BARGAINS" IN BOOKS.-The last on
slaught of the department store is upon the
genuine book store. 1t has demoralized
the book trade and debauched the reading
public. At least this is the complaint of
tn average bookseller. We copy the clos
ing portions OF a very thoughtful article
on this subject in The Dial:
"The modern book-buyng public is TO a
considerable extent new public, created
by the department store and the bargain
counter. 1t would never have found its way
at all into the real book store, and its ac-
questions in the way of literature are made
in delightful ignorance of the commodit,
which it is buying. 1t will proudly bear

not books in any real sense of the term.

works" Of Goethe do not exist in the
English language. To the book lover, on
the other hand, and to the book buyer of
the old-fashoned sort, these things and
the marts in which they are dispensed by
| unlettered counter jumpers are an

ference between books made to read and

that the cut prices of books in the dry
goods stores are not with an occasional
exception cut so very much after all, and
that in such stores the books that the
serious reader really wants are never by
any possibility to be found
"The book store, then, may be said still
to retain the greater part of its old Glen
tele, but the fact remains that it ought to
attract the new class of book buyers also
yet that somehow it docs not attract then,

ARE THEY MOBILIZING 2

Torpedo FIOtIlla Arrives in Porto
Rico-Vizcaya and Oquendo Sail.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Mad
rid dispatch announcing the arrival of
the Spanish torpedo flotilla at Porto
Rico was quite unexpected at Washing
ton, and created considerable comment
in navy circles. So far as could be
learned, no information on this point
has been received by either the State
of Navy Departments. The arrival of
the f1otiIIa surpasses all forecasts as to
the time necessary to make the trip,
and indicates that a high rate of speed
was maintained across the ocean. Pres
ident Mckinley manifested much inter
est in the dispatch from Madrid that
the Spanish f1otilla arrived at Porto
Rico.
The Navy Department received infor-
nation today that the cruisers Vizcaya
and Oquendo, the two fine cruisers
which have been lying at Havana, have
left that port. Their destination is not
known, but there is reason to believe
they have gone to join the torepdo
flotilla.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-04-11

The Liberal. Sagasta's organ, says:
should President Mckinley agree to
it, the danger which threatents peace
will cease, and the tension between the
two countries will cease. Should he not
agree, we accept with a tranquil con-
science the trials which are in store
in defense of our honor and our
rights"
On Tuesday last General Woodford
applied through the Minister for For
eign Affairs, for conference with Pre-
mier Sagasta, asking Senors Gullon
and Moret to be present.
General Woodford pursued his course
in the cause of peace by suggesting
that an armistice be announced by the
Spanish Government, he undertaking
that the United States would obtain
the acceptance of the same by the in
surgents.
A semi-official statement has been is
sued which says: "One of the most
immoral devices which is being en-
plOyed at the present moment to injure
Spain and mislead opinion in the
United States is that OF supposing
Spain would be disposed to recognize
the independence of Cuba in return for
the payment of indemnity Already, on
the basis of jingoist fancies, the people
have been led to believe that President
Mckinley based his proposals on this
idea. This impression has been utiliz-
ed in Wall street by various means to
attract speculators into jingo circles
and to compel them unconsciously to
aid in spreading uneasiness."

The exercises yesterday, in the Ka-
waiahao Church, were unusually inter
esting. The pupils of the KawaiahaO
seminary took a prominent part in
them. The platform was neatly deco
rated with flowers. A cross arose out
of them. + body of children stood upon
the platform. All held wreaths of
flowers. Each gave a short recitation,
and then placed a wreath upon the
cross. The girl who offered the first
recitation, stepped to the cross, and
removing from it a crown Of thorns,
replaced it with a wreath Of flowers.
At the close of the recitation, the
group of children marched slowly
around the cross and cast loose flowers
around it's base. The scene was touch
ing and dramatic. The sermon was by
Rev. H. H. Parker.

PROPOsIEION OF AMERICA.
Immediate Cessation of HostiIitIes
and Cuba's Independence.

