A CHANGE OF POLICY.

The recall Of Captain General Weyler
from Cuba by the Liberal ministry in
Spain is matter of sincere congratula-
ton for the unfortunate people of Cuba
who have been harassed, oppressed
and murdered by Spanish soldiers for
the past two years under his orders
Weyler's removal also gives great salts
faction to the people of the United
States, who, though deeply sympathiz-
ing with the brave Cubans in their
struggle for freedom, have been compel
led to stand idly by while atrocities of
the most barbarous kind were commit
ted by the Spari ards upon the helpless
misunderstanding men, women and child
rem. While it is not believed that Spain
will relax her efforts to maintain her
authority in Cuba :t is taken for granted
that Weyler's recall will be followed by
mere humane policy in the conduct of
the war, and that murder and starvation
of Innocent people will not be the chief
methods OF reducing the revoutionists to
submission. Marshal Blanco, who has
oeeh .dppOiuUeu captain general oil Cuba
in place of Weyler, has the reputation
of being an able soldier and it is believed
he will pursue n policy similar to that of
General Campos, who was recalled soon
after the beginning of the Cuban conflict.
Senior Sagasta, the Spanish minister,
promises substantial reforms in the gov
eminent of the island; but insists that
there.must first be peace. AS this means
the absolute submission OF the revolu-
tionists to Spanish authority before n
more liberal government can be secured
by the Cubans, it is probable that the
war will continue on both sides, unless
the United States intervenes in tie in
terest of humanity and stops the conflict.
AS from the tone of the Spanish press
and the action of the declarati IN of the
Spanish government such intervention
would certainly lead to a more serious
conflict than the one now raging, this
country is naturally awaiting the de-
veloprnent Of Premier Sagasta's policy
with much anxiety. All things, how
ever, have an end, and though that of the
Cuban war Is not yet in sight it is
hoped WeyleI's removal will lead to re-
suits acceptable tc the people of the is
land as we'll as those of the United
States.

The Japanese delegates to the Boring
Sea sealing conference have arrived ut
San Francisco and are expected to reach
Washington on Friday next. The Rus
sian delegates to the conference were ex
pected to arrive in New York OH yester
day; but since Great Britain and Canada
have declined to participate in confer
ence in which Russia and Japan are rep
resented, it is hard to see what good can
be accomplished by the proposed gather
ing. Great Britain will con FER nth the
United States and Canada .on the seal
Ing question, so Lord Salisbury says, but
the objection of Canada that she would
be outvoted by Japan and Russia in a
conference in which the last named ma
lions are represented certainly holds
good, so far as America is concerned, in
such conference rs Lord Salisbury sug-
gests. Great Britain and Canada could
outvote the United States as easily MS the
Natter with the aid of Russia and japan
could outvote England and her colony.
There is evidently serious hitch be.
tween Great Britain and this country on
on the sealing question; but it is believed
the good sense displayed by both govern

After January 1st, 1893, farm 'mple-
ments and machinery of all kinds will be
admitted to Russia free of duty This is
done to help the farmers of that country,
who are suffering greatly from failure OF
crops. AS it is an i'll wind that blows
nobody good, if American manufacturers
will take advantage of the opportunity
they may realize largely in the sale OF
such wares to the unfortunate, subjects
of the czar. Agricultural machinery and
implements are necessary for the proper
cultivation of the soil, and as America Is
the foremost nation on the globe in tn cir
manufacture there is no reason why this
country should not furnish the Russians
the best and cheapest articles on the mar
ket.

If it be true that Senorita Cisneros, the
beautiful Cuban prisoner. for whom so
much sympathy has been shown in this
country, owes her release to the bravery
and determination of correspondent
of the New York journal, that paper
certainly deserves great praise foi its en-
terprise. Its correspondents, however,
will labor under great. difficulty. hereafter

cerned, in their effort at news gatheri ug

gym work. This will be held in the
evening and accommodation for a very
large number will be provided.
b. F. Beardmore was appointed a
sub committee of one to arrange for a
few numbers of music on the evening
of the exhibition. Certainly nothing
would be more fitting to an occasion
of the kind than stringed instrument
music. The Punahou orchestra would
be just the thing and it is hoped that
the boys will come forth with their
guitars. banjos, violins and mandolins
and offer their services. They will be
fully repaid by the enthusiasm with
which they will certainly be received.
Secretary Coleman and S. Johnson
constitute a subcommittee to arrange
for the gymnasium exercises. These
will be representative of the work done
during the term and will include boys
young and business mems classes.
The members have not yet been ar
ranged but there will be a variety both
recreative and educational.
