SAlTO CAPTURED.
Notorious Japanese Fugitive Ar
rested on Hawaii.

Commodore Geo. S. Beckley, purser
OF the S. S. Kinau and one OF the big
men in the Wilder s. s. Co., corpora
ton, brought to town Saturday news OF
the capture OF Saito, the Japanese fug-
tive wanted so badly by the whole OF
the police department. There was a
reward of $3.50 for the apprehension OF
this man. He assaulted a woman at
Eva and make good his escape TO the
Island OF Hawaii. Toma, the Japanese
detective, made a tour OF search, but
without result. II Is believed that the
important capture is due to plans laid
by Chester A. Doyle, the japanese in
terpreter, who left town on Friday last
to follow up some information he had
received. The prisoner will be brought
down on Friday OF this week. The
news was telephoned to Commodore
Beckley at Kawaiahae. The japanese
was found In Kona.

a few years ago was famous in athletic
circles as a champion swimmer. He

Another American Triumph.

And so 1t was the American plan OF
arbitration, after all, which caught the
fancy of the czar's peace congress and
seems destined to be made the basis
of the congress- affirmative action.
Briefly outlined, the American plan
provides:
That one arbitrator shall be desig-
mated by each signatory nation, he to
be chosen by majority vote of that ma
tion's supreme court. The arbitrators
thus selected shall control their own
organization and fix the place where
the tribunal will sit. After its initial
organization the court shall be per-
manent, with its dockets always open
for the reception of new business. Re-
course to it shall be voluntary but al
ways with the pledge in advance to
abide the courts award. At the option
of the parties to a dispute cases may
be brought before a full bench or be-
fore any smaller number of arbitrators
not less than three, to be chosen from
the whole court. When there are three
judges only no one of these shall be
either native, subject or citizen of a
state in interest. The general ex-
penses Of maintenance shall be divided
among the adherent powers upon an
equitable basis Non-adherent states
may have cases heard by the court by
paying for the expenses OF adjudica-
ton. Every litigant shall have the
right to a rehearing before the same
judges within three months after noti-
flcation of Il decision in his case, on
alleging newly discovered evidence or
submitting questions of law not heard
and decided at the former hearing.
The obvious merit of this plan is that
1t puts the nations in interest on their
honor. 1t does not try to force them
to arbitrate. Such an attempt could
not succeed and would only excite i'll
feeling if tried. 1t doe3 not erect a
net work of qualifications. 1t simply
suggests how a fsir high court of the
nations can be constituted and leaves
it to public opinion to decide how far
such a court shall be used by the pow
ers in the adjustment of their mutual
differences. Those who want arbitra-
tion can have it. speedily and at mod
crate cost; those who don't want it
can leave it alone. This is undoubtedly
what we in America would call the
"cross lots" way out of the arbitra-
ton muddle. A silk purse cannot be
made out of a sOws ear nor genteel
and Christian government out of the
raw material comprising a majority
of the robber powers of continental
Europe; but so long as there are two
or three good governments to set be-
fore the others the inspiration of a
wholesome example international arbi-
tration will be more than an irdescent
dream.

Justice for preyfus and Others.

Without sharing the Gallic tempera-
ment we can readily sympathize with
the demand which already arises in
France for the prosecution of the con-
spirators responsible for Captain Drey-
fus' unjust conviction. 1t is established
that Dreyfus was innocent. But the
establishment Of that fact establishes,
also, as IA corollary, the fact that the
men who plotted his sacrifice and then
covered their tracks by lies and forgery
and intrigue without sCruple are in
cOnceivably worse traitors and more
dangerous to the state than Dreyfus
would have been had he been guilty as
charged.
The individual injury to Dreyfus in
consequence of this conspiracy is the
smallest consideration to be taken into
account For years the conspiracy has
betrayed a large share of the public
opinion of a great nation into error
most foul. The army upon which
France has leaned has proved, so far
at least as it's general staff is con-
cerned, unworthy of the trust. Sue
Ccssve ministers of war, premiers and
at least one president of France are
revealed as men who were either will
ing or culpably ignorant tools in the
fabrication Of an odious mechanism of
injustice; and while after the lapse of
time honesty and sane opinion appear
to have got the whip hand, the net re-
suit of the recent disclosures is a gem
cral unsettling of confidence in those
features of French institutions which
have hitherto appealed most directly to
the admiration and the VeneratiOn OF
the inhabitants of that sorry country
Justice TO Dreyfus is naturally the
first step. That it is now apparently
assured before the grave had claimed
him in irrevocable martyrdom is con-
soling and Inspiring. But the measure
of frances ability for self-government
will be taken in the steps which shall
follow. The dry rot in the French army
must be cut out as the surgeon would
knife a cancer; and the personnel OF
French official life must be recast with
Spartan fortitude, to cleanse away the
accomplices and accessories of this in
famous outrage upon humanity. VIII
France prove equal to this ordeal? We
shall see.

which are not creditable to any people.
Ninety-fve per cent of the claims con-
sidered were received in a spirit of
dishonesty and supported almost en-
tirely by the most unblushing false
hood. In truth the most absurd and
extravagant demands were made, and
universally n crowd of witnesses COM
passed us about, ready to swear to any
proposition which was deemed neces-
sary by the INSCRIPTIONS claimant
whose tool they were to aid in robbing
the United States government. I'm
mindful OF the fact that the United
States had expended large sums Of
money and sacrificed some Of her
brightest and purest men for Cuban
liberty, still we find these people de-
manding that rent be paid them by the
United States for the ground which
American soldiers occupied while ac-
tually fighting Cuba's battles around
Santiago. Worse still, they complained
bitterly that their fields should be dis
figured by the temporary graves of our
peerless hero dead. They have also en-
pay for property and repair losses for
which the Cuban and Spanish armies
were esponsible-damage done long
before the American army landed upon
the island of Cuba. Such a want OF
appreciation-such beastly ingratitude,
would cause the callous hearted cow
ardly coyote to cover himself with
11a ho 10
ant, with an air of prosecuted inno-
CenCc, make his demand as though he
were the benefactor and the Americans
the beneficiaries. They are as con-
sciousless as a cancer and as cruel as
they are cowardly. We sincerely hope
that when these cases come before con-
gress for payment the facts may
be known as we know Them and that
justice may be dealt out strictly to this
lot of deliberate would-be robbers"
This is the testy and impatient regu-
lar army view, similar to that taken by
Generals Shafter, Chaffee and Young.
General Wood, who has had far more
extended opportunities to Judge, and
who has by results proved his fitness
to testify on the subject, paints the
Cuban in far more hopeful colors. He
admits the rudimentary condition of
the typical Cuban's comprehension Of
morals, but says he is patient, docile,
reasonably industrious according to his
light, and willing to learn. Where this
is true, there is abundant room for
hope.

The Typical Cuban,

dent. Major Bardanman OF the Fifth

brought us in contact with every class
and condition of Cuban citizenship, and

characteristics have been revealed in

Since 1898 the rise in wages has been

Of the present year, had gone up all

Wages and Prices.

The Chicago Times Herald recently
printed some figures comparing wages
and prices a generation ago and now
and they ought to be studied as an
antidote to discomfort. For instance,
the average daily wages in 12 Ameri-
can cities in 1870 and 1898, as tabulated
by the Massachusetts Labor Bulletin,
compare as follows:
