DUNDEE UNDER
RUSSIAN FLAG

Russian ship Dundee. Captain Gus
tafson, 1876 days from Leith with full
cargo of fertilizer and pig iron, con-
signed to the Hawaiian Fertilizer
Company, was off port this morning
and towed to the railway wharf by the
Intrepid, docking about 10 o'clock
The Dundee Is a likely looking craft
She passed the American ship Dirlgo
as she approached port, the Dirigo be-
ing off port from Baltimore at mid
night and at daylight the pair of wind
tanners, picture calculated to make
an old-time sailor weep to think how
steam is crowding these beauties off
the wet side Of the map.
They are both ships, by the way, not
shipentines or four-masted barks, or
four-masted Darques, but ships, accord
ing to the American reckoning, four
masters and squared on fore, main and
mizzen.
The Dundee was built in Scotland
for the Calcutta coolle trade. AT the
beginning of this voyage she was
bought by a Russian house and she
flies the Russian flag and most of ner
crew are from the starboard bow sec
tion of Europe.
For three weeks at the start the
Dundee had rough weather shaking
Scotland, but there has been nothing
of serious adventure in the trip.
Coming around the Horn four four
masters were sighted, at considerable
distance, eastward bound.
Just bit above the equator in this
ocean a full-rigged double-topgallanted
wind machine was sighted, pointing
north. She may have been the ship

nobody on the waterfront today seems
to be sure. The Bangalore is on the
reinsurance list.

Larger Garrison
At Fort Shafter

From a statement made by Major
William G. Haan, of the Coast Artil
lery, who is down here on a special
mission of the war department in con
nection with the defence of Honolulu
and Pearl Harbor from attack by an
invading land force, it seems likely
that there will be a much larger gar
rison placed at Fort Shafter in the
near future. In speaking of the mat
ter this morning he said:
Il have been detailed to come here
for the purpose of reporting to the
War Department on the matter Of
the defence of these islands if attack
ed by an invading force. have no.
thing to do with the defence from a
naval attack, but in case a military
force should be landed there will be
need of defences for which | am eX-
pected to recommend plans.
1T has been the general opinion
of all who have investigated the situa-
tion here, that there should be more
troops. You are open to attack here
and in case of trouble, the Coast Ar
tilleTy, which will be stationed in the
present barracks on completion Of
the Notifications, would be unable to
defend themselves against attack
from the rear. For this reason a good
sized force of infantry would be need
ed.
''In case it is found that it will be
impossible for us to prevent the land
ing of military force on the island,
it will then be necessary to make
plans by which the enemy can be
kept far enough back from the fortifi-
cations to prevent them from reach
ing the works with field guns.

matter of defence of the group Of
islands, shall pay most of my at

FIRST OVERTURES
FOR PEARL HARBOR
CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER
GEORGE BROWN WITH DIR. JUDD, HAWAIIAN MINISTER
FOREIGN AFFAIRS THE KAMEHAMEHA nI-HA-
wAIIAN GOVERNMENT WAS CORDIAL TO THE PROPOSITION

The fact that Congress has at last
made an appropriation for work at
Pearl Harbor has brought up the first
attempts which were made to obtain
a footing for the naval forces of the
United States in these islands. Archiv-
list Lydecker, in his researches through
the old documents which are under his
charge. has unearthed letters which
show the first advances made by the
United States with a view to securing
a naval depot here.
These were made as far back as 1874,
through George Brown, then Commits
siOner of the United States to the Ha-
waiian Islands, and were made to DR..
G. P. Judd, then Secretary of State and
Foreign Affairs, in the reign of Kane
hameha III. The advances made were
received in a most cordial and friendly
spirit and Mr.. judd promised the as
sistance of the Hawaiian Government
in every possible manner.
The letters which passed between
Commissioner Brown and Secretary
Judd should prove interesting at the
present time. They read as follows

The undersigned Commissioner OF
the United States begs leave to enquire
of Mr.. Judd, his Hawaiian Majesty's s

Hawaiian Group, and if not, what faci-
lities would be rendered to the Govt.

Chairman and Members OF the Hawaii

Gentlemen:-We continue to receive
clippings by every mail, referring to
the Annual Floral Parade, which will
soon be as well known and as general
ly looked forward to as the New Or
leans Mardi Gras. The leading auto
mobile journals will have illustrated
descriptions of the event and the La

photographs. The next number of the
Marine Review, published at Cleveland,
Ohio, will have a description of the
yacht Hawaii, as also will Power Boat
ing.
Mr.. Ayres has done some splendid
work in sending out yachting news and
as soon as all the entries have been
made we will arrange for a series of
weekly letters to the secretaries OF
yacht clubs throughout the United
States and Canada, and will also see
that extended mention is made of the
race in our regular news service be-
sides forwarding clippings from the To-
cal papers to different shipping and

conclude to establish such depot.
The undersigned has no doubt that
Mr.. Judd must be aware of the advan-
tages likely to accrue to these islands
by such an arrangement. They would
be great, both in regard to the money
which would be expended and also in
the protection extended to the Govern
ment of H. Majesty

Office of Secretary of Foreign Affairs,
Honolulu, End February, 1874.
Sir.-I have had the honor to receive
your letter of yesterday enquiring
whether any objection would be made
by the Hawaiian Government to the
establishment of naval depot by the
Government of the United States at
Honolulu or some other port in the
Hawaiian Islands and what facilities
woud be rendered in case such an es-
tablishment were determined on.
In reply to these enquiries it gives
me great pleasure to assure you that
the Hawaiian Government, being
aware of the advantages which would
accrue to these islands from such de-
pot, could have no possible objection
to its being made at once Indeed the
probability of its being desired having
been suggested by several American
officers, a lease of what is considered

Secretary Mott-Smith Went over to
Kaneohe yesterday afternoon with
the Castle party and spent the night.
His purpose was to examine certain
lands now held by j. B. Castle under
an old crown lease which expires in
1913. Mr.. Castle expects to build a
large pineapple cannery in Koolau dis
trict in the very near future and wish
es to see the land around it taken up
in small holdings by citizens. For
this reason it has been proposed that
he should surrender the lease and al
low the Government to throw the land
open to settlers under the right of
purchase and residence clauses.
AS yet the matter is entirely in a
preliminary stage and no applications
for leases can be received. In case
it is decided to surrender the lease
the matter will be taken up more

Mr.. l. A. Nadeau, Director-General OF
the AlaskaYukon Exposition, writes
that he is still hopeful of securing fav-
orable action for their bill, now before
Congress, which provides three hun
dred thousand dollars for government
buildings, including a separate build
ing for Hawaii, connected with the
main building by colounades The
amount appropriated for Hawaiian ex-
hibit, as per House bill, is fifty thou
sand dollars ($5O,OOO) while the Senate
bill carries twenty-five thousand dol
lars ($25000). In the event of the leg
islation carrying the appropriations
will be spent under the direction OF
the Secretary of the Interior and
should result in some excellent adver-
tising for Hawaii. We have written to
Governor Frear requesting him, upon
reaching Washington, to offer the SER
vices of the Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee to assist in every way possible.
| regret to say, however, that there is
considerable opposition to the bill and
there is no certainty that it will pass.
We continue to receive an increasing
number of inquiries for information as
to agricultural opportunities in Hawaii
and believe that our forthcoming pub
lication on Agriculture in Hawaii"
will prove of great benefit to the Ter
ritory.
