A PACIFIC ROMANCE.

For good hot-weather reading COM
mend us to the Jules Verne novelette,,
attributed to a gentleman on the
cruiser Tacoma, relating to a possible
survival of the men lost with the Unit
ed States sloop-of-war Levant which
left here A years ago for San Diego
and was never seen again.
According to this interesting specu-
lation the Levant could not have lost
the mast which was afterwards found
on shore in Hawaii unless she had run
aground. Her day, it is presumed, was
before tho practice grew Up of cutting
away the inasts of beam ended ves-
sci to right the hull. Having run
aground, it must have been on some
hitherto unknown island, hence, if the
island can now be discovered, n colony
of LeVant survivors may be found sub
sstng on goonie eggs and sea air
and waiting patiently to hear whether
South Carolina seeded or not.
For story off the Tacoma this is
exceedingly rich. At the present OUT
look the imaginative persons on the
inter-island steamers must guard their
laurels,

It seems hardly worth while to search
the public institutions of Hawaii for
Algernon Shaw. If he had been in any
of them the fact would have come out
during previous inquiries. If Shaw is
living, the chances are that he VIII be
found in the Orient where the seabcard
cities are full of men who are trying
to make the Western world forget them
Australia has also been mentioned rs
Shaw's possible refuge. Hawaii is toe
small place for a man like him
whose picture has been published twice
and whose story has been told over and
over again, to hide away In. Even
criminal, trained to the utmost warl
ness, finds It impossible to conceal him
self here,

A CHANCE FOR HAWAII.

While there never was any use In
asking the United States Government
to return the customs receipts OF Ha-
wall. the fact that so much money is
being taken from us in that form is II
sound argument to use at Washington
for the purpose OF gettpg valuable
consideration in exchange.
There are many things Congress
might do for us. some of which we shall
have in time anyway such as forts and
public buildings. What we should pull
for is something not to be had without
pulling, something that will restore 20
local trade part of the prosperity once
derived from the circulation of customs
revenues here.
why not a large military postP Not
a post of two or three companies or
even of a battalion, but one fit for the
command of "A Brigadier General-a
regiment of infantry, regiment OF
cavalry at least five batteries of artii-
lery, company or two of engineers
and a hospital contingent Such force
would expend enough money in Homo
lulu, month by month, to keep all Kinds
of business active. The Advertiser be-
lieves that proper representations at
Washington would get it, especially as
land to accommodate "A large military
force has already been acquired here
by the Federal government.
We speak of proper representations"
These are. as we understand them:
|. That the United States has tropi
cal possessions in and bordering on the
Pacific ocean-Samoa, Guam, the Phil
ippines and Panama-whence call
may suddenly come for troops. 1t is
not wise. IL avoida BILE, to send details
from northern climates as the men are
likely to lose time getting acclimated.
Hawaii is a place where, amid health
full surroundings, troops may be sea-
soned for service in hot climates. from
here they could easily reach any Pa
cific tropical station where they might
be needed.
IL. The argument used by Major
General Macarthur in favor of build
ing the Hawaiian militia to a high state
of efficiency applies with tenfOld force
to the building of great regular army
establishment here. If there are
chances of war in the next few years
and Hawaii is to be safeguarded for the
sake of the Coast, the Federal govern
ment must depend upon it's own we'll
trained troops. not upon the undlsciplin-
ed levies of the National Guard.
III. The United States has taken
away so large a part of the revenues
upon which Hawaii formerly depended.
that it would be only fair play to give
this Territory the benefit, now freely
conferred upon other parts of the
Union which have no claims to special
compensation, Of money-spending
garrison.
These considerations, made the most
of at Washington, ought to go long
way towards getting Hawaii the large
increase in its consuming class which
the needs of business call for.

The illustrated papers continue TO
impose on their readers in the matter
of war scenes. Harpers Weekly for
May has a two-page picture labeled
The Japanese in Northern Korea-Ad-
vance of Reenforcements to VIII.
That picture was taken in January,
1895, and represents a march of Jap
anese troops and coolies from the ST an
tung Promontory which appears i'll the
background, towards the walled town
of Yung Ching. The original has been
in possession of this office for years
The London Illustrated News also has
a picture of an alleged march of Jap
anese troops in northern Korea, but
unfortunately it equips them with the
naval flag.

A BURDEN ON HAWAII.

