and lightly pro

unarmored cruisers and lightly pro tected gun positions.
 This gun of four inches caliber weighs, without it's mount, one and a half tons, or exactly 3400 pounds. Its length is 13.7 feet, and it's greatest outside diameter is thirteen inches, its total length of bore being 157.5 inches. and the length of rife bore 12S.12 inches. The twist of it's rif1ing begins at zero and increases to 1 in 25, there being thirty grooves. It fires a 33- pound shell with fourteen pounds Of smokeless powder, which develops 2 muzzle velocity of 2000 feet a second, and muzzle energy of 915 foot tons. Such a shot will Derforate a Finch plate near the muzzle, and will go clear through 5-inch plate at 1900 yards distance. Ordinary crews on all the gunboats get rapidity of fire of six a minute out of these finch rifles, four men handling the ammunition, while two sight the piece and fire it. This speed enables a 4-inch gun to throw as much weight in a given time as the 5-inch rife, which is practically twice it's size, the latter weighing three tons and firing under the best conditions four 50-pound shells in a minute The best penetration of the 5-inch rife is barely an inch more than that of the finch at all ranges, but in ten minutes the finch gun will throw sixty well-aimed shots, while the 5-inch canot be relied upon to throw more than thirty.-New York Tribune.

THE FOUR-INCH NAVY GUN.
A Most Popular Weapon for Offensive
 and Defensive Purposes

The main batteries of all the gun boats in the navy are made up of A. inch rapid-fire rifles, which are alto gether the most popular weapons in the service for offensive and defensive purposes on the lighter vessels The Castine, the Helena, the Machias, the Nashville and the Wilmington are each equipped with eight of these guns, while the Annapolis, the Mari etta, the Newport, the Princeton, the Vicksburg and the Wheeling each mount six of them. The Bancroft re- lies upon four, and the Dolphin upon two as their chief fighting powers. Even the formidable Iowa has six of them upon her superstructure to deter the approach of torpedo boats, and the armored cruiser New York mounts twelve in her secondary battery The fastest two vessels in the navy, the Columbia and the Minneapolis, have eight apiece, and the double-turret monitor Puritan is provided with six
 to support her four 12-inch monsters. The chief advantage of these guns lies in their extreme rapidity of fire and ease of manipulation, while their pen etrating power at all ranges enables their projectiles easily to pierce all

 The Red Cross movement is now at tracting general attention. throughout the civilized world. During the early days of the Franco-German war Miss Clara Barton, so widely known in this country for her relations with charit- able work, was invited 10 go to the field and see the work of the German Red Cross. She accepted the invita- tion, and since that date has devoted large portion of her time to the ad vocacy of Red Cross principles and methods. In this country the Red Cross has been most prominent in the relief afforded the sufferers from the Johnstown flood, the Mississippi floods and the raising of supplies for the famine stricken peasants of Rus sia. For nearly six months it afforded relief for nearly 6,000 negroes off the coast of South Carolina The work of Miss Barton in connection with the massacres in Asia Minor is also of re- cent date and is well known
 The war and navy departments of the United States accepted the tender of the services of the American na- tional Red Cross on the 9th of June, and representatives have now gone into various camps and also into Cuba under the supervision of Miss Barton who has already affected a landing The Red Cross steamer Texas was loaded months ago with food and hes pital supplies, originally intended for the relief of the reconcentrados. The mission of this steamer, however, ow- ing to complications of war could not be carried out, and Miss Barton now intends to personally superintend the relief of the sufferers for whom these supplies were intended and also sick and woundd soldiers and sailors.

The Presidents Nominees for the
 New Territory.

Washington, July S.-It is probable that President Mckinley will an nounce tomorrow the names of the Ha- waiian commissioners, who he IS to nominate under the provisions of the resolutions annexing the Hawaiian is lands. Unoffcially, it is understood that four of the five commissioners will be Senator Cullonh of Illinois, Senator Morgan of Alabama, Repre- sentative Hit of Illinois, and Presi- dent Dole of the present Hawaiian re- public. The fifth member of the com mission, 1t is reliably understood, will be a prominent member Of the Ha- waiian judiciary.

