INFORMATION NOT TO Be HAD
Correspondent Tells Of a TeIepho.
Letter-Does Not Comment.


Honolulu, H. L., Dec. q 1898
EDITOR p. c. Al wish to place
before the public complaint on the
conduct Of the United States Military
Hospital on King street. Granville l..
Wells, a soldier of the First New York
Regiment of Volunteers, died at that
institution a few days ago-Wednes-
day night.
On Thursday morning, not knowing
that Wells had passed away, | asked
about him over the telephone, saying
that / had a deep personal interest in
him. The reply came: I'VE do not
give out any information on the condi-
| the adjutant general" | noted this
answer at the moment, for several rea-
sons. ! then inquired for the name,
office or telephone number of the ad-
jutant general, repeating particularly
the title. The curt message back was
II don't know" AS there is no ad-
jutant general here, it was useless to
search for the higher authority. A few
hours later / learned upon the street
that Wells was dead.
Wells was in the hospital for con-
siderable time. He was a member of
the Knights of Pythias. His father
stands very high in this order, being
in command at Indianapolis last sum-
mer of one of the fifty full regiments
massed there and Offering their SER
vices to the United States in the war
with Spain. In the United States there
are more than 400, 900 knights of
Pythias. Col Wells wrote to one of
the two lodges in this city and request
ed that his son be taken under the pro-
lection of the order locally and add
ing, unnecessarily, however, that no
limit was to be placed on expenditure
of money in the care of his son. My
inquiry Thursday was for the Knights
of Pythias, and on behalf as we'll of
two most estimable ladies of this city
who had become interested in Wells
and wished to write to his mother of
him. To her, waiting by the Hudson,
they have now sent such q letter as
only one true woman can send to an
other under such circumstances.
Officers and members of the lodge of
Knights of Pythias to which Col.
Wells had written, made inquiry at the
hospital of the condition of the boy
and received the same answer that |
did
| can readily understand it being
wisely against regulations to permit
visitors within the hospital, but it
cannot be possible that there is an
ordinance against giving out any in
formation" The knights of Pythias
here were the accredited representa-
tives of the father of that boy, hold
ing a stronger power of attorney than
can be issued by any court. Their re-
lations to him as a brother knight
need not be explained. The two ladies
should have been recognized as the
agents of his mother. Can anyone
think differently? ! am not hysterical
or sentimental. / submit facts and
wait. If this is answered I hope there
will be no evasion. There has been
plenty of help at the hospital all the
time. The Knights of Pythias would
willingly have placed a man there in
the interest of Wells
Very respectfully,
I-S

Pertinent Press Comment.
NO CONCERT MAY NEEDLE

NO CONCERT MAY NEEDLE.
Chicago Chronicle.
No sooner does the news go out to
the world that our successes are not
confined to the sea, but that we have
achieved very important victory Oh
land. that we hear again from Europe
that the concerted powers will kindly
relieve us from all the trouble OF ar
ranging the terms Of peace. In partlc-
ular we hear from Paris that the Matln
has learned from its London CORE
spondent, who has unusual sources OF
information that the European
chancelleries are low discussing the
question of the eventual Intervention OF
the powers in the Philippine islands
From the same sources of unusually
correct information we learn that the
ambassadors Of Berlin have ADVISED
their respective governments regarding
Germany's line of policy, which seems
quite settled" We are told that Ter
many would prefer the status quo, but
if. as a consequence Of the war, Span
ish sovereignty disappeared American
sovereignty must not be It's successor.
Which is sufficiently peremptorily.
What is TO be its successor VIII be
determined by international agree
ment, and each Of the powers con-
cerned will be called upon to protect
its own interests. This" says the cor
RESPONDENT who knows it all, lis the
logical outcome of the Monroe doc
trine, the principle OF which VIII De
empIoved by Europe In order TO protect
itself against American interference
and unless appearances are deceptive
Great Britain, in spite CT the ta.ked-oi
Anglo-Saxon alliance, will do the same
as the other powers.
This is very nice programme. the
victor in this war is not to be consulted
at all. This wretched league OF an
potent selfshness known as the con-
cert Of the powers is to come 10 the
front and settle everything. Perhaps
the sweetly concerted powers Will DIS
cover before they get very far that
Uncle Sam means to have something
to say about these things himself and
will make some little effort to demon
strate that this country differs in some
important particulars from J3pan and
Greece and even from the rather sturdy
invalid of the Bosporus
While 1t Is true that great many
Americans perhaps a majority OF them,
are opposed to imperialism and would
greatly prefer not to retain more than
good naval station in the Philippines,
it is not less true that they are pretty
unanimously of the opinion that Unc.e
Sam will have to be consulted first in
regard to the disposal of the Philippines
and all other territory conquered from
Spain in this war. They are pretty
unanimously of the opinion that they
will make out to put up a tolerably
harmonious concert of their own il the
jungling European concert shall at
tempt to NEEDLE with their affairs as
it did with those of Japan after her
uray with China

The Regiment Justly Kesents a Statement

Chickamauga Park, Ca, July Is.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-A communication from Char
lesion. w. Va, dated July 10th, in
which it states that the First West Vir-
ginia Regiment was largely composed
of men who were out of employment
and unable to get work. while the Sec
ond Regiment is composed of men who
Joined the regiment for the sake of
fighting for their country, is treated
with contempt by the men Of this reg
iment. l wish to deny the allegation
that the First Regiment is composed of
such men. In Company E there are
three lawyers, fifteen clerks, two edi-
tors and one expert telegraph opera
tor, who is to be assigned in few
day to the general corps, about thirty
farmers and ten miners-in fact all
paying positions. We know very lit
tie of the Second Regiments ability to
drill, but from the report in the paper
We would judge that they would be
equal to any regiment in Germany.
All West Virginia should be proud of
this regiment. When the come to
Chickamauga Park we will have the
national salute fired in their favor. l
learn that many of the enlisted men in
the Second Regiment are men who were
refused by the First Regiment, also
that many refused to enlist in the First
Regiment because they could not get
commissioned or on-commissioned
offices.
The First Regiment showed their
bravery by enlisting when the Presi-
dent made his first call for troops. The
First Regiment has the reputation of
being able to endure as much, if not
more. than any other regiment in the
park, and when they go to the front
they will make a record for themselves
that West Virginia may be proud Of
Company E, under command of Capt.
Collect, captured the regiments wagon
train from the entire First Pennsylva-
MIA Regiment, which had taken them
from small guard detail. This one
act established a reputation of bravery
for the First West Virginia, as all the
regiments remark, 81 want to see that

er similar remarks are made.
He who lives in glass houses should
not throw stones!"
Major Banks arrived to-day from
West i1ginia with seven recruits,
which completes the quote of the regi-
ment.
The ladies of Beverly, w Va, sent
each member of Company E a package
containing several useful articles. The
boys will always have warm spot in
their hearts for he ladies Of Beverly.

OF DOUBTFUL VALUE.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
The last naval bill contained an ap-
preparation of $500 600 for the build
ing of sixteen torpedo boat destroyers
and twelve torpedo boats. In view Of
the somewhat problematical value Of
these craft-as shown by the success
won by the automobile topedo in the
past, the total failure of the Spanish
destroyers in the existing war and the
lack of results from our own torpedo
fleet in Cuban waters-the wisdom OF
this expenditure at this time may be
questioned.
