INDEPENDENCE OF CUBA.
Special Meeting of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 2s.--A special meet
ing OF the Senate committee on foreign
relations was held today for the purpose
of considering the form in which the
Cuban question shall be finally disposed
OF. After a very thorough disc lssion il was
decided TO adhere TO the committees reso-
luton for the recognition of the belliger-
ency, and to amend it by adding Senator
Cameron's substitute requesting the Presi-
dent 70 exercise his friendly offices with
Spain TO secure the independence of Cuba.
The House resolutions were discussed
upon the suggestion that ii would be ad-
visable to accept them as a substitute for
the Senate declaration but the plan was
discarde as inadvisable. TIL committee
also decided to adhere to the present
form OF the resolution, leaving 1t con-
current instead of making it joint. 1t was
arranged that Senator Cameron should
off his resolution as an amendment and
that II should be accepted by Sena or
Sherman on behalf of the committ.e.

Bourke Cockran's advice to his sound
money friends of the Democratic party
seems to be on the plan of selecting
the least of several evils. He believes
that Mckinley should be supported as
against Bryan, and that sound Demo-
cratic congressman should be elected
to oppose the positive McKinleyism of
a Mckinley administration. Since
Bryan represents the silver craze and
Altgeld principles there is after ali
good hard sense in the conclusions of
the New York politician.

After the first buster and blare al
ways following the nominating conven-
lions, the political parties of the United
States are settling down to the hard
bone work of the'campaign. The bolt
ing fever has pretty nearly run it's
course and the lining up of forces is
now well under way. Bryan and his
two running mates, Sewall and Wat
son, are now the center of attraction.
There seems to have been an attempt
to influence Sewall to withdraw, but
the Maine man indicates that he has no
idea of making any such move. The
Georgia candidate Watson is equally
well grounded in his decision to stick
by the ship. The question then arises,
what will Bryan do? He can hardly
accept two nominations and thus go
into the fight standing on two plat
forms. On the other hand he needs
the Populist vote. 1t is becoming more
and more apparent that the boy orator
has some decidedly stubborn political
horses to manage. If he succeeds in
swinging the factions into line, he will
do what older and more experienced
politicians before him have made a
signal failure of.

fuence when the Court came to the
point of passing sentence. But militia
ry law is strict and it's hard and fast
rules must be maintained. Any diver
sion from the law would jeopardize the
discipline of any military body and leave
the members of the court to say moth
ing of the commander-in-chief liable to
the accusation of friendly discrimina-
ton. The integrity of the Republic
must be upheld at all hazards.
Capt. Good was given fair trail by
men in whom he has confidence and in
whom the public have confidence, and
he reaps the just reward of his own
lack of discretion.

for thought to the business men of
Honolulu? The number of similar ad-
yertising pamphlets that Honolulu has
placed before the people of other coun-
tries indicates that it does. In view
of the literature that is being circulated
by hundreds of cities and towns in the
United States and Canada it is almost
appalling to note the apathy of the
Honolulu business community toward
making any move to advertise the
country and attract tourist trade. The
people here rely on the Government
and the steamship companies for adj
vertising the country, but we see no
reason why active business men should
consider this sufficient The Govern
ment will continue it's good work, but
it is a question how long the good ma
ture of the steamship companies will
hold out.

THE PACIFIC

Paul Neumann's mission to Guate-
mala whether backed by the Govern
ment or leading business men is indeed
a timely move. OF course there are
those who take it for granted that
every steamer that crosses the Pacific
is bound to stop at these islands simply
because this is the key to the Pacific.
Not a little dependence can be placed
on our fortunate position, but at the
same time it is a paying proposition
for the country TO keep in touch with
the companies and the countries that
are playing a part in the development
of the steamship traffic with the Orient.
The cities of the Coast are playing
their best cards in order to gain favor
with the promoters of the new Japan
csc lines, and Hawaii must be up and
doing in order that it may also gain
its proportion of the benefit derived
from increased traffic.

CAPTAIN GooD's SENTENCE.

The sentence passed upon Captain
John Good by the recent Court Martial
is by no means a surprise to those who
have followed the case closely. The
findings of the Court regarding the
sight from the Austrian field piece
would seem to indicate that very little
credence was given Mr.. Rhodes story
of taking the sight, and considerable
weight was placed upon Capt. Good S
loss of memory as to what was done
with the sight placed upon his desk.
Although in the eyes of Capt. Goods
friends the sentence may seem some
what severe, it was in reality the only
thing for the Court to do after an I'M
biased review of the testimony placed
at their disposal. Capt. Good stands
before the public today not as a Grim
inal, but as one who has allowed his
apparent dislike for a superior officer
to get the better of his better judg-
ment. AS a military officer he was
bound to heed the commands of his
superior. 1t made no difference what
personal opinions he might have con-
corning his superior officer, SO long as
he wore the uniform of the National
Guard and was amenable TO military
rules and regulations, he was in duty
bound to keep a quiet tongue unless he
was in a position to bring definite
charges against any member of the
military whom he might consider in
competent. Furthermore in his rank
