FROM LAHAINA.
Four Big Steamships Due-The Bark

the Front.

The S. S. Rio de Janeiro had not
been sighted up to noon.
The bark II. p. Rithet has gone ov-
er to the railroad wharf to take SUI
gar.
The Kinney sailed from Hilo for
San Francisco last Friday morning,
with 1000 tons of sugar.
The barkentine Jane l.. Stanford
came alongside the coal wharf this
morning and commenced discharging.
The second mate of the bark X. T..
Rithet, who was severely injured by
falling brick last week, has been
able to return to duty again.
The bark Fresno got away for the
Sound in ballast late yesterday after
noon. She was leaking slightly and
will have to dry dock at the Coast.
From reports brought by the Maui
ma Loa today. it was learned that the
schooner Aloha will not leave Hilo for
this port until tomorrow or next day.
The bark S. c. Allen was TO have
received a fun cargo this week. but
Captain Johnson says he has not seen
enough sugar yet to sweeten his cof-
fee.
The steamer Helene has been expec-
from Yokohama to Portland, Or,
since Sunday, but has not yet arriv-
ed She will probably bring down a
full cargo of sugar.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany S. S. Braemer, now on her way
ted from the Hamaliua coast since
and instructed to call here, has been
expected since Saturday.
The schooner Robert Levers is taxi
ing 5000 bags of sugar left on the XII
nau wharf by the steamer Maui. She
will still lack about 5000 bags. which
Captain Goodman hopes to find in
time to get away on next Monday.
The S. S. Warrimoo is due from the
Colonies tomorrow, and the S. S. Zea-
landia from San Francisco on the
same date. If the S. S. Rio de ia
metro and S. S. Braemer should hap

harbor master will have his hands full
trying to dock them all.
Captain Benecke of the schooner
w. II. Talbot is having a peck of
trouble. Since his arrival in port, one
man has died, and another deserted,
and the others appear to be discon-
tented. His cargo will be out by Fri
day, however, and when he gets away
for the Coast, he hopes that his diff
cuties will be over.
The bark Mohican will sail for San
Francisco this afternoon, with full
cargo of sugar. Captain Turne, for
mer mate of the bark II. p. Rithet,
will take her up, Captain Saunders
having gone up by steamer on urgent

on the wind at the Pacific Mail wharf.

1880 this morning from her usual
route. having established new rec
ord run of hours 10 minutes from

Der of passengers were taken aboard.

grinding of late, the Mauna Loa Sc
cured but 212 bags of sugar The 9th
err items of her cargo were: 25 head of
cattle, 63 bags of coffee, 10 bags of
taro, POI hides and 125 packages of
miscellaneous freight.

MONROE DOCTRINE.

The Hamburger Nachrichten evi-
IDENTIFY has not a particle of respect
for the Monroe Doctrine. 1t says: ut
is not true that the world is divided
up. 1t never is. The whole of South
and Central America is at present to
be had for the right nation. Mexico
alone, perhaps, must be excepted.
German emigrants can. If they are SO
minded, create German empire
there. We need not directly attack any
of these countries, unless they ar
tempt to exclude the Germans. 1t is.
however, fairly certain that they will,
one after another cease to be indepen-
dent states, simply because their peo-
pie cannot manage their affairs"

MORE TROOPS ARE COMING
SEVEN VESSELS PRACTICALLY
CHARTERED.
1t is Expected That the Next ENpcdi-
ton viii Contain at Least Forty
five Hundred Men.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2S.-The
government yesterday chartered two
more transport ships to convey the
troops to Manila. The steamers are
the China and Colon, both Pacific
Mail boats The Colon arrived from
Panama and way ports few days
ago and the China came in yesterday
from Hongkong and Yokohama.
The China is as big as the Picking,
and if anything a faster steamer. She
will carry 1000 troops. The Colon
will carry about 500 soldiers. The
Ohio and Centennial. which are on
their way from the Sound, will carry
about 1.sOO men. and the Zealandia
nearly 500 more.
The government calculates to carry
altogether 1880 men in the five YES
sells, and the intention now is to have
the five steamers go out together.
The fleet is expected to leave here in
about ten days.
The price paid for the China is
81 800 day while she is under char
ter to the United States. 1t will be
four or five days before she can be
discharged and turned over to the
government. 1t will not be necessary
to put her on the dry dock for the
reason that she is now i'm the best or
condition. The Colon was on the dry
dock on her last trip to this port. and
she can be made ready for sea in a
very short time. Her charter price is
$3.50 day.
The steamer Pennsylvania. a twin
to the Ohio. is due here within the
next ten DAYS. She started for this
Coast from Philadelphia forty-nine
days ago to go into the Klondike bus
mess. Upon her arrival here she will
be inspected and without doubt will
be chartered as "A transport ship.
The British collier Ming Chow was
inspected yesterday at Mare Island
and was reported on favorably TO
Washington. She will probably be
chartered to carry coal and stores to
Manila.
The China came into port flying the
Hawaiian flag, but her registry will
be changed to an American one by Il
special act of Congress-.

with consequences that will completely
destroy the confidence of his people in
him.
For the sake of common intelligence,
we shall hope that the story will turn
out to be a fake Really, it is too
much to ask sensible people to believe
that SO distinguished an officer as
Marshal Blanco could be guilty Of such
a miserable device. If true, however,
it gives support to the repeated asser-
tions made of late that the General has
lost his wits. Only a week ago it was
gravely charged by people who know
him well that the old man has shown
signs of insanity Of late, and On more
than one occasion has been guilty Of
acts chargeable only to a mind dis
eased. The charge was Indignantly
denied by Spaniards in this country
who are intimate with the General.
But since then the story has been re-
peated, and now there is reason 10 be-
lieve it to be true. No man in his senses
would delude a people as Blanco is al
legged to have done.
The record-union., 1898-05-12
AN OBJECT LESSON.

