WASHINGTON, D. c., April 90
The Senate Naval Committee began
consideration today of the annual ap-
preparation bill for the Navy. Senator
Hale, the chairman, favors putting
thereon as an amendment the House
bill for dry dock, shops, and channel
dredging at Pearl Harbor. This will
probably be done and, if it is done, will
bring that important measure for Ha-
waii one step nearer final enactment
at this session of Congress.
The committee will be asked to in
crease the appropriation of 100000 for
dredging the channel 1t will be rep
resented to the Senators that larger
sum will be necessary to make the chan
mel navigable for big ships by the time
the dry dock and the shops are com
pleted. There is some hope that the
committee viii assent to doubling that
appropriation and possibly to make it
100000.
The Navy Department wants the
total authorization of $2,700,000, which
was the House figure, increased. Navy
officers claim that that sum will not
be sufficient. Delegate Kalanianaole
and Mr.. Mcclellan are not altogether
certain of the expediency of making
such request. They fear it might en-
danger the entire proposition, but are
sounding some influential Senators for
advice on the question.
Two items of Importance to the Ter
ritory in the matter of lighthouses have
occurred during the past week. The
House Committee on Interstate Com
meree has reported favorably bill ap-
propriating $4,000 for the reimburse
ment of the Territory for maintaining
lighthouses after annexation. This
bin was favorably reported to the
House in the last Congress but failed
to become a law.
The same committee has also reported
an omnibus bill for new lighthouses,
which includes an appropriation of
$4,000 for a new lighthouse on Kauai.
It is somewhat doubtful whether the
bill can become q law at this session
but it has chance before the Goth
Congress comes to close.
Mr. Mcclellan had a hearing few
days ago before the subcommittee on
appropriations that is preparing the
Sundry Civil bill for the House. He
asked an appropriation of $4,000 for
conducting photographic surveys in the
Territory The subcommittee was non
eommital about its attitude but prob
ably viii be against the item. Chair

viii Spend a Week in
This Harb0r.

There was not picture postal card
at Punta Arenas when we got there;
the American fleet had bought up
every one Confound the American
fleet, we said. And when we got to
Callao there was not a postal to be
had; that American armada, they told
US, with the twenty thousand men, had
purchased every picture, and so again
we said, all of us, confound that Amer
lean fleet!
But, ha, ha, we beat them this time,
Here we are in Honolulu, away ahead
of your great armada, and we can buy
all the picture post cards we sdesire
before the fleet gets a chance, and,
have to laugh about it. we will get to
Yokohama before the fleet gets there
and we will beat the fleet everywhere
after this, and there will be all the
picture post cards we want without
that big fleet interfering
Laughing heartily, Commander An
tonic Continho Comes Pereira, in COM
mand of the Brazilian training ship
Benjamin Constant, which arrived yes
terday afternoon from Callao, made
the above declaration to a representa-
tive of the Advertiser last evening.
But, though the idea of the American
fleet buying up all the picture post
cards in every port of cali on it's $4,000
mile run from Hampton Roads to the
California coast amused him immense
ly, and the fact that he can now buy
postals head of the fleet amused him
more, the gallant commander laughed
which appeared to be news to him,
that the American fleet was to cali at
Yokohama. He made no comment but
merely slapped his thigh and went into
delighted peals of laughter. The fact
seemed to touch a strategic sympathy
somewhere in the immediate vicinity
of his humorous vein, perhaps as an
example Of how war-talk often ends in
a love-feast. or something else.
The Benjamin Constant is a pleasure
to the eye. Steam she can, and sail
she can, and she carries three square
rugged masts, bristles with guns and
is much protected over her wooden
bottom.
She is a training ship, for young
officers" as says her commander, to
make them efficient. Aboard there are
$50 marines and sailors and a fine lot
of officers whose names are given be-
low.
The Constant left Rio de Janeiro the
day the American feet under Admiral
Evans sailed from that port and was
behind the fleet for thousands of miles.
She had pleasant run from Callao
and expects to remain here about
week and then proceed leisurely to
Yokohama, Nagasaki, Kobe, Shanghai,
Hongkong. Manila, Singapore, Coion-

