Spanish torpedo fotilla has arrived at
Porto Rico.

across the ocean. President Mckinley

ADMIRAL LM|uER'S REPORT
UNITED STATES SHOULD OWN
WAIPIO PENINSULA.
Believes That Pearl Harbor Can be
Dredged Properly Within the Esti-
mated Sum of 100000.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Secretary
Long has sent to Congress a report of
the project for the establishment of a
naval coaling station and repairing
station at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, sub
mitted by Rear Admiral Miller, COM
mander in chief of the Pacific naval
station.
As a result of the surveys and eN-
animation Admiral Kirkland reports
that the capabilities of Pearl IIarbor
as an anchorage for vessels of large
size have been much exaggerated.
and that the government should ac-
quire possession of the whole of the
Waipio peninsula. comprising 500 ac-
res of land, if a station is to be locat-
ed at Pearl Harbor. The price of the
land as held by its present owners is
a fictitious one, and unless improve
ments are made in Pearl Harbor the
value would be probably less than $50
an acre.
Secretary Long recommends thar
Reckoning point be selected as site
for the contemplated station on ac-
count of its proximity to East loch.
which has the largest anchorage. as
dry docks may be easily built there.
and as there is ample room for space
to dock and undocR vessels of any
size. He believes that the harbor can
be dredged to depth of thirty feet
as in Honolulu. and within the eSti-
mated sum of Sl05.000.

EARTHQUAKE At FRISCO WAR CLOUD IN THE EAST
THE CLASH OF ARMS MAY COME
THERE FIRST.
The Grab Game for China Territory
Among the Powers Seems to be Co
ing Merrily On.

NEW YORK. March 26.-A Sun Lon
don cable says: Europe as a whole,
and London especial, continues to
take secondary interest in the Span
public men in this country at the
present moment who believe that war
between Great Britain. Russia and
France is more threatening than that
between the United States and the
Spanish government. The point has
now been reached where Great Brit
ain must fight or abandon her brave
declarations made during the past
two months by responsible Cabinet
Ministers.
1t is doubtful if even Russian dip
lomat would now attempt with
straight face to argue that China's
territorial integrity is inviolate, with
the Germans IN possession of kiao-
chau bay, the Russians of Port Ar
thur and Manchhria overrun by Rus
sian troops.
Appearances may be deceptive but
for the moment they suggest COM
plete turn about in the British policy,
the formal abandonment of the ter
ritorial integrity contention, the
British occupancy of Chusan and the
conversion OF Wei-hai-wei into a per-
manent Japanese place of arms.
LONDON. April 2.-The Peking cor
respondent of the Times says: Rus
slams here deride the suggestion that
Port Arthur will be open to British
ships and commerce. and the well In
formed insist that under the present
agreement Talien-wan can be anoth-
er Nladiyostok.
LONDON, April 2.-There have been
frequent conflicts between the Chi
nese and Germans at Kiaochau. says a
special dispatch from Shanghai. The
Chinese attacked marine. The
Germands defended him and in the
melee which ensued one German and
one Chinese were killed.
LONDON. March 31.-In is reported
here that Japan has asked the Unit
ed States to join Great Britain in sup
porting ,Iapan's refusal to withdraw
from Wei-hai-wei after the payment
of the Chinese war indemnity in view
of the possibility of Russia seizing
the port.
WASHINGTON. March 31.-At the

that no advices have been received on
the line of the London rumor. The
rumor is not credited AT the Legation
