Bob" Gardeners Launch Is Here
From kahului.

"Bob'' Gardeners Launch Is Here
From kahului.
At an early hour yesterday afternoon
there came up the passage a steam
launch from Kahului, Maui, brought
down for repairs and cleaning by R. A.
Lucas. She is we'll known along the
Maui coast but is a stranger here. Peo-
pie along the water front did not know
what to make OF her at first.
The Mohea, for such is the name of
the launch, left Kahului on Tuesday
and went TO Kaunakahakai, having
run short of water From there she
came direct to this port. The intention
of R. A. Gardner, the owner, is to use
her for the transportation of fresh fish
from Molokai to Honolulu, twice every
week. She is fast little boat, hav-
ing made 10 knots on more than one
occasion. This fact added to that of
bringing the fish down on ice, should
speak very we'll for the enterprise. A
stall will be rented at the fishmarket,
and there the fish will be on sale. In
order to insure people of getting fish, a
telephone will be placed in the stall.
The Mohea will remain here long
enough to get fitted up properly when
she will proceed to Molokai in order to
start in one the work she is now in
tended for.

Disgraceful as was the scene in the House,
Wednesday afternoon. it can be said with
truth that from the early Congresses until
recent years members have INDUCED in per-
sonal encounters and collisions. In one of
the early Houses one member assaulted an
other with the tongs which stood beside
the fireplace. Before the war there were
several collisions in which a number of
members engaged, in one of which the wig
of Barksdale, of Mississippi, was tossed up
in the gallery.
1t can be added that it does not lie with
any European people to assail our Congress
as the only offender in this line. During
the consideration of Mr.. Gladstone's Irish
bill, upon which his party was subsequent
ly defeated. there was a riotous outbreak
to which that of the House on Wednesday
was of little consequence. A large number
of members participated, and the melee was
kept up for some time and Mr.. Gladstone
was reported to have witnessed it with
every indication of deep sorrow. Once in
a while the German legislative body INDUCES
in an outbreak something like that of the
House on Wednesday. The Austro- Hun
garian Legislature held session after ses-
sion which was devoted to mob violence.
The French Assembly which does not have
a scene two or three times a session does
not sustain its reputation.
1t is curious fact, but still fact, that
men who go about their ordinary pur-
suits quietly and soberly seem to lose their
self-control when they find themselves in
public assemblies. LIT is rare that conven-
ton or assembly Of any kind is held in
which there is debate that the gesticulating,
shouting person does not appear He is
as frequently seen in religious conferences
as in political conventions. He seems to be
moved by an uncomfortable impulse. He is
a Observation-Disclosures who shouts "Mr. Chair
man, Mr.. Chairman" standing on the chair
in which he should be seated. After a
scene the spasm passes off for a time, but
in the course of a days meeting he is likely
to break out two or three times. Doubtless
some one has explained or can explain what
there is in the atmosphere of an assembly
which deprives some men of the semblance
of sanity.
Men who are elected to Congress should
early acquire the self-control and the self
respect which will enable them to conduct
themselves with becoming dignity. 1t is
not becoming for members to taunt each
other as partisans across the aisles of the
hall. 1t would be well for the House to
have school of decorum.

Senator Turpie's reference to getting rid
of kings and declaring freedom from bond
holders is in keeping with his malignant
demagogy. Spains bonds have nothing
whatever to do with the question under
consideration, as none of them are held in
this country, but the bonds of the republic
of Cuba as it now exists, which have been
sold for cent or cents on the dollar, or
given away to secure influence by the Gu
ban Junto, are matter of some impor-
lance 1t would be of very little avail for
the Cubans to be free of Spain if it should
find itself saddled with bonded debt of
three or four hundred millions of dollars
for which no benefit has been received.
Freedom from bondholders as theory is
an assault upon the holder of every United
States, state or county or municipal
bond. Doubtless the senator does not mean
that, but when he gets his bottle of poison
and box of rattlesnakes about him he may
say things that he would not indorse after
ward. Freedom from the bondholders in
wolves a reputation Of all public debts.

THE RIGHT OF INTERVENTION.

