War Or Peace
The People Still Have Hopes
of a Settlement
Spaniards at Havana Are AnxoA
War.

New YORK, April Peace has ev
partisans among Spain's official repre-.
sentatives in Havana. For a day or
two "a sentiment friendly to the ac.
cepting of the intervention of the
United States and the indemnity
proposition was entertained. The
change in sentiment is significant as
rejecting the feeling at Madrid. 1t
interpreted here as a sign that the
Sagasta ministry cannot save Cuba
except Ly war.
The Spanish population continues
to have its appetite whetted for hos
tilties through the talk of those in
authority tclOSe to Blanco. They
charge that the "faithless Yanke So
are now exposed to all the world; that
after Spain's concession Of autonomy,
the unwllingness of the United
States to give il further time is proof
of territorial greed. When sentiments
of this kind are put forth by high Of
ticers, their influence is bad
The defenses around the city have
been strengthened. While some of
the many batteries and forts are anti
quated 'defenses in their entirety,
they are not to be despsed. BY great
efforts enough material has been pro-
cured to make them of utility. Am
munition is no longer lacking.
Consul General Lee has received no
hint from Washington to arrange for
Americans to leave Havana or pre-
pare for his own departure. The Fern
is in the harbor, steam up, and two or
three tug boats are available in case
of emergency, However, no immediate
emergency is anticipated, and Ameri-
cans are not apprehensiye of their per-
sonal safety. The consuls in the diff
ferent parts Of the island do not re-
port danger. While the loyal Spanish
feeling is high, it has not yet taken
the form of demonstration against in
dividuals,
The Hayana people think they find
some bad symptoms among the ignor-
ant, but they are warned in time and
declare they have taken necessary
precautions. The guard around the
American consulate has been in
creased and General Lees movements
are guarded by a special detail of
police, but without offensive inter
ference.

quarantine one month, works grea
hardship to persons wanting to leav,
the island. From the standpoint O
health there is no justification for it,
Yellow fever has practically died out
and no danger of carrying contagior
exists.
The autonomist cabinet has prob.
ably fulfilled its last function in ap-
proving the plea made by Galvez to
President Mckinley against interven n
tion, unless it be to uphold Spanish
sovereignty under the guise of auton-
omy. That document was meant for
reading outside of Cuba. Here the
conditions are so we'll known that it
eXcites ridicule among the supporters
Of the government. Autonomy is
dead and Spanish sovereignty par
alyzed.
The members of the autonomist cab
met realize their day is past. They
know that so far as Gomez and the
insurgents seeking armistice is con.
cerned, no proposition will be received
from the insurgents for an armistice
unless accompanied by concession of
independence,
AT first it was thought the autOno
mist cabinet might be used as a foil
in making a pretense of carrying out
Blancos order permitting the recon
centrados to return to their homes ia
the country, The hollowness of that
order was apparent so soon that prep
arations could not be made. The
reconcentrados receive neither food nor
money'from the government, because
it has neither to give. They will not
receive mllinary protection, because
the military authori ties are impotent
to give it. The immediate necessities
of the reconcentrados have been met
by food supplies from the United
States. If the agencies of distribu-
tion are not renewed within the
ten days, enough American relief will
be distributed for month; after that
their fate is mystery.
The tone of the Havana newspaper
press grows more Violent, if that were
possible. All the papers are filled
with bitter attacks on Americans,
with abuse of President Mckinley
and congress, and charges of perhdy
against the United STATES. They
have succeeded in raising public ex
pectation to such an extent that
grave disappointment will be felt if
war is averted. One or two Of these
papers frankly declare that war
means loss of both CUBA and Porto
Rico, but that it is the only policy
consistent with Spanish honor
This is not the popular view, The
Spanish classes prefere to believe that
the European powers will interve ne
and complete peace on basis that
will save the island. That is one |
reason why anxiety for hostilities is
so pronounced. Any suggestion of
action by congress is bitterly resented.
Very little is known of what congress
has said or done during the week, aud
little is likely to be known of what it
loes next week. The press censor
ship sees that too much news from
Washington is not printed.

ROME April Sit is stated in yat-
ican circles today that the pope has
not formally offered to mediate be-
tween Spain and tie United States.
1t is true, however, that the pontiff
conveyed to Madrid his ardent wish
for avoiding a conflict, and has asked
Spain to arrange for suspension of
warlike measures or decisions.
WAsHINGTON, April 5.--President
Mckinley announced to a leading
member of congress that there was
no truth in the reported mediation
of the pope in the Cuban incident.
He also announced that he was hourly
expecting telegram from the Sa-
gasta government notifying this gov
ernment Of the offer Of formal prop
osition Of armistice to the insurgents.
WASHING TON, April 5. Senor
Queseda, representing the Cuban
junta in Washington, said to the As
Sociated Press:
"The Cubans will meyer consent to
an armistice until their independence
is recognized. Until that time they
will not cease fighting. When inde-
pendeuce is recognized the Cubans
will consent to an armistice for set
tlement of conditions in the island"

MADRID, April 5.-The pope has
sent an eloquent telegram to the
queen regent urging Spain to grant

her majesty to take action on hui

he asked for suspension
Of hostilities.
Previous to taking this action. it is
added, the pope through a representa-
tive at Washington asked President
Nc Kinley if it would be agreeable to
him should the pope adYise the queen
regent to grant an armistice, and it is
the president expressed a

James \. Low has resigned from the

take effect on July LIST. His successor
will be William Henry of Kaneohe.
Mr.. Low will in future interest him
self in the new IIalawa plantation.
Mr.. Low, on first coming to the

kalau plantation, and has always TIA

raj progress of the country. Even
while acting as warden of the Jail, he
has been connected with agricultural
enterprise. though he could not give
il his personal attention.
As warden, Mr.. Low has a splendid
record, and his ideas upon prison re-
form are excellent. Some he has ear
ried out, others he was preparing to-
carry out. In Mr.. Low the Hawaiian
public loses a most efficient and
praseworthy officer.
