More forts for Oahu, some to be

and one, at least. to have battery OF
huge lG-inch rilies-the most power
ful and longest ranged gun of all OF
Americas defensive armament-are
said to be included in the rapidly shap-
ing plans for Oahu's further defensive
Notifications.
The plans when carried to their
completion will girdle the island OF
Oahu with forts, and make it, literally,
impregnable. Every three miles there
will be fortress of some kind; every
advantageous head. hill and promon-
tory Will bristle with guns and NOR
tars, so that there will be no possihil-
ity Of hostile feet approaching with
in striking distance of the island with
out encountering a raking fire from q
number of Notifications. Landing par
ties will be out of the question, and
every possible avenue of approach will
be we'll guarded.
Chief among the new forts now defi-
nitely planned is a fortification at Bar
ber's' Point, and there the battery OF
l6-inch guns will be located, to aid
lne 14-inch guns now at De Russy and
the mortars at Diamond Head and kas
mehameha in protecting the ap-
proaches to Honolulu harbor.
Koko Head is designed to accommo-
date q fort with two batteries OF high
power mortars, similar to those now
mounted in the Diamond Head crater.
The north side of the island will
also be adequately protected Plans
now. meeting with approval are for a
rifle battery OF large guns to be lo-
catedsi6 the two notehes near the Palis
called the Kings and Queens Seat
Though the guns viii be in the notches
the barracks and quarters for the op-
Grating company will be, at the south
ern base pf the precipitous slope.
These guns could effectively prevent
the landing of any armed force on the
northern side Of the island, which at
present Is altogether unprotected, save
for the fact that the Ruger mortars
could throw shells over there in case
Of an emergency, and that an infantry
force could for a time hold the Pail
pass with machine guns, though they
would be at the mercy of the guns OF
warships lying of the north shore.
The exact location of the other forts
has not been divulged,
but it is known that the plans con-
template Notifications at intervals not
10 exceed three miles each all around
Oahu.

That the Fl4 will actually he raised
to the surface by the first of next
week, appears more probable thar
ever, as result OF today's work
Four OF the six lifting pontoons have
now been sunk alongside the s,lbma
rine, and the lifting chains made fast
Today's efforts we're successful in
getting two more of the pontoons
down. The third one was sunk and
made fast shortly after 10 o'clock this
morning, and the fourth was in place
by noon.
Good motion pictures of the pom
toons being sunk were taken today by
r. L. Noggle for the Pathe Weekly.
Mr.. Noggle will submit the developed
negative of the entire work to the
navy department, which will censor
those portions which are displeasing
to it and release the rest for projec-
ton throughout the United States.
Two dozen torpedo TASKS, placed
on a navy barge, have been filed with
compressed air, under 120 pounds
pressure each and will furnish the
the force to blow the water from the
six pontoons and give them their rated
lifting power. The flasks will be
taken out probably tomorrow or Sun
day.