Immediate Cessation of HostiIitIes
and Cuba's Independence.
dispatch from Washington to the
Chronicle states: THE propositions
submitted by this country contemplate
a complete and immediate cessation OF
hostilities in Cuba, the return Of the
reconcentrados to their usual avoca-
tions and the independence of Cuba,
this last feature to be secured prob
ably on an indemnity basis by which
the island would pay substantial sum
for it's freedom from Spanish rule.
These propositions take wide scope
and there are many details in the alter
native propositions, the purpose being
to present every possible plan promis-
ing a solution of the Cuban problem so
long as an end of the Cuban war and
Cuban independence were embodied in
the ultimate result.
1T has been made perfectly clear to

MADRID, March 3O.-EI Pals says
four warships have been obtained by
Spain in France and that negotiations
are pending for the purchase of several
torpedo boats in Great Britain. Ell
Pals also says orders have been issued
to mobilize all the Spanish warships
and that the torpedo boat Elcon is to
sail Immediately from Cartagena for
Cadiz, where a second torpedo squad
ron is being prepared. Military en-
gineers are starting for the Canary
Islands and the Balearic Islands are
being fortified.
Italy, it is said by Ell Pals, has de-
cided to sell the armored cruiser Gui-
seppe Garibaldi, of 6,840 tons, and we'll
armored, a sister ship of the Varez, to
Spain. Two regiments still, according
to Ell Pals, are going to the Canary
Islands to strengthen the Spnish gar
rison there.

Spain Said to Have Made Con-
cGsSiOnS to United States.
BOTH STILL PREPARE FOR WAR
Spanish Flotilla Arrives and De-
partment at Washington
is DiSturbed.H

MADRID, April 1.-The opinion is
expressed from an authoritive source
that an agreement between the Gov
ernment of Spain and the United States
will be reached, including the Maine
and recOncentrado questions. 1t is
added that this also means the arriv-
ing at permanent peace solution. 1t
e also said that the CUBAN Government
and Captain BIanco are in accord with
the Peninsular Government to assist in
this work for peace.
But inquiries made last evening of
United States Minister Woodford failed
to secure anything confirming the op-
timistic impression prevailing here He
has so earnestly been the friend of
| peace throughout that his silence
causes some anxiety in diplomatic
circles.
After a conference of three Spanish
Minister and General Woodford which
lasted about an hour, last night, one of
the members of the Cabinet said, smil-
ing: 'I firmly believe that peace is as
sured. Spain, in note drawn up per-
sonally by Senor Sagasta, has made
enormous concessions in the hope of
assuring peace. She has given way in
every possible manner, only drawing
the line where her dignity as a nation
has been violated. We are sure the
President of the United States, with
his fairness of mind, will see how anxi-
Gus we are for peace. On all points we
agreed with the propositions of the
United States, but it is a question of
how they should be applied"
The most important comment on the
situation this afternoon is that of the
Ministerial journal, Ell Liberal, which
may be looked upon as undoubtedly
rejecting the position of the Spanish
Government. The paper says: eve nave
done all we can to remove a pretext for
rupture. If President Mckinley re-
fuses our concessions we, with quiet
conscience, will await any trials which
may come and defend our honor and
our rights. The entire nation supports
the Government Spain must no longer
live under the continual menace and
unrest of the past three years. There
must be no more debating or haggling.
Even rupture is preferred. Interven-
ton is de facto even now. We desire
and appeal for peace, but the limit of
our long suffering is at an end. We
will defend our rights with our tradi-
tional tenacity and bravery"

CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

While not observing the day specially
tian Church were yet appropriate to the
occasion Delicate floral decorations
in which lilies and white roses predo-
minated were so deftly arranged as to
transform the region of the pulpit into
a bower of beauty. The morning SER
mon by Rev T. D. Garvin was an elo-
quent and instructive discourse on the
Resurrection. 1t was in his view the
central truth Of the Christian system
eliminate it as the basis of the Christian
faith and the religion of Jesus would
fail. His resurrection from the dead
was as we'll attested as any fact of
history sacred or profane. The con-
gregations at both morning and even
ing services were very large.

Easter exercises We're held at the
Portuguese Sunday School, corner of
Miller and Punchbowl streets. At half
past two nearly three hundred happy
children. with their earnest teachers
and interested friends, gathered in
the spacious rooms Of the Church,
which were prettily decorated with
palms, ferns and Easter lilies, while
a drapery of passion vine emboWered
one of the entrances. AT the rear of
the pulpit was suspended the motto
"Jesu ResuscitOu Alleluia" The pro-
gram which consisted of twenty
seven numbers was rendered partly in
Portuguese and partly in English.
Space forbids mention of all the
which were rendered to the
pleasure of the hearers and the credit
Of the participants. The songs, recita-
tions and kindergarten exercises, show
ed the results of much careful work
by the officers and teachers Of the
school, who to have been so successful
must have had the cordial cO-orpera-
ton Of parents as well.
The average attendance of this
school was 175 last quarter while the
mission branch in KakaakO has also
a goodly attendance and assisted in
the exercises OF yesterday by a recita-
ton.
