GrOsvenOr'S Estimate

In letter, dated April %, which has inst
neeh made public, Gen Grosvenor. VINO Is
regarded as the mouthpiece of the Presi-
dent in the House, says that a low csti-
mate of the cost of the war is 81 00o o0o ooo
In the course of his letter. which is ad-
dressed to one of the large wholesale gro
Gerry houses Of Ohio, Mr.. Grosvenor saws:
so far we have heard vociferous clamor
for immediate war, and the President has
been rushed by political agitation into war
when in the judgment of very manv men
diplomacy would have settled the whole
matter No protest came from the com
try against the yellow newspaper litera-
ture and the bowling of the deuapoeuas
and the self-seeking politicians But TIE
moment that taxation stared the people i'm
the race and we began to look about Us
Tor indispensable revenue. we have pro
tests from every interest that we sought
to attach. They are all patriotic and desire
the revenue to be raised but they all
desire that it should be raised off some
body otlw than themselves"
Here We have 1t from one of the Presi-
dents closest friends that he was against
the war, and believed that our differences
with Spain could be settled by diplomacy.
This statement however, is not new. II
was known at the time that war was de-
clared that the President was against the
course taken by Congress, and that he
used his influence to prevent war All
that however, is ancient history, together
with the assertion that even those who
favored war object to being taxed to carry
it on. We are all willing that somebody
else shall be taxed for war purposes.
But what is really new in Mr.. Grosven-
or's letter is the estimate he makes Of
the probable cost of the war That csti-
mate, 1t is reasonable to suppose, has the
approval of the President
In the House the other day the chair
man OF the committee on appropriations
said that the war. if it should continue a
year, would cost ut least $500. 100000 In ad-
minisration circles therefore, the end Of
the war is not looked for inside of three
years, and it is not expected to cost much
less than $2,000000,000 That would be
burden that would be felt for a couple of
generations. However, it is no time now
to draw dismal pictures of the cost or
length of the war. The thing to do is to
prosecute the war vigorously, with the
purpose of bringing it 60 a successful end
as quickly as possible.

An AMERICAN ARMY POST
LOCATION FOR IT NOW BEING
SOUGHT.
Many Places Examined but No Selec-
ton Yet Made--Not Easy to Find
just the Place

Colonel Barber is not having as
easy time in selecting a site for the
new military post as has been antic-
ipated Suitable places have not yet
been obtainable near town, and it is
likely that some time will yet elapse
before a permanent site is chosen.
AS it will be impossible to coop up
the men of the Honolulu garrison in
the small vessels which will bring
them down, and at the best it will
be two months before suitable build
ings could be made ready for occu-
pancy, something has to be done at
once.
There is but one thing to be done"
said prominent military man, "and
that is to use the drill shed and pa
rade grounds temporarily. The shed
will make a good mess room and the
men can sleep in tents or on the floor
of the she'd The old barracks could
easily be turned into comfortable
quarters for the officers. Everything
about the place will belong to the
American government after noon to-
morrow, and there is no reason why
their troops should not use it, The
place is too small for permanent
post but it will do very well for a
couple of months. The old barracks
will accommodate a hundred officers,
the drill shed will hold probably 500
cots and the rest of the men can sleep
in tents. The cots could be moved
out in the day time and tables for the
mems meals set up on trestles. The
kitchen and paraphernalia could be
put together in twenty-four hours and
there you are, with little or no ex-
pense to Uncle Sam. who will have
plenty of time to look around and Sc
cure the best permanent site he can
| for his money"

THE PATRIOTIC THRILL.

That was a fine thrill of patriotism which ran through the great audience at the Hyperion last evening, and brought it to it's feet and kept it stand ing while Sousa's musicians grandly played the glorious Star Spangled Banner" And it is deeply impressive to consider that all over this broad land the same patriotism is stirring the people to heights of feeling and depths of resolution. Sweet land of liberty!" With all its faults and all its evils there is no land so good in all the earth, no land so worthy of a patriots devo- tion The sacred fire is burning clear and steady in the hearts of it's sons and daughters, and they are ready to do and if need be to die for their beloved country. God grant that they may not be called upon to make the sacrifices they would deem it sweet and fitting to make if there were need.

THERE VAS 4 WATE.

Perhaps no idea connected with the Maine disaster is more generally ac- cepted than the idea that there was no such wave as might have been ex- pected when the explosion occurred. Spaniards have said there was Q wave but their testimony hasn't counted. commander of the English steamer Vimeira, which is in Boston harbor, and gives some evidence that will conl- mand attention. Here is his descrip- tion of what he felt and saw: The evening of February 15 was very warm and I had pushed a couch near the door of my cabin on the upper deck. The wind was blowing gently from the northeast and the night was unusually dark and quiet. Suddenly I heard an awful roaring crash The Vimeira was lifted upon tremendous wave and then bumped violently against the sides of the dock to which we were fastened. I ran out on deck and saw the whole harbor lighted up. The first thought which struck me was that the Spanish war vessel had been blown up, but on looking through my marine glass saw was wrong. The smoke and flames made it impossible for a few moments to learn what the trouble was, but when the cloud lifted I saw that it was the American ship which had gone to pieces I heard the Quar- termaster of the Alfonso XII. blow his whistle for a full muster of the ships crew, and during the next ten minutes all the men aboard the Spanish vessel were working like devils, mooring the boat about 300 feet further north and nearer where my boat was lying. Then, when the anchors had been recast, the small boats were launched and the work of rescue began.
 This is certainly a straight story, and wherever it is known will set one doubt at rest.

