WAR on pEAcE

Throughout the day the white House
presented an animated appearance. sena-
tors and representatives from both po-
litical parties calling TO confer with the
president. The president said 10 several
Of his visitors today. In discussing the
situation, that he would do everything
consistent with the honor and dignity OF
the country 20 avert war and that he
still believed war could be- averted. He
also said that he believed the government
of Spain was as anxious for peace as we
we're. but az the same time he did not
hesitate 10 admit the gravity Of the sittl-
alton. The president frankly acknowI-
edged that he believes the report OF the
board Of inquiry will find that the Maine
was blown up from the outside.
His program has been definitely decided
upon. II + his purpose to treat the blow
Ing up of the Maine as an incident. The
report of the board Will be sent to con-
sress Monday. A very BRIEF message re-

point and informing congress that the
facts contained IN the report nave been
eabled to Madrid 10 be laid before the
Spanish government by Minister wood

be made upon Spain but the laying Of the
facts before the Spanish government will

an explanation and such action as she

NEW COMET.

San Jose, CAL, March A-The comet
that was discovered last Sunday morning
by Assistant Astronomer Perrine of Lick
Observatory is now just visible TO the
naked eye by reason of its distinct cellar
nucleus and tail and 1t is an object for a
small telescope, II is situated in the
northern constellation of Pegasus and is
moving northward and eastward some
what more than a degree day. The ele-
ments of its orbit have been computed by
Professors Hussey and Perrine. They
think that the comet passed perihllion
on the 18th of March at a distance OF a
little more than lOO0Os,O00 miles from the
sun and that 1t is now about the same
distance from the earth.

Patriots spurn Bribes.

Spain will not triumph in Cuba by the
means by which she regained her author
ity in the Philippine Islands, namely, brib-
cry. Gen. Blanco has made extraordinary
efforts to bride the Cuban generals to leave
the island. He offered to provide a steamer
to transport Gen. Gomez and his family 10
any port to which he might desire to go.
and to give him a sum of money sufficient
for the support of himself and family for
the remainder of their lives. The reply of
Gen. Gomez was a dignihed refusal, con-
veyed in language calculated to bring a
blush of shame to the cheek of Gen.
Blanco.
The insurgents cannot be reached by
brides. The Spaniards will not be able to
re-establish their authority in Cuba until
they have conquered the insurgents, and
they must make better progress towards
accomplishing that object than they have
yet made. Spain is steadily growing weak
er and the United States are getting tired
of keeping a watch upon their people to
prevent them from fitting out flibustering
expeditions and sending arms and ammu-
milton to the insurgents.
but the insurgents snow no signs Of
weakening. Gen Gomez claims that they
are as strong now as they were when the
instruction began. Their ranks are kept
full, and they have ample supplies of arms
and ammunition.
How long will 1t be before the end will
be reached? No one can say with any de-
gree of certainty, but unless the insurrec-
ton is put down within a few months, the
United States will probably take decisive
step towards bringing about peace. They
have already lost a vast amount of trade
besides being put to great expense to pre-
vent the departure from their shores of
vessels hostile to Spain. They will not con-
tinue very much longer to submit to the
present condition of affairs
Gen. Blanco would never have attempted
to bride Gen. Gomez and other insurgent
generals il he had not felt that Spain must
do something at once to restore her au-
thority in Cuba or give up the island in
the very near future. 1t looks now as if
she would have to give up the island. Even
her scheme of autonomy does not afford
her any comfort; it is practically a fail

The Drainage aue.tion.

The statement made in the Morning
News yesterday that the grand jury OF
the Superior Court is giving special atten
ton 10 the drainage OF the wet lands and
swamps in the immediate vicinity Of the
city must be gratifying to all citizens who
understand how important drainage is 10
the city. BY continually referring 90 this
subject a public sentiment may finally be
created which will compel the County
Commissioners TO give that attention TO
drainage which is needed for The protec-
ton OF the city against fevers.
That the Morning News in urging the
necessity for drainage. has but one pur-
pose in view-the public wefare-is ap-
parent from the report Of Health Oficer
LeHardy and the statement of the Mayor
as TO the necessity for drainage on the
outskirts of the city The Health officer
points out that in the early fall the fevers
are particularly prevalent in those sec,
tons Of the city most exposed TO the low
lands and swamps. which are only partly
drained or not drained at all How many
deaths are caused annually by the poison
from these undrained lowlands and
SndAiipS tueLe IS no Way OF unQluS Out,
but it is safe TO say that the number is
quite large. IL is difficult to understand
why the commissioners neglect the drain
age of these lands and swamps when they
have the statement of the Health Ofl-
Ger showing their injurious influence on
the city's health.
The Mayor in his message. called at
tention TO the fact that we are having an
unusually dry winter Therefore, We may
reasonably expect a wet spring 1t is not
difficult TO foresee what the effect upon
the health Of the city would be if the out
skirts Of the city should remain undrained
and we should have long continued rains in
the late spring and early summer, to-
gether with high temperature.
We dislike TO refer to this subject 50
frequently, but it is of such great i'm
portance-greater than any other so far
as the citys welfare is concerned-that
we feel it to be our duty to make tn.
people realize. if we can, the risk they
are running in permitting the drainage
of the city's outskirts to be neglected. If
they fail to require their public servants
to provide for their protection, when such
protection is obtainable, they will have
only themselves TO blame if disease ana
disaster should come.

