Trcastiur John Emmelutii, Auditor, THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1893 THE MILITARY VIEW. There is no naval power that could seriously invest the western coast the United States without these island as a base of refuge and supply. Kng land, to be sure, has the seaboard sta tions of British Columbia at hand, but these she could not hold against th tidal onset of American troops. the event of war her flag would be driven from the North American main land and she would have to supply he Pacific fleets with coal lugged all th way from Australia or the Asiatic coast that is to say, she would unless sh had obtained these islands. In that event her naval needs would be most satisfactorily met and, as from anothe Bermuda, she could make forays against the American mainland and upo United States commerce. It would 1 almost impossible to dislodge her, as modern system of fortification on Ha waii, re-enforced by a powerful flee would keep the group out of harm way. Admitting these facts some news papers yet argue that England does nt want the Hawaiian group, and that, she did, America would not permit h to take it. It may be answered that England has come to want all the colo nies she can get in the Pacific ocean. Time was when she was not so partic ular, but the prospect of the Nicaragua canal, the routes of commerce now made between all the British depend encies fronting on this sea, the growth of the United States as a naval power all these things have materially changed the political view which England took fifty years ago of the Polynesian and Micronesian archipelagos. Nothing would suit her better now than to make of Hawaii another Malta or Bermuda. As to the point of whether America would let her take the group or not all that need be said is that Great Britain, if engaged in conflict with the United States, would promptly occupy it if she could, excusing herself to the Hawaiian government by the plea of imperious necessity. Now, rather than to run the risk of the Islands falling to England, say in time of war, or to wait for such an emergency before seizing them on its own account as a matter of defense, the American government ought to go ahead and take them now. This is the time when they would come easily. By and bye when the tocsin had be gun to sound above jealous and clash ing powers on the Pacific, they might be hard to get. Then the " mistress of the seas" might have them by right of sudden seizure, whereat the value of coast property on the western sea board of the United States, and of American cargoes afloat in these waters would decrease by a greater sum in one day than is the whole total of the amount that would be now required to annex Hawaii and put it in a condition of defence. IIoi.v smoke! And now comes John E. Bush ex-Ambassador to Samoa, where he tried to put down the liquor traffic, drink by drink, to affirm that Charles Nordhoff and the Naked Truth are twins. Will Alapai, Norrie, Kenyon and the grand master of the hula-hula also make bold to support, with their impeccable characters, Mr. Nordhoff's repute for veracity? The Herald correspondent ought to begin to nrav to be delivered from his friends. Ik the editor of the half-white royalist organ imagines that there is no law in this country relating to the deportation of undesirable residents no law which, as the Star explained, could be ex panded to meet any given case then he is in the way of learning something to his disadvantage. Thk Holomua announces, under compulsion, that George Carson Ken yon and J. G. M. Sheldon are its edi tors. Both these men have records here which the Star, when it shall re ceive the permission of1 the Board of Health, will feel in duty luund to un cover with a long-handled rake. I Amiikosi.

