Wednesday night. Thirty thousand
tons of ice were destroyed. Loss $20,.

Washington, July s.-The president
has signed the resolutions anneXing
Hawaii. It is the view of Hawaiian
authorities that Hawaii becomes q
part of the United States the moment
that the president attaches his sigma
ture to the resolution of congress. The
annexation is said to be complete
without any further action here or in
Hawaii. At the same time it is possi-
BILE that the Hawaiian Legislature may
pass a resolution similar to the one
passed by our congress. While it is
said that this was not necessary, yet
it will be formality accomplished,
and will possibly prevent quibbling.

Annexation by LEGISLATION.

The Hawaiian annexation proposition
takes the form of a joint resolution through
today's action of the Senate committee on
foreign relations. The treaty is not ADAM
doned, but immediate action is sought upon
the legislative proposition. There should
and probably will be no delay in pressing
the joint resolution to a vote in the upper
house. That body has heard the Hawaiian
question argued in every possible bearing
during the past five years and it is pre-
sumed that the speeches are practically ex-
hausted. There is no need for time-con-
Stunning deliverances, and unless the OPPOSE
ton should resort to filibustering tactics
there will in all likelihood be no loss of op-
portunity in sending the resolution to the
House. That there is a clear majority for
annexation in each house is not to be ques-
toned. In the Senate the treaty has thus
far barely failed to secure the support of
the votes necessary under the Constitution
for its ratification. Yet with this small
deficit there still remains reliable MAORI
ty of nearly two to one that will presuma-
bly, make itself felt in expressing a demand
for prompt consideration. This matter
ought to be settled beyond question before
final adjournment this session.

A Careful View.

From the London Spectator.
1t is nearly Impossible to form definite

therefore only state an impression, which,
though based on a careful study of the rev
facts obtainable, may prove ultimately err
roneous We believe, then, as at present
advised that both Washington and Madrid
expect war without desiring 1t; that both

The strain in the relations of this coun-
try and Spain has thus far wrought excel
lent results in directing congressional at
teEtion 10 the imperative need of the coun-
try for an adequate naval and military
equipment as a guarantee of peace. The
passage of the artillery bill and the appro-
priation of $4,000 900 for the national de-
ferse are the first substantial evidences of
the long-delayed awakening of the Iegis-
latcrs to the grim fact that this countr,

The Duty of the Threatened.

When man threatens the life of another
man he becomes Immediately proper sub
ject for police attention. The course for
the person so threatened to pursue is to re-
sort without delay to the legal processes
intended to grant him protection. The law
provides methods of punishment for those
who thus give voice to an unlawful pur-
rose, and it's invocation is often the means
of preventing such tragedies as that which
shocked this city yesterday. Without ref
erence to the merits OF this particular case,
il is nevertheless to be observed that the
first measure OF self-defense is for the per-
who feels that he is in danger to Sc
cure The Imprisonment and punishment, or
at least the solemn warning by the court.
of the man who thus encroacnes upon his
personal liberties. Had this course been
pursued in the case of the participants in
yesterdays shooting it is fairly to be pre-
sumed that no human life would have been
sacrificed. Yet men of certain tempera-
ments hesitate about appealing 20 the law.
There seems to them to be some suggestion
of personal cowardce in such a course A
false standard of minor morals intervenes.
1t may be said. to put premium on per-
sonal self-defense. Self-reliance is g COM
mendable quality in any man, but the mod
ern conditions of society have provided the
means of preserving the peace and pre-
venting personal collisions that are better
and more wholesome in their general eff
fects the public mind than resort to
the individual means of defense. The mis-
fortune of such affair that of yester-
day. aside from its immediate conse-
qUences. is that certain minds are unduly
inflamcd with an exaggerated sense of the
right Of q man to guard and himself
against possible assaults even when no
particular attack is anticipated. There is
no such right. The law forbi1s the carry
ing of concealed weapons and refers the
threatened TO the courts for protection.
The process of armament lSads inevitably
to more tragedies and more iaw-breaking.
The modern means Of staying are too GER
tain in their effects to be resorted to lightly
or carelessly, and hence the value of such
law that passed by the House of Rep
resentatives Monday further restricting the
access OF the public to all forms of danger
Gus or deadly weapons is not to be disre-
garded.

reason Of the fact that the ship list has
BEEN increased out of proportion to the
equipment for caring for the vessels and
keeping them at the top notch of efficiency.
The modern man-of-war is susceptible to
SO many disarranging influences that a dry
deck is a virtual necessity. Any prolonged
stay in the water of the southern seas will
encrust the bottom of the ship with barna-
Giles that not only add to the weight but
present such a rough surface to the water
that the speed capacity is materially re-
duced. To remove these the ship must be
locked, and this process forms, indeed, one
of the most necessary features of modern
naval administration.
The naval officers and officials have ap-
preciated the gravity of this requirement.
but as is the case at times with much need
ed public buildings serious delay has been
caused by unreconcilable differences of
opinion among the legislators with regard
to the sites for the docks. The naval board
recommended certain sites that were. with
one exception, favored by the majority Of
the committee yesterday, Philadelphia be-
ing substituted for Brooklyn as the place
for one of the docks. The docks, accord
ing to this action, will be located at Ports
mouth, N. H..-Boston, Philadelphia, New
Orleans and San Francisco. This distribu-
tiCn of the necessary facilities for caring
for modern vessels will, 1t is thought, ac-
commodate the needs of the navy fol- some
years and will grant a maximum of benefit
by reason of the convenience of the docks
to the ordinary cruising grounds of the
home fleets.
Thus it is to be seen that the war
scare as the existing sentiment along the
lines of healthy patriotism is unthinking-
ly called by some, is producing excellent
results, that will endure long after the
present difficulties have been settled by di-
plOmacy, arbitration or war. The nation
has realized it's duty and is responding TO
the call.

