range of the glasses IL was discovered
that in the offing fioated two cruisers
of the first class and one battle ship,
flying the Japanese flag and cleared
for action. The officer in command
of the fort at once communicated this
fact TO the governor, and consulta-
ton was called, to which all officials
of both branches Of government were
summoned. Inasmuch as the gravity
of the situation required the absolute
concurrence of all concerned, the con-
sultation was not confined to men of
high rank, but included every COM
missioned officer from the army and
every official of standing in the civil
government. The men, wondering at
this strange call, and aware that
something unexpected had happened,
responded to the summons and re-
paired to the governors office, where
they seated themselves silently, and
waited for that executive to address
them. He, a man grown gray in the
diplomatic service of his nation, paced
up and down the room as if loath to
speak.

He stood for few moments, as Ii
dreading to tell his auditors of his

bling hand opened drawer of his
desk and took out file of official
documents, which he held before him
as he continued:

CHAPTER III.
When the F!au Came Down.

When the Flag Came Down.
The government was compelled to
take action toward pacifying it's own
subjects Immediately after the news
of the Hawaiian surrender, public in
dignation having risen to the point
where the people threatened to take
matters into their own hands. With
out a dissenting voice the journals Of
the country camC forth with scathing
editorials, occasionally asking the
president whether it was the intention
of the administration TO run up a
white flag as soon as a fast approach
ing enemy nearcd the shores, and thus
surrender the whole United States.
Therefore an appeal for patience was
issued in the following terms:
The president and his cabinet,
acting for and empowered by congress
in special session, most urgently ask
the people of the United States to
withhold Judgment on the conduct of
the war for at least a week longer;
when it will be fully demonstrated
that the government is following a
well-defined policy. which will not only
avert blOodshed, but will impose no
disgrace upon our country. The ex-
igencies of the situation are such that
to make public our plans would be to
defeat our own ends. We therefore
ask the earnest support and co-opera-
ton of the people OF the United States
by such means as lie within their
power, which at this time can be
shown best by cessation of mass
meetings and criticisms tending only
TO embarrass tho government in the
discharge of It's duty and the bringing
10 a successful termination the con-
fict which is now on
Contrary to tho usual form of procla-
nation, this one was signed not only
by the president. hut by all members
Of his cabinet, Who, therefore, jointly
assumed the responsibility. At first
there was an inclination to deride the
message, AID then when more sober
thought prevailed spirit OF fairness
dictated that tho administration should
have its chance.

tack might be expected against the

strate its theories.
1t was possible that the public tenn
per would have remained passive for
the full period, but for somewhat
unfortunate and graphic description OF
what bad taken place in the Philip
pines, cabled by the correspondent
Of London paper, who had been on
the scene, and which read as follows
"The surrender Of the Philippine is
lands by the United States to Japan
constitutes what is probably the most
remarkable chapter in the history of
wars. Not only was there no battle
fought nor any. attempt made at de-
tense, but what is worse, or would
seem so to any man with red blood
in his veins, is the humiliation i'm
posed upon the Americans by their
home government. To an impartial
observer it would appear that nothing
but madness could dictate such pol
icy. The facts of the case are as fol
lows:
Although trouble had been ex.
pected with Japan by every reasoning
inhabtant of the islands for many
months, the government at Washing
ton apparently made no attempt what
ever to strengthen its position, and,
OH the contrary, seemed rather en-
deavoring to weaken it. AS the whole

mense and costly Notifications under
progress of construction in the islands
for the last ten years. More than 80
days ago, by official order, work on
these defenses was summarily stopped,
the workmen discharged and the en-
gineers ordered home. This was the
first act of treachery toward the Phil
ippines.
Immediately following this incom-
prehensible action all war vessels in
waters surrounding the islands and on
the Pacific station were ordered to
ports in Europe, where they rendez-
voused in what can never be anything
but neutral territory. And there they
are at this moment, thousands of
miles from the scene of conflict, in
capable of either offense or defense.
Had the government deliberately
chosen to put itself out of touch with
the whole war. it could have selected
no more effective method. Your cor
respondent has had the honor of an
intimate friendship not only with the
civil officials of the islands, but with
the men of the army and navy as well,
and is therefore i'm position to give
trustworthy and detailed information
of what at this time seems little less
than an infamy.
ut had been known for some days
that orders of most remarkable ma
ture had been received by the govern
or of the islands and the commanding
general. What these were, however,
remained secret until that memoir

Lrnx Asleen WIth Chickens.

Andy Harris, a mountaineer living
nine miles east of here, killed one OF
the largest lynx ever seen in the Blue
mountains, Sunday, after the animal
had killed as Plymouth Rock chick
ems, says a Dayton, Wash, item. Har-
ris brought in the head of the great
beast to town yesterday and claimed
his bounty of $3.50. The lynx was
found asleep in the chicken house
Sunday morning, lying contentedly
among its prey. Every one of the
fine fowls had been bitten through
the head and dropped from the roosts
in rows. Harris summoned his boy
to fetch a gun, and before the boy
reached the shed the animal made its
escape. A hot chase followed and the
marauder was finally treed. 1t was
found to measure nearly five feet from
nose to tip of his tail. Lynx are said
to be thick this spring in the Blue
and have become bold
since the heavy SHOWS.

TURKISH BARLEY SHORTAGE.
Export Prohibited by Smyrna-Oppor.
tunity for Sales.

tunity for Sales.
Consul Ernest L. Harris. writing
under date OF January s, advises tina
the embargo recently placed by the
Turkish government upon the export
of barley from the port of Smyrna /;
still in force, to which he adds:
One of the largest shipping firms
in this city, as well as some minor
ones, are having considerable trouble
in attempting to carry out orders
placed for their customers before this
prohibition went into effect A period
of six weeks was given them to meet
their engagements, but they state that
this limit has not been sufficient.
There is a great shortage this season
all over the country, and there is as
great an opportunity for the sale of
barley in these parts as there is for
wheat.
1t must be understood, however, by
American dealers in cereal that the
present great demand for foreign grain
in Asia Minor Is but a temporary one.
Asia Minor Is naturally grain-pro-
ducing country, and it is only when
1t Is visited by a famine, as at pres
ent, that the prices of all foodstuffs
rise rapidly, and an artificial demand
is thereby created for foreign pro-
ducts.
The winter thus far has been mild,
althouph severe weather NAV still
come during February. A mild win
ter is usually the precursor of large
grain crops throughout the vllayet of
Smyrna. In view of these facts, it
may be safely predicted, in the natural
order of things at least, that the pres--
ent market for foreign cereals will
last about another six months.
Barley Is one of the most important
cereals in Asia Minor. This is not
only true today, but 1t has been so
as far back as the history of this
country may be traced. In districts
where rice is not to be obtained it is
even used as a substitute for the nat
ural Turkish dish of "pllaf." The
of Amasia and the
plains of Sivas are celebrated regions
for the production of barley. More
than $4,000 tons annually are export
ed from the port of Samsun.
