CRUISERS COMING
WITH BATTLEsHIPS
REroRTED THAT LOCAL wATBRs
WILL BE soENB OF FALL
MANEUvERs

Among local service people there is
a well-dohncd rumor that not only win
the cruiser squadron Of the Pacific feet
be sent here early this fall for maneu'
vers, but that one or two battleships
will accompany them.
Magdalena Bay has been abandoned
as maneuvering waters for the Pacific
feet, and the only maneuvers which
have so far been designated for the
warships at present arc series Of
speed trials along the Coast between
San Francisco and Puget Sound.
There is a feeling among service peo'
pie that Hawaiian waters will be Sc,
iected for the next general naval ma
neuvers and that the cruisers will this
year be augmented by battleships.
Whether or not target practise win be
held here is problematical, but this fea-
ture of the sea duty is also quite likely.
1t is stated here that the fall maneu-
vers, if held in Hawaiian waters, will
have more than usual interest. for by
that time the FIRE control at Diamond
Head win have been entirely completed
and in readiness for any service to
which it may be put in connection with
the use Of the mortars at Fort Rugcr,
the smaller caliber guns at Fort Arm.
strong and the big twelve-inch guns of
Fort Kamehameha at Pearl Harbor.
The use Of these guns, with the fire
control, would be related to naval ma
neuvers only in case Of the rumored
joint maneuvers of army and navy were
actually ordered.
Army and navy officers state that the
waters of Hawaii and the series of for
tifications along the coast of Oahu pre-.
sent an ideal condition for joint ma
neuvers. Searchlights have been in.
stalled at Diamond Head and are prac-
tically ready for use. The fire control
connects up with all the Fort Ruger
guns, and the mortars, which have been
in the hands of mechanics for the past
year, are now ready for proving. This
latter test win be done next week, in
all probability, as Captain Platt, ord.
nance department, will arrive here on
the transport Logan to inspect and
prove them. and this means that they
will be discharged and pronounced
ready for action. unless, as in former
trial. some mechanical defects are
found.
The twelve-inch guns at Pearl Har.
Dor have been mounted for more than
a year and are ready for testing. They
will be ready for actual use this fall.
although there is no provision for man.
ming the batteries. The mine planting
station is being prepared at Fort Arm,
strong.
With all these accessories of the
army ready for use, the rumor of Joint
army and navy maneuvers is more de-
fined than ever.

Will BUILD
FORT RUGER
CONSTRUCTING QUARTERAGAsTER
MAY START WORK IN A
FEW WEEKS.

With the arrival of Captain Edwards,
constructing quartermaster, U. 8. A., on
the transport Logan next week, con
strnction work win be commenced at
Fort Ruger. This win be permanent
work involving the erection of rein
forced concrete quarters for officers and
barracks for enlisted men.
Captain Edwards will be accom-.
panied by staff of men who have been
at work under him ON construction of
this nature at other posts, and the work
will therefore be in the hands of train
ed and experienced craftsmen.
There are several sets of quarters for
officers and at least one large barracks,
and possibly two, for enlisted men. The
new buildings will replace the tenn.
porary frame structures now in the post.
When completed, Fort Ruger will have
a chance to develop as model post.
The model post of the Pacific is at pres
ent Fort Shafter.

Colonel Jones, acknowledgement Of
the National Guard of Hawaii, awaited
further instructions from Washington
yesterday relative to the number and
selection of officers of the First Regi-
ment, N. G. H., for service ON the Mex
lean border, but received no further in
formation.
He is officially unaware at present of
the reason for mobiHzing troops of the
United States Army, or the call for
militia officers, but is ready to carry
out any instructions which the national
government may oner through Governor
Frear.
Whatever the nature or the require
ments of national guard officers on the
border, Colonel Jones regards this as
one of the greatest opportunities
offered local militia officers to get first
knowledge of field mobilizing and as
an admittance to an advanced school of
instruction where militiamen will see
putsto PRACTICAL use some Of the things
impaired to them last year by Colonel
Bullard at the camp of instruction, es-
tablished near Fort Shafter.
Colonel Jones has taken cognizance
of the fact that even though officers be
designated and ordered to the mainland
there will be no regular passenger yes
sci leaving Honolulu until about March
"a, and if the officers leave on that
vessel they will not arrive in San Fran
cisco until March 30, but within three
or four days from that time they can
be with the portion of the army occu-
pying the borderline in southern Cali
fornia. In all likelihood the Hawaiian
officers will be attached to the troops
encamped near Tia Juana, near which
the Thirtieth Infantry is stationed. The
Thirtieth was sent south from the
Preside.

