THE MELANCTHON
Is to Be Converted Into Sea
Going Lighter-The S. S.
keana.

The United States War Department
| has purchased the hulk Melancthon and
chartered the S. S. Kaena, for service
in connection with the work at Pearl
Harbor. The Melancthon is being fit
ted up as a barge to carry sand. 1t
is designed to take her to Hanapepe,
Kauai, where large quantities of the
mountain sand has found its way down
to the seashore. There this sand will
be loaded into her by suction dredger
and then she will be towed back to
Pearl Harbor where the work of fortifi-
cation has begun. This sand is said to
have qualities very much desired in
this work, and for that reason is be-
ing secured. The little s S. Kaena
will tow her back and forward.
The Kaena will this morning tow a
pile driver down to Pearl Harbor where
this work is to begin. The pile driver
has been put in perfect order while
lying in the slip between the Naval
wharves, and is already for service az
soon as it gts down to Pearl Harbor.
The first work to be done is the con-
struction of a wharf and that is what
the pile driver is being taken there
for.

a thousand rifles of the latest United

here, as the shipping directions indi-
Gated. for the National Guard. But it
looks as though they weren't.
BY the sherman yesterday there ar
rived fifty cases of rifles, each con-
tanning ten, the cases all marked, 'The
Governor, State OF. Hawaii, Honolulu. y
These rifles are from the arsenal at
Rock Island, ILL., On each end of each
case there is stenciled a complete in
ventory of what it contains. Accord
ing to this, each case contains ten
rifles. model of 1908, caliber so, cart
ridge of model of 1906, and sights of
1906 Then there is a list of the ap-
pliances which go with the guns, cases,
brushes, oilers, sights, two screw
drivers and one book of instructions.
There are several cases of bayonets
sent. to the Goyernor-enough certain
ly for his private use for a long time.
There are also some other cases OF
military goods for the Governor.
If the thousand rifles brought by the
Alameda and these as well are all for
the National Guard, it will be enough
to give every man about three rifles
apiece But it is believed now that
the rifles which came by the Alameda
were not intended for the National
Guard, but for the troops at Fort
shafter and such other troops as shall
later be sent here. The rifles that the
Sherman brought are sufficient in
number to supply the National Guard.
1T is not understood from the IN
structions on each case whether these
rifles are of the model of 1908 remod-
eled to conform to the latest design
or whether they are the rifle of that
date not remodeled.
The Sherman brought large guam
tity of ammunition for the army post
at Fort Shafter.
