IMPORTANCE OF HAWAII.

The statement that Spain wants two
Chilean armored ships now in the Pa
cific because they would enable her
to ravage on the western coast of the
United States i'm the event of war, IS
not alarming. says the San Francisco
Chronicle, The vessels in question
could get no coal or repairs after the
war had broken out at any point
short of the Philippine Islands, and
perhaps if Commodore Dewey did his
duty, not there. They would probab-
~ try to seize the coal supplies at
Honolulu. but the presence i'm that
port of such vessel as the Monterey,
and the mounting of a big gun or
two on shore. would be likely to keep
them at a distance. Given n protect

AMERICAN ARMS.

One of the most striking facts no.
ticed by General Miles in his recent
trip abroad, was the large use made
by the European armies of American
weapons, particularly of machine, rap
id fire and small guns. At Aldershot
every one of the British regiments
that swept past in review was follow
ed by machine gun of American in
vention. The entire British army is
armed with a rifle designed by an
American, and the Germans have be-
gun the purchase of number of
American machine guns. Russia also
used American ideas in her army, and
the French are only deferred by the
expense from throwing away their
present outfit and adopting American
machine and rapid firing guns.

was written in a kind of Chinese char

DESTRUCTION OF THE MAINE.

uct and work of mans hand, the
mighty monarch of the morning
may be a dead, inanimate VIZ eek
in the same evening. Such was
the condition, the fate of the grand
United States battle-ship, Maine,
on the morning and evening, or
night, of last Tuesday.
What sad spectacle: how truly
does the destruction of this great
Man-Of-War teach Civilization
how uncertain are the things of
this life.
Scarcely month ago it was
when, with a thrill of pride, Amer
leans read that the mighty war
cruiser, emblem of the Unions
sovereignty on the High Seas, had
steamed for tina port of Havana
some said to show our Nations
continued friendliness to Spain:
others to quiet the lingo talk in
Congress; still others, that it was
done to sustain Consul-General
Lee, and protect American citi-
zens and their interests in the Gu
ban capital. Be these ideas and
statements truth or error in whole
or in part as they may be; Ameri-
cans who love liberty and patriot
ism above all worldly sentiments,
and sympathized with the Cuban
patriots, felt better satisfied when
they learned of her departure and
arrival. And, we feel satisfied
that the American citizens there,
enjoyed deeper sense of security
when they looked across the bay
and beheld the Stars and Stripes
floating in the breezes, and saw
those big guns with their protect
ing muzzles turned towards the
city.
But what does all this amour to
now? This war-ship, Maine; this
leviathan of ocean-war is now a
wreck, her remains resting on the
bottom of the gulf off the coast of
Havana. with less power to do
harm than the smallest fish which
now glides curiously through her
mammoth apartments, vainly won
dering what this new creature of
the main is?
But let us return to the Maine of
Tuesday.
The gulf was wrapped in dark
ness around her, save where her
great lights threw their rays over
her somber bosom. The weather
was warm and pleasant, because
that is quite a Southern climate.
Suspecting no harm, fearing no
evil, apprehending no danger all
was quiet and peaceful on board as
the sun disappeared behind the
Western horizon on this terrible

rudder as if in mortal agony, a
thunderous roar followed, her for
ward part rent in sunder by an ex-
| plosion, and this majestic steed of
the sea, with nearly a quarter
! thousand of American seamen
| were hurled into destruction.
So terrible was the force of the
explosion that the city of Havana
shook as from an earthquake.
Excitement was intense, and soon
the shore was lined with people,
all Natioualities and classes catch
ing the fever Spanish boats were
sent out to render what aid they
could, and assisted in rescuing as
many as possible from the unfort-
unate vessel.
When the news reached Ameri-
ca, perfect thrill dashed through
the Union. From California
to Maine; from Washingto Oh to
Florida; from Minnesota to Tex
as and Louisiana; from Nevada to
Maryland and Virginia, hands of
men, women and children clinched,
there leaped into their eyes thai
look of resolution and spirit which
has written our Nations history on

airy, and
america Was Herself again!
What caused this? was the query
from every lip. We demand to
know, was the conclusion reached.
But if we have to wait for the
proper authorities to act of their
own accord, will an earnest effort
ever be made? We doubt it.
Weused to think that the coolest

or sea, was the cuttle-fsh. But we

redress, smothered by the avar ic-

ers.

Now of course this explosion may
have been an accident. It may have
occurred on the Maine herself. The
