the French Premier, delivered nota-
bic address at the annual dinner Of the
Angl American Press Association,

'You know France at first hand;

CABLES HOLD OUT
PROMISES OF PAY TO
BROKE" SOLDIERS

Cabed orders to Paymaster Cooke,
department of Hawaii, yesterday morn
ing, directed that officer to notify the
division paymaster at San Francisco
what money would be necessary to pay
off the troops stationed on Oahu for
the month of June. The order came as
a surprise to the department.
cts very encouraging, said an
army officer, "and looks as if they
were getting ready to pinre to the
credit of our paymaster enough money
to pay officers and men for June.
Its encouraging also because it
looks as if the payInaster would be
able to pay Off the officers for July
with the money he has on hand. With
one months pay for the troops ont of
the way, and another mouth 5 pay for
the officers the situation would ease mp
appreciably.
Meanwhile officers and men are anx-
iously watching for the paymaster to
leave his office with guard and many
bags of gold. Then, and then only,
will they believe that Uncle Sam is
keeping his promises.
''Got your pay yet7" inquired an
infantry lieutenant of an army doctor
yesterday afternoon as both of them
gazed wistfully at the First National
bank, where the paymaster s deposits
are kept.
mop" was the terse reply, "but
] hope something will drop in a few
days. I'm going broke"
There are hundreds of others who
entertain the same sentiments.
Tae soldiery on Oahu, however, at
this time is payless, and the depart
ment faces the same identical situa-
tion that it did on the first of July un.
I'll special appropriations for twelfth
of year were made by congress for
the month of July, pending the solution
of the congressional squabble over the
army appropriation bill The navy
here is practically in the same position
as the army.

MAY ASSIGN Pipes
TO OIL COMPANY
Board of Harbor Commissioners
Is Considering Water
front Improvement.

AS the Associated Oil Company of
California has practically a monopoly
in supplying fuel oil to the various
steamship companies regularly calling
at this port, including the Matson Navi-
cation Company, Oceanic Steamship
Company, American-Hawaiian Company
and the Togo Kisen Kaisha line, the
board of harbor commissioners yester-
day decided that if any arrangement
can be legally made to assign the pro
posed government oil pipe line to the
company which is doing most of the
business of the port, an agreement
should be entered into between the com
mission and the company.
1t was felt that lease could not
be made as that would give the pipe
line entirely into the control of the
one company. The idea of assigning
the use of the pipe line was thought
the best way out of the dilemma and
met with general approval. The attor-
ney-general will be asked to pass upon
that phase of the matter.
When the business of the port so de-
velops that another oil company may
secure contracts that will require the
use of the pipe line the fast company
will have to agree to some arrangement
whereby both may use it.
Should the Associated Oil Company
be given the right to use the pipe line,
the company will install a powerful
pumping plant.

were turned down as being impossible
to agree to under the provisions of the
law.

EXPECTING LARGE
Pine SHIPMENTS
Lines Believe Season About TO
Open Win Be Busiest in
Years.

The steamship lines are anticipating
one of the largest years in history Tor
the shipment of pineapples. Already
large shipments are being made and
within the next few weeks the season
will be on in full blast.
The Pacific Mail liners are carrying
their capacity from this port as was in
dieated by the large shipment taken by
the China Tuesday. The Oceanic
steamships win carry their limit of
pineappies together with large guam
titles of sugar. As usual, the Amer
lean Hawaiian freighters will leave
with immense shipments for New York
and European ports.
John Drew of the Matson line stated
in regard to the outlook in shipments,
"We expect this year Is output of pine
apples to be the largest in history.
Our steamships are in position to
carry their capacity to the Coast. Last
year the Lurline carried $4,000 cases,
which is one of the largest shipments
ever carried on one vessel and we are
in position to do better than this dur
ing the coming season. 1t is expected
that the Lurline will take on 5000
cases before leaing for the Coast Tues
day. The Wilhelmina will also carry
large shipments. The Enterprise is
expected to care for the output from
Hawaii which will be very large"
"Competition for the carving of
pineapples is very keen among different
steamship companies. During the past
we have been very fortunate in getting
our share of the business and we ex'
pect to do better this year.

