CAPTURE of New Orleans.
The story of the taking Of New Or

is written. 1t was the heaviest blow
vet received by the confederacy, AT
least barring the defeat at Shiloh, and
led soon to the practical abandonment
of the Mississippi valley as a base or
supplies for the Davis government.
The running of the formidable forts
below the city by the Federal gun
boats will make the name OF Farragut
famous for all time. 1t was this gal
liant and daring action that doomed
New Orleans. To prevent such catas-
tronhe a chain had been stretched
across the river between Forts Jackson

The Arrival of Butler.

In the meantime the lard forces I'M
Ter General Butler worked their way
through the bayous around to the rear
OF Fort Jackson, ready to make an at
tack. On hearing that the American
nag raised on the New Orleans custom
house by Farragut's men had been
torn down by the natives and trailed
through the streets Butler turned his
attention to the city. in which he ar
rived early in May.
General Buffers rather stormy occu-
patton of the southern metropolis has
long been subject of controversy. the
passions of both sides being so india M
ed that clashes and MISUNDERSTANDING

distance, some actions on both sides
might have been omitted. To Buffers
credit 1t can be said that he introduced
system Of sanitation into New Or

from local contractors. The project
will include. besides the milling equip

refrigerating and electric light plants,

The mil will be fed by dozen
plantations. totalling an area of 1850
hectares. The construction of about
twenty miles of railroad is required
fol carrying the cane from the plan
tations to the mill. Most of the rail-
road lines have already been surveyed
and mapped out. The mill site is close
to the beach, and a dock, 1900 feet in
length, will be constructed nea"' In ;

At Which Honolulu Will Be
Represented by William
G. Cooke

Following in part is an article from
Dun's International Review for Au-
gust, relative to the great commercial
congress in Boston, at which the Ho-
nolulu Chamber of Commerce will be
represented by William G. Cooke,
manager of the New York branch of
Alexander & Baldwin, Ltd:
The Fifth International Congress of
Chambers of Commerce, which will
be held in Boston, Mass, U. S. A.,
September "A to % next, will be one
of the most notable meetings ever
held of these commercial bodies. This
is the first time that the congress has
met on American soil, all previous
congresses haVing been held in Eu-
rope.
There have been four of these BIZ
ennial congresses-the first at Liege,
Belgium; the second at Milan, Italy;
the third in Prague, Austria, and the
fourth in London, England. The key
note of these gatherings has been that
the business men of the nations, weld
ed together. should impress upon the
world the dignity and the power of
commerce and the determination of
business men that trade, national and
international, be elevated the. world

has been selected for the big sugar

San Carlos Milling Company, Ltd, a
concern whose headquarters are in
Honolulu, Hawaii, and which is back,

completed and ready for operation not
later than January 1, 1914, and 1t is
hoped to have it finiehed even before
that date It's total cost vii exceed

capacity of 1000 tons of cane per

This information was obtained By a
Bulletin reporter in an interview last
night, at the Manila Hotel, with p. r.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 16.-Ad-
miEal R. NJ. Stanford, chief of the
bureau of docks and yards, U. S. ~,
returned yesterday on the Oceanic
liner Sonoma from an inspection OF
the 100000 Pearl Harbor drydocks
now under construction in the Hawai-
ian islands. The occasion of Admiral
Stanford's inspection was the engin-
eering obstacle of loose bed founda'
tons for the drydocks, an obstacle
which has delayed the laying of foun-
dations for more than a year.
Civil Engineer E. R. Gayler, U. S.
n, who has charge of the construc-
ticn, met witt difficulty in placing the
foundations of the drydock. 1t was
found that the bottom strata was
loose and no base could be found for
the foundations. Nine thousand piles
were driven to afford base, and then
it was discovered that it would be
necessary to place the concrete under
80 feet of water.
Valuable Material Lost.
After placing the concrete it was
discovered that the concrete washed
and disintegrated, and thousands OF
dollars worth of material was lost.
Reports to the bureau at Washington
attracted Admiral Stanford, CHIEF of
the bureau, to investigate and he went
t. Honolulu early last month.
we determined satisfactorily the
cause of the trouble" said Admiral
Stanford yesterday. and we have
come to conclusions as to mol t1ca-
tions which will obviate ali trouble.
We have devised a method TO over

put into operation. We fear Of no

have been satisfactory.

important European and South Amer

to attend the congress in the interests
of increasing American trade: copies
