RED CROSS HISTORY.

There appears in another column n
brief history Of the origin Of the Red
Cross Society. The children especially
should be made to understand It. Its
origin and growth is one Of the great
events OF the nineteenth century, The
vague desire to aid the sick and
wounded appearing spasmod cally
through the centuries, crystalized in
to "A living force only in the middle
period OF this century.
1t was not the universities. nor the
platforms. nor the churches that point
ed the way to the sites upon which
this Red Cross is planted. mo creed.
no nation, no sex" was a sentiment
which was strange to men, and was the
perilous rationalism of the new think
ing. Even the Bible Itself, with its
grand aspirations for the common good
OF all had not arrested mems atten-
ton. The Spectre of Death, standing
on the battle field and pointing his
bony finger at the mutilated and the
dying. fixed the gaze of men and wo-
men in the great object lesson which
Doctrines were powerless to teach.
So 1t is, that not out OF moral teach
ing. but out of carnage, and destruc-
ton, and boundless suffering comes
| the advance of the race. War called
| the Red Cross into being. Its jurisdic-
ton of mercy was confined at first to
the victims of bullet and shot and
| shell II now extends its jurisdiction
beyond and stays the hand of Famine.
The German proverb says generosity
Is for men. humanity for women
While the charge OF the churches is in
the hands of men, this new and broad
Church of Humanity, in which today
sixty-two nations of the earth humbly
kneel together, is placed by some Di'
vine decree in the hands OF women
and not of men. The rights and priv
ileges OF the true womanhood are al
last indicated.

interesting note on the climate of Ma
Mia. Observations of rainfall have
been made at the Observatorie Meteo-
rologico de Manila for thirty-two con-
secutive years, and of the other meteo-
Biological elements for seventeen con-
secutive years, and have been publish
ed by the observatory.
The average temperature of the year
is given as so degrees Fahrenheit.
April, May and June are the hottest
months, May with an average tempera-
ture OF 81 degrees being the hottest
of the three. December and January,

n degrees, are the coolest months
The greatest variation recorded Is 26
degrees. The highest the thermometer
has ever reached is 100 degrees, which
was in May, and the lowest "A degrees,

REMARK ABLE GUNNERY.

The Military and Naval Record
(English), says: THE remarkable
shooting of the American gunners at
the battle of Manila has opened the
eyes of the naval men OF Europe"
1t would be expected that the most
accurate and effective gunnery ought
to be found, where the largest stand
ing armies and navies exist But, on
the contrary. it appears where the
standing army Is the smallest and the
navy inferior in size.
And why?
During the war with the British in
1912, the American gunners were, on
the whole superior to the British, ow-
ing to the fact that the Napoleonic
wars compelled the British to man
their ships, through the cruel press
gang" with the riff raft OF all ma
tons. The American seamen came
largely from the sturdy New England
stock, and took a patriotic interest in
the naval engagements. The American
commanders were also compelled to
economy in the use OF ammunition.
These causes, among others, made bet
ter gunnery in the American navy.
More important still. the Military
Academy at West Point, and the Naval
Academy ut Annapolis have been, in
many WAYS superiOr tn any similar in
situations in the world, for the reason
that they have not been hampered by
old usages, old traditions. family in
terests, and political abuses. Their one
object has been to make the best SOL
diers and sailors, and nothing has
been allowed to stand in the way OF
reaching this result. The similar
schools in Europe are not ON this in
dependent basis. Social and political
influence still NEEDLES with the best
efficiency OF the services.
While the American army was small
and the navy almost Insignificant, the
soldiers aud sailors, graduated from
these academies, have clearly realized
1 the very simple and elementary prin-
ciple that II you wish to kill your
enemy you must hit him; II you hope
to hit him you must know how to
shoot, and, therefore above all things
good craftsmanship is absolutely ne,
cessary. So good gunnery has been 1

QUEEN NICTORlA'S BIRTHDAY.

There was remarkable celebration
of Queen Victoria's birth day at Tam
pa, Florida. General Shafter gave a
banquet in honor of the Queen, and
the ships of war, and the transports
were dressed in bunting, the flags of
England and the United States being
intertwined.
The American army and navy men
know too well how the Jingoes have
been shouting the power Of the United
States to everlastingly whip all crea-
ton, while at the same time, they
have doggedly kept the condition of
the navy and army down to such n
point that their immediate capacity
for war is hardly greater than that of
played out Spain.
1t is not strange that these men
should regard with grateful feelings,
the evident intention of the Queen s
Government not to permit any disas-
ter to the American feet to retard
the freedom OF Cuba, or to injure any
American city.
As the Westminster Gazette says
these manifestations OF friendliness
spring from sources that lie deep in the
policy of both countries.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1898-07-01

specially in the American navy. As
the London Times once said: when
the Americans realize the value of an
art, they quickly surpass other nations
in giving 1t practical value"
Is 1t not indeed strange that a Brit
ish journal, devoted to both arms OF
the service, in speaking of the most
powerful navy in existence, should
say: Just now the scare owes its
Irigin to the remarkable accuracy and
deadlness of the American gunners.
Britons are comparing the records
made at Manila with the scoring dur
ing the practice fire of the British
crews, and are asking with good deal
of feverish apprehension where their
own gunners come in" This journal
also quotes the opinion of prominent
naval officer that "the gunnery prac-
tice in Her Majesty's navy is regard
ed as rather more than a necessary
evil than AS a duty that, for the good
of the service, should be of first place
importance"
Probably the only way to account
for this singular deficiency in the Brit
ish navy is by giving force and effect
to the old usages, customs and tradi-
tons of the service, which have Great
ed stubborn habit of thought and
method of action.

THE BISHOPS INTENTION.

In the Sequel to two letters on
the Anglican Church in Hawaii" Rev.
John osborne makes some very inter-
esting revelations regarding the Bish-
op of Honolulu. The principal point
discussed in this paper Is the applica-
ton of the Ecclesiastical law OF the
English Church in local affairs here.
Among other things, however. Mr..
osborne publishes an extract from a
letter received by him from the Bish-
op several years ago, in which the
latter disclosed his intention to get
nd of the Rev. Mr.. Macintosh, as
soon as he could conveniently do so.
This community well krows and
appreciates the integrity, the intelli-
gent work, and the unfiinching energy
OF Mr.. MackiEtosh. and therefore 1t
has some right to become indignant,
without any reference whatever to de-
nominational lines, at this secret, un-
deserved and malicious attack upon
him.
The Bishop seems to be constantly
liable to physical or psychological dis
turbances. which impel him to concoct
mischief in every direction. The In
dams of Dakota described cantan-
kerous missionary clergyman of the
same kind as "Man-with-k ail-stones-
n-his-stomach." Perhaps this term
is not quite as expressive as it might
be of the Bishops general attitude
towards some Of the best Christian
work done here.
As soon as the Established Church
put forth here, through good agen.
cies, the green leaves of fresh
growth, this extraordinary Bishop a

A Surprised Spaniard.

Lieut.. Blue made visit to Gen.
Gomez and planted the American flag
In Cuba. With only an armed boats
crew, he passed through many creeks
guarded by the Spanish. In one OF
them he surprised two small vessels
and the crews fed, taking the boats
with them. On one Of them, fat
Spaniard, had been left by mistake
He jumped frantically into the water
and reached the shore. The American
boats crew opened fire on the Span

the fat man to run swiftly beyond fire
were so lud ,crous, the crew fell to
laughing and could not take good aim
He escaped.
