lie Swore In Spanish.

There is also here lot of burros for people to ride and Mexican to care for and drive them. His name is Frank and he talks to them in Spanish using some vigorous terms when he wants them to move more lively than their accustomed gait. One day 8 very dIgnified preacher from Texar- kama arrived and mounted on burro, started up the hill, hearing Frank use some vigorous terms to cause the burros to move lively, he asked what ed carefully the minister took them up quite readily and the rest of the way rolled out the Spanish in great gusto causing his burro to make extra good time His disgust and chagrin could be better imagined than describ- ed however when he learned that he had been swearing at his burro in Spanish and in the most vigorous Mexican style all the way up the hill. 
 Mrs George Taylor, of Texarkana, while at Mt Mena recently going there from Boggs springs, was the first lady to ride to the station in the new hack and expressed herself while being es- corted thither by Mir. Gordon, as being very well impressed with the beauties and prospects of Mount Mena She was quite enthusiastic in her praise of the place as a resort and declared that she would return next year with her family to remain the entire season.
 E D. Lingold, of Texarkana said, .I am very well impressed with Mt. Mena as resort and will leave my family here. l see no reason why any one should dislike it, the ar is coo and fresh, and 1t is certainly a healthy place expect to buy lot and sent my family here each season.

WILL Is BE soP

How interesting and exciting and
quite novelty, it would be to see a
Corporal's guard from the Naniwa
take possession of the Custom
House, escorted by guard of honor
from Dole's army, and remain in
possession until they have collected
the amount of their claim. There
could be no Interference from the
American men of-war in port so
long as the creditor collects his bill
peacefully; and well-if they did
interfere, Cui bono? Such events
might happen in the course of a few
days. We do not say that they will,
and we decidedly hope that they
will not, but thoy are among the
possibilities and there are several
international presidents for them.

FAI Sc STATEMENT

In order 10 prevent the Advertiser
from taking a snap judgment by
default, when it states that Hawaii
practically says it will accept the
form Of annexation offered by the
United States" and again "Hawaii
stands ready to place itself under
the American flag" and snch like
remarks, The INDEPENDENT says, and
it knows whereof it speaks, that
these statements are deliberately
untrue except so far as the usurping
non. representative government of
Hawaii is concerned, The govern
ment thoroughly understand this, or
it would make preparations for a
vote Of the people on the question.
The government knows that the
cause of annexation is only re-
presented by a clique, a minority OF
a minority even, and that their
tenure OF office is doomed.

AS TO THE FUTURE.

In treating the matter Of inter-
national auimosties the New York
Outlook says, OF the feeling between
some Americans and the people Of
Great Britain: at is high time to
bury all our old and bitter memories
Of struggles with the mother coun-
try. All nations have done things
which they wish. forgotten. Eng
land looks back on her policy to-
ward the American colonies with no
satisfaction. We likewise look back
on the Mexican war with bitter
feeling OF shame. The history Of no
country is clean, and no country is
in position to cast stone at
another"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-06-12

And now the jingoes in the United
States would add another act to
which in the future they would look
back "with a bitter feeling OF
shame" To annex these islands
without the consent of the Hawai-
ians, after the action of the United
States Minister and the military
forces OF the United States in 1898,
would be blot upon the fair fame
of America that time could not
efface. There are men in the United
States Senate who, knowing the cir
cumstances, cannot think with
patience of the proposition to an
mex Hawaii after the Infamous out
rage Of 1898. The people OF Amer
lea after time for sober ,econd
thought are becoming averse TO an
act which shocks the national con-
science.

In December, 1893, Mr.. Willis,
then United States Minister, under
instructions from the President OF
the United States, said to Mr.. Dole
and his o-conspirato rs, composing
the Provisional Government OF Ha-
waii: II 81 need hardly premise
that the Presidents action upon the
Hawaiian question has been under
the dictates of honor and duty. 1t
is now, and has been from the begin
ing, absolutely free from prejudice
and resentment, and entirely con-
sistent with the long established
friendship and treaty ties which
have 80 closely bound together
our respective governments. The
President deemed it his duty to
withdraw from the Senate the treaty
of annexation which had been sign
cd by the Secretary of State and the
agents of your Government, and to
dispatch trusted representative to
Hawaii to impartially investigate
the causes OF your revolution, and
ascertain and report the true sit
uation in these islands. The
Provisional Government was not es-
tablished by the Hawaiian people
or with their consent or acquiesence
nor has it since existed with their
consent. The Queen refused to
surrender her powers to the Pro-
visional Government until convinced
that the Minister OF the United
States had recognized it as the de
facto authority and would support
and defend it with the military force
of the United States, and that resist
ance would precipitate bloody con-
fict with that force, She was adj
vised and assured by her ministers
and by leaders of the movement for
the overthrow of her government
that, if she surrender under protest
her case would afterwards be fairly
considered by the President of the
United States. The Queen finally
yielded to the armed forces OF the