THE REPORT IN WASHINGTON.

THE REPORT IN WASHINGTON.
 The anxlously awaited report of the court of inquiry is in Washington, but though the yellow papers may give what purports to be its conclusions it is not likely that the real report will be made public until the President has had time to consider it and perhaps write to congress about 1t.
 There is nothing for the people to do but to wait and be as discreet and cool as possible. If inflammatory feeling cannot be wholly subdued inilamma- tory speech and action can be. It seems to be believed in Washington that the report will be sent to congress Monday. The war talk continues, but war ihas not yet been declared. The President said yesterday that he would avert war if possible and hoped to be able to do so.

WHEN QUEEN VICTORIA WAS A
 CHILD

CHILD.
 In pleasant and sequestered Esher there are still to be heard stories rom the villagers of the days when the queen, as the little Princess Victoria, used to visit her uncle Leopold at Claremont. We all know how dearly she loved riding her donkey in Ken sington Gardens. But when she wis., ited her uncle Leopold appears to nave provided a white pony for her amuse- ment. Only the other day chancea to meet the daughter of the lad Who led the princess pony about the lanes of Esher. When my father was lad,' said this informant, "he was em- ployed a good deal at Claremont, and I have many times heard him say with pride how he led the queen about on her pony wfien she was a child. It was a white pony that she rode, and she used to love to canter up and down the village street. She was plump, fair haired little girl, and used to wear a broad brimmed straw hat with a rib bon round it. The Duchess of Kent used to like my father to lead the pony very quietly, but the princess would sometimes coax him to let it gallop a bit. She was a very spirited little thing, and she would laugh with de- light if she could get bit of gallop, and leave her mother and the ladies behind" On Sunday the little princess was the observed of all observers as she sat in the Claremont pew in the old Esher church, which has not now been used for service for over fifty years.
 Miss Porter, the author of "The Scottish Chiefs" has graphically de- scribed Princess Victoria in these days. Miss Porter lived with her mother and sister in cottage just below the church, and was fortunate in having a pew which directly faced the Clare mont pew. She has recorded that on one occasioA the princess seemed So 1 wrapped up in the sermon that she did l not take her eyes from the ministers s | face although mortified Miss Porter saw that bee was buzzing around the l little royal head, and she expected 1 every moment to see it alight upon the princess face. No harm happened l however. The little princess absorbed attention can be accounted for from the fact that the Duchess of Kent al ways required her on her return from church to repeat the texts and the 1 heads of the discourse. I felt sorry I during a recent visit to Esher, tt see this historic pew, where Princes. Charlotte used each Sunday to worship | during her brief married life anf which has so many interesting memo ries connected with the queens early | visits to Claremont, in such dilapi l dated and neglected condition.--Wo l man at Home.

THE OREGON,S VOFAGE.

The voyage which the Oregon, one of the big warships of the United States is to make calls attention sharply to the need of a Nicaragua canal. An or- der has been issued by the Navy de- pertinent for the immediate sailing of the battleship Oregon to Key West, where the big fighting machine is to join the North Atlantic squadron. The execution of this order necessitates a journey of over 14,OOO miles, consuming sixty days, a distance representing over one-half the circumference of the globe. She is now steaming southward for the Peruvian port of Callao, 4,O12 long sea miles from the Golden Gate, which will be her first port of call There she will replenish her bunkers for another run of 2,666 miles to the Chilian coaling station of Punta Are mas, in the Straits of Magellan Thence the Oregon will proceed to Montevideo, Uruguay, in the Atlantic, on the Rio Plate, 1912 miles distant, and from there another long run will be made across the equator and up the coast of Brazil, 4,227 miles in all, to Barbadoes, in the Windward Islands. Another and a final run of 1860 miles will carry the Oregon to the nearest of our Amer ican naval stations at Key West. Un- der high pressure the Oregon can make this voyage of 19579 miles inside of forty-five days, but she is under orders to make her voyage at an economical rate of speed, which will be from 220 to 240 miles a day. It will therefore be about June 1 before she joins the North Atlantic squadron.
 With the Nicaragua canal completed the Oregon could make the trip from San Francisco to Key West by steam ing 4,O00 miles. a journey that could be accomplished in twenty days, and at an enormous saving of coal. And what would be good for warships would be good for other ships.
