Paid Supreme Sacrifice.
400 Soldiers from Five New England
States Died as the Result of Service In
the War Against Spain.

900 Soldiers from Five New England
States Died as the Result of Service In
the War Against Spain.
The Boston Journal has gathered some
valuable statistics showing the loss suf-
fered by the New England states, except
ing Connecticut, in the Spanish war, and
also the relative mortality from different
causes. On New England this tragic bur
den has fallen most heavily, and these
figures show how it is distributed: Massa-
chusetts lost 298 men, Maine A, New
Hampshire 30, Vermont q and Rhode
Island nine, a total of 800. OF the 29S
Massachusetts men who laid down their
lives but nine were killed in battle, and
five of these nine came from Springfield.
Greenfield, Hoyoke Orange and Turner'S
Falls lost one each on the battlefield. Far
more deadly were the ravages of disease,
and the regiment that suffered most Sc
verely, the 9th, was hardly in battle at all.
and had no killed The reports of diseases
are imperfect, but the cases known are
doubtless fair guide to the relative NOR
tally from different diseases. They show
these losses in New England: Typhoid,
90; other fevers Except yellow fever, 20;
dysentery, II; malaria, Is; pneumonia, 7;
heart disease, 7 yellow fever, 6.
The 9th Massachusetts, regiment, which
will be mustered out of the service tomor-
row, sustained the greatest loss, 103 of its
members being dead. The loss of the ID
Massachusetts regiment was SO men.
Taking both bullets and disease into &C
count, the mortality in Massachusetts fell
most heavily on these places: Boston, SO;
Worcester, 30; Clinton, IS; Natlck, North
ampton and Springfield, IL each; Adams,
10; Lowell, 9. The total death-rate of the
army during the war is believed to be
about $40 per cent; the rate for the
Massachusetts volunteers was per cent,
and leaving out the regiments which had
practically no loss, it was over @ per cent.

This note was submitted to a Gov
ernment official who has for quar-
ter of century or more made busi-
ness of looking through telescopes set
level. He said he was reminded Of the
famous question of why was it that
glass full of water would not run
over if fish were dropped in it. The
answer was that the glass would run
over. A sight from Tantalus Or any
elevation through a telescope set level,
said the official at once, would disclose
the sky. He then produced Bowditch
and explained dips etc., as under
stood in connection with triangula-
tions and marine calculations. An
other story brought out by this vete-
ran related to the occasion on which
Benjamin Franklin hoaXed the French
Academy Of Sciences. On leaving the
assembly hall one day he touched his
hand against the leather covering Of
the umbrella rack and found that one
side of it was quite heated from eX-
posure to the sun. He gave the rack
half a revolution and then called a
number of his colleagues and suggest
ed an investigation as to why the
side of the rack that was away from
the sun was heated. This was one OF
Poor Richards" jokes and it made
a tremendous hit.

Extensive Road Building.

W. E. Rowell, Superintendent of
Public Works, has finished several
sections of his report and is sending
them to the printer through the In
terror Office The chapter on roads
will be of particular interest. For
the eighteen months ending with 1897,
there has been built on the Island of
Hawaii under the direction of Mr.
Bruner, 80 miles of road, opening up
an immense area of new land. On
Maui there has been built II miles of
new road. Kauai has been pretty well
fixed for roads for some time. Oahu
during the period has had only about
four miles of new road added to the
system.

HAMAKUA

1.-THE answer to this question, in
wolves like most law propositions
some doubt. We believe that law
yers would generally agree in the
opinion that the person confessing the
crime could be legally punished. The
law looks for the guilty party. The
punishment of an innocent person
does not punish the guilty.
Our statute reads: Whoever is
guilty of murder in the first degree
shall suffer the punishment of death. "
If a man suffers who is not guilty,
how does that suffering release the
person who is guilty?
We hear that it has been held by
some Courts that in a case like the
one presented the person confessing
the crime cannot be punished. But
in forty-fve different States, it is i'm
possible to say what the Courts would
hold Until there are some uniform
decisions in such case, we should
say that there was no general law
on the subject. But reasoning from
principles, we would say that the con-
Tossing person might be punished

French WarSIiipS.

When the Duguay Trouin arrived in
this port it was stated almost official
ly that her stay would be indefinite.
The inference was that French war
ship would be in this port continuous
ly pending disposition of the annexa-
ton treaty at Washington. In some
quarters it was more than half ex-
pected that the Duguay Trouin would
make trip Of few miles or days and
return to port. This is not regarded
now as being likely, but it is asserted
that another French ship will soon
appear here and anchor for long
stay.
