No one of course can tell, at this
time, how long the conference will last
hut we'll informed persons in the di-
rect encourage of the mediators agree
that the arguments to be threshed out
and the intricate problems to be dis.
cussed may require one month.
All the delegates who are to take
part in the conference are here. Senior
Eduardo Suarez, the Chilean minister,
arrived late last night, and DR.. Naon,
minister of Argentina, and Senior Da
Cana, ambassador of Brazil, were al
ready here. Justice Lamar and Mr..
Lehman arrived late last night and
General Huerta's three delegates
came in early this morning.
Other Republics Interested.
Another proof of the great interest
which the other republics of the Amer.
lean continent are taking in the media
ton proceedings was found in the ar.
rival here of Senior Gonzales Cordova,
minister of Ecuador, to the United
States. Senior Cordova announced
that he had been instructed by his
government to proceed to the scene
Of the mediation conferences and to
DE prepared to offer his good services
should they be required.
The minister of Ecuador is accom-
panied by his son, Joaquin Cordova,
who is first secretary of the legation
in Washington. '''''~' s'sf
Sir Joseph Pope, Canadian under

James A. Kennedy, president and
general manager of the 1nter-Island
Steam Navigation Company spoke
briefly on the development Of Homo

declaring that Honolulu must be ready

rates and better wharves.

ing. the address said:
The foregoing is a brief review Of
the progress of a great transporta-
ton company from the little schooner
Emma Claudina to the magnificent
fleet of steamers flying the MatSOr

interests of Honolulu placed their
fortnightly arrangements with the Pa

they also placed on him the response

defense of Oahu has come from
Washington. Extensive as have
been the plans previously an
neuneed for protecting the
great naval base at Pearl Har-
Dor, and resisting the invasion
of the island, the scheme of the
Macomb board, as outlined by
Maior-general Wood in a hear

1y known here. The repert of
the Macomb board, composed OF
Brigadier-general NJ. NJ. Ma,
comb, Lieutenant-colonel John
i. Morrison and Major George
Blakely, was regarded here as
strictly confidential, and its
text has been closely guarded at
this end Of the line, but its pro.
Visions have now been discuss
cd in open hearing before CON.
lnittee. a
The peninsula which iuts out
into Pearl Harbor west of
Ford Island is to be cut off
from the mainland by a great
canal, 1000 yards long, $50
yards wide and 6 feet deep. The
tip Of the peninsula will then
form an island, which is to be
strongly fortified, and which
will form the left of the
defensive line. Probably strong
infantry redoubts will be con-
structed, to defend the position
against direct frontal attack,
while batteries on Ford Island
will cover the flanks toward
Pearl City and Waipahn, and
in the direction of Barber's
Point, which latter position
will be thoroughly cleared. The
proposed canal will prevent the
storming of the position by in
fantry, and will make a strong
ly fortified island, which will
cover a former weak point in
the scheme of defense.
Foar additional 12-inch NOR
tars, to be placed inside the
crater of Diamond Head, is
another addition to the defen-
sire plan, to guard the eastern
end of the island. If an enemy
gained Il commanding position
on the mountain above fort
Kruger, it might silepce Battery
Harlow, but artillery fire from
the ridge could not touch NOR
