AN EVENT.
It would be indeed one of the roman--ces
of history, if the American fortes,
rn route to the Philippines, should use
these Islands for a coaling and supply
station, and by authority of the Am
erican Congress should plant the Hag
here even for an hour. Heretofore, the
discussion upon annexation has been
largely speculative estimates of the
value of this port, from a strategic
point of view. Even the most earnest
debaters looked only to the distant
future for conformation of their re
spective views. Men like Senator
White admitted no combination of cir
cumstances that would give strategic
value to these Islands. We believe
that no member of Congress, who was
in favor of, or opposed to annexation,
ever suggested in debate the possible
contingency of American soldiers, with
cavalry and artillery, crossing the
ocean Westward to the shores of the
Far East, and the making of Hawaii a
camp fire and bivouac of their track
less path. Suddenly, in the very
twinkling of an eye, this tidal wave
of war rises in the Atlantic, and with
the marvelous speed of such waves,
moves towards the Pacific, and may
within a few hours, bear into this port
on its crest, the American legions.
The daring of Dewey's fleet confuses
the thoughts of men, and bids fair to
change the map of the Orient. The
shells of the Baltimore crumbled the
Spanish ports, but more than that, they
loosened up some American traditions.
Marvelous as the rapid growth of the
people of the United States has been,
there are few better evidences of its
searching vitality than the sudden
plunge into the Orient.
officer. He is responsible for discip
line. He may not see the way clear to
allow any general liberty to the men.
We hope he will let the boys out with
out restraint. But discipline will be
maintained, and it may involve some
restrictions.
A SUDDEN SURRENDER.
It would not be surprising if the next
mail brought news that Spain had ask
ed for a suspension of hostilities, and
desired to negotiate peace on the terms
of the independence of Cuba, with the
restoration of the Philippines. It is
her last chance to preserve something
out of the Cuban wreck. If Spain takes
this action at once the Government of
the United States might consent to im
pose upon Cuba the whole or a part of
the Cuban debt. Spanish "honor" may
be satisfied like that of the bombastic
fellow, who engaged in a fight to save
his honor, and after his nose was bit
ten off by his opponent, declared that
his "honor" was satisfied, and he would
retire like a gentleman.
When the Spanish Queen asked the
Pope to pray for the success of the
Spanish arms, she forgot that the Holy
Father had eight millioms of Ameri
can Catholics to pray for also. He was
severely bound to maintain a neutral
ity of. prayer.
IF THE SOLDIERS COME.
As the existing war is solely in the
interests of humanity, there is every
reason for the union of all races here
in the welcome of the American troops
4f they should call at this port. We be
lleve that the Englishmen should join
in the welcome, in response to the feel
ing of the mother country. The warm
sympathy of Englishmen everywhere
else, in this war against barbarism,
should not be suppressed here, be
cause there are some political anta
gonists in existence. It should never
be said, if the American troops call
here, that while" the British Queen
-warmly sympathises, as we believe,
with the Americans in the efforts to
suppress revolting barbarism, her sub
jects on these Islands, for fear of the
political aspects of the case and from
an entirely personal standpoint, went
off and sulked, and filled the air with
their suspicions. When Commodore
Tatnall saw the British warships near
ly disabled in the fight with, the Chi
nese before the ports of the Feiho
river, and sent his boat's crew to work
the British guns, he simply said:
"Blood is thicker than water." He did
not stop to balance up the morals of
the British war with China, nor did
he pull down his books, and read about
the obligations of neutrals. President
McKinley sent this message to the
London Times: "Not the Government
alone, but the whole Nation feel most
deeply the good will sent to them
across the sea." We expect when the
British Queen through her Cabinet,
touches tho button that fires the hearts
of Britons everywhere, in this right
eous cause, and the hearts also of, 'The
men of the Four New Nations, and the
Islands of the sea,' that our English
colony here will not cut the wires that
run back through the seas to the Royal
hand."
It is not for the Englishmen here to
ask only, but to demand that they sa
lute the coming flag, across which is
written in letters of gold, "not for
conquest."
Whether the Germans will sympa
thize with the millions of their own
countrymen who are under the Stars
and Stripes is for them to say. They
may follow the cold neutrality of the
Fatherland. They may, with the rich
stores of American gold flung into
their laps, for near a quarter of a cen
tury, warm to a glow of gratitude, that
forgets neutrality for a moment. It is
for them to decide. The Americans
born and residing here do not ask their
aid and comfort.' It is merely an oc
casion for some tribute to the Nation
that has given them wealth.
It is not any simple affair to suit
ably entertain the American troops, if
they should visit this port. There is
an abundance and enthusiasm and
means for doing a handsome thing.
But, it must not be forgotten that a
state of war exists, and the soldiers are
not on any picnic. What liberty may
be extended to the men, while the
transports are here, is of course with
in the discretion of the commanding
Leilanis Want Money.
The members of the Leilani Boat
Club are most anxious to have a be
ginning made on their proposed boat
house, but at the present time, this
seem to. be as far off as ever. The
committee in whose charge the matter
of raising a sufficient sum was left, has
succeeded in getting $800 of the $1,000
desired. The last $200 is a very long
time coming. It will require $1,500 to
complete the structure which it is pro
posed to build, but the remaining $500
will not be needed immediately. The
sympathizers of the Leilani Boat Club
have now a good chance to step to the
front and assure their favorites of a
speedy beginning of what they have

A PLEASING AFFAIR.
Sir Robert and Lady Herron En
tertain at lleron-Dyke.
Sir Robert and Lady Herron gave a
very successful dance at their resi
dence, Heron-Dyke, last evening at
which some 125 guests were present.
There were 18 numbers on the pro
gram and dancing continued until
nearly 2 o'clock.
The floor had been carefully prepar
ed for the occasion and was in ex
cellent condition. The house was pro
fusely decorated with palms and vases
and festoons of maile. Flags were
draped about the entrance. Strings of
lanterns hung from the trees on the
lawn and on the verandas. Supper
was served at small tables on the
lawn.
The guests included many promi
nent society people who expressed to
Sir Robert and Lady Herron their
thanks for a most delightful evening's
entertainment.
