The Volunteer Soldiers Write of Their Handsome Recep tion by Honolulu People. "Letters from the boys!" This joyful acclaim spread through the streets Tues day upon tne arrival of the east side mail. The anxiously awaited messages from our volunteers from home who sail ed to the aid of the gallant Dewey Uad come at last and mothers, fathers, sis ters, brothers and friends read with eager interest every lif e penned on shipboard orin the legislative l allsof the Hawaiian capital. Many items in these letters will be of public interest and permission has been kindlv riven to nnbhrh excerpts from the letters. A letter to tke GAZETTE from George Cronkite, bugler with Co. F-, Oregon Volunteers reads thus: Honolulu, H. I., June 3. 1S9S. Last Wednesday evening our troop's arrived at Honolulu and great was the excitement we created. The people nocked tolhe wharves to see us and all Jay ye-terday we were cheered an 1 petted and treated to good things until at night we Vad filled up all the slack in oar waist-bands occasioned by sea sick ness. But today, June 3d, we are having the time of all times. Honolulu is a very, Tery, pretty place with its luxuriant growth of palm-, bananas ai:d man groves besides all manner of other plants and trees whose names I cansot spell. The climate here is perfection. It is not so warn as we ex; ected to find it, althoush it is warm en nigh and after having been treated to everything we could possibly wish for, ti e boys say that Vonolnlu is decidedly a "hot" town aud they don't "Dewey" thing 1 ut have an old time every night. But I was going to tell you what is happening tday. At 11:30 a. ni. we were marched off the boat: and up to the palace which ns-d to as the residence of Queen "Lil." Here the l.cl'es of Honolulu had gathered to-rethr a multi tude of delicacies and substantia s for us to eat. Over twm thousand men sat down to one of the finest dinners you ever saw. I can't begin to describe it, but we had everything we wishe l to eat aud -rink and smoke. One of the fea tures was the coffee, grown on a planta tion iu sight of Honolulu. I have just finished eating and came here to the senate chamber to write. I asi seated i-. the president's chair and just opposite me is a lilc size oil panning of Queen "Lil" and just back of me is a similar portrait of the King who von remember died in '90 or '91 and was brought over to Honolulu by the cruiser Charleston. I hav not explored the palace yet, so I will have to give you an account of that later. By the way my tiinj is up so I must c'.oe. We leave here toraorro v and my next letter will be maile ! from iC Philippines. GE0RG3 H. CROSKIT3. MAX Y WKRE SKASICK. Eiwood Clark writes his mother oc board the Australia before reaching Hon olulu: 'Near'y all of us were seasicl . I va; sick :i day and a half, pretty sick too, but a :i feeling all right new aud am having lots of fan with the sick boys. Ed drier was one of the" sickest lads I ever saw tut is better nsw. One of our boys in blue died oa the Pekin. A sa lute :s fired and the p-or boy lowered into tne great broad ocean." From Honolulu he writes; "We ha.e just finished a big dinner given us by thi poop!.- of Honolulu and it was 'i n mense.' Everything imaginable on the tabic aid everything tree ta us. I am now 011 uie stc.-.mer and have had or ders from Captain Warrick to go down town and get some of the boys who have 'lunched' too freely so will have to close, get some men together and go after them. All we band boys have state rooms, the same as officers, but the pri vates are in the bottom of the vessel." A THOUGHTFUL WOMAX. Flwood Clark's mother feels the deep est gratitude toward a womaHly woman of Honolulu, the wife of the Inspector General of Schools, a stranger who had the grace to write the following letter: Honolulu, June 3, 1898. Mrs. R. N. Clark, Corvallis, Oregon. Dear Mrs. Clark: Today 1 met your boy, Elwood, at the reception given for the "Boys in Blue" and I told him I would write to you. My heart went out to all the dear American boys and es pecially to the mothers who had to let their boys jo. Your boy told me how hard it was was for you to let him go, but be goes with such courage and brav ery that you can Hot help being proud of such a boy. I talked with him avid a friend ot his, Arthur Stimpson, less than half an hour, but the boys were in such gay spirits flavin; had such a hearty luueh tint nothing more in the eating line could te-Jpt them. I wanted to pin a badge an year bo : 's coat,but as all were gone, I to'd him I would enclose ove to you. (A 1 re.ty satin badge with the flags of the I". S. and Hawaii was en closed.) I shall e.nleavor to follow the career of vo ir boy through the war. If he returns to you or if it falls ill with him and you feel you could let me know, I would be indeed glad ta have you write. I am a mother, bat my oldest I boy is only eight and the trial ef sending j him t fight lor his country is not mine yet. I wiili iou eouid haye seen the j boys today. They were having, sack a, erood time so oxl that they will c:me ; back th'u way, we hope. God bless you and return your loved one safely to your arms with heartfelt aloha to you an.-l yours. Cora E. Towicsend. biska.sk enjoys it. Hermann Breyer, belter ki;wn as Bis mark wrote Carl Hodes that he enjoyed the trip from Sih Francisco to Hawaii and was delighted w ith the grtat recep tion accorded the toys at Honolulu.

SOLDIERS LIFi NOT ALL PLAY. W. ' ; Kennedy informs prcspective volunteers, thr :ugh a letter to his brother Every man going into the army should take as his motto "drill ye terriers, drill. But still Mr. Kennedy was iu high spirits a:jd enjoyed himself. He was not sick a minute on the trip, aor, he savs, was "Bismark." He was rapturous in his praise of Honolulu and says he is going there to live when the war is over. FROM SERGEANT THURSTON. Gyp Thurston wrote to Brady Burnett before his arrival at Honolulu and amo-tg ether things said: 'We have two cases of measles on board, Noel and Delashi-nutt (both O. A. C. boys). We will get to Honolulu to morrow and if we are not allowed to laudldau't kmw what we will do, for most of the boy.-, are more than li "If starved.

One big btfggar fai -.ted be tore they got to him. I expect ur company will get it today." FOUND WATER IN THE OCEAN. ' Lee Travis, the well known state uni versity boy, writes interestingly to Julian McFadden: "We sailed May 25th an .1 haven't seen any land since. This ocean is a bigger .-.ffair than the geography would lead one to believe. I tell you there is a deuce of a lot of water in it. It seems to be the policy to keep out of the ordinary course of commerce and we see nothing but the Peking, starboard, and the Sydney on the port side. One day we pa-.sed through a shoal of flying fish; one landed on deck and we ex amined him. He :as about a foot leng aud had very large fins. Half of the boys wer-- fearfully sic' and this was a sour smelling ship for several days. I wasn't sick though I sent b.-.ck a meal or two, but I had plenty of lemons and pepsin chewing gum, which are excellent preventives. Our grub is devilish poor bacon, po tatoes, hardtack and straight coffee, and even of that they will not gi-re a man all he wants to eat. But we have a midnight feast now and then, which helps. The f.llows nearly had a meeting, so last night we had some rice. We haven t had a bit of bread for rations -iuce we left Camp McKinley. We wouldn't care if we did not think some was nuking money off of us. Yesterday we. all were commanded, 1st, to ta'.ie r.n oc;a water ba'.h ::: a large canvas tu'. pumped full; 2nd, to !o;'. cv.r dirty un derclothes as some cuss aboard had gray backs, and a.4. to be vaccinate-!, all of ! which vre duly did."
