The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1895-05-11
May H. 1898.

Japan was to have answered
the ultimatum of Russia, Ger
many and France by MAY 7. The |
European powers and the Little |
Brown people may now be on
the very best of terms or the
triple alliance may be moving on
Japan like a dragon, Russia IN
the lead. The protesting nations
object to the acquisition OF terri
tory in China by Japan. The
situation is odd and interesting
in many views. The combined
navles of Russia, France ana
Germany make a strength at
least five times greater than
Iapans power at sea. The latter
country can possibly muster an
army of half million. Russia
has available in Europe alone tor
military duty 22,OoO,OCO men,
with its hordcs of subjects in
Tartary and Asia to draw upon.
| Russia is a terrible fighter. Eng.
| land was going to wind up the
Crimcan affair in a few winter
months. She was two years at
it. being half of that time before
Sebastopol. Japan is glorious at
battle, but will enter such a con-
| llict as is in prospect with dis
couraging odds against her.
| After the Paris demonstrations
against Germany few months
ago it is surprising to see the
two in a combine. Nations are
but big families alter all. They
say that those great good friends,
Great Britain and the United
States are going to take a hand
in this affair. England is the
friend in a way of China and
from policy the opponent Ct all
other European nations. rhe
United States and Great Britain
are friends because they like
each other pretty well and each
has a pretty high opinion of the
Cleverness of the other. II trou.
BILE ensues, as outlined above
Hawaii will be the greatest stor'
age and trading point on earth
t and everybody will have money
to burn a wet dog" as Chimmie
Fadden saws. And all this tall

and preparation to fight anc
, instinct to bully and cheat ant
, grab after 1000 years OF trium
plant Christianity. Truly, ma
y is a slow student.
