CABLES
ABOUT BONDS

Official notice of the approval of
the new bond issue, by President Taft,
news of which was cabled the Star
week ago, was received by Acting
Governor Mott-Smith yesterday after
noon from Governor Frear, who
cabled the acting governor just be-
fore leaving the convention for Ho-
nolulu.
The same cablegram contained in
structions to Treasurer Conkling to
meet the governor in San Francisco,
which means that the treasurer will
have to leave here Immediately in
order to meet the governor who, in
company with his wife, will sail in the
Wilhelmina July l. September 8 is
the date given for the actual flotation
of the new bond issue.
The governor also stated that he
had written Attorney General Wick
ersham concerning the necessity for
a speedy appointment to the circuit
judgeship on Kauai, action upon which
has relapsed since May %.

book, he did not permit the honor
to cloud his business sense, for he
charged six per cent interest duly de-
Quoted from the pay of officers and
men at the rate of one half of one
per cent month.
1t is probable that the present
stringency will be relieved by some
up to date banking house, which In
return for the low interest charged
will naturally expect to do a good
business in the future, with those
benefited.
Aside from the lack of pay, it is
probable that the question Of susie
nance for the army will become g
serious matter after July unless con-
gress comes to it's aid in the mean
time. The contracts for much of
the provisions, especially in the Ha-
waiian Islands, are let monthly. Those
for July have been let recently but
the question arises as to whether the
contractors will be willing to bid for
furnishing August supplies if they
learn that payments will not be made
promptly. ......
The situation, as one officer pointed
out this morning, is an excellent ar
gument in behalf OF those who would
take the army out of politics and pre-
vent it being made a laughing stock
for foreign nations which pay their
soldiers and sailors first, and permit
verbose lawmakers to save the coun-
try" when there is nothing else on
the program.

Even June
Pay Of Army
Is Held Up

Headed by Brigadier General De-
spair an army of gloom invaded army
headquarters in the Young building
this morning and marched and coun-
termarched all over the shop, after
ward proceeding to the various forts
about the island.
The invasion of the glooms was en-
tirely due to a cablegram received
by Paymaster Cooke this morning
from Washington stating that because
the appropriation had been exhaust
ed there would be no pay for Off
GERS or men this month.
Captain Cooke was instructed not
to expend more than the funds he
has on hand and the sum in question
is just sufficient to pay off few sol
dlers who will be discharged this
month, and the civilian employees.
Through the veto imposed upon the
army appropriation bill by President
Taft the army had been expecting
that there would be some difficulty
in securing pay for July and possibly
for a few months thereafter, but Of
ficers and men had expected to draw
pay for June, the last month in the
fiscal year. Congress, busy playing
politics, neglected to pass an emerg-
ency deficiency bill such as Is usual
ly passed toward the end Of the fis-
cal year and as a result the ghost
will not walk" this month and there
is a strong probability that it will
not amble into view for several
months.
The failure to pay will affect about
5000 persons Immediately connected
with the army in Hawaii, and a host
OF tradesmen who will have a chance
to show their belief in the stability
of the American government
The situation is much like that in
the year 1877 when J. Pierpont Nor
gan put the army on his payroll and
paid both officers and men through
the firm of DreXel, Morgan & Co., un-
til Congress passed the army appro-
priation bill some six months later
Although ]. Pierpont had the dis
tinction of being the first civilian to
have an army dependent on his check

Many Republicans
Here Are Waiting

I'm going to take time to con.

morning by George A. Davis, to a
question as to where he stood on the
new political issues raised by the re-
suits of the Chicago convention. Davis
has long been an enthusiastic and de-
monstrative Republican, but he is no.
quite certain whether he is a regular
Republican now or not
1t appears that a number of the
local political leaders are in some
doubt as to their standing, and that,

is considerable likelihood of the form
