the usual course of things witness
Grants unsuccessful effort to carry the
works at Vicksburg and Petersburg,
Banks failures at Port Hudson, Burn
sides at Fredericksburg and Lees at
Gettysburg. These are bloody ex-
amples of the futility of leading the
bravest men into the open to attack
men equally brave and numerous and
well-armed behind earthworks.
1t is as the United Service Gazette
(British) remarked awhile ago. The
whole theory of tactics must be altered
or the British in South Africa must
accept ultimate defeat. There is no
other remedy. But one way offers to
meet the Beers in the hills and that is
to approach them from tree to tree and
rock to rock and give them as good as
they send; to enter, in fact, upon d
gigantic guerrilla war. This may be

officers with their traditions of upright
valor but it cannot be so CALLING as

STRANDED sULDIERs.

There Is a good chance for General
Joe Wheeler to add to the public re-
spect for his manly qualities by COM
ing TO the relief OF the twenty-five dis
charged enlisted men, all or most OF
them lately in hospital, who want
transportation to San Francisco to es-
cape the need of charity here.
These men could be taken away on
the transport Warren. An application
in their favor has been refused by the
captain of the transport on the ground
that their presence on board might
quarantine the ship at San Francisco
and thus Interfere with General Wheel
er's plans to reach Washington
promptly and take his seat as a men,
Der of Congress. On this account
twenty-five poor fellows, homesick and
penniiess. may be left here indefinitely
to be cared for by city which now
has some thousands of INDECENT and
homeless Asiatics on its hands.
Possibly the captain of the transport
has not given the true reason for his
course. The fear of quarantine for
himself and his officers may be his real
motive. II 80, 1t is an illogical one

LESSONS Of BULLER's DEFEAT

The steamer Charles Nelson arriv-
ing at MAXWELL, Kauai, brought Coast
newspapers of the 10th and 18th insts.,
but none of them found their way to
Honolulu on the inter-island steamers
which came yesterday. The only
knowledge we have of their contents is
through private correspondence. Mr..
Freese, chemist of the Makawen plan
tation, in letter to Mr.. Scott of Cat
ton, Neill & Co., says: THE San Fran
cisco papers of February 18th received
on the Nelson state that Butler had
been forced back across the Tugela
river again." AS this news accords
with that of the Advertisers Associated
Press special service up to noon of the
9Th, 1t Is not an occasion for surprise.
1t was painfully apparent in our own
advices that Butler, in trying to force
the intrenched sharpshooters of Joub-
ert's army had taken too big contract
and was about to suffer the conse-
quences.
! The trouble with the British Generals
is that they are as hide-bound by mill
tary tradition as were the Germans and
Austrians whom Napoleon demoralized
by his genius for original campaigning
Like Bourbons they learn nothing and
forget nothing. The student of mill
tary history will see no difference be-
tween the tactics employed by White
Gatacre, Methuen and Butler in turn
and those which wrought the ruin OF
Braddock in the Pennsylvania wilder
ness and of Pakenham at New Orleans
, Confronting a concealed line of perfect
marksmen these British Generals order
their commands to fix bayonets anC
advance, officers and men disdainine
cover and depending upon dash anC
discipline for success. The history O.
all wars shows that this is a fata
> policy. The instances where well
manned intrenched positions have beer
: carried by assault are few and far be
tween. In nine cases out of ten sucI
positions have to be reduced bv sieg
or by concentrating a superior humble
OF well-trained guns for bombardment

A correspondent OF an evening paper
suggests. as a reason for the backward
ness of the Board Of Health in the
matter Of the Hotel stables, that DR..
Wood and his associates have come to
the conclusion that they have been
burning buildings unnecessarily and
that 1t Is time to turn over a new leaf.
The Board will hardly thank its apollo
gist for this defence. II 1t were true
the Board would be in the position of
confessing judgment in heavy damage
claims. 1t is not going to do that any
more than It is going to repudia:e the
testimony of the whole town and of its
own members, touching the remedial
efficacy of sanitary fires.

The Advertiser continues it's inter-
views on the subject of the Hotel sta
bles. The majority of the citizens who
have been seen and their views re-
ported say that it is better to be on
the safe side and burn the property.
Others who will not talk for publica-
ton put the need of a sanitary fire in
stronger terms. There is great fear
that fresh cases may develop If the
stables are permitted to remain, and
on that account the public believes
that the radical policy should be fol-
lowed. II the Board has doubts, 1t
should give Honolulu, rather than a
few private owners, the benefit Of
them.

The extensively dressed man, who
likes to know that all his garments
are the finest that can be made, may
now wear shirts that cost S12 apiece
Up to this time the highest price for
mems shirts in New York has been 81
or So. But now Broadway merchant
advertises shirts of batiste-chiffon, the
material of which is woven of a special
kind of fax, the webbing dried through
varying temperatures, tempering the
fiber after the manner of steel. The
air must be kept moist, and the shut
ties work under water. 1t is not shown
that the shirts are so very much bet
ter than those which cost only half as
much. But they are finer, and they
are expensive, and that is a great deal
to fastidious man with money enough
to indulge his fancies.

THE STABLES ONCE MORE.

