WILL HAVE TO
TOW DESTROYERS
OFFICERS NIPPON MARU SAY
NORTHWEST SWELL WILL IN
TERFERE WITH COALING BOATS

Captain Windham has been quoted
as saying that he does not intend to
tow the torpedo boat destroyers Spar
rowhawk and Virago, from this port
to Hong Kong. He intends to have
them steam along under their own
power. The cruiser Amphitrite will
be kept close to them. Whenever the
little boats run short of COAL they will
be supplied from the big cruiser
Officers of the Nippon Maru ridi-
Guile this idea. They assert that it will
be impracticable. Throughout the
year, there is always a long north
westerly swell running across the Paci-
tc and coaling will be found to be
impossible under such conditions, even
though the weather be no unusually
rough.
The officers of the Nippon say that
the Amphitrite will have to tow the
destroyers if it is ever hoped to get
them safely to Hong Kong or any other
Asiatic port. The cruiser and destroy
ers will probably sail from Honolulu
about May for Hong Kong Coaling
has been nearly completed.

the Elleford's is combined with the ex-
cellent medium furnished by the writer

WARSHIPS IN ORIENT



RALLY the showing that the American
heet WIN make. lnasmuch as all of
these vessels were at various China
ports it is probable that they have
reached Yokohama by this dime. Many
OF the cruisers are also scattered along
the China coast and they will soon be
in the fleet at Yokohama.
on April 10, there was an imposing
review of Japans naval strength by the
Emperor and prominent Japanese
diplomatic, military and naval officials
and representatives of the various for
eign nations at Kobe There were 40
japanese battleships and cruisers and
% torpedo boats and torpedo boat des-
troyers in line. In addition to the
japanese fleet, there were about a
dozen warships of various foreign ma
lions present.
Russia is evidently preparing for
trouble, for while the Nippon was in
the Orient, Russias Pacific fleet re-
ceived powerful reinforcements from
home.
The Nippon Maru was in Hong Kong
from April to April II. During her
stay in that port two enormous Rus
sian battleships arrived from the At
lantic. In addition to these battleships
three more battleships and cruisers
have arrived in Asiatic waters. Four
| torpedo boats and destroyers were in
this fleet. Captain Greene says that
one of the battleships was in Kobe
when the Nippon passed through that
port The war vessel was a huge craft
Another Russian war vessel was in Yo-
kohama.
! There has never been a time i'm the
history of Japan when so many war
vessels have been concentrated in Asia
| tic waters. The presence of so many
Russian ships is cause for comment.
Most of the Russian vessels that ar
rived from the Atlantic have gone
north to Port Arthur.
In the opinion of naval people how
ever, Russian is simply wasting her
vessels to send them out TO Asia. Japan
and Great Britain have powerful fleets
in those waters and they could con-
/ centrate in a short time, and over
whelm the Russian fleet. 1t would be
| but few weeks after hostilities had
begun before the Russian fleet in the
Asiatic waters would be swept out of
| existence. A terrific battle about Port
Arthur would be the result however
should the Allies attempt to take that
place The forts are heavily manned
with guns and there are thousands of
/ SHUTTERS 10 protect IL. An invasion of
Manchuria would be affected under the
greatest disadvantage. 1t is thought
by many military people that Russia
could successfully resist the first at
| tempts to dislodge her.
| The Nippon officers report that as
usual, Great Britain has large fleet
of warships scattered about various Chi
| nese and Japanese ports. Activity was
being shown aboard them and the Off
/ GERS and men seemed to think that the
| prospects OF action were increasing.

REMEMBERED HAWAII Mel.

The following is taken from the Ar
my and Navy Journal: At the band
concert given on Thursday, April 2, by
the 5th Band, Artillery Corps, at Fort
Hamilton, "Moanaka," a beautiful
Hawaiian song, written by Mrs. Ketch-
am, wife of Capt. d. w. Ketcham, was
played for the first time in public. The
band leader, Mr. Frank, did it full JUS
tice by his artistic rendering of it's
pathetic strains.
Mrs. ketcham was in Honolulu sew
eral years ago as her husband was sta
toned at Camp Mckinley at Homo
lulu when the Coast Artillery was first
sent here on duty

HOUSE BILL
FOR EXPENSES
ACT ONE IS AN, ACT TO SET
ASIDE $4,000 FOR WORK OF THE
SESSION.

The House this morning fell into line
with the Senate's suggestion of a joint
committee to arrange a plan of work on
the appropriation bills, so that both
houses may not do the same work
twice, and after appointing a commit
tee, adjourned to next Monday to allow
the committee time to meet the Senate
committee and prepare a report.
Speaker Beckley appointed Knudsen,
Aylett, Vida, Pulaa and Andrade to
constitute the committee. The mem
bers of the committee hope to have a
report ready for Monday, and the ac-
tual work of the special session may
begin then.
Chillingworth made an inquiry re-
garding the jury law, saying that his
recollection was that the compensation
fixed was $3.50 per day, whereas the
published version of the law gives it
as $780, The stenographer's notes
showed that he was correct
A communication was received from
the attorney general stating that the
sum of $1,000 asked for special expenses
needed. 1t was referred to the special
committee already appointed.
Speaker Beckley announced that un-
less some reason appeared for not do
ing so, he would reappoint all the old
standing committees next Monday.
Pulaa introduced an act to apprO-
pirate money for the expenses of the
session and 1t was read and passed by
title. 1t sets aside $4,000 for expenses.
This is half as much as was appropria-
ted for the regular session of sixty
days. There is about 81, 900 left in the
regular session fund.

up for the game he was put in. Fair
