was
intoxicated while entering the steam
launch at the navy yard on au occasion
duly specified.
Tne deie.ise expects to prove that these
charges are gioundless and incidentally
may show that they were inspired by
personal animosity.
Tiie comiiosition of the court-martial Is:
Juilg.; advocate, Lie-t. C. II. Laucitc-Imer,
IT. S. M. C-, president or the court. Commo
dore Charles S. Norton, commandant of
Washington navy yard; Capt. John C
Watson, U- S. N.; Capt. Silas W. fferry,
U. S. N.; Capt. Francis J. Hlggiuson,
Capt. Merrill Miller, U. 8. N.; Capt. William
C. Wise, U. S. N; Capt. Purncll F. Har
rington, U S. N-
ludgc Advocate Laucheimer, of the of
flce or judge ndvocate general, wasamong
the early arrivals at the trial. Soon arter
Commodore Norton came in, and the
other officers arrived in good season.
Most of them camo In civilian dress, but
brought their unirorms In satchels and
paper-wrapped cases
Attorneys McCammon and Haydeu, coun
sel Tor tlie accused, came early. Capt
John Mullan, brother to Commander Mul
lan, was with the attorneys, and displayed
an arfectionate lntereht in the cause of
his brother. Capt Mullan explained to
the reporter for The Times that this
court-mat Mai was ordered by the Secre
tary of the Navy, at the earnest solicita
tion of Commander Mullan, and certain
coi ret-pondeiice which was read during the
progress of the trial confirmul tills btate
nient. Capt. Mullan stated that these
htories of Intoxication bad been originated
by a lot of women at the navy yard
at Pen-sacola. The stories had been given
considerable ciiculatlon, and a court of
Inquiry had been ordered at theTensacoIa
navy yard. But, said Capt John Mullan.
the commander Is an applicant for pro
motion to the rank of captain, and will
soon apply for examination in consequence
of the vacancies which will follow the re
tirement of Admiral Brown. The com
mander demanded that the charges against
him be tried according to martial law,
tli at there might be no stain upon his
name or record.
The accused entered the courtroom a
few mluutes before 1 o'clock and sat with
his counsel. He wore the full uniform of
a commander, and bore himself mauf ully.
He responded to questions in a firm and
respectfnl manner, and evinced no trace
of nervousness.
Commodore Norton culled the court to
order at 1:113.
The cliarges and specifications were
read, and as the Judge advocate turned to
ask ths; accused to plead Attorney Hayden
objected and presented a motion that sped
ficatii.n No. 7 and charge No. 1 be stricken
out on the ground that they were uncertain
as to time and place. Attorney McCammon
read from the rules and regulations of the
Navy in support of tills motion. Tho judge
advocate was ready with a mass of au
thorities and arguments to prove that the
specification was sufficiently exact as to
time and place.
A warm debate ensued between the
prosecution and the defense on the ques
tion of the exactitude of the specifi
cation. Thecourtroom was ordered cleared
of all but the judges while they should
consider the motion made by the defense.
After due consideration, Commodore Nor
ton announced that the court had sustained
the point niade by counsel for defense
and that specification 7 and charge 1
would be stricken out. This specirica
tion was that Commander Mullan had been
seen intoxicated bj' a certain officer in the
Navy. The time and place were not
stated
Then the judge advocate called upon
the accused to plead and as each speci
fication -was read, the accused responded
"Not guilty."
The judge advocate then read a letter
addressed to him by the Navy Department,
inclot-ing a letter written by Commander
Mullan, requesting that a court-martial be
called to try the accusations agalust him
The judge advocate also read considerable
corropoudence which pated between Sec
retary Long, Commander Mullan and the
attorneys of the latter, preliminary to the
court-martial.
The testimony of the following witnesses
for the prosecution was then taken; Lieut.
Bull.U. S.N .-Paymaster Jewett, U. S. N.;
Dr Gorgas.TJ. S. A.; Lieut. Jervey, U.S.
A.; Capt. Cotton, U. S. A.; Clerk Walter
Atzinger, Mr. T. V. Kcssler, Di. Harris,
U S. N.
Judge Advocate Laucheimer then pro
ceeded for the prosecution. Be began by
reading the testimony that was taken by
the court of inquiry which was heldat Pen
sacola. First came the testimony bearing
upon specification No 1 of chargeNo. 1. It
was the testimony of Clerk Cecil Maddox,
of the Escambia Hotel. Florida. Jdaddox
testified that Mullan waslntoxlcatedat the
hotel and had .a whisky breath. As to the
second specificatlqn, the testlmonvof Henry
E. Jewett. passed assistant paymaster on
duty at the Pensacola navy yard at the
time when Commander Mullan was com
mandaut there, was read. He had seen
the accused Intoxicated .at the Escambia
Hotel.
