KAHU VI GUNL
Steamer Well Known Here Wreck
ed ii.
MANY LIVES WERE LOST
Machinery Broke Down-Saillng in
a Heavy Storm in Barclay
Bay-Was a Veteran.

The long, low, whaleback steamer
Cleveland, well known here as the
Kahului, was ashore in Barclay Sound
on the Northern coast when the City
of Peking left San Francisco. The
Cleveland may be saved, but about
eighteen of crew and passengers are
believed to have persisted.
The Cleveland was going north from
San Francisco Her machinery went
wrong and Captain Hall sailed her.
A blow came on and continued for
| several days. The old steamer sailed
well enough for ordinary weather, but
the gale carried her ashore in Barclay
| Sound. 1t has long been the reputation
of this locality that the sea is fiercer
there than at any other place on the
whole of the rough north coast. Capt
Hall was saved. So were number of
others who came off in ships boats and
Indian canoes to call assistance. Leav-
ing the ship was in itself a perilous
task. All of the people were transfer
red to boats safely at various times,
but it is known positively that several
of the boats were lost. There is still
hope that that tidings may yet be had
of some of them. The Indians looted
the ship, going first for the liquor
aboard.
1t was as the Sirius that the Ka-
hului came here for Hawaiian register
and to establish a direct line from
Maui to the coast. Only a couple of
trips were made on the route. There
was not enough business. The Kahului
drifted about awhile as a tramp, then
went to American register and took |
the name Cleveland. She was of iron |
and thirty years old. Every sailor or
landsman who looked at her declared |
she was next thing to coffin, but |
strangely enough the men who sailed |
in her at various times asserted she !
was a good sea boat, comfortable |
and with fair speed. She was rapid
in her day, being of the cigar shape
that at one time led all other types
in pace. The first time the Cleveland
was here she attracted great crowds
to the waterfront
THE whole trouble with the Cleve-
land" said Captain Nelson, in speak
ing of her loss, was that the propeller
got loose on the shaft, and being with
out power to withstand the storm and
not enough sail power, the steamer be-
came helpless. There was no better
steamer on the coast than the Cleve-
land. She was constructed of iron of
strength and thickness and
was a stanch sea-going vessel. When
she was rung on the rocks at Trial
Island, in Haro straits, off Vancouver
Island, by the pilot, while she was
loaded with coal, Captain Tyson, after
200 tons of coal, brought
the vessel to this city with her for
ward compartment full of water and
eight plates damaged and the keel
gone. When the vessel was placed on
the dry dock the iron was found so
tough that the chisels would hardly
cut it and the work of repairing her
was delayed in Consequence"

Refused Duty

There was trouble on the bark Nuu-
anu yesterday afternoon and the result
was that the Captain sent ashore for a
police officer to remove Christensen.
sailor who refused to turn to. 1t
seems that christensen had been on
a spree and was fined in the Police
Court. Upon returning to the ship he
had a dispute with Captain Josselyn
and ended by refusing duty. Officer
Kamaka was sent out and upon arriv-
al at the boat landing with his pris-
oner, the latter was given into the
charge of Harry Evans. Christensen
was locked up for investigation.

strategic point, may be carried toe
far. The opposition newspapers
are now quoting Captain Mahar
against acquisition on the ground
that it means more than anneXa
ton, it means a new policy of vast
Notifications and a vast navy
Mahan says, and he is an enthu
siast in favor of the annexation
of these Islands: "People often
say that such an island or harbor
will give control of such body of
water. 1t is an utter, deplorable,
ruinous mistake" He then shows
how Napoleon lost the islands of
Corfu, and Malta, because they
were not supported by ships.
The inference from this state
ment is, that if Hawaii becomes
an outpost of the United States,
there must be a great navy to pro-
tect the outpost. 1t seems to
many a startling proposition. We
have not the gall to tell the
Statesmen of the United States
what their duties are in regard
to the building of a navy. But it
may be regretted that the "com-
mercial" argument, the needs of
America, in her future commerce
in the Pacific, which call for the
possession of Hawaii should not
have been put in advance of the
strategic" argument.
One of the most influential De
mocratic Senators, who was indif-
ferent about the matter said, last
summer, that the argument for
the future commercial advantages
of America was exceedingly
strong in favor of annexation, but
if it meant great Notifications and
navies, he did not believe that his
own people were ready for such |
radical policy.
1t is, therefore, evident that the
coming debate ON the affair, may
be one of the most serious and
significant discussions that has
ever taken place in Congress. 1t
may not only settle the Hawaiian
question, but be declaration to
the world of the final resolve of
he people of America to push it's
commerce, and the power to pro-
-ect it, far into the Pacific.