RED CROSS WORK.
How If Game About and Something
 of Its Interesting Career.

B. H. Warner of Washington, D. C., gives the. Star the following interest ing facts regarding the Red Cross so- (ciety:
 It does not indicate any religious creed. Briefly stated, the Red Cross
 stands for relief, and the work of the
 American national Red Cross now is
 to relieve the reconcentrados in Cuba, as we'll as our own soldiers and sail ors who may be sick or wounded. Its relief will be carried to every sufferer from war with whom any of it's agents come in contact
 The Red Cross had it's origin at or about the time of the battle of Solfer- ino in the Italian war of 1850. The formation of the society was suggested
 by M. Dunant, who witnessed the large amount of suffering incident to that terrible struggle, in which more than a quarter of million of men were engaged. A committee was formed in 1863 to consider the question of amel- iorating the suffering of the sick and wounded in the time of war; As a re- suit of the deliberations of this con-
 mittee and other conferences, a plan
 was adopted at a conference in Geneva
 in October, 1863, at which fourteen diff ferent governments were represented. Important measures were discussed at
 this conference
 A red cross with white ground was
 adopted as the insignia of the aid so- cieties. Resolutions were adopted as to the character of aid to be furnished and calling upon the different govern ments for cooperation. Since that time there have be1n wide discussions
 as to the purpose of the society Per haps one of the most important ac- complishments of the society vas the international treaty, signed as a con- ference held in Geneva, in August,
 1864, by the repres ntatives of twelve
 powers. This treaty was called the Geneva conventior. cMong it's most important provisions is the following:
 ''The belligerents must take care of the sick or wourd rded soldiers whom they may find, without distinction of nationality. Men who may be cured,
 but are incapable of serving again,
 must, if they belong to the enemy, be
 sent back to their own country instead of being kept as prisoners of var. lies tile acts must not be committed against dluUulduC6S dnu uOSpltdlS, HUI can they be appropriated if there are
 sick or wounded in them, and they are not guarded by military force. Am balances cannot be deprived of their material in any case; and patients dis charged from them are to be regarded as neutrals Hospital personnel, ad- ministrative as we'll as medical and re- ligious, is declared to be neutral, and
 it's members cannot be interrupted in
 the performance of their duties, nor
 kept in captivity. Inducements are
 held out to the inhabitants of these places where battles are fought, in or
 der that they may De encouraged to assist in the sanitary service of armies. Finally, for the personnel and material

 tain immunities, as sign by which they may be recognized, use should be

OUR SPANISH PRISONERS.
How They Are Being Cared For at
 Fort McPherson.

Within easy access of the city of Atlanta by electric cars. railway and the fine government highway, lies the splendid wooded reservation of Fort McPherson. It is regarded as one Of the safest inland Notifications in America. Here are kept the Spanish prisoners who have been captured by our war vessels-our first foreign prisoners of war thus confined since 1S12. It is named for Gen. McPher- son. Only a few soldiers are left as guards, and a lieutenant is ranking officer. It reminds one of nothing so much as a great university in the hol- iday time
 Three times day the prisoners are marched out across the sunny lawn to mess and back again. The privates move in wondering silence. The off, cers affect an indifferent air. Stall wart negro soldiers, stolid and silent. move in front and behind. At the meal hours the sergeants have orders to clear the fort of crowds, if any crowds gather. The management at Fort McPherson is admirable. The buildings are clean and airy, the

LONDON EDITORIAL COMMENT.

London, July 8.-The Times remarks editorially this morning: Admiral Sampson's brilliant exploit was as complete as Admiral Dewey's was. Nothing but the conviction that his plight within the harbor was hopeless could have justified Admiral Cervera's attempt to leave. Had he been able to judge correctly of what was passing in General Shafter's mind, doubtless he would have remained. The difficult ties of navigation probably caused him to make bold effort by daylight. It is not easy at this moment to fore see the wide consequences of the un- challenged supremacy of the American fleet in Cuban waters.

