Press Cable to the Star.

PORTLAND, Oregon, May 25. George W. Allen, formerly of Honolulu, was sentenced here today to serve two years and a 'half in the Oregon penitentiary for forgery. Allen was arrested several months ago. The authorities had very Strong evidence against liim and conviction was expected.

The charge fis said by the authorities to be only one of a number of similar charges that could be brought against Allen. News of tlie death of his foster father, S. C. Allen, at Honolulu, was received last week. The relatives of young Allen did not come to his assistance, so far as the authorities have learned.

In the will of the late S. C. Allen, George Allen is cut off with '1 sum of $1. It is claimed that there arc certain clauses in the document tHat render the will susceptible of attack. It is possible that young Allen may return to Honolulu after his release from prison, and contest his foster father's will.

The sentencing of voung Allen to the penitentiary will probably set at rest for some years to come, the minds of those who might be financially affected, should be succeeded in breaking the will. It is understood, however, that wlien young Allen left Honolulu over a year ago, he surrendered all claim to the estate of hi foster parents. WANT CLAIMS COURT IN SESSION AGAIN THE HOUSE APPROVES ONE FIRE CLAIM AND KUPI-HEA TRIES TO GET IN A LOT OF OTHERS, IN THE UN PAID BILLS ACT SECRETARY RODGERS ON TEACH ER'S PAY. Associated Press Cable to the Star. MANILA, P.

I May 25. The Cable S. S. Anglia landed the cable At Malatc, north of tins city today, The landing of the cable was successfully accomplished, and was witnessed by a great throng of people. Representatives of the laft government, the army, navy and commer cial and social organizations, as weKlas thousands of people attended the celebration.

The Anglia is to lay the section of cable between Manila and Guam and from Midway to Honolulu. It is expected that she will arrive Midway June 18, -and Honolulu July 3. The Chinatown' fire claims occupied most of the time in the House this morning and after Kupihca had introduced a resolution to appro p-iate about $1,600 to pay seven new claims, a proposal was made to have the claims commission sit again. Kupihea's proposition was to simply award the money to the seven claimants, but Beckley ruled the resolution out of order. Kupihea's next was a joint resolution to have the fire claims commission appointed under the act of 1901 sit again and take up the claims.

The fire claims court has never adjourned sine die, but tlie stat-ute of last vear provided that it should not receive any more claims af ter four months after the act passed. Kupihea's resolution was indef initely postponed. Paele, Aylett, Haia and Lewis presented a majority report favoring the claim of Mrs. J. Amana for $1,300, cutting it to $750, however.

Her claim was sent to the commission in time but was mislaid in the postoffice. The report was adopted. A communication was received from H. Hackfeld Company, stat imr that there appeared to be a misunderstanding about the wharf ap propriation and inviting members to come and examine the books of the firm and find out about it. A letter was received from Secretary Rodgers of the Board of Edit cation, supplying the House with a list of teachers to whom back pa; is due.

amounting to $1,163.50. "This money is honestly due," saic Rodgers in his letter of transmission. "There is no reason whether in law or in morals whv it should not be paid. It only awaits the favorable action of the legislature. The House has acknowledged the justice of the claims by appropriating the money to pay one of them, that of Mr.

E. De Harme, which only makes the injustice done the others the more conspicuous. All these claims, nearly forty in number, stand on precisely the same ground; there is not the shadow of difference in their origin or nature. All should be paid or none, and if they are not paid a manifest injustice will have been done. The matter was tabled for future consideration.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 25. Thousands of Russian soldiers un der the guise of being workmen are being sent to the timber concessions in Korea. Diplomatic circles have been considerably stirred up over the re ceipt of this information. That the allegdd workmen are simply soldiers of the Russian Government is regarded as unquestionable by the diplomats.

