SPANISH REFUGEES.

Nine Hundred Said to Have Lost Their
 Lives on Transport.

Tacoma. Wash, August 30.-The Hong Kong Daily Press is authority for the statement that 900 Spaniards, including six teen priests, lost their lives several weeks ago when the Spanish gunboat Leyte was captured by a vessel belonging to Admiral Dewey's squadron.
 The Leyte had been stationed in an ad- joining island where the insurgents were numerous and aggressive. The latter were gaining ground rapidly, causing 900 Span iards to board the sailing vessel in an en- deavor to escape from the natives, who would massacre them.
 The gunboat Leyte undertook to tow three transports to Manila Bay, where the Spaniards aboard them were to surrender to Admiral Dewey if they did not succeed in landing somewhere and reaching Manila under the cover of darkness. After the Leyte had lowed them down Pampangas river and some distance along the coast. heavy storm came up, making it necessary for the gunboat to cut her tows loose and proceed to Manila for assistance. Before getting there she was captured by the Americans the next day and an American vessel was dispatched to find the trans ports, but failed to discover any trace of them.
 The natives on the adjoining coast say they saw nothing of any vessels. The Hong Kong Press finally reached the con- clusion that the vessels foundered with all on board.
 The Chinese emperor has issued an edict that European and American missionaries and their converts in his empire be fully protected. He says that in this respect all Chinese officials have heretofore been derelict. He issues this edict as a final warning and declares his determination that there shall be no more rights.
 Japanese papers announce that all export duties now imposed in Japan are to be gradually abolished with the object of in- creasing foreign trade.

Signs of Recrudescence

Hong Kong, August 30.-The Kwang-Si re- bellion, which has been quiescent for some time, shows signs of serious recrudescence. The rebels are in great force fifty miles northwest of Canton. and are preparing to attack the city. The viceroy of Canton, having failed to dispatch troops to SUD- press the rebellion in Hainan and protect the American missionaries, the United States consul at Canton has made strong representations to the acting viceroy, re- iterating his demand for the prompt SUD- pression of the general disturbances.

A Fable With a Moral

From the Detroit Journal.
 Once upon a time there was a boy who smoked twenty boxes of cigarettes a day.
 "He will never be of any use in the world! exclaimed the neighbors sadly.
 If he were only to die from the effects of his sinful indulgence how different it would be!
 But he lived, greatly to the chagrin of his parents, who were worthy people.
 This fable teaches how tobacco, if ex- cessively used, sears the conscience.

Hawaii's Case,

Mr.. Dole says that Hawaii will
try to remain an independent re-
public if the United States Senate
refuses to approve the annexation
treaty now pending"
Very well. Let Hawaii remain
an independent republic. That is
its proper condition. and in that
condition it has the standing
pledge Of the United States to
maintain it.
1t is fit for that. II is not fit to
be State in this Union. We don't
want State tour flths OF whose
population consists Of Kanakas
recently emerged from cannibal
ism. Chinese and japanese coolies,
chinless Papuans and Polynesians.
Still less do we want State in
which the American principle Of
manhood suffrage must be over
ridden in order to prevent it from
lapsing into savagery.
Mr.. Dole would like to be a
United States Senator. but the
United States cannot afford to paw
the price necessary to secure his
services in that capacity.
Let Hawaii remain an Independ-
ent republic.

The Spanish Compliment 20 Reed.
The Her0id0, oi Madrid, has be-
slowed upon Speaker Reed a COM
pliment that will warm his heart.
"He is a Yankee" says our Span
ish contemporary, who deserves
not to be one" 1t would be inn
possible to hit off more happily the
distinction acquired by the
Speaker and his associates in the
noble work of suppressing Ameri-
can sympathy with Cuban liberty.
Mr.. Reed is unfortunately an
Americana fact that is probably
regretted with equal intensity by
himself and by the people of the
United States. But, as the HeraLdo
reminds us, that IS not his fault.
He cannot help being a Yankee,
but he deserves not to be one. His
Americanism is due only to the ac-
cident of birth; he has no moral re-
sponsibility for it.
We wish it could be said with
equal justice that America had no
moral responsibility for Mr.. Reed.
Unlortu natelY, as long as we main
tain Congress that puts its con-
science in his charge,we can hardly
clear ourselves oi connection with
his proceedings. Mr.. Reed may
be Yankee who deserves not to
be one, but the Yankees have given
too much ground for allowing him
to be regarded as their representa-
tive.

RsiNiSche ZeituHg

We will not repeat the hackneyed asser-
tion that the British have been changing
more and more for eighty years past into
a commercial nation, lacking courage
Tor tar reaching warlike enterprises On
the contrary, we are still convinced that.
at least, the individual Enghshman is
quite equal to the most arduous politica
tasks, as far as energy and resolution
are concerned But, just as a medieval
castle was better able to stand siege
than modern tenement house, SO Eng
land, with her complicated political
institutions and the deep cogged wheel
work Of her worldwide empire, can only
with very great difficulty expose herself
TO the dangers of a modern war. We
need only remember that whenever war
breaks out a lew swift hostile cruisers
would suffice TO render the importations
of provisions into the ocean girt island
kingdom difficult. and would raise prices
to a height beyond the reach OF the
working classes and inflict incalculable
damage on the mother country. Eng.
lane will, therefore, never wish to ex.
pose herself to the perils Of war, unless
vital British interests are directly threat.

Hawaiian Leader to Fight Treaty

Hawaiian Leader to Fight Treaty.
Major J. o. Carter, the most
prominent OF the Hawalians who
oppose annexation and the most
influential of ex-Queen Liliuoka-
lani's adherents, has arrived here.
He is a white man, Of American
parentage, although born on the
islands.
In discussing the expediency of
annexation Major Carter said: Il
am too go d an American to want
to see the United States annex
Hawaii and too good a Hawaiian
to want to see that country annexed
to the United States.
Personally like Mr.. Dole. and
the members Of his Cabinet are my
friends; but Mr.. Dole, in saying
that the HaWaiians are satisfied
with the existing Government,
makes a great mistake il he means
the natives. Moreover, the desire
Of the whites for annexation is wan
ing.

Maryland Too.

The election last tuesday OF
Louis G. McComas as Senator
from Maryland, to succeed Mr..
German, ended a contest which
was in some respe cts similar to that
in Ohio.
In Maryland as in Ohio the can
didate of the Republican machine,
supported by the Administration
and by the powerful plutocrat in
fluence in the party, has won In
Maryland as in Ohio the successful
candidate was opposed by an angry
minority of the party, which finally
succumbe6 to the combined power
Of King Caucus and Boss Doodle.
On the formal balloting last Tues
day Senator Writ, in a bitter
speech, said that the election OF
McComas "was accomplished by
bribery on the part Of the corpor-
ations which he represents"
In one respect, however, the re-
suit in Maryland is less discredita-
BILE than was the election Of Hanna.
Judge McComas is at least man
Of intellectual training and OF ex-
perience in public life. He has
served four terms in the lower
house of Congress, aud since 1892
has been Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court OF the District Of
Columbia.
His election is a direct result OF
the misguided and disastrous Dem
ocratic campaign of 1896. The
Republicans now have both Sena-
tors from Maryland.
