1t is hard TO believe that there are

They are not easily discovered. The

said to the proprietor.
Certainly, there it is in the corner

1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN"

While there is no special profit no
pleasure in crying over split milk" /
is frequently profitable to consider III
mistakes of the past in order that the
may be avoided in the future. Wit
this idea in view the following cdi:oria
from the Hong Kong Telegraph. who's
position enables Ill TO gain accurate in
formation regarding the subject undo
considera ton:
At the commencement Of the
Spanfsh-Asmerican war the Ameri
cans had the trust ana respect OF
the Filipinos. and a very small mo-
dicum or consideration and dip
lornacy would have enabled them to
have retained those friendly feel
ings and to have been today In
! peaceful occupation of the country.
Had any Of the natives Of the inte-
rior or of other Islands offered OPP
position to the Americans. Their.
would have been the Filipino troops
at hand to act under American OIL
GERS and to save the expense of
maintaining and operating the large
force which is at present necessary.
1t must not be thought chat we
are antagonistic to the American
cause. but we must say. and say
plainly, that We are sorry to see
that instead Of the Filipinos being
introduced to the benefits of peace
and a just and civilized form of gov
eminent they are now likely 10 be
cursed by n war of cSterminn ton,
and all on account of the bungling
and acknowledgement of certain Of
1icials of the United States. Had
matters but been left in the hands
of Admiral eDwcy we DO not for 4
momelM believe that things would
have come to such a pass. His ur-
right sailors nature would have
guided him Alright. But when mat
ters are dealt with by consuls and
diplomats who are far from the
scene Of action and have no knowl-
edge Of the country or people to be
dealt with, then disaster is only too
frequently the result. as affairs in
the Philippines have shown.
There can be no doubt that there hav
been mistakes Of Il most serious natur
in the conduct of affairs in the Philip
pines. The conditions now preva:l!il!
conclusively prove this fact. However
repin:ngs and abuse Of the administra
ton will not remedy matters we ar
now in the awkward position of tn
man who caught the bear 1T would b
both fooIhardy and dangerous to let tn
Fiiipinos go so long as they possess III
power to inujre the American trOoop
and endanger the interests ot the Uni
ted States.
1T would have been much better ha
things taken q different course, but con
ditions must be accepted as they are
II perfection reisned supreme on thi
mundane sphere there would have bee,
no war and no Philippine question. an
the peace conference at The Hagu
would be a work Of supererogation in
stead Of farce.

SUGAR MACHINERY.
Sugar Cos Plant the
Largest Ever Shipped Here.

The American Sugar Company has
recently placed a contract with Mr.. o..
B. StiIlman of New York for Sugar
for new plantation at the
Hawaiian Islands. This will be sup
piled by a dozen or more manufacture
ers in various sections of the East, and
the contract calls for the expenditure
of 100000. The crushing plant will
consist of three 34XS4 inch three roll
mills, and will have a daily capacity
for 1900 tons cane. Referring to this
matter the New York Commercial Of
the 18th says: "The plantation covers
some $4,000 acres of extremely fertile
land. One single tract comprises 5000
acres of the finest cane lands, which
are situated all below the 400 feet level.
The plantation is expected to yield
from six to eight tons of sugar per
acre 1t is believed that the American
Sugar Co.'S expenditure will reach ST.
700, 900 before the estate will be in per-
feet running shape. This plant will
be the second largest ever exported
from this country, and the largest
ever shipped to the Hawaiian Islands"
