At the beginning of that month the ser vices of a competent professional nurse were employed with the result that the tubercular cases in the city were given needful attention and the death rate from the disease lowered. The members of the league are great ly encouraged over the present pros- poets and the good work accomplished during the past month.
 Ever since the organization of the league in Montgomery 6 year ago last May, 1t has been the intention of the members to employ a capable nurse to look after the sufferers from the dis ease free of charge. But the hopes of the few packers of the league were not fulfilled until last month when the nurse was hired. and the campaign was started in earnest.
 During August seven white and fifteen negro tuberculosis cases were reported in Montgomery and found to be In need of the services of a nurse. The nurse paid li5 visits to these twenty-two cases during the month.
 Although the number of cases re- ported have been about the same this year as they were the year before. the number of deaths this year average about ten per cent less than last year Tuberculosis victims numbered 101 last year in Montgomery. while this year. il the present ratio continues until October 1, only ninety-two deaths will be recorded in the city from the dis ease

SIGNED BY ENGINEERS.
ABANDON THE MANILA STATION.
Coral Belt Would Prevent Landing Of
Enemy and Inland Lake Is an
Ideal Haven.
PRESIDENT APPROVES OF PLAN

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. IL
The President has approved the recon-
mendation of the joint army and navy
board for making Pearl Harbor in the
Hawaiian islands, the great naval sta
ton in the Pacific.
In doing this it was decided that a
temporary naval station only would be
constructed at Olongapo and that the
proposed improvement in Manila harbor
be abandoned. This will save the pro-
lection Of the Philippines to the army.
In Hawaii Pearl Harbor has long
been considered the most available site
for naval station ii all that vast wat
cry desert between California and Asia,
between Alaska and the Antarctic seas.
1t is not only the sole safe harbor of
Hawaii, it is as perfectly adapted to the
needs of a modern naval power as if it
had been planned and dredged and blast
ed out by naval engineers.
Has Inland Lake.
The entrance is seven miles west of
Honolulu: & channel a third of a mile
in width gives access to an inland lake.
six miles by three, divided into four calm
lochs by two peninsulas and a pretty
island The water is from ; to 10 IA
thoms deep; in many places battleshlps
could be moored Immediately alongside

water. No hurricanes can reach this
haven. no malaria broods upon the
shores by night; there is abundant wa
ter from artesian wells, and Honolulu
is but twenty minutes distant by the
railway.
The removal of sandbar, a very sim
pie proposition, will transform these al
most virgin waters into the grandest,
safest, and most attractive harbor in the
world. Nature apparently foresaw- the
destiny of these Pearl Lochs, for she has
wisely built a coral belt, two and one
half miles wide between the inner lochs
and the sea; then to prevent the landing
of an enemy-tO force an attacking fleet
to abandon strategy, to compel it to
transact its business at the fortified front
door, she has concealed beneath the
fawning breakers far out at sea, a dead
ly coral reef, which may be passed only
by ships that steer directly for the har-
Dor entrance.
For more than twenty years this har-
Dor has belonged to the United States,
for it was granted US in 1876, in ex-
change for the remission of duties on
Hawaiian sugar. AS the Traveller looks
upon the waters of the harbor, he re-
members that Hawaii was not slow to
profit by the reciprocity treaty. She
owes to it her present prosperity, but the
United States has not yet seen fit to
dredge out a few thousand tons of sand
and thus open to its ships the grandest
refuge in the western hemisphere.

QUAKE is UNDER OCEAN
ALL CABLES FROM WEST INDIES
ARE OUT OF COMMISSION.
Seismographs Record No Severe Dis
turbances and Aurora Borealis May
Be Cause of Trouble

NEW YORK, Nov. lit is apparent
from the reports received today by the
cable companies with connections in the
West Indies that all the submarine lines
throughout the islands, from Kingston
west to Trinidad on the east, have been
rendered imperative by some agency
which uD to the present time it has been
impossible TO determine.
The circumstances indicate an earth
quake on the floor of the ocean, but to
affect the cable lines throughout the
breadth Of the Indies such disturbance
would have to be remarkable for it's ex-
te1t and severity. No serious earth
quake has been reported from any seis-
mograph station, nor have the meager
reports from the points on the island of
Jamaica, where the cables touch indi-
Gated an earthquake on that island
Ii is possible, however, that some cleo
trlcal disturbance similar to the aurora
borealis will eventually account for the
trouble.
Jamaica has been visited by a severe
storm, with accompanying floods and this
is all that can be learned of the situation
on that island.
The only islands with which telegraph
ic communication can be had today are
Cuba and Hayti, and the shore station at
Jamaica, Holland bay.
1t is equally impossible to reach the
eastern islands of the Indies by way of
Europe and Pernambuco, Brazil.
A meager cable from Holland bay. ia
maica, today reports that q heavy rain,
nigh winds and enormous sea still pre-
vail there. No mention was made of any
earthquake on the island in any of the
reports from there
The Royal Mail steamer Atrato, which
left Kingston Saturday morning, arrived
here today, and reported that no unusual
weather conditions prevailed when she
left Kingston. The Atrato, however, en-
countered some heavy weather soon after
leaving Jamaica
