HUNDRED THOUSAND
FOR FORT KAMEHAMEHA.

To fill the lagoons and marshes sur
rounding the big l2-inch gun batteries
and mortar emplacements at Fort
hamehameha, the war department will
be compelled to expend about 100000.
The money is not available but the
item has been submitted in report of
the secretary of war to congress. Dis
cussion and final decision of the cues.
tlon as to whether these lagoons should
be hlled mt the cost mentioned before
the construction of the buildings of the
post is undertaken delayed the sub
mission of this estimate of 100000
beyond the time when the regular an
nual estimates for 1914 were required
to be submitted.
Just how the lagOons are TO be filled
is not stated here, but il is expected
that the contractor will have an op-
portunity to undertake this work by
dredglng out certain portions of the
channel ana pumping the material
through pipe line to the military
reservation.
Preparing Kamehameha.
Major Timberlake, commanding the
ARTILLERY District of Oahu, has sent
twelve Coast Artillery privates from
Fort Kruger to Fort Kamehameha to
help the small detachment on duty
clear off the underbrush for the camps
OF the two companies to be stationed
there next week. One company is TO
be eamped out in front of the 12.inch
battery and the other by the Hawaiian
Dredging Company Is dock, close to tho
mortar battery. The men will mount
the mortars when they arrive.

an ultimatum to Bulgaria today, de-

the Bulgarian boundaries.
Bulgaria Astounded.
Bulgaria, says the Sofia despatch, is
astounded at the ultimatum and the
demand of cession of part of her
territory, which includes several i'm
portant towns and some Bulgarian forti-
fcations.
In view of the abandonment of Servia
of her claim for port on the Adriatic,
to prevent Austrian intervention in
the Balkan war, the Roumanian de-
mand, behind which Vienna is pre-
sumed to be, comes with a most dis
quieting effect. 1t is feared that fur
Their demands would follow if Bulgaria
surrendered to this one, and it is eX-
pected that the ultimatum from Blu
charest will be ignored, even at the cost
of war.
The situation, which had been
thought well under way towards
peaceable settlement of all differences,
has been tremendously complicated by
the Roumanian-A Austrian move and it
will require careful handling by the
diplomats of the Powers to prevent
recurrence of the fear of a general
European war.

General Wood in a public address the

"Mongolians" is absurd; this is shown
by their history, language, ethnology,
physiology, religion, culture, taste and
habits; that physically the Chinese
and Japanese are at many points as
tonishingly unlike. In texture and at
titude Of mind they are antipodal. He
asserts that the Japanese are at base

Speaking of Perry's landing in Japan
in 1854 Dr. Griffis says that the Amer

So he took care of the Great River
