IN TRANSPORT
MOVEMENTS ARE MADE

Changes have been made in the
schedule of movements of the trans.
ports fitzpatrick and Buford. The Kill
patrick, which arrived at CristObal,
Canal Zone, on March 1, with troops
for duty in the zone, now is en- route to
New York for emil arking coast artil
lery companies destined For the canal
defenses.
The vessel VIII leave New York
April 5, and instead of proceeding to
Charleston, South Carolina, to take on
board the Fifteenth company of co lst
al tillery, will stop for that company at
Pensacola, Florida, thence proceeding
to Galveston, Texas, to get animals of
the Fourth field artillery and thence
proceeding to the Canal Zone. On rec
ommendation of the military authori.
ties in the Canal Zone, pack animals
for the field artillery will be taken to
be used in place Of the usual wagon
transportation for supplies, etc, the
pack animals being considered more
available on account of the character
of the country. After discharging at
Cristobal, the Fitzpatrick will proceed
to Newport News, Virg. MIA, to be
placed in reserve about May Is.
There has been some question as to
whether the transport Buford shCull
be sent to the Philippines with the IA
inch gun turrets destined for EN- lac }
ment on FL Fraile Island at the ell
trance to Manila Bay. One of these
turrets has been loaded on the vessel
at Newport News, and the other will
be loaded at Sandy Hook, New Je sey.
1t has tecome a question whether, if
the government were going to abandon
the Philippines, it was necessary to
proceed with the coast derenses, but it
has been concluded that there is NJ oc
casiOn for the change in the plans for
insular defense. Tn refore, the Buford
win leave New York about March Is,
with expectation of being able to 20

April. If the canal Is not open to nav

JAPANESE DOUBT
j MEXICO'S FUTURE

JaPan's reason for withdrawing its
minister in Mexico City and not ap,
pointing another is its feeling that Car
rama is not strong enough to bring
peace, and that chaos will reign until
someone other than he is placed at the
head of Mexican affairs.
This is the opinion of A. Miura, un
til recently secretary to the Japanese
Legation at Mexico City, who passed
through Honolulu on Monday in the
steamer Tenyo Maru, returning to
Toxic. He has been recalled by the ia.
panese Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Little Faith In Carranza
"The Japanese government has de-
cided not to send another minister to
Mexico until peace has been fully re-
stored, Mir. Miura told a reporter Of
The Advertiser who interviewed him
here. Conditions have reached a
point in that revolution. ridden country
where japan is inclined to have little
faith in Carranza.
