 NEW YORK, Feb.=15=A dispatch te the World from Havana says:
 There is d rumor that the palace au, thorities have q letter written by Con snI=3enerai Lee. the contents of which are as interesting and even more eXcit, ing for spain than the De Eome let, Ger to Ganafe ids WAS for the United States. Another rumor was set ahoat Chat Gen Lee had resigne,..

The members of the autono. mist cabinet don't like him IIe dia not visit them officially as the real head JG he government in Cuba. So theE thought to secure some private let ter written bF Gen. Lee which would give robust views of the Cuban question. II was thought that Gen. Lees frani1nesS in conversation insured the existence oi such missiyes. and the opinion was openly expressed that Gen. Lee would have to go. too. Even if some seeming iy compromising letter from Gen Lee were in the possession of the palace people ii is unlikely that Gen. Blaneo would push the affair. He admires Gcn-Lee.
 De Lome's resignation is really con sidered here as d severe blow to Spain. The Cubans are iubilant. They say Spain has no other diplomat with equal brains, industry, private fortune and brilliant diplomatic wife. They think there will be fewer senators from Spain" in congress- now.
 Yhe text of De Lome's letter printed here caused great stir. His candid opinion of Mckinley was mildly trans lated in the English version circulated in the United States.

gic measure, and the destruction Oh the
Snanisb feet. Admiral Sampson will
not divide his own fleet and search for
the Spanish He therefore keeps it
near Havana, in order to secure and
protect a landing, and guard against
any sudden appearance of the enemy.
The closest observers, so far as we
can see, believe that he will remain in
his present position, near his coal
basis, until communications are open
ed with the interior of Cuba, and a
sufficient force is upon the island to
hold it, if he proposes to cut loose from
his coal basis, and chase up the Span
ish fleet.
There may therefore be no severe
naval conflict for some time. if the
Spanish fleet adopts safe strategy, and
keeps on the further side of the Allan
tic. The Europeans are inclined to
think that this will be done, unless the
political situation in Spain compels it
to abandon this safe course, and cross
the Atlantic and fight the American
fleet near it's own coal basis of supply.
This would be the desperate strategy
of the angry Spanish mobs, but not
that of the Spanish naval men. AS
the situation becomes clear. it seems
as if Spain was between the devil and
the deep sea. If her navy remains on
the Eastern side of the Atlantic. she
loses Cuba without doubt. If she
crosses the Atlantic she fights under
vast disadvantages at a distance from
home.

A CRISIS IN NEUTRALITY.

If, on the advice of Commodore
Dewey, troops are transported from
San Francisco to the Philippines, they
must be, we assume, carried by way of
these Islands. Coal will be needed.
Japan and HongkOng are closed to
both belligerents. If coal is taken at
this port, the United States will DELHI
erately and perhaps of necessity, VIC
late the law of neutrality. 1t is not to
be believed that President Mckinley
will violate this law. He will naturally
and forcibly says to Congress: eve
must use the Hawaiian Islands as a
cOaling station. 1t is military neces-
sity. We cannot avoid it. You cannot
expect or hope that I, acting according
to international law, will violate any
of it's provisions. You must provide a
way for legal and honorable use OF
the Hawaiian Islands. Annex them at
once, and you meet the military neces-
sity, and keep our conduct well within
those laws of neutrality which we have
ourselves proclaimed, and profess to
keep"
The dispatch of troops to Manila
may produce just this crisis. II, under
these circumstances, Congress shouiC
refuse to act, it will put Congress be
fore the world as violation of inter
national law which it has itself delib
erateIy endorsed.
The sudden contingency which caus
es this demand for troops in Manila
may bring the question of annexation
to a sudden issue.

THEY ARE NEUTRAL.
Japan and China Make Their An
nOuucementS

nOuncementS
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The Japa-
nese Minister was notified by the For
eign Office at Toxic last night that a
decree of neutrality had been issued.
He has so informed the State Depart
ment. The dispatch does not give the
terms of the decree. 1t serves to close
Japanese ports rather sooner than was
expected.
China issued her neutrality prOcla-
nation today; so there is no place on
the Asiatic coast left open TO the free
use of the war vessels of either Spain
or the United States. This is rather
remarkable in that it marks the first
action of this kind upon the part OF
China, which has never before issued
a neutrality proclamation, and the nav
al officers are duly grateful for the
consideration shown by the Chinese
Government in Withholding the issue
of the decree until informed that the
Americans had secured a base in the
Philippine Islands.

over the victory of the American fleet
at Manila, that some, and perhaps
many brave Americans have lost their

AS so many of the officers on the Am

In these days, when human wisdom
can not see clearly the position which
the Islands should assume, by reason
of their intimate relations with the
United States, the safest course pol1tl-
cally and commercially is, to commit
our destiny entirely into the hands OF
that Nation. This is not the hour for
the close balancing of chances. Fed
by the rich bounty of it's policy, we are
bound to place ourselves at its dis
posal. if the case demands it, even if
annexation is not an accomplished

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-05-12

The defeat and destruction of the
Spanish fleet at Manila, is strong as
surance that these Islands will not be
menanced by Spanish cruisers. There
was little danger of it before, excepting
in the event of the defeat of the Amer
lean navy at Manila. If the American
ships are not seriously injured, the
Spanish forces in the Caroline Islands
will soon be destroyed. That foul blot
on the face of the Central Pacific will
cease to exist. The wrongs done to the
American teachers will be avenged.
After all the most important event is
the disorganized condition of the Span
ish Parliament. Only those who are
familiar with it's temper, the character
of it's members and the angry social
and political forces behind them can,
at this time, predict the immediate
future. But the dispatches show that
the Spanish people are in no mood TO
stand defeat from the Americans. They
may try the dangerous experiment OF
swapping horses in the stream, and
selecting new leduelS' ~ LII ''0
and the world at large is concerned, 1t
will be a fortunate event, if the Span
ish fabric tumbIes in and the war IS
suddenly terminated.
The dispatches state that the Span
ish politicians are angrily demanding
of the Government, the cause OF the
failure of the Philippine fleet to make
strong battle. If it is realized, as the
London Times stated the other day, in
its impartial way, that the Spanish
navy, in it's equipment was largely on
paper, there may be, first, cry OF de-
spair, and then a cry for any terms OF
peace.
On these lines the movements in
Spain may be very rapid.

SCROFULA
Ii is Foul BIood's Advertise
ment
But It is Soon Cured by Hoods
SarSapaFiIIa.

Yes, Scrofula, if anything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparills. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilIa and I began giving the girlthis med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA NJ.

WAR TOPICS.

The news of the victory of the Am
erican fleet at Manila, confirms expect
ations. The fleet was undoubtedly
superior to the Spanish, and therefore
the American naval men say: "Vic-
tory only a matter of course, nothing
TO brag about" But all the same, we
are proud of the men who handled
their guns so well, and we are prouder
still of the blow that was successfully
struck at the rule of Spanish barbar-
ism, masquerading as civilization.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-05-12

The question of the disposition OF
the Philippine Islands will soon be
upon the Americans. AS their subjec-
ton is not for conquest, but in the in
terests of humanity, the question will
not be difficult of solution. One thing
is certain, the Spanish flag will hoat
there no more.

Further information indicates more
clearly the war situation on the Allan
tic. There are several points in view,

lean forces in Cuba, in order to open