Believed to Be Cleveland's Choice Succeed Minister Stevens. Washington, April 27. Minister Stevens expects to leave Honolulu for home on May 26th. I he announce ment was made to-day that his resign alion has been on file at the Stat Department for some time. Since the arrival of Mr. Blount on the islands Mr. Stevens has been tacitly given understand that he was not expected to perform any diplomatic functions or to assume any further responsibility of the United States on the islands. No action looking to the appoint ment of a Minister to Hawaii has yet been taken by the President, and, of course, none will be until Mr. Cleve land and his Cabinet return from Chi cago. It is believed that one of the first appointments then made will be that of Mr. Stevens' successor. Mr. Blount is regarded as the choice of President Cleveland for the place, although it has been repeatedly said lhat he will not be appointed. It is known how Mr. Hlount feels about it, but it is understood that the work is very agreeable to bim and he would accept the position if it were offered. Mr. Blount has an excellant knowledge of Mr. Cleveland's views regarding ihe policy to he pursued by the United htates in Hawaii, ana lor that reason is a very acceptable man to the 'resi dent, The salary is $7,000 per annum, HE REVIEW OF SHIPS.' t EVENTS OF THE GREAT NAVAL ! Vicf Admiral Koznakoff, who was in troduced to the President by Prince TOURNAMENT. President Cleveland Received with Due Honors The Fleet in Column Search Light Drill. Ni:v York, Aptil 27. Today oc curred the great naval review. The President was escorted to the Dolphin by naval aids, accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland and members of the Cabinet and their wives. The Duke of Veragua, the nation's specially invited guest, the lineal descendant of Columbus, followed the Dolphin in the army boat General Meigs, and the members of the Diplo matic Corps occupied the Coast Survey steamer Blake. As soon as the President touched the deck bang ! went one of the Dol- phine's guns, and the Presidents flag puffed out from its ball at the mast head. Then followed one of the most temarkable sights ever before seen on the waters of the river or in the harbor, Each and every one of the many kinds of the vessels seemed to have gone wild. I hey vied with one another in trying to make the most noise. From the big ocean steamer to the smallest of yachts it was all the same. The whistles of all continued shrieking and tooting salutes to the foreign ships. I he Dolphin, Concord and Mian to nomoh in turn fired the Presidential salute. The Dolphin forged slowly ahead, surrounded and followed by big and little steamers, crowdt d with men and women, famous and unknown to fame, and the great naval review had begun. Almost instantly the crews of the men-of-war all along the tine went to their positions facing the rail and at the mastheads and taps. 1 lie rain ceased and there were indications that led the anxious spectators to hope for the appearance of the sun At 1:30 the first "boom of the ten- nch gun on the Miantonomoh an nounced that the Dolphin, with the President on board, was passing up be tween the two columns of war vessels, l'he roar of the Miantonomoh's twenty-one guns, followed by a salute from the Brazilian ships Republic and 1 iradentcs. 1 hen the Dolphin s reply to the Brazilians was heard and a cloud of smolte ar..se over the lower end of the line of warships. The Brazilians manned the yards just before firing, and long lines of blutjacktts stood out against the white background of smoke, 1 he Dolphin moved at a slow and stately gait and the salute of each ship was distinct and sharp. I he Aquida ban, the flagship of the Brazilian fleet finished saluting at 1:40 and the Nueva Espana took its turn. At 1:44 the Seeadler, of the German fleet, fired its first gun. .She was fol lowed a moment later by the Reina Regente of the starboard column, and the two ships, one' on each side of the Dolphin, made things hum. I he Kaiserin Augusta joined the chorus. and echoes rolled up the palisades and down again until one seemed to hear a long line of artillery reaching for miles on the Jersey shore. The bands of the ships played national airs, but it was only at inter vals between the roar of the guns that the music could be heard. The salutes of the Van Speyk and Infanta Isabel ran into each other. I hen there was a pause for a minute and the Argentine cruiser belched forth a flash that was responded to by the big guns on the Giovanni liausan It was 1:53 when the Concord spoke. and she spoke so rapidly that the salute was done in two minutes. I he .I'.tna paid her respects next. Then after a shoit pause, a light blue puff arose above the dynamite tubes on the Vesu vius, and a few seconds later there wa a din overhead, as though the sky was made (if sheet iron and a bomb had struck it. People along the