ABSTRACT OF THE HISTORY OK
EVENTS RELATING TO THE
NEUTRALITY OF HAWAII (SEE
HISTORICAL ACCOUNT ON PAGE
1 FOR LETTERS).
SPREAD THE TRUTH.
April 14, 1S9S Eleven days before
Congress declares war, and tv.xnty
turee days before new3 of its declara
tion, a received in Hawaii, President
Dole writes to Minister Hatch in
Washington saying that he "would be
pleased to receive suggestions from the
Washington Government In regard to
nil I - X - . 1 It.. TT!i..l
and Spain in case of war."
April 30 Seven days before news of
actual war, President Dole writes to
Mr. Hatch saying he would be glad to
aid the United States in some way.
(May 6 One day before news of war
ia received, and twenty-two days'after
President Dole ha3 asked for suggest
ions from . the Washington Govern
ment, interviews with prominent an-
annexation journal of this city, iq
-which interviews not one of them sug
gests or advocates abandonment of
neutrality.
, May 7 Steamer Rio do Janeiro
brines news that Congress declared
war on April 25.
May 10 President Dole and Cabinet,
icithout icaitiny for a reply to letter of
April lth asking suggestions from tho
Washington Government, send a dis
natch to Washington offering un
reserved alliance.
PctHod of three days only from the
time of the receipt of the news; unoffi
cially of the declaration of war, until
the next outgoing steamer of May 10th
takes this dispatch.
Inasmuch as Mr. Sewall's organ has
made the issue of the campaign, so far
as Mr. bewail is concerned, tne
'cowardice and treason" of President
Dole in the neutrality affair, the Ad
vertiser presents a historical account
of the matter, which the personal
friend3 of President DoLe should take
the trouble to place in tho hands of
prominent men in Washington, who
take an interest in our local affairs. It
is a vindication or Mr. uoie s cnaracter

WHAT CUBA'S LOSS MEANS TO
SPAIN.
The loss of Cuba means to Spain the
los3 of the very sustenance of the na
tion. Already her tax-ridden people
are crying for bread. In the same way
the los3 of your once vigorous appe
tite means poverty and starvation to
your body. If any reader of thi3 pa
per wishes to be as hungry again as
when a child, and wants to fully enjoy
hearty meals, drink Seattle beer. It
cures indigestion and dyspepsia. On

Boy Treated b an Oculist With

"When my little boy was three months
old his eyes became very sore and he was
almost blind. I took him to an oculist
who treated him for six months, and left
him as bad as he wa3 at the beginning.
Finally Hood's Sarsaparilla was recom
mended and I began giving it to him.
In less than three weeks he was able
to go into the sun without covering
his eyes, and today his ej-es are perfectly
well, and his ears and nose, which were
badly affected, are also well. Hood's
Sarsaparilla haa certainly done wonders
for my boy." Mrs. James II. Paintee,
Amador, California. Remember

duct by Mr." Se wall's organ:

Tho Commissary General of the u. S
A. is a bold, bad man to throw down the
crauntlct to the temperance societies by
advocating that enlisted men be provided
with beer.
The Chinese immigrants in the habeas
corpus cases have one consolation. They
are not supposed to understand m any
way the ramifications of the many ex
tended arguments.
It is believed that the Chamber of Com
merce and the Government are able to at
last unite on a plan for a Greater Harbor
for Honolulu. Assurance of improvement
is a good Christmas present for the ship
ping Interest.
The United States authorities are going
after the jndian kahunas in Alaska. The
native doctors in Alaska when they find a
patient whose case fails to respond to
treatment declare tne sick maiviauai ne-
witched and relatives must destroy the
sick one as a sorcerer.

On December 12th the Bulletin, the
organ of Mr. Harold M. Sewall, candi
date for governor of this territory
said:
"The official organ knows too mueh
about the neutrality record of coward
ice and treason, and hence doesn't care
or dare to go into details."
The Advertiser has chosen its own
ima for eroinir into details. Before do
ing so, it preferred to induce Mr. Se
wall and his organ to put themselves
fairly, fully and broadly "in black and
wt0" va thA rfvcnonslhle authors of a
n uiwv w - - r '
charge of "cowardice and treason
oi5ct President Dole. Its plan has
U(jUluuv
admirably succeeded.
.The Advertiser has regarded Mr,
Sewall's campaign founded on Presi-
iiont rviv "cowardice and treason, as
a rich comedy.
President Dole had asked President
McKinley on April 1-1 th for "sugges
tions" regarding neutrality. Before
President McKinley had time to consi
der the matter, and make any "sug
gestions," and within three days from
the time news was received of the de
claration of war, President Dole's Gov
ernment, without submitting the mat
ter to the Hawaiian Senate, as it
should have done, put Hawaii at Presi
dent McKinley 's disposal.
To call this "cowardice and treason"
merely creates the material for rich
comedy.

So far as the Advertiser is concerned
an tai3 matter, whether Mr. Dole is or
is not a candidate is not of the slight
est consequence.
The Advertiser is owned and edited
by kamaainas who are also loyal
citizens of the United States. It has
some local pride. It resents and will
resent this attempt of "yellow" cam
paign journalism to advance the inter
ests 'of a candidate for office, by accus
ing of "treason and cowardice" a man
-who, as a citizen, has since tho days
