HOW JENKINS DIED.

Washington, March Civilian Gartrell, the only surviving fireman on the battleship Maine, has written two letters home to his brother, George Gartrell of this city. In his descrip- tion of the explosion Gartrell gives the first authentic account of the death of Lieutenant Jenkins, and he relates in a graphic way the manner in which the lieutenant met his death.
 About $40 o'clock" he says, "I was crossing the third lower deck and was preparing to turn in when of a sudden a terrific explosion occurred, and when I staggered to my feet I found myself in the dark. There was one light in the distance and I made towards that. On the way met Lieu tenant Jenkins and a soldier named Garnett. We made for the ladder, and the ship was rapidly filling with water. We reached the hatch hole, and the water was gaining on us fast. Garnett said, We're lost,' and seemed about to give up, but Lieutenant Jenkins, who was the last man to reach the ladder, said: Go ahead. Don't give up.' Garnett squeezed through and pulled me after him. As I fell upon the deck I heard Lieutenant Jenkins cry, My God, I am drowned!' and I re- member nothing more.
 "A wardroom boy named McCann saw me lying there, and picking me up, threw me overheard The water revived me and I swan ashore"

 MT. Orcutt had arranged to entertain naval officer and others on the occas- ion of this launching, which was to have taken place on March 2S.
 Secretary Longs desire that there shall not be the usual festivities is based on the anxiety of the depart ment to push the work on these ships with all speed.

The Consul-eneral at Cuba Entirely

Washington, March 6.-The state department authorizes the following statement: The president will not consider the recall of General Lee He has borne himself throughout this crisis with judgment, fidelity and courage to the presidents entire satis- faction. As to supplies for the relief of the Cuban people our arrangements have been made to carry consign- ment from Key West by one of the naval vessels whichever may be the most adapted for the purpose, to Ma tanzas and Sagua.
 Although the officials here are non- commital on the subject it is believed the request for General Lees recall was made at least two days ago and the Spanish government, after receiv- ing the reply or the state department,

The Spanish Demand the Recall
 of General Lee
THE CONSUL IS SUSTAINED
A Firm Dignfied Reply by tho
 United States
The Spanish Government Also Makes Formal Objection to the Transport alton Of Relief supplies By American War Ships.

Washington, March 6.-The Span ish situation developed two new phas S today when it became known that the Spanish government had formally requested the recall of Consul-General Lee at his post at Havana, to which request the United States had cour- teously, but firmly, refused to comply; also that the Spanish government had suggested the impropriety of sending relief to Cuban reconcentrados on the cruiser Montgomery and the gunboat Nashville, to which suggestion the United States had given like answer in the negative.
 The ground on which General Lees recall was asked is not officially dis closed. It is known, however, that the Spanish government has chafed for some time over General Lees presence in Havana, although it had never taken the form of a definite protest prior to the present time. It began to assume a more serious aspect shortly after the arrival of the Maine at Ha vana At that time General Lee es- corted Captain Sigsbee on his round of official calls. These were made with due formality, but the Spanish officials took. offense when the calls were re- stricted to General Blanco, Admiral Manterola and the representatives of the military arm of Spain's service, and did not include Premier Galvez and his associates of the autonomist cabinet.

Richmond, Ky, March 6.-Mrs Dora Richardson Clay, child-wife of Gen eral Cassius M. Clay, inspected several cottages at Valley View yesterday with view of buying one for her future residence. Her brother John accom- panied her and it is understood that he and his family will live with her.
 She told the owners of the cottages who gave her prices that General Clay was putting up the money for her. This is taken as conclusive proof that final separation has been agreed upon by her and the general, who will pro- vide her comfortable home.

In looking over the clippings secur-
ed since the war with Spain was de
clared, and the naval action near Ma
Mia, it is surprising to notice the sud
den change of argument on the annex
alton matter.
The general argument, the stereo-
typed argument covering the possible
need of strategic points in the Pacific
gave way suddenly to the immediate
needs Of the hour. There could be no
better illustration of the political max
i'm that democratic nations make up
their policies at the dictation of pres

The Monroe doctrine, so conspicu-
ously representing the foreign policy
of our country, was the creation of

suggested it to the Government at

triple alliance of the European sover-
eigns. A democracy could not create

PAST HISTORY.

4 chapter in the history of American
political literature has now closed,
with the passage of the joint resolu-
ton of annexation. This literature
covered a period beginning with the
18th of January, 1898, and ending with
the 9TH of July, 1898. Some day a
student in the growth of political in
stitutfons viii take the trouble to trace
the growth of ideas in the American
mind on the special subject OF Ha-
waiian annexation. A source of infOr-
nation on public matters, of the high
est value, is the current opinions of
the Press. A few years ago, it was
a matter of great patience and labor
to obtain these opinions. The creation
of the bureaus of Press clippings, how
ever, brought together with rapidity,
and in the most serviceable form, the
printed views of public men, in every
part of the country.
The Advertiser has, for many months,
traced the opinions of the Press writ

changing the fashion of dress, can
only be seriously considered, when the
present political excitement has abated
somewhat. We will then, after the
flag is up, consider this vital question.

The explanation may now be safely
given. Annexation was a policy in adj
vance of the average political thought
of the American democracy. The
statesmen who favored it were in ad-
ton was inevitable in the end, the
average thought of the people moved
slowly. Annexation was an interesting
question but not one of the hour. 1t
could wait.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-07-20

The word annexation" now ceases
to have any value here, excepting as
describing a past historical incident.
The clipping of the papers now become
the valuable evidences of the growth
of an idea.
It is now safe to say, that so far as
we have been able to judge from i'm
perfect data, the majority of news
papers have been against annexation.
The Kansas City Journal recently stat
ed that it stood alone, west of the
Mississippi river, in persistently advo-
eating annexation. This statement is
not true, however. But out of the
1000 daily and weekly papers issued
on the Mainland, the majority were
either Indifferent, or even opposed to
it.
From the time the Commissioners
reached Washington in 1898, until the
passage of the joint resolution, the
number of Senators favoring anneXa-
ton decreased rather than increased.
