MONDAY, MAY 2, 1898.

Doubtless it is quite Legitimate
for military men of this country,
who desire to study the art of war
in its terrible practise, to offer
their services to the United States
on the present occasion. But that
residents of the Hawaiian Islands
should, for the glory of the thing,
enlist in the war believed to ha
now begun is all wrong. 1t is both
foolhardy and supererogatory, al.
80 perhaps wanting in the wisdom
that should govern patriotism
The fighting will likely be in the
most unwholesome localities of
Cuba, where recruits from Hawaii's
salubrious atmosphere would, in a
large proportion of cases, only en-.
cumber the hospitals as victims of
malaria before they ever saw the
face of Spanish foe. The United
States is not desperately 10 want
of men to fight for her Just now.
Her regular army and picked
levies of we'll trained militia are
already out in sufficient force
for the immediate requirements of
the situation, and millions who are
ready to reinforce them if needed
are compelled to stay at home
right on American soil for the
present. Were a nation of equal
resources in men, money and mu-
nitions at war with the United
States, the case would be differ
ent. lie Hawaii were part of
the United States at this
moment, it is very unlikely
that single squad would be al
lowed to leave here for the front.
Volunteers who offered themselves
on this side of the water, in such |
case, would probably be told that
their place was right here. All
the more is this the proper station
of supporters of the cause of
American civilization and liberty
whose home is in Hawaii, while
the country is in the peculiar
situation of being rendered as an
addition to the soil of the Ameri-
can nation and that nation facing
a foe. Who can tell, whether the
United States annex the islands
before winning peace or other
wise, that the American cause
national or local-may not sud
denly need defenders in these
Hawaiian Islands &?

WAR.

General Wade Hampton says the
south should O fight in case of war,
but leave the north to do It. He thinks
the south has suffered already enough
from war. He says he would not serve
under General Mixes. He is not alone.
Many a southern soldier would re
member Miles treatment of President
Davis when a prisoner at Fortress
Monroe. General Hampton says Miles
is too conceited. He thinks but little
fighting would be on land. That is not
certain, for this country might send
100, 900 men to Cuba.
The Spaniards have won a battle
over the Cubans. It occurred ON the
18th and 10Th of February. General
Castellanos reports that the Cubans
had 5000 men and lost ISL killed and
wounded. Spaniards captured much
ammunition and "a horses.
Americans in Havana say that they
are safe, and protest against sensa-
tional reports sent to New York.