The court-martial was adjourned at 2
o'clock .to meet at 10 o'clock this morn- j

the Harrison Administration. This is the
text or the article:
''The government of the Hawaiian Isl
ands also cedes and transfers to the United
States the absolute fee and ownership of
all public, government or crown lands, pub
lie buildings or edifices, ports, harbors,
fortifications, military or naval equipments
and all other iridic property of every klud
and description belonging to the govern
inent of the Hawaiian Isiauds,v together
with everv riKht and'appurtennuce there
unto appertaining. .
"The esistiup layre of the United States
relative to public land shall not apply to
such lands in the Hawaiian Islands, but
the Congress or the United States shall
enact special laws foV their management
and dl-pt-fiition: Provided, that all reve
nue from or proceeds' of the same, except
as regard? such' part thwof as may be
n?ed or occupied for the civil, military
or naval purposes of the United States
or may be assigned to the use of the local
government, shall be" used solely for the
benefit of the inhabitants of the Hawaiian
Islands, for educational and other public
purposes."
The most Important difference between
the proposed treaty and that negotiated
hy Mr. Uarritoa is In ajtide 3. The Har
riHoa convention required the appointment
of a commissioner by the President, who
.should be confirmed by the Senate. This
commissioner was to have power to veto any
net ot Hawaiian government, and "an act
disapproved by him shall thereupon be
void aud of no effect, tinier approved by
the President "
This provision is stricken out and tho
vetoing power is placed entirely in the
President's hands. He is required to pass
upon all acts passed by the Hawaiian legi
lature. This article provides that Hawaii
sluill be a Territory of the United States.
The existing laws in Hawaii are to remain
In force subject to the authority of the
United States, until Congress, as soon as
possible art'-r the ratirication or treaty,
bhall extend to the Hawaiian islands the
laws of the United States.
That portion of this article in the oU
Harrison treaty relating to the commercial
relations of Hawaii with the United States
and foreign countries, and the foreign
relations of Hawaii with foreign countries,
Is entirely stricken out. The article In
the nivr treaty is so worded as to mafcear
rangenients for keeping intact the com
mercial relations of Hawaii with the rest
of the world until Congress shall take
action.
Consular representatives of foreign powers
in Hawaii -will secure exequatcurs from the
United States.
Article 4 of the treaty is practically as
follows:
"The fui tiler immigration ot Chinese
laborens Into the Ha waiiau Islands is her.iby
prohibited until Congress shall otherwise
piovide. Furthermore, Chinefce persons
of the rowclasses now or hereafter excluded
by law from entering the United states
will not be permitted to come from the Ha
waiian IMands to other parts of the United
States, and if so coming .shall be subject to
the same pcnaldes as if entering from a
foscign country."
By aiticle D the United States agrees to
assume the public debt of Hawaii, "law
fully existing at the date of exchange of
ratification of treaty;" but the "liability
of the United Statesin thisregaxd shallin
no case exceed $-1 ,000,000."
Former Queen Liliuokalani and the Prin
cess JLaiaulanl were provided for in the
Harrison treaty, the first to securer pen
sion of $20,000 Junuallyduringlifcand the
latter thelump iurn ot $150..000. Neither
of thce prsonaisas is mentioned in the
new" treaty.
The last artlcleol the tieaty.proyldes that
it. shall be ratified by the President of the
United States bjy and .with the advice and
consent of the Seua.te ou the. one .part and
the government of Hawaiian Islaads on the
other. The treaty does not yet contain
the place of exchange of ratifications, tlUs
point not ypt having been determined.
Tho Japanese 'government has expressed
to the .Stale HeparUnentits dissatisfaction
with the treaty by making a provisional
protest The Xapdiiese minister, when
he called at the State Department, .said
that he of course, did not .know .the pio

A. G. WOLF, Receiver
Hawaii. He merely desired to call the
attention or this government to the fact
that these treaty rights do exist, and the
Japanese government will expect them to
be recognized
He alio spid this his country Is now en
gaged in a controversy with Hawaii con
cerning the Japanese treaty rights, and
he desired to lenow if this government,
should Hawaii be annexed, will assume
the responsibility for the violation of the
treaty with Japan by the Hawailans.
The protest was more in the nature of
an inquiry, but beneath it all Is an im
plied threat that If Japan Is not accorded
what she wants, bhe will insist by Torce,
if necet-sary, to obtalu It. It is Lelieved
that, when t he treaty is made public Japan
will file a formal protest.
Discussing the political lelatiuns of
Hawaii In the United States, cx-llinister
Thurston says: "A host of American
itatesnm have favored the control ot
Hawaii, among them Presidents l.Hmore,
Pierce, Buchanan. Johnson, Grant. Arthur
and Harrison, and Secretaries of State Web
ster, lAgare. Huchauan, Clayton, ilarcy,
Seward, Fish, Illaine and Foster, to say
nothing ofv United States ministers and
prominent Army and Naval officers.
