Letter From Honolulu.

HONOLULU, July 80, 1898.
Messrs. Cooper Il Dustin, Farming.
ION, New Mexico:
Dear Friends-I will write you fcw
lines to let you know am still In the
land Of the living
We arrived in Honolulu one week
ago today, after having been nearly
eight days on the way. Ihad the
pleasure of being sea sick the whole
time. | lost good deal of patriotism
ON the way over
1t sets fellow to thinking when he
is crowded into a hot hold like lot of
sheep is abused by the officers and
half starved or fed on food dog
would refuse to eat, and at the same
time to see the officers living like
princes. Since landing here things
have changed for the better.
This Is the most delightful place on
earth, the climate Is perfect, and to
use the words OF one of the boys, TITS
a great place where you can get up in
the morning and find your breakfast
hanging on the trees"
The natives as a rule object to an
nexation but they are the kindest peo-
pie l have ever met. They will run
out into the road to call a stranger in
to eat. We will probably stay here a
few days longer until the cruiser Phil.
adelphia arrives, when we will raise
Old Glory over the islands and will
then sail for Manila.
For my part l should like to spend
the balance Of my days here. wish
you could have had part of the cocoa
nuts, pineapples, bananas and man
groves have eaten since came here.
should like to hear from you again,
A letter addressed to G. W. English,
Troop L, U. s. Cavalry, Manila, Phil
ippine Islands, l think ought to reach
me some time. will write you again
from Manila II | live to get there. 1t
Is twenty-five days journey from
here and twenty-five days is long
time to put in on crowded ship, es-
pecially If you are sea-sick all the time
But have never died yet and 1 guess
l won't this time.
am Of the opinion we will have to
thrash those Dntchmen after we get
through with Spain have got my
stomach full again and am more patri.
otic than l was when first landed.
Sincerely your friend,

powers a moral which they would do
well to dig up. Russia, Germany and
! France had much to do with the settle
ment of the Turko-Grecian war, and
can be repeated and the United States
frightened into obeying the beheSts of
nations that have no concern in the war
and the settlement of peace. The En-
glish know that the Americans allow no
one to interfere with their affairs, this
the other countries appear to be ignor-
ant of, and some day may have to be
taught. Continuing, the Review says:
In spite of the German superiority
in battleships, it is our settled belief
that the navy of America, even as it is
at present, is strong enough to beat the
navy of the kaiser The Review gives
as it's reasons for this belief that the
Americans are better gunners, better
sailors, and the American ships are bet
ter than those possessed by Germany.
America has tens of thousands of hardy,
able seamen, whereas there are many
of the men in the German navy who
never saw the sea until a year or two
ago. In the article a very significant
paragraph occurs, as follows:
For these and other reasons we be-
lieve that America will not be stopped
in her imperial progress by German
bluff nor daunted by Franco-Russian
menace. We shouldn't ever now be
afraid of the issue of a conflict between
the United States navy and that of
France, for the American superiority as
gunners would give them an enormous
advantage; but in such a conflict we
would probably take a hand and the
probability would change to a certainty
if Russia dared to support her ally. The
truth is that a new power of the very
first rank has pushed itself among the
nations.

No Lack Of Good Men.
albuquerque Citizen.l

The Republican party has excellent
material for congressional delegate.
There are leading Republicans in every
county, any one of whom could credit
ably represent the territory at Washing
ton. Rernalillo county has such men
as Pedro Perea, J.. r Armijo, b. s.
Rodey and T A. Finical. Valencia
county contains that grand old leader,
Col. J. Franco Chaves and Sol. Luna.
Colfax county could win with either T.
w. Collier or A. G. Voorhees, at the head
of the ticket. Rio Arriba county has in
L. D. Burns a popular and capable man.
Taos county has Pedro Sanchez and
Juan c. Santistevan, either of whom
would make a good rec cord in congress.
Santa Fe has a dozen republican leaders,
any one of whom is worthy of con
gressional honors. San Miguel county
has Gov. M. A. Otero, John s. Clark
and several other true and tried Republi-
cans, who would be elected II nominated.
Socorro county has a number of good
men, all worthy of any honor the Republi-
can party can confer upon them.
Lincoln county has Col. G. W. Pritchard
and other able men. Dona Ana county
has Capt. Llewellyn, Judge 5. b. New
comb and other popular and deserving
men. Grant county has a dozen Re-
publican leaders, all OF them worthy and
competent for delegate.
The territory should elect a Republi-
can delegate. Mr.. Ferguson a do
nothing at Washington beneficial to
New Mexico. He is with the minority,
and minorities do not accomplish much
at the national capital. The Republi-
cans can elect the delegate in Novem-
Der, and they should do so by a good
majority. The Citizen is in favor of the
Republican nominee, who ever he may
be-. OF course, from local pride and
personal friendship, this paper would
prefer to help elect Hon. Pedro Perea,
il he will consent to become a candidate;
but If some other man Is the nominee we
will all join in and do our best to secure
his election.

A New Power Has Arisen.

