Wiltse, American minister at Honolulu, and captain of the Boston, respectively, during the period discussed, who are described as “two as honorable, efficient, conscientious and__ patriotic Americans as ever represented their country at home or abroad.” The book handics Blount, Spreckles, Lil- juokalani, Willis and other lead pants in the Hawaiian aifa gloves: so vigorously, in fact, th publishers dectined to issue t book, and Lieut. Young has b pelled to’ pub- lish it on his own responsibility. In the preface, in giving the reason for publication, the author says that of his own knowledge “much of the evidenc upon which Mr. Blount based his re: was utterly false and unreliable; eMsions were, if an more mi, ing an his evidence * * nd a de wron was done to the diplomatic and na val off rs of the United ¢ who were in Honoluiu at the time c revolution the rank injustice done to Minister Stevens and Capt.

It is a primal, incontrovertible fact. It is second in Importance to no other single point on the earth's surtace. England seized, and with bulldog tenacity has held, Gibraltar for its strategical value alone: but there is no country the route to which lies past Gibraltar which cannot be reached by sev- eral other differe The distinctive feature of Hawa n it fs unique among tt rategical points of the world, is that it Hes at the center of an area so great that commercial and military opera- fens across it are practically impossible, except by using Hawaii as a coal and sur ply Hawaii from th map carcely any battle and ar hips xistence which can operate across the Pacific, by reason of the fact that they carnot carry coal enough, and the problem of coaling at sea has not yet been solved. repeatedly and officially ted out y the naval authorities, not of the United States, but of the world, the transpacific vsuntries and islands, h the exception of Hawaii, are so far nt from t American continent that © ships of such nations can recoal t Hawaii it is practically impossible for them to get to the Pacific~eoast for the purpose of conducting military operations there. The most efficient ships could not get there at all, and those which do carry sufficient coal to cross would have no coal with which to operate, much less to return | “It has been to their base of operations. In other words, it is impossible to maint or military operations at a distance of from 3 «) miles from a base of op- er these conditions it is eie- and logic that there can nse to the Pacific coast of States than to prevent any other foreign country from getting posses- sion or control of Hawaii. The Question of Defense. otwithstanding the certainty of the de- fense which would be afforded to the Pa- cifle coast by excluding a possible enemy from Hawaii. it would not be policy for the Uni ates to attempt this method of defense by self taking possession of Hawaii, unless that possession could be made effective at reasonable expense. Whether this can be done is not a new quest Ameri naval authorities or slate n. “As long ago as 1851 Congr resolution, requested the ss, by formal Navy and War Departments to report upon the conditions requirements of the coast defenses of the United States. By instructions to the Navy Department Admiral Dupont drew up @ report ir reply to this re jon, in which he said. in connection with the de- fense of ifle cuast: “It is impossible to estimate too highly the value and importance of the Sandwich Islands, whether in a commercial or mili- tary point of view. Should circumstances ever place them in our hands, y would Prove the most importsnt acquisition we could make in the whole Pacific ocean—an acquisition mtimately connected with our commercial and na Beas “This opinion ed Stat this. 1 supremacy in those has been fully approved by naval officers from that day That United States control of to Hawaii can be made both effective and eco- nomical is demousirated by a brief examl- nation of the facta. Few Secure Por Although the Hawaiian Islands are eight in number and extend over a dis- tance of about 4) miles, with the excep- ticns of Honolulu and Pearl harbors its Forts are all open rcadsteads, in which ves- Gels are compelled to le at Cistances of ap- Proximately half a mile from shore, obliged &t all times to land and ship all freight in #n all boats, hampered by the restless swell of the ocean and exposed to constant in- terruptions by storms. The pd*t of Hilo cculd be partially protected by buiiding a breakwater several miles long, at an ex- pense of an unestimated number of mil- lions of dollars, but even then it would not be protected from northerly storms. With the exception, therefore, of Honolulu and Pearl harbor, all other points in the isiands may be eliminated from consideration as pessible naval stations. “Pearl harbor and Honolulu harbor are Loth located upon the south side.of the isiant of Oahu, and are only seven miles apart. Any effective military control of the one must necessarily include the con- trol of the other, for they are so close to- gether that heavy artillery located at ther point would be within easy range and hove full control of the other. need be of Both Honol ‘bor are pro- . which need nothing but the placing of guns to hecome impr Three miles cast of Hona- Iuh ng out into the deep water, its about of a mile ater D of sol h an-almost face, elevation Natural Portit the very of Honolulu, with quarters ef a mile of deep water, Hes a second hill of solid rock, with almost Tpendicular face. rising te an elevation of 4K) fect.

