FRUIT FOR FLEET. Honolulu Donates Liberally to Officers and Men ot Battleships. Honolulu. July 21.—A feature of the entertainment of the fleet Sunday was the presentation of hundreds of tons of fruit and delicacies of all kinds to the various battleships.

A generous supply of iced fruit and plenty of reading matter was sent to the island, where 850 men of the Nebraska are in quarantine, the entertainment committee being determined not to for get any one. Sunday has been a quiet day with the men of the Atlantic battleship fleet. Out side of the star games, which took place at the league ground, and which hun dreds of sailors attended, there was little in the way of formal entertainment ex cept excursions to Pearl harbor, many of the men taking advantage of the op portunity to inspect the site of the naval station that is being planned.

On every hand they were welcomed by the citizens and found hospitable entertainment wherever they sought it.