Great Britain has watched the prog
ress of the war between the United
States and Spain with the closest inter-
est and the English papers have been
outspoken in their opinions concerning
the events which have happened since
February Is, when the Maine was blown
up in Havana harbor. The friendly
attitude assumed by the British govern
ment is, perhaps, as is claimed by some,
due solely to a desire to make of this
country an ally for offensive and defen-
sive purposes, but be that as it may, the
newspapers of that country have not
lost sight Of the many possibilities for
the future arising out of the wonderful
lighting abilities displayed by the army
and navy of the United States.
The London Saturday Review, in a
recent issue, in speaking of the annexa-
ton of the Hawaiian islands and the
future of Cuba and Puerto Rico, says:
"Th0so who think America will be
restrained by German bluff or by Fran
co-Russian menace do not understand
her or her people,"
In this observation the English have
shown q keener understanding of the
Americans than was to have been ex-
pected, and point to the continental

grown girls a jacket, close fitting at the
back and loose in front, is the correct
style. Short, loose sacks are also employed
for children of all ages and are desirable
for ummer, as they are easily put on and
off. 1t is never safe to dispense with a
wrap for children, even in the warmest
weather, as the temperature is always liza
BILE to sudden changes, and children be-
come chilled very easily, as they are quick
ly overheated.
Foulard, surah, bengaline and taffeta
are the silks employed for children. Chal-
lies, cashmeres and plaids are favorite
wooden goods. AS for thin materials, there
is all immense variety, and nearly all are
suitable for little people, Pique, dotted
muslin and lawns printed with very small
figures are perhaps the prettiest. Yokes,
square, pointed or round collars, berthas
and long sashes are the trimmings usually
| chosen.
The illustration In today's issue shows
an empire bonnet for a little girl from 8
to 6 years old. 1t is Of pale pink taffeta,
tho crown being encircled by five ruches
| of white mousseline de sole. The brim Is
covered with an application Of cream
| guipure and is edged with two white
ruches. A pompon of narrow black velvet
ribbon is placed at the top of the crown,
another on the brim, and at the back is a
little ruffle of pink taffeta edged with
black velvet and headed by a smaller vel
| vet pompon. JUDO CHoLLET.

Some observing cuss says that the
American is becoming thoroughly civil
lied, because he takes more time in
which to eat his dinner. 1t is an even
wager that the fellow who made that
discovery never spent a half hour in a
railroad eating house or a creamery
lunch room in one of the large cities.
Time and tide are not in it with the
clerk or business man who rushes in,
throws a leg over a high stool and swal-
lows all there is in front of him before
the waiter can open a napkin. The
dollar OF our daddies will have to be-
come less elusive before the average
American devotes much time to eating;
time is worth too much in the market
for any ~leisurely movements at the table.

Opposition TO Surrender Of the Philippines.

The administrations position or the
Philippine islands, in the terms of peace
offered to Spain, is meeting with the re-
ception among the people that was to
have been expected. kilograms and
letters by the hundreds are pouring into
the president and cabinet protesting
against any arrangement which viii
allow the Spaniards to have anything
more to do with the islands. The pa
pers of the country, and they come very
nearly representing the sentiment Of
the country on public matters, aside
from politics, are almost unanimous il
their opposition to the project of onl!
retaining a coaling station in the Phil
ippines.
The Americans feel that having once
broken SPANS power in the east tina
it would be a crime in the eyes of thu
rest of the world and in the name O.
humanity to restore that government!
sovereignty over the people of tina
archipelago.
The question of disposing of the Phil
ippines will cause more talk and worry
than any other talk entering into the
peace negotiations. The Spaniards dc
not want to give the islands up and may
refuse to enter into a treaty of peace,
unless compelled to by a superior force
which provides for the surrender of the
islands in the Pacific. On the othel
hand the Americans may refuse to ALLOW
the administration to consider any
terms of peace which do not carry {
provision for the annexation of these is
lands. Should the situation develop a
deadlock the conclusion of peace may
be deferred for a long time. An arms
tfce could be maintained between the
two countries until the snarl could be
| Strengthened out, but that would require
the keeping of large bodies of troops il
the field for an indefinite period.
The war with Spain brought it,
problems which have been solved in {
very satisfactory manner Armies have
been raised and equipped in a few weeks
the navy was laised from a place of al
most insigniticance among the othel
powers of the world to that of second
battles were fought and won and thu
the wal brought to a speedy end by thu
energy of the American people, ano
there is every reason to believe that the
same energy and hard sense will settle
the Philippine question in a satisfactory
manner without further fighting, ever
if the president and cabinet are
compelled to bow to the will of the PEG
| pie in the end. The idea of having wor
a prize and then after the contest sur
render it to the defeated enemy, il
clearly against the grain Of the nation
That seems to be the secret of the OPP
position to the plan outlined by the
president in his reply to SPANS note re
questing that terms of peace be granted

If the treaty of peace between the
United States and Spain can be ratified
and signed, sealed and delivered with
out a special session of congress, Presi-
dent Mckinley will confer a favor upon
the country by allowing the congress
men to stay at home until after the No
vember election. The people of this
country are very tender-hearted and
the terrible woe that would be occa-
stoned by calling so many statesmen
away from the bosoms of their constit-
uents at a time when political fences
need resetting and strengthening would
be looked upon as a national calamity.

THE TABLE,.

Floral Decorations and the Best Ways Of
Arranging Them.
No table is now complete without flow
ers. At breakfast, luncheon, tea and din
ner they are an essential part of the table
furniture. There Is a degree of skill and
intelligence necessary, however, to their
proper selection and arrangement. There
are many flowers attractive In themselves
which have a fragrance SO heavy as to be
almost sickening when 1t is mingled with
the odor of food. Among such flowers I'M
suitable for table decoration may be men.

1t is almost time for the different tax
collectors in the territory to make their
returns to the territorial treasurer of
the taxes collected for the month of

can gather a pretty good idea of the
locality of the county officials who do
their duties in levying, assessing and

may be freely used, as may all scentless
flowers. Ferns alone form a very pretty
decoration.
Floral arrangements for table ornamen-
tation should always be low. A flat, broad
dish, square, round or oval, like a fern
dish, is the best receptacle for them. This
may DO Of pottery, silver or other metal
and may be set upon an embroidered con-
terpiece or upon a fiat mirror. The edge
of the mirror should be covered with
smilax, ferns or moss, and, by the way,
ribbons and little fans are no addition to
the beauty Of floral arrangements, but
rather give them u tawdry effect.
