week, the court said that the allega-

Olson and Wallace were residents

DEFENsEs FOR THE ISLANDS.

Washington, Jan. 14.--Secretary
Root has sent to congress estimates
of 1907 900 for the defenses of the
island of Guam and $4,000 for the
defenses of Hawaii. The defenses of
Guam are to include a seacoast bat
terry, $4,000; defensive sites, $45,-
900, and torpedo batteries, mines,
ETC., $125,00O.
The defenses of Hawaii are to in
clude those about Honolulu and Pearl
harbor. General Gillespie, chief of
engineers, states in the estimates
that these defenses are urgently
needed to protect the newly acquired
territory of the United States and to
prevent the interruption of cable com
munication, these islands being in
line of the projected cable.