"With Hawaii in the hands of any hostile
power, the only coaling station from
Nicaragua to Hong Kong, and from San
Frnncinco to Samoa, Avould be closed to
American cruisers, anil made a center from
which hostile descents could be made upon
the Pacific coast, mid Its commerce de
stroyed. With Ha wail in the control ot the
United Suites the base ot supplies of a
hostile naval force is thrown back to the
entire width of the Pacific a practically
piohlbitlve distance, as coal enough would
have to l carried to fcteam vessels the
Pacific and return, a disrance of from
7,000 to S.000 miles, to say nothing of coal
consumption in operating on the Pacific
coast, a quantity far beyond the -capacity
or any wandiip in existence. American
control or Hawaii Is, therefore, a practical
insurance against naval attack on the
Pamtic coast and on shipping in that
vicinity."
One or two of the expressions in Presi
dent Harrison's letter transmitting the
previous treaty are especially applicable
at this time. Among other things Mr.
Harrison said:
"The imluenee and interest of the
Uuited States in the islands must be
increased and not diminished. Only two
courses are now open; one the establish
ment of a protectorate by the United States
and the other annexation, full and complete.
1 think the latter course, which has been
aoopted in the treaty, will be highly pro
motive of the bChtinterests or the Hawaiian
people, and is the only oue that will ade
quately secure the iDterets of the "United
States. These interests are not wholly
selrish. It is essential that aone or the
other great powers shall secure these
islands. Such a possession would not
consist ivith our safety nnd with the
peace of the world. This view of the
situation is so apparent and conclusive
that no protect has been heard from
any government against proceedings look
ing to annexation!"
"There is no doubt in my mind," said
Senator Perkins of California, discusMog i
the Hawaiian question, without regard to
annexation, "that the present treaty with
the Hawauans gives all the advantage to
that people In 1876, when the treaty
went into effect, they imported to this
country 13,000 tonb of sugar. Under the
influence of that treaty, which naturally
lands all the Hawaiian sugars in this
country, tlie pioductlon had increase Jast
year to 227,000 tons, and there is every
probabdity that, by next year, .this output
of the Hawaiian Islands will .aggregate
300.000 tons. Nowherocansugarbe roiid
so cheaply as in Hawaii, and every pound
of it competes with the beet sugar or
this country, and particularly that of the
West
"The conditions have changed wonder
fully since that treaty was negotiated. 1
Every time our tarirfis changed ot modi
fied, this treaty should be .modified to
coriespond to it There may have been
some pretext for the treaty In the first
place, but tlie enorjmous increase of the
Hawaiian sugar crop makes it Impossible
for the United States to langei .donate
this bounty of between eight and nine
millions of dollars .annually. The expenses .
.of our (Government are steadily increasing,
and, wheji it Is a serious question where
the .revenue J.s to come from to aieet
them, we should not hesitate to curtail ;
this donation in .some decree.
"J believe ourtjatlej-elaUoas with Hawaii :
ought to be maintained, but I also believe
that the conditions aieed modification. The'
Hawailans could not object ito the .impost-''
tion of a proportional part of tlie sugar
dirties levied on other nugajs., assessed
against them. Under the pending bill the
luty on ugar similar to that which comes
from Hawait is 11-2 cents a pound. I
would put a duty on Hawaiian sugar of
oriB-haLf.a cent.tipound.ar $10 a shortton.
This would, on the .basis of the last year's
importations, -net us a -revenue of $2,
227..000 ,and equalize, to some .extent, the
one-sided .character of the present ar
rangement. We need that revenue badly""
"How do the -people of California look ,!
tuponthe treaty? Are theyan favor or op
posed to it''' Air. Perkins was .asked
"They are divided,"' rreplied JMr. Per
kins. "The agricultural sections believc
that the existence ot this treaty is atand
'hrg menace tntheir sugar-baetbusinesaud
they -want the treaty abrogated aud a 'duty
placed-upon the Hawaiian product lor their
protection. In the commercial centers,
among the iiumiifacturers.'and merchants,
4iud in the various commercial lorganiza
tirms, I believe "the sentiment is .favorable
to its continuation.

continue to compete with beet sugar grow
ers?" 'Yes. that is true,1' replied the Senator,
"and there would doubtless be a division
of sentiment among our people on thatsub
ject. If the subject comes up, aud we
arc told that it will, I shall give it such
consideration as will enable me, I hope, to
assist in doing that "which Is best for tho
Interests of the "whole country. Of course,
if Hawaii were annexed there would be
more compensating advantages that we
do not now have We would extend our
tarirr laws to the islands and tollect the
revenues; we would own the islands, and
we would have the same interest In them
that we have now In every other section
or our territory. With our own tarirr laws
In force there the cost of making sugar
would be somewhat increased, and that
would render the competition with our
own beet-sugar less sharp.
"Should the ex-Queen, In your opinion
he granted a pension by this Government?"
Senator Perkins was asked.
"I heiieve she would be entitled to it.
There are valuable properties in the island
known as the lower lands, from which
the ex-Queen formcily derived a Iaige
revenue. True, she was deposed, but as
a matter of common justice, I think this
country, in the event of annexation, should
seethat this former ruler wasprovldedfor."
