TO LOCATE
THE FORTS
Army Board Will
Be Sent Down
Soon.
!, URsUANT to a recommendation

n URsuANT to a recommendation
made by Inspector General
a Breckenridge after his recent
visit here. orders have been prepared
appointing a board of Army officers to
proceed to these islands to locate the
sites for Notifications, to defend the
entrances to the harbor of Honolulu and
10 Pearl Harbor Information which
was received in the mail in the Sierra
yesterday, indicates that Col. William
H. Heuer, stationed in San Franchises,
and in charge of the work of the en-
gineers department of the western
coast, viii be at the head of the party.
The matter of the location of the
forts which must be constructed by the
War Department for the adequate de-
fense of the harbor, has been consd
cred by every officer of either the en-
gineer or artillery corps, who has pass
ed through the city on his way to
Manila. Col Heuer has been here III
the matter OF the opening of the chan
mel into Pearl Harbor, and is thorough
ly acquainted with all the conditions
and the lay of the land, particularly
at the openings to the harbors. There
will be at least two others on the board
One of these will be the inspector who
is sent down to look after the work of
dredging out the entrance and the third
will be an officer whose speciality is
Notifications. While none of those who
have information will discuss the other
member of the Board, it is intimated
that perhaps Maj Black, formerly en-
gineer commissioner of the District of
Columbia and before that time III
charge of the Qualifications division of
the engineers office will be chosen by
Gen. Wilson for this important work.
The work of the board will consist of
inspections OF the land at the entrance
to this harbor and that of the Pearl
lochs. and it will select the points at
which the various batteries which are
10 defend the city and naval station are
TO be located. It has been the express
sion of every general officer that there
Will be chosen for the defensive works
the modern system Of placing high pow
er guns close to the waters edge. in
stead Of on heights back of the city.
Cen Breckenridge while here said that
without doubt there would be n most
complete system Of such defenses plac-
ed, and that there would be no delay
in the work, as any Improvement of the
naval station without defense provl-
sion, would be contrary to the custom
Of the department.
Should all the recommendations Of the
inspector general be followed in the or
ders for this Board, it will also have
the duty Of selecting the site for the
permanent army barracks. These will
depend so much upon the location of
the forts, that there could be no opin-
ion expressed by the officers here as TO
the reservations chosen for them. The
tract near Moanalua is still held by the
government, and its availability will be
settled by the Board alone.

gBTORK on the preparations for
w dredging the entrance to Pearl
Harbor will be commenced at
once. Capt. Samuel Henry, OF the firm
of fzGlark & Henry, contractors for open
ing the harbor by taking out the bar
at the entrance. arrived in the Sierra
yesterday. and will inaugurate work at
once. Capt. Henry brought with him
Chief Carpenter Howe. who viii super
intend the building of the scows which
will be needed in the work, end En-
gineer Walker, who will have charge Of
the dredger.
The first thing to be done here is the
construction of three scows for the
plant of the company. One OF these win
be thirty-six feet beam by seventy-two
feet long and viii serve as the vessel
for the dredging machinery. This scow
will be OF exceptional strength and win
be equipped with most complete set
of machines. The engines for this part
Of the work are now on the way here.
and the dredging machinery proper will
be shipped long before all the wood
wcrlz has been completed, The other
scoWs viii be of the ordinary dump
ing pattern. They will be used In the
carrying to sea of the sand taken from
the newly made channel
The building of these viii occupy sew
eral weeks but as the work OF getting
ready for the undertaking OF the enter
prise has been set back by the San
Francisco strike, the engineers of the
War Department, under whom the work
is to be done, have signified that there
will be no strict holding down to the
time for the commencement OF the
work, the company being granted the
ruling that the building of the vessels
to be used is in reality such commence
ment. It had been the intention Of the
company to have the scows built in
san Francisco and then taken to pieces
for shipment here, and reerection. The
tie-up Of business mace this Impossible
and the superintendent was brought
here and everything win be done right
on the ground.
The next step of Capt. Henry will be
to find a tug to tow the scows out to
sea. He hopes that he will be able to
make an arrangement with the Terri
tory to have the use of its tug as ne
wants to give all the business he can
TO local interest However, he said last
evening. that he had his eye upon two
tugs at the coast which he could secure,
In case it became necessary to bring
one here. so that there would be no de-
lay in the work.

