BRADLEY WANTS WAR.
Saws the Cuban Insurgents Will Eventu-
ally Win and Thinks Spain VIII De-
clare War On the United States.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 11.-Gen. Bradley
T. Johnson, who recently returned from
Cuba, says that he believes the insur-
gents will eventually win, possibly with
in eight months, Notwithstanding the
enormous forces arrayed against them.
But there Is another feature" he con-
tnued, about the contest worthy of
note. If the incumbent administration
does not take some action looking to the
recognition of the independence of Cuba,
it is my opinion that President-elect Nc
Kinley will take that step Immediately
upon his inauguration as president"
sWhat would be the effect of such a
step?"
"A declarat ton of war by Spain against
the United States. 1t is true that such
"a war would be short-lived, resulting dis
astrously to Spain, but 1t would afford
Spain an opportunity, while losing Cuba,
to uphold her national honor. She would
be in a position to say that she was not
overcome by insurgents, but by a superb
or power, the United States.
cit is one of the fundamental princi-
pies of the national honor Of Spain that
there shall be no surrender to any re-
bellion in her colonies and, while she has
lost those in America, the loss has been
by purchase or by methods by which her
national honor has not been jeopardized.
OF course, in case of war with Spain the
United States would demand an indem-
nifty. That indemnity would be Cuba.
And so you see Spain would not surren-
der Cuba to the insurgents, but to the
United States.
81 can say this, that our political cam
paign having been settled, there will be
a revival in the interests Of Americans
in Cuban affairs"

WHAT COMMISSIONER COUDERT
SAYS.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE Evening Jour-
nal prints the following:
Commissioner Frederic Coudert, who
arrived in the city tonight, when ques-
toned regarding the attitude of the COM
mission in regard to the settlement Of
the Venezuelan dispute, said: Il have
just returned from Washington, where
the Venezuelan boundary commission
has been in session for the past two days.
All of the members OF the commission
were much pleased at the possibility OF a
speedy settlement of the Venezuelan
question
'Lold Salisbury's announcement, while
1t comes in the nature of pleasant sur
prise, is nevertheless an acknowledge
ment that England has gracefully yield
ed to the demands of our government
and will become a party to an arbitration
treaty that will no doubt be accepta-
BILE to both governments.
at have never had any doubt but that
England would accede to our terms, but |
did not think that the difficulty would
be settled as soon as this.
Lord Salisbury has done the very best
possible thing under the circumstances,
and think that in two weeks lime sir
Julian Paunceforte and Secretary OF
State Olney will sign the protocol or the
proposed treaty which will settle the dis
pute and also adjust the boundary line
between Venezuela and British Guina.
"The commissioners have decided to
withhold their report for the present I'M
til the treaty of arbitration goes into er-
feet. We may perhaps never make q
report except to the president, In order
to show exactly what we have done.
at does not matter how this thing Is
settled l feel that the work of the COM
mission has not been in vain, as we have
labored to gather lot of useful informa-
ton that will be valuable in years 10
come.
1.-THE suggestion of permanent court
to try all questions of international
boundary is, I think, good one, but
do not know that such scheme Is 70
be Incorporated in the proposed treaty. =
Regarding the clause in the treaty thal
provides that in the Settled districts,
q term of fifty years of undisturbed resi-
dence shell be regarded as giving the
right to possession, Mr.. Coudert SAID
s'This. I think, is no more than right; IL
Is nothing more than another illustra-
tion of the law of vested rights. VI
course IL the Venezuelans sit idly by and
see the English make improvements ana
cultivate the land for such length 81
time. then certainly they ought not TO
expect to reap the reward OF another
work. .,o thu
II might say in this connection ina.
Great Britain has seen her mistake III
taking the untenable attitude that she
did against the Monroe doctrine ana her
consent to submit to arbitration IS pracs
tically an admission of the justice Oh
yenezuela's claims"

CLAPP FAILS AGAIN.
Big New York Stock Dealers and Backers
of Fort Payne Go to the Wall
Turned Bears.

New York, Nov. 11.-Clapp G. Co., deal
ers in stocks and grain. have failed. Last
might the firm made an assignment to
w. T. Davis, Jr.
The failure occasioned some surprise,
as the firm has been credited with doing
a very large business during the last five
years of its existence in this city The
firm are members of the New York pro-
duce and cotton exchanges and of the
Chicago board of trade. They were for
merly members of the Consolidated ex-
change, but resigned with the idea of
becoming members of the New York
stock exchange. The latter failed to
act favorably on the firms application
for membership. The firm had extensive
offices in the Mills building and a small
army of clerks.
No particulars concerning the failure
were vouchsafed at the offices of the
firm
The partners are Ozro W. and Dwight
o. Clapp, father and son. The father
started in business in Chicago in 1859
and in New York in 1887. They claimed
ly known throughout the country, espe-
cially in the north and east. This was
brought about by their methods of ad-
vertising by circular letters and in the
newspapers.
They dealt heavily in Stocks cotton,
grain and provisions.
The failure caused great surprise in
the street and none of the facts became
l9ublic during the morning. Up to the
present time the firm had enjoyed fairly
good standing.
The elder member of the firm was one
OF the oldest members of the board of
s. trade of Chicago. He failed there some
years ago with liabilities that were in the
neig hborhood of $1,000,000 1t was one
of The heaviest Chicago had had.
Var. Clapp settled, however, and con-
tinued business in Chicago, but after
wards removed to this city and organized
the business that collapsed today.
II was rumored on the street that the
firm mad been short on stocks and were
epef ating on the bear side of the mar
Let
1t will be remembered that Clapp &
Co. were largely interested in booming
Fort Payne and later on Cardiff. Both of
these were failures and owing to certain
existing litigation it is said that this had
son.et thing to do with the suspension.

