WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, MAY %, 1898.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, MAY %, 1898.
There is more expectation than war
news in Washington, SO far as the pub.
lie is concerned. That Is why the
hourly rumor finds believers no matter
how wild it may be. There is news
important news-but it is of contem-
plated movements rather than of bat
ties fought or things accomplished; cob.
sequently it comes under the ban of the
censorship which has been established
by the government and is not allowed
to be made public. 1t relates to the
movements of our warships which are
trying to get that Spanish fleet which
is lodging around Cuban waters cor
nered where it will be bound to fight,
and there are reasons for expecting the
success of the efforts.
Talk il again prevalent of postpon
ing the invasion of Cuba until fall.
The reasons given are that the rainy
season will begin in Cuba about the
tenth of June, during which it will be
impossible to carry on an aggressive
campaign, and that it will require sey-
eral months time to manufacture the
amount of ammunition that will be
needed by the army, The feet that
this talk is semi officially encouraged,
instead of being rebuked, makes it
probable that it is intended 10 throw
the Spaniards off their guard. 1t is
only the Spaniards who have contended
that military operations could net be
carried on in Cuba during the rainy
season; the insurgents have proven to
the contrary by making their most &C.
tive campaign during that season.
United States troops may be landed IN
Cuba any day. What else are the
troops being hurried south for?
The administration thinks it will be
good policy for Congress to clinch the
friendliness expressed for this country
by the officials of France by making an
unusually large appropriation for
American representation at the big
Paris Exposition in l90O-something
like 81 100000.

Beware of OintmeMts for

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
OF smell and completely derange the

The Cars disarmament proposition
does not seem to meet with the APP
proval of Europe. France is especial
ly suspicious of it. That the great
European and Asiatic military power
should advocate a general reduction OF
armed force in face of the fact that
she must keep a large armed force on
her frontiers to protect them from
the aggression of semi-savage neigh
bors, certainly is a rather suspicious
circumstance. 1t may be all straight
and above board, but other govern
ments are not to be blamed if they
feel a very grave doubt.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-09-08
ATHLETICS.

One of the healthiest signs about
this community is the interest it
takes in the athletic sports of its
young men. There is nothing that is
better for the growing generation
than healthy activity, which calls
forth endurance, skill, temperance and
self denial. A man DEVOTED to active
sport must bring forth these attributes
if he is to be successful. Clean sport
means a clean body and clean mind.
Thirty years ago we had no ath-
letics, there was no regular baseball
club, no cricket, no tennis, no golf,
no football, no boating, nothing to call
the muscles of the young men into
play, and the consequence was that
there was far more vice among the
young men at that time than there is
now. True athletics are no absolute
panacea against evil, but their ten
dency is to both temperance and chas-
tity Men who go in for sport and
take pride in their strength of mus
Gle, or their perfect nerve, must lead
lives which enable them to keep their
muscles and nerves in good order.
1t is this which has made the facul-
ties of the universities in the United
States take so much personal interest
in athletics. OF course like all good
things they may be overdone, that is
when the professional element enters
in, but good amateur athletics, where
of sport, are of inestimable benefit to
the school boy, the college student,
and the young business man. In af-
ter life it gives a zest to his declining
years for the old athlete, who has pill
ed together dollars and has clogged
his brain with business cares, to go
out and see what the younger gener-
alton can do, and compare it with the
feats of prowess in the past.
And this brings us to the boat rae
ing of Saturday for the championship
of the Islands. Such a contest should
be supported and taken an interest
in by all people of the city and its
environs. There is no finer sport
than boat racing, there is probably
none which calls forth greater effort
on the part of those engaged as the

Editor Star: l would like to call
the attention of your readers to the
following facts:
In 1897 there was not much tourist
travel and not many people coming to
settle on the Islands; now all the no.
tells are crowded and there is hardly
any room in the lodging houses, even
considering the few steamers coming
from the coast; our stores are doing
thriving business; therefore beware
of the Boom"
In 1897 sugar was a little over $50
a ton, now it is over $40, and there is
no anxiety about having our treaty
taken away; therefore Beware of the
Boom"
In 1897 one never knew that some
morning would not find us with a
revolution on our hands, now we are
on United States soil, the American
flag waves, which means at least that
owners of real estate and stocks, feel
now properly secure. knowing that
they will have the protection of that
great country; therefore Beware of

happens afterwards. If there is any
