HAVANA EDITOR Is CRITICAL
Makes Some Remarks Regarding the Bat
tIeahIp Maine.

tIeahIp Maine.
Havana, July 5.-The DiariO de In
Marina. organ of the Spanish party,
has its leading editorial on the ques-
tion of the claims growing out of the
destruction of the battIeShip Maine.
The paper says the higher interests of
Justice have placed before the United
States the hard alternative of admit
ting the legality of the claims and pay
ing them, which would represent an
enormous sacrifice: or of cOnfessing
before the whole world that the Amer
leans were stupid and lying in accuS-
ing Spain and in provoking Il war for
which Spain was unprepared, and as
the result of which she lost all her
colonies.
Between the two extremes of shut
ting up and paying" says the paper.
'.Or confessfng that lie has abused
force. we shall see which road Mr.. Nc
Kinley Will take" There is a general
movement now to hasten elections and
install the new government.

TO PROTECT TIE FISH
Of ISLAND WATERS
Important Meeting on
the Question Held
Yesterday.
A BILL FOR THE LEGISLATURE
NET WITH FINE MEsHEs AS USED
BY CHINESE WAS
EXHIBITED.
Hard Battle Is Anticipated by the
Promoters of the cause-Perma-
nent Association is Formed for
Carrying Out the Ends Desired.

The meeting at the chamber of COM
merce yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of organizing an association TO
promote fish culture in the Islands
was lightly attended. Those present.
however, proceeded with the work in
hand, and the subject or fish culture
and fish legislation will have the back
ing of a solid organization of some
of the prominent men in the Islands.
ii E. Cooper was made temporary
chairman and Walter G.. Smith secre-
tary. On taking the chair. Mr.. Cooper
stated that the object of the. meeting
was to create an organization for the
purpose of correcting fishing abuses
in the waters of the Islands and TO
suggest legislation for the promotion
OF the fisheries in various ways.
Mr. Herbert exhibited net used
by the Chinese in fishing The meshes
were very small and as he said no liv-
ing thing could Green through. He
also spoke in favor of law protect
ing mullet and ava at this season Of
the year.
c. A. Brown. manager OF the Ii Es-
tate. favored immediate organization
and the appointment of committees TO
draft bills to be submitted to the legis-
lature. He considered two matters es-
pecially in need of early legislative
action. First, the size of the meshes
in nets used in fishing; and second.
the prohibition of catching the differ
ent kinds of fish at their spawning
periods. He stated that in making
leases to people to fish in the waters
of the Ii Estate in Pearl Harbor. that
clause is inserted requiring net
meshes to be one and one-half inches
Mr. Brown further stated that he ex-
pected the fight for restrictions on
fishing would be an uphill battle, os
the natives do not believe in any re-
Strictions and until the Hawaiian
ceases to be a factor, he will cause
the greatest trouble in enforcing Ash
ing regulations. Mr. Brown told of
the futile attempt made by him to
secure an agreement among the own
ers of Pearl Harbor fisheries to OBJ
serve closed season Of three months.
ne fact that this failed may be taken
as an indication of She difficulties IN
the way OF securing the necessary
Legislation.
Mr.. Cooper hoped the association
would be formed and that it would
not only correct existing fishing
abuses, but that it would seek to in
crease the fish supply and multiply
the varieties by establishing hatch
cries and importing new varieties
from the mainland.
On motion Of W. E. Fisher. the chair
man was empowered to appoint COM
mittee of twelve to draft bills for sub
mission to the legislature. The COM
mittee will be announced later.
On motion of Gcvt-ncr Dole the
chairman was authorized to call
meeting as soon as this committee IS
ready to report.

which was admitted BY Mr. Thompson.
