The harbor of Pango-Pango is in the
island of Tutula, which is the smallest
and most east, Of the Samoan group.
It was ceded to the United States by
the treaty of 1879, both Germany and
Great Britain acquiring ooaling sta

For more than quarter of a century
we have neglected our privileges there,
but now that we have other Pacific pos
sessions we are going to make use Of
Pango-Pango harbor.
Not only piers and coal sheds, but in
oil probability Notifications Of some
sort, will be erected. The navy depart
ment is now considering bids for the
construction Of the necessary buildings

Besides making these arrangements
the department has practically complet-

amount of coal to Pango-Pango If the
buildings are not completed by the time
of the arrival of the coal, it will be
dumped ON tho beach and will be trans,

about 1000 tons OF coal. The supply

She rode straight to the front, and there

her. He was furious and wanted to ship
her right back home, but Miss Wheeler
did not intend to go back, and so com

Santiago after nightfall and put herself
under Miss Barton's protection.
In appearance Miss Wheeler is slight and

The harbor is on the south side Of
Tutuila island and is evidently Of vol
canic formation. 1t runs for distance
inland, with tortuous channel whose
general direction is north, and then it
turns almost at right angles around a
rocky promontory guarded by q steep
rock standing out in the sea known as
Goat island. Just around the bend is
another rocky headland called Swim
ming point, and the United States pur-
chased and took possession of about 100
acres Of land, which includes within its
limits both these headlands
A battery could be mounted ON Swim
ming point completely commanding ev-
cry foot of anchorage in the harbor,
while every vessel entering the harbor
would have to pass directly under the
guns Of the batteries that undoubtedly
will be erected upon Goat island.
Tutuila is mountainous island near
ly 100 miles in circumference and con-
tanning about 10, 900 Inhabitants. The
interior is so rugged and the jungle so
dense that it is seldom visited even by
the natives. There are comparatively
few inland villages. The natural beau

Several years ago it was reported that
England had seized Pango- -Pango, and

out to be unfounded. No nation can dis
pute our title to the harbor, but we are
likely to have some trouble with the
native chief Of the island.
1t was only after much fighting and
more pickering debate, the latter by no
means yet ended, that the present chief
secured the title of maunga, He regards
himself so highly that he refuses allie
glance to the constituted government Of
Samoa and looks upon King Malietoa
as no more than an equal i'll rank, and
a feeble equal at that. So far as con-
Germs the American coaling rights in
his bay he makes no opposition, but in
sists that they are based not on the Bel-
lin act, but ON the Narragansett treaty,
entered into in 1873 between the maun-
ga Of that time and Captain r. W.
Meade. A little diplomacy and the gift
of a discarded silk hat would probably
secure his firm allegiance.

School Board Make 1his Decision Con-
cerninG New High school building.

At n special meeting of the school board
held Friday, Commissioner Miller was
the only absentee, he being out of the city.
Among the routine business transacted
was several matters effecting the work on
the Pomeroy school building, Mr., WilooN
the architect Of the new High school build
ing was present and presented plans for
the foundation of the new building. 1t
is expected that specifications Will be in
readiness 10 enable to commissioners to
call for bids early next week. The prin-
ciple subject that came up for discussion
before the board was the question of which
way 10 front the new building. After a
lengthy debate 1t was voted to have the
building face South Union street The rea-
son advanced for the frontage of the
building to be on South Union street is
that II Will be on a level, whereas II the
building had a frontage on Main street
the ground would have to be consdorably
lower on the west end than at the east
end Of the building. The plans for the
foundation will necessarily have TO under
go some slight changes and when the
work is once commenced the building will
be pushed to completion. The school COM
missioners expect the building to be READY
for occupancy by September of next year.
