COMPROMISE
New Settlement in
the Honolulu
Case.
| ADMIRAL MERRY
| AGREES TO TERM
In Navy Department Approve
Work Will Probably Begin Soon
at Pearl tiarbor.

A new compromise has been reached
between the Honolulu Plantation CO.
and Admiral Merry which, if it meets
the approval of Secretary Moody Oh the
Navy Department, will end all Feari
Harbor litigation.
The conditions under which the Navy
Department rejected the former conn
promise in the Honluiu Plantation Co.
case leads to the belief that the new
aereement will be ratified in Washing
ton When the letter of rejection came
hack from Washington some time ago.
il stated that i'll view of the appear ol

securing possession of the land. There
were also other Objectionable features
| Involving the control by the plantation
Of certain rights and property on the
naval station which in the opinion or
the washington authorities might at
some future time, when there was
change of ownership, interfere with the
plans of the United States. The new
compromise it is understood, meets
these objections in large measure, the
Honolulu Plantation Co. only retaining
| POSSIBLY some ndTDOI anu
rights. which are required in the con-
duct of The plantation. These are,
however, so modified and restricted
that the United States might take pos
session of them at any future time IL
necessary. The terms of the new COM
promise will not be given out untll ap-
proved by the Navy Department, but
| Il CARRIES with it, it is reported. a valu-
alton of 1000 for the leasehoid inter-
| est in the Pearl Harbor land. AS one
| Jury awarded the plantation over Sloo'-
| 600 and another 100000 for the lease,
! the deal financially, would be a Sooa
thing for the United States. Admiral
| Merry is anxious that the title to the
Pearl Harbor Naval Station be vested
| in the United States before he sewers
his connection with Honolulu as COM
mandant.
All the remaining cases have been
| disposed of and the United states
that the sHonolulu Plantation feases
are all low needed to complete the
deal
! If the compromise arranged between
| Admiral Merry and the Honolulu ran
tation Co. is approved by the Navy
| Department it is reported that the nm
urovement of the naval station VIII be
! a matter of a comparatively short
time. Though WilApx failed utterly to
secure an item in the Naval bill for
Hawaii, and probably did not even
make the attempt, there are still some
$500. 900 or S4OO, coo in a fund already ap-
propriatad which has not as yet been
| expended. Then again the naval ap-
preparation bill passed by Congress at
the last session carries with it fund
/ of several millions for naval improve
ments in general, part of which could
be diverted to the Pearl Harbor sta
/ ton.
The suggested compromise if it has
| not already been forwarded to Wash
| ington will be sent on to the Navy De-
| partment on the Alameda today.
