NEW YORK, Mar. Lieutenant
General John NJ Schoheid. retired. in
a dispatch to the Worli from st. Aug

The Beers appear to have commit
ted their first serious mistake in the

Their line OF retreat should haye bcen
by way of Bishof, Which line they
should have made sure To keep open

thus making certain their junction wuh

If, for political reasons. il was be
lieved necessary TO defend the Free

been held by other troops until Cronje
could reach it by the circuitous route
above referred tC.

THE HONOLULU PLAGUE.
Little Danger of 1t Spreading to This
Country, Owing to Sanitary
Precautions.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1.-Two reports
bearing on the plague situation in the
Hawaiian islands have been received
by the marine hospital service from
DR., Carmichael. the surgeon in charge
at Honolulu. They are dated February
13.
Regarding the appearance Of the
plague at Kahului. on the island Of
Maui. the doctor says three undoubted
and two suspicious cases were reported
to the board of health at Honolulu and
an examination showed them to be the
disease of a malignant character.
Seven cases in all we're reported from
January so to February II. all occurring
in the Chinese quarter and traced to a
store where Chinese foodstuffs, iinport-
ed from the Orient, via Honolulu, were
sold,
The town was at once surrounded by
a Gordon, the Chinese quarter destroyed
by fire, and the bodies of those dead of
plague burned.
The situation is well in hand and the
disease, the doctor says, may not
spread. There are several large sugar
plantations near Kuhului and II is I'm
possible 20 say how much intercourse is
between them and the town. Owing to
the condition of affairs at Honolulu
vessels from the mainland have been
loading sugar for United States ports

NEW NAVAL CONSTRUCTIONS.
Secretary Long Says Vessels Can Be
Most Cheaply Constructed IN
Private Yards.

WASHINGTON. Mar, 1.-Secretary
Long has made statement to the
house naval committee on the general
needs Of the navy and the desirability
of not building new ships in the gov
ernment yards. As to the new ships,
he held To his recommendation at the
time congress met, namely three arm
orad cruisers Of about $4,000 tons each.
with the heaviest armor and the most
powerful ordnance; twelve gunhoats Of
about 900 tons each, three protected
cruisers of about 5000 tons each. AS
to building warships in our own yard
Mr.. Long said they cost much more
than those built under contract and
took twice as long to build them.
Admiral Dewey suggested to the COM
mittee that they leave off the twelve
gunboats and give three new battle
ships instead He said the battleships
would be more serviceable, as General
Otis had just purchased fourteen gun
boats and had turned them over to the
navy. They were in a fair condition
and the admiral said that from his ex-
perience he thought they were just the
vessels needed for service in the Phil
ippines.

Its Great Advantages to the AM
erican Merchant Marine.
ENORMOUS YEARLY SAVING
Reduction of $25,OOO,OOO KilI Result
to Producers 10 Ocean PreiShts
Through Additional ships.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-The re-
port prepared by Senator Fry upon
the shipping bill reported oy the COM
mittee on commerce Of the senate was
made public today.
Tho report begins by asserting
the self evident value OF a national
merchant marine explains and de-
plores our almost entire Dependence
upon foreign shipping for our ocean
carrying. II suggests the danger Of
reliance upon the merchant ships Of
other nations with which We may be-
come involved in war, the possible
complete exclusion Of American ex-
ports from their regular foreign mar
kets in such contingency, and points
out that the wholesale transfer Of the
tonnage Of such belligerent nation to
neutral aag would unquestionably
involve such shipping in difficulties.
seizures and detentions.
Three prime reasons are given for
the decline OF American shipping in
the foreign trade. namely: % The
greater cost Of building ships in the
United States than elsewhere; (2) The
greater cost Of operating American
ships compared with foreign ships;
and 60 Causes based ON foreign legis-
Iative encouragement.
The passage of this bill, it is claimed.
would probably effect a reduction Of
S25.OOO.OOO year in the ocean rates
on American commerce. through the

that would be created
