Spurious American Bills for Circula-

From the Hawaiian star.

From the Hawaiian Star.
The counterfeiting investigation started
here when the transport Sherman was in
port is going on In four widely separated
parts of the world. The authorities are
working in Honolulu, San Francisco, Naga-
saki and Manila. The result is not unlikely
to be an important exposure of making OF
bad American money in the orient, in
which clever japanese artists may play
large part.
No money is easier 10 pass in the orient
than American. for every paper certificate
from Washington is known TO be just as
good as gold itself. and the scheme IS
thought to have been to use the money IN
cities like Nagasaki, where a more or less
imperfect bill is easier TO pass than 1t
would be here or in America. The attempt
to pass bill here was very likely due to
an emergency in the finances of a soldier,
but il has probably exposed the whole
scheme.
careful examination of the counterfeit
S10-bill now In the possession of Dis
trict Attorney Breckons shows that IL was
made By hand, apparently carefully drawn
with pen and ink. This Is the bill which
was offered at SpreclSels Bank while the
transport Sherman was liz port. Under
the microscope tt appears as a very poor
imitation of the real bill. The portrait OF
Mckinley is quite badly drawn. The gen.
eral appearance of the bill IL merely
glanced at in an ordinary way Is fairly
good, however.
Only this one bill has come ipto the pos
session of the authorities here, and il is
thought to be the only one In town. There
was one other attempt to pass bill, II Is
believed, at the Young Hotel. A soldier
from the transport offered a bill at the
bar, handing 1t to the barkeeper folded up
in such manner as to hide some portions.

handed out some silver.

her way here. Japanese were easily I'M

stuck to the amount of 5000 or 500.

e~T HE officials of the Navy Depart
ment in Washington are plan
ming to begin work on the big
naval training and coaling sta
ton at San Diego, Cal, during
the coming winter. or some time next
spring. anyhow. Five years ago the train
ing station on Goat Island. near San Fran
cisco, was virtually condemned as totally
unsuitable TO the needs and uses OF the de-
partment. Its lack of space could have
been easily remedied. but there were other
considerations that prompted the entire re-
moval of the establishment. II was found
that the sudden and severe climatic
changes, together with the heavy fogs so
prevalent there. were injurious TO the health
Of the naval apprentices, particularly those
from the interior.
That dread scourge. diphtheria, became al
most periodical in it's visitations the train
ing exercises were too frequently interrupt
ed by sickness and arctic-laden storms
sweeping down the coast. Another inherent
defect of the present station arises from
the currents and counter-currents about
Goat Island and the tidal influence upon
them. In rough weather training exercises
are rendered exceedingly dangerous, sew
eral drowning accidents having occurred
on different occasions.
In the winter of 1900 Admiral Bradford
visited the Pacific coast with instructions
TO seek out the best location for the training
station He inspected places along the
coast. and finally recommended a site on
San Diego bay. This project of the re-
establishment of the training station was
promptly approved by the department all
the more readily as IL accorded with de-
sign previously considered to establish
coaling station at San Diego.
Every war vessel navigating the Pacific
coast calls at San Diego TO coal; hence the
need of thoroughly equipped coaling sta
ton at this point is conceded. Even the
jealous rivalries that usually rage between
aspiring sites for the honor and profit of
acquiring a new government institution
have remained quiescent in view of the
manifest advantages of locating the new
coaling station on San Diego bay There
Is some opposition to the transfer of the
training station, but ii is not of a character
that Yields any influence in naval circles.
Notwithstanding the serious deficiencies
and drawbacks of the existing station the
people OF San Francisco and vicinity are
pulling political wires TO prevent It's trans
fer. and they are encouraged and aided by
Los Angeles; not that Los Angeles Is or
could lie a rfval for the site. The senti-

which his improvements stood; for said
Mr.. Plumb, .sthe government has more land
there than it will ever need, and 1t Is
cheaper to pay in that than to take money
from the public treasury.
The substitute was adopted and Rose got
his land and improvements. but the COM
merce he counted upon to develop his town
never went that way. 1t all went to San
Diego. on the eastern side of the bay.
About twelve years ago the United States
Treasury Department purchased two of the
Rose blocks, comprising about five acres
OF land and situated on the water front, as
a site for the marine hospital and quaran-
tine station, Congress passed an act ced-
ing an additional five acres OF government
land. thus giving the hospital authorities
total of ten acres. At this point the huge
hill which extends along the ocean front Is
narrower. as If a big semi-circular cut had

