PAGO PAGO HARB0R.

Rear Admiral Farquhar has an in

about Page Page harbor in which ne

station of great strategic value for the
future protection and development of
our growing Pacific commerce. The
need OF this harbor in the Samoan
group was keenly appreciated years ago
by naval officers stationed on the Pa
Cific coast: but. III it was considered of
special value five or ten years ago, its
Importance since me Spanisn-Ameri-
can war has more than doubled and
tripled. The control of it may almost
be locked upon as a necessity. 1t lies
in the direct route OF our future COM
merce between San Francisco and the
far east. AID 1t will therefore prove of
an advantage that any one can appre-
ciate who studies its location in the
Pacific in connection with our new
possessions there.
The island Of Tutuila. writes Ad-
miral Farquhar. is of little value to
us or any other country except for
naval purposes. 1t would hardly be
worth negotiating for if it were not for
its strategic value in forming a link
in the chain of islands extending from
the far east to San Francisco now own
ed and controlled by the United States.
AS a convenient place for our mer-
chantmen. as we'll as war vessels, to put
in under stress of weatner or for any
other reason, the harbor of Page Page
is pre-eminently a great boon to this
country 1t is practically of no COM
mercial value other than this, for its
products will never form any consider
able item OF commerce. There are a
few cocoanuts and other tropical fruits
raised on the island and the natives
can raise these easily and find suffi-
Cient food for their needs. The harbor
offers exceptional opportunities for
shelter TO vessels. During the great
hurricane of a decade ago." writes the
Rear Admiral reminiscently, when SO
many lives and good vessels were lost

fierceness of that hurricane illustrates
what terrific havoc could be done to

not anchored in some good harbor. We

These hurricanes, as Admiral Far
quhar views them, are liable to do un-

Pacific at any time during the season

like a boot, and is perfectly protected

The Bishop Estate having gained II
realizing sense of it's duty in the mat
der of Chinatown novels the way is
open for other estates and private
owners to follow suit. The Austin es-
tate is a most conspicuous offender
and in any Mainland city most of its
ramshackle structures would have been
long ago condemned. One OF the best
of its leased buildings is said to be one
ON King street, the wooden awning of
which is held up by rusty wires and
the interior OF which smells violently
between plaques. For years the Austin
estate has resisted the idea OF nm
provement and will probably keep on
doing SO until il runs afoul of the re-
form Board OF Aldermen which the
public spirit of this coming municipal
ity will one day inaugurate.

CHINATOWN EXPOSED,


If Honolulu is not a whited sepul-
cher, full of dead mems bones and all
uncleanliness then the report of the
Sanitary Commission printed else
where is at fault in its facts.
That report makes the worst reading
which the literature of the plague has
yet produced and it gives the first vivid
picture of Chinatown which has been
published. Witness this paragraph as
a sample of the whole:
We are not surprised at the indigna-
ton expressed when a citizen finds he
is living in a community where fresh
meat is exposed for sale in shops with
in few feet of which are cesspooIs
reeking with filth and vermin, from
which come clouds of flies; where res
taurants have cesspools with no other
covering than the Kitchen floors, into
which cockroacheS crowd by the thou
sands after a night of foraging over
tables and dishes; where poultry is
kept huddled for weeks in small coops
one above the other; where poi Is
manufactured, and sold in shops sour
with fermented slime; where kitchens
are built next TO foul-smelling privies,
and so arranged that a ray of light
never enters them; where sinks are
maintained with long, leaking drains;
where cesspools and prIvy vaults are
crowded together or combined and left
unopened year after year to saturate
the ground with filth and germs; where
cesspools are often without ventilation
of any kind excepting the crevices of
the floors above or perhaps a rickety
wooden vent ending within two feet OF
a sleeping-apartment window, which IS
oyercrowded at night with occupants,
and where the ground is often without
drainage. so that the seepage from the
surroundings accumulateS and becomes
stagnant.
The Commission hastens to say that
the responsibility cannot rest wholly
with the Board of Health any more
than board OF directors can be held
wholly responsible for the details of
the management of a business enter
prise. The argument under all the cir
cumstances is not impressive but at
the same time we do not find it worth
while 10 analyze the matter now. Re
sponsibility can be melted out later;
the thing at present is to discuss and
provide a remedy. This the Sanitary
Commission does in a seri S Of strong
and cogent recommendations which we
do not need to urge upon the favor
able consideration of this aroused com
munity.
AS a first step toward freeing Homo
lulu of it's plague spots the Council OF
State should be called together; as the
next. the Council should see that
money enough is portioned out, and
put in the right hands, to rid Homo
lulu of the one overshadowing menace
TO its health and prosperity And no
time should be wasted

