JAPANEsE-AMERICAN TRADE.

The enthusiasm with which peopl'
of the United States are receiving tbs
special ENJOYS from Japan who are
prospecting in the States for steamship
lines and an increased trade, is in many
respects remarkable, and in many sec.
tions the Americans seem to be work
/ ing contrary to all former rules and
/ regulations of custom.
| In San Francisco and other cities
along the coast we find the citizens
making strong efforts to gain favor
with the officials of the new japanese
steamship companies, and almost in
the same breath they are raising a
loud voice against Oriental competition,
and go so far as to state that the Jap
anese question will be the Chinese
problem over again. In the East the
cotton and iron producers are winning
and dining the Japanese officials and
looking happy over the prospect of in
creased trade with the new commercial
nation of the Orient. To the citizens of
this country who are in touch with the
national spirit of both the interested
countries, is is an open question how
this commercial love feast will end
With the Americans it is natural to
expect that they will want to sell their
raw material to Japan, and then turn
about and shut out Japanese manufac-
lures, to say nothing of Japanese i'm
migration. At the rate the japanese are
now making Roadway, the Americans
will probably wake up later in the day
to find that Japan has the lions share
of the carrying trade of the Pacific
and by cheap labor and low freights will
be able to defy even a Mckinley tariff
in placing its manufactures on the Am
erican market. Then there will be a
great cry go up all along the Pacific
coast. But it will be too late; the
Japanese will have gained the advant-
age they desire, and nothing but the
reputation of treaty rights, which
would be practical declaration of war
will stop their Roadway. BY their act
i've efforts to extend commerce the
Japanese today are showing business
tact and energy that is quite equaling
that of the long-headed business men
of the United States

DISPLAY ISLAND PRODUCTS.

The suggestion coming from the Blu
reau of Agriculture to transform the
old legislative hall in the Judiciary
building into an exhibit hall for the
display of Island products ought TO
meet with hearty approval. At the pres
ent there is absolutely nothing to give
an idea of what can be raised or what
is raised on the Islands. Tourists come
here with the impression that Hawaiian
soil is sugar cane soil, and some of it
is adapted to coffee growing, and ten
chances to one they stay here several
weeks and go away with the same i'm
preston. Furthermore, there ought to
be some provision made for display of
the natural fauna of the country. Ex-
otics are pushing their way in with
such rapidity that it will not be many
years before it will be forgotten that
Hawaii ever had any individuality. AS
a matter of fact, this work ought to
have been taken up by the business
men as a means of advertising the
country, but as the business commune
ty does not seem to have become suf-
ficientIy inspired, it is certainly quite
proper that the agricultural bureau of
the Government should take hand in
establishing a permanent display of
Island products. The question of floor
space is one that need cause no trouble,
and to make a beginning comparative
ly little money will be required.

lie about as incomplete an idea of the
true situation as it is possible to gain
There are encounters between the Span
ish and Cubans, which are at first re-
ported as Spanish victories and later as
Cuban victories, and vice versa. 1t has
remained for the ST. Louis Tribune to
compile the history of General Maceo's
death in the style in which Cuban his
tory of the present time is being writ
ten by various correspondents. The
Tribune sets forth the situation as fol-
lows:
And Maceo, the renowned in
surgent chief, was also killed this day.
He and his whole band were surround
ed and slaughtered. He died with the
cry, Long live the Republic!' on his
lips.
Nothing daunted Maceo gathered
another band of desperate men and be-
gan to desolate the surrounding coun-
try. He plundered many homes and
burned the houses to the ground. Luck
lily Colonel Hidalgo appeared in the
neighborhood with a strong force, arm
ed with magazine rifles. Maceo's wicked
soul fed, for fourteen bullets had en-
tered his body.
Zone more bullet and he would have
been lost. As it was, the loss of blood
so weakened Maceo that he was hardly
able to accomplish his customary daily
victory on the following day. His head
less trunk was discovered on the field
when the insurgents had retired. A
cannon ball had taken his head off.
81 do not expect mercy, replied
Maceo a few days later. He was made
prisoner and confronted with General
Carambo; and the General had him shot
there and then.
eve have reason to suppose that
Maeo is at present in fortified position
where he intends to await the attack
of the Government troops. He can
hardly escape the troops sent out for
his capture, and will continue to die a
glorious death for Cuba and Liberty"
The same story might be written of
nearly every incident in the whole
struggle In the last dispatches, it was
announced that Weyler was ready to
treat for peace, and in the same col
umns were published accounts of the
thousands of dollars being forwarded
to the insurgents by American SYM
pathizers, also of more money and men
being sent forward from Spain to carry
the war into the enemies country and
kill off the rebels one by one if neces-
sary.
The people of the world are positive
Of two things that the fighting is still
going on and that the sugar crop is
doomed for another season. On gen
eral principles these facts may be con-
as favorable to the rebels. 1t
is certain that the Spanish method of
warfare is entirely inadequate to cope
with the guerilla methods of the insur-
gents, and so long as men and ammu- {
milton are supplied by filibuster expedi-
lions. the insurgents will continue to
1evastate the Island and harass the
Spanish troops.
