PEARL HARBOUR WORKS.

iwo DRY DOCKS,

Last week we printed a wire stating that the figures of the estimated cost of finishing the constructive work at Pearl Harbour, Honolulu, | áre placed at $15.00 y oo, and that the work is progressing but will not be finished for several years. From the Honolulu Independent we gather that Captain White, had made the fol lowing statement in regard to the improve ments as recommended by im in his report to Washington: "Judging from the past I consider it quite likely that the Secretary of the Navy will appoint a board at Washington to draw up general plans for the work to 1e done. I have sent on my estimates of what in my opinion should be done. These suggestions will be submitted to the board, who in turn will sub- mit their report to Congres, and it will rest with that body as to what action will be taken. towards beginning the work here. Heretofore the department would take no action in the matter as

The Government troops were first inveigled into an ambush and then surrounded on all sides, being caught like sats in a trap When the reinforcements came in sight of the bastlefield and found no one to rescue they retreated as hustily as they could.

SUGAR CONVENTION, BILL.

A wire from London of the 4th ult, says that while the House of Commons was in commitee on the sugar convention bill that day a long discussion arose as to whether the importation of bounty-fed segar, should be prohibited or countervailing duties should be imposed. Many of the Liberal members referred to the Ameri- can imperts, which, although new insignificant, might increase if the price of sugar rose. It was printed out that the prohibition of sugar from the United States would be a violation of the most favoured nation clause and stress was laid by the opposition on the same question as ¦ it might affect Argentine.
