THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Again Asserted That They Have Been
 Rendered to United States.

Honolulu, May 20, via San Francisco, May 27.--The Hawaiian Star published the following yesterday: There is no doubt whatever that the Hawaiian government has made distinct tender of the islands to the executive of the United States. The news has been published in many of the coast and eastern papers and has been denied. The Star is in a position to state that such a letter has been written and that a reply to it is being awaited here. This reply will probably reach Honolu- lu by the next mail. It is impossible to get the exact text of the letter, and the island executive does not feel that it is diplomatic courtesy that the let ter should be given to the public here before the United States government can reply. The mere fact that the transports are coming here and the isl- ands are to be used as base for SUD- plies for the Manila squadron makes large number of people think the offer will be undoubtedly accepted.'

Completed by Prof. TrOwbrfdge for Ex-
 periments in Electrical Force.

Boston, May 27.-A new and powerful apparatus has just been completed by Professor John T'rowbridge of Harvard university for experiments in electrical force, his principal object being to test further the penetrating power of the X-ray. The apparatus consists of a series of 120 Franklin plates or Leydon jars, supplied with power by a storage battery containing 10000 plantecels. The voltage necessary for experiments is 2,500,000. Professor Trowbridge has already made experiments which prove that with apparatus as powerful as this the X-rays can be made to penetrate not only human flesh, but also bones and tendons, thus probably making pos sible still more remarkable attainments in surgery by their aids.

pines Adequate Means of Defense
 Capt. AuMon Counsels Reserve.
 Madrid, May 27.4 D. m.--In the sem ate to-day Marshal Primo de Rivera, former captain general of the Philip pines, defended his administration of the colony. He said he could not be- lieve his ears when he was told of the disaster at Cavita, adding: That rag called the American flag, shall never float over the walls of Manila
 'The Philippines,' he continued, ''had not had adequate means of defense. He appealed to the government to supply them, but the government answered that the pope had intervened and that there was no fear of rupture. The naval committee at Manila examined into the position carefully and reached the conclusion that it was quite im- possible to offer battle to the Ameri- can squadron.
 The Yankees are deceiving them- selVes," Marshal de Rivera declared, ''as to the situation at the Philippines. It is absolutely impossible that they should become masters of the islands for the natives, to an immense majori- ty are determined to defend the terri tory to the last and to maintain Span- ish sovereignty
 Captain Aunon, minister of marine, said it was inopportune to discuss the war at present. He had neither ap- proval nor disapproval to express of Marshal de Rivera's administration, but he considered it necessary to exer- else a certain reserve in the interests of the country.
 In the chamber of deputies Senor Ro- nero Giron, the minister for the colo nies, replying to questions respecting the Austrian government, the governor of the Philippines to concede adminis- trative reforms, said Captain General Augusti had been authorized to act in the manner he deemed most desirable to draw the natives to the Spanish side.

Horses of Light Artillery Put Through
 Faces for First Time.

Camp Haven, State Military Rendez- vous Mantle, Conn, May 27.-The rid ing course marked out by Colonel Bur- dette, near the spiritualists' camp grounds, was the scene to-day of many amusing experiences, which were huge ly enjoyed by the onlookers. Two horses of the light artillery were put through their paces with saddles for the first time, and it was apparent that the rain did at least some good, as when the mounts were unexpectedly hurled over the horses to mother earth the fact that the men landed in soft places saved many of them from severe bruises.

Caused by Fuller Approximations of
 Difficulties of Situation.

London, May 2S-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Times, commenting on the feeling of sadness prevailing in Spain," says: "It is less on account of ministerial dissensons, which are not really serious, than on account of a fuller apprehension of the difficulties of the situation, namely, that it is hopeless to expect any assistance from Europe, even France and Russia being since MT. Chamberlain's speech, averse from doing anything to precipitate complications. Spain now sees that she must trust to herself alone in an hequal struggle that can have one end only"

 St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, May 27.-The latest advices from Porto Rico say that foreigners recently landed at San Juan considerable provisions. From the same authority it appears the war preparations continue. It is reported that after the bombardment Spain offered to send warships to Por- to Rico from Martinique but the offer was refused because of the confidence of the military authorities that they could successfully repulse the Ameri- can fleet. The Spaniards at San Juan declare taht they will burn the city before they will surrender. It is inn possible to ascertain which cable or cables the auxiliary cruiser St. Louis cut.

