ALOHA MR.. LEWIS
Farewell Reception to Pa.
lama Chapel Pastor.
Exchange of Greetings - He Has
and Response-Fine Music,

A farewell reception was given at
Palama Chapel last evening to the Rev
John NJ. Lewis, the retiring pastor
Mr.. Lewis leaves Honolulu this after
! noon. He is not going away from the
Islands, however. Mr. Lewis is call
ed to the Waikiki, Maui, district. He
| will have a larger feld-greater OPP
portunity.
Palama Chapel was well filled on
this occasion. There were present
several hundred children of the neigh
borhood, the parents Of many of these
and a number of uptown people inter-
ested in this successful mission The
entire audience seemed animated with
the desire to shower alohas upon Mr.
Lewis. His congregation is sorry to
lose him, as he has become to almost
every man, woman and child in that
part of town a personal friend. Mr..
George Sea presided. Mrs. Webb had
arranged the program of the evening,
which was as follows:
IuNOCdllOu
Song .............Ka mehameha Girls
Piano Solo .M Miss Desha
Recitation .............M Miss Kelley
Selections -. Chapel Boys Orchestra
Song ............ .Kamehameha Girls
Remarks ..................M Miss Pope
Reading Resolutions. Miss Webb
Response to Resolutions ........
.................R Rev. John M. Lewis
Miss Pope spoke of the grand work
which had been accomplished by the
Palama Chapel and on behalf of herself
and the Kamehameha girls thanked
Mr.. Lewis for his uniform courtesy
and for his helpful cooperation
The resolutions read by Miss Webb
are a fine tribute to the retiring pas
tor, reciting as they did, the manner
in which he had won the respect of all
and had inspired the confidence and
effort of all. He would always be
remembered most kindly, and following
him to his new field were the best
wishes and prayers of all whom he had
met at the Chapel.
To the resolutions Mr.. Lewis re-
sponded with feeling and eloquently.
He said he had come to the neighbor-
hood a stranger and had at first found
many difficulties, but gaining the as
sistance and prayers of those whom
he now faced, the work had become a
pleasure. He felt deeply grateful and
under lasting obligations to all who
had become identified with the chapel.
He would never forget them and would
cherish their kindness and the express
ions of esteem and aloha for him.
Miss Kelley was so pleasing in her
first recitation that the children and
the grown-up folks as we'll insisted
on another.
The singing by the Kamehameha
girls was tuneful and melodious as
usual. The orchestra of chapel boys
gave several selections in fine style.
They play as we'll as several of the
quintette clubs Of men. After the
program refreshments were served. A
copy of the farewell resolutions to Mr..
Lewis will be transmitted to Central
Union Church Society.

now engaged in arranging plans with
the old Cuban fighter whereby he will
attack the Spaniaras from land stimuli
taneously with the attack by our feet
from the sea- This work cannot be
done in day. Indeed, the brave lieu
tenant selected sto communicate with
Gomez carries his life in his hand In
addition to this. the impoverished
Cuban army must be supplied from
the stores Of the American fleet with
proper arms. ammunition and cloth
ing. Gen. Gomez says if these be
forthcoming he can double the strength
of his army. These things yet remain
to be done and they can not be done in
a day. and until these necessary ar
rangements are completed it would be
premature and useless for Sampson
fleet to attack the Spanish from the sea.
Moreover, the blockade may bring
clustering Blanco to his senses and to
a realization of the inevitable. The
Spanish are great on heroics. but when
it comes to facing certain defeat and
death it is not in the Spanish nature
to hold out to the end just for the sake
of the artistic consistency OF the act.
and if Cuba can be taken without
bloodshed, even if it shall take little
more time, it will be great and dis
tinct gain for civilized warfare.
Meanwhile, it may be relied upon
that affairs are progressing with all
possible expedition in Cuba and Cuban
wa .ers, and it will become these edl-
tors who are impatient to smell blood
from afar to possess their Warnke
souls in peace and leave the fighting
to the fighters.

An installation of officers was held

session adjourned sine die.
Quite a lively argument was had
over the discussion upon representation
of the subordinate lodges in the grand
lodge The laws of the grand lodge
provide that representatives of each
subordinate lodge shall have one vote
and shall have one additional vote for
each one hundred members. The
chair ruled adversely to the law. An
appeal was taken, when the chair was
reversed and the law sustained.

Navy Department officials and Off
GERS Expect the First Big War
News---Aow Admiral Dewey Will
Probably Operate.

