SPANISH COMMISSIONERS WEIGH WORDS
Terma Inserted in Protocol to Spare
Their Pride Are Seized and
Twisted I'm Their Final
Despair.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE. adminis-
tration is well satisfied now with the OUT
look for a successful termination Of the
labOrs of the peace commissioners in Paris.
Whether this renewed confidence Is based
upon an abstract of the Spanish reply which
was submitted at yesterdays meeting or
Is founded on private advices indicating a
weakening of the Spanish position Is not
known, but 1t Is probable that both Of these
had an influence in Frightening the pros
poets. The Spanish reply was not a sur
prise to the American commissioners, who
in fact had prepared themselves in ad-
vance with Instructions received directly
from the president and Secretary Hay for
a complete answer
Still 1t was probably regarded as better
policy and In accord with the amenities Of
official exchange that the Americans should
do. the Spanish commissioners the courtesy
OF giving deliberate consideration to their
carefully prepared written arguments. But
with all due intent to give proper weight
to the Spanish representations. 1t must be
said that up to this point they have had
very little effect in. influencing the American
commissioners not because Of any obstinate
disregard Of facts on their part, but for
the simple reason that almost every one OF
the points made by the Spanish commits
sioners have been anticipated in the prepa-
ration of the American case, no small trip-
ute to the acumen and diligence of Judge
Day and Secretary John Moore.
The attempt Of the Spanish commissioners
70 induce the Americans to accept their con-
struction Of the meaning Of the protocol,
where it touches ON the Philippines. has been
a fiat failure. The president himself was
party to the preparation Of the protocol. 1t
was he who. suspecting n purpose on the
Spanish side to becloud the issue and leave
open a door for future escape from the con-
sequences OF the war. had swept aside as SO
much chaff the message Of the Spani b duke
Almodovar de Rios. and. reducing the de-
mands Of the United States to what he
called a precise issue, had declared tha'
the Spanish government might accept tina
as an exact statement OF the demands o.
the United States. Having made the docu.
ment, the president believes himself to bt
the person best competent to con-
strue its meaning and the American comm.s.
sioners are consequently acting In con
formity with his views.

To Have Fever Experts.

Another means Of coping with the disease
probably will be the stationing Of a force
OF fever experts throughout the island to re.
port on the conditil n OF contagion and the
appearance Of any new outbreak. The sur
geon general now has two Of these experts
at Havana and one at Santiago, and this wi
be the nucleus Of a much larger force. Two
other experts, Surgeons Wasdin and Ged-
dings. left here yesterday for Havana. rails
ing the force there to four officers, besides
the subordinates and assistants. The work
Of Messrs. Wasdin and Geddings is consid-
cred particularly important, as they are
specially appointed BY the American CON-
mission to ascertain the causes OF yellow
fever. This appointment was made about a
year ago and the experts have opened
laboratories and conducted their inquiries
at New Orleans and Havana. The work at
Havana was interrupted by the war, but
the laboratory outfit did not suffer durins
hcstilities and they, now return to resume
Ethe a Investigation %eTheir preliminary re-
port to the surgeon general. submitted a
few days ago, Is said to be one OF the most
important contributions to medical science
made in recent years, as 1t practically sus-
tains the Sanaralli theory that yellow fever
is the outgrowth Of a certain organism.
This is not yet the positive conclusion OF
the United States commissioners. but Sur
geoh Geddings reports that in his expert
ments he has found that 76 per cent OF the
| yellow fever cultures had the organisms
described by Sanarelli. DR.. Geddings sup
plements his report by recommending tina,
as the bacillus interoids of Sanarelli is in
| dicated to be the cause of yellow fever, ex-
| periments DO made on lower animals with
the Sanarelli toxlnes. The work already
d ne by the two experts gives promise to tht
officials here that the complete invest cation
will make a marked contribution to the
problem Of preventing and curing yellow
fever.