An Important scmi-OGiciaI Statement

The statement published today. under
Washington date line. purporting to give
the latest views of the Spanish ministry re-
speeding the Cuban situation is 2scribed to
Senior Polo Bern5be. 1t bears the ear
marks of his authorship. He is the only
person N Washington of whom it may be
said that he is Intimately associated with
Premier 5agasta and Senior Moret, minister
of the colonies. 1t is true that when the
statement was called to the attention of
the Spanish minister, and his views on it
Were requested he maintained diplomatic
reserve" But that was diplomacy. 1t did
OF detract from the Importance OF the de-
uverance, for while ne did not accept re-
sponsibility for it, Senior Polo y Bernabe
said of it. after reading it carefully that
it appeared to be given by one thoroughly
conversdEt with the situation" UndOubt-
edly. Conversant with the situation from
the Spanish point of view. and DESTROYS Of
forwarding Spain's ends.
The gist of this statement is that auton-
ony for Cuba is not failure but possesses
all the elements of success; that il will
succeed if the United States will cooperate
toward that end. But the United States is
a menace to autonomy. Its fleet of war
ships off the Florida coast is influencing
the situation in Cuba adversely to Spain
The elections coming on, and threats
ard talk about American intervention are
entering as factors into the situation. Let
this fleet be scattered, and the election re-
turns will show triumph for autonomy.
But nothing is said about Spain's fleet in
Cuban waters. Is not that partly designed
and will it not enter as factor in the play
for autonomy? Is not Spain, by increasing
Ter naval power near the island and ner
force on shore, prepc ring to carry the cleo
tions at the point of her guns? She ex-
pects nothing from the interior, but every
thing from the seaport cities and towns,
where sentiment may be reached and in
fuenced by a display of arms
Autonomy, if established in that way,
cannot last. If force is necessary to set it
up. force Will be necessary to sustain it, a
form of seif-sovernment which does not
recommend itself to a people upon a care
full examination of Its provisions. is
acceptable because of lack of faith on
their part in the sincerity OF those who
offer it. is a failure beyond the hope of REM
edy by its contrivers. 1t can neither be
shot nor p1tchforked into success.
The United States is interested in peace
for Cuba not for a day year, but as a
permanency. The desire is to see govern
ment in Cuba take that form which shall
insure the cooperation of all the inhab-
itants of the island The putting down of
the present war by a trick or by force on
SPANS part would simply make it a mat
ter of calculation as to how long it would
be before another revolt might reasonably
be expected. Another war would undoubt-
eddy come. and then American embarrass-
ments would be revived. and become even
greater than they now are.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1898-03-16

Reports representing the President as
anxious that Congress shall hurry through
with the remainder Of its work and adj
journ, leaving to him the whole matter of
dealing with Spain about Cuba, are to be
received, If at ALL with a large grain of al
lowance. They do not agree with known
facts, nor show the proper appreciation Of
the situation. The President is not among
those who regard Congress as a nuisance
and menace, but, on the contrary, he has
faith in Congress- and works tremendously
and successfully in connection with it. The
faith that Congress has in him has just
been exhibited in the most signal and COM
plete manner. The real strength of the
American case lies in the fact that the Ex-
ecutive and Congress are in thorough ac-
cord and that the people of the country
without distinction of party, are behind
both. 1t would be impossible for the
United States to present a more united
front to the world than it does today.
Equally unworthy of credit, too are the
stories which represent the President as
using the present war scare, with no
thought that war is at all likely, to hasten
the coast defenses, the Importance of which
Congress has up to this time been some
what slow to appreciate. 1t is true that
what is~now being done to strengthen the
sea coast in case of war will be of very
great Importance even if the differences
with Spain are settled by other means.
But this is not to say that war with Spain
is not imminent for 1t is. 1t is imminent
for the reason that the duty of the United
States calls for Intervention in behalf of
peace for Cuba, and Spain. angered by fail
ure in Cuba and unrest at home, is full of
threats and proclamations. She is just
about mad enough to invite destruction
and if she does invite it, by an attack on
this country, she is certain to be speedily
accommodated. The country is ready and
waiting-not boastfully nor defiantly So,
but waiting for developments with an as
sured ability to meet the emergency, what
ever it may be and whenever it may arise
The country's faith in the President,
there is every reason to believe, is abso-
iutely well deserved. He is too true man
to trifle with the great trust imposed in
him, and too wise to undervalue or mistake
what that trust means. He is neither
shamming nor maneuvering through vanity
to occupy the whole stage himself