ENTHUSIASM IN PARIS.
The Destruction of Cervera's Fleet
 Causes Great Rejoicing.

Paris, July 8.-There is the great est possible enthusiasm in Paris over the victory of Santiago. The Ameri- can chamber of commerce gave ban Quet at the Grand hotel, at which 400 were present MT. Peartree, president of the chamber, was in the chair, and at his right sat General Horace Por- ter, the United States ambassador. All the members of the embassy were present.
 Among the prominent Frenchmen present were M Pallein, director of customs; M. Picard, director of the Paris exposition of 1900; NJ. Blanc, prefect of police of Paris, and M. Zolves, prefect of the Seine.
 MT. Peartree proposed the health of the president of the United States and then that of the president of the French republic, both toasts being en- Enthusiastically received. Referring to criticism passed by certain French papers upon the Hispano-Amereican war, he said he had never yet heard of a single instance where an American had not been received and treated ln France as before the war. When he invited M Mareujouis, the new min ister of commerce, to be present at the banuuet,r M. Mareujouis informed him, MT. Peartree continued, that the min isters in council to which the invita- tion was referred, agreed that 1t should be accepted and a speech made in the sense they desired, namely, with a view to dispell the belief that there was any hostile feeling in France and to affirm the friendship between the two nations.
 MT. Peartree concluded by declaline that it was no indiscretion for him to say that the two governments were now negotiating a treaty of commerce of wide scope, and that they had lately concluded a commercial arrangement which was only the first step in that direction. M. Mareujouis in the course of brief response, protested against false representations as to the exist ence of i'll will between the two coun- tries. He said he hoped the treaty ne gotiations would speedily result in an agreement giving reciprocal advan- tages. In conclusion he proposed Prosperity to American Commerce. ? General Porter responded to the toast of the anniversary, eloquently review inf the relations between France and America, "whose governments" he said, Continue in entire accord.'

GODDARD DEFEATED.
For Eight Rounds MaH1er Knew He
 Was in a. Fight.

New York, July S.-Peter Maher de- feated Joe Goddard tonight in eight rounds at the Lenox Athletic Club. The fight had been scheduled for twenty-five rounds with five-ounce gloves. Goddard had defeated Ma her on two previous occasions. and was the favorite among the sporting element in previous fights.
 Goddard administered a lot of hard punishment to his adversary, but re- ceived a terrible pounding while he was doing so. Goddard was out 8 couple of times, but the bell saved him. and when he quit toward the end of the eighth round he was scarcely able Ito stand on his feet. At the same time, the fast work which both had gone through from the beginning had told on Maher. and he was unable to land a blow heavy enough to knock out the Australian.

Hawaii Mel.

A very pretty song has been added
to Hawaiian music by the publish
ing of Hawaii Nei," a song which
will become very popular in these
Islands. The words are written by
Mrs. Haley, a sister OF Mrs. @. N.
Spencer, the relict of the late Minis
ter Spencer.
The words are touching and will
stir the cords of the hearts Of all
who wish to see Hawaii an independ-
ent country, and Hawaii for the Ha-
waiians.
The composer Of the sweet music
is Mrs. Teresa Bowler, who has
always been admired here for her
musical taste and culture-and her
patriotic feelings for this, her adopt
ed country.
The music is for sale at the stores
Of the Hawaiian News Company and
Wall, Nichols Co.
We publish herewith the words to
the song:
When the twilight softly fingers
And the shadows pale and die,
On the distant sloping landscape,
Meath the bending, brooding sky.
Then sit and gaze with feelings,
Much more deep than words can
say,
Thoughts so deep and feelings
tender
For our loved Hawaii nei.
CHoRUs.
Deep blue sea spread out before me,
Gently heaving to and fro,
Rock bound coast with white spray
dashing,
Pinkly touched by evening glow.
Distant land, blue mountains, ocean,
Twilight's tender lights display,
Best to me and in my heart is,
My love for Hawaii nei.
II in distant lands | wander,
Lands perhaps l long to see,
Still my thoughts will ever hover,
Dear adopted land, round thee.
Twilight's thoughts and twilight's
shadows,
Like all things soon pass away,
But my heart will never alter
It's love for Hawaii mel.

