GEN. MILES, RESPONSIBILITY
BEGINS.

General Miles has arrived off Santi
ago, and from this moment Skaters
responsibility ends and that of the
General of the Army begins. 1t is
understood that Miles is not to re-
place Shafter in any way. Shafter
will continue to direct active opera
tons in the field, but any further de-
lays or mistakes must be charged up
against the General commanding, and
by the same token, he must be en-
titled to credit if the long continued
and ineffective siege of Santiago shall
come at last to a successful issue.
Hereafter Shafter will report to Gen.
Miles
The President hopes now for
speedy change in the situation at the
front. He has been greatly disturbed
by the reports which have been COM
ing over the wires for the past few
days, aid has been unable to under
stand why there should have been
such uncertainty in plan and such dill
atoriness in action. With Miles in the
field in person it is believed that en-
ergy and decision will take the place
of lassitude.
1t is now over week since Shafter
sent his first ''ultimatum" to the COM
mander CT the Spanish forces in San
tiago.

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

The queen regent of Spain, his small
majesty and his sister went on an ex-
curslon last summer to Guadalupe, and
the eye of Alfonso was directed again
and again toward a small castlelike
building Oh distant peak, seemingly
almost impossible to reach.
'sDoes any one live there?" asked the
king. Certainly, your majesty, - re-
piled one of the officers, ''that is Casa
del Ingles. For Is years an Englishman
has lived there, without leaving the
place or receiving a stranger. The only
one who is allowed to come and go is
his old, deaf servant - "Well, 1 wish
to visit him. y But your majesty will
not be admitted, - ventured to remark
General Monilla.
The king looked at the general in a
disdainful way for a minute, and, draw
ing himself up to ''his full height
said, with dignity, Remember this,
your excellency, that the king is admit
ted everywhere. y
True to his word, Alfonso sent let
ter to the Englishman announcing his
intended visit the following day. A
courier carried the message and return
ed in q few hours with the answer:
Nothing stands in the way of visit
of your majesty. shall leave my house
forever today
Alfonso was surprised, and, after con-
sulting the queen regent, his better ma
ture asserted itself, and word was sent
at once to the Englishman to remain in
his castle, as the king had given up his
visit. His majesty took pride, however,
in showing the message from the Eng
lishman to General Monilla, proving
that he, the king of Spain, could ''be
admitted everywhere. Boston Post.

The faithful stokers whose only
duty is to shovel the coal on the great
warships, down deep IN the hold,
away from the stimulation of the
scene, should not be denied the
praise that is their due. It is theirs
to shovel away monotonously and
supply the great engines, without
knowledge of danger or victory,
and with no hope of winning glory
Were panic to seize them, Or a
treacherous spirit how much, for a
space, would the captains skill avail.

MADRID, July 12.-The possibility
of peace with the United States is be-
ing widely discussed in the newspa-
pers and by the public. The Conserv-
alive papers declare that Spain is
prepared to accept peace provided it
implies only the loss of Cuba, but,
they add, Spain would prefer contin-
uance of the war if the United States
claim Porto Rico, the Philippine is
lands, or an immense indemnity which
it would be impossible for Spain to
pay.
The correspondence asserts that
General Correa, the minister for war,
does not disagree with the other cabi-
net ministers SO seriously as gener-
ally supposed, and in view Of the gray
ity of the Cuban situation, it is posi-
BILE that ne will no longer oppose
peace, provided the conditions are
not too onerous. The public connects
that recent conference between Duke
Almodovar de Rio, the Spanish min
lister for foreign affairs, and the
French ambassador here, M. Pateno
tire, with the report that the French
ambassador OF Washington, M. Cam
bon, has been instructed to ascertain
the lightest conditions upon which
peace is obtainable.

