REpU UBLIC'S FLAG STILL WAVES
OVER HAWAII.
But the End is Not Net--A Naval Of
ficer Makes Some Significant Pur-
chases of Flags.

While the rumored seizure of these
Islands by the United States as n
coaling station, which was referred to
in The Star exclusively yesterday, has
not taken place, there are those who
believe that it will take place, and
that at no distant date. 1t was eX-
pected that those high i'm authority
would poopoo the idea. for il is not
usual to confess to such state secrets,
but because the flag has not been rails
ed today, does not signify anything.
There may be something significant
however in the fact that an officer of
the L. 5. 5. Bennington went through
the city a few days ago and tried to
buy number of large American flags.
He succeeded in securing one 10X10
feet, from a prominent dealer and
said he would take half a dozen or
more if he could get them. When
told that an order could he quickly
filed at the Coast. he replied that he
must have the flags at once, and could
not wait for a steamer. Small flags
were not wanted.
The Star can vouch for this story,
but not for the many rumors that
were on the streets yesterday and this
morning. 1t is accepted as a certain
! ty by people who ought to know that
the Islands will be seized as soon as
| war is declared

ANOTHER PROGRESS BLOCK.
Plans to Enlarge the New Building to
Double Its Size.

c. S. Desky has decided to enlarge
the Progress Block, if the war news
received by the next steamer from the
Coast is not such as to discourage the
further investment of capital here.
The demand for offices and stores in
the handsome new building has been
so great that the owner considers
that he can easily fill another building
just as large.
Plans for the proposed addition
have already been prepared and work
will commence at once, if the war
news is favorable. A frontage of 63
feet will be added on Fort street, ma
lsaL of exactly the same design and
construction AS the main building. On
the lower floor. there will be two
large stores. each with frontage of
30 feet, and two upper floors will be
divided into Office suites. The new
building will be connected with the
old by an arched doorway. and will
be supplied with an elevator. which
may be used by the tenants of both
buildings. The estimated cost of the
new structure is $27 900.

BOARD OF HEALTH AND TARO.


The scarcity of taro and the inn
possibility of securing the accustom-
ed supply for the Molokai Settlement
was the principal subject considered
at the meeting of the Board of Health
yesterday. 1t was said that a large
number of the poi shops in Honolulu
had been obliged to close up. Wheat
and rice flower are being largely used
as a substitute for taro in making
poi, but as the experience with these
substitutes during the cholera epi-
demic in 1925 had been unsatisfactory
it was not recommended for adoption
at the settlement. The contractor was
| directed to use his best efforts to Sc
cure the necessary amognt of taro.

there can be no hostilities between
Spain and America, and after that time
you we'll know that Spain cannot carry
on the war, for she has nothing and no
backing to carry out such a plan. All
that can be expected up to that time is a
