| OF an army to the Philippines to take
possession Of the Islands! Such hasty
action is pretty good proof that the in
tention to conquer and hold the Phil
ippines was formed in somebody's mind
at an early date. If the President
hadn't thought of it his military advis-
efs put it into his head and he weakly
surrendered in remarkably short
time to their representations. This
was the initial blunder, for the sending
of troops was the first act in the policy
Of conquest and reatention and I'M
questionably was SO intended, and if
no troops had been sent to Manila we
should have had no Philippine prob
lem.
DEWEY'S CABLEGRAM.
of May Is, 1898, giving his opinion
that Ito retain possession and thus
control Philippine Islands would re-
quire, in my best judgment, we'll
equipped force Of 5000 men," raises the
in the Philippines has not from the
first been too large, and whether in
the hands of capable man like Dewey,
who could have managed the natives,
5000 men might not have accomplished
as much as the force of five times as
many placed at the disposal of Otis.
Certainly Merritt had no need of the
$4,000 men he took with him for the
farce Of capturing Manila, and if
proper economy in the use Of troops
would have spoiled the argument for a
larger army. The Philippine situation
has played beautifully into the hands
of those who ADVOCATED an increase in
the permanent military establishment.
For the next two years we shall enjoy
the privilege of paying for an army
Of $4,000 soldiers, requiring an annual
expenditure of nearly $100,000,000.
CONSUL COVERT SENDS
from Lyons, France, some suggestive
figures on taxation in foreign coun-
tries. France appears to be the most
heavily burdened of the larger powers,
her per capita taxation being $14.48
yearly, while England comes next with
per capita annual taxation of $10.S1.
The German pays $3.50 annually, the
Austrian $S49 and the Belgian 1882.
On the basis of present revenues and
population the American pays $3.50 an
nually for the federal government. We
have thus overhauled Germany in the
matter of per capita annual taxation and
are fast catching up with imperial
Great Britain. An American now pays
81 a year more in federal taxation
than he did twenty years ago.
ELIHU ROOTS APPOINTMENT
as Secretary of War is significant of an
intention to give greater attention to
problems of military government in our
new dependencies. 1t remains to be
seen whether, as is occasionally rumor-
ed, it is the design of the President
unless Congress interferes, to main
tain military governments in these de-
Tendencies indefinitely.

REJECTED CHINESE WILL STAY

Agreement Between officials and At

BY arrangement between Special
Chinese Agent Brown and the attor-
neyS for the Chinese who have been
denied a landing here, all these Chi
nese will be held here pending the de-
termination of the appeal to the treas
ury department.
AS to the others who may arrive and
be refused a landing it has not been
decided what shall be done. The eX-
pectatfon is however that if they also
appeal to the secretary of the treasury
they will be permitted to remain at the
quarantine station until their appeal is
heard and decided. 1t is not expected
however that many more will come.
The Rio brought only sixteen. Evident
ly word has reached the Chinese in
China holding permits that the permits
are not recognized.
of permits issued to Chinese to enable
them to go from here to China and re-
turn there are still about 900 outstand-
ing. OF these however there are many
that will probably never be presented.
Some have been practically outlawed
by lapse of time. Some have been lost
or destroyed. Others were issued but
never used, those to whom they were
issued never leaving the Islands. So
that it is believed that the bulk of the
permits which will ever come to light
to raise an issue have been presented
OF permits to enable Hawaiian born
Chinese residing in China to return to
the Islands, there is no controversy as
to their validity. They are accepted as
evidence of the right to land upon proof
that the person presenting them is real
ly Hawaiian born.

AWAIT TREASRYDEC|SON BUSINESS OF PAST YEAR
STATEMENT OF WORK OF THE
QUEENS HOSPITAL.
Long Report from Mr.. Eckardt at To-
days Semi-Annual Meeting-Wood
Appointed Trustee,

At the meeting of the trustees of the
Queens Hospital held this morning the
resignation of Curtis Z. Iaukea from
the board was accepted with regrets.
Arthur b. Wood was appointed to fill
the vacancy Mr.. laukea gave as his
reason for resigning that he had left
the city and would henceforward live
out of town.
The most interesting and important
feature of the meeting was the reading
of the annual report of superintendent
j. r. Eckardt. This was quite long and
carried a fund of details
On January l, reported the purveyor,
there were 56 patients in the hospital.
There were 755 admitted during the
year, making S11 all told, treated. This
was against 6S1 for 1897, 1856 for 1896, 66i
for 1895 and 665 for 1894.
The diseases treated included every
thing nearly. Fever led with 129 cases,
of which SO were diagnosed as typhoid
and 20 as malarial. Injuries and acct
dents were 10. Diseases of the respira-
tory organs numbered SO and diseases
of the digestive organs So more. OF the
cases treated 3S5 were Hawaiians, 126
Japanese, 102 Americans, As Portu-
guese, 2S English, 26 German, Is Chi
nese, etc.
The number of deaths 100 in a total
of 81 patients, gives a per centage of
1888 per cent, as against 8 per cent in
1897, GIL in 1896, 9.33 in 1895, lila in
1894. This increase was largely due to
deaths from the transports and of wal
patients.
OF the number OF deaths 80 were ia
panese, q Hawaiians, is Americans,
Portuguese, Chinese, 3 English, 2 r.
ish, and each for various other ma
! tionalities.
| Eight patients died within 10 hours
| four within "a hours and eight within
| As hours of admission.
| There were 6S major and Al minor op.
erations and post morrems.
During the year there was collected
from pay patients the sum of $13, 1856 rs
an average of $1,09665 a month, and the
| current expenses have been 1872, ,921. so
an average of $2,74347 a month. Oi
the 81 patients $40 paid.
OF the 81 patients now in the hosplta
35 are Hawaiians. Japanese, / Chi.
| nese and 15 of all other nationalities

SANDBAGGED AND ROBBED
PAUL JONES SAYS FRIENDS DID
HIM UP.
Knocked Him Down in His Cabin on
the Australia and Relieved Him of
Two Hundred Dollars in Cash.

Paul Jones, waiter of the Australia,
claims to have been sandbagged and
robbed in his cabin yesterday after
noon.
The story has its peculiar features.
1t is alleged that companions and
friends committed the deed.
Early yesterday Jones was with ac-
quaintances aboard the Aorangi. There
was considerable drinking among
them. When he returned to the
Australia he was in good shape to go
to bed.
A few hours after Jones was discov-
cred lying on his bunk I'm an uncon-
scous condition. Blood was upon his
face, apparently from the nose. There
was no perceptible wound. He was eX-
amined and treated by the surgeon but
it was some time before consciousness
returned.
When able to speak the young man
said he had been sandbagged and rob-
bed of 5000. He believed the guilty
persons were shipmates. They had sto-
len in on him in the cabin, knocked
him down and taken his money.
This morning the fellow was all right
and at work He has but faint recol-
lection of the circumstance referred to-
but clings to the general lines of his
original story. There are those who
! believe the man was struck with some
thing, but the men aboard the vessel
| doubt that he was robbed of 5000. They
do not understand how he could have
had so much on him.
There will be no police investigation
! Jones has not yet decided what course
he himself will take about the mat
| ter.
