dollars of standard fneness, but Of

are entering this country from
abroad, where detection and con-

this kind Of free coinage being about

At Them a gain.

The Hawaiian Minister OF Foreign
Affairs, now visiting this country, is
reported at representing the Ha-
waiian Government to be in
fear OF what the japanese may
do, aud anxious for annexation
to the United States on that
account, The Japanese, Min
lister Cooper says, "outnumber
all other foreigners" in Hawaii, the
American being a "haudful in com
parison," and they "are beginning to
chafe for the right to vote" II they
get it american ascendency will be
at an end forever" Regarding Ha
wall as an independent nation, why
has numerous body OF Foreigners"
any less right to power than a
handful of other foreigners? II
it is a republic, why should for
eigners from japanese chafe for
the same rights that are allowed to
foreigners from the United States ?
What special right has 'handfull'
of Americans to "ascendency" in a
land of freedom, any way 2 If it is
net land of freedom, if it is not a
republic, if the majority is not fit to
rule, if it's larger "foreign elements"
are undesirable for citizenship, and
if il has to be governed by some
kind OF handful OF superior
persons, why should we annex it to
our system, which is founded upon
the Consent of the governed" and
the right of the majority to rule ?
Every advocate of Hawaiian annex
alton seems destined to have the
arguments he presents in its favor
turn upon his very lips into argu-
ments against it. He present reasons
why Hawaii is utterly unfit to be-
come part of the United States
We do not want such a possession.

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 20.-Special to the
Commercial Tribune from Key West
says:
Among the passengers on Tonight S
boat from Havana was Jose Micando,
from the interior. South of Havana. He
reports a fight at Helena Del Sur, III the
southern part of Havana province, two
weeks ago, that the officials in Havana
have not yet reported. A Spanish cayal-
ry force of some six hundred men camp
ing there were surprised by 400 Cubans
under Col. Sanchez one of Alaceo's old
officers The Spanish forces fought
bravely but retreated within half an hour
with twenty men killed. The Cubans
: suffered loss of eight. The Cubans
pursued, but were drawn into ambush
and punished terribly, losing 80 men.
They withdrew and the Spanish troops re-
entered their old camp and began merry
making in honor of the victory. Late
that night the insurgents again attacked
and surprised the camp, forcing their
way to the commanding officers quarters
before their presence was discovered
Then the terror stricken Spanish sol
ediens fled, finging down their weapons.
The insurgents pursued them for miles,

4tured officers were finally released on pa
troll The Cubans Were received by the
people as delivers. After remaining there
two days they moved northward. Three
days after that a Spanish force command
ed by the Guerilla Captain Felix Des
Gratia, marched in.
After securing the Mayor and other Of
fcerS as prisoners he secured the leading
women of the place and then gave the
town over to his soldiers. For the next
"a hours the Spanish Guerillas had their
own way with helpless women and girls.
Seven men and four lads were brutally
killed while attempting to protect their
relatives. Many women died from their
treatment. Two young women killed
themselves rather than submit to the in
suits of the soldiers. The Mayor was
hanged in front of his door, his wife and
daughter being compelled to witness the
execution. The Captain charged that
he gave aid to the rebels. Two of the
other officials were brutally beaten and
then released with caution that the
next visit meant death. The insurgents
have set price upon the head of this
Captain and if caught his trial will be
short.
