The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-12-27

The fear Of American production of
iron and steel is constantly being re-
ported. Consul General Mason of Ber-
lin keeps the State Department well
informed upon the point. His latest
statement, culIed from the German
press, is very significant of what Ger
many proposes to do if she can only get
the opportunity.
The extract furnished in the report
says:
In the circle of large operators in
the Lower Rhine-Westphalian iron
and coal district, the efforts of the
United States to supply the continent
of Europe with iron manufactures
and coal are regarded with great inter-
est and growing anxiety. A leading
ironmaster of the Ruhr district recent
ly expressed himself to a small circle
of technical colleagues to the effect
that within a period of ten to fifteen
years, America would be supplying
all Mediterranean countries, including
Austria Hungary, with coal and iron.
AS reasons for this opinion, he stated
that no other country can produce and
transport iron in enormous quantities
so cheaply and under such favorable
conditions as the United States.
When it is found that the necessary
return freight from Europe for their
coal ships is wanting, they will build
their Golfers so that they can use wa
ter ballast on their return voyage. The
ocean-freight schedules of all maritime
nations will be so depressed by this
competition that the item of sea trans
pOrtation will play practically no role
in the economy of International trade.
1t will be then, even more than now,
simple question of which country can
produce most cheaply, and that coun
try will unquestionably be the United
States, with it's virgin soil and it's in
eXhaustible mineral resources.
An effective protection against this
deluge of American products through
high tariffs will be impossible, because
the United States can dispense entirely
with European manufactured mer-
chandise, and thus be in a position to
close its frontiers to foreign trade.
Europe will then have but one recourse
which can provide any effective resist
ance to America, and that will be when
all countries here form a close CONNER
cial union or league Otherwise, the
material strength and resources of the
contestants will be too unequal"
The Importance of this utterance lies
in the ideas contained in the last para
graph. There is no mincing the mat
ter. If Germany could possibly carry
her policy out, she would form a hard
and fast European commercial league
against the United States. Germany
has been an alarmist in Europe upon
this point for some considerable time
Her alarmist statements have fright
ened some of the other European ma
tons, but there really need be no fear
on our part, because we can be perfect
~ satisfied that it would perfectly i'm
possible to form a European league for
any purpose, and certainly, least of all,
for commercial purposes. European
nations look with such different eyes
upon commerce.

CUBANS BADLY SPLIT UP.
ton, But the People Take Little
Interest in Its Work.

Havana. March 29.-Senor Villuenda Of
the Committee on Relations of the Cuban
Constitutional Convention to-day signed
the report OF Juan Gualberto Gomez, thus
placing a majority of the committee in
opposition to the pricipal features of the
Platt amendment Neither the Radicals
nor the Conservatives seem anxious to
put the question to an immediate vote.
The plan to send a delegation to Wash
ingon first being favorably considered.
Little public interest is manifested in
the outcome, The convention itself is di-
vided into warning political factions, loca
politics being the chief subject of discus
sion. Gen. Sanguiily has sent in his res
ignation, alleging that he could not abide
by the vote OF the Havana Republicans
rejecting the amendment.
1t is doubtful If the convention would
accept the amendment, as the Republican
delegates from Santiago and Santa Clara,
though they have been repudiated by their
party for voting against the amendment,
still hold their seats. Radically opposite
views are held by different groups of the
same party, and this tends to substantiate
the assertion OF the conservative press
that the opposition to the amendment IS
centered In Havana, and that the dele
gates do not represent the feeling OF their
constituents.
A split is threatened I'm the national
party OF Havana, because of a resolution
adopted against the Platt amendment.

SIXT0 LOPEZ'S SCHEME.
quest That They Be Brought
to This Country.

