HAWAIIAN ATTITUDE.
Too Nearly Part of the United States
 to Proclaim Neutrality.

Honolulu, May 10.-(Via San Fran cisco, May 16.)-The Hawaiian govern ment will not proclaim neutrality. This stand is taken on account of the existing relations between the United States and Hawaii The executive considers that a proclamation of neu- trality would be breach of good faith. The government made known its position yesterday at a secret ses- sion of the senate. It is understood that the senators favored the stand taken by President Dole.
 Another important matter consid- cred at the same session was the oc- cupation bill, which if ratified by the senate, will allow the United States to raise the American flag over the islands and use the same as a base of supplies. This measure is said to have been prepared with knowledge of the American senate committee on foreign affairs and has had the aD- proval of President Mckinley.

less the cabinet ordered her immediate release
 There wene two reason for taking this course. One was that in the ex- isting blockaded condition of Havana, few more Spanish officers landed, or a few more rounds of ammunition put on shore would not hurt much.
 Another and a much more potent reason for the government passing over this breach of neutrality as the present time was the well founded be- lief that it was deliberately intended to provoke some act on our part which would justify an unfriendly at titude towards us by the French gov ernment. All the facts point this way. M. Cambon, the French ambas- sador in Washington cunningly pro- cured permit from the state depart ment for the Lafayette to land in Ha- vana, with her mails and passengers. stating that she had sailed from St Nazaire, in France, before the declara- tion of war. He suppressed the fact that, subsequently, to the declaration she had touched at Corunna, Spain, and there took on the bulk of her cargo and passengers.
 When she was seized he descended like an avalanche on the state depart ment to demand her release. The proof of bad faith intended is clinched by the fact, now ascertained, that the Lafayette, after her release on the pledge that she would land no cargo at Havana, deliberately proceeded to violate this agreement All this is smoothed over at present, but will be | held up against France when our wal with Spain is over.
 One at a time is President McKin- ley's wise policy.
 There is every reason to anticipate

CAUTIOUS ADMINISTRATION.

Washington, D.

In no way has this caution been displayed more conspicuously than in the re- lease of the French liner, Lafayette, which deliberately attempted to run warned.

that we shall have our hands full be-
 fore the whole thing is settled, no matter how brilliant cur victories over the Spanish may De. There has been an entire change in the alliances of European powers in regard to their affairs in the east during the last five years. Russia, France and Germany now stand together against England, and the chances are that the United States, by force of circumstances, will be compelled to stand by England. Russia, once so avowedly and ostenta- tiously friendly to us when we were threatened by England during our civil war, is now as secretly hostile to the acquisition of the Philippines by the United States as France and Germany. The latter country is tight ening the ropes of it's commercial ban dages against American commerce every day, and trailing its coat-tail, Irish fashion, for us to tread on. All this is known and understood by our state department people, but they keep on saving Spanish wood and saying nothing. Their time to talk may come later.
 Unless Senor Don Polo de Bernabe, late minister to the United States, quickly takes his departure from Mon treal, Canada, where he is now hold ing his headquarters, after hurriedly leaving Toronto, for reasons which are known, but cannot at this time be
 disclosed, it Is likely that the atten-
 ticn of Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
 British ambassador in Washington
 will be drawn to evidence said to be
 in possession of the United States gov ernment showing that the late Spanish minister, from the safe shelter of the British dominions, Is carrying on a war against the United States, with
