To those closely in touch with

question that the government will

Uncle Sam will do away with the ter.
ritorial form of government and ad.

commission as is done in the Philip
pines.
The present government in Ha-
waii is proving an obstruction to bet.
ter defense. Within 10 years there
will be 10000 soldiers in Hawaii and
a most comprehensive chain of forti-
fication will be completed. Every
time the military wish to get a strip
of land for a road or other purpose
there is much delay. Condemnation
suits mus be brought and hindrances
Of all sorts are met
1T is an open secret among the
military in Hawaii that the change
'of government is being discussed in

will be put into effect within a short
