HONOLULU. Aug. IS. via san Fran
CISCO Sept. 5-The stirring events Of the
past few weeks have resulted in a move
rent 10 Increase the military strength OF
the Hawaiian islands. and arrangements
are being made to add to the forces now
here IL Is thought that In the event
of SOME sudden wariike movements, Ha-
wall might have to defend herself for
time. as the United States has so far
done little to make the islands safe from
invasion, II Is proposed 10 have fril
regiment of troops here. with plenty cf
men. and eight companies are now IN ex-
istence. The men OF the old ritixens
Guard will make up two more. and there
are plenty Of men available 90 complete
the regiment. The principal difficulty at
present Is lack OF material. There are
not enough guns on the Islands.
IL Is found that under the new ccndi-
,ions OF American government Honolulu
Is a very heavy exporter of Sgd 10 the
United States, and local iinafciefs are
thinking cf means 20 stop such ship
ments. The expectations are due 20 the
custom house collections Honolulu has
no money except what comes from tho
mainland. and the heavy drain. II Is
thought. viii have bad effect on the To-
cal money market Efforts are being
made 90 take advantage of United
States law which allows for the Deposit
ting with assistant treasurers OF money
for duties TO be collected. In such eases
vouchers for the cash 20 be taken by the
collector here instead OF money. As tho
cash on deposit at San Francisco would
be kept UP by sugar buyers there. this
would put an end 10 heavy gold exporta-
tions from Hawaii by the customs depart
mcut. II would also result In the saw
Ing OF a considerable sum OF money now
being paid for constant importations Of
gold. only TO have the gold sent back to
the Coast.
