From Mrs Bay to Manila.

From Mrs Bay to Manila.
1t would not have been surpris-
ing If the first conflict Of the war
between armed vessels, and also
the first bombardment, had taken
place at the Philippines. Mrs
Bay, which Commodore Dewey
made his final point Of rem
dezvcus before moving upon
Manila, is in Chinese territory, 20
or 80 miles from Hong Kong.
Commodore Dewey has now at
his command the flagship OlYm-
pia, $3.50 tons. the fastest OF our
protected cruisers, next to the
Columbia and Minneapolis,and far
more heavily armored than those
vessels; the Baltimore, 4,4I3 tons;
the Raleigh, S,aI3 tons; the Bos-
ton, 5000 tons; the Concord,
1910 tons; the Petrol, S9a tons,
That means an aggregate OF ten
inch guns. twenty-three o inch,
twenty inch, thirty 6 Founders,
eight pounoers, fifteen I pound
ers, twelve Hotchkiss revolving
cannons, and fourteen Gatlings,
in addition to these is the armed
revenue cutter McCulloch, with
two vessels bought for carrying
coal and other stores.
The Spaniards are believed to
have at Manila or in neighboring
waters the wooden cruiser Cas-
tilla, s,34a tons; the gunboats
Velasco, I,I5a tons; Don Antonia
Ulloa and Don Juan Austria. each
1890 tons; Isls de Cuba and Isla
de Luzon, each 1890 tons, while
several smaller vessels are spoken
Of as there, including the General
Leso and Elcano, 5s4 tons each;
the Marques del Duero, 500 tons,
and the Paragua. A more import
ant vessel than any of these. the
Reina Christina, 3,sso tons, is now
also ascribed to Manila waters.
More or fewer, and with all trans
ports and supply ships thrown in,
Commodore DeweY's feet clearly
outclasses Spain's.
Manila undoubtedly has some
good guns in its forts, but it is be-
lieved that these can easily be
silenced by our vessels. Yet the
problem there differs from that at
Havana, because we have no army
to CO. operate with the ships at
Manila, and it is not proposed to
send any thither. The personel OF
our ships, if the compliments are
what they should be, would reach,
according to recent reports, per-
haps over 2,2oo officers and men.
This would furnish a strong land
ing party Of bluejackets and mar
ines, but the permanent occupation
OF Manila, in view of the number
of Spanish troops in the islands,
is another matter.
On the other hand, a blockade,
in lieu OF a bombardment, would
seem not very promising, for we
shall have no base of operations
there, corresponding to ours al
Key West. 1t is true that the ex-
penditure Of coal in blockading a
single port like Manila need not be
great, but the ships would have to
be constantly under steam, and,
sooner or later, would have to re-
coal.
Meanwhile, there is an oppor-
tunitv for Commodore Dewey's
squadron to attack M lnila, to cap.
ture supplies ol any sort coming tc
it by sea, to reduce and occupy the
forts, to seize coal and provision:
there for maintaining the feet, OF
to cut out and capture the Spanish
vessels that may be found in those
waters. We wish to make Manila
our base. if possible, and at leas
to prevent it from being a Spanish
base for preying on our commerce

BILLS OF lading are usually dull

TOPICS OF The DAY,

We are always told that we are ex-
tremely wrong when we accuse Mr..
Dole aud his government OF nepo-
tism and favoritism. II we could
afford sufficient space, we could
publish numerous instances bearing
out our assertions. Let us enquire,
as an example why it is that one gov
ernmeht official can send in anappli-
cation for lease Of certaingovern-
ment land, aud Immediately have
it put up at auction at his own terms
and place, while another equally
prominent official can apply for a
lease OF a government tract simply
to be put off with frivolous ex-
cuses for seven long months, aud
then have to wait for the Legislature
to bring the matter to focus. If
presidential patronage don't move
the wheels Of the land-office we are
greatly mistaken. Auy "commish"
in it Mr. Riverside?
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-02-07

The first dispatches after his de-
parture told us that Dole is travel
ing cheaply, and that he enjoyed a
free passage from here to San Fran
cisco, and from that city to Wash
ington. As he has been dined and
wined (beg pardon, lemonaded)
since he landed in San Francisco,
the "kickers" hoped that the $4,000
would be returned intact to the
Treasury-if not judiciously invest
ed in the Riverside orange grove.

According to the Evening Bulle-
tin, the "Court organ" OF Mr.. Dole,
the first investment made by the
travelling party has been in cloth

built reception dress and a ball
dress, which are dreams of "duch-
esses," "Imperials," and "Marie An
toinette," words sounding rather
peculiar to our democratic "kiokers."

The manner in which Asiatic
"slaves" are being carried in our
inter-island steamers, should have
the special attention Of the Marshal,

the officers of the society for the
protection of cruelty to "animals."
The Japs recently sent to the other
islands are packed in the steerage OF
the steamers az sardines in a box.
Besides the sufferipgs to the slaves
the steamship companies should
consider the unspeakabe nuisance
to the ordinary passengers who pa
tronizo the boats, and the dangers
which they incur by over-crowding.

city OF steamers as we'll as of tram

The bicycle shops were happy
yesterday, because the authorities
had listened to the wise words OF
TIE INDEPENDENT and allowed them
to keep their shops open and rent
their wheels. While we feel glad
for the stores which benefited by
this action on the part OF the
authorities, we cannot approve Of
the policy of the Marshal. II there
is law in our statutes, which pro-
vides certain regulations for work to
bs done or not done on Sundays, its
provisions whould be carried out
until the law is repealed. Ths
Marshal week ago, claimed that a
certain law prohibited the business
OF the bicycle shops on Sundays,
and he ordered them closed. Yes
terday he adopted a different view
aud construction of the law, and
allowed the shops to keep open.

community want the present OBJ
noxious Sunday laws changed or re-
pealed; not by Marshal Brown, how
ever, but by the Legislature.
