out annexation, for then tho annulment of
the treaty by virtue Of annexation would
not take place, and the immigration might
90 on, FREQ from Hawairs control, should
the decision be against her, until the treaty
should be broken by other means. Hence
she prefers to lave Japan simply specify
the damages she claims for past alleged In
fringements OF tho treaty, and co let the
referee decide thereon.
1t Is noticeable that Count OKUMA does
not bring up any question Of whether he is
virtually trenching upon Hawaii's sovcr-
eign right to restrict immigration In the
conditions he makes. He alleges that pos
session of the required $50 by each immi-
grant was prima facie evidence of owner
ship that in any case Hawaii, by shifting
the issue on which she rested, had not
made II Incumbent on Japan to show that
the possession was bona 6de ownership,
and, further, that at would now. after this
lapse Of time, be unjust and unreasonable
to call upon the immigrants to provo u
BONA fdes." Nevertheless, we cannot see
that this is n reason for refusing to allow
the referee to consider at all the question
Of bona f1des, for IL Hawaii can prove afflr.
matively that there was an effort to evade
reasonable immigration laws, she appar-
emily should have the right to do 30.
But while Count OKUMA says that Japan
"eannot consent" to allow certain points
30 20 before the arbiter, IL would be prema-
turc to infer that she Intends to withdraw
her acceptance Of arbitration. She keeps q
good holi on that acceptance, preventing IL
from being final, but Hawaii may consult
with our own Government in the matter.
Now, at the worst, Hawaii can put an end
to her treaty with Japan by giving the brief
notice provided for under IL, and she can
also end It forthwith by being annexed to
the United States. Hence Japan cannot
tie Hawaii down, against her will, to talk.
Ing all the immigrants hereafter which she
chooses to send, whatever tho decision Of
tho arbiter. Thus the real question seems
to be, after all, mainly that Of ~pecuniary
damages for any past infraction Of the
treaty. Hence she may be able to arrange
with Japan, without really compromising
a sovereignty she Is about to resign, or IN
volving us In the slightest trouble.
But meanwhile the practical step for
Hawaii seems to be that of ratlfying tho
treaty Of annexation forthwith. This she
has the unquestionable right to do. We
shall certainly not take her into the Union
the less quickly for her little trouble with
Japan, and even delay in disposing OF It,
although 1t may be hoped that this will
not occur. need not interfere with the main
question of annexation.

hoy TO the situation, . prolonged bat
tie ensued, resulting In a decisive ad.
vantage to Gen. BENaoueH. who. though
numerically superior, had we'll won the day
by his long tramp In the rain. The line Of
retreat for the Northern foroe by way Of
Tilford and Elstead was cut Of.
The next day Gen. BENaouaH pressed
forward, and found that the enemy had
withdrawn to the Fox Hills, where he had
established himself with artillery. Tho
position was a strong one, and In real bat
tie there would have been q heavy slaugh-
ter OF the attacking force, sven although
Gen. TALBoT's force was inferior, and was
supposed to be simply disputing the enemy's
advance until the main body behind him
could be got ready for work.
This ended that series of tho manoeuvres,
and the next day came a new shifting OF
the commands. Ger. BENGoUGH won't over
once moro to the Northern side, while Gen.
BARNARD, succeeding to the command Of
the Southern, was reinforced by Gen.
GATAoRR's command. Gen. BENGoUaH,
who was aided by the militia brigade, In
trenched himself along Windsor Ride, and,
In spite OF the sharp attack Of Gen.
and the error of his W militia
forces In expanding their ammunition too
soon, succeeded In covering tho ~concentra-
ton of the Whole Northern army, which
took place at Northampstead.
The next day the Northern army took the
offensive, Gen. BENoouaH crossing the
Blacfwater River and defeating the enemy
at Hartford Flats. Then, the following
day, tho Northern army pushed It's ad-
vantage further and drove Gen. BARNARD'S
forces before 1t in n sharp encounter, the
final one of the ton days campaign.
We must add that tho Duke Of CON
naught, In reviewing the operations hero
described, said that In spite Of much in
clement weather, the manouvres had
been carried out with skill and en-
terprise." Mistakes had been made, but
there had been lessons learned from
them, and there had been Q Ego" in tho
troops which was promising. There can be
no doubt in fact, that these annual ma
noeuvros in tho Aldershot region give Q
familiarity with actual campaigning which
the troops concerned could acquire, in timo
of peace, in no other way.

The Sentiment for Annexation.

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sr: In your timely
editorial article entitled mo Time to Lose,- you
have. / think. expressed the sentiments OF fournfths
OF tho citizens OF tho United States. The Hawaiian
Islands should DO annexed and controlled by the
United States and NO foreign power should be al.
lowed TO have any interest in them whatever.
The extract from the Republican platform OF 1896
which you have quoted says: 1.-THE Hawaiian Islnnda
ehouid be controlled, by the United states, and no
foreign power should be allowed to interfere with
devoid OF %jingoism, but full Of good common sense.
and the sooner this plank is enforced by our Conrress
and Executive tho better It will be for the interest of
our country.
America should in plain Language inform every for.
etGn power which 10 disposed to NEEDLE with our NJ.
fairs that such interference will not be tolerated.
