The prospect of eighteen or twenty big United States battleships visiting Honolulu during the Pacific cruise within a year does not find tho local United States Naval Station unprepar ed. Tho first thing wanted by the fleet on arrival would be coal and thero aro at present sixteen thousand tons of coal In the Hawaiian Naval Station reserve, most of whicn fuel Is under the big sheds at the station. It the drays and men and wharves and barges were available the eighteen first-class battleships could be coaled here between breakfast and dinner time. According to present facilities, how ever, about two thousand tons of coal per days would bo about the limit of coaling. Each vessel would require about 800 toils of fuel. Eight hundred . tons of coal were put aboard tho British cruiser Monmouth on July 2 be tween 1 o'clock and 11 o'clock p. m. When the American Asiatic fleet was here tho Wisconsin and tho Kentucky were each given 1,205 tons between 7 a. m. and 4 p. m. and the Oregon, tho "Bull Dog of the Navy" was given 1, 400 tons in 12 hours, fast coaling. With eighteen battleships here, four iwould probably dock at the naval wharves, ono across the end ot No. 1, and four would take positions In the stream, ten lying off port. As soon as the four at tho wharves were coaled thoy would move outside the harbor and the four In tho stream would come to tho docks while their places in the strccm would be taken by an equal number from tho balance of tho fleet tyitside tho harbor. In this way the ontiro nect would bo coaiea, on an aver age of 800 tons per vessel, in a week, or in three and a half days, working day and night. Eighteen vessels taking on an aver- ago of S00 tons of coal each would take 14,400 tons, nearly as much as thero is now on hand. It is probable that three cargoes of 5,000 tons each in addition to regular contracts, will arrive here before tho fleet so that the coal taken by tho fleet will not lcavo the Naval Station short. Battleships from the Atlantic would travel to tho Pacific with colliers ahead A MATTER OF HEALTH POWDER Absolutely Pare HAS NO SUBSTITUTE A Crram of Tartar Powder, froo from alum or phoa phatlo acid ROYAL BaKiNQ POWOEH 0., NEW VOBK in No. 4767. ky Oyer Two Days JAPANESE NO DIFFICULTY AS TO LANDING AT VANCOUVER ANTICIPATED SAILING NOT SET. The day of the departure of the S. S. Kumerlc for Vancouver is still un determined, but Charles tflillllngworth believes that It will bo sometime next week. About 1200 Japanese will be taken. Chllllngworth states that there will be no difficulty In regard to tho admis sion of tho Japs at Vancouver as far as their being possessed of $25 per capita Is concerned. Somo of them aro going up with ns much as $000. It is believed that the examination by a doctor ot each prospective emi grant before leaving here will bo sat isfactory to the VancdTiver authorities. Chllllngworth says that ho expects to have the Kumerlc leave on .Monday. "Wo shall begin putting them aboard at one o'clock today," he said this morning, "and hope to bo ready to clear the steamer when the custom house opens on Monday. "Tho press cable from Vancouver, stilting that the government would en force Its law requiring each immigrant to be able to show $25 before landing, Is nothing new to us. Wo have known about It all along, and the Japanese aro prepared." This afternoon Chllllngworth receiv ed a cablegram from Vancouver to the effect that a prlvato medical examina tion of the emigrating Japanese would be satisfactory to Vancouver. ' The Kumerlc now expects to sail Wednesday morning next. ! and behind and would coal at sea. At Coronel the fleet would coal again and the colliers would fill up. In the ovent ot there being any need ot hurry In dealing hero prlvato wharves would bo used and, In any ovent ah tho fleet would not necessarily have to dock to take on coal.
