0W bales of tobacco haI Ix-cn recelv

the departure of G-neral Hates' expe
dition to Southern Luzon to complete
tli" plan of oienlng the hemp ports In
that quart.-r, is accepted by the war
department jllli lals as an indication
that the campaign Is progressing sat
isfactorily, and that our forces have
not met with any serious .opposition
by the inrurgents in the recent move

Secretary Long Says Vessels Can Be
Most Cheaply Constructed jn
Private Yards.
WASHINGTON. Mar. l.-Secrrtary
Long has made a statement to the
house naval committee on the general
needs of the navy and the desirability
of not building new ships In the gov
ernment yards. As to the new ships,
h- h'-ld to his recommendation ut the
time congress met, namely, three arm-oi-d
cruisers of about 13,000 tons each,
with the heaviest armor and the most
powerful ordnance: twelve gunboats of
about 900 tons each, three protected
cruisers of about 8.000 tons each. As
to building warships In our own yard,
Mr. Long said they cost much more
than those built under contract and
took twice as long to build them.
Admiral IVwey suggested to the com
mittee that they leave off the twelve
gunboats and give three new battle
ships instead. He said the battleships
would be more serviceable, as General
Otis had Just purchased fourteen gun
boats and had turned them over to the
navy. They were in a fair condition
and '.he admiral said that from his ex
perience he thought they were Just the
vessels needed for service In the Phil
ippines. THE HONOLULU PLAGUE.
Little Danger of It Spreading to This
Country. Owing to Sanitary
Precautions.
WASHINGTON. Mar. l.-Two reports
bearing on the plague situation In the
Hawaiian Islands have been received
by the marine hospital service from
Dr. Cnrmlehael. the surgeon In charge
at Honolulu. They are dated February
13.
Regarding the appearance of the
plague at Kahulul, on the Island of
Maul, the doctor says three undoubted
and two suspicious cases were reported
to the board of health at Honolulu and
an examination showed them to be the
disease of a malignant character.
Seven cases In all were reported from
January 30 to February 11, all ocurrlng
in the Chinese quarter and traced to a
store where Chinese foodstuffs, Import
ed from the Orient, via Honolulu, were
sold.
The town w as at once surrounded by
a cordon, the Chinese quarter destroyed
by fir?, and the bodies of those dead of
plague burned.
The situation is well In hand and the
disease, th doctor says, may not
spread. Thor- are several large sugar
plantations near Kuhulul and It Is Im
possible to say how much Intercourse is
between thara and the town. Owing to
thv condition of affairs at Honolulu
vessels, from the mainland have been
loading sugar for United States ports
at Kahulul and the following vessels
departed on the late stated:
February I, the Lurllne for Han Fian-ci-o;
tip. Viking from Una for San
Franiise: February 9. the Kdward
May, from Klhel fur San Francisco via
Makaweil; the Kva from Kill") fur San
Francisco via Huau. February II, th
Mary Wlnkeimann from Kahultn for
Han Francis -o.
Haiigua Is about forty nil!, s from
Kabul. il and Klhel twelve mile dis
tant No note relative to the plague
or suspicious cases wax made on the
bill of health by the consular a'-tcnt at
Kahulul and sugar Is loaded by light--rs.
If possible, arrangoments will be
made for -.s shipment outside of the
Infected district.
In Honolulu, the doctor nays, one
c- has be-n recorded since the date
of his hist report, that of a Chinese
child on the 11th Inst., from the south
western part of the city. Hartman, the
whlt man on whom the anti-plague
runi whs used. Is recovering. It has
alw been used with good effect In the
case of Armstrong Smith, a volunteer
nurse, whose Illness was looked upon
as suspicious.
Dr. Carmicha! says the facilities for
disinfection of baggage, at Honolulu,
are Inadequate All the baggage, how
ever, inclmling hand baggage, ha been
sprayed with the forty per cent dilu
tion of formalin-, the contents of
bunks, etc., being sprayed In layer
and then elosed up for at least six
hours.
No pass-i-gers but first cabin passen-g--rs
have shipped from Honolulu since
the plague was announced on D-c-m-b-r
I.'. last, und they are obliged to re-
"irt at the United States consulate
for fifteen days prior to their departure
for any foreign port. Their residence
In the city Is recorded and they are
rej-.ct.-d If from any suspicious locality.
There Is no available place In Honolulu
for a detention hotel, where all intend
ing passengers could be confined for
the time required, and in Its absence
thi plan outlined above was adopted.
Only the local boat between Honolulu
and San Francisco of the Oceanic
steamship c-ompany has taken passen
gers from Honolulu since the plague
was reported with one exception, the
Gaelic from Honolulu to San Francisco
on December 12. after the quarantine
was raised by the Hawaiian authori
ties on December 9.

REPORT ON THE
SUBSIDY DILL
Its Great Advantages to the Am
erican Mercnant Marine.
ENORMOUS YEARLY SAVIKG
Keductioa of $25,000,000 Will Kesult
to Producers in Ocean Freights
Through Additional Ships.
WASHINGTON, March l.-Thi re
port prepared by Senatur Fry upon
the shipping bill reported oy the com
mittee on commerce of the senate wan
made public today.
Th-: report begins by asserting
'"the self evident value of a natlon.-U
merchant marine" explains and de
plores our almost entire dependence
upon foreign shipping for our ocean
carrying. It suggests the danger of
n-linnce upon the merchant ship of
other nations with which we may be
come involved In war, the possible
complete exclusion of American ex
ports fro n their regular foreign mar
ket in such contingency, and points
out that the wholesale transfer of thi
tonnage of juch belligerent nation t
a neutral flag would unquefltlonably
involve such shipping in dinVuItlt'S,
seizures and detention.
Threes prime reasons are given for
the decline of American shipping In
the for.-lgn trade, namely: (1) The
greater cost of building ships In the
United States than elsewhere; (2) The
great Jr cost of operating American
ships compared with foreign ships;
and (3) Causes based on foreign legis
lative encouragement.
The passage of this bill, it is claimed,
would probably effect a reduction of
$25,000,00") a year in the ocean rates
on Amerk-an commerce, through the
additional shipping and competition
that would be created.
