An End to 1t.

NEW YORK, June PA special to
the Herald from Madrid says: All the
daily papers publish the letter of Cen
eral Campos from his seconds, Mar
quis Miranda de Ebro and Marquis
Cabrinanad, quoting the one addressed
by them to General Borreros seconds.
in which they say that in view of the
measures adopted by the government
conformably with the military and
civil law and many other circum-
stances .deeming the honor and valor
Of Marshal Campos fully sustained,
they consider any further prolongation
of the situation indefensible by the
laws of honor. Therefore they with
draw from the mission intrusted to
them by General Campos.
This puts an end to the affair, much
TO the satisfaction of everyone.

lively little interest. The true
situation, the unanimous support
which the President received, the
wiplng ont of party lines, all came
as surprise. The one man who
has done more to place the British
mind right on the subject is Henry
Normann, the American repre-
sentative of the London Chronicle.
Mr.. Normann guaged the situation
and has been assiduously at work
in giving his fellow countrymen
correct review of the American
sentiment. He has been a warm
advocate of arbitration and has
undoubtedly done not a little in
calming the troubled spirits of
both nations. Through his efforts
and the settling of mems minds to
a solid common sense basis, the
war spirit is disappearing and the
factions are coming to a
careful consideration of what is the
best thing to be done.

AN EXAMPLE WORTH NOTING.

There is food for a vast amount
of serious study for the Anglo
Saxon residents OF this country in
the quiet, but aggressive, work Of
the Japanese Commercial Union,
of which a description of the
methods and objects to be attained
is given in another column. In
this, as in nearly every movement
to which the, Japanese put their
hands, we find unity of purpose
and loyalty to the mother country
which is characteristic of the nation
and forebodes success. This means
competition, sharp competition,
that will not decrease in strength
as the years 60 by. The question
at once arises, what is being
done to meet this competition? 1t
is straight business proposition
which must be met sooner or later.
From present appearances it would
seem that many of our residents are
calmly viewing the situation and
with eyes fairly well opened are
trusting to previous good fortune for
the future. One of the arguments
now being used by many Ameri-
cans in California against the
white residents in this country, is,
that we are not making an effort
to return the benefits which are
derived by reciprocal relations
with the United States, that we
are going to markets outside
the United States and also
allowing Japan to gain the as
tendency. These accusations are
In a measure exaggerated, ana
comparative tables show that our
imports from San Francisco are on
the increase. Butat the same time
if we showed the same patriotic
commercial loyalty to the country
that has been our benefactor as
our japanese brethren, there
could be no cause for complaint
from that source. 1t is problem
that is growing in Importance and
it is better to meet it face to face be-
fore it becomes too bulky to han
die. The Japanese by their united
action are,setting a good example.

IT is somewhat out of the ordi.

IT is somewhat out OF the ordl-
nary run of events, to say the least,
for members of the diplomatic
corps to take issue with 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 holt
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 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 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 mo-
on hand to place the seal of ap.
proval on the first attempt at mark
ing the cycles of time.

To-Day our German fellow cit
liens celebrate the twenty-ffth an
niversary of the re-establishment
of the German Empire. Founded
by Charlemagne in A. D. 800, it
continued till 1904, running in the
House of Hapsburg from 1437 to
that date it had glorious record.
But none of its historical events
were more dramatic than that great
scene in the hall of the Marshals'
at Versailles when the conquering
King of Prussia, surrounded by the
generals, by the pick of the elite
of his nation, fresh from the battle
field, with the unwithered laurel
on his brow, was proclaimed En-
peror of a united German people.
He was a great man, he had great
men around him, and our fellow
citizens are more than justified in
celebrating a great, we may say,
a magnificent historical event. To

THE war cloud that has settled
over England and Germany pre-
sents without doubt, the most seri-
Gus aspect of any disturbance that
has arisen in the worlds political
atmosphere for some years. As in
the Venezuelan affair however, it
is safe to say that while war is a
possibility, it is by no means pro-
bable. The land grabbing advances
of England have stirred Germany
to take action which has given rise
to feeling among Britons that the
whole world is pitted against them.
The British blood is up and like
the Americans. every mothers son
is ready, to fight rather than see
their country put to shame by any
opponent. On the other hand the
solid thinking men ofrTaH nations
realize, the honor of European
war, also the fact. that upon the
nation taking the initiative in an
armed conflict falls the responsible
lily of Getting in motion a general
war throughout the Eastern hemis-
phere. Russia is simply holding
back to see what is to be the out
come, ready at any time to make
an advance in Asia and gain her
much courted territory. This would
undoubtedly involve Japan, pos
sibly China and it is hardly safe
to predict that France could main
tain strict neutrality. One of the
remarkable features in the recent
war talk that is far from reassur-
ing, is the readiness shown by
many veterans who know all the
horrors of armed strife, to again 60
to the field and settle problems on
which the diplomats have failed.
Should the unexpected happen and
the young Emperor of Germany
and the British premier stand
firm in their desire to try the
national mettle, the declaration Of
war which must follow would be
the darkest blot that has ever dis
graced modern civilization.