The request from Washington that
Honolulu shall do something for the
entertainment of sixty Philippine Com
missioners is the third one of the kind
which has been received during the
past few months. The last previous re-
quest had to do with Prince Pu Lun
and the one before that with Secretary
Taft and party. quite likely the Fed
eral Government will request similar
attentions for the Duke D'Abruzzi.
Honolulu, as the first American port TO
receive distinguished people crossing
the Pacific from either Australia pr the
Orient, is apparently expected to do the
preliminary honors for the Federal
Government and even, on occasion, to
speed the outward-bound visitor Be
fore this summer Is over the city Will
be given opportunities to initiate or Sec
ond the official hospitality of the Unit
ed States for a number of foreign celeb
rites going to or coming from the
Worlds Fair.
All this is delightful but costly. The
Governor has, we believe, small sum
at his disposal for State entertain
ments, but single great function
would use it up. 1t was not the Leg
islative intention, moreover, to spend
this money for the delectation of the
guests of the United States government
but for such distinguished American
visitors as Senators, Ministers Plenipo-
Tertiary, Governors and Generals. In
the present eXigency, that for the en-
tertainment of sixty Philippine Com
missioners, the burden has been passed
to private citizens: and the Chamber
of Commerce and Merchants Associa-
ton are considering an elaborate pro-
gram of entertainment. TO properly
house and feed these people and show
them the island can hardly cost less
than $500; indeed, that sum would cut
things very close.
Now so far as Hawaii is individually
concerned it does not care anything for
the good or i'll opinion of Chinese
princes or Philippine commissioners, 1t
looks for no immigration nor any great
amount of tourist travel nor advertis-
ing from these transient classes. or
course it wishes them well and would
be glad to have them drop off at any
time to see the sights and spend some
thing; but it naturally asks why 1t
should devote hard-earned and much
needed local money to their entertain
ment when the benefit, if any, will
accrue to the United States.
:. And this prinsss US to the point. IL
Honolulu is to be an lnsular reception
bureau for the guests of Uncle sam,
then Uncle Sam should see that the
necessary moneys are provided for pay
ing the bills There is a large enter
tainment fund at Washington. Could
not some of 1t be deposited here TO the
order of the Governor for such use as
the coming of the sixty Philippine COM
missioners implies? Assuredly the
President cannot expect this oVerbur-
dened Territory to foot such bills any
more than he could expect the District
of Columbia to do it; nor is il fair 10
ask the Governor or the commercial
bodies to assume an obligation watch

FIRST JAPANESE DISASTER.

The japanese, in the loss OF the hat-
tleship Hatsuse the fast cruiser Yosln-
no and the smaller cruiser Mikaya,
have met an unexpected misfortune.
The loss of the Yoshino Is attributed TO
collision: but the Hatsuse and Mi
kaya are said to have been sunk by
Russian mines. The disaster reduces
the japanese battleship squadron to
five, exclusive of the guard ship chen
Yuen. which is not on foreign duty.
For the loss of the two cruisers the
recent purchases from Chile will Iuore
than make up: but the Hatsuse IS not
likely to be replaced unless. as seems
doubtful, the japanese succeed in cap
turing a first class Russian vessel in
tact.
Until full particulars arrive there VIII
no a sn,spicion In the public mind that
the Hatsuse suffered from the attack
of one of the submarine boats which
the Russians are said to have at Port
her in the midst of the Russian mine
field, especially since the entrance to
Port Arthur was INSTRUCTED. She did
not need to venture there for the sake
of bombarding, the usual station Tor
such purposes being three miles out
Inshore work is not a battleship's or
binary business. Reading the Hat
suse's misfortune in the light OF the
cabled statement that the Russians
hulks as to permit the passage OF small
craft, what more natural to suppose
than that submarine torpedo boat
was the instrument of the japanese
ships sudden doom.
ISince the above was written the
news came that the sinking of the Hat
suse occurred ten miles off Port Arthur,
with the Russian torpedo fiotilla in close
proximity. This information increases
the likelihood that submarine boat
was used.l
The reputation of the battleship has
fallen to a low plane in this war and
it is even suggested that the time Will
soon come when fighting ships will
abandon armor for the same reason
that fighting men discarded 1t many
years ago. The more probable result
is, however. that battleships-which are
still needed as platforms for great guns
will be accompanied in action by
covey of submarine boats, the business
of which will be to engage and give
warning of an enemy of the same class
AS the torpedo boat was offset by the
torpedo-boat destroyer, so the sub
marine may be matched or overcome by
vessels of it's own kind.
Greater caution will doubtless be eX-
ercised during the remainder of the
war by the Japanese blockading YES
sells. There is no telling what may hap
pen yet in the way of foreign interfer-
ence and Japan needs to husband lter
naval resources with the utmost care.
Doubtless, as a means of full protec-
ton, extraordinary efforts viii be made
by the army TO dispossess Russia of her
two Pacific ports.
