A POLITICAL MOVE.

IL a Spanish fleet Is moving towards
Manila, 1t is done, probably, more for
a political than a military purpose. 1t
may anchor in any one OF the numer-
Gus harbors of the Philippines. with
out making any attack on the Amerf-
can ships. When Spain offers to close
the war with the surrender of Cuba,
and the disposition OF the Philippines
is discussed, Spain will say: 1--WE
occupy these Islands to the same ex-
tent that you do. You have no actual
possession of them. The occupation
Of Manilais not the occupation Of the
group" The argument will have
strong political effect, because 1t will
compel the United States to continue
war, not for the freedom Of Cuba,
but for the conquest of the Philippines.
The only way by which this ugly
political question can be kept out OF
the discussion is in the destruction OF
the Spanish fleet before it arrives at
the Philippines. No doubt the Wash
ington Government and Admiral Dew
ey well understand this move.
II the Spanish ships succeed in es-
Gaping the American vessels, and reach
the Islands, the situation may become
very complicated.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1898-07-08
SPANISH COURTESY.

Among the many eminent physi-
clans who attended the recent general
Congress, in Madrid, on the subject of
Hygiene. were three American repre-
sentatives.
One of the members from Paris, in
a letter comments on the courtesy of
the Spanish officials towards these
Americans. Although war existed be-
tween America and Spain, at no time,
in public or private, either at the re-
ception to the Congress given by the
Queen Regent, or at any of the pub
lie functions was there an act, or
speech, or suggestion by the Spaniards
indicating that the American repre-
sentatives belonged to a nation that
was mostly unjustly, in the eyes Of the
Spaniards, waging war against Spain.
This high bred courtesy, peculiar to
the Dons. is seen in the Cortes. In the
recent debates on the action of the
Americans, there is no evidence of
that hot blood, uncomfortable anger,
and impetucus debate which is so
common in the Latin Parliaments.
At the same time this enviable he
haviour is consistent with the exer-
else of cruel methods in warfare, and
the inhuman treatment of prisoners.

THE CABLE CONTRACT.

The contract granting to what is
known as the "Scrymser" company the
right to lay submarine cables from the
American coast to these Islands, and
the exclusive right, with some limi-
tations, to lay other cables from these
Islands to Japan, has been signed by
the Executive Council.
In every respect 1t Is a superior con-
tract to that made with Colonel Spald-
ing in 1895, a contract well known to
those who understood the situation at
that time, to be ill-advised and unior-
tunate.
The "Scrymser" company is COM
posed of men who furnish the very
best submarine service through the
West India Islands, and along the
western coast Of South America,
reaching into and connecting the South
American States with the world. Be-
hind these men Is the financial back
ing of the most powerful and reput-
able banking house in the United
States, J. Pierpont Morgan 4 Co.
II is fortunate for these Islands
that the business OF laying these
cables Is, at last, in the hands of these
| men. General Hartwell Is the resi-
dent counsel of this company and his
legal services have been of value to
It.
There has been strong and honest
opposition on the part of some men,
bers of the Government, to the grant
ing OF these rights to lay cables to
the Scrymser company. on the ground
that It might unfavorably affect the
relation OF the Islands to the United
States. But the provisions Of the con-
tract permit ~" government OF the
United States to protect Itself should
| il deem the contract unfayorable to
American interests.
| The law providing for the making OF
the contract. and the contract itself
Is largely due to the persistent and
intelligent efforts of Mr. w. G. Irwin
| Although he Is connected by marriage
with a prominent member OF the house
of ]. Pierpont Morgan & Co, he has
we understand, no financial interest
whatever in the cable matter. His
efforts are due to that connection, al
well as to his desire as a merchant,
resident and a member of the commun
ity. to take these Islands out Of thei'
isolated position and bring them into
the business world.
Cable communication Is now, prob
ably, only question of months an'
not one Of years. The Government o
the United States is not disposed t.
venture into submarine cable enter
prises, and 1t will no doubt facilitate
the undertakings OF the "Scrymser
company in every way.

MISCAICULATING.

Secretary of War, General Alger,
said in 1897, "in thirty days we could
put millions of fighting men in the
field and back them up with wall
of fire in the persons of the veterans"
The level headed soldiers know that
it could not be done.
Wonderfully active as the war de-
parlment is, 1t cannot drill men into
efficient soldiers in day or hu' bred
days, nor can 1t manufacture the
best modern rifles at moments no.
tice, or feed or clothe the men Of a
great army, until'it has trained and
experienced officers in the methods OF
feeding and clothing.
1t is the unfortunate and historical
remarks of men like Secretary Alger
that cause the noble fellows who en-
list and are willing to tight for the
country, to be poorly provided for,
badly fed, and clothed, until a lot OF
experience has been obtained at the
expense of disease, sickness and death

HOUSE.