river front had not recovered fr 111 their astonish ment when a iharp tongue of fire shot out from the side of the Jean Bart, and there was a report that made women scream and windows rattle along the river Iront At 2 o'clock the Yorktown and Arethusa saluted together, gun fur gun Then there was an interval during which the bands could be heard play ing and the cheers of the sailors reached shore. I he Chicago then opened fire. and a moment latter the Russian Rynda added her guns to the chorus. Ihe B ltimore and General Admiral fol lowed At 2:08 the Tartar, the first of the British ships, saluted, the guns of the fiancroft and San I'rancisco going at the same time. 1 he British Magtcien ne and the Atlanta fired almost simtil taneously The Dolphin lessened speed as she approached the head of the line and there was an interval between the firing from the ships. Each vessel be gan saluting as the Djlphin's bow came abreast. Ten minutes after she passed the jack tars came down from their positions on the crosstrees, It was just 2:12 o'clock as England's crack cruiser, the Blake, fired her heaviest gun. There was a big puff of smoke and a deep boom, entirely dif ferent from the sharp sounds of the guns of the smaller vessels. The Philadelphia saluted as the Dolphin reached the head of the line, and came to a stop just in the rear of the cara vels. At the same time all the steam boats, tugs and pleasure craft blew their whistles and made a din almost as deafening as the saluting. There were cheering and waving of handker chiefs, hats and umbrellas, and the triumphal procession of the President ial party had ended. The wljistles sent up a cloud of steam, which, added to the smoke of the guns, obscured the yiew of a large p irtiou of ,the riyer. The Admirals of the diffetent squad rons thsn embarked in their steam launches and Proceeded to the Dolphin. Sir John If opkjns, the British Ad- iriVT ,lhc cnrst,0,arriv,c. "'IfT presented by Sir Julian Patinccfort, the British Ambassador. Next camo Cantaguze, the Russian Minister. Rear Admiral de Lihran of France was next presented by M. Patcnotre, the French Ambassador. Then came Rear Admiral Maginghi of Italy, presented by Baron l'ava, The Spanish Admiral, Scnor lono came next; then Admiral Howard 01 Argen tine, Rear Admiral Noronha of Brazil, nd finally the Captains of the German and Dutch steamers. This interesting part of the ceremony completed, the President left the steam er and entered the launch to land nt the foot of Ninety-fifth street. As he did so every vessels in the fleet again manned the yatds and once more fired a salute of twenty one guns. The President s flag was then lower ed from the Dolphin, and the public ceremonies of the day were considered over. Mrs. Cleveland left suddenly for Washington this afternoon. She wi. taken ill on the Dolphin while the Presidential boat was making the re viewing tour. As soon as the Dolphin anchored at the Ninety sixth street Mrs. Cleveland, Postmaster-General Bisscl and Mrs, Bisscll and Secretary I'hurbcr weie taken ashore in a naptha launch and driven to the Victori Hotel. Mrs. Cleveland appeared pale but was not seriously ill. It had been deemed best that she should not at tempt the trials of the ball. At the Victoria a few pieces of light baggag were gathered together and a start made for the Pennsylvania Depot in Jersey City. Mr. and Mrs. Bisscll and the President s sccietary accompanied Mrs. Cleveland to Washington. A exaggerated rumor or Mrs. Cleveland': illness became current and many anxious inquires were made at th Victoria Hotel. Inky darkness veiled the fleet at o'clock to night and not a sound wa heard by landsmen from the anchoret battle ships. Suddenly a ray of ligh shot upward from the Philadelphia. was long, dazzling and seemed pierced the sky. For a moment it re mained stationary and then disappeared That was the signal for the scheduler.' display of electrical torchlights witl which the w,.r vessels are provided some of them having $2,000 French lenses. Quickly following the Philadelphia'1 lead the American ships showed th many ways in which the lights are uset in active warfare to protect themselve from those marine terrors, torpcdi boats. At times the projected ray were concentrated at certain spot on shore, then turned far up the Hud son, making objects plainly visible at distance of five miles Following came another signal and simultaneously every light in the fleet ws turned toward th zenith. Slowly the rays converged un til they formed the apex of a brilliant silvery pyramid of incalculable height Experts say it could have been seei seventy-five miles away in any direc Hon. It was a sight never before wit nessed and never to be forgotten by the landlubbers. In conclusion the operators gave some examples of higl art in ray producing and describe vari ous figures on the heavens. VANDALS AT THE URN. The Ashes of