not been adopted IN it's final form In either
branch of congress before his preparations
had been made to add 5000, 900 900 to the bond

desirous OF an enlarged bnsis for the present
undesirable system of bank note issues, but
It does not appear ut the moment to suit the
larger public interest.
The war revenue bill provides for coin
Ing the seigniorage and for the issuance
OF short time certificates. The govern
ment during the year can have the use
OF about 100000, 900 for war purposes,
without touching money derived from bond
sales. Is thIs sum not sufficient to bring
Spain to terms--a bankrupt country al

One OF two things Is certain: Either
there will be no need for 5000, 900 900 from
bond sales, or the government will be
grossly incompetent in the conduct of tho
war!
There was no necessity in the first place

We are now getting some practical ex-

allies--the people we went to war for.
Upon the whole they present an agree-
able surprise. We were prepared to Ind
them unframed and undlsciplined, and so
they are to the lamentable extent Of
handling rifles in manner dangerous TO
the lives of their American friends and
filling tho ground full Of holes.
On the other hand, the Cubans seem
fully sensible of what we are doing for
them, are amenable to discipline, eager to
fight, sufficiently brave, and have such a
whole -souled hatred for the Spanish rs to
compensate for the many lacking qualit CO

bered, too. that for the first time in years

seems a good prospect that in fighting side

pathy. with steady, we'll seasoned troops
and with a knowledge that power and
wealth are at last actually behind them,
the insurgent force may prove to be
very valuable adjunct to our conquest Of

At that time they had a native popu-

closely allied to the Maories OF New

The capital of the country Is HonU-

Exports from the islands in 1896
were Sugar, sls 933 000 rice, $780,
900; bananas. SIPS, 900 The imports
are chiefly groceries and provisions,
clothing. grain. timber, machinery.

The climate of Hawaii Is one OF the
mildcst and most healthful in the
world So eauable is 1t that there Is
no word for weather in the native lam
guage. The mean temperature is 20
degrees Fahrenheit.
The origin OF the islands Is volcanic.
They are very mountainous and the
valleys are extremely fertile. The. up
lands are better adapted for sheep
raising than for tillage. The noun
tains are covered with dense forests.

seldom do any damage. The volca-

large areas OF the land with lava,

has had numerous eruptions-tbe last

and 1S43 more than $1,000. 900. 900 cubic