OUR KIND OF QUARANTINE

Honolulu quarantine is a curious
thing. Chinatown is supposed TO be
closed, vet inspectors, official visitants
and troops enter and leave IL several
times n day and carry whatever adj
heres to them To their respective
homes Then to make matters worse
several hundreds of house servants
who are wanted in family kitchens and
bedrooms and yet may take contagion
there have been permitted to pass the
quarantine" The only people who
are held within the lines are those
who. by constant night-and-day rest
dence in Chinatown, are more immune
to- the diseases of the locality than
those whose business keeps them. for
the greater part OF the time, in the
residence portions of the city.
What is meant by quarantine on the
Mainland is very much more string

Here is characteristic story of Kip
ling, told to NJ. A. P. by one of his few
intimate friends. Kipling, as most peor
pie know, has keen sense of humor
and great horror of being interview
ed" Some months ago, on arriving in
San Francisco from Yokohama, he was
besieged by reporters, to all of whom
he turned deaf ear Suddenly a
bright thought struck him, and he d.
rected that the next man should be ad-
mitted. The interview ended, Kipling
hailed cab, rushed off to the Office Of
one of the leading papers, asked to see
the editor and made arrangements to
write there and then an article at so
many dollars column. His writing
finished, he presented his manuscript,
received his check and departed.
Scarcely had he gone than the reporter
who had interviewed him arrived and
triumphantly delivered his copy" Of
the interview. The editor smiled, tore
the ''copy" in half and handed Kip
lings manuscript to the reporter, and it
dawned on the scribe that Kipling and
not he had acted the part Of enter

STRENGTH OF GIBRALTAR.
It's Overwhelming Effect Upon an
American Tourist.

It's Overwhelming Effect Upon an
American Tourist.
There is no doubt that, Gibraltar is,
from the nature Of its location, the
strongest fortified spot on EARTH" said
q recently returned tourist, 'but the
English officers who are on duty there
seem impressed with the idea that
there is some weak spot about the
place and that some American may
discover it They have very NONSENSE
cal rules and regulations governing the
fertilization, and one Of them is that
no American can be admitted to the
fortified places, though they are al
lowed to wander all around the outside
as long as they care to.
II do not think the combined guns Of
the rest Of the world. all working to-
lgether and for 12Ahours each day. Sum
days and public holidays included. for
one year, could seriously interfere with
! Gibraltar beyond cutting OF the mail
communication. The walls are solid
rock q quarter Of mile thick. and
such thing a. doing any damage In
q military sense would be simply non
sense. Gibraltar could resist any at.
tack, and the conditions there are such
that the attacking party would neces-
mt1ty have to- be exposed In making
its attack. Thts exposure would hare
tp-be within .range Of the guns Of the
fort even II they are 90 years out Of
date. Consequently they would be
nearly as effective as modern guns.
for with all that Is claimed for modern
warfare there probably never win be
any fighting done when the opposing
parties are out Of sight Of each other. !
while all this Is admitted by mill
tary men Of all countries, IL seems
funny that there should be anything
Of secret or hidden character about
Gibraltar that Americans should not
be allowed to inspect as freely as the
people Of other countries are. Eng
land may be whipped some time In the
history Of the world, but the defeat
will not take place at Gibraltar, as
sure you."-Washington Star.
