 MONTEGO BAY, Island of Jamaica, Friday, July 1 (delayed in transmits sion).-A Cuban messenger from the in- surgents near Manzanilo, Province of Santiago de Cuba, who landed near here to-day from a sailboat, brought intelligence that the Spanish troops, numbering about 5000 men. who left Manzanillo on June 2s to march to San tiago, were called back by General Pando. It appears that when the army had reached the vicinity of Bayamo, General Pando was not with the troops, as had been reported. He was and is in Havana.

HOLDING THE TRANSPORTS.

The stay Of the transports in our
port is significant. 1t can hardly be
explained on any other theory. than
that which assumes that peace is near
at hand.
II there is to be an occupation Of
Manila, the troops on the transports
are needed there. II not, they may be
readily sent home from this half way
house. The delay shows a waiting
policy, and one that takes immediate
peace into the calculations. The con-
dition of Spanish politics is that Of a
shell with a burning fuse in it. no one
knows when It will explode, but it may
explode at any moment. When 1t does,
the question of the possession Of the
Philippines will be very burning one,
with two sides to 1t.
The holding Of the transports here
Is only consistent with the prospect of
immediate peace.

WAR AND BEER.

The war is making for temperance.
The war tax OF 81 on each barrel
of beer, has stimulated invention
and q glass Is made SO that 1t Is as
thin as the thinnest beer glass at the
brim, but by the application Of the
most deceptive art the glass is SO ar
ranged in the bottom and far down the
sides that 1t cuts of about fourth OF
the capacity and at the same time adds
no perceptible weight" The consumer
pays the same price, but gets one
fourth less beer. 1t Is said that the
deception cannot be detected excepting
by experts.
The consumer in this town may feel
rather dissatisfied with the exhilarat-
ing effects Of the drink, but II he COM
plains. he will be told that 1t is his
patriotic contribution to the war tax
and to the temperance cause.
Besides 1t will lessen his confusion
when he is suddenly called upon to
shout the war cry Of Remember the
Maine" or the political war cry Of

A MISUNDERSTANDING.

There appears to be a curious mis-
apprehension, on the part Of many OF
President Dole's friends, regarding his
contribution to the maine relief fund
last February, while he was in San
Francisco. 1t is due entirely to the
inaccurate statements Of the newspa-
pers of the Mainland that he had made
the contribution, but without specify
ing whether 1t was personal or Off
cial act. For this inaccurate state
ment he is not responsible. 1t was
therefore inferred by many, without
reason for it, that he had intended to
make the contribution personal one.
Upon rendering his account Of the ex-
penses OF the trip to Washington, the
item was included as part of public ex-
pense account, as it should be.
Having known for some time, that
there Is a unfortunate misunderstand-
ing OF the matter. which would great!
annoy Mr.. Dole, If he became aware of
it, we have investigated it, and publish
the results of that investigation in an
other column. If the Legislature had
taken the least trouble to make any in
auiries on the subject, there would not
have been any misunderstanding what
ever.

WAS AS PRESIDENT
MR.. DOLE SUBSCRIBED.
This will Silence Gossip That Ha $
Been Started.