At the morning session the President
sent down the current account appro-
priation bill. Two items were vetoed.
These were $4,000 each for mail sub
sidy to the Inter Island Steamship Co.,
and the Wilder's Steamship Co. After
considerable discussion the items were
passed over the Presidents veto and
sent to the Senate.
The expenses of the session were
approved. The total was $l5,SS7.6l
and the items were divided up into
pay OF members, $4,000, officers, $3.50;
printing. $2.0S2.40; expert accountant,
$1,643; short hand and type writing,
81 O59.lO; general, s505.07; translating,
S571; stationery, ETC., S2S4.64.
The House had postponed the resolu-
ton expressing the desire that the
flag and great seal Of Hawaii be pre-
served as the flag and great seal OF
the territory of Hawaii in the event
OF annexation. There was some oppo-
sition to the resolution on Wednes-
day, but this was withdrawn, allowing
enough votes to pass the resolution.
Several members spoke on the ques-
ton. Representative Loebenstein made
an eloquent plea for the preservation
Of the flag. He appealed to the pat
riotism of the members, TO the deep
undercurrent OF feeling which is more
than sentimentality. Should Hawaii
become a part Of the United States,
whether as state, or territory, or dis
| trict, the retention OF the national
| colors would be. not the mere selec-
| ton of banner or an ensign. II
would be the preservation OF a fias
| beneath which many members OF the
present Legislature had been born
beneath which trying scenes had beer
witnessed. The flag would represent
the absorption Of a sovereign Nation
by a greater Nation, the passing OF ar
individuality. At the close OF his
speech the Representative was ap
plauded. The resolution then passed
and was sent to the Senate.
At ~ O'Clock recess was taken Il

THE ANGLO-AMERICAN BANQUET

At the noted banquet at the Hotel
Cecil, in London, on June 3rd, given
in the interests of Anglo-Saxon unity,
Lord Coleridge presided, and the
honorable secretary of the committee
was DR.. c. r. Maxwell, the father of
DR.. Walter Maxwell of this city.
There was a trophy of American and
English flags. On this the Stars and
Stripes were CHARTERED with the Union
Jack. The combination was labelled:
Flag of the future" The French
names for dishes were entirely omit
ted. Each of 500 lauies and gentlemen
attending the dinner wore medallions,
with crossed American and English
flags, on which was the motto: One
tongue, one purpose. lnvincible in war,
triumphant in peace
The distinguished chairman, Lord
Coleridge said, among other remarks,
referring to the Revolutionary war in
America: 1T was a contest forced on
her by the folly of our King, and
the imbecility and subserviency of
his ministers" What was permanent
In the two races was good sense, love
of lair play, of liberty lying deep in
the rock beds"
Lord Brassey, speaking for the Colo
MES said that "all members of the
British --mpire. who dwell beneath
the Southern Cross were in full SYM
pathy with the Americans"
Col. Taylor said that the union OF
Great Britain and the United States
might be regarded by other nations as
isolation. II so, they were like the
Irishmen who said he preferred to be
alone, especially il his sweet heart was
| with him.
Still, all of these Heaven born senti-
ments, appearing on both sides of the
| Atlantic, are subject to strong sell
interests. The hope of the future Ii
that there will be harmony and mutual
benen,s in union. Neither nation Ii
yet prepared for union on any prin'
ciples laid down in the New Tesla
ment. The reign OF the Evil One II
not over. He has power enough Il
break up nearly all combination
against himself. He loves the numer
Gus Jingoes, and they wear his deco
rations.

unless II may show that II he was
deficient in the art Of love making,
he was more proficient In the att OF
war making. The incident. old ts 1t
Is, is brought to light by the Exarhiner
because 1t strikes the cords Of the
human heart"
Modern Journalism Is as daring as
Columbus on his voyages Of discovery.
II erects a Yellow Cross instead Of a
Red Cross, and knows mo creed, no
nation, no SEX" It finds the human
race famished for want Of gossip, and
generously puts the cup Of personal
secrets" to the lips Of the thirsty. II
does 1t, even II 1t has to lift the closed
eye lids OF the dead.
This heroism under the Yellow Cross
became most romantic and self sacri-
ficing, at the time Of President Cleve-
lands marriage, when the daring re-
porters followed the bridal couple one
hundred miles into the mountains,
then encamped on the lawn attached
to the house which they occupied. 1t
was triumph of the Yellow Cross,
when the correspondent Of the N. Y.
Tribune madly rode to the telegraph
station and sent the despatch to a
waiting nation: 20 a. m, President
Cleveland opened the blinds"
All! The people, they whose voice is
the voice Of God, demand this pre-
cious stun. It touches the personal
relations Of men and women. When
Science and Gossip knock at the door,
and send in their cards, Gossip Is ad-
mitted, but Science Is told to call on
another day.

THE OTHER SIDE OF IT.

The large majority of the volunteers
in the American army are young men,
who were born after the close of the
Civil War They know nothing Of its
rough experiences, and forbidding as
poets. The term war Is hell" to
them Is meaningless. To them 1t APP
pears sort of rough picnic, full of eX-
citing adventures. There Is undoubt-
ed intense patriotism but its roots also
feed on the love Of change and novel
~. The stern realities" wither up
the romance of war.
The "recollections of the Civil War"
by Sir William Howard Russell, now
being published recall to some of us
the awful experiences of 1861. He was
the special correspondent OF the Lon
don Times, in Washington. On ac-
count of his fair and truthful account
Of the battle of the first Bull Run,
which earned for him the intense hat
red of every loyal but excitable North
ern man, he was called then and since,
Bull Run Russell"
He had, as war correspondent of the
Times, a large experience during the
Crimean War, and was not far from the
spot, where the charge of the Light
Brigade" rode to death and immor-
tally. He was, therefore, a veteran
in comparison with the inexperienced
men and officers OF the Federal army
who had never seen a battle.
The awful disaster to the Northern
army, at Bull Run, was due largely &c
the fact, that General Patterson of that
army was not able to prevent Genera
Joe Johnston from joining his forces
with the other Confederate forces, ant
over matching the Union army. AnC
why? Because among other reasons
the enthusiastic young men, full o
patriotism at the time they enlisted
Tor only three months, and had neve
been IN battle, insisted on going HON
because their time was up, although
ON the eve Of the first battle, Russell
says; Il had seen on the evening @
Bull Run a magnificent regimen

Department said: They marched 0