TO COPE WITH YELLOW FEVER
Fear Of Recurrence Of Disease from Free
Intercourse with Cuba.
ISLAND To Be COMPLETELY QuAHANTlNft
Authorities VIII Undertake sanitR-
ton on Large Scale to Insure
Protection tO United
states.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-The yellow
fever problem has been receiving earnest at
tention Of late from the officials here, par.
ticularly from the Marine hospital service
and the War department, owing to the i'm.
portant new relations established with Cuba
and other fever localities to the south OF us
and also because OF the recurrence o; the
disease within this country during the last
ufnmer. Ia ~ a.i.-- 1856 ' 'if.
The purpose Is to prepare during the
coming winter months for such an EN-
Client Gordon Of protection around the coun-
try that the chances OF a re-int.oductlon OF
the disease will be reduced to a minimum,
while at the same time the points Of In
lection in Cuba and elsewhere will be 50
improved by sanitation and guarded by
quarantine that the main sources Of danger
Will be removed. Already the Marine hos
pital service has. begun Its work OF estab-
fishing q Gordon OF quarantine around Cuba.
A large floating disinfecting plant is in
operation In Havana harbor and a similar
floating disinfectlng plant Is at Santiago, al
tn. ugh not yet In operation. These are to
take charge Of the shipping coming TO
American ports and put it through such
thorough disinfection that all fever germs
will be removed. Similar floating plants
will be established at all other large COM
mercial points and such rigid rules put in
force that the shipping will be free from
danger before 1t is out Of Cuban, waters.
although the same rigid quarantine al
American ports will be continued.
Besides the quarantine. to provide agains,
the escape Of disc asses from the island, the
authorities are now considering plans for
the Internal sanitation OF the island on an
extensive scale. What branch OF the serv-
Ice will have that in charge Is not ye,
settled. Surgeon General Wyman says the
Marine hospital service will undertake the
work If it Is desired. but as
Cuba will DO under military
rule for many. months to come. tn,
War department may determine to carry or

other branches Of military occupation ant

HOME LIFE IN HAWAII.
Advantages for Education Avail
able in the Islands.
Farm Crops Tint Cnn De Grown Prof
itnbly-Description of the Real
ly Beautiful Rural
scenery.
Especial saa Francisco Lctter.l

Much as has been written concerning
Hawaiian scenery, it is a subject about
which literature can never be exhaust
ed. People of all nations and all cli-
mates are still continuous in their
praise of the tropical verdure and
scenery that can be found in the midst
of the Pacific ocean. There has been
resident in the island for some time
o Scotchman-Mr. Charles II Ewart, of
Dalbeattie, Scotland-whose soul was
moved by the beautiful vision which
he describes in the following poetic
language:. "Wc are in an amphitheater
of mountains rising to an altitude of
1000 and 1000 feet, with glowing
raiment of leaf and blossom from base
to summit, save in spots, where the red
earth peeps through the radiant cur
tain, as foil to the flames of iridescent
greens, and the fire of the blossoms
that have embodied the hills in their
shining embrace. Here and there a
pinnacle, where no plant has found
grace to grow, stnndS out a purple sill
houette against the soft blue of topaz
tinted sky Caves and fissures are cleft
in the sleeps of these mountain walls,
and torn from the nearly perpendicular
cliffs which surround it, alone and
apart, stands pillar of stone 90 yards
wide at the base, nearly 1000 feet high,
and pointing 'Godward through the
blue like the spire of some mighty
cathedral. This monolith, carved and
fashioned by some bygone convulsion
of nature when the hills 'glared at
heaven through folds of fiery hair is
swathed in glorious garment of green
and gold, chequered with the rose and
the azure of the bells of the convolvoli,
that dangle from the Gordon of vines
that engird it."
The valley in the early morning may
be clear of mists, and soft mountain
breeze murmuring above the foliage,
but at times it is filled with the noise
less ebbing and flowing of white vapor
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1898-01-18

