San Juan De Porto Rico, April ls.-Be-
fore leaving Porto Rico, the insular COM
mission sent communication 70 the gov
srnor general, General Henry, requesting
that no money should be given 10 muniei-

JULIUS A. PALMER.

Many eyes we're moist and many
hearts we're sad among the Hawai-
ians, when it was learned to-day that
their unselfish and upright friend,
julius A. Palmer had joined the
great majority in his Massachu-
setts home.
The late Captain Palmer had, in
early life, frequently visited these
islands, and he loved the natives
and befriended them whenever it
was in his power.
During the tragic days of 1898,
when the emblem of honor was low
cred in Hawaii and treason and per-
fdy held high carnival among the
descendants of New England mis-
sionaries, who had deserted Christ
for Mammon, Captain Palmer lifted
his voice and used his clever pen in
a noble but vain effort in gaining
justice for the people of these isles.
His letters to the Boston Tran
script, in which he simply told the
sad but true story of perfidy and
treason towards a friendly people,
called upon his head the wrath Of
the men who were unfit to tie his
shoe strings. His sense of honor
and his respect for the truth COM
pelled him to take up the cudgels
for the people of Hawaii, even if he
had to sacrifice the friendship and
social relations OF his misguided
compatriots from New England.
They sneered at him, they tried
to ridicule him, they pointed out
the little peculiarities of the man,
and at last they even threatened
him and bullied him, but during it
all Julius A. Palmer went his way
fearlessly and never swerving from
what he thought was right, he
made for himself spot in the hearts
OF the Hawaiians, in which his mem
ory will ever be revered.
He sacrificed his personal inter-
ests in following Liliuokalani to
Washington and remaining with her
as faithful counsellor and friend
until the last battle against the in
famous robbery of the Hawaiian
Islands had been fought.
The defeat of the Hawaiian cause
was as painful to Captain Palmer as
it was to every honest man and
every patriotic Hawaiian.
The Hawaiians bemoan the loss ol
q devoted friend and regret that it
was not the will of fate, that he
once more should be able to come
among them and accept in person
the thanks which they owed him
and their aloha for his good work
which they now can only lay at his
tomb in the far away country.
