Surveys ax being made by tht collier Nero under the command of lieutenant Commader Hodge. Because of tht complete soundings taken In former rear between San (Tancisco ana Hawaii there Is no ne cessity for further work there Lieutenant Commander Hodgva I conOned himself to tb waters west of Hawaii Reports received by Rear-Admiral R. B. farad ford, chief of the bureau of equipment, show that tb Nero Drat proceeded directly to the Midway isl ands, sounding on the way And then aig-sagged Across the line to determine tre best polnu to locate the proposed cable. From Midway Island the Nero went to Guam And later went to Toko- hama, where she Is now preparing for tht return voyage. Bhe will sig-aag across the Imaginary line drawn dur ing the voyage from Guam to Yokoha ma, make further soundings from Guam to the Midway islands and again to Honolulu. No adverse reports hav been re ceived concerning the route from Guam to Manila, and from Guam to Yokohama and the authorities are con fident that no obstacle exist that can prevent the laying of a cable from San Francisco to Manila, touching everywhere on American toil. The I' lea of running a branch Une from Guam to Yokohama arises from the wish of the administration to make the cable a commercial success. Al though It l desired primarily for gov ernment use. Tb praidnt appreciates that congress may decide It Impolite to have the cable constructed and maintained at the expense of the .Uni ted 8tates, and .should a private com pany be allowed to take up the en terprise the Yokohama lint would bt An Important consideratloa. Tne work of laying a cable among the Philippine Islands has been delayed by the mishap to the cable, ship Hooker.

Most of the Chinos born In the Islands have forsworn their allegiance to the emperor of China. They wear no oupue. and after living their lire here they have no desire that after. death their bodies should rest In the soil of the Flowery Kingdom. Chinos have Intermarried largely with the Tajtalos and Mestizos, and a a class the Chinese Mestizo have seem Ingly mor than held their own.
