'OTES ON THE SITUATION.
ica means, in the end, the freedom of
the Philippines. Some power will take
them. The United States do not want
them. Some power will occupy them.
Why not Japan?
The only definite news received yes
terday bearing on the question of war
or peace is the dispatch of April 14th
from Washington, that the House of
Hepresentatives, by a vote of 32 1 to 20,
Aas authorized .the President to inter
vene in the Cuban matter. If the re
port is correct, it means that the Presi
dent's policy has prevailed, and Con
gress refuses to take the matter out of
his hands by declaring war. But the
dispatch does not state whether the
Senate had concurred. Without con
currence by the Senate the resolution
is of no force. So that it is not certain
though it is highly probable that the
resolution, was at the latest date in the
Senate for concurrence.
The dispatch regarding a row in the
House, seems to refer to the vote re
jecting by 191 against 150, the resolu
tion to recognize Cuban independence.
As .the members of the House are boil
ing over with indignation against
Spain, such an outbrust is natural. But
the rejection of the resolution shows
"that President McKinley has his party
well in hand, and toy its vote it has en
trusted to him the power to intervene.
That the House refused to recognize
the independence .of Cuba indicates
that at the time of sending of the dis
patch, war was not imminent, though
probable.
A Young Woman's Wish.
The younge women of society here
who were fortunate enough, to meet
President Dole were delighted, and
never tire of praising his handsome ap
pearance end pleasing manners; but
even residence at the seat of Govern
ment does not make of these butterflies
sound politicians, a.s the following con'
versation will show:
"I think President Dole charming,"
said the blonde; "so bright and clever
and yet so courteous and considerate."
"Yes," answered the brunette, "he
certainly is, but I do hope he won't
take Cuba; my sympathy has alway;
been fro Cuba." N. Y. Tribune.
President Dole Is Asked to Send
Postage Stamps.
That there is some doubt in the
minds of at least some Americans as
to what title should properly be given
the President of Hawaii, or whether
this is a Republic or not, the following
letter, received by President Dole a
few days since is an evidence:
"Bklyn, March 28. 1SJ-
"To Your Highness
"Dear King:
"Would you be kind enough to send
me some pos-tage stamps of your
Country. They say the are very pretty
and I would like to have some very
much.
"And I will often think of you.
"Very Truly Truly Yours.

MR. EDITOR: Your note about the
Night Blooming Oderless Excavator in
this morning's issue is correct, but you
left one item out that the public should
know of and it is that I had to invest
in a brand new Undershirt for .the poor
old thing to protect it these chilly
nights.
I can now Spike my colors to the
pump and Bloom all night without
having her shiver. Yours,
L. D. LA PIERRE,
Manager, N. B. O. E.
Honolulu, April 26, 1898.
It is highly improbable .that the ru
mor is correct, as reported by an officer
of the Mariposa that war had been de
clared on the lGth, for the reason, as
we have said, that there is no dispatch
stating that the Senate had concurred
In the House resolution, and therefore
the President could not take any de
cided action.
The European papers are closely esti
mating the comparative strengths of
-the American and Spanish navies. The
Daily Mail, London, says: "One of the
many reasons for Great Britain's com-
S parative non-interest in the coming
war, not the least is our better knowl
edge of the Spaniards and their paper
navy, and our conviction that the Anglo-Saxon
will always defeat the Latin.
Indeed, the trend of Britsh thought is
towards surprise that the greatest of
republics should excite itself unduly
about so poor a foe."
British thought recalls the history of
the days when Nelson and Jervis won
their victories on the Nile, at Cape St.
Vincent and Trafalgar, not because
' their men were so much superior to the
French and Spaniards, but because
they were thoroughly trained to fight,
and their officers had the staying qual
ities of the Anglo-Saxon race. How far
these qualities will count in a fight
with modern ships, remains to be seen.
It is safe to assume, however, that no
modern inventions take the place of
ibrains and "sand." So that in the esti
mate of naval strength merely ships
and guns are not the only factors.
REWARD OF MERIT.

"I feel that I oueht to write a few
words in praise of Hood's Sarsaparilla,
which has done great things for me. I
was in a delicate condition and was 6ick
at my stomach and constipated. I tried
remedies highly recommended for female
weaknesses, but the medicines brought
on other troubles. I was so weak I
could not attend to my household duties.
and I then determined to try Hood's Sar
saparilla. After I had taken this medicin
a short time I began to gain strength. I
Crew Stronger Each Day
until I was able to work all day without
any inconvenience. I have taken Hood's
Pills for constipation, and I am better to
day than I have been for five years.
Since taking Hood's Sarsaparilla and
IIood'B Pills I feel rested in the morning.
I am less nervous and am Bure I have
richer and purer blood. I have always
been bothered with scrofula, but now I
am rid of it. Before my last child was
born I took Hood's Sarsaparilla, and
my girl baby was fat and strong, while
my other child was not well and lived
to be only two years old.'.' Mrs. E. F.

Rear Admiral Erben, whose speech
In London at the Jubilee conmmanded
so much admiration, said recently at a
dinner party in New York: "The first
thing in the art of self-defense is to
keep a civil tongue in your head, and
I think we should have done that until
we were ready for war." The Ameri
can navy men who must do the fight
ing, the men who are to face the fires
of hell broken loose in the clashing of
the battleship naturally feel some
what indignant that they must fight
with only a moderate navy, because the
country has meglected to prepare for
war, in the days past. The price of
neglect is blood, and it is their blood
that must be paid in the settlement,
and not that of the men who are re
sponsible for the neglect.

.FA PAN AND SPAIN.
There is no English statesman better
qualified to judge of the international
situation than Sir Charles Dilke. His
statement, repeated in the recent Aus
tralian papers, that Japan may be
tempted to interfere, in the event of a
Spanish-American war, and capture
the Philippine Islands is entitled to
much weight. It is his opinion that
Japan having found herself, largely ex
eluded from benefits, in spite of her
victory of .the Chinese, will be glad to
acquire the Philippine Islands as a
compensation. As the British are dis
posed to make some sort of alliance
with the Japanese, the latter may make
a move on the Philippines with the
tacit assent of the British. But there
does not seem to be any justification
for interference unless there is some
alliance with the United States, as
against Spain. It is possible that
Japan would virtually tender her mavy
'to the United States, in order to secure
such a result. Possible, but not prob
able. A war between Spain and Amer-
