He tells an interesting story of when his
life was in danger during his pioneer days.
He says:
"About November /, 1894, on starting to

unable to move. The pain increased and

LETTER FROM GOMEZ.

The Old General FavOrs Creating Cuban
National Guard.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 8.-Following is
Senior Quesada from General Gomez,
written Oct. 20:

promises made by the congress of Wash
ington and for that reason do not
have any fears for the independence Of
Cuba. Some time must elapse before
our ideal is realized, but after SO many
struggles and privations we can wait a
little longer.
'sThe military occupation by the
United States is to certain extent nee
essary to prepare and hurry the evacua-
ton of the Spanish and to bring about
harmony among the different factors in
Cuban politicians.

ssMost of the officers and soldiers went

not abandon them until their future is

they had; they have a right to some
compensation, and, above all, to their
salaries; the new government must Sc
! cure them. The disarmament cannot
occur until the Spaniards have evacu-
ated; my men cannot be abandoned
without bread or work to the mercy of
their enemies. A solution could be
found, perhaps, in the plan which the
American government is said to have,
Of creating national guard formed Of
the majority of Cuban soldiers. This
organization would offer the advantage
of not exposing the American troops tc

PARIS, Nov. S.-The newspapers here,
commenting upon the announced inten-

the Marchand mission to evacuate Fa-
shoda, say they must wait for the decla-
ration of the minister of foreign affairs,
M. Delcasse, before pronouncing an
opinion on the subject. But they point
out that this check has caused painful
impression throughout the country.
The ministerial policy announced by
the premier, M. Dupuy, in the chamber
of deputies, has been generally we'll re-

tacks on the army, are approved and the

Fifty-sixs per cent. of all the children
attending school at that time were of
native Hawaiian descent. and 25 per
cent. were Portuguese. The remain
ing 10 per cent. represent large num-
Der of uationaIities.
The English language is practically
the only language as a 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 those of Cali
fornia. History, literature, natural
science and even arithmetic must be
taught under great difficulties. Edu-
cative instruction under these condi-
tions is a well-nigh unsolved problem.
But conditions are rapidly changing.
The English language is coming into
use as 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
ly adapted to the needs of the children
of English-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.
4 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 prepara-
ton for any college in America. and
many of its graduates have entered
leading American colleges on advanced
standing.
But the English-speaking children

Especial San Francisco Letter.

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 eli
mates are still continuous in their
praise of the tropical verdure and
scenery thatscan be found in the midst
OF the Pacific ocean. There has been
resident in the island for some time
a Scotchman-Mr. Charles FL. Ewart, of
Dalbeattie, Scotland-whose soul was
moved by the beautiful vision which
he describes in the following poetic
language: I'VE are in an amphitheater
Of mountains rising to an altitude of
5000 and 1000 feet, with a glowing
raimcnt 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, stands out purple sill
houette against the soft blue of a topaz
tinted sky. Caves and assures 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 20 yards

annexation of Hawaii. and the fact
that the provisions of the joint resolu-
