HONOR TO BE INDICATED.

The news as received by the Yea
landia this afternoon means war be-
tween Spain and the United States.
In the interests of humanity Presi-
dent Mckinley has withheld his war
message to allow Consul General Lee
and other Americans to escape from
Havana. But what a commentary up
on Spanish civilization is this. That a
nation cannot restrain its people from
numbering or ill using the innocent
people upon its shores shows badly
for the Spaniards. There can be little
doubt that the struggle has already
commenced. The result, however, is
not doubtful. The United States will
win for the glory of civilization and
for its own honor.

The expense of repairing the dam
age done by the storm is considerably
less than was at first anticipated. Of
course the earliest estimates were
merely wild guesscs, and then again
in many cases the lumber was saved
from the bridges that had been wash
ed away. and could be used again. 1t
is to be hoped that warning will be
taken, and the new bridges built high
enough. When speaking of the mat
ter the other day with one of the gov
eminent officials, the statement was
made that building the bridges high
er entailed so much extra expense.
This may be true, but it is much bet
ter to spend few thousands more
and have your bridges absolutely safe
from being carried out to sea, than it
is to save the money and have to re-
build your bridge after every heavy
freshet. 1t is penny wise and pound
foolish policy.

1t is somewhat curious that the
new Chinese loan was not subscribed
for largely in London, in view of the
fact that it was supposed that the
English tinanciers wished to control
Chinese finances. The loan was for
$50, 100000, half of which was offered
in London and half in Berlin. The
Germans oyer-subscribed for their
share, but only S1,5OO,0OO was taken
up in London. 1t is evident that the
London investors have no confidence
in the security. China is in a transit
tory state and may be divided up at
any time, so the London men don't
want their millions to disappear in
the coming crash.

SPANISH FINANCE.

SPANS financial position is bound
up with the Bank of Spain, according
to Bradstreets. The condition of the
treasury depends upon the condition
of the bank, the latter is a guide to
the former. The loans which have
been obtained during the Cuban IN
surrection have come from the Ma
tional banking institutions, the osten-
sible sale of Cuban bonds have really
been advances on them by the bank.
At the end of 1896 the Bank of
Spain had advanced to the Colonial
treasures S43, 100000. which were Sc
cured by Cuban bonds. At the end NJ
1897, the Bank. upon similar securi-
ties, had advanced SS1 100000. Since
then the Spanish government created
a new issue of bonds, amounting to
100000, secured on the customs of
the home country, the object being
that these S4O,00O,0O0 were to be ten
dered as security to the bank for re-
newed cash advances. which We're re-
quired to carry on the Cuban war, the
expense of this latter being $1,000, 900
per month.
The effect of this constant drain
upon the Bank of Spain by both the
main government and the colonial
administration has been to tie up a
large proportion of the assets and fur
Their has caused over issues of the
Banks circulating notes. In 1896 the
year closed with $2O6,OOO,OOO circulat-
ing notes outstanding, the year 1897
closed with $241,OOO,0OO, an increase
of $35,OO0,0O0 in a single year. To
meet this the bank has Il cash reserve
of sos, 100000. which ought to be ev-
emily divided between gold and silver.
but of. which only $47,5OO,OOO is in
gold
With such financial condition
Spain cannot look forward to strug-
gle which will involve millions ii week
with any degree of hope. Spain is in
yolved to such an extent already that
there seems very little hope that she
will ever be financially solvent, and
her income from her colonies has talk
en- unto itself wings. Still even bank
rupt nations have found means to
raise funds. After the Prussans had
been harried by the French and the
flower of the army had been destroy
ed, the nation managed to gather
money to fight the war of liberty. Ev-
cry woman gave her jewelry, and not
an article of gold or silver was worn
in Berlin. To the present day there
is an industry of wire jewelry in Ber-
lin, which had its birth at that time.
So the women of Spain may yet have
TO give up their jewels and the gran
dees melt down their plate, but the
cause in which they will be sacrificed
will be a very different one from that
of the women of Germany.

There seems every chance of the
powder magazine being placed in a
position where it will do little or no
damage if it should explode. The res
idents, near the present site. have
complained of the matter again and
again, without avail, but at last some
thing tangible is proposed, and a sum
of money is asked to be appropriated
for the construction of the new mag
azine. The old magazine was far
enough away from all houses when it
was first constructed, but the town
has gradually grown out in that di-
rection, and it has become a menace
to large number of homes. The
proposal is to build the new magazine
on the reef, opposite the old leper sta
ton at Kakaako. AS soon as the
money is voted work should be com
menced. 1t is not one of the pieces
of government work that can be put
off to any time. The need is really
pressing.

AS Honolulu grows din i'm
portance, more commerce calls
at this port. Only a few days
ago, it was announced that the
steamers Of the Pacific Mail
Company would, in the future,
all call here enroute. Owing
to the prominence given to
the question of annexing these
Islands to the United States,
the attention Of the whole
world has been called to Haw-
ali, and whether we are annex
ed or not, the strangers com
ing to Hawaii during the COM
ING year, will be more than
ever before. While everyone
is glad Of the increased bust
ness it will bring, other things
must not be overlooked. The
rowing element which seek
homes and fortune in a new
country, contain a larger per-
centage Of the criminal class,
and it is only necessary pru-
dence to keep temptation out
of their way. Realizing this,

mand for Safes, and imported

FooIing the Old Soldiers

The Cresco Republican in it's issue
of the 10th said: "a communication
from the old soldiers on the con-
gressional question received too late
for to-day's paper will appear in
Fridays issue" Fridays issue which
was the 10th, contained the article in
few copies, not enough for all the
soldiers whose names were signed to
the article. An old soldier came to
US when the Republican caine out to
call our attention to the article
which was not in the paper, and an
examination made by them In calling
upon others, showed the article was
left out of its circulation though some
OF the soldiers had the paper contain
ing 1t, and some of the names signed
were omitted. Because of this trick
the old soldiers ask us to publish the
article that the public may know
that the repeated statements of the
Republican that 1.-The old soldier was
against Tom from principle" lacked
the element of truth.
