The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-06-07

| the impression tnat there was an IN =
tentiOn to carry the cable past Hawaii
| without touching here.
L have no right, nor have / any in
tentiOn to touch upon the points which
might seem to have political or an
| international character. 1 can only
assure the convention that Hawaii Is
| unanimously anxious to have this
| cable communication, and that she
| will be found prepared to negotiate in
| that frank and friendly spirit which l
| endeavOred to indicate in my opening
| statement.
Leaving aside the questions of how
| to deal with the imperial control, or
| at least with the neutrality of the
cable, should feel it unnecessary to
| dwell upon the immense commercial
| value of q central telegraph office in
| the Pacific Ocean-if had not found
| by years of experience the difficulty
of making people understand that
there was any Pacific Ocean-except
in books about the habits and homes
| OF coral insects.
In 1898, 1000 passengers arrived in
| Hawaii 1000 left Hawaii 5000 arrived
in transit; making 1900 in all, ex-
| Guiding what are called emigrants.
In the same time Is ships of war
| and so merchant vessels arrived in
| Honolulu. Not one of those 1900
| passengers, nor of the captains and
| officers of those 800 ships, spent q
| single dollar on a cable message
| simply because there was no cable.
/ venture to assert that the revenue
to be derived from the landing of a
cable at Honolulu will greatly sur
prise those who estimate that revenue
| merely by the population, or the area
of that country. Hawaiians know
that the fact of Honolulu being cable
center will bring very considerable
traffic to their port. They estimate
that many more ships will come there
for orders, and for charter when their
owners know that they can be in tele-
graphic communication with them
selves. Many ships now go to San
Francisco for orders which will assur-
edly, in future, come to q port which
is nearer the center, and where their
crews cannot desert, and where the
expenses are very much less.
The cable means very much for
Hawaiian commerce; but it means
much also for the owners of the cable.
/ doubt whether any port in Austral-
asia will contribute more towards
their revenue than the same port of
Honolulu.
Even now steamers call there regu-
larly from China, Japan, Vancouver,
ut NC IonI~ 80, ~ &c t,n,, o-a,1t1..-oo,'
40 or I,oI, uonId not he boraN-to on
immense daveIonment of that traffic.
It is impossible to believe that
Honolulu will be left long without a
cable, and the first cable to land there
will have all the revenue to which
have referred.