Boston, March 29.-Senor Sixto Lopez has
sent the two following cablegrams to
Aguinaldo and Mabini:
"Aguinaldo, care Gen. Macarthur, Ma
nila. Request American authorities to
send you with Mabini to America.
'Sixto Lopez"
"Mabini, care Military Governor, Guam.
AguinaIdo captured. I have cabled him to
request American authorities to send you
with him to America. 1 wish to apply to
authorities in Guam" Sixto Lopez"
In reference to the above, Senior Lopez
has issued the following statement:
II believe it is the wish of the Amerl-
can people to know the truth about many
things connected with this war, as well
as to obtain an authoritative statement
of the attitude of the Filipinos toward
American sovereignty. I do not know of
two men better fitted to give such inror'
nation than Aguinaldo and Mabini.
Almost all the statements that have
hitherto been made are from American
sources. 1t would, therefore, only be fair
that two representative Ftlipinos should
be allowed to give their opinions about
the Americans, and to speak on behalf
Of their fellow countrymen.
THE bringing of Aguinaldo and Mabini
to America can do no injury to truth
and justice, and 1 assume that both de-
sire to know the truth and to do JUS
tice,"

Macarthur Telegraphs Important
Surrender.
Washington, March 29.-The cabinet
meeting to-day was devoted almost en-
tirely to a discussion of the capture OF
Aguinaldo, it's effect upon the military
situation in the Philippines, the disposition
to be made of the insurgent chief and
the reward to be given to Gen. Funston.
The subject was considered in all its
phases. but no definite conclusions were
reached either with regard to Gen. Fun
ston's reward or to the punishment of
Aguinaldo.
The President and all members of the
cabinet are in favor of the most liberal
and substantial recognition of the SER
vice performed by Gen. Funston. There
was some discussion of the question of
making him a bi1gadier general in the
regular army, but it was thought that
full reports should be awaited before ac-
tion was taken. The matter probably
viii be allowed to rest where it is for
the present. Gen. Funston is holding a
volunteer commission as a brigadier gen
eral which will not expire until June 80 of
this year, so that so far as the honor and
emoluments are concerned his standing
would not be prejudiced by the delay.
The Time Not Ripe Yet.
The view of the majority of the cab
met was that the time is not yet ripe to
decide what course should be pursued in
the disposition of Aguinaldo. 1t is felt
that some little time should elapse 20
permit an opportunity to deliberate care
fully over what course would prove the
wisest, whether he can be of any SER
. vice to the United States government by
remaining at Manila and exerting his in
fiuenee in the direction of peace, whether
it would be dangerous to permit him to
remain so close to the field of insurrec-
tionary activity or whether even it would
be best to send him among the other in
surgent prisoners on the island of Guam.
There is no disposition to deal otherwise
than leniently with him, but there are
various questions that will have to be
considered in the case, as for instance
whether he personally instigated assassi-
nations of Americans and similar Of
enses, which some of the members of the
cabinet feel should call for some penalty
1t cannot fbe too emphatically stated that
the administration will avoid giving the
captured leader any basis for posing as
g a martyr. The trend of views as ex-
pressed by the cabinet indicated that ul-
innate transportation to some place of
confinement outside of the Philippines
was the course most likely to be adopt
ed.

JAPAM'S POWERFUL NAVY.
Would Have All the Advantage Over
Russia i'm ~ War in the
Fnr En<t

Washington, March 2s,-State depart
ment officials are not as much exercised
over the probability of war between ia
pan and Russia as might be indicated in
the published reports from the far east.
1t Is asserted in diplomatic circles that
Russia has much to lose and little to gain
by going to war with Japan.
A high authority on japanese affairs
said to-day that there is but little dan
ger of a war between japan and Russia
while the present government of Japan
exists. In the first place 1t is conceded
that Japan has a. navy far superior to
that OF Russia and in case of hostilities
between these two countries, Russia
would be at a disadvantage. Manchuria
would probably be the battle ground in
the event of such war. In that event,
Russia would have but one base of sup
plies in that vicinity, which is Port Ar
thur. Japan would at once seize that
point and render Russia destitute of a
naval station or any haven of refuge of
her war ships In addition to this con-
sideration, the present government of Ja-
pan is inclined to be pro-Russian in its
policy and for that reason neither tbs
Japanese nor Russian representatives In
this country anticipate war in the near
future.
There was report in circulation here
a few days ago that all the naval and
military attaches of the Japanese govern
ment in this country and in other coun-
tries had been hastily summoned back to
Japan to man japanese warships in an
ticipation of early hostilities with Russia
This statement was promptly denied at
the Japanese legation, and the Japanese
minister laughingly declared that Japan
has so many naval officers that even If
hostilities were to begin now there would
be no occasion for calling home her Off
GERS attached to her foreign legations

ASSOCIATIONS BILL
PASSED BY FRENCH CHAMBER OF
DEPUTIES.
MINISTERIAL VICTORY.
DIRECTED AGAINST THE CHURCH
CORPORATIONS.