OAHU MUST RAISE TROOPS TO

Major Ham Urges Strengthening of National
Guard to Supplement the Regulars
to Be Stationed Here.

d Uncle Sam will furnish a minimum
Nforce cf one thousand men to man the
U coast defense artillery now being in
stalled on Oahu and he will send more
soldiers here as a permanent force for
the land defenses for the batteries, CIV
ing this island many more of the men
of the regular army than any other
portion of the United States in proper
tion to the size of the Territory, bat
all the men that can be spared will
not be sufficient to man the guns or
defend thems from attacks in the rear.
Hawaii must make up the balance. For
coast defense work militia auxiliary
force of five hundred men will be need
ed and large proportion of the troops
to be thrown into the land defense
works at the time of need must be
national guardsmen, trained and ready
for the task.
This was the substance of the re-
marks made yesterday by Major w.
w. Haan, Coast Artillery, u. s. A, and
a principal member of the board map
ping out the coast defenses OF the Uni-
ted States. in an address before the
Chamber of Commerce. He did not
deal specifically with the extent of
Aahe coast batteries to be installed or
5 now going in, nor reduce his state
ments of the number of men required
to figures, but he created the very sat
isfactory impression that the Territory
in general and Oah.- in particular was
to come into its own in the way of
attention from the Army and Navy
departments.
Major Haan is -acting under general
order from the War Department, which
makes him, with Lieutenant Colonel
Wotherspoon, of the general staff, a
member of a board that is to meet in
each of the many coast artillery dis
tricts of the United States to go over
the ground for the purpose of consid-
ering questions pertaining to the pro-
lection of the seacoast forts from at
tacks by land. In the original order
Hawaii was not included and he is here
in pursuance OF a special order. He
is regarded as an authority on coast
defense by the War Department, prac-
tically the whole present scheme of
the coast defenses of the United states
having originated with him. His re-
marks therefore have the greater sig
nificance and interest
At the meeting yesterday he was in
troduced by E. d. Tenney, President
Morgan of the Chamber of Commerce
being out of the city. His address
was:

Senator Foraker, then Governor Of

action of Mr.. Cleveland, resulting in the

say that the illegality of the proposed
procedure was made the most of, and
counsel was retained to enjoin the au-

property of the Government, and the
Executive had no right to dispose of

among them one from Douglas County,

wide circulation The National Tribune
has. 1t was a source of real, genuine
pleasure to meet these old comrades,
who had journeyed so many miles to he
present, and the warm and f.fandly
greeting accorded them fully attested
the great esteem in which they are
held. Fourteen deaths were reported
as having occurred since our last meet

1t almost goes without saying that
the Congressional Committee is already
turning every possible wheel. The Chair
man, Representative Mckinley, of Illi-
nois, is rapidly getting a line on the To-
calities most disaffected. AS rapidly as
can be done he is applying treatment.
The committee is pretty well supplied
with funds, and money will not be
spared where it can be of use. Litera-

stumping program mapped out. The
best Republican orators in the House are
being drafted for all the time they can
spare from their own districts. They
will be moved into the close districts

idly as possible Within 10 days a big

Reunion Was at Racine.

IL Editor National Tribune: Your re.
port of the Department Encampmeni
OF wisconsin needs little correction
as the Encampment was held in Racine
instead of Kenosha. The reception
given in Kenosha by Comrade Simmons
was an annual affair of his own, and
speaks volumes for his patriotism and
love for the old soldiers No man in
the State of Wisconsin, and 1 doubt if in
any other State, has done more for the
old vets in general and the city of
Kenosha in particular than Comrade
Simmons, and all the old soldiers have
fatherly affection for him. Unfor-
tunately Racine has no Simmons in
her midst. but has a population of $500
true, loyal and patriotic citizens, who
We'd with each other in making the En-
campment the grandest success of any
ever held in the State. In conclusion,
let me say, all praise for Racine and
her patriotic citizens and all honor to
our sister city, Kenosha, and her grand
old man, Comrade Simmons.-N. G.