CHICAGO BUSINESS
MEN NOT COMING
(From saturday,s Advertiser. !

(From Saturdays Advertiser.)
Secretary Wood of the chamber Of
commerce received the following cable
gram yesterday morning from Chicago:
"oriental tour abandoned. Mime
sofa disabled.
'CHAMBER OF COMMERCE"
The big liner put back to Japan re-
Gently owing to an accident to her ma
chinery AS she will not get back to
the United States in time to prepare
for the trip back, and as no other
steamship was available for the excuf-
sion planned, the Chicago business men
have had to give up their trip.
Secretary Wood stated yesterday that
even with the other excursions from
the Northwest all off, had the Mime
sofa come to Honolulu with the big
crowd of Chicago business men booked,
that one excursion would have rounded
off the tourist season nicely. AS it is,
Honolulu, he says, loses an invallable
opportunity to welcome members of
one of the most progressive business or
ganizations in the United States and to
derive the advertising advantages that
such visit would bring to Hawaii.

JOBS RUN OUT WHEN
THE MONEY Is PAU

The public works department has
found it necessary to drop the harbor
Inspector, a janitOr and several earpen-
ters from its waterfront force. 1t is
stated that a lack Of funds is the rea-
SON for the laying off of these men,
but it is expected that later, when more
money is available, the men win be re-
instated.
The removal of the harbor inspector
leaves no one to wateh the waterfront
for the landing Of the various sorts Of
freight that require the vigilance Of
such an inspector. It Is thought by
some Of the discharged men that II the
public works department wished 1t,

KNOCK FREE HOUSES
OUT IN ONE ROUND
(From saturday,g Adrertiaer.l

u
The scheme to provide nice comfort.
able homes for homesteaders at the ex.
pense of the Territory received
knockout blow in the house yesterday
when the committee on agriculture
recommended that the bill be tabled.
'and this was what happened to it in
a hurry.
The report of the committee, which
explains the purpose of the bill, also
gives the reasons for the recommends
tion to bury it. As the matter is one
of interest to homesteaders of all
ibrands, it is given in part as follows:
This Act reads into Act 33, Session
Laws of 1909, mandatory direction to
the board of immigration to construct
fencing, water tanks, dwelling and out
Buildings for homesteaders in the sum
of 5000 each, up to total expenditure
of not less than 100000 per annum
or more than $250,000.
"We believe that underlying prin-
ciple of assistance to homesteaders is
sound, but that the method indicated
by this bill is seriously at fault. 1t
means, as set forth, the expenditure of
not less than 100000 per year for two
hundred unknown persons without anv
Safeguarding of either their interest OF
the interest of the Territory. The
terms of the act lack definiteness and.
detail and the opportunities for ill.con-
sidered use of public money are ap-
parent.
"We firmly believe that homestead
ing should be encouraged to the utmost
by the construction of roads, improve
ment of transportation facilities, adver-
tisement and conduct of persons to
available land, but finding that this act
does not seem to be calculated to hasten
location by homesteaders, we recon-
mend that it be tabled"

Demonstration May Be
Result Of What Is
Suspected.
Mexico Will Resent ANY
intervention, Says
Her Envoy.

