THE BALTIMORE SAILS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HONOLULU, March 24, 1898. The Balt!more is about to sail for Hong Kong. She carries to the China squadron thirty tcns of ammunition just sent down by the training ship Mohican. The latter will remain here for some months probably with the Bernington. It is evidently the view of your Navy Department that in case ef war with Spain the more immediate danger io United States commerce will not be on this side of the Pacific, but on the other, where Spain maintains naval forces at Manila. Something might also be done to distress Spain through her rebels in the Philippines. But we hope that by the time this reaches you the im- mediate danger of war will have given way by an amicable settlement of the Maine incident. There cannot well be any danger to American commerce from Spain on this side of the ocean, until sufficient time has e:spsed for sailing privateers to reach these waters. Two or three small armed steam- ers could cruise after these, making Hono- lulu their coaling station. No doubt, in case of war, such armed boats would soon. be set on guard between here and the coast. The use of steam cruisers by Spain in the eastern Pacific will be impossible, for lack of coal, so long as Honoluli is occupied by an adequate United States naval force. Right here comes in the en- ormous strategic importance of Hawaii tu the United States. By your occupation of Honolulu, €very possible enemy except England becomes absolutely paralyze for effective attack upon your Pactfic ports, or upon your commerce. It becomes impos- sible for their warships @o procure any supply of coal. They are rendered helpless. How is it possible for any senator or Tepresentative to continue insensible to the importance of this fact? Hawali is made, by her position, the key to the naval con- trol of the northern and central Pitcific. By possessing Hawaii, the United States becomes absolute mistress of tis great ocean, and obtains absolute security. While she holds Hawaii, no steam cruiser or steam privateer of an enemy can possibly maintain existence within four thousand miles of your Pacific coast, with the ex- ception of England. Even England would be fatally hampered by your command of the Straits of San Juan de Fuca. We feel encouraged to hope that your present alarm of war will convincingly fix upon these important facts the attention of Some of your statesmen who hitherto have disparaged the strategic necessit: - wail to America. i ane No Parallel With Cuba. I desire to reiterate some former state- ments showing the peculiar fitness and de- sirableness of Hawail becoming a part of the United States, on account of an at- tempted parallel of its case with that of Cuba, when they are thoroughly dissimilar. A Washington correspondent of a leading New Engiand paper, under date of Febru- ery 28, argues against the annexation of Hawaii, on the ground that “if Hawali be annexed, it is hard to see how Cuba like- wise can long be denied admittance into the Union.” ‘He says: “The two subjects are very ciosely related, and to an extent interde- pendent.” They may be so connected in Ecpular misapprehension. I think there is Teally no connection between them. All the conditions of the two are totally dis- similar, with the one exception that the United States nas extensive commercial relations with both tslands. Also the pecu- Mar strategic and commercial advantages of Hawaii to the United States do not ex- ist In the case of Cuba. The Washington writer thinks that as scon as tne actual severance with Spain is brought about, “some element in Cuba will desire attachment with this country, and if such element can once get into ecntrol its status would be similar to that of the Hawaiian government under Presi- dent Dole now seeking annexation.” And that close resemblance of the two situations “4s having an obvious effect upon the pend- ing annexation controversy.” Now, I want to point out the complete unlikeness in the two situations. First, the element which “got into control” in Hawaii was by nature, and not factitiously, the con- trolling element. It had always been the centrolling element in the government of Hawail, not only after that government became civilized and constitutional, but previously. t gave civilized and consti- tutional character to the native govern- ment, previously lawless and despotic. This naturally controlling element was com- posed of the whites born here, or settled here from abroad, who were under Ameri- can leadership, and composing practically an American colony. They necessarily guided the weak and ignorant native popu- rete in the most amicable mutual rela- tiens. Now, that American colony conducts the government of Hawaii. It has done so for more than five years, with only once a most futile and ineffective attempt to displace it. The tenure of power of this white cclony is strong and to all appear- ances permanent. It is that controlling white colony which seeks admission to the Union. It is an American community of your own people. How totally different is the case of Cuba. There you have a mongrel Spanish population, thoroughly alien in language, institutions and senti- ment to that of the United States. Here you have an American population, thor- oughly one with you in language, laws, sentiments and institutions, with all dif- ferent alien elements dependent upon and subordinate to the American leadership. As I have repeatedly pointed out, Hawaii is thoroughly American in its newspapers, its schools, its churches, its laws, its courts and its ruling language. All Americans com- ing here forget that they are not still in their own country, Conditions in Cuba and Hawaii. How absurd then to compare Hawaii, thus Americanized and assimilated, to Cuba, a Spanish country, hostile and alien in all respects to the people of the United States, While our Hawatiian climate, cool and dry, attracts and favors white settlers, the cli- inate of Cuba is too complctely tropical for the Anglo-Saxon to thrive there. Your Washington writer thinks it quits probable that if annexed the Cubans, like all Spanish-Americans, would have a pro- clivity to periodical rebellions against -the constituted government, and that the You Are To Blame ity.

