with his foregoing statement that he

In conclusion, permit me to say that
the foregoing extracts are clipped from
Mr. Kesile's article not for the purpCs5
of commenting at length, but to show
some Inconsistencies therein, which
nearly every reader will readily under
stand. Mr.. Kastler defends his psi
Jion as aoly, perhaps, as any writer
could defend the same position. II
my opinion, he takes a very un5cn8hIe
position and one that cannot be SIC
cezsful]y defended by any body.
Taa position assumed By u State

aition to cooperate with not only the

THE HAWAIIAN CABLE SCHEME
Colonel Spaulding's Friends Not
Pleased.


Honolulu, April Il, via San Francisco,
April 10, per steamer Gaelic--Colonel
Spaulding's friends here are not pleased
with the report of the senate committee
on foreign relations on the cable bill.
They take 1t for granted that the present
congress is not disposed to aid the COM
Dany of which Spaulding is the head.
The Hawaiian government allowed
Spaulding is months in which to launch
his scheme. The option will not expire
for nearly year, and in the meantime
the hands of this government are prac-
tically tied. No proposition can be en-
tertained from any other company
If congress should refuse to grant a
subsidy to the New Jersey company this
government is assured that Spauding
will assign his contract and option to any
company that might be able to- secure the
desired aid. Gable supporters here would
be glad to have the New York and New