Washington. April 2S.-Naval cir
cles look to the Philippine Islands for
the first big war news. Admiral Dew
ey, naval officers say, either must take
a port in the Philippines and make it
base Of supplies and temporary
home for his ships or head his feet
straight across the Pacific for San
Francisco. 1t is expected that the
other European powers holding pos
sessions on the Chinese coast will
adopt Great Britain's rules as to the
conditions under which the ships OF
belligerent powers may shelter in their
ports. No matter how we'll inclined
toward the UL.ted States, China I'M
doubtedly will be obliged, under Euro
pean pressure, to join in the same prac-
tice. Thus Admiral Dewey viii find
that having secured one supply of coal
at a port belonging to one of these
powers that port will be practically
closed to his ships, for he would not
be permitted to enter them again for
the same purpose within three months,
space of time that would more than
consume the amount of coal that can
be carried on shipboard. This state of
affairs strongly accentuates the unwise
policy that has prevailed in the past OF
failing to secure coaling stations in
remote parts of the world, like Asia.
Admiral Dewey, because of this pol
icy, is under the necessity now of cap
turing a port from the enemy in which
he may stay as long as he pleases,
and his position consequently is much
more perilous than that of the Cuban
blockading squadron.
The admiral is believed to have sail
ed at O'Clock yesterday from Mrs
Bay, China, for the Philippines. AS
Stunning that his squadron is travelling
at the prescribed speed of ten knots,
it is calculated at the Navy Department
that he should occupy about sixty
hours in the passage to Manila, which
will bring him off that port early Sat
urday morning. 1t is possible that if
the Spanish feet can be driven into
any harbor under the protection of
the batteries, Admiral Dewey will de-
tach some of his ships to blockade the
port to keep them there while using
another part of his small force to seize
and occupy. with native assistance,
some unfortified port as base.

OUR WAR POLICY.

Some loudmouthed editors are in
cined to criticise Admiral Sampson
for not at once Smelling Havana and
driving the Spaniards from the island
and for apparent apathy and waste of
time. Fortunately no one is inclined
to pay any attention to these critics
whose knowledge of practical warfare
is confined chiefly to bullyragging the
printers devil. The country is per-
fectly willing to leave the matter in
the hands of the admiral and his
superiors in the department.
In the first place. it would be folly
for our fleet to lombard Havana before
concert of action and cooperation
has been arranged with the insurgent
army under Gomez. An emissary is

STILL TALKING POLITICS.


A more or less esteened Hanna
cratic contemporary, which, like lts
political god. was strong for peace at
anv price until it saw that the Amerl-
can people were bent on war ana
ayenging the national honor at any
price now sails with assumed pa
triotic fervor into Mr.. Bailey, OF
Texas, for suggesting that the selg-
niorage silver in the treasury he coined
before the nations bonded indebted
ness is increased This editorial Han
nacratic demagogue brings all his last
campaigns burnt powder out and fires
it at Mr.. Bailey, accusing him, among
other things, of taking advantage OF
the stress of war to force the country
upon a deprecated silver basis
Our contemporary evidently has
slight faith in the stability of the gold
standard as bulwarked by the present
administration, if it believes the mere
coinage of the seigniorage in the treas
ury would force the country upon a
deprecated silver basis
Mr.. Baileys suggestion was merely
a move for proper economy. TINS
seigniorage is now idle and useless
when it might be serving its purpose
as good money of the United States,
tn no IF tho
eminent on hand and tightening to
that extent the burden of taxation and
debt upon the people. There is no rea-
son why airy man not blinded by par
tisan prejudice should object to the
coinage of this seigniorage at this time
when good money is sorely needed.
Indeed, it is a wonder that the fat
footed demand has not been made and
enforced for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver in the present emer-
gency before any increase of the
national debt is agreed to. Our adj
versary, Spain. which has been on the
gold basis, has been forced to
adopt the free coinage of silver
in order to recuperate her finances
sufficiently to carry on the war. and it
Is the wisest move that Spain has made

MILITIAMEN AND THE REGULARS

MILITIA VEN AND The hEoCLAhS'
The militia of the States seem in
clined to be trifle jealous of the
regular army in the matter of prece-
dence This is not unnatural, nor are
the State troops to be blamed for pro-
testing against being merged into
the regular army and for desiring to
retain their identity and their own Of
ficers. 1t is important in order 70
maintain an esprit de corps and SOL
idarity of the State troops that they be
not separated and apportioned among
the strange troops of the regular army
but left together and allowed to retain
their own officers.
At the same time the leadership and
experience of the trained and seasoned
officers of the regular army is not to
be despised and is something the mill
tiamen will find of great benefit to
them when the actual work for which
they enlisted is to be tackled.
These little clashes and jealousies.
let us hope, will be forgotten or har-
monized in action or in the hardships
of the service. At the start when the
Importance of the recruit is somewhat
magnified in his own eyes, they are
probably unavoidable. especially in this
free and democratic country where
every man carries his sovereignty I'M
der his hat and every private may
aspire to become Communicating Chief
