The Doric came and brought no de-
cisive news. The great battle which
we have all been expecting to take
place in the Atlantic has not come off,
and the whereabouts of the Spanish
fleet still remains "A mystery. One
thing is evident the war will not be
concluded as rapidly as many were
inclined to think.
The United States forces will not
move upon Cuba for some time. The
season is not suitable for one thing,
and nothing can be done till the
whereabouts of the fleet is settled.
Meanwhile on this side assistance is
to be pushed ahead as fast as possi-
BILE for Dewey. \ stream of trans
ports will be calling at this port, car
rying the best of the western states,
TO fight for Uncle Sans honor in the
Far East
The enthusiasm for the war seems
to grow greater as time goes on. Not
only do the newspapers show it, but
hundreds of private letters from all
parts of the United States tell the
same tale. The war fever has possess
sion of the nation, and those who
have not joined the first levy are ca
gerly preparing themselves for the
second There is not a small town
where drilling is not being carried on
daily, and every college and universe
ty is eager to go to the front en-
masse.
This is a grand spirit for a nation
to show. and it is one that we have
every reason to expect, knowing the
fighting race from which the popula-
ton of the United States is sprung,
but no one can look on and not feel
sad to see so much energy, and so
much gallantry, put to such a pur-
pose. War is horrible. One realizes
it when one sees its pageant pass be-
fore ones eyes. God grant that the
prognostcations as to its long con-
tinuance may prove to be wrong and
that peace may be proclaimed and the
many brave and gallant hearts that
now beat so eagerly for the fray, may
devote themselves to the advancement
of their country as civilians instead
of as soldiers.

GOOD Eye

Speed the parting guest The boys
In blue have been received with open
arms 10y Hawaii, and now they pro-
coed 10 do their work in the Far East.
1t is noble expedition that they
have started upon. and IL win be wor-
thily carried out. The work that
Dewey initiated will be completed 10y
these soldiers and those who win fol-
has decided to wake up the sleeping
East. Places which have been slum-
boring quietly for hundreds of years
in the sleep of medievalism will break
forth into life under the touch Of the
go-ahead west. 1t is not an army OF
conquest that is crossing the ocean; it
is an army of progress.
The example which these men have
shown in Honolulu, will be worthily
carried out when Manila is occupied.
Never have troops been better behav-
ed than those which have just left our
shores. They have done credit TO
their nation and credit to themselves
With full freedom to do as they liked
the rank and file of the regiments
proved themselves gentlemen, and
worthy sons of the Golden West.
The idea of soldier is too often con-
nected with the swash bucller and
the roysterer. The western soldier
has shown that he is neither of these
things. Under the strongest tempta-
ton he has proved himself a careful,
steady man, whose behavior in peace
is a sure sign of his success in war.
Then God speed to the boys ip blue,
and knowing that they will do honor
to their flag and to humanity, may we
put up a prayer that of all the gal
liant body that has passed our shore,
and thronged our streets, most will
be spared to return to the waiting
hearts in the quiet homes of their ma.
tive land.

ANNEXATION.

The position of Hawaii just now is
been those who argued that Hawaii
had no strategic Importance. The OBJ
ject lesson is now before anyone's
eyes. Hawaii is at the present mo-
ment the key to Manila. Without Ha-
wall it would have been almost i'm
possible to send assistance to Dew
ey, and that most important position
which he now occupies would have
had to be abandoned.
But the United States must, in all
honor assist Hawaii, which has come
forward so readily to assist her. That
assistance can only be given by an
neXation. 1t does seem strange that
corporation can practically thwart
national policy, and yet that has been
the case in this annexation question
To annex Hawaii, even before the
present crisis, was clearly the policy
of the United States. The most adj
vanced thinkers and statesmen fully
realized it, and a majority of the Sen
ate were strongly in favor of the
move. But the influence of the Sugar
Trust, and what is practically the
same, the Beet Trust, has effectually
blocked the national advance.
Now, however, events of such q
character are occurring that even the
influence of this powerful corporation
will have to give way. The United
States cannot go on using these Is,
lands as a base of supplies without
giving the people who inhabit them
proper and adequate protection. The
only way in which they can do so is
by anneXing them. There is no 9th
er course that the United States car
in honor take. Annexation of the Ha
waiian Islands is military necessity
and on that account, if on no other
the Hawaiian Islands will become
part of the United States.

