STILL URGING HONOLULU FORTS
WASHINGTON, December 11. High
military officials have been appearing
this week beforo tnc Military Affairs
Committee and the Committee on Fort
ifications to urge liberal appropria
tions for fortifications for the insular
possessions and the Pacific Coast. Con-
gressmf.n Kalin has been laboring to
impress on his fellow committeemen
the Importance of adequate precautions
and ho has been gratified at the sup
port received from the military au
thorities. What the Army thinks on
this subject, may be judged from the
statement made by General Murray,
chief of artillery, lh his annual re
porC, .where, among other startling
statements, he said:
"In the Insular possessions the pro
vision of more batteries and the ac
cessories necessary for their service
IS an urgent need. The Importance of
the early completion of the coast de
fenses of certain localities In these
possessions lies In the fact that such
defenses are necessary not only for
tho protection and retention of these
possessions, but also, and of greater
moment, as affecting fundamentally
any scheme of national defense, for af
fording secure naval bases and coaling
stations. Without such fortified bases
the retention of our insular posses
sions, the protection of our commerce
and the ability of our Navy to conduct
offensive operations outside of narrow
zones bordering upon the coasts of the
United States, can' be assured only by
stationing In every possible theater a
fleet superior to the combined fleets
of the enemy, a condition wholly im
possible of attainment."
After outlining the work of this sort
provided for, the General says that
most important is the completion of'
'.
the defenses of Manila bay, Pearl Har
bor and Honolulu, and that "strategical
considerations of tho highest order"
demand their early completion and the
construction of barracks and quarters.
Ho says, further, that "failure to ob
tain the ends at this session of Con
gress will mean that for the next three
years these defenses will be In a state
of almost complete unpreparedness for
war.
"Fortifications in the Philippines
without men aro useless, and there
fore Congress is asked for a ten-com
pany post on Corregidor island, a four
company post on Grand island, and a
four-company post at Honolulu. The
testimony before them has Impressed
the committees with the necessity of
considering seriously these and other
similar recommendations."

RESTRICTIONS ON THE AMOUNT (
OF SUGAR AND TOBACCO TO BE !
IMPORTED. !
WASHINGTON, December 11. Free,
trade with the Philippines was one of
tho most Important matters agreed
upon by President-elect Taft and tho
Republican members of tho Ways and
Means' Committee at tho conference on
tariff revision. While Taft favors free
trade with tho Insular possessions
without any restrictions, It Is under
stood that, In order that there shall bo
no dissension, lie has agreed that the
amount of sugar and tobacco which
should bo allowed free entry should be
restricted.
With that end in view, It Is under
stood that the sugar interests have
agreed to a compromise, by which a
certain amount of sugar will be ad
mitted from the Philippines annually
free of duty and that all sugar over
that amount will pay the present rate
of duty, which Is 25 per cent less than
the duty imposed by the Dlngley tariff
on sugar from other countries.
Large beet sugar manufacturers were
In conference with various membors of
the Ways and Means Committee to
day. What amount will be fixed as a
maximum limit for tho free entry of to
bacco has not yet been determined.
Three wooi growers were heard by
the House Ways and Means Committee
at the tariff hearing today. R. G
Johnson of Blackfoot, Idaho, who had
been on the stand before, returned to
give the committee his figures on the

cost of raising sheep. These figures
showed that the profit on a flock of
sheep In Idaho Is 10 per cent. Solo
mon Luna, a wool grower of New
Mexico, asked tho commlttco to retain
the present tariff on wool, saying that
ho would like to have tho duty In
creased if he thought there was nny
possibility of having It done. H. W.
iKolly, representing tho New Mexico
Wool Growers' Association, claimed
the cost of raising sheep has Increased
and asked to have tho tariff on 'wool
retained.
