attempt Is made to belittle the energy

the fortress is regarded as relieving
the military situation on the mainland,

the necessity for maintaining the sea-

Lao Tung peninsula. Besides, the ut /
most confidence is expressed in the I
ability of the fortress to Withstand

There is a good deal Of opposition to
Hearst in the ranks of the Democratic
party in Honolulu, and fight is being
made for an uninstructed delegation to
the Chicago convention. Iaukea,
Woods and some of the native leaders
want to instruct for Hearst, while the
white democrats although not coming
out for Parker are opposing instruc-
tions of any kind.

here should go to the Democratic con-
vention uninstructed," said W. A. Kin
ney, a member of the Fourth Precinct
executive committee yesterday. In
particular the delegation should not be
instructed for Hearst, for the one rea-
son that he is conducting his campaign
in such a way as to raise unfortunate
fnferences, and we. knowing as little
as we do as to what should he done
at st. Louis, should not instruct ab-
soluteiy for him. am not in favor
