WAR PREPARATIONS.
Fertilization of Hawaii and Philippines
to Be Hurried.

Chicago, July "a dispatch to the
Tribune from washington says:
There is to be no delay on the part
of the war department in utilizing the
appropriations made at the last session
of congress for fortifying the American
dependencies in the Pacific ocean.
In order that the keys to these pos
sessions may be put in condition for
defense as rapidly as possible, the de-
partment is arranging for the trans
portation of ordnance material pur-
chased for American coasts to Hawaii
and the Philippines, and will replace
it at once with funds which became
available July L.
The appropriations included $780,
900 for the construction of seacoast
batteries in the Hawaiian Islands and
100000 for the same purpose in the
Philippines. For accessories $3.50, 600
was granted and for the construction
of mining classmates, etc, necessary
for the operation of submarine mines,
100000 was authorized. For the pur-
chase of submarine mines and the
necessary appliances to operate them
an appropriation of $205,400 was
made.
1t is understood that orders have
been issued to the transport Crook to
make a special trip to Honolulu and
Manila. The transport will carry mines
for Pearl harbor in Hawaii and
Olongapo in Subig> bay, the two points
which would have to be defended in
the event of war.

TO THE WHEAT FIELDS.
The Tempting Harvest Wages Take
Men From the Railroads.

Wichita, Kan. July 9.-The railways
entering the city are complaining of a
shortage of help in the clerical, freight
and mechanical departments. The main
cause of the scarcity just now is the
temptations offered by employment in
the harvest fields. =
In the western part of the state, it
is said, the freight handlers and Sec
ton hands have gone to the harvest
fields, leaving only the foreman in
charge.
1t is announced from the office of A.
H. Webb. superintendent of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railway, in this city, that
the scarcity of station agents at the
present time is the most serious in the
history of the road. Agents are needed
at points on the Wichita division, and
the company has no available men.
George Howell, division foreman of
the Frisco roundhouse in this city, is
in receipt of telegram from the fore
man at Monett, Mo-. asking for four
firemen from Wichita. The Wichita
foreman, however, is not only una BILE
to send any men to Monett, but he is
also short of men here.
