HOSTlLlTIES DELAYED.
Actual Fighting May Not Besin Until
Next Fall.

Next rail.
WASHINGI ON, April 2o.-In the war
department there is a growing belief
that the campaign proper in Cuba will
not be in full swing before next fall,
when the rainy season has ended. That
belief, however. has not prevented the
officers whose duty it is to get the
troops together from pushing their
work with the greatest energy. Thus,
within y ours after the Hull bill be-
came a law, the department was able
to begin to send out circulars pre-
scribing the methods to be followed in
recruiting the regular army up to it's
full war strength of 81 900 men.
The enormous amount of work in
volved in thus increasing the army,
regular and volunteer, has caused Gen
eral Miles to abandon his southern
trip fir the present The officials of the
department were overwhelmed with
all sorts of protests and appeals
against their action in making the as
signments of troops among the Volun-

looked for,

Confidence.

MADRID, April 2S.-Madrd is abso-
lutely unmoved. The capture of the
American Saranac by a Spanish gun
boat near Manila caused a momentary
excitement but the town is expectant
of the result of the action likely to oc-
cur off the Philippines and awaits the
outcome with perfect confidence
AS a counterpoise to the growing
sympathy toward the Carlists among
the people since Don Carlos raised a
vigorous war note against the United
States, the Spanish cardinals and pre-
lates are now assembling here to visit
the queen regent collectively, declar-
ing their adhesion to and support oft
reigning dynasty. They will endeavor
to convince the people that the queen
regent has never advocated peace at
any price, but thoroughly participated
in the enthusiasm of the people to Ge-
fend the honor and rights of Spain.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-From the

a much more radical doctrine than the
United States in the matter. The
Spanish order published in the official

Operation of the American Fleet with
the Insurgents Has Been Kept an En-
tire secret-Strict Orders Against Any
Barbarity.
LONDON, April 2S-The Hong Kong
correspondent of The Daily Mail says:
United States Consul General Will
Jams, after spending the evening
ashore with United States Consul
Wi!dman, accompanied the American
squadron. Thirty insurgent leaders
here wanted to accompany it; but
Chief Aguinaldo goes as their repre-
sentative. He will take charge of the
insurgent forces at Manila. Admiral
Dewey has issued strict orders that no
barbarous or inhuman acts are to be
perpetrated by the insurgents.
THE primary object is the capture
Of the Spanish fleet, which Admiral
Dewey thinks more important than
capturing Manila. He is determined
to prevent it's preying upon American
vessels. On reaching Manila he will
demand it's capitulation within half an
hour of his arrival. His men are in the
best of spirits and excellent health.
There have been nine desertions, in
Guiding six Cinnamon, one Italian and
one German during the fleets stay at
Hong Kong.
Every preparation has been made.
The ships are cleaned and painted for
battle, and the general opinion is
that the fight in these waters will re-
suit in an easy victory for America.
Her ships carry 122 guns, as against
96 or thereabouts in the Spanish fleet.
THE cooperation of the American
fleet WI l the rebels has been kept
strict secret The latter await the ar
rival of the fleet, when Manila must
soon succumb. It's defe.-ses are in
wretched state The Americans in the
Philippines are anxious to see British
rule established there and the proposal
has been favorably received here. The
Manila press on the contrary says
there is great enthusiasm among the
population for Spain, and that an OBJ
stinate resistance will be offered to the
Americans; but the papers qualify this
bold allegation by referring to the
'phlegmatic character of the natives,
which prevents any excited expression
of opinion These journals say too,
that the treason of a few hundreds or
few thousands of the rebels does not
affect the virtue of the race; and they
haughtily add that the Philippines will
prove worthy of Spain.
The governor of the Philippines has
issued several proclamations. One re-
quired all bodied Spaniards TO en-
roll themselves for military service,
and accords permission to foreigners to
join. Exemption is granted to all
American citizens. One extraordinary
proclamation has excited great dis
trust here. 1t asserts that the Ameri-
can people are composed of all social
excrescences, who have exhausted our
patience and provoked war with their
perfidious Vaccinations. their acts of
treachery and their outrages against
the law of nations and international
conventions.

learned that the torpedo boat Gushing
is on her way north in order that re-
pairs may be made to her starboard
engine, which is wrecked as the result,
at is said, of an attempt to show off
her fine qualities by Naval Cadet
Boyd, who was temporarily in charge
of her.
The repairs. it is expected, will take
about a month, and probably will be
done at the Norfolk navy yard. 1t is
said that the vessel has had no en-

current that the Spanish gunboat Lii

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Members

Plan for 1900.

The Agricultural Society and the
State Board of Trade of California are
soon to occupy their new quarters at

display of their increasing exhibits of
the industrial resources of the State.
At the suggestion of w. H. Mills, of
the Southern Pacific Railroad. A. Her.
bert, of this city, was made an honor
airy member of said Board, and the
Hawaiian Bureau of Agriculture has
been-invited to have a permanent ex-
hibit in connection with theirs, for the
display of Island industries
Exhibits of this kind have a great
instructive value, as we'll as ilIustra-
tive value
Such an exhibit would be of inestim-
able value to Hawaiian coffee planting.
as we'll as other industries. Any island
coffee planters who will send samples
of coffee with name, name of planta-
tion and district, to Allen Herbert he
will forward the same to J. A. Filcher,
secretary and general manager of the
State Board of Trade, San Francisco,
who has kindly volunteered to have
samples of coffee and other Hawaiian
products put in exhibition jars and
properly labeled with name and ad-
dress of grower, name of agent in San
Francisco, or Honolulu where such
coffee could be purchased These ex-
hibits at the new Ferry building will
have thousands of visitors, and we
know of no better method of intro
ducing our coffee to the first class
trade. There will be no expense to
the planter or exhibitor furnishing the
sample. Our Hawaiian exhibit now at
Omaha, with the consent of ihe Gov
ernment, can be sent to the San Fran
cisco Board of Trade as a starter to the
new exhibit and would be enlarged
from time to time so as to represent
every phase of our industrial life. 1t
was also suggested by the director of
said Board to have a Hawaiian exhibi-
tfOn in connection with theirs at the

ritory or annex to the American ex-
bibits of said place. A. II.
