SPAIN WANTS CDBANDEBT
WILL SELL THE ISLAND TO THE
UNITED STATES.
The Hidalgo's Being Beaten Want a
Salve for Wounded Honor.

NEW YORK, October 16.-The Her
AIDS Washington correspondent has
sent the following:
While firmly believing that Spain
will in the end submit to the demands
of the United States before re-engag-
ing in hostilities, the authorities pro-
pose to be in a position where they
can make an effective demonstration
should such action be needed.
The evacuation of Porto Rico, the
repatriation of 1000 Spanish troops,
who were stationed in the western sec
tion of Cuba and the loading of 9TH
ers on transports constitute evidence
the administration officials say of
Spain's intention to continue peace
with the United States.
The session of the Peace Commis
sion tomorrow is expected to be one
of the most important yet held, for
the American representatives are un-
der instructions to make the Spanish
representatives plainly aware that
their government has sued for peace
and must pay the price of such suit.
The wisdom of the administration
in delaying the departure of the bat
tleships Oregon and Iowa, and of di-
recting them to participate in the eel
ebration at Rio de Janeiro in honor of
the anniversary of the establishment
of the republic of Brazil, is beginning
to be appreciated. These vessels will
not leave Rio de Janeiro before No
vember Goth, and possibly even later.
BY that time it will have pretty clear
ly developed whether Spain proposes
to comply with the demands of this
government or will undergo the hu-
initiation OF naval demonstration be-
fore accepting terms.
PARIS, October 15.-I was informed
today by high official of the admin
istration that the Spanish Commits
sioners are making every effort to Sc
cure the assumption of the Cuban
debt by the American government in
exchange for the island, or its guar
antee in some way when the island is
given its Independence.
The Cuban debt will not be assumed
by the government in any way, and
| Spain has been told so. What is true
| of the Cuban debt is also true of the
Philippine debt.
The American representatives have
submitted their demands for the ces-
cession of the island of Luzon to the
| United States.

MAJOR |AUKEA RET|RES
AFTER TWENTY-THREE YEARS OF
GOVERNMENT SERVICE.
a Long Career of Faithful Work I'm
der Both the Monarchy and the Re
public of Hawaii.

At the end of this month Major =.
Curtis laukea leaves the government
service after holding various offices
consecutively for period of twenty
three years. In every position that he
has hlled he has won the respect and
esteem of those whom he served, and
when he, himself has been in full
charge of an office, his subordinates
all held the kindliest feeling towards
him, and he inspired them with 10y
atty to their chief.
Major laukea was born at Waimea.
Hawaii and was educated by Arch
deacon Mason, first at Lahaina and
then at Pauoa Valley school, which
later developed into the present lola
nj College. The archdeacon was q
man of wide culture and much erudi-
ton, and young Iaukea proved one of
his most successful pupils.
The list of official positions held by
the major Is . long one. On leaving
school in 1875 he became secretary to
the chamberlain and shortly after was
one of the clerks in the Interior Office,
where he stayed several years until
he was appointed Secretary of Foreign
Affairs. From this position, which he
filled remarkably well, he was made
Collector General of Customs and la
ter Kings chamberlain. He was also
at one time governor of Oahu and at
the time of the fall of the monarchy
was agent of crown lands, a position
on which board Ire has occupied dur
ing the life of the Republic and which
he resigns next Monday.
During the incumbency of these va
rious offices Major Iaul1ea was often
sent abroad and is probably the most
travelled Hawaiian on the Islands. On
the occasion of the coronation of the
Gar, Major Iaubea represented the
Hawaiian government at that func-
ton. as well as visiting in diplomat
ic capacity several of the European
courts. and returning via Japan where
he concluded the arrangements for
japanese labor. which had been ini-
tiated by Governor Kapena and j. L.
kaulukou, year or SO before. He
was present at the Queens Jubilee in
| 1887 and again attended Minister Da.
mon in the Diamond Jubilee in 1897
His last mission abroad was in at
tendance upon President Dole, wher
the latter went to Washington at the
beginning of the year.
The record is an honorable and 9
distinguished one and the ajor'S
many friends will wish him every sue
cess in the new venture he is under
taking at Waialua.