The report of the Senate committee on
foreign relations accompanying the Cuban
resolutions was very able paper, strong
in argument and clear in statement. A
strong point in favor of the right of inter-
vention is the following:
The balance of power and the Monroe
doctrine are both policies of Intervention,
70 be effected in certain contingencies in
furtherance Of national policies, and to JUS
thy which no canon of international law
was ever invoked. The former has pro-
foundly affected the relations of the Euro
pean states and the Independence of many
the powers of Europe QUE Of the American
continents ever since II was promulgated.
1t was distinct announcement that the
United states would intervene under GER
tain expressed circumstances in the affairs
of every Central American and South Amer
by threat and show of force in the affairs
of Mexico and France, and compelled the
evacuation of that republic by a European
power whose own prior Intervention in
Mexican affairs had overthrown a repub-
lican establishment and established the
monarchy upon the ruins. No publicist has
ever asserted that either of these policies
is part of the law of nations.
This puts the right of intervention on
high ground-that of interfering either to
maintain a status quo, to establish order.
preserve the peace Of the world, or for self
protection. 1t is true, as stated, that this is
the fundamental idea of the Monroe doc
trine as asserted by the United States and
of the balance of power as enforced by Eu-
ropean governments. One means that the
United States will intervene at its discretion
to preserve the peace of the western hem
isphere. and the other means that Euro
rean powers will intervene to preserve the
peace of that continent and prevent a re-
construction of its map During the last
half-century there have been many cases of
intervention in Europe by one or more
states in the affairs of another There was
the Intervention in Italy in 1S4S to re-es-
tablish the temporal power Of the Pope; the
Intervention in the Crimea to insure the in
tegrity of the Turkish empire; the inter-
vention in Italy for the re-establishment of
italian nationality; the Intervention in
Syria for the protection of the Christians;
the Intervention in China under pretext of
suppressing acts Of cruelty committed upon
the missionaries, but in reality to extend
the commercial relations of France and
England; the Intervention Of France in
Mexico and counter intervention of the
United States; the Intervention in the re-
cent Turco-Grecian war, and other cases.
No nation ever had better cause for inter-
vention in the affairs of another than the
United States has in the present case,
though really our best cause of war is the
destruction Of the Maine
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-04-15

remote supposition, for when the President
turned the whole matter over to Congress
he said: Prepared to execute every obliga-
ton imposed upon me by the Constitution
and the law, 1 wait your action" This was
equivalent to saying that he was prepared
to execute in good faith any policy Congress
might decide upon. Congress seems dis
posed to provide against any delay in inter
vention by directing that it be done "at
once but in affairs of such magnitude that
expression might be construed with consid-
cradle liberality.
Another point in which there might be a
divergence of views between Congress and
the President is as to what Intervention
itself means. Would it be to make war
against the Spaniards alone, ignoring the
insurgents, to unite with the insurgents, or
to separate the complaints as one does
two men fighting and compel both to de-
sist? Congress evidently expects interview
ton to be for the purpose of driving Spain
out of Cuba, in other words Intervention
against Spain alone. The President in his
recent message said: Intervention involves
hostile restraint upon both parties to the
contest, as well to enforce a truce, as to
guide the eventual settlement This seems
to regard intervention as a measure to COM
mand the peace.
These speculations. conjectural as they
are have some foundation, but it is likely
they will all be swept aside by the first
overt act towards intervention. AS there
can be no such thing as peaceabIe interven-
ton, and as the President is empowered and
the United States in backing up whatever
he may do, the first step towards interven-
ton will probably be an act of war and the
first gun that is fired will mean the liberia
ton and independence of Cuba and the ex-
pulsion of Spain from the western hemis-
nharo
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-04-15

In his speech yesterday Senator Turpie
construed the Presidents reference to lin
ternational obligations" as implying a pos
sibility that the Spanish debts were to be
cared for by any government that might be
set up in Cuba" Senator Turpie is clearly
mistaken. The President asked Congress
for authority ito take measures to secure
a full and final termination of hostilities be-
tween the government of Spain and the
people of Cuba, and to secure in the island
the establishment of a stable government
capable Of maintaining order and observing
it's international obligations" He had al
ready alluded to the fact that 1.-The Spanish
government cannot assure safety and secur-
ity to a vessel of the American navy in
the harbor of Havana on a mission of
peace, and rightfully there" This was the
sort of international obligation which he
wanted a government that would observe,
not Spanish-Cuban bonds, which are in no
sense international obligations Senator
Turpie did the President injustice, proba-
bly, Intentionally.

force to protect it and defend it, and they
could not afford to mass up their men there's,
that the capital and the government Off
Gals had to move where they could be
safest" General Lee said he did not know
any Of the officials connected with their civ
number probably 81 900 or 1000. The NUM-
Der has been up probably as high as 5000
or 81 900 men well armed. The ammunition
varies, The Spanish force was probably ha,-
600 or $1,000.
General Lee said that an American army
of occupation could get into the island with
safety now. The climate. nor anything else,
need prevent them entering Cuba. General
Lee said that when he left Havana the
Spanish troops had not been paid for about
nine months and the Spanish officers for
about four months.
Senator Daniel-Do you think General
Blanco was lacking in courtesy TO you on
leaving the island?
General Lee-I went with the British
consul general. saw Dr. Congosto. the Sec
rotary to the general. j told DR.. Congosto
that | had received instructions to leave
the island and go to the United States, and
called to pay my final respects to General
he would go and let him know. He went Off
and, after staying about fifteen minutes,
came back and said the general said to
please excuse him: he was not well ana
was lying down. 1 told DIR. Congosto to say
goodbye to him, and / turned around and
left.
Senator Daniel-Were there any demon
strations of ill-will toward you as you left?
General Lee-When we were coming out
on the steamer, Saturday evening, there
was some hallooing, cat-calling and whist
ling, and s0tt Spanish expressions. mean
think this was confined to the lower order
of men, however.