Morgan, H. c. McGiIdowney and Her

then blowing steadily from the north
east at ten knots an hour, and with
indications that it would freshen
Sir Thomas Upton did not go aboard
the Shamrock today but stayed on
board the Erin until his guests ar
rived The Erin did not leave for the
starting point until half-past O'Clock.
It was still later than that when the
excursion feet passed the Hook.
At 1918 the committee boat had set
a signal for f1fteen-nile race to wind
ward and return. The wind was a lit
tie south of east and almost eleven
knots Both yachts were near the
starting line.
The Columbia went almost down to
the line without attempting to raise a
sail. The Shamrock had only her main
sail set when she reached the line, but
a moment later she broke out her club
topsail. The wind at 900 had increased
to eleven knots.
Tugs still held the racers by lines in
order to keep them Strengthened out to
the wind
The Columbia got her mainsail UP
lively and then set her club topsan.
Both yachts were then to the west of
the lightship. Soon after 10 o'clock
both of the flyers discarded their tug
boats and, coming up to the wind, broke
out almost simultaneously their jibs and
staysails, which had been put in stops.
AS they tackled back and forth behind
the line the committee boat set a signal
that the course would be fifteen miles
to windward and return, and that the
compass course would be east by south.
Meantime the great fleet of excur-
sion vessels had rolled out toward the
lishtship and spread out behind the
starting line in two great wings.
AS the contesting yachts tackled back
and forth about the line with main
sails, club topsails, staysails and jibs
out, 1t was noticeable how much high
er the Columbia's bow comes out of the
water as she moves under sail than does

LANDING FOR TIE CABLE.

sions granted by Spain in the Philip
pines prior to American occupation of
the islands, some doubt exists as to the
right of the Government to grant such
a privilege as is asked to a private
corporation.
WASHINGTON, Oct. There were
five of the eight members of the Cabinet
present at today's meeting-Attor-
ney General Knox, Secretaries Long,
Hitchcock and Wilson and POST
master General Smith. The principal
subject discussed was that of a cable
to Hawaii, Guam and the Philippines.
Propositions have been made to lay
commercial cable from San Francisco
to connect these islands. and the ques-
ton under discussion was whether un-
der our peace treaty with Spain
the United States could authorize or in
any way encourage the laying OF such
q cable by private parties.
Under a franchise obtained from
Spain some time before the late war
the exclusive right to cable connec-
tions with the Philippines was secured
by a foreign corporation. Under the
treaty of Paris the United States obli-
gated itself to protect all property
rights in the archipelago, and the ques-
ticn now at issue is whether permis-
sion to land the proposed cable at Ma
Mia or some other Philippine port
would be a violation of the terms of
the Paris treaty. The Attorney Gen
eral will prepare a statement for the
President covereing all the questions.

with George D. Ward. vice-presiGent of
the cable company. Their mission was
principally to make arrangements re-
garding the landing privileges of their
cable, which it is proposed to run from
San Francisco via the Hawaiian ISL
ands and Guam to Manila.
The following statement was made
by an official interested in the project
on behalf of Mackay: The project Is
different from anything which has been
proposed, as no concessicC.s, indemn;-
ties or subsidies are asked, the propo-
sition being simply that If permission
to land be granted the cable viii be
laid and maintained without any cost
to the Government The cable com
pany agrees 10 give the Government
business right of way and in case of
war or other public necessity to per-
nit the cable to be taken over by the
Government. It furthermore promises
to reduce the Far Eastern rates from
forty to sixty per cent below those now
charged"
Mackay and others connected with
the new company are hopeful that the
concessions they seek may be granted,
but on account of the provisions of the
treaty of Paris relating to the conces-

- Sept. 2S.-The coming
" W of Secretary Henry E.
Cooper and Judge a. S.
Hartwell, of Hawaii
from San Francisco was heralded far
and wide over the States, as soon as
they reached land and with it the story,
of which nothing is known here in
washington, that they bore the resig
nation of Governor Dole. Some think
it is only a canard set in motion by
Judge Humphreys and his friends, but
of the truth and character of the rumor
more, Of course, is known in Hawaii
than here. Judge Humphreys left for
Chicago Thursday, Sept, 26 and an
nounced that he expected soon there
after to start for San Francisco and for
his home. The first Monday that Pres
fdent Roosevelt was in the White
House, Judge Humphreys called to pay
his respects to the chief magistrate,
as did all the government officials of
any note who happened in the city.
Judge Humphreys call was simply one
of courtesy. The day before he left
Washington President Roosevelt sent
note to Attorney General Knox of the
Department of Justice, announcing that
he had dismissed the petition for Judge
Humphreys removal. That, as will
readily be seen, closed the affair. Mr..
F. W. Hankey, who represented the
Hawaiian bar in the proceedings
against Judge Humphreys. departed
from Washington Monday Sept. %.
1t will probably be some days before
Attorney General Knox submits his
written opinion to the President regard
ing the validity of the Legislative act
for an additional circuit Judge in Ha-
| waii. Mr.. Knox remained with the
President for nearly an hour after the
cabinet meeting Friday, Sept. q, and
discussed the Hawaiian judgeship as
we'll as other matters with Mr. Roose-
welt. AS far as can be learned the At
torney General is not necessarily COM
mitted yet against the appointment Of
an additional judge. He only has his
doubts about the validity of the law
and viii investigate the matter thor
oughly end arrive at a definite con-
cIusion for the guidance of the Presi-
dent. Little can be learned about the
attitude of Judge Humphreys in the
matter, except that he stated in con-
versation his desire that an additional
judge should be appointed. He was in
conference with the Attorney General
about the matter but the Department
of Justice holds as confidential the re-
port which he made to the Attorney
General touching the juGgeship.
The last mail from Hawaii brought
to the Interior Department five sets Of

territorial legislature and of the
