! Thomas Square wore different as
pect Saturday and last nights. the circle
of lights in the bandstand being ablaze

park. With the lights cleaning in the
center of the park pedestrians on all its
I four sides have now an almost uninter-
rupted view from street to street and
anyone walking or standing within the

! Square are yet of the opinion that the
Superintendent of Public Works should
place at least two electric arcs where
they will light up the entire park Brit
ish Commissioner Hoare, who resides
block beyond the square, is emphatic in
the statement that unless the square is
well lighted it will continue to be rem
devious of thieves and hold-ups, and the
class of ne'er-dowells which prowl about
under cover of darkness. He also sug-
gests that a few lights be placed at in
tervails on Young street Waikiki Of
Thomas Square. There is one electric
light halfway between the square and
Piikoi street where there should be at

Cuba and Statehood.

Perhaps they are correct Annexa-

statehood or not. would unQuestion-
ably be of great and immediate bcne-
ut to every person and interest in the
island Moreover, there are good
reasons for believing that this truth
is gaining ground among the Cubans.
II Is noticed that as the time ,p-
proaches for the creation OF the Gu
ban republic the Cubans are not quite
so clamorous for independence rs
they were. or as they seemed to be, a
few months ago
Texas Immediately upon its annex
alton became state Of the union.
California knocked for admission as a
state before the politicians had stop
ped wranglins over the proposition to
| erect 1t into territory and II came
in ms II state without passing through
the territorial stage. The situation
in those cases. however. was widely
| different from that which prevails ir
Cuba. Texas had been an independ-
cnt nation for nine years before 1t
was annexed to the United States.
The gold discoveries OF 1SiS peopled
California so quickly that It was nee
essary TO provide stable government
for II at once, and the Americans in
II. who composed large majority of
Its inhabitants. demanded a state gov
ernment, which proposition congress
was constrained to sanction.
The number of the actual residents
OF Cuba who have had any hand In
any sort OF government is small. The
Americans, Englishmen, Germans and
other elements of non-Cubans com
prise only n minute proportion of the
population of tho island. The vast
majority of the islanders are as yet

Mr.. Hollis took possession of the
mines for his clients and closed the
four men to work at days pay on de-
velopment. On Wednesday and on
Thursday trips were made to the
mine with ample provisions with
which to prosecute the work for the

has full supervision of the property at

again be congratulated on the indica-

Russia Charges China Nine Times

Great Britain's determination to fol
low the example OF the United States
and remit part of her indemnity
claims against China invites atten-
ti0n anew to the whole immoral and
unjust principle upon which the col
lectiye demand for an indemnity was
made.
Private claims, 1t is known. were
settled to very large extent by the
operations OF foreign citizens who
were supported by the military and
diplomatic authorities. American
missionaries took a prominent part
In the work, so did the the represent
atives OF the French church in China

cessfully carried out to balance the
account between Christian residents
and the societies which they repre-
scented and the Boxers.
The actual loss of the intervening
governments by the destruction OF
property was inconsiderable. 1t is
said that the market value of Italy's
legation, for whose reconstruction the
800 900, was $25, 900. A few hun
dred thousand dollars would probably
cover all the just claims of the pow

There remains to be discussed the
cost OF military expeditions. It was