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 fol
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-
zen" for what he did. This 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. 1t
has no charity for him, and tells
him he has disgraced himself. i
The friendship of the Nation is
about as uncertain as that of the |
inebriated sailor, who fondly clings
to the 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 SUBJ
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,
bis own message did it.

THE prospects for Cuban indie
pendence have never been brighter
than today. Although the report
ed downfall of Havana has proved
a canard, the patriots have adj
vanced steadily and have set the
hearts of the Spanish authorities
quaking, as is evidenced by their
near approach to Havana and the
proclamation of martial law in
that city. The program of the pa
triots seems to be to ruin the sugar
crop in the outlying districts and
by crippling the leading business
of the island bring the people to
their terms. The work of devasta-
tion has had an important bearing
upon the sugar market, asis shown
by the following, given in Wille,t
& Gray's Statistical Of January Sd:
a.:The Cuban news is more impor-
tant than ever. Plantation after
plantation has been burned in the
unimpeded march of the insurgents
through the island. We can state
authoritatively that it has been.
decided by the insurgents to con-
tinue destroying all the cane fields
of Cuba whether grinding is at
tempted or not. The buildings
will be saved as far as practicable.
In view of these facts we must re-
duce our estimate of the Cuba crop
very largely, and in place of our
original estimate of 100000 tons
on May 9, 1895, we now estimate
not exceeding 100000 tons. I'm.
less burned cane fields are plowed
and attended to at once there can
be no succeeding crop in 1897, so
that those persons who desire to
look further ahead can confidently
count on a very small crop in
Cuba in 1897 regardless of the out
come of the rebellion. Our to-
days Havana cable says the news
from the interior is very unsatis-
factory"

WHILE Rev. Mr.. tBirnie, in his
excellent sermon OF yesterday
morning, was drawing illustrations
of the childish mannerisms ofthose
who are old enough to know better,
he might well have drawn atten-
ton 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, go 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 a pleas
ant diversion and is deserving OF
patronage. The lecturer works In
a different way, but he is equally
deserving.

An Actors Luck.

Slade Murray, the English singer
who passed through here on the
Alameda a month ago under en-
gagement at the Orpheum, has had
an unpleasant experience in San
Francisco. When he presented
himself at the theatre the manager
refused to recognize the contract,
owing to Murray being a steamer
late. He secured an engagement at
the Alcazar for two weeks, and, at
its termination, will go to Chicago,
where he is engaged for February.

VENEZUELAN DEVELOPMENTS.

So far as newspaper dispatches
are concerned, the Venezuelan af-
fair has paled almost to insignifi-
canoe. This is due partly to the
more serious complications that
have arisen among the European
powers, but principally to the fact
that the season for pyrotechnic dis
play has passed, and the problem
now awaits the verdict of the COM
mission appointed by President
Cleveland. The opening session of
this body gives every indication
that the investigation will be car
7ried on with all possible dispatch.
For men of intellectual finish and
personal integrity, the makeup of
the commission could not be i'm
proved. 1t must be admitted,
however, that it has a failing not
unknown in similar combina-
tions in the United States.
1t lacks trained diplomats. Presi-
dent White. and possibly Mr..
Coudert, are the only members who
have been in position to become
acquainted with the practical side
OF diplomatic affairs. Justice
Brewer, President Gilman and
Judge Alvey are men of unques-
tionable ability, but they are not
the men trained to the service
as would probably be characters
tic feature if similar body were
formed by the British government. 1t
is safe to say however that these men
will proceed carefully and will not be
Influenced to any considerable ex-
tent by the enthusiasts OF either OF
the great political parties. They
will make haste slowly and al
though they may be outwitted by
the more tactical Britons with
whom they must have more or less
dealing, they will not force the
United States into any more dis
agreeable complications than exist
at the present time.
One of the interesting develop
ments in this affair is the change
of feeling that has taken place in
Great Britain. When President
Cleveland's message was first made
public, there was hardly news
paper or public man in Eng
land that took the matter SER
iously. 1t was generally re-
garded as a political move on
the part of the President in which
the American people took compare
