American Of june 26 which reports.
All Hoilo and the sugargrowing re-
giOn of the Southern Islands is work

HONOLULU COMPANY
GETS BIG CONTRACT

pine Corporation

Announcement Of the letting of a
contract TO the Honolulu Iron Works
by the Yanchaustie Company Of the
philippines was made yesterday. IN
connection with the announcement VIII
liam q. Hall, manager Of the company
said that he would leave ON trip
to the Islands either the latter part
Of this month OF the first of next. Z
The mill just ordered from the Ho.
nolulu Iron Works is to cost a million
dollars and is To be practically identical
in type with two other mills which
have been ordered Of the company by
Philippine concerns this year. These
other two plants are located at Taba-
calera and Pampanga. All three will
be thousand ton plants and capable of
doubling capacity by establishing b sec
ond unit when desired. The first de-
parture Of machinery for this third
plant is expected to be about three
months from this time. z" sF,
Plants of the Honolulu Iron Works
are popular in the Philippines and this
new plant will be the eighth to be In
stalled by that company. .,... s5,g
Further details of the plans for this
nitl have arrived from Manila under
date of June "a, the article saying:
Incorporation papers were filed this
morning by Don Antonio Malvehy,
manager of the Compania General de
Tabacos Filipinas, Carlos Fernando,
Perez Samantha, and numerous other
local men, for the Bats Sugar Central,
which Mr.. Malvehy states is already
nearly completed and ready TO begin
operating in the province Of Oriental
Negroes. The corporation is capita
LIKED for 100000 pesos, which has
been divided into 5000 shares Of 500
resos. each OF the 500 shares sold,
the Gompania General de Tabacos de
Filipinas has subscribed for ago, YIN.
chausti and company for SO, and Ra,
fael Perez for AZ.
Yhehausti and company are believed
to be the p rime movers Of the new
central, because they are known to
have large land holdings near the town
of Bats, on which sugar cane is grown
extensively. The central office of the
company will be, in Manila, Mr.. Nal
vehy stated this morning, though he
further stated that no general manager
had as yet been definitely decided, up.
on. ,..-
Mr. Malvehy says that the central
itself is practically completed, and will
certainly be ready for the coming cane
harvest in November. The machinery
has been purchased in Honolulu, and
will be shipped here very shortly. Sew
eeral miles of railway track and the
other necessary equipment for hauling
the cane to the mill, has been ordered
in the United States and will also By
shipped to the Islands before the cant
season arrives. ct,
The incorporators are very optimi
! site in regard to the new central which
! has just been incorporated, and stat'
that with the modern machinery whicl
is coming, they will be able to turf
out very high quality of sugar, in
stead of the muscovado which IL nov
! produced in that region.

ton OF h,' cad lanas until such
lands are rctralh tHkpD ~ is expected
within thr ""vt 20. d"vs practically
an objection, having been removed, it
is reported The chief Of such difilcul-
ties was the roportion Of gross receipts
from such acres as may be cultivated
and harvested under the agreement.
The original proposal was payment
Of ten percent of the gross return for
each such acre and the agreement
reached was for five percent.
Beyond doubt the plantations want
this acreage under normal conditions
and they will live up to the provisions
of cultivating it so far as they are
able but it is a question how fully they
will be able to do 30 with the limited
labor that is available. Thus the gov
eminent will be Infected in revenue ,se-
cured from these lands just as the
plantations will be affected in total

in the success of the new plans both

who feel that the time is unfortunate

Washington, July 20.-SiX Of Cen

with the French in the present often
sive in the Aisne- Marne district. Cen
eral March, chief OF staff, said the
Franco American offensive will con-
Iiinue as long as it is possible to
force the Germans back. General
March told the senators the Germans
had been preparing for an offensive
against the British to the north. to
be simultaneous with the last often
sive against the Franco American
front. For some reason, General
March said. the drive against the Brit.
sh was postponed. That the prob
able explanation given for the British
policy of not attacking the Germans
while the French and Americans are
engaged in their offensive.
The War Department has no ad-
vices that Scissors has fallen, but i!
is known to be under heavy fire from
American artillery and its fall seems
imminent. General March said the
objective of the Franco American at
tack was the SOissOns- Chateau Thier-
,ry railroad. which the Allied command
has reason to believe in the principal
artery OF supply for the enemy in the
Chateau Thierry region and also one
of the principal Avenues of supply for
the sector south of the Marine. The
French and Amemircan forces either
already have possession OF this road
or have il we'll under direct shell fire.
With this railroad in Allied control,
German withdrawal from the sector
south of the Marine would be rendered
difficult. as their main railway line
to the rear would be lost. 1t is indi-
Gated that an attempt Of the Ger.