MORE GERMAN IMMIGRANTS.

Another batch Of German labor.
ers is expected to arrive by the
Marie Hackfeld, due here shortly.
Seventy men and women have been
induced to leave their homes in
West Prussia, Posen and Mecklen-
burg to cast their unhappy lots in
this semi-Asiatic country. In their
ignorance they believe the repre-
sensations mada to them by the
runners of their INSCRIPTIONS eoun-
trymen, who are obliged under our
labor laws to introduce a certain
number of European or American
laborers ia proportion to the Asiatic
coolies. The poor people at home
listen to the generous seducer, who
points future for them in Hawaii
in rosy colors and eloquently tells
them of the wonderful chances of
becoming rich, which they will find
here They foolishly submit to
the temptation. Their government,
so paternal otherwise, only knows
officially what its representative
writes about the conditions here,
and is ignorant OF the notorious
fact of the dual capacity of the mar,
who is Consul and plantation agent,
and who de facto becomes the en-
ployer Of tae deluded people upon
their arrival here Alasl the dream
Of wealth is soon dispelled, and
after few months work, say on
Lihue Plantation, the immigrants
wish themselves back to their poor
homes in West-Prussia or Posen,
and long for the growing of the
"Verwalter" at home after having
experienced the brutality of the
"luna" in their new land. The men
who Induced these ignorant people
to leave their homes, however poor
they may be, for the purpose of
shaving as contract laborers on the
plantations in Hawaii, assume very
grave responsibility which can no
longer be ignored by the home gov
eminent. In China, any man who
induces countryman to immigrate
to a foreign country under false pre-
lenses is decapitated. The German
Government can hardly go as far as
that "Official decapitation" is
within its power, however, and will
be considered highly appropriate
under present circumstances.

FALSE ECONOMY.

The present Legislature is adopt
ing the same fallacious policy, which
was condemned under the Mon
archy. While swelling the budget

wise men are showing their "econo-
nay" by cutting down the salaries of
the over-worked, under paid officials
who barely make living while their
over-paid. under-worked superiors
live in ease and comfort.

The striking out OF the salary for
the fourth clerk of the Supreme
Court is poor policy, and the rehec-
tions made on the clerical depart
ment Of the said Court by certain
representatives, are uncalled for, I'M
just and coming with very poor
grace from Representative Achi,
who, it is well-known, does not look
with favor on our highest tribunal
1t may be true that Chief Clerk
Henry Smith went to Maui some
weeks ago on private business. Is
Mr.. Smith not entitled to vaca-
ton? Are there no other officials
who attepd to "private" business
without being censured2 There is
no better conducted Office under the
government than that of the clerk
to the Supreme Court, and his pre-
sent staff has all they can do in
keeping their work up to date and
satisfying the public.

While one representative votes for
an increase Of the Presidents salary
and another one advocates more
money for the Cabinet, motion is
made and carried to reduce the
salary of the District Magistrate of
Lanai to the magnificent sum of So
a month. The statesman proposing
such reduction must be of the
kind, who knows all about running
a 7x9 hog ranch in the back woods,
and who cannot see beyond the tip
OF his nose. 1t may be true that
the Lanai judge has very little
to do, and that there is very little
litigation on the island. If so he
deserves great credit, and it is to be
wished that other districts will
follow the example Of Lanai. Magis-
trates are not appointed to go
around like roaring lions in their
districts and cause litigation. But
if they are told that their compen-
sation will be reduced, il they don't
get some "cases," they will very soon
arrange the matter with the nearest
policeman, and have the people of
the district arrested by the dozen
for swipe selling, manufacturing Of
sour potato cocktails, adultery and
other offenses not unusual in the
"outer" districts The magistrate
and police will then be busy and
earn more than So a month, and
each case will cost the Government
at an average of $500. That is the
kind of economy which our Solons
preach.
