uected by Wire.

San Francisco and Honolulu to BE Con-
nected by Wire.
The Pacific cable bill which passed the
Senate on Wednesday contemplates the
laying of a submarine cable from San
Francisco to Honolulu. The question of
the construction of cable line from
Honolulu to the Philippines is left open.
The bill as passed provides for a cable
line to be constructed and controlled by
by the Government As Hawaii is the
strategic point in the Pacific ocean of
most importance to the United States,
an exclusively American cable seems a
necessity of the situation.
Great Britain had planned u cable line
from Australia and New Zealand to Hon
oluu and from there to Vancouver.
This scheme was abandoned when Ha~
wall was annexed TO the United States.
Surveys have been made for the laying of
a cable from Seattle by way of the Aleu-
tan islands to Japan. and from there TO
the Philippines Without concessions
from the japanese Government this line
could not be controlled by the United
States Government. BY the northern
route Seattle is $3.50 miles from Yoke
hama and 6,37S miles from Manila.
Another proposition is to lay cable
from Honolulu by way of Midway island
to Hong Kong or a point in Northern
Luzon. Midway island is about LOO
miles north Of west of Honolulu and was
annexed to the United States in 1861 in
the belief that it could be made II strong
naval station. 1t was found that the isl
and was not suitable for "A naval station,
and it has been made simply a coaling sta
ton on the q .ct route from Honolulu 10
Yokohma mother proposition that finds
favor i, lay cable from Honolulu to
Wake Is 1000 miles almost due west,
from Their, southwest a distance OF l,2Oo
miles Ia (suam, aud from there 1000
miles to Luzon. This would b. a cable
line with all stations on American terri
tory and could be put under government
control The first step in the laying of a
l1ei6c cable from San Francisco, los.
miles 10 Honolulu IS the important one.

cation with the Philippine Islands. but

This enga cement assumed the proper

MANY WEEKS.
Roberts Awaits Winter Clothing for
His Troops B1oemfontein Put Into
shape for Defense Against Beers

Britons are now beginning, though re-
luctantly, to realize that Lord Roberts
is in for winter campaign, lasting sew
eral months. This is the end, in few
words, Of the high hopes based upon
Lord Roberts brilliant dash to himber-
ley and Bloemsontein Preparations are
being made to hold Bloemfontein against
surprises. Lord Kitchener has been Civ
en- an important duty, being responsible
for the protection Of the railway. while
Lord Roberts is waiting for remounts
and winter clothing for the troops, whose
thin cotton Khaki uniforms and boots are
worn out. Gen. Brabant and Gen. Cat
acre are both at standstill.
Lord Roberts will probably for some
time confne his operations TO clearing the
Free State behind him of raiders and to
relieving Mafeking, for which purpose
apparently the eighth division, now ar
irving at Cape Town, has been ordered
to Kimberley. Lady Sarah Wilson al j
other Mafeking correspondents send dl-
aries Of the doings there, showing that
the Beers have tried by abandoning their
trenches TO lure the besieged out into
mined ambush Fortunately the British
engineers discovered the mine, cut the
wire communication and unearthed 2oO
pounds of dynamite and war gelatine.
What the chances are for an advance
to Pretoria may be judged from the fact
that only from 6,o00 to 10000 horses are
on their way to the Cape. and from the
further fact that the military tailoring
departments only within the last three
weeks began making wooden khaki uni
forms.

Gen. Funston Charged with Hanging

Filipiuos Without Trial.
An interesting topic of conversation in
army circles m Manila is the investiga-
ton OF Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston's
execution of two Fihpiuos and the posi-
bihty of a court-martial resulting there
from. The story IS that the Fllipinos
captured three Maeahebe scouts who
were crossing the country near San Isl
dro and were preparing to Kill them when
one of the Macabebes escaped and found
Gen Funston with a scouting party near.
This man guided the Americans to the
rescue of his companions, and when the
troops approached the Filipinus fed, leav-
ing the Maca hebes. Several of the Fiji
pinos were shot and Gen. Funston cap
tured two of them, took them to the vii
lage square and hanged them without
trial. as warning TO the Filipinos. The
present method of warfare and instances
of the mHtilation of prisoners have in
censed the American soldiers to such a
degree that they feel justified in making
reprisals, which has been done on several
occasions recently.
