While Mr.. Damon is speeding to-
wards Rome and Sweden to secure
laborers for our plantations, the
Spanish and Portuguese recently in
ttoduced here are causing trouble
on the plantations to which they
were shipped. A number of Span
iards left Oahu plantation yester-
day and this morning they were
placing their grievances before the
acting Spanish Consul, Mr., +. A.
Schaefer. The contracts these men
work under are of course not worth
the paper they are written on, but
so far we have failed to find one
single good reason why the men
should try to get away from the
plantation and become nuisance il
not a menace to the community.
One man said that he did not have
enough to eat. Imagine the cheek
Of fellow like that. A man who
has enjoyed fresh beef at the plant
alton three times week while at
his home he saw or perhaps tasted
beef once year They complain
that they did not get their pay
when other laborers were paid Of,
and they actually talk about the
money due to them as if they ever
saw coin OF 1ore value than a
quarter in their own country. OF
course the plantation will have to
turn the men loose on the community
and as their number is small they
can easily be looked after. Bnt all
these troubles certainly indicate
that the present labor policy and
plans in vogue for the introduction
of European labor are most egre-
gions failures.

fully recognizing bis excellent quail
ties for the position, we cannot help
feeling that it would be proper to
send a man as secretary who repre-
sent the Hawaiian race. We intend
to make a special exhibition OF our
school system and material, but il
presented by two "haoles" the ques-
tion will naturally arise "where are
your Hawaiians whom you claim

thods OF educationY Even although
we are annexed the Hawaiians ought
not to be obliterated and the charac-
teristics of their country forgotten
in one short year.

Discipline in the German army
is very strict. Not long ago the
Empress, returning from q. walk
with lady-in-waiting, was
stopped at the park gate by a SEN
try, who refused to let her enter.
In vain the lady represented she
was the Empress; the soldier said
he did not know her, and could
not let her pass till he could get
someone to identify her. This was
eventually done by another sol
der, and only then did the sentry
allow his sovereign's consort to
enter her own gates. The man has
since had a special message from
the Emperor, highly approving
his steady adherence to orders.

Complaints have reached us that
the digging of graves at the Catho-
lie Cemetery on King street is car
ried on in very careless manner
and that the graves are frequently
too small for the coffins. The peo-
pie mourning their lost aud bidding
the last farewell to the clay which
they loved in life feel sensitive at
the way in which the grave diggers
handle the caskets containing the
remains OF their beloved. 1t may
be mandlin sentiment which causes
men and women 10 object to seeing
a coffin stamped on to force it into
too narrow grave, hut it is a senti
ment which comes natural to all
decent people and which demands
the respect OF all who lay claim to
the civilization of the century. No
blame is attacked to the church
authorities. 1t is simply a matter
OF laziness or indifference on the
part of the diggers.
The martial appearances of the
soldiers on the transports on their
way to Manila has been admired by
all who have seen them drilling aud
marching through our streets. 1t
is a pity that the good name OF the
regiment should be impaired by the
actions OF some men in the ranks
who evidently forget their duty to
their flag and their uniform. The
soldiers at liberty yesterday were
well behaved as rule but very
rarely has there been so many com.
plants against the boys in blue, and
so much trouble caused to the police
as during the visit OF the last trans
port The soldiers should know by
this time that Honolulu is not Jay
town and that every citizen will help
in upholding the power OF the civil
authorities. The "boys" cannot run
this city, and the quicker they fud
it out the better it will be for them.
II there is to be an exposition at

and representative of all the fnan-
cial interests Of the country. We
notice that Mr.. Irwin has partly
promised to represent Hawaii in

act as secretary to Mr.. Irwin. With

Eight of the four

lent Asiatic smallpox. Eight of the four
teen were members of the Twentieth Kan
sas Volunteer Regiment.
From this death rate it Is inferred that
many of the soldiers are suffering from the
contagion, as smallpox is disease which
has small comparative death rate at the
beginning of the outbreak, as the disease
has several stages and the fatalities are
not therefore, Immediately numerous.
Army officers regard this new enemy
which has appeared among the American
troops as a far worse foe than the am
bushing Filipinos.
The loose methods in vogue in some of
the bureaus OF the demoraliZed War De
partment were illustrated in connection
with this outbreak of smallpox. For some
unknown reason the Adjutant Generals Of
fee. which receives all death and sanitary
reports from abroad, did not inform Sur
geon General Sternberg of the serious
health conditions in the Philippines and
that officer was surprised when he re-
ceived his first information from re-
porter who had read the death report from
Manila on the bulletin board IN front OF
General Corbin's Office.
Referring TO the matter, Surgeon General
Sternberg said:
Il have the greatest confidence in Chief
Surgeon Lippincott. There should be no
difficulty in preventing a spread OF the
disease. The troops will have to be vac
cinsted and smallpox patients isolated and
nursed by immunes. The provisions for
the sick in Manila are ample, there being
plenty of tentage, cots, bedding, and other
material
General Sternberg also expressed sur
prise that the disease had got such. a
headway as TO cause the number OF deaths
given by General Otis.

