CUSSION IN HONOLULU-A QUICK PLAN FOR PRE-
PAIRING TO DEFEND THE ISLAND

Col. Mcclellan, who suggested to
Governor Carter the possibility that
the federal government might want to
place some heavy batteries in Punch
bowl crater, says that Honolulu need
not fear window breaking conclusions
from the firing of the guns, in prac-
tice or otherwise. In discussion Of
the proposal to place heavy guns on
the hin it was suggested that the firing
of guns of the largest size would make
a concussion that would break every
window in the city, but according to
the statements of the experts this need
not be feared.
The guns, it is stated would be
placed below the rim, and Honolulu
would not receive the full force of the
| explosions. No steps have yet been
taken by the government to take land

GOVERNOR CARTER, TREASURER KEPOIKAI AND AUDI
TOR FISHER HAVE A CONFERENCE WITH BUSINESS
MEN ON FINANCIAL CONDITIONS-SE SERIOUS SITUA-
TION TO BE MET BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER.

That the banks were probably acting
under a misrepresentation when they
decided net to take treasury wEvrants
of the eighteen months appropriation
bill; that there IS more or less con-
fusion in the financial statements sup
piled by Treasurer Kepoikai; that the
banks demand a settlement by the
courts of all question as to the validity
Of warrants that the government will
owe about $S00.000 when the taxes come
in next November, and that an extra
session of the legislature will be inn
mediately called if the Supreme court
decides against the warrants in the
forthcoming test case, were the prin-
ciple things made plain in the confer
ence of business men with the COVER
nor and treasurer and auditor this
morning. The Conference lasted an
hour an a half and the situation was
thoroughly gone into. AS a result new
financial statements will be prepared
for bankers and others, and Governor
Carter with meet them and give them
desired assurances as to the policy Of
the government. Those present at
the meeting were Governor Carter, Au-
ditor Fisher, Treasurer KepOikai, e. I.

E. I. Spaulding, speaking for the

counties had been supposed to collect
and The Star filled a rush order to
print them.
The suit will be an appeal of The
Star from decision of the auditor re-
fusing to audit warrants for the a
mounts due. The Star warrant was
selected today as affording opportu-
mites for bringing up the various points
which have been raised. For the pur-
poses Of a test the auditor refuses to
pass the warrant and Deputy Attorney
General r. c. Peters will take the case
before the Supreme court in chambers.

very serious. THE general volume
of business has decreased" said
Spaulding, replying to question from
Carter as to what constituted the Sc
rious situation, land there has been
a decline in securities and money is
not available. The position of the gov
ernment is adding to the hard times
and general bad situation. 1 consider
it the duty of the administration not to
throw responsibility on the legislature
but to get together and try to
straighten matters out.
Gas far as the banks are concerned,
I can say that the banks have stood
by the government under unsatisfac-
tory conditions. There is no satisfac-
tory provisions in the law for the pay
ment of these treasury notes on which
money has been borrowed. We sim
ply have had to rely on the good
faith of the treasurer.
with the banks it is not a matter
of sentiment If they make advances
they have to know how they are Sc
cured The question of the legality
of the warrants which the government
is issuing was raised at the meetings
of bankers and it was decided that at
least until that is settled, the banks
will not be warranted in cashing any
but the salary warrants, which the
treasurer has assured us will be taken
up at short notice.
yfAnother matter of Importance is
to get a clean cut, straight statement
of the financial conditions and pros
poets of the government"
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-02-25

for such a purpose but the fact that
the matter has been brought up by the
army authorities at this time is re-
garded by many as significant. The
quickest effective defenses could be
made it is stated by placing the big
guns, commanding the ocean for miles
away from Honolulu, on PunchbOwl.
Such an alteration in the United States
plans for Oahu defenses would be re-
garded as an indication that early need
for defenses here was anticipated.
With defenses placed on PunchbOwl
Honolulu would be in a very warm
plight in case of trouble. Nesting un-
derneath the batteries towards which
attacks would be directed she would
receive enough of the shells fired at the
batteries to make people hunt for cy-
clone cellars.

a late hour. No accident of any kind
was reported throughout the day, and
a great sense of relief is experienced
both by the public and the officials
concerned, that the first coronation in
Servia for five centuries and which,
owing to the tragic circumstances sur
rounding the disappearance of the pre-
vious dynasty, had been anticipated
with the liveliest apprehension, passed
off so satisfactorily.
The ceremonial was we'll arranged

appeared he was greeted with enthu-

The Port Arthur Situation Is Unknown

The Port Arthur Situation Is Unknown
to the World.
ST. Petersburg, Sept. 22.-There is
further delay in the receipt of decisive
news from the front. The situation
at Port Arthur remains a blank,
though it is felt that important devel-
opments may be even now occurring
there. The movements in the north
are still of a tentative and preparatory
character on both sides, which have
not yet cryStalliZed into a definite
clash of forces at any one point. A
resumption of the Japanese advance
is now expected to occur any day. 1t
Is the third week since the fighting at
Lao Yang, and the Japanese have had
item to transport reinforcements from
Yinkow and bring up sufficient men
to the front to replace their losses, but
1t is not improbable that several days
will intervene before the armies come
to close quarters. The interval is be-
ing devoted on both sides to feeling
out the strength and disposition of the
opposing forces. The Japanese proba-
bly, will attempt to capture the passes
of the mountain range running half
way between the Hun and the Taitse
| rivers. The possession of these passes
is important for the Japanese, as 1t
will not only enable them to march
northward. but also screen the move
ments of their troops from the prying
gaze of Russian scouts.
1t is fully appreciated here that the
Japanese must try for the possession
of Mukden, as otherwise it will be diff
f1cult for them to provide the army
with winter quarters. Lao Yang does
not afford sufficient accommodations,
although many houses there escaped
destruction in the recent battle. Nov
able huts are quite unsuitable for the
housing of the Japanese, owing to the
severity of the climate. The average
winter temperature there is 40 degrees
below zero and the cold is intensified
by continued winds and an almost en-
tire absence of snow. In spite of this,
however, the campaign probably will
| continue during the winter if the JAP
anese succeed in getting into Mukden
| In this contingency General Kuropat-
kin for various reasons will not be
| likely to allow the Japanese to remain
in undisturbed possession of this point,
which is important not only from
strategic but political point of view.