The need of Hawaii to the United
States is now significantly pressed upon
our attention. Two of our most dis
tinguished officers have testified before
q Senate committee that the possession
of the islands is a military and a naval
necessity. We are now engaged in a
war that in part is to be fought out in
Asiatic waters. Our navy there is near
ly 5000 miles from a base, and is,
therefore, under present conditions in
a precarious position. Hawaii is one
third Of the way to Manila, and if we
possessed that territory, which is the
key to the Pacific, our Asiatic fleet
would be 1900 miles nearer home and
complete efficiency.
A steamship from San Francisco for
the Philippines ought to coal at Ha-
waii. If not, she must sacrifice carry
ing capacity, and at the end of her
journey may be found to be unable to
make quick return for lack of coaling
and Quitting harbor facilities, as is
true in this war
1t is fortunate for US that the Re-
public Of Hawaii has announced its
willingness to take the position of an
ally, and not to shut US out of her
ports by declaration of neutrality. BY
that action she invites assault from
Spain in our interest. True, it may be
said that it is good politics on the
part of the Hawaiian Government.
which wishes to be annexed to the
United States, but it is legitimate poll
itics, and as it invites possible disaster
1t is courageous politics. We ought to
respond by immediate approval of the
annexation treaty.

A COMFORT FUND.

1t was suggested in these columns
the other day that a personal or re-
serve fund, comfort fund, should be
furnished the two companies Of volun-
teers that have gone out at their coun-
try's call from this city. 1t is learned
that patriotic and public-spirited wo-
men of the city have taken hold of the
matter, and that the promise is that
the fund will soon be raised.
It should be accumulated at once be-
fore the troops start for Asiatic waters.
1t should be understood that this COM
pany and comfort fund is in no wise
intended to operate in place of the Red
Cross work. The latter is for relief
of the wounded and care Of the sick.
The comfort fund that other cities are
raising, and some have completed, is
for a distinct purpose.
These funds are to be disbursed by
the officers of the company and ac-
counted for by them, for such neces-
saries and comforts for the men as do
not fall within the regular army sup
plies. Such testimonials to our men
are due; they encourage, support and
sustain the spirits Of the soldier and
go far towards encouraging enlist
ment. We know that the major part
of the men who enlisted from this city
had no spare change with them. They
left all they had for those dependent
upon them, or expended it in adjusting
their affairs, and in procuring that nee
essary personal outfit which every man
needs outside of the equipment the
Government gives him.
What reading matter, postage, sta
tionery, extra underwear, and a host of
other things which a man feels he
needs who is taken suddenly from the
comforts of home and town life, the
enlisted soldier must supply for him
self on his meager salary of S13 a
month. The good women of Sacramento
can do no better work just now than by
raising Immediately and forwarding to
Captains Cooke and Lucey before their
departure the sum of $500, that is, $3.50
for each company, to be used as COM
fort and urgent necessity funds in the
wise discretion of the board of officers
of each company.
Such has been done by the good peo-
pie of Riverside, for instance, for the
company that enlisted from that city.
Sacramento should do as well or better.
In that city the idea was suggested by
the remaining militia company, which,
knowing the need for such a fund
started the ball with a subscription of
$500 from its own meager company
fund.

BLANco jokes OR IS INSANE,

General Blanco is a practical Joker
or is insane The dispatches give US
an account of a great celebration in
Havana, public rejoicing, with process
sions and music, over the capture by
the Spanish of Mobile, Boston, pensa-
cola and Charleston. From this it seems
that General Blanco is keeping up the
spirits Of the Spanish in Cuba by the
loudest kind Of whistling. He has
actually told the people, we are assured.
that the Spanish have to the extent
stated prevailed over the Americans.
We are disposed to doubt the story,
yet it comes with a good deal Of cir
cumstantiality. and as it is through
private correspondence and not yellow
Journalism, we are constrained to give
it some credit, despite the wish to dis
believe it, 1t seems incredible that
General Blanco for whose shrewdness,
wisdom and skill as a Governor we have
had reason to have regard, could Ge-
scend to such a miserable device as
falsehood, mendacity that he must
know will very soon be exposed, and

sututes the highest qualities of leader

accordingly.
THE PHILIPPINES.
| San Diegan-Sun: AS might have been
expected, a strong sentiment has al
ready arisen at Washington in favor OF
retaining the Philippine Islands, and
the reason given is that such a station
would assist the United States in its
commercial relations. Such reasoning
will apply particularly to the Pacific
Coast, as the commerce to the Philip
pines, and to China and Japan, thus
developed, would pass through the
ports of the Pacific Coast. AS the coast
cities are thus developed the entire
coast would be developed, and the COM
mercial business of the United States
would be more thoroughly equalized.
east and west. The advantages are
many. That fact can be seen at a
glance.
