Hawaiian Annexation Increasing in Popularity

Just now there is not so much going
the rounds of the opposition press
about the "insianificance" of the Ha-
Waiian islands. Instead the editors
who have been Dining all sorts of
alarms in the public ear over the
matter not only have ceased to do So
but several of them are talking a great
deal now about our neral interests in
the Chinese question. and how W.

powers who would build Chinese wall
against our trade with that country.
All this is not accidental. The Ha-
waiian question is just as importalt
today as it was a month ago. more so
in fact. 1t will come up in the Senate
within a few days and ii has already
shown enough strength To warn its OF
ponents that they will do we'll to put
forth their efforts now or never.
The fact seems unquestionahly to he,
the opponents have felt the public
pulse and realize that their doctrine is
not n popular one now that we ar.
shown the greed with which the old
world powers. most of them very hos
tile To American trade and enterprise,
are trying to obtain control of the vast
possibilities which the Orient has 60
offer.
To convince the American people that
now is the time to rcccdc from tn"
virtual occupancy of that valuable Pa
citic outpost. which we have had under
supervision fer nearly half a century
is Il hopeless task and the organ OF

pleasant reflections. To defeat Ha-
Waiian annexation is to play into tn
hands of those who are now striving to
get control of China; to exert our

thing may happen at any moment, and
plans are constantly undergoing

too much that will bear upon the out

tlous diplomacy, action looking to sue

contingency, must all be exercised by
those who are charged with q mighty

every movement, might prove disas-

Winslow was due to Its falling o victim
TO a masked battery, but the little vessel
never fllnched and the men killed and
wounded fell at their posts Of duty.
The fleet that accompanied the boat
IS reported 70 have finally silenced the
Spanish batteries without further dam
age to itself, and there is reaeon to be-
lleye that the Spanish loss was greater
than ours. The Incident will be his

lives have been lost at the hands OF the
enemy since the Maine explosion, and
the first since the war began.
