BIG BAYoNETs.
Those Carried by the Regulars Of
Our Army Make q F0rmida-
BILE show.

The bayonet carried by the regulars
is not a thing of beauty in the eyes of
the officers. Bayonets may have a GER
tain moral effect, but their day round
ed into night some time ago. Battles
are not likely to be determined by
them henceforth, but one glance at
the meat-cleaver carried by the United
States regular would convey the i'm
preston that the government hoped
by display of hedge of these terri
flying pig stickers to win bloodless bat
ties by frightening the enemy into ut
ter rout.
They are nearly as large as the
famous sword of Bunker Hill. They are
creased down center like the snick-
ersnees of the piratical old Caribs who
used to loot in these waters. Every
regular is compelled to carry over a
pound of extra weight, for the old
Springfield bayonet is that much
lighter.
1t cannot be used for cutting, it is ne
good for intrenching; who passed
upon it nobody knows, and the only,
persons who ever profited by it's ex-
istence were those who unloaded it on
this country when the British army
flung it aside.
light bayonet that could be put to
some use would be an admira BILE addi-
ton to the soldiers outfit, but unless
it were made to be useful in some way,
il would be far better to take up it's
weight by SO many more rounds of
ammunition.
The sphere of the soldier to-day is to
use his gun as fast and as certain as
possible. His arm being a repeater,
the temptation is to shoot often, and
unless he can carry goodly supply of
ammunition he is very likely, even in
brisk. fight, to Suddenly find himself
without means. of prolonging the bat.

A SERIOUS ILLNESS.
Corporal Prather Fighting for Life
on the Steamer Puebla.

Corporal Prather of Company K,
Fourteenth Infantry, is at deaths door
on the hurricane deck of the City of
Puebla. Spinal meningitis is the
trouble. He was taken suddenly yes
terday afternoon and by 10 o'clock at
night the fever was so high as to have
made death certain in a very short
time. At that hour he was given
an ice cold bath, which reduced his
temperature several degrees. Since
then he has been fed ice constantly.
Prather is a handsome fellow, of
fine physique He was born in Ken
lucky, through his family, which is
an excellent and prominent one, now
resides at Manchester, Ohio. He is
"A years of age. DR.. Kemp had just
pulled Prather through a disorder
when this second ailment came on.
Prather was at the feast on the Exc
cutive grounds, Tuesday, and, it is
said ran away to take a swim at the
boat houses. This was the worst thing
imaginable for him and undoubtedly
brought on the disease with which he
is now suffering.
When discovered by the surgeons
the sick man was on the hurricane
deck in a very low condition. Two
ladies of the Red Cross Society had
found him and Immediately sum
mOned medical aid. He was then too
low to be moved to a hospital.
Prater has been told that he has but
a fighting chance Early this morning
he told the chaplain of the vessel that
he would certainly recover. His grit
and ability to recover from the col
Iapses which frequently come, have in
spired the attending surgeons with
more than usual hope.

Honolulu, 26th July. 1898.

Honolulu, Goth July 1898
Sir have the honor to acknowi-
edge the receipt of your letter of the
instant.
The matter of effecting a settlement
of the pending controversy between
Hawaii and Japan which arose through
the action of this Government in re-
fusing to allow certain Japanese sub
jects to land in this country, has had
the serious consideration of the Ex-
ecutive Council.
In view of the urgent request made
in your letter and actuated by a sin
cere desire to comply with the wishes
Of the Government Of the United States
in the matter it has been decided to-
accept the offer of the Japanese Gov
ernment to compromise by the pay
ment of seventy-five thousand dollars.
The Council of State at it's meeting
tomorrow will be requested to appro-
pirate the money for that purpose
Allow me to say, however, in clos
ing that it is not without regret that
my Government finds itself in this po-
sitton, believing that the action of re-
fusing admission to the japanese sub
jects was matter Of political and
economic necessity, authorized by our
laws, which have been carefully and
correctly administered and for which,
under ordinary circumstances, no
compensation is due to Japan, payment
being made by this Government solely
at the instance of the Government
you represent
l have the honor to be- Sir, Your
most obedient servant.

Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Honolulu.
Mr.. Smith MADE a clear explanation
Of the case. The Attorney General
spoke of the convention of 1886 be-
tween this country and Japan and said
that so long as its provisions were re-
garded and adhered to, everything had
been satisfactory TO both parties. The
agreement had been that the number
of Japanese to come to the Islands
should be regulated by this Govern
ment. The immigration companies
had intervened and had endeavored to
flood the country to their own profit.
Then the law was enforced and the
flow became normal again. The Su-
preme Court here had passed upon the
question. Not only from this source.

to his going, and added that if it were
not for his own rheumatism he would
tilt it out with the boys" too. Young
Hassinger is an Island boy in every
sense of the word. He is a splendid
horseman and quite an athlete. Yes
terday afternoon he was around town
in his new American dress.

Has the Decoration.

1t is learned that Rev. DR.. NJ. c.
Harris, the Methodist missionary to
Japanese, has already received his dec
oration from the Mikado in apprecia-
ton of his work. The honor was be-
slowed just before Dr. Harris left Jap
an two weeks ago. 1t is decoration
of the fourth class, and is given to
men for distinguished religious or edu-
catfonaI services. Minister Shimamura,
the late representative of Japan here,
wears a decoration in the same class.

Third officer Spiers of the Puebla
came near meeting his death while the
steamer was being moved from the
Oceanic to Brewers wharf yesterday
morning. He was experimenting the
lifting of an anchor when one OF the
ropes parted and struck him around
the body. The fall upon the deck was
a hard one and the wonder is that he
was not fatally injured. A few bruises
constituted the damage.

Honolulu, II. l., July 26th, 1898.
Honorable Henry r. Cooper, Minister
of Foreign Affairs, Honolulu.
Sir:-I have the honor TO inform
you that l have received instructions
from my Government expressing anx-
iety TO secure an immediate solution
of the question at issue between Ha-
waii and Japan whereby the approach
ing transfer of Hawaiian territory
would be freed from any ultimate Ques-
tions tending to embarass it in its
dealings with a third power.
The instructions assume that to this
end and as the only means OF accom-
plishing ii, your Government will close
the incident by the payment to Japan
Of a reasonable indemnity.
1t is not to be understood that this
course of action is urged by the Gov
ernment of the United States on any
other grounds than as a necessary
preliminary to the formal transfer of
sovereignty which is now awaited.
The instructions make it clear that
until this action is taken by Hawaii
a serious obstacle will exist to the ex-
Admiral Miller may bring to me at
any time. | do not need to point out
to you how unfortunate from every
point of view would be further delay in
effecting the consummation which
both our Governments so earnestly
wish.
My instructions are imperative to
do all | can TO bring about as speedily
as possible this desired adjustment
Under all the circumstances, and
having regard to common interests /
venture to express the hope that you
will lose no time in securing the COM
pliance of the Hawaiian Executive
with the views of the Government at
Washington.
l have the honor to be, Sir, Your
Obedient servant,