An item that appeared in the financiai
account of the President upon returning
from his special mission to the United
States early this year was 500. contribu-
ton to the Maine fund" The statement
in full was presented to the Senate. The
whole of the money for the trip came out
of a special appropriation made by the
Council of State. considerable sum of
the total was returned to the treasury as
a Government realization. 1t Is not be-
leved that anything of that sort has ever
occurred in any country. In matters of
this kind usually there Is a deficit re-
quiring a special claim and additional
settlement.
Lately gossip, initiated from a direction
or in a quarter that need not be speculate
ed upon nor designated. has had to 90
with the $500 item of contribution to the
Maine fund" Ii has been sought to place
the President In false light. All the
facts. the whole situation. Is clear and ap-
parent and correct enough to those who
wish to understand 1t rightly. Mr.. Dole
does not require defense, but a straight
forward explanation should end the dis
cussion or consideration.
The contribution of $500 was sent by
means of draft to Minister Hatch AT
Washington from San Francisco the very
day the President and party left the
United States for the Islands. Maj. c. 4.
1aukea. the Presidents aide, made the
suggestion that this be done. There was
no thought whatever of Mr.. Dole making
the tender other than in his official ca
pacity, he being at that time the especial
representative In the United States of
this Government and as such the guest
of the nation over there. That the do
nation was offered from the funds placed
at the disposal of Mr.. Dole for the trip
expenses, contingent and otherwise, was
well understood and SO communicated to
Minister Hatch. The Government here
had been liberal in providing for the mis-
sion of Mr.. Dole and 1t was accepted as
"A natural thought that such DISPOSE
ton of a portion of the fund in this mat
ter would be considered graceful. merit
orious and In good taste. That is all there
Is to II. That the contribution had been
accepted was not learned till some time
after Mr.. Dole and party had returned
TO the Islands. 1t then appeared that
President Dole had given the money as
President and the statement of expendi-
lures for the mission was entirely frank
and clear upon the point
President Dole, when addressed upon
the matter promptly gave the version
mere recited and was surprised to learn
that any construction other than he had
placed upon the transaction could be
made Maj laukea and Mr.. Hatch are
OF the same mind

THE NATIVES AND THE TERRI.
TORIES.

The natives seem to be unduly
alarmed about their political condition
in the future.
The native press publishes grossly
inaccurate statements about the power
Of Congress over the people Of ter
ritory, and the treatment OF the negro
in the Southern States. They are led
to believe that the people Of a terri
tory are without any rights, are the
creatures OF Congress, and will be
treated by 1t, just as the negroes are
treated by the Legislatures Of several
OF the Southern States.
Unfortunately, the matter involves
constitutional law, and the rather in
definite relations OF territory to a
State, and the general government
The native cannot be blamed, If he
does not understand these relations.
Indeed, ninety per cent. OF American
citizens could not pass very credit
able examination on the subject. Even
the lawyers, and judges cannot always
agree as to what these relations really
are. Every little while anew relation
Is discovered by the Courts.
1t must be expected that very ignor-
mt white men will put foolish notions

"WATERED" STOCK.

The recent increase of the stock OF
the Eva plantation from 100000 to
s., 1000, 900, without a payment in cash
for the increased issue is loosely spok-
en- of as the watering. of the stock,
and as the introduction of Wall street
ways Of managing corporations.
The term "watered" is loosely used
and In this case cannot be justly used
The strongest language would be justi-
fable in denouncing the Wall street
practice, II the new issue of stock rep
resented neither money, solid assets.
or undoubted values. 1t Is this sort Of
manipulation that deceives the public,
and catches the lambs" because the
lambs rarely study values.
The issue of stock for full value re-
ceived, is quite another matter. There
Is no real distinction between the issue
Of stock for cash actually paid in, and
the issue of stock for cash actually
earned by the corporation, and con-
verted into permanent betterments,
and assets. The opportunity for the
grossest frauds occurs in putting a fic-
titious value on the betterments and
assets. But when the valuation is justly
made, it is considered perfectly legi-
innate and conservative process, found
ed on perfectly sound business princi-
pies.
The betterments and assets of the
Eva plantation have been estimated
by the assessor for the purpose of tax
alton, at over $4,000, 009, and this esti-
mate, after contest in the Courts has
been confirmed. Such a confirmation
dispOses Of any question as to intrinsic
values. The case Is different from that
Of the Western Union, Of which there
Is an outstanding issue of over $780,
100000 in values OF stock, values de-
pendent, however, on contracts with
railroad corporations to do their tele-
graphic service.
The time has come for those who
are studying the morals of financial
corporations, in civilized countries, TO
become acquainted with the slngularly
honest management Of the sugar cor
porations on these Islands. excluding
several well known cases.
II the promoters" and capitalists of
the financial centres, clearly compre-
hended the fidelity and the uniform
integrity of the financial managers of
these plantations. and their indisposi-
ton to permit inflated values. they
would be not only surprised. but deep
ly grieved, that they had not been per-
mitted by Providence to open some
schools OF finance here.
No doubt we shall soon have some
Of these pioneer promoters here, who
will point out the large flocks Of
lambs" on the Mainland that are
ready to be roasted and eaten by the
gentlemanly wolves.