HAVANA, July 1S.-Cuba s black
rebellion, the result Of political amb
tion on the part Of General Estcnoz, is
officially over and Estenoz is buried in
Santiago cemetery, but the belief
grows in Havana that there will be
recurrence of revolt in November
at election time or Immediately after
ward.
Agriculturists, especially sugar men,
observe the indications with deep
regret, for November is the time when
they win want to grind what promises
to be Cuba S greatest sugar crop.
Heavy rains of an early wet season
have made the cane flourish. Unset
tied conditions last spring made 1t
necessary to leave much cane uncut,
and if another revolt comes it will
bring further delays and still greater
losses to the plantation owners.
But whatever the future may bring,
the Estenoz revolt is dead, and the
planters in Oriente and Santa Cruz are
thankful for this. Ivonet, its "gener-
nj commanding, declines TO run the
fatal risk of supposing the administra-
ton forces know anything about the
tenets of modern warfare, and is still

ments along the Cauto; the rebels put
bullet through an American resident
at Bayate the other night who looked
out of his window to see what marau-
ders were prowling around his house.
Both Bayate and Paso Estancia say
the sky is hazy with the smoke of
burning farm houses, and the air is
sibillant with bullets after dark, but
the "war is over' and the band is
tuning up on "Hail the Conquering
Hero" for General Monteagudo is ex-
pected home from Oriente soon. From
the backwoods an echo answers for the
country in murmur suspiciously like
"What the hail do we care2"
Agriculturists Apprehensive.
Two million tons is an underestimate
of what is in sight from the sugar
fields if Cuba is permitted to work as
she pleases, but the outlook is not so
encouraging for other industries.
None but local buyers appear now
| in the tobacco districts and they, by
mutual agreement, offer half prices;
therefore the tobacco growers of the
west are not well off, despite the fact
that this crop is good, They are losing
| the reward of its excellence.
Bumper crops of coffee are reported
from the East, and the citrus fruit or
chards of the whole island are setting
magnificent crops. The stevedores
strike here, which held up pineapples
when they should have been going for
ward the fastest; the death of Mr.
Mills, of Chicago, and the demoraliza-
ton of the western market, and the
same heavy rains that have benefited

TO ENLARGE BIG
NAVAL DRYDOCK
Admiral Stanford Talks OF the
Work Being Dune at
Pearl Harbor.

Admiral Stanford was the guest of
the evening at n smoker given last
night in the rooms Of the Commercial
Club by members Of the Hawaiian En-.
gincering Association.
The Admiral gave a descriptive talk
ON the construction of the drydock at
Pearl Harbor, which was illustrated by
a large cross section drawing Of the
work.
Admiral Stanford spoke of the
trouble that had been experienced in
laying the concrete and said that it
was primarily due TO the fact that
there was not enough sand and cement
in the mixture.
at was also found, said the speak,
err, that because of this lean mix, salt
water got into the body of the con.
crete, and there was precipitation of
certain elements which prevented their
adhesion and also resulted in aldisin.

The Admiral illustrated the action
which took place when the salt water
got into the concrete by pouring salt
water into glass containing water
with particles of cement in solution,
showing that Il precipitation of hydrate
occurred.
To Extend Dock.
That the dock will be extended to a
length of thousand feet has been de-
cided, and this work will be given to
the original contractor, as it will be
impracticable to advertise for bids,
said Admiral Stanford. The price will
be arranged by board of three off.

work with a reasonable profit. The

The speaker glimpsed the difficulties
encountered in the construction of the

contractors undertook the work and
failed, The third succeeded.
Conditions here are bad enough, y
conceded the Admiral, "but not SO bad
as those experienced in New York.