cable at the War Department yesterday,

WITH CALM INDIFFERENCE.
Murderer Smith shows No Concern
About His Fate

No person accused of crime ever faced
a judge and jury with such an air of calm
indifference and supreme contempt as TO
what the result will be as does Edward
Smith. colOred, who is now on trial for
his life for the second time for the murder
of Edmonia Jackson. also colored, on No
vember 10, 1897. The details OF the crime
have already been told time and time again
in the local newspapers. Every circum-
stance connected with the killing tended
to show that Smith is one of the most de-
generate of his race, absolutely devoid of
the slightest semblauCe OF human feeling.
1t was not, however. the total absence Of
the traits resulting from civilization which
makes Smith notable even among crimi-
nails but the fact that ut the time of the
commission OF the crime of which he is
accused he showed that he is subject to
and influenced entirely by his brute in
stincts.
1t was shown by the testimony adduced
yesterday and also at the former trial Of
Smith that after he had murdered the
jackson woman he returned TO the rOOm
in which she lay bloody aud cold in death,
night after night and slept in the same
bed where her body still remained. I'd
monia was the wife of James Jackson. and
it was her constancy in her love for her
husband which infiamed Smith 5 jealous
heart to commit murder.
The jury which will try Smith was COM
pleted yesterday. and is composed of the
following persons: Benjamin +. Parker.

not hesitate to acknowledge that / had
the same experience together with several
other officers. When we enquired into the
nature of the batteries, we had no idea of
the venerable age of those guns. but set
them down as IL and is centimetre guns.
IF the harbor entrance was to be forced,
neither the Moro nor the Soeapa battery
need have been considered, because they
could not sweep the narrow entrance with
their guns. The Punta GOrda battery was
the only one which controlled the en-
trance. and owing to the great distance
and the difficulty of observing the fire, it
was almost impossible to place this bat
terry out of action from the sea. Then
why the bombardments OF the batteries
and the immense expenditure of ammuni-
tion. especially since the American COM
mander-in-ch (Sampson) did not in
tend to force the entrance, but on the con-
trary was desirous of obstrUctiug it. as
Is plainly shown by Hobson's attempt.
simple blockade. without any further at
tack on the Notifications. would have had
exactly the same results.
Whether it was a question of actual
bombardments or of target practice, the
final result remains the same Therefore
we are still confronted with the fact that
the coast Notifications, in spite of the
vastly superior naval artillery and the
expenditure of immense quantities of am
munition. were not placed out of action.
What lessons are we to derive from this?''
\ Sampsonian Humbug.
Commander Jacobsen does not express a
high estimation for the so-called tight
blockade which was maintained about the
coast OF Cuba. He furnishes list of
nineteen steamers and three sailing YES
sells which successfully ran SampSOn's
blockade This he states, demonstrates
how difficult it is to maintain a blockade
even under the most favorable circum-
stances, as in this case. where the Span
ish navy did not make a single attempt
to shake off the blockading ships The
vessels cited by the German commander
were all loaded with food. He says he
had reliable information that on August
II the military administration of Havana
had provisions on hand for three months
longer. outside of what the blockade run
ners had brought into the country and
what was hidden away in the houses of
the city.
"One can, therefore, understand the
Indignation of Captain General BlancO
concludes Commander Jacobsen, when he
heard that the peace protocol had been
signed. But of what use would have been
further resistance on the part of the
Spanish garrison? \ fortress in the ocean
cut off from it's mother country can he
rescued only with the assistance of the
navy. The enemy who has control of the
sea need only wait patiently until the
ripe fruit drops into his lap. The lessons
to be derived from the foregoing are eyi-
dent and need no further explanation.
May our German colonies be spared the
fate of Havana.