THE HEALTHY WOMAN.

Aside from form or features, she
has an attractiveness all her own.
The bloom on her cheek, the elasticity
In her step, the ring Of her voice,
her enjoyment Of life-all these are
magnets which draw others to her
side. Wonderful and valuable as it
is, health is not so difficult a thing
to obtain as some discouraged ones
think. Most of the troubles Of women
arise from impure blood, impaired
nutrition, low vitality, and general
debility. Modern science furnishes
the most successful Of remedies for
this ondition-namely

This happened in a Chicago office

cards trying to say what the other ten

RIGHT OF SEARCH.

In case there is war the very inter-
esting question of the right of search
will arise, as also that of Quitting
privateers. In 1886 Great Britain,
France. Austria, Russia, Prussia. Sar-
dinia and Turkey entered into con-
vention at Paris on the 10th of April,
whereby they agreed that in case of
war privateering should be abolished,
and that the flag of neutral covers
the ship and its cargo, except such
goods as are contraband of war. Thus
to prevent the obstruction Of commerce,
these Powers agreed to abandon the
right of search, and that privateering
should not be permissible.
But neither the United States nor
Spain We're privy to the convention,
and never have entered into any such
agreement. Secretary Seward tried in
his time to conclude a treaty upon much
the same lines, but with some import
ant notifications. Both he and Secre-
tary Marcy his predecessor, expressly
rejected the Paris compact. The ques-
ton now comes up in case of war be-
tween Spain and the United States,
viii these two nations respect the
agreement 'of the other Powers made
at. Paris away back in the ffties, and
which has been adhered to by them
in all wars since?
That both Spain and the United States
are free to issue letters of marque, and
to engage in search of neutrals for sup
plies for the enemy, is true, but wheth-
er the Powers will not insist upon the
flag of a neutral protecting its ships
as against such right of search is to be
considsed. Our right TO search neu-
tral ship carrying. goods of our enemy
is present international law, but wheth-
er the parties to the Paris treaty will
complaeently submit to such treatment
is altogether another matter.

The Record Union" yesterday morn
ing published seven columns and over
of reports of American Consuls at vari-
Gus points in the island of Cuba con-
cerning the actual condition of the re-
concentrates, congested in towns and

ler The statements fully sustain the
charges in the Presidents message con-
cerning the horrors of the situation
as it has been and now is. Probably
in the history of time no such out
RACES have been recounted. Tales of
massacre and barbarity there are in
plenty. History is dotted with black
records of inhumanity at the point of

Many contradictory statements have
been published as to what influence in
duced the Spanish Government to grant
an arimistice in Cuba. The Pope has
been given the credit. and again it has
been asserted that Spain yielded to the
wishes of the Powers. Those who have
said the Powers were responsible have
asserted that the nations participating
must hereafter side with Spain in the
present controversy because that coun-
try yielded. to. their desires. But now
we have an. official statement which
settlers the matter finally in favor of
the Pope The Spanish Minister at
Washington has officially presented to
the United States Government a copy
of the proclamation signed by Captain
General Blanco. which reads as fol-
lows: His majesty's Government, in
yielding to the reiterated wishes ex-
pressed by his holiness, the Pope, has
been pleased to decree a suspension of
hostilities with the object of preparing
and facilitating the restoration of peace
on this island, in virtue whereof I be-
lieve it convenient to ORDER etc" The
United States Government is therefore
in no way entangled with the European
Powers in connection with the action
of Spain in granting the armistice.