The officials of the Navy Department are
anxious to get the bill through Congress as
early as practicable in the coming winter.
Admiral Nanny of the bureau of equip
ment is now on the Pacific coast fortifying
himself and the department with argu-
ments for an appeal to Congress. 1t is the
purpose of the department to begin the
work OF construction Immediately upon the
passage of the bill They will not wait for
the money appropriated to become avail
able. but will use other funds for the time
being in order to hasten the completion OF
the station. AS matter of fact the eff
cheney of the naval system of training
youths for it's service on the Pacific coast
is involved in this proposed transfer of the
training station. AT Point Iona training
exercises may be conducted every day IN
the year without the least danger of inter-
ruption by elemental disturbance. rag
ing storm may lash the waters OF the ocean,
yet the surface of the land-locked bay will
only be slightly agitated; just enough to
raise miniature white-caps. But at all
times there Is sufficient wind for sailing
maneuvers. Then as to healthfulness, Point
Iona possesses all the conditions of a
veritable health resort. 1t is not surprising
that Admiral Bradford pronounced 1T an
ideal location for training station. The
main which supplies Fort Rosecrans with
water extends through the naval site, only
requiring tapping to provide all the water
needed.
The deep-water channel of San Diego bay
Is very much in the shape of an elongated
letter g." The lower bow of the channel
sweeps round where the quarantine station
Is now located, and 1t is to permit the naval
establishment to reach this deep water that
the quarantine must give way. On piers
extended to this deep water, machinery for
hoisting coal out of vessels delivering 1t,
and bunkers, chutes, etc., for transferring
it to naval vessels will be erected; the war;
ships will coal while lying against these
piers.
The quarantine station will be removed
to government ground adjoining the naval
station. one phase of the agreement being
that the quarantine shall have access
through the naval domain to such of its
functions as must be performed on the
water.

The quarantine station occupies only five
acres of its land site, though some of its

completed less than ten years. 1t is credit

hospital, official residence and barracks for
the employees, machine, blacksmith and
carpenters shops; dispensary, Offices, ETC.,
and very large building fully equipped
with all the most modern scientific ma
chinery and apparatus for disinfecting
fumigating and generally destroying those
insdious germs which prey upon human
nature. This extensive structure, called
1.-The warehouse in station nomenclature,
stands out in the bay several hundred feet,
and, indeed, Is perched on the very edge or
the deep-water channel 1t stands upon
stone piles planted firmly in the bottom or
the bay, and is reached by means of a
broad pier resting upon the same sort OF
the largest ships can lie alongside the
warehouse. where the appliances for
cleansing and purifying can be utilized
with facility and without delay.
The quarantine station is provided with
everything requisite to the efficient per-
Torrance of the work allotted to 1t. The
equipment even includes marine ways for
the repair of the boats of the station. Nor
has the ult1llfarlan entirely fnOn0pOilZeQ the
attention of the mind that directed the con-
struction and equipment of the station.
Whatever the bounty of tropical CLINE
could offer to please the sense of esthetic
taste has been achieved in the orna-

residence. Fruits and flowers are presented
In pleasing combinations and contrasts;
bur the GROWING glory of the yard Is its
rows OF fine shade trees, feature of out

1t is really pity that the needs of gov
ernmeIlt require the destruction of place
SO lovely: but the Navy Department wants
and must have the site of the quarantine
station tor its purposes; and that Is the
real cause of the delay In beginning the
construc ion of the coaiing and training
station.
The ne gotiatiens between the several ex-
ecutiye departments in Washington pro-
ceeded with that courtesy and facility
usual ii, such matters. The War Depart
ment readily conceded the navy all the land
wanted on Point Iona; and the Treasury
Department consented to sacrifice the ex-
tsting quarantine station provided the
money to pay for It's transfer to the Local
ton proposed north of the present site and
Just without the bounds of the proposed
naval establishment, was forthcoming.
That required the action of Congress, as
an appropriation of 500. 900 was estimat ted
for the change. Last winter the Senate
