FAR NEWS ABOUT HAWAII.
WAR POLICY KINDLY PREPARED
FOR Us.
Plans for the Government Considerate-
ly Laid Out for 1t Without Its
Knowing Anything About Them.

Washington dispatch i'm the San
Francisco Chronicle of April 4th CON
tains the following:
For several weeks there has been
a report here that the Dole Govern
ment had filled the Government coal
bunl>erS at Honolulu. with 10000 tons
of fuel. which was being held for use
should the United States ships need
il. When these reports were first
about there was seemed slight proba-
bility that hostilities would result
from the differences over Cuba. Now
that the situation is critical. the sig
nificance of this position of the Ha-
waiian Government is greater than at
first appeared. Honolulu would be
the natural base of operations for the
Asiatic squadron. and owing to the
small size of ~paiu'S fleet i'm the IA
ctic little danger OF = descent upon
the supplies there is feared. and no
increase in the feet usually kept at
the Islands is considered necessary to
stand off priyateers.
Another report has been received
here to the effect that President Dole
has formally rendered the resources
of the Hawaiian Republic to the Unit
ed States as an ally. Members of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
said tonight that they would not fa-
vor the acceptance of such an offer.
as it would necessitate the defense of
the Islands as an ally. while Offering
no compensating advantage in the ac-
QUESTION of territory or permanent
advantages"
Minister of Foreign Affairs Cooper
said this morning that there was no
truth in any of these statements. The
only coal the government has is what
is needed for the government tug and
other purposes. 1t has none else and
none of the other suggestions in the
dispatch have any foundation in fact.

0NE TELLS ANOTHER.

And so the news spreads
and spreads. Housekeepers all
around are talking of the fine
quality Of goods bought at our
grocery department. AS the
news spreads, SO our groceries
spread all over the city, from
Waikiki to Palama; from the
wharf to way up the valley.
There is only one conclusion
to be drawn, and that is that
the quality of goods must be
right-not only that, but the
prices are right, the attention
is right, and the goods are in
the right condition.
Every one knows of the Americ-
an Biscuit Company and the class
of goods they make. The follow
ing are few Of the many styles of
crackers that we carry: Graham

In buying these goods you can
not be too careful; many people have
experienced rather disastrous re-
suits from buying cheap trash, put

brands we carry. In the Cooking
Fruits, we have a full assortment in

a larger amount is required. The

H0BSOH'S EXPLOIT PRAISED
ENGLISHMEN SAY 1T FINISHES
THE NAVAL WAR.
America Urged to Seize the Philip
pines and Porto Rico-Spain Not
Ready For Peace.

London, June 6.-Every evening pa
per of this city echoes the morning
newspapers praise of Lieutenant Hob
sons exploit with the collier Merrimac
at Santiago de Cuba, which, they say,
was a gallant deed, ably planned and
pluckily carried out
The Pail Mall Gazette says: THE
heroism of these men and the courteous
chivalry of Admiral Cervera will not
be forgotten in a hurry" Continuing,
the Pail Mall Gazette says it thinks
that as a result of the Merrimac expe-
dition. the war between Spain and the
United States is practically finished,
and the paper adds: Had the Cadiz
squadron meant business it would not
have dallied until Admiral Cervera's
fleet had been rendered useless
The Gazette concludes by comment
ing on the probable military operations,
saying: TT will pay America to Sc
cure both Porto Rico and the Philip
pines before peace is discussed. For
peace on the only possible terms Spain
is not ready. The government dare not
face the music. To surrender now
would produce a revolution at home,
hence it is preposterous to talk Of the
basis of the status QUO ante bellum.
Peace, when it comes, will have a very
different basis, and the seizure of the
Philippines and Porto Rico will place
America in a position to dictate the
only terms she could possibly accept"
The Westminster Gazette, referring
to Admiral Cervera's action in connec-
ton with the capture of the Merrimac's
crew, says: ut is an incident which
ennobles war and surely helps in Sc
curing honorable peace. The United
States MAJ well be generous to such
conduct"

STRUCK BY AN ENGINE,
HARRY ROCKWELL INJURED ON
THE r. G. w. TRACK.
Had Apparently Been Drinking and
Did Not Get Out of the Way-His
Injuries Are Serious.

Yesterday afternoon Harry Rockwell
was brought to the Rio Crande Western
depot in an unconscious condition, and
covered with blood. From the account
given of the affair, it would seem that
Rockwell had been drinking, and sat
down on the end of a railroad tie on
the Westerns track, near Sixth West
and Fifth North streets. a Rio Grande
Western train was going to ogden at
the time, and the man was noticed on
the track when the train had reached
point near him. The whistle was
blown, and an attempt made TO stop
the train but it was too late. Rockwell
did not move, and the engine struck
him and threw him into q barbed wire
fence near the track. The train then
came to a stop, and he was picked up
and carried back to the deDot. The po-
lice were notified, and the fatrol wagon
was sent to the depot to get the wound
ed man. At the police station DR.. Nc
Kenna was called and dressed his
wounds. An examination showed that
his collar bone was broken and two
ribs on the left side fractured. 1t is
thought that. one of the ends OF the
broken ribs penetrated the lungs, but
that was not definitely ascertained. His
face was bruised and somewhat torn
by the barbed wire into Which he was
thrown. Rockwell is q man about IS
years of age and lives with his brother
at Coo West Fourth North street. After
his wounds were dressed he was con-
veyed in the patrol wagon TO his home,
and later was transferred to ST. Mark
hospital.