These, with the assist- ance of the fortifications already spoken of, and inexpensive fortifications at the mouth of the harbor, would be absolutely prohibitive ef any successful attack upon the station from the sea. The Navy and Wer Depariments have aiready executed most minute surveys of the harbor and its entrance, and caused expert reports to he made thereon. As as 1872 Gen- erals Schofield and Alexander of the United States army reported unequivocally in fa- vor of the military value of this harbor to the United States. The surveys of the Navy Department have been made under the direction of Admirals Irwin, Walker and Mil They disclose that there is a sand across the extreme outer entrance of the hi consisting aimost exclusi ly of si disintesrated coral nd, can be disposed of by a suction dredge at an estimated expense of not to excced $150,000.

This the property of the Hawaiian government and is available at any time for use by the United States government at Pearl harbor if desired. Treaty Rights. “The United States now has, by the treaty, the right to the exclusive use of Pearl harbor, but has as yet taken no step other than making the surveys mentioned, to avail itself of this privilege. A popular view has been that the rights which the United States possesses in Pearl harbor are all that the United States needs in a mil- itary way. This is an erroneous view. In the first pl there are doubts as to the permanency of the title of the United States tu the harbor. ‘The Hawaiian gov- ernment, both the monarchy and the re- public, tains that the United States litle to the harbor is co-terminus with the existing reciprocity treaty, and that if such treaty is terminated’ the American righis to Pearl harbor terminate also. Be that as it may, there is no grant of territory by that treaty, and as a protective meas- ure it would be necessary for the United States to own not ‘only the land on which its naval station is located, but it -should be able (9 control the territory for a suf- distance away therefrom to insure non-oceupation of a hostile power. Is Schofield and Alex- especial stress upon this point. t time, basing their opinion upon the then ellicient range of cannon, reported that the United States © territory for a distance of than four miles in every direc- tion from the harbor. Since then the effi- cient ra f heavy artiliery has greauy increas: Honolulu ties only seven miles from Pearl harbor, weli within range. ‘There certainiy can be no claim advanced that by the reciprocity treaty, which gives the United States the authority to estab- lish a naval station at Pearl harbor, it Was intnded to cede to the United States the jurisdiction over the territory occu- pied by Honolulu, the capital city of th country, and yet without posgession or control ef Honolulu there is no safety in locating a naval station at Pearl harbor. The necessary coroliary of this situation is that in order (o make use of Pearl har- bor the control of Honolulu must also be eequired. A Definite Alternative. “It is not within the bounds of considera tion that the people of Hawaii would con sent to segregate the city of Honolulu from the country and transfer it to the United States. The proposition which the United States must then face ts to take the islands as a whole, or Peari harbor is of no value te it. In other words, the question is re- duced down to the single issue of annexing the group as a whole or letting it go as a Whole. Another matter of vital import- ance, in arriving at a decision of this issue, is the certainty that it will be almost im- sible to eject any strong marjtime pow- ich once intrenches itself in Honolulu d Pearl harbor. “On the other hand, if the United States first occupies this stronghold of the western world, it will give it the dominant power ver the entire North Pacific, both from a naval and a commercial standpoint, and af- fcrd a military protection to its Pacific ecast and a control over the transpacifie commerce which can be attained in no other way. “If any of the leading maritime nations obtain that control, they can be evicted therefrom only by such expenditure of blood and treasure as will make the effort ere of the great naval and military feats of history; and, until such eviction, it will be the one focus in the northern’ Pacific from which hostile military expeditions can be fitted out against our coast and com- merce, now greater in the Pacific than in any other ocean, can be swept from off the face of the sea.” ee eres Muster in of 125,000. With the exception of one regiment in Icwa and some troops in Kentucky, the mustering under the first call of the Presi- dent for 125,000 is completed. Nearly all of the troops have been ordered to report to one or another of the permanent camps, and the last few thousand are now on their way to their destinations. Col. J. C.

