early in the afternoon the mine was

The survivors said many of the

Hawaii Naval Bhattoft to -s Crnafttot
la Paelfle Oeaaa. : -
Washington, Not, IS. The president
haa approved the recommendation of
the joint army and navy board for
making Pearl harbor, in the 'Hawaiian
Islands, the greatest naval station in
the Pacific In doing this, It waa eoa-
aidered that ft temporary naval station
only would be constructed at Olongapo,
and that the proposed improvement in
Manila harbor would be abandoned.
Tbie'will leave the protection of the
ports to the army.
The determination to minimise the
fortification in the Philippines and to
make Pearl harbor ft groat naval sta
tion was aot because of any intention
of withdrawing American control from
the island. It waa purely strategical,
it was said. For years Scree contra
veray has been waged as to whether
the principal fortification tn the Phil-
ippinea should bo located at uiongapo
or t'avite. The naval officers favored
Olongapo and the amy Manila bay.
The bis floating- dock is now at Olon

certificate, sines declared iavalid by
ths attoraey geaeral, are to be paid ia

decision of the controller of the treas

attorney general that the issuftass of
certificates wss illegal, but who fur
ther hold that, inasmuch as actual -work
waa performed in the intcrcet of
the government, it must be paid for. .
He directs that thia indebtedaeae be

ion Is interpreted; it does aot authorise
the redemption of outstanding certifi
cates but merely directs the payment
of thoee settlers who performed eon
atroetioa work.
This, in effect, means that the cer
tificates held by settlers who did ths
work will be accepted by the govern
ment as aa indication of the amount
