MADRID, March 19-In an interview
with General Wcyler, published here, the
captain-general is quoted as expressing
great surprise at the charges made against
him in the United States, I'm view of
his great prudence pending the settlement
of the question of belligerency." General
Wcyler is also credited with having said
that the attitude of congress stops the
normal development of the war. Con-
.tinuing, the interview places General
Wcyler on record as saying that numbers
of persons are joining the insurgents from
all parts of Cuba, and even from the capi-
tai, Havana, because they hope thcy will
be recognized as belligerents.
The Spanish soldiers. the captain gen
eral is said TO have added. are fighting
heroically and it is impossible to ask them
to do more. In conclusion, General Wey-

TT 10 somewhat ont of the ordi

IT is somewhat out of the ordi-
nary run of events, to say the least,
for members of the diplomatic
corps to take issue with a govern
ment on the observation of a holi-
day. So far as we are aware, the
question of fixing dates and the
manner of observing national holi-
days rests entirely with the Gov
eminent, and unless there are
features in the observances which
tend to bring about international
complications we know of no reason
why foreign representatives should
not fall into line, act their part in
the function and ask no questions.
The 18th Of January has been de-
clared a public holiday in the Re-
public of Hawaii, and it becomes a
question of more or less moment
whether an objection to take part
in an official function, because this
or that country did not see fit to
recognize. the, Provisional Govern
ment, might not be considered in
the line, of a breach of diplomatic
courtesy. 1t seems quite as sensi-
BILE for foreign Representatives to
request to be relieved from the
Observance OF New Years because
the home Governments were not
on hand to place the seal of: ap-
proval on the first attempt at mark
ing the cycles, of time. <.-5

AN UNRELIABLE FRIEND.

The. New York Nation. with its
supernatural sense of right and
wrong, in all earthly. matters, had
to catch its breath, in grasping for
words sufficiently strong enough
to approve Mr.. Cleveland's attitude
towards Hawaii, when he told us,
we had done a very unjust thing
in reconstructing our political
affairs. The Nation not only ap-
proved of his conduct towards US,
but called him a wise statesman,
a patriotic citizen, an honest citi-
zenf", foF what 7he~did.- ~Fhis~was,
of course, very comforting to Mr..
Cleveland, especially so, when the
Nation did not hesitate to guaran-
tee, as it usually does, that the
Almighty would implicitly follow
its opinions about all things in
general.
But Mr.. Cleveland's message
regarding the Venezuelan mat
tiers has sadly shocked the Ma
TONS distressingly keen sense
of right and wrong, and. now,
it does not hesitate. to put Mr..
Cleveland by the side of those
missionary thieves and pirates"
who, it always says, created. for,
base objects, our revolution of '93.
In its issue of Dec. 81, it says that
the Presidents threat of war with
England " is doubly disgraceful;"
that he is now displaying himself
as the greatest international anar-
chist of modern times" and accuses
him of playing to the galleries. It
has no charity for him, and tells
him he has .disgraeed himself >,
The friendship Of, the Nation is
about as uncertain as that of. the,
inebriated sailor, who fondly clings
tothe neck of his sober companion
for one moment, and, in the next
moment, draws away and hits him.
That paper is prone to getting NOR.
ally intoxicated on all sorts of sub
jects. In our case, the good Mr..
Charles Nordhoff mixed the drugs
that set it off on an unsteady
march. In Mr.. Cleveland's case,
his own message did it..

WHILE Rev. Mr.. Brine. il

WHILE Rev. Mr.. Brine, in his
excellent sermon "a! of yesterday
morning, was drawing illustrations
of the childish mapnerisms ofthose
who are old enough to know better,
he might well have drawn atten-
tion to the people of Honolulu who
have night after night furnished
travelling troubadours with good
audiences, but let Saturday night
lectures replete with interesting
and useful information, 60 by the
board. 1t is certainly an evidence
that all the people of this city
have not put away childish things
when they crowd the light enter
tainments, but give little more
than a bakers dozen to the lecturer.
The travelling artist gives pleas
ant diversion and is deserving of
patronage. The lecturer works in
a different way, but he is equally
deserving.