saws: "Such civilization as has
{ for so many centuries beer
brought out in Japan is not in ac
cordance with the Divine arrange
ments and the holy appointments
ordained for a redeemed human
ity," and christianity is exclu-
sive, not inclusive" The theologi
ans lock horns. Mr.. Gulick be
lieves in an evolution of human
ity, in which all things work to-
gether for good. DR.. Hyde be-
lieyes that in Japan, at least,
things are not worked out in ac-
cordance with Divine law. That
is to say, that for some reason or
other the Almighty has a limited
influence in Japan.
"To deny that the Creator has
knowledge of, and through his
universal laws, permits and even
directs, the course of every human
event is to deny His presence.
That is atheism" (Junkin).
We quote, but do not endorse
entirely the sentiment.
If any course of human events
proceeds: mot in accordance with
the Divine arrangements" then
how does it proceed? That is an
ancient question. Mr.. Gulick and
the "new school" say all things do
proceed under Divine rule, and so
do the ethical beliefs and aspera-
tons of the Orientals. Even the
Presbyterian missionary, return
ing from China, at the time of the
Chinese Outrages in Denver, eX-
claimed: ''let no one despise the
morals and character of the Chi
nese."
Bancroft, the historian, after a
lifetime spent in the study of hui
man events wrote: "At the foot |
of every page of history it is writ
ten God reigns.'" If our friend
DR.. Hyde is correct, and things in
Japan are not in accordance with
Divine rule, would he declare: "At
the foot of many pages of Japan
csc history it is written God does
not reign?"
The layman, holding as many of
rs do, the greatest respect for DR..
Hyde and his associates. in unset
fish work, still complain and do
so bitterly, that the "ordained"
regulars, soldiers of the
Cross, instead of keeping step to

the community Is that we keep the
question under the tables" More
over, the American Statesman
must settle the question for them
selves. But Is Is now, however
coming 10 the front in Congress.
The Nation quotes from the
| Gazette and then states It's point,
that the United States has hereto
fore only annexed communities
capable of self-government and it
correctly cites the various terri
torial law on the subject of the vet
ing franchise. Then, it says, the
committee Of the Hawaiian Senate
reported that good government
cannot be permanently maintained
in these Islands, without an assist
ance from without" 1t asks how
can you admit Hawaii, if it cannot
govern itself! 1t continues: "The
theory of our Government from
the ordinances of 1877 down, has
been that the expansion of the
United States was to be solely by
the addition of self-governing com
munities to self-governing com
munities.'
The Nation is ignorant of the
political history of its own people.
In the first place they deliberately
struck out self-government by the
negro. Next, in the annexation of
Texas, populated with Mexican
greasers;;" in the annexation of
California, with its entire popula-
ton of 'greasers;;" in the annexa-
ton of the entire Gadsden pur-
chase, with a vast majority of
'greasers;;" in the annexation of
with nine-tenths of its pop |
ulation made up of Indians, they
announced no such principles what
ever. The present exclusion of
New Mexico from Statehood is
lone on the ground of the low char
lcter of the "greaser" population,
out the territory was annexed. So
he Nation plainly contradicts Am
.rican history. The United States
wanted additional territory and
ook 1t, without any discussion of
he principles of self-government.
Perhaps the Nation Is able to point
o some record regarding Alaska,
which viii disclose this principle.
These territories were governed,
lot always wisely or well, until
hey became capable of self-govern-
nent, such as it is.
The Nation hates annexation,
md it offers any reason, good,
'ad and Indifferent, in opposition
o 1t. It proposes to put as many
difficulties in the way of it, as it
an conhive to discover. 1t is the
,pirit of the old darby in Charles
on, who was opposed to paying his
debts, and, when dunned on the
street corner by another old darby
for a debt of 81 replied: Il knows

there Is no reason why the great
Republic cannot find a way to wise

may not be our way, and in the ev-
ent Of annexation, there will be
some bowling about it. But we
shall take the bitter with the sweet.
