THE HAWAIIAN FLAG.

After the vote by the Senate on the
Joint resolution of annexation, Mr.. l..
A. Thurston asked Senator c. K. Davis,
the Chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, if there would be any
objection of retaining the Hawaiian
flag as the territorial flag.
Senator Davis replied, that so far
from there being any objection to it,
it would be an eminently proper and
just thing to do"
Senator Davis does not share the
opinion of the Star that lit is a piece
of old womanish sentimentality' 70
preserve the flag.
Besides this, the flag Of Hawaii was
established by law. There has been
no repeal of that law. The flag passes
with other property to the United
States. The laws are kept in force by
the Joint resolution, until repealed by
Congress. So the flag is lawful flag.
1t has been suggested, that after the
American flag is hoisted over the Exc
cutive building. that the Hawaiian flag
be raised on some staff within the
grounds. or upon one of the flag stains
on the corner of the building.

SUFFERING SOLDIERS.

Large numbers of the enlisted men,
on the transports call at the office of
the Advertiser. and make bitter com
plants about the food and quarters on
the transports. But much worse than
this, is the selling of belts, leggings,
and other national property by the SOL
diers in order to obtain square
meal" The enlisted men are not beg
CARS, and do not whine, but they can
not help disclosing their hunger. so
much so, that nearly every resident IN
town. including even the little child
rem. repeat stories of hunger on board
the vessels. And enlisted men are be-
ing daily fed by the scores in private
families. One of the men used the
language. two thousand miles away
from home, anxious to fight and will
ing to die for Old Glory, but all the
same, tramps, glad to get a square
meal through Honolulu charity"
Some of the stories related by the
men are, no doubt, strictly true. Some
of them are exaggerated. One thing is
certain. The condition of the men on
the vessels now in port or on at least
one of them, is open to the severest
censure. The men have not been pro-
perly treated.
We understand that the next mail
will carry howl of indignation from
some of the Press correspondents here
and the letters from the men will make
| it hot for somebody. The enlisted reg
uIar, however, has not much influence
at home. 1t is the volunteer who vii

sponsibility for negligence, or fraud, il
cases of this kind. Somebody ha
Numbered, and the men suffer.

But laundering and fatal mistakes
are the incidents of war. Our Civil War
showed how plumbers went unpunish-
ed. The men were on hand, in line,
ready to fight and die. Then General
Scott had to be removed for incom-
petence. After him came Congress
which bIundered in urging battle at
Bull Run. Then came Mcclellan, who
vastly overmatched Lee, in men, but
dared not fight him before Washing
ton. He was removed by Lincoln.
Then came Hooker, who Numbered at
celIorsvilIe. with fearful loss of
men, and he was removed. Then came
Burnside who blundered and was
flung back across the Rappahannock
by Lees army, and he was removed
And then came the great fighter
Grant, and he too, he cOnfesses him
self. was in error. when he made the
attack at Cold HarbOr, where more
men were killed in a given time than
in any battle of the war, and not a
point was gained. Every old veteran
personally knew of sad blunders, of all
kinds and descriptions, due to ignor-
ance, pressure, and inefficiency. Life,
human life, pays for these plumbers.
| The widows and orphans pay for them
! too.
| And the discomfort of the enlisted
men here is only the result of some
blunder, or act of incompetence. But
it is the inevitable incident of war
No doubt, the young men who volun-
teer so freely, and periodically would
hesitate to do so, if they realized IN
advance, the appalling number of men
who must suffer and die, without hav-
ing really done anything for the good
of the country, beyond that of show
ing nerve, steadiness, resignation ant
bravery.

THROW UP THE SPONGE.
Autonomist Cabinet Ready to Yield
Everything to the Insurgents.

Havana, Feb 25.-In the uncertainty
of the relations with the United States
the Importance of the recent action Of
the Autonomist party is overlooked
The central commission has formally
approved the plan, which is a confess
sion OF the failure of the present scheme
of autonomy and an offer to the insur-
gents to cOncede everything except the
Withdrawal of the Spanish flag Its sig
nificance lies in the fact that Senior CO.
vim, a member of the autonomist cabi-
net was leading spirit in the meeting
and offered resolutions for treating
with the insurgents, which include a
series of propositions outlined by Gil
bera, two weeks ago, when the radical
autOnomist party was formed. These
cover everything but independence.
These autOnOmiStS have no authority
to represent Spain in the negotiations
and give no guarantee that Spain would
yield the concessions offered. The res
OlutiOns are in one sense an answer to
the complaint from Madrid that the
autonOmist cabinet were doing nothing
to bring the insurgents to recognition.
If negotiations are ever actually opened
with the insurgents Gown and the radi-
cal autonOmists' proposition will be re-
jected.
The intransigents are still hostile to
the government. Among them the
Maine inquiry is adding to the smother
ed anti-American feeling. The authori-
ties profess ability to hold it in check.

Bulletin Showing Lack of In

Washington, Feb. 25.-Rumors of start

were less frequent, but there were enough
of them still afioat TO warrant Secretary
Long in making this statement to the
newspaper men as he left his office last
evening:
Summing up the situation, I should
say that the navy department knows to-
dav nothing more about the cause of the
disaster than it did five minutes after the
receipt of the first dispatch from Captain
Sigsbee."
The secretary's attention was drawn to
the published statement that Captain
Crownins HELD. chief of the bureau of
navigation, had just arrived at Tampa,
Fla, on the Montgomery, from trip to
Cuba. where he had been inspecting pros
pective coaling stations near Matanzas.
The secretary's comment was simply this:
