REFUSAL OF PEARL HARBOR TO YACHT
OF MILLIONAIRE HAS GOOD PRECEDENT

In every instance the ports closed
are naval bases and IN addition are
points OF strategic Importance in our
line OF defense
Pearl Harbor. Honolulu, SO called
because that is the only place in those
islands where the pearl is found, is on
the south side or Oahu Island and
is the best harbor in the North Pa
cific. IL is here that one OF the larg-
est of the United States naval sta.
tons is situated, which includes three
drydoeks.
Great Harbor, at Culebre. was
chosen in 1902 by naval authority
as the rendezvous of the fleet, and
marine encampments were erected on
shore, since which time a naval sta
ton has been erected. The harbor
was originally known as Playa Sar-
dinas Harbor and was chosen prin-
cipally for the healthfulness of the
island. Culebre Island is the smaller
of two islands in the Virgin Passages,
east of Porto Rico.
Port Apra Is on the middle western
coast OF Guam. The harbor is the
port of transit between the United
States and the Philippines. The COM
mandant of the naval station there is
also naval governor" Of Guam.
The harbor of Guantanamo, Cuba.
the easternmost important town in the
province of Santiago, is land-locked
and has very narrow entrance.
This is an important shipping
point for the surrounding country,
where coffee, sugar, lemons and lines
are grown in large quantities.
At Garden Key
Port Toryugas Is on Garden
Key, the most important key of those
comprising the group known as the
Florida Keys, which extend IL miles
westward of Key West 1t is here
that old Fort Jefferson is situated A
coal depot is established here, in ad,li-
ton to the naval station
Port Subic, near Manila, lies within
Grande Island. which divides it into
two channels. On the eastern shore
lies Port Olongapo, at which is estab-
lished the naval station.
Kiska is an uninha5ited islands, ex
cept for the naval station, in the Aleu-
tian group, which owes its import
ance TO the fact that It lies directls
in the line of travel between this coun-
try and Japan.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Nov. 22.-
When the steam yacht Warrior. with

Dor. Honolulu. several days ago she
was barred on the ground that Pearl

In any event Capt G. r. Clark. Y. >.
NJ commandment Of the naval station
there. was following instructions IN
refusing her entry.
Iient. Byron McCandIess, aide TO
Secretary OF the Navy Daniels, IN COM
menting upon the matter, said:
cit doesn't matter whether the war
rior was American or OF foreign regis
trv No boats have any business n.y.
mo m enter those harbors which are
