It is true that at this moment the
island of Oahu, the one upon which
Honolulu and the chief wealth of the
Territory is found, could take care Of
itself both from without and within.
| But on the other islands of the group
lno such feeling of security is found;
and it is with much good reason that
the American people of those islands
are strongest in urging that a force
of troops sufficient to meet all and