PEACE PROSPECTS.

The dispatches from Washington
and Europe have the ear marks Of
peace negotiations, But the public and
the newspapers have not been taken
into confidence by the diplomats. Pre-
sideLt Mckinley is overwhelmed with
advice from the people who are deeply
interested in the war, and he does not
propose to solicit advice about the
terms Of peace.
There Is evidently some strong sus-
picion that the President may be too
moderate In his demands. The nation
al blood is very hot, but the Presidents
blood Is cool, as the responsibility
rests upon him of making the nego-
rations for peace. The Constitution
does not expressly allow him to make
terms of peace. He is Commander-in-
Chief, but that Office does not imply
the power to acquire territory, or fix
terms of indemnity.
Congress alone can declare war, Cart.
!, Sec. IL under the Constitution, and
1t alone, it is presumed has the power
to fix the terms of peace,
Practically, the President negotiates
the terms, and Congress ratiRes them.
Should he conclude terms of peace,
he will do so, after consulting his sup
porters in Congress. and upon such
terms that Congress will probably ra-
tify.
These negotiations are probably now
being made, but they involve so many

men, and he was removed. Then came
Burnside who Numbered 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 blunders.
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
II is the inevitable incident Of war.
No doubt, the young men who volun-
teer SO freely, and periodically would
hesitate to do 80, II they realized in

ing really done anything for the good

THE HAWAIIAN FLAG.

After the vote by the Senate on the
Joint resolution Of annexation, Mr.. l..
A. Thurston asked Senator c. X. Davis,
the Chairman OF the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, IL there would be any
objection of retaining the Hawaiian
flag as the territorial flag.
Senator Davis replied, that 80 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" to
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

on the subject into the heads Of the
natives, and disturb them.
The fact is now pretty we'll known
that the makers OF the Constitution
did not foresee what vast territory
would be acquired by the Nation
aside from the large territory
that belonged to the original States.
So they simply provided in that in
strument that Congress should have
the right TO make "all needful rules
and regulations for the government
OF territories" and stopped just at that
point. Nothing was said about the
rights of the people who might live In
the territories. 1t was assumed that
Congress would take care Of them
Justly and generously until they were
converted into States.
The Constitution did not say. "as
residents Of States you are fully cap
able Of self government, but as resi-
dents Of territory you are not 1T to
tdhV uAe Vi iuCo
was that territory should be con-
sidered a minor child, until 1t had
certain number OF people. and then 1t
was made over into State, and con-
sidered to be OF age, and able to take
care Of itself.
The Supreme Court has, however,
been called upon repeatedly TO define
the relations of the territories to the
Federal Government. II has inter-
preted or applied the Constitution, to
these relations, and has had some diff
Guilty in doing so, because the Consti-
tuition is silent on the subject. But
this great Court has laid down some
very definite law, which Congress must
observe or the Court will pull It's ears,
as 1t does occasionally.
Several years ago, the power of Con-
gress to break up the Mormon Church
Of Utah, then territory, was before
this great Court, and these words were
used in the decision OF the case.
1.-THE plenary power OF Congress over
the territories combine that Of local
proprietor OF land, and regulator Of
local government. Doubtless the pow
err is subject by implication to all fun
damental limitations, in favor OF in
dividual rights which are now formu-
lated in the Federal Constitution and
its amendments" 136 U. 8. X. ~
The plain meaning OF this Is, that
Congress cannot do just as 1t likes with
the people of a territory. II 1t deprives
them OF rights" the Court will pro-
tect the people. But the difficulty Is.
in ascertaining just what tie rights
are.
So far as the natives are concerned,
they need not have the least fear re-
garding the Commissioners. There
could not have been selected from the
vast population OF the country, 1t Is
safe to say, four men more friendly
to the natives, or who will be more
strenuous in protecting them. than
Morgan, Hit, Dole and Frear, and
probably Senator Cullom also.
What the action Of Congress will be
on their report Is another matter. But
the tendency of the men In Congress
is towards the broadcast and most de-
mocratic self rule.
The natives are in good hands. and
will get all they require or need politi-
cally.

These men, on emigrating to the