THE NATIONAL BANK.

WASHINGTON, October 14.-So far
as the establishment of a national
bank in the territory of Hawaii is
concerned, it is believed that. the pro-
jectors will not insist on immediate
action, as there will be Legislation at
the hands of Congress specifically au-
.thorizing the issuance of charter
for a national bank by the time the
bank could possibly be established
and bank notes printed for circula-
ton.
Acting Attorney General James G..
Boyd is of the opinion that the Comp
troller of Currency is as much author
lied to charter a national bank in the
territory of Hawaii as in that of Okla
homa or Alaska, which latter is undis-
puted,

.ANOTHER FATAL WRECK CHICAGO PEACE JUBILEE
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY ATTENDS
THE SERVICE.
Twelve Thousand People Cheer the

CHICAGO, October 16.--Thc Nation
al Peace Jubilee of Chicago was to-
night inaugurated with a thanks Civ
ing service at the Auditorium. Presi-
dent Mckinley attended and listened
10 addresses by "a Jewish rabbi. lio-
man Catholic priest, Presbyterian
clergyman and a noted culored orator.
The applause for the president was
tremendous. dnl III ona tine he Nas
compelled to arise i'm his box and re.
spond TO the frautIc cheering of the
audience. The Serucrs were. huWeN-
er, of a religious character and at
times the solemn silence OF the vast
assemblage was much more eloquent
than could have been tue widest aC-
plause.
The party was driven 10 the Audito-
rum at o'clock. and all along the
way people lined the streets TO watch
the Presidents carriage. Easily 1900
people were within the great audito-

CAMP MK|MEY REMOVAL.
GENERAL KING SAYS IT WILL BE
WITHIN TWO DAYS.
Conflicting Opinions Cause Change of
Orders-Sicll Piling Up at the Hos
pital

Orders respecting Camp Mckinley
have been changed so many times in
the past week that it is becoming
hard to locate the real situation. At
one time the whole business was to be
removed last Friday; this was later
changed to Saturday. Then the local
Board of Health was consulted and it
seemed doubtful for time that any
change whatever would be made. Cen
eral King was opposed to change if
it could be avoided. In fact he believ-
ed, and still believes, that Camp Me-
Kinley is as healthy a place as can be
found if it is kept in good sanitary
condition. The surgeons, however,
take different view, arguing that as
the germs of disease have already
been sown, there should be complete
change of base.
General King said at noon yester-
day that there would be a change. He
had consented to the removal. The
only thing in the way is the location
of a site that will be more healthy
than the present quarters. The com
mander gave it out that within forty
eight hours two battalions of the
First New York would be removed to
Mr.. Damon's land at Kalihi and a
third battalion and the engineers will
be removed to some dry locality on
the north side of the Island. This ar
rangement, in the words of the com
mander, is only temporary, having no
bearing upon the original intention to
establish a permanent barracks at or
near Honolulu.
There were in the military hospital
last night 1853 patients. OF this num-
Der about so show symptoms of ty-
phoid fever.

oTTMAN SALOON MATTER.
Colonel Barber Denies Authorizing
Anyone to Object.

There seems to have been some mis-
take about objections to the Ottman
license at Waikiki to carry on the
light wine and beer business. An
official objection to the saloon was
filed at the Foreign Office yesterday.
in which it was claimed that Colonel
Barber opposed the establishment of
the business so near his men. Ottman
was notified of the objection and told
that he must wait until the Govern
ment had investigated the ground of
complaint. Colonel Barber's protest
was against the establishment of any
saloon near his camp. He says today
that he meant within his lines and has
no objection to the Ottman place. The
protest, however, of the officer and
Minister Sewall are still receiving the
attention of the Foreign Office, no
official withdrawal or modification of
This leaves the matter in a peculiar
state. At noon today Cabinet min
ister said that Ottman would. whether
or no, be authorized to open his place
of business tomorrow morning
