THE SCHLEY CASE.
Admiral Dewey Thinks He Has a
Hard Job Ahsad.

WASHINGTON. Nov. p Admiral
Dewey called on President Roosevelt to-
day but did not discuss with him the
Schley court of inquiry except to tell
the President that the public sessions of
the court would be concluded in a few
days.
When we begin 10 sift the testi-
mony." said the Admiral, "our real work
will begin. I told Secretary Long when
he asked me to become President of the
Court, that I would rather go through
another battle in Manila Bay. The
hardest part of the work Will be wading
through the mass Of testimony and
our conclusions. I have two
able associates, however. and realize
that We are on trial before the country,
as we'll as Admiral Schley. Two abler,
better men. could not have been secur-
ed than Admirals Benham and Ram
say"
Admiral Dewey said that the Court
probably would take up each paragraph
Of the precept and render such an opin-
ion as may be called for. He did not
know that this would be done as he had
not discussed the case with his asso-
ciates but 1t had occurred TO him that
this would be a good plan. He felt, he
said. that the American people would
want the courts reasons in detail and
we're entitled to know them.

Over PunchbowI.

Y OCATIONS for Coast Defenses
about Honolulu are viewed under
difficulties, is the opinion of the
members OF the Fortifcations Board
which is now engaged in looking over
the. city and its surroundings for the
purpose of deciding upon what defenses
are needed. Once more the officers re-
turned to their hotel after their trip
yesterday wet from the driving rain and
ready to wait for a dry spell il their
work was not Of pressing nature.
The Iabors of the day began early
the four mule team and it's attendant
DOugherty being at the door of
the hotel by O'Clock. The first point
to be examined was PunchbowI. The
party knew of former recommendations
the location. The drive was made un-
der difficulties and was far from a
pleasant one. While the members en-
joyed the view, and appreciated the
theory of the alii of the old days who
set mis- battery there, 1t was evident that

high power guns.
The next trip of the party was to the
Pail, and this, while uncomfortable ow-
ing to the rain and wind, was full of
interest. Every member OF the party
was pleased with the situation there
from a military point of view. Col.
Davis especially was delighted He had
not before seen the Pail and the per-
fection OF the defense possible was ap
parent. Col Heuer commenting upon
II. said that a company Of men with
modern rapid fire guns could hold the
pass against an army OF invaders.
There was much questioning by the Of
hcers as to other passes and before their
departure the members OF the Board

WVIHEN Sam Parker returned to the
w city after a visit to Washington
over year ago, and told his
friends that Dole would not be COVER
nor. there was rejoicing in machine
quarters. Last evening there were
smiles upon the faces of the men who
were opposed to the governor then and
still are in the same ranks, for Col.
Parker is back in Hawaii, and now he
tells his intimate friends that Governor
Dole will be removed. Col. Parker bases
his faith upon the fact that President
Roosevelt may remove Governor N. o.
Murphy Of Arizona to make place
for his old friend, Col Brodie, and so.
of course, Dole must also go.
Col. Parker would not discuss politics
very much last evening. He had been
in Washington, he said, primarily up
on his own business, and he had called
upon the President and paid his re-
spects, and when questioned had talked
at some length upon conditions here.
Continuing Col Parker said: IT had a
most pleasant talk with the President.
I don't know where the President got
all his information about the Territory.
He seems to know all about the islands,
for he asked me many questions which
could come only from knowledge OF
the place and people.
II went to call upon the President
with Mr.. Sewall, and after the President
had made an appointment with him for
me. We went over the whole situation
here at length and I left with the i'm
preston that the President is very well
informed. Mr.. Sewall stands excellent
ly at the White House. There is moth
ing in any talk about SeWall resign
ing mis- place on the National Commit
tee. He is interested here and will come
down with me in the spring. 1 shall re-
turn to Washington, leaving here not
later than December 4th, and spending
much of the winter and spring at the
Capital.
Il am convinced that the coming ses-
sion of Congress viii pass such laws as
will put it in the power of the govern
ment here to grant franchises for the
use of the public lands for pipe line
and fume purposes. for the conveying
Of water for irrigation. The decision
IF the Secretary of the Interior that
here is no such power now puts our
,nly hope of utilizing the water Of the
< xohala region in the hands of Congress.
We saw not only the Secretary and the
of the Land Office, but
several members of the House Commit
ee on Territories and from all these
,ained the belief that action will be
aiken this year
I'VE shall work, Mr. McCrossen and
myself, for the passage of laws which
viii allow the development of the wa

and laws at this session.

| WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The govern
ment of Nicaragua has terminated the
treaty under which the United States
was empowered to construct an inter
oceanic canal across the territory of Nj
caragua. This action has been conveyed
TO the State Department by the Mica
rasuan Minister for Foreign Affairs.
That Official declares that the denuncla-
ton In nowise affects the friendly rela-
tions between the two countries, and the
Nicaraguan government desires the con-
ciusion of new treaties.

merce and navigation of 1867 thus re-
nounced the same note conveys the de-
nunc.ation OF the eXtradition treaty of

citation the first named treaty, covering

The Nicaraguan minister's note conveys
absolutely no information as TO the mo-
tives which inspired the Nicaraguan gov

fecting the treaty Of 1867 that before
submitting the HayPauncefote treaty to
Congress last year, Secretary Hay drew
up a set OF protocols with the minister
for Nicaragua, and the minister for Co
lombia, whereby these officers bound
their governments to negotiate treaties
with the United States for the necessary
concessions to construct and cantrol ca
mails in the event that Congress should
authorize the beginning of such work.
