HAWAII STANDS BY Us.
The Island Government Will Not
Proclaim Neutrality.

Honolulu, May H. via San Francisco,
May 1.-THE Hawaiian government
will not proclaim neutrality This stand
is taken on account of the existing re-
latiOns between the United States and
Hawaii. The executive considers that
a proclamation of neutrality would be
a breach of good faith. The govern
ment made known its position yester-
day al a secret session of the senate.
1t is understood that the senators IA
vored the stand taken by President
Dole.
Another important matter considered
at the same session was the occupation
bill which, if ratified by the senate, will
allow the United States to raise the
American flag over the island and use
the same as a base OF supplies. This
mea asure is said to have been prepared
with the knowledge of the members of
the American senate committee on for
eign affairs and has had the approval
of President Mckinley. This bill was
received by the Hawaiian government,
but a short time ago and has had the
careful attention of President Dole and
his cabinet.
The members of the senate question:
ed the executive yesterday regarding
the foregoing measure. They were in
formed that the measure was under
consideration and that it would be I'M
wise to make it public at this time.
When the bill is given to the senate,
that body will ratify it at once; on this
point there does not seem to be any
doubt.

that Spain, through agents here, was
buying all the coal to be had in these
islands. The consul for Spain denied
the story and said that there was not
a word of truth in it.
That a coal famine is imminent there
can hardly be any doubt. Last weeks
stocks were lower than in many months,
scarcely 5000 tons being on hand, and
only one house has any coal for sale,
and will only consent to sell in quanti-
ties to satisfy immediate demands.
United States Consul Haywood has
been watching the situation keenly and
has strongly fortified Americas posi-
ton. He has $500 tons of coal on hand
at the present time and with two car
goes afioat bound for this port. In less
than a month the United States will
have 7,40O tons of coal at this port, a
very respectable amount. The steam
ship Rio Janeiro arrived from San
Francisco on the seventh, bringing
news of war between the United States
and Spain. Captain Nichols was seen
on board the Bennington shortly after
he had read his dispatches and also
after he had had an interview with
Minister Sewell and Consul General
Haywood. He said:

home news of the fate of the explorer
Herr Andree. If Andree is still living,
he expects to find him in Franz Josef
Land, towards which his balloon was
heading when it was sighted two days
after it's ascent. That Andree has per-
ished, Mr.. Wellman is forced reluctant
1y to believe; but the one chance of his
being still alive rests upon the fact
that he knew of the use of Cape Flora
as a supply station, and that he may
have succeeded in reaching that point
and keeping himself from starvation
and freezing.
A good many explorers and geograph-
ers, professional and amateur, nave

Fort De France, Island of Martinique
May 1.-THE manager here of the French
cable company explicitly denies the state
ment that dispatch filed by Captain Cot
ton of the United States auxiliary cruiser
Harvard was delayed "a hours at St.
Pierre, this island The manager ex-
plains the matter as follows:
Captain Cotton presented himself at the
office of the company at St. Pierre and
asked by what cable line cable messages
were transmitted to Washington. When
he was Informed that such messages went
by way of Fort De France and Hayti, he
refused to give US his dispatch, because a
Spanish torpedo boat was at that time at
Fort de France. Not taking into account
professional secrecy, he told the American
consul in the presence of NJ. La Lung,
that under these circumstances he pre-
ferred to give his dispatches to the Eng
hsh company in spite of the delay of "a
hours which they have to submit to on ac-
count of the accumulation of business on
the lines of that company.
Il protest against the statements made,
as we leave our offices open till midnight
or L O'Clock in the morning when neces-
Sary, while the West India company closes
at o'clock in the evening, local time. and
also because we do everything possible to
be agreeable to the American government,

when we have any.

Denver May 17.-From the tenor of
communications received by Colonel
Sumner during the past few days it
appears that the Indians in the depart

which are under his command are dis
displaying an unusual restlessness,
which does no good for the settlers in
the vicinity of the various reservations
The danger of an outbreak in Arizona
has become so imminent that Colonel
Sumner has ordered two troops of cav
airy from Fort Huachua to the Mexican
boundary line, with orders to move
along that line from Nogales, Ariz., to
the Gulf of California, observing a
strict patrol of the entire border. An
other troop has been ordered from Fort
Grant to Fort Huachua to garrison the
latter fort while the troops are in the
field and to be prepared to assist these
troops in case of trouble.

FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Cleveland Plaindealer.)


