SOlACE MAY HAVE
AMMUNITION


1t is expected that the naval trans
port Solace which has been ordered to
join the Asiatic fleet at Honolulu will
bring ammunition for the vessels in
the squadron.
1t will be remembered that just prior
to the Spanish war the Mohican was
ordered to Honolulu in hurry. She
was supposed to have ordinary stores
aboard, but the cruiser Baltimore came
soon from Yokohama and took aboard
good many tons of ammunition for
Deweys fleet, then rushed back to the
Asiatic station joining the fleet again
at Hongkong. The ammunition came
in handy at the famous battle of Ma
Mia.

MARINE GUARD
FOR HONOLULU

The Navy Department has called for
one hundred marines to go to Honolulu
and for thirty for duty in Samoa.
These We're well nigh ready for leaving
when, the troubles on the Isthmus
broke out and a hurry call was sent
for marines. AS result is is now inn
possible to send more than one hun
dred marines to Honolulu without
stripping the barracks at home In
the Philippines Rear Admiral Robley
D. Evans, commander of the Asiatic
Station, has repeatedly advised the
Navy Department that the Far East
ern situation demands the retention
at Olongapo of a force of at least one
thousand five hundred marines. IN
der the present conditions this is i'm
possible. A force of sixty-five marines
will leave San Francisco for Guam
be necessary to call on Congress to
relieve the situation is not certain, but
officers of the Army and the NAVY
alike agree that such an increase
should soon be authorized if the inn
portant work which has devolved upon
the Marine Corps in the past be ex-
pected of them in the future.-Armx

HELD FOR FLEET

Admiral Terry yesterday received
from Admiral Evans, commanding the
Asiatic squadron, a cablegram request
ing that mail for the vessels of the fleet
coming to Honolulu be taken from the
Gaelic which is due from San Francisco
Tuesday. Admiral Evans cables the
names of the battleships Kentucky,
Oregon and Wisconsin, and the cruis-
ers New Orleans, Albany, Raleigh and
Cincinnati as the vessels for which he
wants the mail held, giving the first
official information of what warships
are coming to Honolulu.
1t is the opinion about the naval sta
ton that the fleet has either sailed for
Honolulu or will leave Yokohama with
in a day or two. 1t is the custom to
send the notification regarding the
mail only the last thing before sailing.
To get here December 18th the fleet will
have to get away within a very short
time.

sonnet and equipment of the seven yes

STEAMSHIP WAR
STILL CONTINUES

The Tokyo Asahf reports that the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha and some Ameri-
can steamship companies have lowered
their freightage on fancy mating ana
miscellaneous goods bound for Amer
lea to one cent per pound and So per
ton respectively. This step was di-
rected, the paper adds, against the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, the
Occidental and Oriental Steamship
Company and Togo kisen Kaisha,
which even at this time when their
competition with the China Merchant
Steamship Company has practically
come to an end, continue to enforce
reduced freightage for America to the
detriment of the other companies.