/ Adde'S OE'OD uoASD'
DR.. Woods reply to the Citizens San
itary Committee, printed elsewhere.
does not add materially to the public
knowledge of the Hotel stables affair.
1t INDUCES in strain of mock graft
| fcation at the committees statement;
fences through another paragraph as
to what the argument of the committee
/ Is, and states that the Board of Health
has in no instance ordered the destruc-
| ton of the property without inspecting
it and considering the evidence, fact
which nobody has denied. More than
half of the letter is devoted to detail
ed discussion of why certain buildings
in which there had been no plague,
mentioned in the committees letter
were burned, and concludes with the
statement that "the only announce
ment yet made that the Hotel stables
are not TO be burned occurred in the
headlines of the morning paper for
which the Board declines respons-
Utility"
If the subject matter and the results
to the community involved in the final
action of the Board were not of such
a serious character we might character
lie this reply as special pleading. But
the Advertiser is in no humor to handy
words with the Board, or to try and
undermine the confidence OF the com
munity in its wisdom and efficiency
Thirteen of the officers and employees
Of the Gazette Company have been en-
gagged in doing inspection and guard
duty during the past two months, in ad-
dition to which the entire literary and
mechanical stats of this paper have
been untiring in efforts to aid the
Board by every means within their
power to accomplish one common result
the suppression of the plague. So
we cannot be accused of trying to ham
per the sanitary work.
In the stand this paper has taken
upon this subject it would be false to
it's convictions and to the community
if it did not voice the Overwhelming
sentiment and plainly tell the Board
that its action, or failure to act, in this
matter is doing more to shake public
confidence in that body than would an
acre of newspaper criticism. Nothing
that this paper can say or that it may
leave unsaid will change the fact that
two cases of plague have come out of
| the Hotel stables, and that thirty-one
days after the first case and five days
after the second, there Is no move on
the part of the Board to destroy the
premises although no exemption of any
other building has been made under
similar circumstances since the burn
ing policy was initiated six weeks ago,
while scores of buildings In which
there has been no case have been burn
ed on suspicion that they might be in
fected.
The conclusion of DR.. Woods letter
would seem to indicate that the Board
may yet burn the stables. If the Board
still has the subject under considera-
ton, then in all earnestness and in
the interest of the Board and of the
cause, a decision cannot be arrived al
too quickly, both because 1t will re,
lieve intense public feeling upon the
subject, and because the sooner plague
germs are put beyond the possibilit!
of harm the better. Promptness of &C
ton is as essential as action itself.

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Big Cargo Of Ammunition.


The steamship Karani has. left the
Thames with one of the heaviest car
goes of war material which has ever
been despatched from the British
shores. Amongst the ammunition on
board are 100000 rounds of small
arm ammunition in 3,640 boxes, 1900
rounds of shrapnel and common shell,
and 1000 rounds of five-inch lyddite
shell in 1000 boxes, 851 boxes of fuses,
and 40 boxes of pistol ammunition
There is also on board a large quantity
of star shell by which the enemy's
position can be ascertained after dark
and their camps shelled during the
night. Each shell contains six stars of
magnesium light, the composition
burning between thirteen and fourteen
seconds, and stars of signal light COM
position, burning between thirty-four
and thirty-six seconds. The shell is FIR
ed by time fuse, and by the adoption
of a code of different colors communi-
caCon can be kept UP between two
bodies of British troops who may be
located a considerable distance from
each other. Scotland Yard detectives
have been watching the Karani, as a
precaution against incendiary Boer
spies. The guards at the powder maya
zine in Plumstead Marshes and at Pur-
fleet have been doubled. The Karani
will fly her yellow flag until she gets
out of British waters as a caution to all
craft to keep at respectful distance.

Sandalwood Perfumes.

Some stores keep sandalwood in
cense that costs a lot. A little of it
burned in ones clothes closet will i'm
pregnate all ones wear with this pun
gent odor. Bits of the wood can be
bought, with little PANEL of carving,
to show that it is not a mere kindling
stick. The odor from this is everlast-
ing and more delicate than the in
cense, says the New Orleans Picayune.
Sandal sachet is also used, but it
should be taken from the little en-
velope in which it comes and smoth-
cred in cotton, or it will give too
strong an odor. One of the sticks
scraped in China silk bag gives still
another grade of this scent. A sandal
wood fan laid away among laces and
fine handkerchiefs will serve as we'll
as anything. Sandal-scented soap is
said to give the required fragrance to
the hair, but you must be sure that it
is a good shampoo soap as well.

We are bound to say that investiga-
ton does not show Interior motives on
the part Of the Board Of Health in con-
nection with the Hotel stables. That
phase of the discussion may as well be
dismissed. The Board appears to be
acting oonscientiously enough, but
with what the Advertiser and the
greater part Of the public believes with
Inconsistency and wrong judgment.

,'Uncle Sam's'' Exposition Hat.

A plaster of paris design for an
Uncle Sam" hat-probably the iarg-
est in the world-containing within
it's crown practical models for up
wards of 200 distinct styles of hats
worn by twenty-three nationalities,
will be sent from Philadelphia TO the
Paris exposition. The huge composite
model is the work of a Philadelphia,
who first conceived the idea OF the
unique exhibit, the Record says, about
a year ago. The total hight of the
big model is fifty-six inches; the brim
of the hat Is twelve feet in circumfer-
ence, and its crown is forty-eight
inches tall. The smaller models are
so ingeniously constructed that they
fit snugly into each other and form a
column in four sections. This column
is of such dimensions that it fits into
the hollow crown of the large model
and when placed in position the model
for Uncle Sans large hat has the ap-
pearance of one piece of solid plaster