borne in from the sea, and out of this
shimmering sea of mist the towers and
minarets of the mountains arise clothed
with mosses and ferns, and draped with
garlands of eddying vines, that cover
the faces of the cliffs, and droop over
the edges Of giddy precipices in "cat-
aracts of bloom" till they are swal-
lowed up in the white mists that
choke the vale, and blot the sides of
the bewildered hills"
Although sugar cane is Indigenous
in Hawaii, little attempt was made to-
ward it's cultivation until 1885, when q
plantation was started at Kauai, and
several sugar mills were built, These
mills were worked by the aid of mules
and oxen, and the process was slow
and laborious. What a contrast TO the
mills Of the present day, where the
cane Is taken and made into crystals of
sugar. There Is no royal road to wealth
in Hawaii, and anyone who anticipates
such condition had better stay away.
No man can 60 blindfolded and pick
up dollars in the streets. but no coun-
try offers a better opportunity and
| final reward for honest, earnest and
constant labor. Especially is this true
in the coffee industry. The pretty
homes and coffee areas of Olaa are an
evidence of this.
Butter Is selling in Hilo at one dollar
n roll. 1t is quoted in San Francisco
ut 16 cents to "a cents n pound. There
every field is as dry us bone. In Ha-
wall every field is perpetually green.
The dairy business offers a much bet
ter opening than any line of merchan-
dising. And as a by-product to the
dairy, hogs will pay magnifcently
Pork is retailing at 25 cents a pound
The advertising columns of the local
papers tell curious story of the
strangely backward condition Of some
of the smaller industries. Ex-Australia:
Peaches, plums, ora nges. apples, grapes
nectarines, lemons, celery, caulifiow
ers, potatoes, cheese, roll butter, crat
apples, ounces, onions" These arr
imported from a country over 2,0ot
miles distant.
The Hawaiian inspector general o
schools, Mr., Henry Schiller Townsend
speaking of the educational system o
the islands. says that the population
of the Hawaiian islands is small ant
the school system Is necessarily small
The total population exceeds 10000
slightly, of which $4,000 were attend

ing school at the end of last year. Ten
thousand were in tho public schools.
Fifty-six per cent. of al the children
attending school at that time were o.
native Hawaiian descent, and 25 per
cent. were Portuguese. The remair.-
ing 10 per cent. represent a large num-
ber of natioralities.
The English language is practically
the only language as means of COM
munication or instruction in the Ha-
waiian schools. And here lies the DIFF
ficulty of the work. just imagine the
teachers of California trying to teach
the children of that state through the
Arabic language. Yet English is prob
ably as difficult for the children of
Hawaii as Arabic for these of Cali
fornia. History, literature, natural
science and even arithmetic must be
taught under great difficulties. Edu-
cative instruction under these condi-
tons is a well-nigh unsolved problem.
But conditions are rapidly changing.
The English language is coming into
use as d means of communication
among the graduates of the common
schools, many of whom have no other
language in common. Thus it is creep
ing into the homes of the people even.
When the children learn even crude
English from their mothers, the teach
er's tasks will be much simplified.
For many years there have been
schools in Honolulu and Hilo especial
" adapted to the needs of the children
Of Eng,ish-speaking parents. Lately
similar schools have been opened in a
number of other localities, and still
others will be opened shortly. These
are not essentially different from
schools of similar grade in America.
y regular public high school is in
progress of organization in Honolulu,
the greater number of the departments
being already in working order. The
endowed institution known as Oahu
college has long offered full prepare
ton for any college in America, and
many of its graduates have entered
leading American colleges on advanced
standing.
But the English-speaking children
Go n3t enjoy monopoly of the privil-
eyes of education beyond the common
school course. The Kamehameha
schools, with their magnificent equip
ment and no less magnificent endow-
ment, are open to these of native HG-
waiian blood, and to no others. Manual

PYGMIES IN AFRICA.

They Are Found In the Mysterious He
sions of the Upper Nile.
1t is no longer possible to class as
myths the pygmles of whom the poet
Of the Iliad speaks in his stories of their
wars with the storks. They are found
in the mysterious regions of the Upper
Nile. The antique literature of Greece
has achieved brilliant triumph. Stan
ley revealed the existence of the lit
tie creatures. At first they attracted
the attention only of a small number
o. nnthropologists. who began investi-
cations concerning the dwarfs. Now
they have become interesting to all.
1t is believed that the Wambouttis of
the dark continent are brothers Of the
Accas of the Batouas, who live in the
shadows of the Mountains of the Moon,
and of the bushmen of Cape Colony.
BY mingling with other tribes, the lat
ter have added to their stature. Cousins
have been discovered in other portions
OF the earth. DIR. Ernst Haeckel, pro-
fessor Of the University of Jena, writ
ing of the primitive inhabitants of Cey-
lon, shows points of affinity between
the last survivors OF the Weddas in the
forests of the "Island of Paradise" and
the dwarfs recently discoveredin Afri-
ca. Investigations undertaken in the
neighborhood of Schaffhouse, 500 years
ago, have led to the discovery of skele.
tons Of five fossil pygmies. Prof Beech.
