not arm them. They have their

HAVANA IS GETTING READY.
Calling All the spaniards to Arms-some
onieials Despondent. Others Hope
full of Success.

New York April S.--A dispatch to
community awaits developments with
stolcal Indifference. Among the OIL
cials. from Blanco down. the feeling Is
one of resignation. They are despe-
rate. but they have done what they
could do to save the remnant Of SPANS
sovereignty in Cuba. They have also
made the best preparations possible for
repulslng hostile attack Some navy
and army officers have real faith in the
extensive system Of land batteries and
in the harbor defenses OF Havana. The
higher officials, however. fear that II
the point OF hostilities is reached and
the landing Of American troops on the
island is desirable for strategic pur-
poses. they will be anded at Aiatanzas
and other PAGES and marched over
land while Havana is blockaded.
The authorities are doing what they
can To increase the number OF troops
available for duty. A decree addressed
to the civil governors calling on them
for a census of all able bodied persons
between the ages of 10 and 80 who are
not already enrolled in the volunteers
and similar organizations, was inter-
preted as call to arms for all Spanish
subjects. A denial was made of this
intention, but the result was the same.
In Havana the mighty drill of new re-
crults among the volunteers is an ex-
hibition to excite pity. Cradles literally
seem to have been emptied In order to
I'LL the ranks, for many Of those
bearing muskets are boys under 10
years.
While the populace thinks itself ready
to defeat hostile force they may trust
still IN the Spanish army. The oquendo.
the Nizcaya and the torpedo flotilln
are on all tongues and all tongues
wag periodically. It is yet delusion
of the Spanish classes that war is not
to he feared because In addition to de-
Tending cuba. the Spanish fleet would
devAstate the Atlantic coast and COM
pei the Yankees to sue for peace.
officials who encouraged this belief
when they We're stirring UP a patriotic
sentiment, are now trying to moderate
II, but without success. An actual
demonstration of American naval SUI
periority is the only thing which will
cure that deluslon. This loyal foollng
had reached such a pitch that IL peace
negotiations on the basis of independ-
ence should finally prevail n serious
problem would be to regulate II with
out causing Il counter revolution. The
authorities believe they can now adj
nit that instead of the insurgents
seeking an armistice. Sagasta has Of
fered It, and they might even propose
n flag of truce. That. too. Is in prog
ress.
A week ago. such suggestion could
not have been made without arousinc
bitter protests. Today II is received
with liberation.
Reports of attempted mediation on
the part of the pope were straw
clutched at eagerly by the officials.
They even credited II to n degree not
warranted by their own knowledge OF
the circumstances. While Madrid may
not he Rble to entertain the Idea, the
representatives OF Spanish authority
on Cuba know how immensely better /,
would he for the peninsula to concedc
Independence through mediation.

An editorial IN a recent issue uf
the Montreal Witness reads No fol
lows!
The annexation Of Hawaii by
the United States seems moro
doubtful ut present than at any
time during the present admins
tration, since IL was announced
that President Mckinley bod
changed his views upon II. and
would recommend the treaty of
annexation TO the approval Of the
Senate. The President was und
erstood at the time Of the election
and long after, to be fully in
accord wi h that resolution
OF the Republican convention
which recommended the 'protec-
ton ratBer than the ANNEXATION
of Hawaii by the United States.
His message to Congress recon
mending annexation was therefore
something of a surprise, ard il
was supposed that his course
ended all doubts no 10 what the
end would be. 1t soon appeared,
however, that the project was less,
instead of more, popular in the
Senate than il had been year
ago. Whether the lepro-y scare
has influenced the Senate, or
whether the influences of the
sugar interests have been too un-
scrupulously used, certain it il
that half the Senate is now oppos-
ed to annexation, and it requires
two-thirds vote to carry. We
are not sorry at all that the in.
trigue between the members of the
Provisional Government Of Ha-
wall and Uni'ed States
minister, with United States naval
power at his back, for the over
throw of friendly government
and the annexation of it to the
United States should fail in part
owing to the reluctance of sue
cessive United States administra
tons and congresses to carry it
through. 1t speaks well for the
democracy of the Unitod States
that the deal has not been carried
through with rush. In the in
terests of the islands themselves.
however, il is to be hoped that
they will be annexed by the Unit
ed States. The Provisional Gov
eminent which now rules, is in
all but name an oligarchy, which
governs fairly we'll and maint,ins
law and order, but if it becomes a
permanent government it will
either become despotic and cor
rupt or it will become divided, and
there will be ascramble for power,
which the Japanese, the Portug
uese and the native Hawaiiaus
will be invited to enter as
allies by one side or other.
and then will follow anarchy.
Much as we sympathize with the
wrongs of the queen and her
dynasty, we do not believe that
the kingdom can ever be set up
again, any more than Humpty
Dumpty. Under the rule of the
United States the Sandwich Isl.
ands would develop rapidly and
prosper, and her people, white
and colored, would enjoy order
and peace. But the United States
has no method or agency under
its constitution for rolling depend
encies; it is a federation of
self-ruling states and territories.
Were the islands annexed and
constituted a territory or state,
doubtless the colored races would
be in practise allowed about the
same share in the government
that they are in the Southern
States. The situation would then
be preferable a great deal to one
which would constantly threaten
anarchy, and there would be the
hope of gradual solution of the
problem in common With the sim.
liar one in the South.

the necessity of man buying ex-