Ft ts-plain that’ therinauguration of the colonial policy will mean a considerable army as well as-navy, WiZipossibly not in- frequent accasions for their use.” It was not to be expected that this writer, however intelligent, iid be familiar enough with the Hawalfan/people or coun- try to be aware how t su about the last people in the world to make any needless rebellion br to take “to the woods.” The least possible force or coer- cion is needed in governing them. There is no trace of savagery about them. They are a most kindly and contented people, easy of disposition, although they would resist outright oppression and abuse. Such treat- ment must be extreme to make them aban- don their homes on the pleasant shores, where they love to bathe and fish. Nor are there any mountain retreats more than a dozen miles inland. No trouble in govern- ing these islands will ever come from the native Hawaiians. Liliuokalani would never have revolted from the wholesome and friendly white control of her government had {t not been for the’ strain of blood in her of a more perverse kind. Commercial and Strategic Utility. Leaving the total dissimilarity of the two countries as to their adaptability to become American, a second point in which the com- Parison fails is in the relative strategic utility of the two islands to the United States. The possession of Cuba would af- ford you no special immunity in case of war. There are a score-of other neighbor- ing islands from which am enemy may de- liver attack upon your coasts. But the possession of Hawaii affords you absolute immunity except from England at Van- couver’s Island, simply because Hawaii uniquely stands solitary and alone at just the distance off your coast to make coal supply for an enemy impossible, at the same time that your naval force here flanks and cuts off all his supplies. Such conditions on the Atlantic are impossible on account of the numerous island ports, and any comparison of strategic utility between Cuba and Hawaii is absurd. A third point of comparison is the rela- tive commercial utility of the two islands. Hawaii stands alone, with no rival in the eastern center of the north Pacific, where verge. Her distances from the various Ports are such that it is a necessity for all steamers crossing the Pacific to replenish their coal bunkers at Honolulu. Cuba has no such advantage of commercial position, nor anything resembling it. This is par- ticularly the case in respect to the im- mense trailic which In a few y2ars Is going to pour through the opened gateway of the Nicaragua canal. Steamers bound from the Atlantic into the Pacific will have no more inducement to touch at Havana for cecal thah at Key ‘West or Jamaica, or a dozen other Atlantic ports. If Cuba were to disappear today into the ocean her ab- serce would affect only her local trade. But if Hawaii were thus to diszppcar the trans-Pacific commerce would be almost fatally inconvenienced. There would be no convenient port for coaling between Nicaragua and Asia. Hawaii stands ex- actly where it is wanted for that traffic. It has no rival. There is no substitute fer it. Nothing can take/jits place. Every steamer crossing the Pacific is compelted to call at Honolulu. That is the royal cen- ter of Pacific commerct. The power that owns Hawali becomes thereby the crowned mistress of the commerce of this ocean. Let America leave Hawaii unoccupied and her ports crowded with almost exclusively British steamers, and the’ result wiil be that English agents and merchants will come into pessession cf the commerce cf this ocean, and England will come into practical ownership of Hawaii, if not owner in name. How then can any one compare Cuba's comntercial importance to that of Hawail as concerns tne United States? Of course, Hawaii bears:no comparison to Cuba in capacity for producing sugar and other tropical staples.: But zn addi- tion of productive aféa is of 'ttle or no importance to the United ‘States. As to commerce, Cuba independent will give you by her propinquity no lack of, trade: with or without‘annexation. Return of the Nativyen. Three of the four nativg anti-annexation delegates to Washington returned here last week. They are vaporing loudly about how they succeeded in cotrecting the mistaken views of senators and completely: blocking the progress of annexation. Through their effective labors {t has come. to pass that the treaty is defeated, not forty-five sen- ators nov favoring it. At a public meeting of natives called to hear their report, they denounced Liliuokalani for lending them no countenance or favorable recognition. Mr. Carter, also, they think little of. They aim mainly at maintaining Hawalian indepen- dence. The restoration of monarchy is a secondary matter. If accomplished at all, it should be in the person of Kaiulani. They are very angry with Liliuokalani. Neither she nor her brother ever command- ed that reverential regard of the Hawaiians which they felt for their royal old chiefs. These anti-annexation leaders are now going out on a campaign ithrough the lands for the purpose of firing the native heart to maintain indepefidence, and on no account ever to take any part in or lend any support to the present government. Unfortunately, the-natives have become 30 small a minority of the population that there are few points where any consiuer- able crowd of them can be assembled. ‘ihe largest estimate of their audience here was two hundred. It was, however, rainy weather. A-greater damper to enthusiasin is the call of these delegates for more money for their expenses at Washington. ‘The natiyes do not “dig up” with any ardent zeal, although they will rend round to beg of us annexationist foreignors to help thelr cause. These gentlemen have had the glory of a mission abzoul, and of mingling with the great men of Washing- ton, if that ts true, and.then of landing from the steamer here in the ~tateliness of tall silk hats. They can now subsite upon their wonted mats, to the luxury of raw fish and ‘two-finger poi, They have reason to be grateful that none of them succumbed to the inclemency of an At- lantic winter We could wish to have sent you more presentable samples .of our worthy Hawallan natives; but such are mostly annexationists.

