SOME CONFUSION.

Ii the interview with Col. Soper pub
lished in the New York Herald is cor
rect, it indicates emphatically the di-
vergent views of men here in the mat
ter of local government. Col. Soper
apparently assumes to speak for the
community at large. In declaring that:
I'VE would prefer a government sim
liar to that of the District of Column
bia" he indicates that there are set
tied convictions here on the subject.
He is hardly justified in this view of
present situation.
The Committee of the A T. p
asks for a government with a liberal
suffrage" The Hilo Chamber Of Com
merce, however, desires property
qualification for the suffrage. One body
Of men represented by an organ that
processes to strictly follow the Repub-
lican party, demands manhood suf

graves that are yaWning for those who

ested citizens, and those who are stud
ents of the situation, would like to
know where he stands on vital ques-
tons. The practice Of adopting a
platform, and nominating candidate

the country. To nominate candidate
first and then leave him like toy bal
loon floating in the air, without any
anchorage, is unprecedented.

field, just as Alice would have done it
in Wonderland. The eye of this gem

the creation of the Almighty, knew no
country, no flag. When they were
asked if they could put up with bad
water, and poor food, in the interests
of humanity, and for the glory of the
nation, they simply refused and have
had their own way.
The lessons of the Civil war were
lost, within thirty-five years after it
closed. They are now being re-learned
with sacrifice and suffering here and
elsewhere
The volunteers are abundantly pat
riotic, but they are now the mission
aries who will preach business-like
methods if there is to be expansion
and more war.
Fortunately, even on land, the war
with Spain has been only a walk
over" Even the assault at San Juan
would have been unnecessary, if time
had been taken to bring up the seige
guns. Fortunately this lesson has been
learned in a contest with the poorest
nation of Europe.

ONE LESSON OF THE WAR.

On asking an intelligent non-com-
missioned officer, several days ago,
how many of the volunteers would
have enlisted with their present knowl-
edge of military life, he replied that he
was confident that not five per cent of
them would have enlisted An officer
of the Regulars stated recently in this
town that he had been one of the mil
itary instructors of over six hundred
young men in one of the western
States; that upon graduation each one
of these young men was capable, SO far
as training was concerned, to'c0mmand
a company and was familiar with the
needs of men in a campaign. He de-
clared that in spite of the absolute
need Of competent officers in the sew
eral hundred regiments suddenly called
into the field, these men were ignored,
and preference given to men who
either had a personal Influence or
political pull Several of these trained
men received commissions, but the ma
iority Of them who desired to enlist,
preferred Joining the Regulars as
common soldiers, because in this
branch of the service the officers were
competent to take care of the men.
The comment on this condition of
things is, The war is teaching us what
to do So did the great Civil war
teach us what to do. 1t taught half a
million of men what the art of war is.
1t taught them how to obtain and cook
food how to observe sanitary regula-
tions; that the average man is, after
all, delicate creature, and that the
percentage of physically sound men is
very low; that the serious dangers
come, not from the bullet, but from the
cess pool; that a rainstorm disabled
more men than battle; that bad
water killed more men than artillery.
All these valuable lessons were learned
in 1865, and organizations which
learned them were then disbanded.
When an army was needed for the
Spanish war, one would suppose that
a nation, with its business-like meth
ODDS of reaching results, would have
called upon the experience of these
veterans, who could furnish officers for
an army of 3O0,O 900 men and their ser
vices on the instant demanded.
But here is the lesson out of his
tory: The men of the present genera
ton were born after these valuable
and costly experiences had been OBJ
tanned. The Civil war was to them a
legend and not reality. The litera-
ture of the period, subsequent to that
war, was one of battlefields and heroic
charges. This generation could not
listen to the literature of preparation
for war, Of the vital and homely sub
jects which covered pots and kettles,
and blankets, and wholesome food, and
canitary provisions. This generation

necessary methods Of protecting life
in warfare, make up and control the

The Coolies having found that nobody

appears in another column, to raise a
sum by national subscription which is
to be expended in building a battle
ship to replace the Maine, or if the
amount contributed is not Efficient, to
present the contribution to the United
States Government as donation that
shall stand as a tribute of love on the

rapid changes in the construction OF
warships, any battleship may soon be
out of date. The alternative of hand
ing over lot of money to the Govern
ment as a tribute of love, and as a ma
tional monument TO the memory of the
sailors of the Maine is a crude and
foolish proposition. No suggestion is
made as to the use that shall be made
of the money. The language of the
address would simply cover the sum
into the Treasury and leave it there.
Until a more acceptable proposition is
made, it is not advisable to respond to
this circular address.