Christopher Columbus in Thief's Hands. Chicago, April 28. Christopher Columbus' ashes were stolen this even ing. The glass containing them was broken and the priceless remains were lifted from their resting place by an un known thief, whose presence dese crated the sacred Convent la Rabida at Jackson Park. The ashes were car ried from a dark corner to the light of a window and carefully examined, that no mistake might be made. But the delay for examination proved disastrous to the purpose of the vandal and saved to the exposition and to posterity all that is left of the mortal remains of the great explorer and benefactor. The theft was disc ivered at the in stant the examination was complete, and while the little urn was being thiusl into his pocket. A struggle followed the discovery, but though the thief es caped the ashes were saved, and gen erations to come will bless the memory of the lowly janitor who fought success fully to preserve intact the relic hallowed by the ceaseless watch of holy monks through thecenturieswhich haveelapsed since Columbus' death. The ashes wen confined in a glass urn three by three inches in size and five inches in length, bound abaut the corners and angles with bands of pure gold. Within and covering the ashes is a roll of parchment inscribed in Spanish: "Christofern Colombo." The urn itself rests upon the dust-stained board box in which it has been kept at the Cathedial Santa Domingo and within another glass case, diamond-shaped, three feet in length and twelve inches in height. The whole stands upon a pedestal in the south end of the room in the west end of the convent. Wm.

The Young Commissioner Gives His Views But Little Transacted in Open Meeting. There were present at the Council meeting this afternoon all the Ministers, Councilmcn Wilder, Noll, Young, Ten- ney, Brown, Morgan, McChesney, Waterhouse, Allen and Damon and Commissioner C. L. Carter, who had just returned from Washington on the Belgic. Mr. Carter, on invitation from President Dole, reported Mr, I'hurston down with the measles when he last saw him, but hoped soon to get out. Mr. Carter thought that anrexa lion was a certainty. He also said: I he Secretary of the Interior at Washington was the only one of the administration who had declared him self against annexation, but he had ad nutted as not having investigated the question fully. Having made a study of the negro question in the southern states, .Mr. Carter had intended mak ing a trip through that section and securing immigration of the negroes to these islands, but having seen press comments showing an adverse opinion of this plan by the council he had come home instead. Mr. Carter strongly ad vised an agent to be immediately sent through the south to educate senti ment in our favor. It would give us a a chance to hear and see the people of the south. It would be a good chance to get the negroes. We have as much of a campaign before us in the states as either one of the great political parties of the United States before an election. The south wields a potent influence upon all legislation. Mr. Young asked why the people of the South wished to get rid of their negroes. Mr. Carter said that they had too many of them, that all except the rice and sugar men of the south were eager to get rid of them. Mr. Carter did not believe that the action of the Hawaiian Government in taking the negroes from the south would excite the hostility of the planters there. Petitions were presented from Ha waii for a re-survey of lands there so that small landholders could par ticularly obtain leaseholds in the Wai mca district of Kohala. Any. Gen. Smith read an explana tory statement as to the overdraft in his department for April as per statement of the Finance department. This was placed on file, as was also one from the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the same subject. The sum of $35, for publica tion of a manual, and $100, for duck suits for Co. E., was appropriated for the military. Tcnney introduced an act relative to stamp duties. Atty. Gen. Smith asked for an ad ditional sum of $e.ooo, f r incidentals in his department, which was ordered typewritten. At 2:45 lhe Council went into executive meeting. FOR JLEASE.

It is natural logic to conclude that if Wam vole's Preparation of Cod Liver Oil has power to prevent Consumption, it sure ly is able to cure these lesser emergencies. This vigor-making, fat pro ducing preparation is Absolute ly I asteless, in so far as Cod Liver Oil is concerned. All you notice is a delightful flavor of Wild Cherry and Anise. But the purest Norwegian Cod Liver Oil is there all the same. It is a great blood en richer. Best of all it is a natu ral food that in its stomachic effects, actually assists its own assimilation. In Pulmonary or Bronchial troubles it is unequalled. No one doubts the value of Cod Liver Oil, but not every one is able to take it.
