DEC. 19, 1885. The Mystery Solved. Mr. Daggett's Mission to Washington, and its Failure ! TRUSTWORTHY ALTHOUGH NOT AUTHORITY." BY A letter from Washington has been shown to us, which reveals the burden of the mission of Mr. Dog gelt, ex-Minister Resident of the United Stales in Hawaii, from the Government of this kingdom to the United States Government, at tho close of his term here. The com mission entrusted to Mr. Daggett was simply in relation to an old claim of this Government against the American Government. At tho date of the letter referred to, Mr. Daggett had left "Washington for San Francisco, having been authori tatively advised to abandon his mission. From the cxtraoi dinary course pursued by the Hawaiian Government that of sending a re called foreign minister on a delicate embassy to the Government recalling him this kingdom there fore secures the not unusual privi lege of paying, dearly no doubt, for an entirely unnecessary and, as it proves, useless diplomatic mission. It is to be hoped the facts of the case will be as extensively circu lated through the great journals of England, America and Australasia, as the first sensational report of Mr. Daggett having been commissioned to treat for the sale of the Islands to the Washington Government. THE CAROLINE ISLANDS. WHAT ONE 01' THE MISSIONARIES SAYS. Following is a letter addressed to the Secretary of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and received by last mail from Queensland. It will bo read with no little interest, after all that has already been published relative to the Caroline Islands dis pute, and the reference of the ques tion by Prince Bismarck to tho Pope's mediation : 1'onafk, Oct. ICth, 1885. Deak Brother: Please excuse a hasty note. You will want to hear the news. Germany, in tho person of Captain Pudderaan, commanding the war vessel Albatross, is now in port, and has just taken Ponapc. The imperial iiag has been raised ashore, fifty marines assisting. A treaty was made with nil the Kings, iive of them, to surrender, so far as oach one could, his rights to Ponapo. Emperor William take full possess ion. The ostensible reason offered is to protect German Commerce. But this protection of German inter ests will also include all native and foreign rights. Lands held by any foreignor will be secured to him j so will all of our mission interests, lands, schools, teaching, preaching and Churches. These arc the gen ertfl. tef ri)3 of the treaty. No doubt in tmio some olllcial will be appoint ed to,w,ork up laws, put the land in aeVtfraity' to tho people, and net theriWo tax paying" which will in clude not a little work for and by them. But Ponapc Is not alone taken. So arc tiio Pclew Island, Yap, Udeai and Ruk. The vessel leaves here for Kiuaio in a day or two, when that will be taken. Then will have been taken the whole of the Carolino Islands. Tho vessel did not call at the Mortlocks, be cause of a gale, but she is to return to take possession there. While the vessel was at Yap, she found there a Spanish vessel from Manila, with priests, troops, a governor, and much material imported for dwell ings. The purpose olthe Spaniard flilfci&lli.i. &.V&&3 .lrflfeflL,l,f.Jnl., ...JJX, -ttlA-jf was lo take Yap, but, on arriving, that was not formally done. The German vessel was a little sharper, hoisting her flag denoting sover eignly before the Spaniard, thus taking possession first, which, when tho Spanish vessel saw, she mado the best of it, and backed out, leav ing Germany master of the field. Somewhere in the European Coun cils, Germany having said she meant to take the Carolines, Spain replied, she held them by the priority of dis covery. Germany replied she had no respect for sudi ownership, possess ion was the n'y tuic way of hold ing them. Inunui ately she sent out her war vessel U, t.1 c the islands, if not possessed by uuj other power, and she has possessed them. This is a little hard for the natives, but tho feeble must succumb to the stronger. It would have been futile for us to have protested. The only way was to make it as plain lo the natives first as possible. Wc did this, and then advised them to sub mit to the inevitable. It came hard for them, but they did it with no show of refusal, though I know some of the Kings disliked it very much. No doubt in the end it will be the best thing for the people. And I am inclined to think that it will not bo many years before a German Colony will be along, mainly to cul tivate the land. And this may call for some changes in our missionary work. But we shall borrow no trouble till it comes. I have given you a hasty account of the events of these days. Men of ideas are the men to rule. May it all redound to the glory of God and the extension of Christ's Kingdom. I have just made a visit around the island, and found much to encourage and much to weep over. I purpose to do a largo amount of work in visiting, this year. The girls' school is mov ing on admirably. The little pupils, by sewing, have donated, last year, $35.00. This is well done for these daughters so recently in dark hea then homes. Yours faithfully, E. T. Doake. METEOROLOGICAL. The thermometer this noon stood at C5 the lowest mid-day tem perature recorded for the past five years. Barometer falling. The steam whistles to-day went as fol lows : in sec Enterprise Mill 3 30 fast Foundry 2 20 fast Hopper's 1 50 fast Honolulu Steam Planing Mill, correct. I would call attention to this from the fact that Mr. Lucas's whistle is blown daily at 12 o'clock from signal by electric bell communicated directly from the Survey Office. At this olllcc the correct time is known to a second. It would seem as if some arrangement might be made by which the public could have the advantage of this correctness of the steam whistle which is secured by the private enterprise of the Hono lulu Steam Planing Mill. As it is, the confusion of the different steam signals makes it impossible for the ordinary citizen to know which is the right one, while really a signal of that kind is practically the most convenient standard for the general public that can be devised. Occa sionally, it is true, the wires may be temporarily deranged like tho tele phone wires ; but it is only excep tional that is so, while there have often been whole months without a single failure of tho whistle lo blow on time.
