VLAD|VOSTOK WELL GUARDED
IA SECOND PORT ARTHuR-HAR.
Dor Is MINED.
Garrison 10 strono-Europeans Are
Not Leavlng-Mail Trains Arrive
and Depart From the City Every
Day-Immense supply Of Coal on
Hand.

Chefoo, Nov. 8.-As the result of
months of preparation vladivotsok is
now strongly protected, according to
Captain Halvorsen of the Norwegian
steamer fungus, which, as told in
these dispatches last evening, arrived
here five days out from that port with
700 Chinese refugees, who were unable
to live at vladivostok any longer ow-
ing to the high prices of food and other
necessaries, due to the war.
Captain Halvorsen says that the
vladivostok system of Notifications be-
gins many miles outside the city prop
er and grows stronger as the city is
Ships laden with food, cannon, am
munition and all sorts of military sup
plies frequently arrive at Vladivostok,
according to Captain Halvorsen, who
says that five ships engaged in un-
loading their cargoes were in port
when the fungus sailed.
The captain is unable to estimate
the strength Of the garrison, but he
says that everybody at Vladivostok
seems to be either an officer or an
ordinary soldier
The European residents of Vladivo-
stok show their confidence in the Sc
curity of the city by evidencing an
unwillingness to leave 1t.
If the Japanese make an attempt
to capture Vladivostok it is the be-
lief Of Captain Halvorsen that they
will find it to be a second Port Arthur.
Captain Halvorsen says that he be-
lieves submarine boats have arrived
at Vladivostok, but adds that he is not
positive in this belief, for the reason
that at present the Russian naval Sc
|crets are being most closely guarded.
The harbor of Vladivostok, he says,
has been mined for distance of seven
miles. In four miles Of this area
contact mines have been laid. while
in the remaining three miles electric
mines have been planted.
Mail trains arrive at and depart
from Vladivostok every day, and there
is now stored there an immense sup.
ply of coal taken from mines in the
neighborhood of the city.

Jap Warship Sunk.

Paris.-The Associated Press is in a
position to state positively that its
dispatches from Chefoo, Port Arthur
and Toxic last June to the effect that
the Japanese battleship Yashima had
been sunk by mine OF Dalny, which
dispatches were denied by the Japan
csc authorities at the time, have finally
been officially confirmed. The Japan
csc government has notified foreign
governments of the loss of the ship.
The number of men who went down
with the vessel is not known, but 1t is
believed to have been small.

'DREDGER MEN WILL

CFrom Wednesdays Advertiser.)

(From Wednesdays Advertiser)
A decision handed down yesterday
by the Supreme Court by which Clark
& Henery, contractors, who dredged the
Pearl Harbor channel, win out against
II. Hackfeld & Co, the decision of Cir
cult Judge De Bolt giving Clark &
Henery one-third of $4,000, as bonus
agreed to by Hackfeld & Co., and Cas-
tie e. Cooke, being sustained. Castle
& Cooke did not object to the payment
of the bonus but Hackfeld & Co.
brought the matter into the Supreme
Court. The Hackfeld side contended
that the contract had not been salts
factorily carried out and therefore they
were not under obligations to carry out
the agreement Justice Hatch wrote
the decision, Chief Justice Frear
and Judge Gear concurring. The opin-
ion, in part, is as follows:
"A written instrument addressed to

which recites that the agents knowing
that the directors of the corporation

TROPlC FRUIT co.

Mr.. Thurston called attention to the
circular OF the Tropic Fruit Company
and its proposition TO ship island pine
apples away, properly packed. lie
thought it was an excellent plan. Mr..
Giffard said it was one OF the best
things to call mainland attention to the
Hawaiian pines and he hoped for sue
cess in the venture.
He said that care should be given by
the packers TO clean the pines OF all
fruit lice which often gets into the in
terstices. The presence OF this on fruit
when received would tend to give the
island shipments black eye.
PARASITE FOR MELON FLY.
Mr. Giffard stated that the California
Board was now paying half the salary
Of Compeer, the Australian entomolo-
gist, who is in India searching for a
parasite to prey on the melon fly. He
hoped for success in this venture as
such a parasite was needed in the ter
rtory.

BLUEFIELDS DOING WE'LL.

Mr.. Thurston reported that he had
visited the blueheld banana plot and
found the plants thriving. Most OF
them were now about four feet high.
There was something less than a hum
dred adult trees, some having four TO
FIVE suckers each which were vigorously
growing
The Board desired the press to make
public an announcement that no blue
fields bananas can now be obtained from
the department. Distribution will be
announced later when they have in
creased enough.