The Man Who Won.

Mrs. Trelawney," said Francis Walhng-
ford, there is something that have for
a long time wished TO say to you"
The president of the society for the
Squelching of Husbands looked over her
glasses and frowned, says the Cleveland
Leader. She evidently knew what was COM
ing, but after a moments silence she said
in her most impressive platform tones:
We'll, go on. What is it?"
Il love your daughter, Miss Gladys. /
have reason.to believe that she returns my
passion, and / want to ask you to give her
into my keeping"
Mrs. Trelawnevs features hardened, and
there was a cold. metallic ring in her voice
as she answered:
What recommendation have you to Of
fer for yourself? How can you convince
me that you will always love herLthat YOU
will always think her beautiful2"
''She looks like her mother" said Fran
els Wallingford. THAT, is enough to con-
vince me that her beauty will not diminish

Public sentiment and Hawaii.

Are the people OF this country in favor
OF annexing Hawai2 That is question
which cannot be answered 10 the salts
faction Of everybody. It has never been
submitted 10 the people. Some OF the
senators who are urging annexation an
swer the question in the affirmative. but
Il IS apparent that they have no authori-
II Tor doing So
ny should the Senate undertake TO act
for the people in 50 important a matter
without finding out the sentiments of
the people2 The Senate, OF course has
the right to ratify or reject a treaty. but
IL would seem as If the people ought to
be consulted il this Hawaiian matter be-
cause the ratification of the Hawaiian
treaty means something more than the
annexation Of the Hawaiian Islands. 1t
means the entering upon a policy wholly
al variance with the teachings of the
founders of the republic-a policy that
is out OF harmony with the spirit Of our
institutions. While il is true that we
have acquired territory heretofore, we
have acquired only that which was ada
cent TO US, and out of which new states
spects populations like our own. From
this statement we. of course, except Alas
ka but that territory was purchased not
for the purpose of acquiring territory but
for diplomatic reasons.
In view Of the fact that the acquiring
of Hawaii means a radical change of
Polcy-tbe acquiring of territory far dis
tant from our shores-and makes a prece-
dent for the acquiring of other territory
by conquest or otherwise. the people ought
TO be consulted before any definite ac-
ton is taken. They may not have given
the matter much thought as yet. and the
Senate hasn't given them much encour-
agement to think about it, because the
treaty has been discussed with closed
doors, but If it were made an issue they
would speedily inform themselves in re-
gard to IT,
There is another thing the Senate. in
considering the treaty should not over
look. II is that in annexing Hawaii with
out the consent of the Hawaiians a fun
damental principal of the republic would
be ignored-the principal that govern
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed" To this prin-
cipal Prof Hoist of the Chicago Unlver-
sity recently called attention in discuss
ing the Hawaiian treaty. It is well r,--
derstood that the Hawaiians are against
annexation. How then can the United
States consistently ratify the Hawaiian
treaty?
In this treaty question much more is
involved than simply annexing the Haw-
allan Islands.

He COO DIS Wooden Lee Rack.

The manager of a shop in Lewes stood
in the doorway the other days, says An
swers, when a man with a wooden leg
and crutch came along and said:
Il want you to do me a favor. I want
to leave my leg with you for a few min
utes and go round to the next street and
work a house for half a crown. I've an
idea that the folks. are very sympa thetic.
If l go with one leg I'm sure of IT,
VERY we'll" said the shopkeeper; Just
leave your leg here and I'll take care of
it,"
The wooden substitute was unstrapped
and banded over, and the cripple used the
crutch to help himself down the alley.
Five minutes later he rang the door bell
of a house in the next street, to have it
opened by the man he had just seen.
Wh-wha-whatr' he gasped,
Very sympathetic family lives here"
quietly replied the other. You seem to
have met with a sad loss, and I'm anxious
to help you. Here is a wooden leg which
may fit you"
The leg was handed over. The man sat
down on the steps and strapped it on, ard
as he got UP and stumped through the
gate he said to himself:
I've heard of condolences ever since
was a youngster but this Is the first one
that ever hit me with both feet at once!'