COURT OF INQUIRY.
What Has the Court FoundP Is the
Top Question.

Key West, Fla, Feb. 2S.-The United
States court of inquiry into the loss of
the battleship Maine in the harbor of
Havana, Feb. Is, began it's sessions here
this morning. The officers and civilians
here who believed the reports from
Havana saying that the court had al
ready decided that the loss of the Maine
was due TO treachery have apparently
changed their minds, for today the
question is. What has the court
found p" while yesterday the one heard
all around was, When will war be de-
clared?"

men realized for the first time how un-
likely il will be for the court to allow
any inkling of its conclusions to be
known out of due season.
The court opened shortly after 10
O'Clock. Lieutenant Blandin was the
first witness. Testimony will be taken
according to it's relative Importance.
and not according to the rank of the
witness.
Lieutenant Blandin was before the
court for about an hour. The naval
officers sat in Judge Locke's private
chambers. No marines were on guard,
but all the doors were closed.
The officers of the Maine louoged
around the court room until summoned
to give testimony. Those who were
called before the luncheon recess were
Lieutenants Blandin, Hood, Jungen and
Blow, and Cadets Bronson and Boyd.
No enlisted men were examined at the
morning session. Lieutenant Com
mander Mark, who received the list of
witnesses, said the inquiry was pro-
crossing well.
The court of inquiry reconvened at 2
o'clock this afternoon. Lieutenant Hol-
man, who testified at Havana. was
again called. Lieutenant of Marines
Catlin gave his evidence, and was fol-
lowed by Boatswain Larkin. Gunner
Hill and Carpenter Holmes. The two
latter were on shore at the time of the
explosion and could tell little of value.
At $40 the court adjourned until to-
morrow.
Judge Advocate Mark said: "The

SPANISH CoRTES.
Elections Will Determine If Spain
Wants War Or Peace.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The state de-
partment received the following dis
patch from Minister Woodford at Ma
drid:
Decree dissolving Spanish cortes
Feb. 26. New cortes will meet April
26."
The dissolution of the cortes had been
expected, and it may be attended with
important results. The two parties,
Liberal and Conservative, will now ap-
peal to the cortes. The Sagasta min
istry now in power is Liberal. The pol
icy being pursued by General Blanco
in Cuba is an entire reversal OF that
under the Conservative regime of Ca
novas and his successor, and 1t is felt
that the continuance of this policy is
no less at stake than the ministry it
self in the outcome of the present cleo
tons.
Senior Du Bose, the Spanish charge
d'affaires, himself a Liberal and a
warm supporter of the Sagasta minis
try, says there is no doubt the result of
the election will be the return of a Lib
eral majority in the cortes. and will
continue the present authorities in
power. He says there is no significance
in the dissolution at this time. In other
quarters it is felt that the Conserva-
tives may take this opportunity to re-
gain the reins of government by max
ing a campaign against the Cuban poll
cy of the Segasta regime. II is expect
ed that theWeylerites will cast their in
fiuence with the Conservatives, who
sent General Weyler to Havana, also
making their appearance as d distinct
political organization. To a consider
able extent, the contest viii be between
the war element and the peace element,
and as the Liberal programme thus
far has been the most pacific in char
acter, it is anticipated that the Liberal
party will grin the peace vote.
Elections Will not only be held in
Spain, but also in Cuba and Puerto
Rico. This, however should not be
COMPOUNDED with the local elections of
Cuba, under the plan of autonomy.
The new cortes win meet Immediate
" after the election, probably May l.
While no date has been fixed, it is
known in advance that the new body
must be completed by July 1. This Will
give brief time for completing the ex-
tensive supply bills within the time
prescribed by Spanish law. With a
Liberal majority, however, this can be
readily accomplished. The possibili-
ties of delay lies in the fact that Con-
servative victory viii not only give
that party control of the cortes, but
will precipitate another ministerial
