ARMS FOR HAwAHANs.
The San Francisco Call Tells What IL
Knows of the Matter.

The San Francisco Call Tells what At |
Knows of the Matter.
NEW York. Aug. THE following
is from an article in the San Francisco
Call, which was telegraphed to The
World:
After intimating that certain Ha-
waiian known as ''Licurgas, the
Greek" is engaged in systematically
smuggling arms into Honolulu The
Call adds:
Rifles and cartridges have been sup
piled TO Honolulu. This The Call
knows. No seizure has been made OF
any such guns on the Hawaiian islands.
So does not everything point to clever
plot on the part of the Royalists In
Honolulu?
e The AIexander's Outfit.
When the false report was sent out
from Port Townsend that the Mohican
had been fired into by the fishing
steamer Alexander everybody inquired
regarding the latter vessel. Sunday
morning The Call told OF her curious
make. She sailed from here on a hunt
| ing and fishing cruise. She is OF $50
| tons burden and carried q crew of As
men. She sailed under the Hawaiian
flag and was booked as the property OF
Eta OF Honolulu.
| The Alexander carried the following
articles of warfare: Two six-pounder
rapid fire Hotchkiss guns, . rapid fire
four-pounder Hotchkiss guns, 100 Win
/ chester rides. 5000 rounds of rifle am
munition, 500 four-pound shells, 500
six-pound shells, adjustable gun car
riages, 8 Whitehead torpedoes and q
large quantity Of cutlasses and small
arms. II 10 positively known that this
boat sailed from here rigged for fight
in this manner.

they are crack shots.

Only Few congressman Have Yet
Arrived In Washington For the
Extra Session.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent says: Re-
garding the naval policy OF the present
administration. IL may be stated with
authority that Secretary Herbert will
advocate the construction Of more ships.
He will be conservative in his estimates,
but he still believes that we are some
distance from the point where we can
afford to stop the work of ship con-
struction. He has estimated that
Gil, 900, 900 will be required to complete
the AZ vessels built and building for the
new navy.
As this amount will be distributed
over the coming three years he can ad-
vocate the addition Of ship or two
each year during the present admins
tration without adding materially to
the annual appropriation for ship con
struction.
viii Outline a Policy.
1t is understood to be the intention OF
Secretary Herbert to outline definite
policy as to just what our new navy
should comprise. There will not be
any radical departures from the lines
laid down during Mr.. Whitney's ad
ministration and continued throughout
Mr.. Tracy's. Mr.. Herbert will have
two programmes-one showing thu
total number OF vessels of each type W,
should have when the new navy is com
pleted, and another for which an ap
preparation will be recommended :.
the coming congress. 1t is his opinion
that before calling halt we should .
leest reach the point whore we stood q
the close of the war. This was sixtl
