\ good scheme of the Cubans is to
have an authoritative report of the
condition of their part of the Island
made by some one whose veracity can
not be denied. The Cuban League in
the United States is sending out re-
tired officer of the United States Army,
of high position and wealth, who,
landing at one of the Southern Ports,
will make a thorough investigation of
both social and military conditions.
This is really what the unbiased world
wants. The fake news which has been
sent by the Cuban correspondents who
continue to reside in Key West, has
really done the Cuban cause more
harm that Weyler's troops. The read
ing public has got to the point where
it hardly believes anything about Cuba
in the newspapers. The Spanish Of
fetal news is known to be cooked. The
newspaper reports are known to be
faxed. 1T will be a great satisfaction
to those who like to keep themselves
abreast of the world to get some
authentic information upon the state
of affairs.

THE BENIN DISASTER.

Threads bind even very distant peo-
pie. Who would have thought that Ha-
wall. in the middle Pacific, could have
any thread which would unite it to
West Africa? Yes so it is. One of the
daughters of Hawaii was only three
years ago married to an English naval
officer, whose course of duty led him
to the West African coast. The coast
is known to be unhealthy and the COM
missions are therefore short. 1t was
but a separation of eighteen months
and Mrs. Pritchard, daughter of DR..
Wight of Kohala, one of our oldest and
most respected citizens, returned to
her home on these islands during the
interval. \ day or two ago she was
apprized of the death of her husband
in an attack upon Benin.
Perhaps a good many people will
ask with Geronte in Les Fourbcries
de Supin,' "Que lie diable allait il
faire dams cette galere?" which
means. 'what the devil has England
to do in such out of the way places?'
She has. Along the west coast of
Africa there is a chain of trading posts
from which come many valuable
staples that civilization must have.
There are men who are willing to risk
their lives in such a cause for pay, and
of course the West Coast is dotted
with communities of this class of men,
Some of them who have given up the
business are to be found in Honolulu
today.
The trader on the West Coast is deal
ing with a savage and knows it. \
Consul is sent out who does not know
it. Result, confidence on the part Of
the Consul. as the EXPEDITION, un-
armed, to the Chief of BONN, is shown
to have been, with utter disaster to
everyone connected with this peaceful
advance.
Commander Pritchard lost his life
in an advance to revenge the treachery
of the BONN chief. a later expedition
burnt the town and eXacted fair re-
venge, and it is probable that a later
still will exact more. But it does seem
waste of life to be thrown away
against the spears of barbarous blacks.
The trouble is that when the story
comes to be read in full it will not be
spears but Winchester or other rifles
that have been supplied by unscrup-
ulous traders. Civilization, through its
worst elements, is always supplying
arms against itself.
Whatever the criticisms may be Il
gallant officer has fallen and people
here can sympathize with His widow.

The question of buying the Islands
of ST. Thomas, st. CroiX and ST. John,
known as the Danish West Indies, is
very likely to come up before the Com
mittee of Foreign Relations. There is
n treaty between the United States and
Denmark, which was signed at Copen-
hagen in 1867, allowing the former 10
make the purchase if it were desirable.
This treaty has never been acted upon.
1t is understood, however. that Ger
many is reaching out for coaling sta
tons in the West Indies, and the ques-
tion is now likely to be prominently
brought up: Can Denmark sell to
Germany while the 1867 treaty holds
good?' The trend of events shows
that sooner or later the policy of the
United States must change and that
the outlying islands about her coasts
must fall under her direct influence
and rule.

MARCH .. 1907.

Since we last spoke of agri-
cultural implements in this
column, events have taken
place that are of great import
ance to us and to the users of
agricultural implements. 1t is
nothing more nor less than
the collecting under one roof
of all our stock that has been
heretofore placed in various
warehouses throughout the
city.
We are not boasting when
we say that we have the largest
and best show room of any
house, in our line of goods, in
the Hawaiian Islands.
We have not only the largest
show room, but the best light
ed and best arranged. All the
implements are arranged so
that it is possible to see the
assortment, which is always
kept complete, to the best ad-
vantage.
The central location of the
show room is another point in
favor. The entire building on
Fort Street, next to our retail
store, formerly occupied by H.
w. Schmidt and Sons is taken
up with Rice plows, 7 sizes,
Breaker plows in II, Ia, l6
inch, Sulky Disc-Plows, Stub
bic Diggers, Stubble Shavers,
Sugar Land Cultivators, Wheel
barrows, Aspinwall Potatoe
Planters, Extra parts for the
various lines, Aermotors and
Sewing Machines; in fact every
thing needed by our patrons.
Speaking of our plows we
are in receipt almost daily of
unsolicited testimonials of their
sterling merit. We don't care
to elbow our own horn," as we
would prefer you would find
out these things of your own
accord, yet it is nothing more
than justice to ourselves that
we speak of them. Next time
you are in the city don't fail to
see our new showroom.

A feature of Aluminium
Ware is the ease with which
it is cleaned. No matter how
black it may get over the fire,
a pinch of soda in the water in
which the utensil is washed,
will clean it as bright as
polished silver. The impress
sion has gone forth that alu-
minum will not stand hard
knocks. This is mistake,
because, when it sustains such
injuries as usually happen tin
pans, etc, just push it back in
place and it is as good as new.
Manufacturers have so adj
ded to the list of articles that
there are few things used in
the kitchen that are not made
of aluminium. We have a large
stock of this ware, and a large
assortment, a partial list of
which is here given:
Saucepans, Fry Pans, Pre-
serving Kettles, Tea Kettles,
Coffee Pots, Tea Pots, Tea

with sharp colloquies and vigorous speech

The ball was set rolling when Mr. Nor
rill endeavored to pass the bill prohibiting
the use Of intoxicants in the Capitol build

busybodies and mischief makers inspiring
this class of legislation. The senator spoke
for the fullest enjoyment of individual lib

The speech was not only notable for the
vigor which Mr.. Hin threw into il, but
also for its effect in prolonging the debate.
The immigration bill was rccommitted
TO conference, Mr.. Lodge in charge of the
measure, adopting this course as a result
of urgent appeals for modification of the
bill. Before this was done, however, a
warm personal and political colloquy 90
CURED between Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Chan
dler on one hand and Mr.. German on the

ton to recent suggestions of steamship

that the Maryland senator had for the
first time turned an immigration debate
into partisan channels.
Mr. Villas continued his speech against
the Nicaragua canal bill and had not con-
cluded when the senate adjourned.
The proceedings in the house were very
dull and almost entirely devoid of public
fntprast The major portion Of the session
was devoted to the District Of Columbia
appropriation bill.
The amendment to that bill to repeal a
law by which the court of claims was en-
gagged in passing on claims aggregating
81 400, coo against the District during the
Governor Shepherd regime was adopted
with practical unanimity. Bills were pass
ed to authorize the construction of light
