NAVAL ACTIVITIES
Cruiser Seeks Repairs.

Honolulu. Oct. t6.-Ali present anx- iety for British and Japanese shipping in these waters has been removed by the announcement that the German gunboat Geier, wlich arrived yester- day from Tsing Tau. will remain here indefinitely, receiving repairs to her engines.
 That the Geier does not intend to intene is indicated by the fact that she continues to coal today
 Commenting on later reports from Honolulu that the Geier would re. main indefinitely in the harbor under giong engine repairs, officials here called attention to the provisions or the Hague convention which limit the repairs of belligerent warships in neutral ports to such as are "abso- lutely necessary to render them sea worthy" Port authorities shall de- termine the amount of repair worN necessary and it must be completed as quickly as possible. The Delliger ent warships must leave port as soon as the authorities pronounce her sea worthy.
 If the Geier intends to make repa.ra a United States naval officer proh- ably will be asked by the officer of the port at Honolulu to examine he engines and say what repairs arc necessary. The ship could remain it. the harbor only 24 hours if not in need of repairs. If her commander is unwilling to leave then. the ship must be interned, which means tha; the breach blocks of her guns would be taken ashore and the vessel ren- dered useless for warlike operations This was done at San Francisco cu}- ing the RussanJapanese war with Russian cruisers which sought refuge there.

German Cruiser Interned.

Washington, Oct. 16.-In reporting the arrival of the German cruiser Geier, the Honolulu station of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Com pany was guilty of fragrant violation of the neutrality of the United States. in the opinion of the lMvy department officials, although that may not have been the purpose of the message. In consequence, the station will be closed within 24 hours if a satisfac. tory explanation is not forthcoming Orders to this effect were sent today to Admiral Moore at Honolulu.
 Officials had not been informed to whom the message, sent in the tenn porary absence of the navy censor They said it did not matter; that any ship could have picked the message from the air, including British and Japanese warships in the vicinity. IL is in direct violation of the spirif ot American neutrality, it was pointed out, for information to be supplied to one beligerent as to the movements of another. Secretary Daniels made this point plain in recently ordering closed the Marconi stations at Sios conset and Seagate on the Atlantic coast.