B. F. RODEN DECLINES
To Enter the Race for Mayor and Files
His Declaration With the Mayor,

The State Herald was telephoned last
night that Mr.. B. F. Roden has declined
to enter the race for mayor, and had
filed his declaration with the mayor,
For several days many friends have
been insisting on Mr.. Roden entering the
race, and at mass melting held Thurs
day night in Erswell hall Mr.. Roden was
nominated over several candidates.
1t has been known to many of Mr.. Ro-
den's frineds, however, that he did not
care to enter into a scramble for the
office, and last night he finally decided
positively not to make the race.
Mr. Roden has many friends in the
city, both personal and political, and his
ability as a leader was fully recognized
and commented upon when he was made
chairman of the Bryan and Sewall cep-
trail campaign committee of Jefferson
county, a position he filed with credit
to himself and the democratic party.

ENGLAND'S BACKDOWN.
British Papers Doing Some Loud Talking
What Commissioner Coudert Says
About the Venezuelan Matter.

London, Nov. 1.-THE Globe. comment
ing upon the Venezuelan arbitration
treaty, says that it welcomes the agree
ment because it releases the United
States from false and dangerous posi-
ton.
If the commission had reported adj
versely to Great Britain, the paper adds,
President Cleveland would have been
forced to attempt to coerce Great Britain
or eat humble pie, with the result that II
the washington government had seen lit
to enter the unequal contest with Eng
land, the development of the United
States would have been retarded for half
a century.
The Globe also says: 1t must be clear
ly understood that the constitution of the
new arbitration tribunal IS not to estab-
fish precedent for arranging all further
disputes between the United States and
the United Kingdom in North and South
America, nor are we ready to recognize
Monroeism as International law.
The st. James Gazette asks whether
the agreement will not throw into arbi-
tration all of the region between the
Schomburgk line and the settled territory
of Guiana which England has declared
would never be submitted to arbitration,
which course the United states have de-
clared England would be forced to take.
IF it does" says the Gazette, the
American claim that the agreement is
square backdown on the part of Great
Britain will be difficult to prove"

HERE'S A HOT ONE.
A Music Hall Performer Creates SEN

A MUSIC HaII FtTIUTIIIFT CIedtts otII-
sation at the National Horse Show.
New York, Nov. 1.-THE horse show
provided mild sensation to those in at
tendance tonight. A music hall artistic
now performing in this city had entered
a white stallion, and the entry list being
open to all, her entry was received. To
night the lady appeared ready to mount
and ride in the ring when 1t was discov-
cred that the horse was equipped with a
mans saddle.
Further investigation showed that the
lady was picturesqnely attired in long
drab paddock coat, which only partially
disguised pair OF top boots surmounted
by pink fieshincs This proved little to
strong for the management and she was
notified that she could not appear in the
ring in that attire. She expostulated, but
the officials were obdurate, and fine adj
vertising scheme was nipped in the bud.

A ship load of Agateware
would be a big lot for one
store even in the United
States; it's a big lot for Homo
lulu aud more than we receiv-
ed, but what we did get on
two sailing vessels would as
tonish the people if they saw
all the articles in one pile
Our stock of Agateware is
selected from "Firsts" not
Seconds" the quality is the
best that can be made and we
sell it at the piece you used to
pay for the second quality.
This means a saving of 3355
per cent, because the life of a
first-cIass price Of Agateware
is a third longer than one of
the second class.
When buying for the holi-
day season there is more
pleasure in receiving a useful
present than in a bauble.
Every housewife loves good
China and there is nothing
more beautiful than q set of
Haviland. We have a COM
plete stock of this ware and
sell it in full sets or single
pieces SO that if you want to
fill up a set that has been
broken or purchase a dozen
plates or course set you can
be accommodated.

LEWIS & Co.

There are few gourmets in
Honolulu who do not know
our Maltese Cross Hams.
They are cured expressly for
US and are infinitely better
than any other ham on the
market for boiling or roasting
This brand Of ham is from
selected stock and is in the
pickle a uniform number of
hours. They cost a trifie more
than ordinary hams but they
are fifty per cent. better in
quality.
If you want to roast one of
these hams here's a good
recipe: Put it in cold water
and let it soak over night, then
pour off the water, wipe the
ham dry and put it into the
kettle again, cover with fresh
water and boil for three hours.
Then take it out, scrape the
rind when cool, put it into
another kettle and pour four
pints of cider over it and then
enough water to cover. Put
in a bay leaf, cloves, allspice
and cinnamon and allow it to
boil slowly for two hours more,
never letting the water boil
over, Then take it out, wipe
it thoroughly and dust it with
powdered sugar and cloves,
sticking whole spices here and
there in the fat. Put into the
oven and bake for an hour and
IA half. The Maltese Cross
Hams are the only ones
suitable for cooking in this
way and we are the exclusive
dealers in them.