These islands (Hawaii) constitute a
rich field for capitalism. A few years
ago a gang of American capitalists,
with their paid hangers-on, overthrow
the native monarchy and set up what
they called a republic, with Sanford
Dole as President. Under this Gre
public" only a few thousand of the
rich can take any part in the govern
ment. But even this advancement is
hardly satisfactory to the great sugar
magnates. So now Hawaii has been
annexed and is to be governed by a
commission appointed by the presi.
dent of the United States. And in the
annexation treaty great care was
taken that the contract labor laws OF
Hawaii, under which coolie slavery
exists, should be continued in force.

Wheat Prices-75 Cents or
As Cents? .,

Editor Tribune:-
The visible supply of wheat in the
United States on August %, 1898, was
less than 6,OOO, ZOO bushels, although
the receipts at Minneapolis aud Duluth
was 1145 cars on that day. The price
fxers in Peavy and
Pillsbury-held that so cent wheat at
Minneapolis was not low enough for
September wheat. Millers and ele-
vator men bought spot wheat freely,
country mills are bare of supply and
bins must be filed, but in spite of that
the price fxers hold that wheat mrst
go down to IS cents in Minneapolis.
What say you, brother farmer? Will
you begin to study the question, who
it. is that steals the value of your
crops? Read the following warning
to Minneapolis people to be on their
guard against those who curtail Min
neapolis trade and market values.
Is MINNEAPOLIS BACK NUMBER:
To the editor of the Journal:
The merchants of country villages are organ
izing to keep up the price of wheat so as to
draw trade to their places. Minneapolis manu-
| facturers, wholesalers, retailers and real
estate men do not act that way at all They
| are proud of their -four mills and in their ad-
miration Of the 900 barrels per day capacity
| they do not see that so cent wheat at country
stations leaves the farmer so small a margin
that his purchases are limited, whereas 70 cent
wheat on the $50, DOC, 900 bushel crop tributary
| to Minneapolis and Duluth would be $5O0O0,OOO
more in the farmers pockets with which to
purchase goods. Wake up you fogies of
Minneapolis and recognize your own interests
and the interests of those who have made and
, do maintain your city, or else you will decay
like your twin brother down the river.

SILVER UP DATE.

A discussion by G. A. Towne
anent the proposition of the
British monetary commission to
open the mints of India to the
free coinage of gold and silver at
the ratio of 90 to appear in the
Duluth Herald as follows
Il was very much surprised
although I had for some time
been aware, from my own pri-
vate correspondence with certain
of the leading English bimetal-
lists and from having somewhat
closely followed recent develop
ments in England and India, that
there Was every reason to an
ticipate such report from the
commission, The events that
have led up to this situation are
exceedingly interesting. It is
perhaps worthy of remark, as a
commentary on the wisdom of
our gold standard Republican
managers, that, at precisely the
time when they have been adopt
ing out and out platform declara-
tons for the gold system and re-
pudiating even the international
agreement feature of their 1896
platform; and while their
thoughtless and uniformed news
papers, like the News Tribune,
have been more violently than
ever asserting that the silver
question was dead, as a matter
of fact that question has been
entering more acute and i'm
portant phase than at any time
since 1898 when the Indian mints
were closed and the Sherman
law was repealed. Indeed, it is
not too much to say that the gold
standard idol was never in such
danger of overthrow since it's ILL.,
considered erection in 1873 as it
is now, just when the Republican
conventions are prostrating
themselves with emphasized self
abasement before it.
1.-The News Tribune this morn
ing had an editorial, partly origi-
nal in it's errors, but chiefly
copied from the Baltimore Sun,
one of the Eastern journals that
hold brief for the gold brokers,
in which it gives utterance anew
to the cry that gold production is
now increasing faster than the
demands of commerce: I won't
stop now to refute this ridiculous
statement, but l want to call your
attention to the fact that in Eng.
land the scarcity Of gold is. So
clearly recognized that an over.
whelming sentiment exists
against the proposals Of Lord
Hamilton toput India upon the
gold standard. Even the
Istaunchest defenders Of the gold
standar there oppose the scheme
an and i is cognized that to at
tempt to get. togeth the gold
