of Lieut.. Gen. Schofeld, y. S. A., re-
tired; Admiral John 6. Waller, U. S. N,
retired, both of whom warmly advocated
the annexation of Hawaii. Ex-Minister
Thurston was also present. Gen. Soho
field was asked as to the cost of fortify,
ing tho islands and said he believed that
$500, 600 would be all that was necessary
to establish adequate Notifications. Some
discussion was had as to the especial ad,
vantage of possessing the Hawaiian ISL
ands In view of the present condition of
affairs in the Philippines Admiral
Walker concurred in the views expressed
by Gen. Schotield. He said that the ex-
petition now being organized by the gov

have to stop at Honolulu and it could
not stop there if Hawaii was neutral and
that Hawaiian neutrality would be ex.
tremely injurious to the United States
Gen. Schofield said that il the expedite

the Philippines the amount of extra coal
to be carried would displace one third

the matters of repair. When he took hold
in January with a view of remedying
the defects. he said he noticed that the
dock had settled. At first it was his be-
lief that this was due to some lndermin-
ing current or surface flow unprovided
for in the plans. A thorough investiga-
ton, however, revealed openings in the
sheet piling and outer gate stills. Incan-
descent lights were then placed in the
interior and some openings due to inferi-
or workmanship or carelessness were
found. He declared that attempts had
been made to cover up these shortcomings
by the introduction of concrete. 1t was
evident that the sheet pi1ing had not been
water tight from the outset, The cues

nave illuminated in war with Spain and
our own beloved country.
Whatever maybe the individual opin-
IONS OF members of the declaration of
war, there ought not to be two opinions
as to the duty of every loyal American
cl1lzen. A resort to arms was determined
upon by the chief executive of the nation.
with the advice of both houses of Congress-
ana after consultation with his cabinet
o1ncers, but not until every effort had
been exhausted to bring about an honor

Inc patient, calmnegs, the dignified for

OF the Maine and the declaration are be-

our duty to labor and pray for the tenn.

close of this.war, every priest shall, in
his daily mass, pray for the restoration
of peace by the glorious victory of our

the brave soldiers and sailors that fell
in battle be said every day after mass.
These prayers shall be said aloud with
the people and shall be one "Our Father

We pray that God may bless and pre-

SPANIARDS AS SEA FIGHTERS.
(From the Providence journal. }

(From the Providence Journal
The British have had many sea fights
with the Spaniards, and they have poor
opinion of them, both as antagonists and
as seamen. In his Naval History of Great
Britain" Capt. Brenton made the follow
ing uncomplimentary allusion to them:
I'm consequence of our seizure of the
Spanish frigates in October, 1904. the
king of Spain was very easily induced
to join Napoleon in his hostility to Eng
land. A force of 80 sail of the line in the
ports of the peninsula, with six months
provisions and 5000 troops, would appear
formidable in a French or English news
paper, but nowhere else. l have seen
Spanish line-of- battles "a hours in I'M
| mooring; as many minutes are sufficient
for well-manned British ship to perform
the same operation. When on any grand
ceremony they found it necessary to cross
their topgallant yards in harbor, they be-
gan the day before; we cross ours in one
minute from the deck. But as enemies,
the Spaniards have rarely deserved our
notice"
Lord Cochrane-who at one time in his
distinguished naval career:was an admiral
in the Chillian service and for whom the
CHILEAN battle ship Almirante Cochrane
| is named-when young officer, in com
mand OF the British brig Supply, brought
to action and. captured q Spanish vessel of
| superior force The Spanish commander.
expecting to be brought before court of
| inquiry when he reached Spain, asked his
captor to record in the ships log that he
had made brave resistance before sur
rendering Lord Cochrane did SO, but
added qualifying clause to the effect
that he had fought we'll for Spaniard. -

When the Frenohmen saw the latter flag

When the Frenchmen saw the latter flag
they did not bother with the little vessel
and the Englishman escaped.
During the war of 1912 an English cap
tain made himself great deal of trouble
through fear that some of the sailors on
board his ship might pull down his flag
before ne had beaten the enemy. just
before the battle he ordered sailor to
climb to the top of the mast and nail the
flag there. The American ship proved
the better, and before long the English
man wanted to surrender, but when he
wished to pull his flag he couldn't. The
sailors were busy fighting, SO the captain
himself had to climb the mast and tear
down the British ensign.
There have bsen instances where the
commander of a ship nailed his flag to
the mast and left it flying there until the
vessel sank. The last object which ap-
peared above the water was thu colors,
and even the victorious enemy cheered
the sinking flag.
