Hawaiian Preserves.

For some months past people in
the States and in certain of the
larger cities, such as Cleveland,
Ohio, having tasted various Ha-
waiian fruits and the products
thereof, have been discussing the
ACCESSIBILITY of extensive manufac-
turing and packing establishments
in Honolulu. In the opinion of
many of these, money invested in
this manner would surely bring
great profit. The facilities of the
soil has been a subject also much
discussed in connection with the
proposed scheme of setting up es-
Establishments on the islands. By
the Australia yesterday Mr.. w. c.
Weldon sent samples of poha and
guava jelly, pineapple preserves,
Kona coffee of three years stand
ing and pineapples, to parties in
Cleveland, Ohio, as an experiment.
In New York, Boston, San Fran
cisco and other large cities, guava
jelly has the reputation of ranking
in the topmost shelf of jellies.
Kona coffee is used by the princi-
pal restaurants in San Francisco.

Within a year it is confidential

aims new and most modern line
of defences at the southern eX-
tremity of Vancouver Island.
Never has a military undertaking
in time of profoundest peace been
prosecuted with stricter secrecy
than the construction of these for
tifications. and all that VictOrians
know about the marvellous system
of protection at their doors might
be told in few brief paragraphs
that the new forts are designed
for stern work, not for display;
that their armament will be the
most modern and best in the
world; that submarine mines and
torpedoes are a prominent feat
ure; that the "forts" are located
somewhere in the bowels of the
earth between Point Macaulay
and Esquimalt navy yard; that
the magazines are stocked for
siege if necessary, and that the
work of construction is now nearly
accomplished, and that of equip
ment has begun. How the forts
look from the shore none can say
save the uncOmmunicative officers
in charge, for in the past two
years the scene of operations has
night and day been surrounded by
a line of sentinels, to pass whom
nothing less than an order from
the Imperial War Office was re-
quired. The workmen, too, have
been changed about, so that it
would be impossible for any of
them. even should he feel so in
clined, to disclose the secrets of
the stronghold. And not even
the highest officers of the resident
militia have as vet been admitted
within the sacred precincts bound
ed by that faithful sentry line
In view of such an emergency the
headquarters militia companies
have, during the past year or so,
been put through course of spec
ial training by instructors from

teal artillery work being given
them, and their patriotic enthusi-
assn being strengthened by a |

new drill hall has been provided |

of the corresponding secretary is
valuable from the fact that it

before the society matters connect

WE ARE TO HAVE A CABLE

enlargement.
Eastern Capitalists willing to support
1.-THE scheme Considered Good.
President TO Recommend Aid.

From private advices tits learned
that Colonel Spalding has received
great encouragement from the capt.
talists in the East regarding his
cable scheme. The monied men of
New York, Boston and Washington
look upon cable to Hawaii as an
absolute necessity and should be
built by American capital, even
though it may not be paying in
vestment from the start.
Among the clubmen in New
York and Washington the impress
sion exists that operations will
begin even before the time allow
ance expires. The reasons for the
haste being due to the fact that
Honolulu is fast being recognized
as an important point both COM
mercially and strategic. The fact
that the situation in the Orient is
as it is and with nothing to lead
the people in the United States to
feel that it will be permanently
settled very soon brings to them a
realization OF the Importance of a
trans-Pacific cable.
President Cleveland has been
spoken to on the subject and has
expressed himself as favorable to
the scheme, and from his remarks
it is believed he will favor SUBJ
stantial assistance.
The news received are considered

What did the First Battalion Of
the National Guard OF Hawaii dc
last night? Well, they just didn't
do a thing but show the crowds on
Union Square what the correct
definition of drilling is.
Even before Z o'clock the men Of
Companies A, B, c and E, consti,
tuting the First Battalion, collected
in the drill hall preparatory tc
formation for the battalion drill
When the companies were formed
it was found that only those with
good excuses were absent.
Professor Berger had his band out
in full force and every man was in
excellent condition to blow a hard
blow, but a sweet one. And the
drum corps which followed the
band seemed ready for the most
intricate performances on the drum.
Promptly at 7:30 o'clock the
band, followed by the four COM
panies, marched out of the shed
and down to Union Square.
Preceded by the band the bat
talon passed in review before Col
onel Mclean, every platoon show
ing a straight front and the dis
lance between each one never
varying. Perhaps in all previous
drills the work of the men never
showed to such good advantage as
that of last night. Every officer
seemed to be on the alert for any
mistake on the part OF the men.
But they found occasion for few
words. Colonel McLean's face
beamed with pleasure as the last
platoon passed by.
After review followed the dress
parade in which Colonel Mclean
commanded. The manual of arms
was performed as if by one sol
der.
Then came the battalion drill
commanded by Major Mcleod. Up
and down and all over the square
marched the battalion performing
the movements with precision and
earning Just commentator from
the spectators. At S:45 the bat
talon marched down King, up
Fort, on to Hotel and back to the
drill shed where the band played
