AND
SAN FRANCISCO, August 17.
1'rosideiit Taft yesterday gave orders
lor the most startling war game ever!
attempted by the United States army.
The entire Pacific fleet is Involved.
."Every man of war, from the heaviest
'armored cruiser down to the fleetest,
torpedo boat destroyer, has been or
"Qered to prepare for the severest test
ever applied to tho navy.
The field on which the war game
will bo played is tho 7000 miles of
onenn hlarliwnv between Ran Fran-
clsco and Honolulu. Tho problem to!
l)e solved Is the ability of tho Pacific
'fleet, scattered Along the coast from
T3rcmorton to San Diego to concen
trate at San Prantlsco and then dash
across the ocean to tho nation's out
post In the mid-Pacific Hawaii and
-protect It from an Imaginary attack
from the fleet of a hostile ration.
Gives Navy Surprise.
President Taft took the navy by
-surprise just as he did last Mafch
when, without a word of warning, ho
ordered an army of 25,000 troops mob
ilized on the Mexican frontier.
The men of war of the Pacific fleet
are scattered up and down the coast
from Seattle to San Diego. Some of
the huge armored cruisers are in the
repair yard at Mare Island. Others
are In the navy yards at Bremerton.
Tho torpedo boat flotilla is In Seattle
-waters.
Tho orders issued by President Taft
yesterday include every available
-warship on the Pacific coast.
Every Boat Ordered Out.
The President and the Secretary of
-the Navy, planning to reproduce con
ditions of an actual national emer
gency, ordered every ship In the fleet
armored cruisers, cruisers, gun
boats and torpedo-boat destroyers to
' concentrate first In San Francisco
bay. Here would be the natural base
of the fleet against any foe which
mlgh t- attack American possessions
in the Pacific.
Onco assembled In San Francisco
bay the fleet will make . a dash to
Hawaii, the purposo being to ascer
tain whether an Invading fleet can
make an entrance Into any of tho
bays around the island of Oahu, on
which is situated the capital city of
Honolulu.
Increase Troops Here.

WASHINGTON, August 19. Hono
lulu will be attacked by an Invading
naval force of four armored cruisers';
and eight torpedo boat destroyers
sometime In September. Not only will
the armed- fleet attempt to enter the
bay of Oahu, but similar attempts
will aUo be made at various points
along the Hawaiian coast.
That the attacking force will be
composed entirely of United States
vessels, however, will relieve the In
habitants of the Hawaiian metropolis
from the necessity of taking to the
hills. Four armored cruisers of the
Pacific fleet the Colorado, California,
boripg classes are really worth while
reading if you want amusemont, and
would like to seo the "guff" that the
present mayor is an adept in handing
out.
At ono of his recent meetings Mc
Carthy was reading from a small
piece of paper tho accomplishments
of his administration, In answer to
his own statement "Instead of asking
what McCarthy did, 'better ask what
ho hasn't done that ho promised to
do." McCarthy stated that so many
new schools had beon built during his
administration and a man roso to in
form tho audience that McCarthy op
poged the bills covering this matter,
and tho pooplo passed tho appropria
tion in spite of Afifaarthy. Again Mc
Carthy read from his paper of an
othor foat of tho administration, and
again a man roso to note tho fact that
McCarthy and union labor opposed
tho passing of such a hill with nil tho
powor at tholr command and tho bill
was put throtiHh by tho voto of tho
people.
McCarthy had the man ejected, and

Why couldn't tho governor have ac
cess to the minutes of tho Territorial
Land Commission?
The governor doesn't explain, but ho
did make a statement this morning
that he has been delayed all these
woeks In finding out exactly what the
Land Commission wished In tho Kapna
lease matter, but that no has at last
got hold of tho minutes, and believes
that he has the situation somewhat
better In hand now.
"I disapproved the arrangement
mado between the Land Commission
and Senator Falrchlld," said the gov
emor, "on a point of law, and not be

If the Territorial government does
not stop tho Cornwell Estate from re
moving the nlgaroha wood from the
Waiohuli-Kcokea homestead lots on
Maul, tho "homesteaders may resort
to physical force to stop the spolia
tion on their property."
This Is the threat which reached
tho Territorial land office this morn
Ing as a result of a feud which has
developed between tho Cornwell
Ranch and the. thirty odd "homestead
ers" who recently forced tho opening
of 780 acres of land near Klhel, which
the government desires to be practi
cally hopeless as a place to live, lt
