OUR BOYS AT HAWAII.
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.

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.

But still Mr. Kennedy was iu high spirits

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

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'.

backs, and a.4. to be vaccinate-!, all of
