leave little for his mon to do. He is an

be called upon to defend her coast. He

have suffered from the haunting impress
sion of having already heard story much
like his Search of the histories for a SIM
liar victory, won at so little expense, proved
useless, but still the impression remained,
and as 1t amounted to charge of plagiar-
ism against the admiral the effect was
most painful. Now the mystery has solved
itself. The Spanish generals in Cuba have
told us about dozens, yes, hundreds, of
battles in which they met the rebels and
destroyed them utterly. after dreadful
fighting, in which the Spanish loss was one
lieutenant wounded and two privates
killed. Admiral Dewey. knowing that these
tales had been viewed with some suspicion,
evidently determined to demonstrate their
possible truth by doing to the Spaniards
themselves exactly what they claim to
have done to the Cubans SO often. 1t was
the act of a magnanimous enemy eager to
lift cloud Of distrust from men for whom
he had a professional sympathy.-New

DELIBERArIoN DEMANDED

A stock argument with the annexation
lists is that some foreign power may SEIZE
the Hawaiian islands and fortify them
Ultimately this might happen. But what
if It should? Foreign powers have forth
fed strongholds all about US now, and
very near to us, without exciting our
special wonder, much less our fear
England and Spain, Denmark and
France, have scores of forts and miles OF
Notifications throughout the West In
dies, which for hundred years hav.
commanded the Gulf of Mexico and the
pathway to the south seas. Rather for
midable defenses have existed from time
immemorial all along our northern and
northe astern borders, erected by England
and France. Access to our own territory
in the northwest Is pretty effectually
commanded by British guns at Esqui-
malt The construction of more or less
formidable defenses all along the north
ern coast of South America and the east
ern and western coasts Of Central Amer
lea and Mexico, has been in progress for
hundred years, without causing any
citizen of this country bad nights rest.
Without denying or attempting to deny
the advantage of an undisputed footing
in the Hawaiian islands, where our naval
vessels could put in for coal. for re-
pairs or shelter, it is absurd to claim that
we cannot pay too much for the privilege,
incredible that the advantages may not
be more than minimized by the RESPONSE
bilities We may be asked to assume in
annexing them.
The Spaniards have been fortifying the
principal ports of Cuba and Porto Rico
for the past four hundred years, and yet
we are disposed to be impatient with our
navy for not having destroyed an of these
defenses in thirty days and driven the
Spaniards into the sea.
Hawaii is four thousand miles from
this coast. Strengthen 1t as any foreign
power might, and it would yet not so
much menace the United States as has
Cuba since the government was founded
and yet we have lost little sleep over the
danger from that quarter. Nor are the
probabilities In the Pacific imminently
menacing. We are assuredly not afraid of
Spain, and it does not seem likely that
any power would by the others be per-
mitted to take and occupy the Hawaiian
islands.
Under the pretext of necessity, as a
war measure, we may and are likely soon
to occupy them-and possibly repent at
leisure our precipitancy. The admins
tration is determined to compass acquisi-
ton, by one means or another. and a
coup may be looked for any day. Never
theless, we still think that wisdom die
tates greater elaboration in the taking
Of step involving such possible far
reaching consequences. We still think
that the question of absorbing Hawai-:
should be deferred until the end of this
war-until the results of 1t are deter
mined-until 1t is demonstrated what
other insular territory may come to us
through compassionate the people shall
have had a chance to clear their eyes Of

ARE THEY FoRGOTTENp

According to all accounts, the Los
Angeles companies in the Seventh regi-
ment are not getting the recognition from
home that the companies from Riverside.
San Diego and elsewhere are receiving.
The latter have been the recipients of
huge boxes filled with good things from
home. Oranges, lemons, butter and deli
cacies of various kinds have been sent
by the case. Riverside has raised 500
in cash to be used as an emergency fund
by her boys. San Diego has contributed
5000 for hers, with more coming. All
these things have been raised and sent
10 the several companies as whole, in
addition to the numerous 'individual''
packages.
The Los Angeles boys have been re-
membered as ndividuals-some Of them
at least-but there have been no emery
ency funds, no company boxes for their
use. Not everyone has mother or a
sweetheart to send him things. The sit
uation is being noticed and commented
upon. San Francisco says Los Angeles
is "stingy.'