hand, the plan proposed by your COM
pany, which I will call the Railroad
Plan, provides for a system of paral-
lei wharves and slips running about
at right angles to the proposed Gov
eminent wharf. This plan viii event
ually create an additional wharf front
age Of 5000 feet, or more than eight
times as much as the Government
plan. The construction Of the wharves
and the dredging Of the adjacent slips
would, Of course, be carried on grad
ually, one at time, as the necessities
of commerce may demand.
The Government officials admit. il is
true, that greater wharf accommoda-
tons viii be required in the near fut-
ure, in which event they say that
"slips can then be easily cut into the
long wharf now being built" This
means, in other words. that two-thirds
of this 500 TT. wharf must be rooted
up and destroyed, and that then. after
all, the railroad plan of parallel
and slips Will be practically,
adopted. 1t may we'll be asked. why
not build the wharf upon the correct
line in the first instance instead of
the public funds IN building
a costly structure in the wrong place
and afterwards pulling it down.
The Government further argues that
the railroad plan involves too much
dredging, and that dredging is expen-
sive. This may be true, but an inspec-
ton of the map will show that the
of the Government wharf
not only necessitates a large amount
Of dredging from the wharf out TO the
20 TT. depth at low tide, but also in
wolves the cost of filling to street
grade the entire area lying between
the wharf and the shore-line of the
nlet-nearly fifteen acres of tide lands,
requiring, at a rough estimate, about
0ne hundred and fifty thousand $780,

portion of which must again be

Dear Sir:-I have read with much
interest the correspondence relative TO
the enlargement of Honolulu harbOr
as published in the Advertiser" of
January Is. 10. 20 and q, copies CT
which you mailed me-
The Importance CT the subject, not
only 10 your company but TO the pub
lie at large, demands the most serious
consideration. Being somewhat famili-
ar with the conditions of your harbor,
1 take the liberty of herewith sub
hitting few facts and figures which,
1 trust, may prove of some value in
solving the problem. / shall not touch
upon the legal rights Of the contest
ing parties, as that matter has. very
properly, been submitted TO the courts,
but shall confne my remarks solely
10 the engineering and commercial
features of the case. regardless of the
real ownership CT corporate rights in
the premises.
For clearer understanding of the
situation I submit two maps: Map

improvement and the part of Honolulu
harbOr under discussion, and Map No.
2, showing the general plan of harbOr
improvements adopted in San Fran
cisco. Both maps. are drawn to the
same scale, 800 feet to the inch
AS 1 understand it the problem is
how best TO increase the shipping faci-
litieS in the northern arm of Homo
lulu harbOr. The Government plan
is to construct a substantial wharf,
900 fit. long and 100 it. wide, across the
mouth of the Nuuanu inlet, and to fill
in, or reclaim, the shallow. tide lands
between the wharf and the shore.
(See Map No. y. It is apparent, at a
glance, that this arrangement will add
only 600 feet to the available wharf
frontage of the harbOr. On the other
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-04-30

Continued from First Page.)

The situation of the wharf as pro-
posed by the Government is not at all
suited to the requirements CT the rail-
way. 1t would stand nearly east and
west when the wharves for rail-
way use should stand nearly north
and south, to be convenient for plac-
ing cars alongside ships. All addi-
tional expense incurred through such
awkward unbusinesshke arrangement
of bringing ship and car together, is
loss-an unnecessary loss that must be
borne by all the people having freight
ing interests on that side Of the har-
Dor Perhaps some one who knows
all about it, Will be good enough to
explain in what way the people are
to be benefited by the contamination
of the Government plan. No one yet
has done so!
In closing, permit me to add: Mr..
G.. F. Allardt, a civil engineer of high
standing upon whose survey and re-
port the. entrance to Honolulu harbOr
was deepened to 80 feet a few years
since; has, unasked, submitted his
views on the very subject herein dis
cussed, in a letter addressed to the IN
dersigned. AS. Mr.. Allardt would be
considered authority on harbor i'm
provements anywhere in the world, it
has been suggested by some prominent
men who have read the letter that it
ought to be printed for the benefit Of
the public, especially as the author, is
wholly disinterested, and expresses his
opinion in friendly manner.
Thanking you for this indulgence.
I am very respectfully,
3. F. DILLINGHAM;.

DEAR SR:-The Secretary Disc Plow pur-
chased from you is giving us satisfaction. We
are using it to plow under crop of lupins. They
are three feet high and very thick. Your ploW
turns them completely under at the same time
blowing the land fourteen inches deep.
feel satisfied that with this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
E to 8. That is, with the old pow, to do the same
work, it takes good mules; with your pIoW 1t
takes only g. and they are less tired at night
Please send me another plow by first schooner
leaving for this.
You are at liberty to use this in any way you
may see fit. Yours truly
A. LIDGATE.