The Result May BE the CcnHscation
by the Government of Much Prop
erty Belonging to the Religious
AssOcintiOns-It is Directed Espec-
tally Against the Catholic Orders,
But Applies Equally ns Well to All
Other Religious Congregations.
Paris, March 30.-The Law of Associa-
tons bill, one Of the most important meas
ures considered by the French Parliament
during the last decade, was passed last
evening by the Chamber of Deputies by
vote of SoS to 22O, amid prolonged min
isterial cheers.
Nj. Georges Trouillot CRepublican). re-
porter for the committee having the bill
In charge, closed his appeal for it's pas
sage with the following impressive dec
laration:
ITO our country, divided by political
revolutions, the republic gives a law
which offers to its adversares the great
est liberty, the right to unite freely No
government, no chamber ever raised to
so high degree of respect the princi-
pies and sentiments OF Republican duty"
The Rightists protested against these
remarks, but their voices were drowned
in the loud applause raised by the Left
lists. The vote was then taken.
The chamber had previously disposed OF
the concluding articles of the bill with
out change, with the exception of Article
IS, which was modified by the adoption of
an amendment proposed by M Gustave
FHopiteau, Radical Republican, providing
that the property of Illegal congregations
should not be confscated by the state on
their dissolution, but that the question of
the rightful holders should be decided by
the courts.
The effect OF the amendment will not
be to prevent the property going to the
state, but to give legal sanction to the
seizure. M. LHopiteau explained that
the object was to remove any anxiety
which might be aroused among the peo-
pie that property rights were endangered.
The chamber adjourned to May II.

Washington. March 29-Another impor-
tant dispatch was received at the War
Department to day from Gen. Macarthur
at Manila, dated to-day. 1t did not refer
to Aguinaldo or Funston, but in the opin-
ion of the War Department officials, 1t
went far to support the prediction made
by Gen. Macarthur in yesterdays dis
patch relating to those two leaders, to
the effect that the end of the rebellion is
near at hand This dispatch chronicles
the surrender of a considerable additional
number of rebels and military arms, and
the important feature of it is that .he
surrender marks the complete stamping
out of the insurrection in the island Of
Mindanao which is, next to Luzou, the
largest island in the Philippine group.
The dispatch is as follows:

Atlanta. March 29.-There is a move
ment on foot here to-day. says the At

to Atlanta and housed In the new Federal
prison. Who first started the idea is not
known, but the plan has taken well IN
every quarter. The majority OF the
Court House officials heartily iudorse IL.
The warm breezes OF the Sunny South
win prove an admirable substitute TO the
CAPTIVE for the temperate climate of the
Orient The plan will be suggested to
the officials I'm Washington, and II seems
more than probable that it wlll meet with
a favorable reception In the event 1t II
decided to hold the prisoner until after
the war is over.
Senator A. s. Clay said: my views in
regard to our duties In the Philippines
do not accord with the views OF the pres
ent administration as TO Aguinaldo. I
would bring him to the United States and
give him opportunity to study the re-
sources and strength Of our country. I
would invite other prominent Filipinos to
accompany him, that the leaders OF the
Insurgents might form proper IDEAS OF
this country. They would then really
see how fruitless further resistance would
be TO our arms ! would teach them that
eventually we intended the Filiplnos TO
enjoy the blessings OF good government,
such as this nation enjoys.
"If Aguinaldo should show proper ap-
probation Of our llberality and would
take the oath OF allegiance TO the United
states. would Immediately release him
without inhicting the slightest punish
ment. The American people will not toll
crate any unnecessary and cruel treat
