COAST DEFENCES HERE
AND IN PHILIPPINES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE War
Department is receiving reports from
the Philippines and from Honolulu re-
garding work on coast defenses in those
places. Preparation for the prelimi-
nary projects for emergency defenses
of the more important harbors in the
new insular possessions is being con-
tinued. and when accurate surveys of
large number of battery sites are
completed. funds will become avail
able and the actual construction may
follow. The progress will be dependent
on. the wishes of Congress. as expressed
by the size of appropriations.
With the approval of the Secretary of
War the funds appropriated by the last
fertilization appropriation act have
been applied in the Philippine Islands
TO constructing heavy batteries, which
are costly and slow to build, leaving till
later lighter batteries, which in emer-
gency could be rapidly completed and
armed.
For the construction of gun and
mortar batteries in the insular possess
sions it is estimated that $2000,000 can
be advantageously and economically
handled by the engineers now employed
in constructing batteries in the trop-
les. Last year the chief engineers sub
mitted an estimate of s526, 100 for the
acquisition of land for fertilization pur-
poses in the Hawaiian Islands. The
amount appropriated for this purpose
was $500, 600. Negotiations are now I'M
der way for the acquisition of as much
land needed as can be secured with the
funds in hand. It is considered i'm
E,ortant and in the interest of economy
that all sites should be secured at the
same time and the appropriation re-
naming of S326, 100 for this purpose is
recommended.

CEs To THE FUNDAMEN
Law OF HAWAII.

11AE-H ANns ~ HE + ONOAdEN I<AL
Law OF HAWAII
Congress has expressly enacted law
organizing Hawaii into a Territory,
and extended the provisions of the
United States Constitution TO the Ter
ritory.
In restricted sense. therefore. the
United States Constitution and the Or
ganic Act constitute Hawaifs funda-
mental law; but the Organic Act
specifically re-enacts the great body of
pre-existing Hawaiian statute law,
which was based upon the several Ha-
waiian Constitutions and organic laws.
A large proportion of the law gov
ernfng real estate, property and per-
sonal rights in Hawaii beiag based up
on these early constitutions and laws:
and presidents, decisions and court
practice having grown out of them, it
is necessary to consult them in order
to have a comprehensive understand
ing of existing Hawaiian law. They
are nearly all published, however, in
books now out OF print, and in scattered
volumes, inaccessible to many, and in
conveniently located for all. In fact.
not even practicing lawyers in Hawaii

stitutions necessary for the study and
decision of practical questions con-
tinually being presented to them.
Under these circumstances it is be-
Heved that the public interest requires
the republication in convenient refer
ence form of what may be called .'the
fundamental law of Hawaii" To meet
this requirement the following con-
situations, laws and documents have
been compiled under the common title
of THE Fundamental Law of Hawaii, .
viz:
/. The first Constitution of Kane
hameha III, 1870. including the pre-
viously issued Bill of Rights.
2. The first laws of Hawaii, enacted
under Kamehameha III, Q833-1842),
published together in 1912.
3. The law creating and principles
guiding the Land Commission
f. The second Constitution of Ka-
mehs meha III, 1852.

The laws of 1912 are not "fundamen-
tai in the sense that the constitutions
and other laws and documents are: but
they have been included herein for the
reason that they We're not only the frs
written laws of Hawaii, but embodied
many of the pre-existing laws and GUS
toms of the country and therefore
throw a strong light upon the origin
and development of much of the pres
ent law.
Only few of the laws. constitutions
and documents re-published, have ever
been indexed. A full index of all of
them is included herein. Instead Of one
general index, each is indexed separ-
ately. The reason for such treatment is
that reference will usually be desired
to given subject in some one law
or constitution. The subject sought
will be much easier found in the short
index of the particular law, than It
would have been in necessarily long
index of the whole.
The table of contents gives the page
of each constitution and law and Of its
index.

MALACCA TO BE RELEASED.

st. Petersburg, July 81, $40 p. m.
The Associated Press can state au-
thoritatively that the Malacca will
probably be released at once. The
exact status OF the case at present is
as follows. Count Benckendorf, the
Russian ambassador to Great Britain,
has asked for LORD Lansdowne's
Official assurance that 3he munitions on
board were British government stores.
If this is given, orders will instantly
be issued to release the vessel. At
the same time, Great Britain will be
notified that ships stopped by Russia
whose nnanifests are not ia order will
be held.
Russia will maintain the legality of
the status of the Smolensk and ST.
Petersburg as warships. They are
under the orders of the admiralty and
we're commissioned by the admiralty's
instructions. Under the regulations
of the volunteer feet Russia claims
that the ships belonging thereto can
be converted into warships without
previous notice, upon orders from the
admiralty. When the Smolensk and
St. Petersburg reached Suez on their
way out the BY received from the Rus
sian consul the admiralty's instruc-
tions commissioning them as warships.
