INTERESTING REVELATIONS

The war investigating commission remain
ed in session yesterday afternoon until
nearly D O'Clock. Major Thomas T. Knox
OF the 1st United States Cavalry concluded
MS testimony, after which Maj. Gen. Joseph
W. Breckenridge. United States Volunteers,
gave some extremely interesting testimony
bearing upon the fixing of responsibility for
dif1iculties of administration during the war.
Gen. Breckinridge, when appointed major
general of United States volunteers was d
brigadier general in the regular army and
inspector general of the army. The first
portion of his testimony was largely re
lat1ns to routine matters connected with
Camp Thomas. of which he was the COM
manding general from August until that
camp was abandoned. The most important
development in his testimony occurred Just
before the commission adjourned until to-
day, when Gen. Breckenridge will continue
on the stand. He said that If what the
war investigating commission is now doing

entirely new light upon the way in which
the army was managed, and appeared to

Not few murmurs have arisen
on account of the length of the
iegis Iative TESS on. Some of the
law makers want to 60 home and
some of the cilIzeLs desire to see
business finished
Under the circums tances it is
certainly good IoIicy for the Ha-
wsiian Legislature to remain in
session as iopg as the American
Congress does. This doubtless
will not satisfy the out of town
members bat it is "business" Just
the same. Every man in the
Legislature has tak.n oath to
keep his weather eye peeled for
annexation to Il e United States.
N It long since it was thought that
Hawaii had done It's part of the
Annexation work WHEN the Senate
rarf,d the treaty. Now war is
upon us, the treaty gone up the
spout for the time being at l-sst
and the annexation campaign
directed along a lew line.
Hawaii having practically allied
herself with the Uuited States IN
this Yanko Spanko war should
stand ready to act quickly in
event of the passage of the annex
alton resolution. The length of
the Compression al session is
maler of doubt and the enact
ment of the annexation resolution
is not s,fi'ienrl, good thing to
bet two to one on. AT the same
time Hawaii should have its lpgis-
iative sails trimmed to make the
best of every favorable breeze
tn Il blows from the American
Crrgress. The additional thirty

sELFIsnNEss TURNS THE SCALE.


Selfish national interests, the
bonds that have brought Great
Britain and the United States to-
gether, will be the key note OF the
final action of the United States
toward Hawaii. 1t may be hard
for many of the older residents to
believe this, but the course OF
events point steadily in that di-
rection. To be sure we have many
American advocates prompted by
feelings of sympathetic patriotism,
but the average citizen-and he is
the individual to be reckoned
with-has Invariably asked why
Uncle Sam should take more land
on his hands.
1t was the capture of Manila

stinct points out that Hawaii just
It the present time is an American
necessity. His common sense add
that the day of wars is not at an
end, that coal is an unrelenting
king Consequently he figures
that the United States must either
take over Hawaii or arrange some
scheme whereby American war
ships can always have access to
these ports. The average citiz"u