The impression that is gaining ground here is that the govern ment is using the timbdr concessions as a blind to pour troops into Korea and entrench herself 111 that country to be in readiness for attack from without. FIRST MOT OF II WILL MAKE MIDWAY A NAVAL A NAVY DEPARTMENT CONSIDERING ADVISABILITY OF DREDGING HARBOR AND BUILDING WHARF AT MIDWAYPLACE MAY EVEN BE FORTIFIED COMMANDER POND WILL INQUIRE INTO THESE FEATURES. HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS FIND THEMSELVES IN FUNDS AGAIN EMERGENCY BILL APPROPRIATIONS AVAILABLE FOR USE TODAY FIRST MONEY LEGISLATURE HAS TURNED LOOSE EXCEPT FOR THEMSELVES. The heads of departments went to their offices this morning to find themselves in funds again after a period of shortage and Superintendent Cooper, who gets the largest part of the emergency bill appropriations, prepared to go ahead with as many contracts for jutblic improvements as he can handle at once. The appropriations lapse on Tunc 30 and Cooper must work quickly in order to use them all.

I going to spend it as quickly as possible, said Superintendent Cooper this morning, when asked what he proposed to do with all the money appropriated for his department. "Work on the Nuuanu bridge will be begun without any delay and other matters will be hastened. I he harbor dredging proposition depends to a large extent on what ij done in the loan bill, now before the legislature." The money was available this morning, Governor Dole having sign ed the bill on Saturday. It was the first money which the present legislature has succeeded in putting into circulation except moncv for its own expenses and for Chinese holders of "Chinese fund" deposit books. VENTURA ARRIVES AT SAN FRANCISCO.

The selection of Midway as a cable landing site, has brought to the-minds of the Navy Department the adsivability of fortifying that isiamt and establishing a naval base at the atoll. That a naval base will be established seems likely. The question of fortifying the island has not yet been decided upon, but there seems every indication that the naval base will be established. In fact the orders that Commander Pond has received indicate that the Navy Department had such a project in mind in sending him to Midway. In addition to selecting the site for the landing of the cable at Midway, he to select sites for wharves, government buildings and lighthouses, and other possible improvements.

The details of these orders Commander Pond docs not care to divulge, on account of their being official communications. Private advices from Washington, 'however state that the department is considering the advisability of establishing the naval base on Midway. f. -The establishment of a base docs not necessarily involve the actual fortification of Midway. The question of fortifying a cable station is as yet an open one.

Some authorities claim that a station should be fortified and protected in every possible way. A coaling station will no doubt be established. In addition to the erection of coaling inner harbor inside of the coral reef will probably be dredged to a sufficient depth to accommodate large vessel and in addition, wharves where the vessels may lie, may also be built. These two important points will be determined, however, by Commander Pond's report. It is necessary to ascertain whether there is sufficient protection inside of the reef for big vessels to lie at anchor.

There is. generally a heavy westerly and north-westerly swell running across the Pacific all of the time, and, with strong winds, the harbor might not. prove a very safe place for vessels to lie. Should it be determined that tjie harbor is free from this swell, and the bar be safd enough for vessels to cross, the construction of the wharf would naturally follow. In addition to this feature of the expedition, of dredging out the harbor and the bar will also have to be taken into consideration.

It may be necessary to build a breakwater to protect the entrance 1. 1 All -f iu 1111: jjarv ui inese punus are receiving eunsiaerauie attention ai the hands of officials 'of the Navy Department. Mufway would be an excellent site for a naval base. Captain Pond will select the site for the lighthouse on Midway-. This site will probably be on the highest point of Sand Island, tlie larger and western of the group.

The. lighthouse uill be about 100 feet in height. There will be a first order light that can be seen for a radius of 25 miles of the place. The cable landing will vrobably be on Sand Island. Tlie question of fortifying Midway is "in the air." No definite plans-have been suggested regarding this part of the improvement of Midway; but that a naval base will be established seems certain.

Barracks will probably be constructed by the Navy Department for its men on tlie island. 1 Associated Press Cable to the Star. SAN FRANCISCO, Mav 25. The S. S.
