The Philippines, he continued, had
appealed to the government to supply
them: but the government answered
that the Pope had interviewed and that
there was no fear of a rupture. The
naval committee a Manila examined

the conclusion that it was quite i'm
possible 10 offer battle to the Ameri-

to the situation at the Philippines. 1t
is absolutely impossible that they
should become masters of the islands.

it was inopportune to discuss the war

HAWAIpS OFFER
To United States Believed at Honolulu
to Have Been Accepted.

Honolulu. May 20.-(Nia San Francisco.
May 20.-The Hawaiian Star published
the following, yesterday There is no
doubt whatever that the Hawaiian gov
eminent 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 position to
state that such a letter has been written
and that reply to it is being awaited
here.
This reply VIII probably reach Honolulu
by the next mail. 1t is impossible to get
the exact text of the letter as the island
Executive does not feel that it is diplo-
matte courtesy that the letter should he
given to the pubnc here before the United
Sattes government can reply.
The mere fact that the transports are
coming here and the islands are to he
used as Il base of supplies for the Manila
squadron makes large number of people
think the offer will undoubtedly be uc-
cepted.

ART EXHIBIT.
One at the Garfield Building June 3 OF
1O-New Features to Be
Introduced.

There will be apothef art exhibit
this year by the city schools. The first
one was held last year, and 1t was the
direct outgrowth of the work of Prof.
Charles Zeublin, in University Exten-
sion work. The exhibit last year vas
a success in every sense, and the one
this year is to be made a still more dis
tinct success The first exhibit can-
sisted of work by the pupils, and
pictures from the various school buad-
ings. This year there will be added to
the school work and school displays, a
number of pictures by local artists to
gether with a loan exhibit. While
fine work is expected in the school
displays, both from pupils and
from selections of pictures that adorn
the school rooms, and while the local
artists are expected to sustain their
regulations by placing fine work on
exhibition, yet the contributions to the
loan exhibit is feature from which
much is expected in the way of art
ideas. There will be more individ-
uality in those perhaps than in any
other of the departments of the ex-
hibit.
The exhibit will be in the Garfield
building, as it was last year, and will
be open to the public.
A committee has been appointed by
the principals of the schools, aud this
com mittee has the hearty cooperation
of the art committee of the local COM
mittee of clubs, which is rendering
valuable aid. Some day next week
there will be published further infSr
Isus41ss~s~
exhibit. In the meantime, the public
spirited thing to do is for each person
who can in any way contribute to the
success oe this exhibit to do what
ever lies within their power to do so.