WASHINGTON, March lit Is
rumored here that the real object Of the
American demonstration Of armed force
on the Mexican border is to show
Mexico that the United States will not
permit the granting on the part Of
Mexico of any naval station privileges
on the Pacific Coast to any power other
than America.
Japanese Are Meant.
CITY OF MEXICO. March 1.-THE
rumor that it is the intention of Mexico
to grant any concessions to the Japa-
nese government in the way of privi-
leges to establish a naval station in
Lower California, or the privileges Of
transporting supplies over the Isthmian
Railroad in time of war, is vigorously
denied by Minister Creel of the deparf-
ment of foreign affairs. The ministar
declares that the rumor, said to be in
circulation in Washington and believed
to be the reason for the mobilization of
the American army, is without founda-
tion.
Mexico Resents Interference.
WASHINGTON, March 1l.-Tbat
Mexico viii resent the intervention of
the United States, or any other country.
IN relation to the present revolution. on
the plea that armed interference is nee
essary for the protection of the prom.
erty or the persons of foreigners, is the
statement plainly made last night by
ambassador de la Barra of Mexico
Ihe envoy declares that Mexico her
sen is fully competent and willing to
protect all interests within her bou1da.
Iies, ana neither desires nor will brook
interference.
Looks Serious to London.
LONDON, March 1.-THE concentra-
ton of an American army on the Next
can border is being watched here with
the greatest official and public interest.
u is generally regarded that the situa-
tion between the two countries must
be very serious to call for such DEM
onstration.
The fact that the first movement of
troops was excused on the intimation
that Washington had to act to prevent
British and German intervention in
Mexico, and that official deniaIs of this
were made both here and in Berlin
ADDS to the interest in the alleged ma.
neuvers.
Germany's Denial.
BERLIN, Germany March 1O.-It is
otiicially stated here that Germanv has
not made representations to the United
states, through its representatives at
Washington, in regard to the protection
OF German subjects in Mexico. The of.
nelal statement adds that Germany has
not contemplated any action in the
matter.

Poi Not Forgotten.

A request was presented to the board
of supervisors last night to pass a poi
regulating ordinance. The board of
health stands ready to supply it with
all the necessary data, the standards
that should be set, which have been
prepared after several months of quiet
work and experiment, and any other
features that might be required.
There wasn' t very much space taken
up in the request and there WASH t very
much howery diction wasted ON it.
Neither was there in the Kewalo filling
order or the tishmarket order. The
board of health, in the latter case mere.
ly took cOgnizance of the fact that it
had stepped into the control of the fish
market, flushed it and scrubbed it until
1t was as clean as a lady's parlor and
ordered it kept clean.
A poi ordinance will probably be pre-
sented to the supervisors before very
long by its health committee and unless
some other road supervisor has to have
another clerk, it win probably be rushed
through.

Other Plague Spots.

Neither Kewalo, nor the fishmarket,
nor poi is taking up all the interest
of the board Of health but its members
have adopted fighting" mood, 10 all
appearances, and are jumping on every
insanitary feature that they can dis
cover.
The great pineapple dump in the Ha-
waiian Pineapple Company's yard was
one of the first insanitary things to be
ordered removed by the board, acting
on powers specifically bestowed upon
il by law.
DR.. Carl Ramns, chief quarantine Of
fieer of the port, declares this dump one
of the worst places in the city aud a
constant menace. Should il once be-
come infected, Ramus claims, the board
will have on its hands the hardest task
il has encountered yet.
Kalihi and Palama have been inspect
ed and the board is now thoroughly ae-
quainted with the condition of the city.
What will happen next remains TO be
seen and the responsible residents hope
that the present energy viii not dimin-
ish until the end Of the good work has
been reached and the medical officers
Of the Territory have done the last they
could 10 make the city what It's promo
ton officers claim for II.

The sanitary committee of the board

ings, and has frequently been represent.
ed in full, but always represented any.
way, at the board meetings, although
the health department of the city, ow.
ing to press of business, was not always
there.
Kruger and his associates are there.
fore well acquainted with what the
board of health is doing, what it wants
done and how it is going to do it and
stand ready to assist it in any way in
which the city can.