What is to be the future of the Phil
ippine islands? The victory achieved by
Commodore Dewey has raised this ques-
ton. To one fond of speculation the
field it presents is ample.
1t As quite evident that the Philip
pines will not be Spain's any more.
Spain would be unable to cope with the
fierce spirit of dnsurrection which its
misrule there has arrayed against it.
To return the islands to Spain after a
time would practically be to give them
over to anarchy.
But if the Philippines are not to be
Spain's again, whose will they be? They
long to the United States now. They
belong to it by right of conquest The
United States can dispose of them if it
sees fit. But to what European power
can it dispose of them without exciting
the jealousy of the other powers and
threatening the peace of Europe? Ger
tainly not to England. Perhaps no fault
would be found if little, inoffensive Hol-
land got them. Holland is one of the
most successful colonizers in the world.
It holds extensive possessions and new
er has any serious trouble with them
But should the United States keep the
Philippines? 1t seems likely that the
fed to see them in the hands Of the
United States than in the hands of any
one of their own number. The United
States has a very extensive trade with
the Philippines. 1t would give the is
lands a good government. 1t would
develop their resources. They would
greatly increase the influence of the
United States in a part of the world
where events of the first Importance
seem likely to occur.
But it might also be said that the
present war was not entered upon as a
war of conquest. 1t was expressly dis
claimed that the United States took up
arms with any notion of extending its
domain. Also the question might be
raised if the United States could enun-
ciate the Monroe doctrine as authori-
tatively as in bygone days, if it ac-
quired territory in a distant part of the
world. Would there be the weight in its
claim of supremacy in one hemisphere
after aggrandizing itself in any degree
in another?
But whatever shall seem to be the
best policy of the United States to pur-
sue with reference to the islands, it will
develop in due time. The plain duty of
the United States now is to hold them
and properly govern them until the
close of the war makes the settlement
of their future an immediate necessity.

Et. Mcpherson.
Atlanta, Ga, May 17.--The 20 Spanish
officers and privates, prisoners at Fort
Mcpherson, are kept under close guard.
1t was expected that the officers would
be paroled and, in fact, it was so stated
here, but the officers as we'll as the pri-
Yates are under surveillance. They are
confined in the guardhouse and their
only exercise is secured in walking to
the mess room for their meals The Of
fcers are served at a separate table,
but the privateS eat at the table with
their guards-the negroes of the Twen-

The Span1ardS have no interpreter and
their wants are made known by one of

BUYERS, EXCURSIONS.

(From the Columbus, o., State Journal.)
1t is hoped the plan for the proposed
series of buyers excursions into Co1um-
bus, under the arrangement offered by
the board of trade will be adopted.
Last season an effort in this direction
was made by this organization, but it
was not seconded by the railways run
ming into the city, who feared to antag-
onize other places along their lines by
diverting trade to the capital city.
Some amicable arrangement should
be made by the merchants and railroads
that will result in the running of
number of buyers excursions to Colum-
bus the present summer. There is no
doubt that they would be profitable, not
only to our mercantile interests, but al
so to the roads themselves. They would
enable out of town merchants to take
advantage of the reduced prices that
our dealers are able to quote to pros
pective buyers and be beneficial to
small merchants as well as to others.
Buyers excursions were planned and
carried out by the merchants of Phil
adelphia and New York last summer,
and millions of dollars worth of goods
were sold that would not have other
wise been disposed of. There is no good
reason why the success of this trade
enterprise should not be duplicated on
portunity is an inviting one, and we
hope to chronicle the complete success
of the plans under contemplation.

CHINA'S BONDS BROKEN.
The Dowager Empress Appears With
out Paint or Veil

Pekin, May 1.-THE visit of Prince
Henry of Prussia to the Emperor of
China was a great event in the history
of Pekin- The prince and his suit went
to the summer palace mounted on po-
nies and accompanied by an escort of
marines on foot.
When the prince and his companions
arrived at the palace they were con-
Quoted to the temple, where their clothes
were changed. Prince Henry and Bar
on Won Hoyking, the German minister
here, then visited the empress dowag-
er, who asked them innumerable Ques-
tions.
They afterwards visited the emperor,
who received Prince Henry and his
whole suit in the grand audience hall.
The emperor was nervous and his hand
was trembling as he shook hands with
the prince. who offered him a present of
some magnificent porcelain.
After short exchange of compli-
ments, the emperor walked to the en-
trance hall, where the marines were
drawn UP. The rafting drums caused
the emperor a momentary start. The
prince then left the emperor, and with
his suit embarked on board electric ana
steam launches on the lake and visit
ed the different points of interest. La
ter the prince returned to the audience
hall, where the emperor returned his
visit, bringing with him most valuable
and beautiful presents of vases or 1ade
and clOiSonne ware ana two fanS paint

After a private conversation, lasting
a considerable time, the prince left the

TT MAKES THEM TIRED
Senators Protest Against Keeping
Warships Around Boston.

Washington, May Ex-senator Gray
and other influential men have made
strong protest against the cruiser Co
lumbia and other fine warships being
kept on the New England coast, when
the enemies. ships are in southern wa
ters. Senator Gray had business with
the president today and called his at
tention to the matter.
1T is stated that these ships are kept
on the New England cOas to allay ap-
prehension,' said Senator Gray. "Well,
that is all foolishness. Here those ships
are kept on this coast when there is not
a particle of danger, while the Spanish
squadron is not far from southern wa
ters. I do not believe that anybody
has an idea that the Spanish fleet would
attempt to sail 5000 or 1000 miles from
its present position to attack the New
England coast and be without a base
of supplies when it got there. While
our ships remain on the New England
coast the southern coast, much nearer
to the Spaniards, is unprotected. So
is the coast of the middle Atlantic
states. Our ships should be with one
or the other squadrons."
1t is said that several other New Eng
land senators take the same ground as
that of Mr.. Gray.