AND O. AFFAIRS Ses Prospect of Defaults on Due and Over due Interes' | PLAN ADOPTED FOR RECRGARIZATION Schedule of the Outstanding Obli- gations of the Company. TOTAL OF $145,000,000 ee es Suit for the foreclosure of the bonds of the Chicago division of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad was instituted at Chicago yesterday by Mr. Charles H. Coster of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. of NewYork and Mr. James Sloan, jr., of Baltimore, the latter representing, it is believed, the Bal- timore reorganization committee of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. This action is in pursuance of permis- sion granted to Messrs. J. P. Morgan & Co, by the United States court at Balti- more several months ago, shortly after Receiver Cowen and Murray were appoint- ed to take charge of and operate the rail- road company. It 1s believed in well-in- formed circles that the action of Messrs. Coster and Sloan yesterday is the fore- runner of other proceedings on the part of Messrs. Morgan & Co., which will eventuate in the sale by foreclosure of the great property and its passing to the manage- ment of Morgan & Co., to be added to the list of the many lines xlready controlled by that house. The suit is based on the claim that the plaintiffs hold all the bonds issued when the road was build, in 1877, and that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, which is named as a codefendant, refused to pay the interest due in ember last. The Chicago division ‘s 278 miles long and extends from Chicago Junction to Chicago, and it Is the only way by which the Balti- more and Ohio trains from the east reach Chicago, except through what privileges have recently been gained by the receivers through traffic arrangements with the Cin- cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and the Monon route, both running north out of Cincinnati. : A Baltimore and Ohio official said that even if the outcome of the suit was in favor of Morgan & Co., they could not operate it, because the Chicago division does not own any rolling stock, but in other quar- ters this view is looked upon as erroneous, as it will hardly be denied that there are many equipment concerns in the United States whose owners would be glad to fur- nish J. Pierpont Morgan or his representa- tives with everything in that line that they might wish. Fear of Further Defaults. Though carrying, according to well-in- formed authorities, twice as much traffic last month as at any period in its history, officials of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company assert that it did not make money, and it is feared there will be fur- ther defaults made in the near future on due and overdue interest. It is stated by persons who have hereto: fore heen regarded as possessing positive knowledge of what is going on in inside cireles of the Baltimore and Ohio—in fact, it is semi-offictally announced—that a plan for the reorganization of the company has been agreed upon by a committee having the matter in charge, and approved by parties in interest. It is also stated that the scheme has been underwritten by a syndicate of bankers, and that the plan will be announced at an opportune time, which will be when reasonable assurance is given that there will be no complications affecting the money market to be expected from the war with Spain. Continuing, The Star reporter's informant said: “This does not mean, as I understand, that the announcement of the plan will be withheld until peace has been secured, but that it may be brought out when any decid- ed victory may be obtained and there shall be no probability of further foreign com- plications. No one outside of those having the plan in charge knows what is the exact nature of the proposal, but it is now admit- ted that a foreclosure of the property and @ new deal all around is absolutely neces~ sa his will necessitate a foreclosure of all the divisional mortgages. Without pre- tending to have any knowledge of the plan of reorganization, we anticipate that it wiil follow the usual custom of scaling the in- terest on the prior-lien bonds and both in- terest and principal on bonds which are secured by properties which are not self- supporting. Virst Preferred Stockholders. “It will be interesting to know what the reorganization plan will offer the present first preferred stockholders. The case of ihe first preferred stockholders is now pending in the Supreme Court of the United States. The question is, whether this stock is a lien prior to the mortgages. ‘Another important matter for considera- tion with those who hold Central Ohio stock, which is operated and controlled by the Baltimore and Ohio, is how this road will be treated in the Baltimore and Ohio reorganization. “Tho Belt railroad bonds likewise present a@ question of great importance. I have al- ways claimed that probably the worst which could happen to those bonds was a reduction of the interest to 4 per cent, and it is to be presumed that something will be given for the past due coupons. +t not, of course, certain that the plan as at first presented will be accepted. ‘There are many conflicting interests to be considered, but by mutual concessions an agreement must be ultimately reached. The sooner the better. Table of Securities. “The following table will show the securi- ties to be dealt with when the reorganiza- tion is perfected: “Loan of 1853 estimated at 4per cent and maturing at will, $359,000; fixed charges, $l4,410.
