forty-eight other vessels. ranging from
armored cruisers to torpedo boats. There
are under construction five battieships of
the first class sixteen torpedo boats and
one submarine boat. No provision has
yet been made for the armor of three of
the five battleships, as 1t has been impos-
sible to obtain it at the price fixed by con-
gress. 1t is of great Importance that
congress provide this armor. as until then
the ships are Of no fighting value The

Intelligence of Swallows.

Grant Allen tells some curious ano
wonderful things about swallows. In
making the mud vans Of their nests,
they allow each layer to dry thorough.
ly before proceeding to top it with an.
other. In building their nests in chin.
neys they place them five or
six feet below the top to keep out OF
the way Of owls, and not directly over
the fire, but over an adjoining flue.
The emergence Of the young birds
from this place is a remarkable in.
stance of instinct which seems to al
most reach intelligence. AS soon as
they are strong enough to move, the
little things Chamber up the shaft by

ual compromise between flop and
flutter. Having succeeded in reaching
the top, it is some time before they
venture to fly: they acquire the art by
degrees" Many instances have been
given Of their remarkable intelligence.
In one case bell-wire on which a
swallows nest partly rested twice de.
molished it. Convinced that it was a
dangerous object, they constructed o
tunnel for the wire to pass through,
and were troubled no more. In an.
other, a pair of swallows were mo.

international Arbitration

International arbitration cannot be
omitted from the list of subjects claim

served to strengthen the general views on
this question expressed in my inaugural
address. The best sentiment Of the civ
iiized world is moving toward the settle
ment of differences between nations with

Belllgerency Not Favored.

I regard the recognition Of the bellger-
| ency of the Cuban insurgents as now un-
wise and therefore inadmissible Should
| that step hereafter be deemed wise as a
measure Of right and duty the executive
will take II.
Intervention upon humanitarian grounds
has been frequently suggested and has
not failed 10 receive my most anxious and
earnest consideration. But should such a
step be now taken when II Is apparent
that q hopeful change has supervened
in the policy of Spain toward Cuba? A
| new government has taken Office I'm the
| mother country. 1t is pledged in advance
to the declaration that all the effort in
the world cannot suffice to maintain peace
in Cuba by the bayonet; that vague prom
Uses of reform after subjugation afford
no solution of the insular problem; that
with substitution of commanders must
| come a change of the past system Of war
fare for one In harmony with a new pol
icy which shall no longer aim to drive the
Cubans to the horrible alternative of
taking to the thicket or succumbing in
misery; that reforms must be inst,tut-
| ed in accordance with the needs and cir
| cumstances Of the time and that these re-
| forms, while designed TO give full auton-
omy to the colony and to create a vr-
| tual entity and self-controlled admins
tration, shall yet conserve and affirm the
sovereignty or Spain by Just diStribu-
| ton of powers and burdens upon a basis
of mutual interest, untainted by meth
DDS of selfish expedlency.
The first acts of the new government lie
in these honorable paths. The policy OF
cruel rapine and determination that so
long shocked the universal sentiment Of
humanity has been reversed. Under the
new military commander a broad elem
ency is proffered. Measures have already
been set on foot TO relieve the horrors
of starvation. The power of the Spanish
armies, 1t is asserted, is to be used not
to spread ruin and desolation but to
protect the resumption OF peaceful agri-
cultural pursuits and productive indus
tries
On the Hawaiian Matter.
BY a special message dated the six
teenth day of June last. l laid before
the senate a treaty signed that day by
the Observation-Disclosures of the United States
and of the republic of Hawaii, having for
its purpose the Incorporation of the Ha-
waiian islands as an integral part of the
United States, and under its sovereignty

ton of secrecy. although the treaty Is

union should the fact of annexation be
accomplished, as 1 believe it should be-
! While consistently disavowng from
very early period any progressive policy
Of absorption In regard to the Hawaiian
group. long series of declarations
through three-quarters of century has
proclaimed the vital interest of the Unit
ed States in the independent life of the
islands and their intimate commercial de-
pendence upon this country. At the same
time, 1t has been repeatedly asserted that
in no event could the entity Of Hawaiian
statehood cease by the passage of the
Islands under the domination or influence
OF another power than the United States.
Under these circumstances the logic of
events required that annexation, hereto
fore offered, but declined, should in the
riDeness of time come about as the nat
ural result Of the strengthening ties that
bind us to those islands, and be realized
by the free will of the Hawaiian state
That treaty was unanimously ratified
without amendment by the senate and
president Of the republic of Hawaii on
the 10th Of September last, and only
awaits the favorable action of the AM
erican senate to effect the complete alb
sorption of the islands into the domain
of the United States. What the condi-
tions Of such a union shall be; the po-
litical relation thereof to the United
States; the character of the local ad-
minstraton: the quality and degree of
the elective franchise of the inhabitants;
the extension of the federal laws to the
territory or the enactment of special laws
to fit the peculiar condition thereof; the
regulation, II need be, of the labor sys-
tenn therein, are all matters which the
treaty has wisely relegated to the con-
gress.
Recommends Confirmation.
If the treaty is confirmed, as every con-
sideration of dignity and honor requires,
the wisdom of congress will see to 1t that
avoiding abrupt assimilation of elements
perhaps hardly yet fitted to share in the
highest franchises of citizenship, and hav-
ing due regard to the geographical condi-
tons, the most just provisions for self
rule in local matters with the largest
political liberties as an integral part of
our nation will be accorded to the Ha-
waiians. No less is due to a people who.
after nearly five years of demonstrated
capacity to fulfil the obligations of self
governing statehood come Of their own
free will to merge their destinies in our
body polite.