War was for- mally declared by Britain on March 22, 1854, 21nd on the 3ist it was proclaimed by the high sheriff of London from the steps gf the exchange. But these declara- tions were made merely to justify the step to the ple and to ask for their approval and help. Before that time active opera- tions had ccmmenced by the entry of the British and French fleets into the Darda- nelles, contrary to treaty, and the forced retreat of the Russian ficet to Sebastopol when the allies reached the Black sea. On February 8 the Russian minister was withdrawn from London, and the British and French ministers from St. Petersburg. Although such a step usually precedes wer, and is often regarded es equivalent to a declaration, it only signifies that all hope of successful diplomatic negotiation has been abandoned and that war is likely to ensue. It does not necessarily imply a state of war, such a state requiring some definite act of hostility. In the opium war of 181, the Italian wars of 1847 and 1849, the Anglo-Persian war of 1856, the wars between Austria and France in 1859, Prussia and Schleswig-Hol- stein in 1863, and Brazil and Uruguay in 1884, various hostile acts were committed before any declaration of war was made, a'though in some cases manifestoes were issued to neutral powers. In the Austro- Italian war of 1859, the Austro-Prussian war of 1866 and the Russo-Turkish war of 1877 the declaration and active operations were practically synonymous. In the last mentioned case, for example, the porte re- ceived a copy of the declaration on the evening of April 24, the very day on which 50,000 Russian troops crossed the Rou- manian frontier. The most notable instance in the present century of a formal declaration of war be- ing made before actual operations were be- gun was that of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870. In this case the declaration was almost forced, as the French, who were the aggressors, voted large war credits on July 15, and on the following day the French minister returned to Paris. A for- ral intimation of hostile intentions was then sent to Berlin, and laid before the parliament of the north German confedera- ticn on July 20. On November 12, 1885, Britain was hono ed by a declaration of war from Ki ‘Treebaw of Burmah, but it was a needless formality on the part of his dusky majesty, for the British troops were already on the way to his capital, and the only reply to his challenge was his deposition, which immediately ensue PUNISHMENTS IN BRITISH ARMY. Barbarous Tortures Once Inflicted on England's Soldters. From the Green Bag. From the earliest time soldiers—that is, those who join the ranks—have been treated as machines, made to do certain work, and failing in the slightest degree, subjected to the most barbarous punish- ment. One of the favorite methods of correc- tion was known as “picketing.” The vic- tim was suspended by the wrist to an iron ring let into a wall or a nigh post, and one of his heels was permitted to rest upon a sharpeued stick, just blunt enough not to break the skin. Thus the whole weight of the body was thrown either upon the bare heel or upon the wrist. The agony in <ith- er case was extreme. In a moment of demoniac cruelty some Officer invented a device called “the wood- en horse.” Rough, sharp boards were nail- ed together so that they would form a r:de imitation of a horse, the back forming a sharp ridge. On this a culprit was made to sit, sometimes for hours at a time, and to increase the pain, muskets and even heavy weights were fastened to the legs. During the peninsular war there was a punishment much used, called the “strap- pado.” It was Spanish in origin and brutal in its torture. The soldier was hoisted up by means of a rope fastened to his arms behind his back, and then suddenly drop- ped with a jerk, by which process his shoulder joints were sometimes dislocated. A form of punishment known as “bot- tling,” or “‘coid-burnirg,” was dreaded by the men more than any other. It consisted in tying the offender's hands, palm upper- most, so that they were held quite motion- less, and then allowing water to fall upon them, drop by drop, from a height of five feet. The pain caused in this way is said to have been +o intolerable that the strong- est men fainted away under its infliction. In the whole history of military punish- ments, flogging takes the first place. Its earliest form was known as “running the gantlet.” The offender was stripped naked to the waist and driven slowly through the ranks of his regiment, each man of whom had been armed with a stout rattan. In front of the prisoner marched a file of the guard, stepping slowly backward, and hold- ing their bayonets pointed to the cuprit’: breast, in order to make him take the reg- ulation step. ~ In 1700 an English army regulation made mention, for the first time, of the ‘‘cat.” ‘This terrible weapon of torture was made of nine leather thongs knotted near the end and fastened to a handle about twelve inches long. Every stroke brought blood, and when a man was sentenced to receive twelve lashes, it was equiyalent to nine times that number, and his back was one mass of bieedirg scars. For grave offenses, such as mutiny or de- sertion, the “cat” was used with such vio- lence that death often ensued. The 28th Foot was called for half a cen- tury the “flogging regiment,” and it well earned ‘ts distinction, if a sergeant, writ- ing in 1806 from Bremen, is to be believed. He says that in the regiment from ten to twenty men were flogged daily. Sir Charles Napier tells of a colonel of the 50th Regiment who ordered a man to be flogged because he did not stand steady on parade after a previous flogging. “My back is like a raw beef, sir, after the last fifty you gave me, and I can’t bear the weight of my pack.” “Take another fifty, then,” retorted the a nirs to the children. ce} YOURLAST CHANCE.
