ROCKVILLE, August 2, 186. The August non-jury term of the circ :it court for this county commenced here yes- terday, Judge James B. Henderson on the bench. The time of the first day's sessior Was consumed in calling over the docket and other business connected therewith. James Hallman is reported to have made an attack on a number of white boys ai Dickerson Station, this county, Saturday night, and in the melee which followed was struck on the head by Arthur Jones, one of the party, with a base ball bat, fracturing his skull and breaking his jawbone. It is claimed that Jones acted in self-defense, as Hallman, under the influence of liquor, had cursed and threatened the crowd, drawing @ revolver. He now lies in a dangerous condition and has not recovered conscious- ness. No arrests are reported. Mr. H. F. Reid, chief of the highway di- vision of the Maryland geological survey, end A. M. Johnson, a road expert, visited this place Saturday, by invitation, and thoroughly inspected the plans for the new turnpike between Rockville and the Dis- trict line near Tenleytown. They predicted that if the work is done in accordance with the plans and specifications the road, when completed, will be one of the finest and most substantial in the country. During a severe electrical storm which visited this section of the county Sunday afternoon several casualties occurred. At Emory Grove, a colored camp-meeting ground, about six miles from this place, two horses were killed by lightning and a number of persons were stunned. In the €astern section of Rockville the lightning struck a house occupied by a colored wo- man and family, and did some damage to the building, besides kil'ing a dog. Z Death of Jules Broche. Jules Broche, a native of France, who has lived in this country for many years, died at his home, No. 327 13th street north- west, about 10 o'clock last night. He had been sick only a few hours. Acting Coroner Glazebrook took charge of the body. To- day Dr. Ruffin made an autopsy and found that death resulted from brain trouble. ‘The deceased was taken sick with cramps about noon, and a physician was sum: smoned. For several hours, until death re- ted, the patient suffered intense pain. The hody was removed to Undertaker Lee's establishment, where the autopsy Was performed. Deceased leaves a widow and five small children. OUT IN HAWAII | Honolulu Papers Enthusiastic Over Annexation of the Islands. INTERVIEWS WITH PROMINENT PEOPLE Views of President Dole and Others on the Subject. OMMERCIAL BEARING peli eb eee Honolulu papers which arrived by the latest mail are full of matter relating to annexation, and express great satisfaction that it has finally been accomplished. In the Star is a series of interviews with prominent persons on the subject, from which the following extracts are made: President Dole. President Dole expresses his views in the form of answers and questions. { “What is your view with regard to the | Hawaiians?” “I think the status will go on just as it is now until Congress has had ; time to fix it permanently. I feel confident | that all Hawaiians who are voters now will continue to be so.” “What are your views as to the status under legi: ‘ion by Congress?” “I think that the lation by Congress will be slow. for some time. tion about r “As to W tters hopes that the land policy will not be in- Congress will most probably pass a supplementary act, which will al- low our land system to go on. This, it is probable from my knowledge of affa! will be carried out. Senator Morgan said when he was here that the system we have is better for us than the American system, and Morgan is one of our best friends. “Why did you initiate or help forward e policy which has reached this result?” } This policy of annexation became the con- ction of the members of the government, | and of community, r of circum G yOu e your views as to the re- news of annexation consum- legi The present system will be kept up There will be some hesita- 1 changes.” “I have strong “The mates the efforts and the main policy of the present government from the time when it was initiated as ‘provisional,’ through the time when it was recognized by the great states of the earth, to the time when it has been received into the bosom of the greatest republic and one of the most powerful states that the world has ever known.” Minister Sewall. American Minister Sewall, now our fel- low citizen, said: Annexation is the realization of a hope I have constantly cherished ever since I first visited these islands ten years ago, a hope strengthened by every succeeding visit, which led me finally to seek the diplomatic post from which I shall now retire. It was not until after a full avowal to the Pr dent of my belief that annexation was the only course for the United States to pur- ste, in justice to itself and to all classes of the’ people of these islands, that I recetved the appointment, and naturally I am grati- fied to be here when this policy for which the President has so splendidly contended has b2en brought to a triumphant conclu- sion. Consul General Haywood. Consul General Haywood says: “I am naturally gratified that annexation has at last been accomplished. It 1s what I came out here to see done and I am glad that I have not had to go home disappointed. The United States has given to the people of these islands what I consider to be the greatest gift they could receive—American citizenship—whicn carries with {t stable government and protection from the world. It only remains with the people here to make the most of this gift. This can only be done by all forgetting past animosities and work for the public good. You will then make of these beautiful islands not merely the paradise of the Pacific, but the paradise of the world.”” Dr. McGrew. Dr. J. S. McGrew, the “father of annex- ation,” says: “I can almost say with Simeon, ‘Lord, now let thy servant depart in peace,’ only I want to remain a while and enjoy that which friends and neigh- bors, and among these friends and neigh- bors some of the aHwaiian kings, said I would never live to see. Many of thos? who so expressed themselves are with us today, and rejoicing as much as I do.” . George W. Smith. George W. Smith on being asked to give his views with regard to the commercial tearing of annexation, said: “We may exp2ct some increase in com- petition, but such increase will not be per- manent unless established on a good basis and with abundant capital. We are so far from the base of supplies that it necessi- tates carrying large stocks of merchandise. New comers will find it especially difficult to get on on account of the credit system in vogue. I think the system 1s a ‘pernic- ious One, but it will take some Years be- fore it can be changed, and men who are unaccustomed to trading on such lines will find themseives terribly hampered by it. “As to the fear expressed by some mer- chants that the new blood will drive us to the wall, I take no stock in it, Our mer- chants, from my experience of them, are «#s keen and capable as any in the world. If they cannot stand the fresh competition they ought to go to the wall. They have everything in their favor, and the new comers will have a hard row to hoe. “Under the government of the United States new ports will be opened on the other is:ands undoubtedly, and deep water ships will call there. But the opening up of large plantations on Oahu will give us plenty to do in Honolulu, and besides trade elsewhere means trade here. We can be generous enough to let others have all they cau get. “I look to a large increase tn business when the Nicaragua canal is cut. Hono- lulu’s good days are to come, really, though we have had good days in the past. I wel- come annexation without fear for the polit- ical and commercial future of the islands.”” Col. W. F. Allen. Col. W. F. Allen, when interviewed, said: “My feeling for some years past has been this. With our increased political import- ance and the very large increase in our commercial business the demand for a much stronger government than any which we have had was imperative. This is what led me to become’ the strong and firm an- nexationist that I have beef. As we all know a weak government invites opposi- tion and revolution. “J have lived in this country for forty- eight years, and my whole interests are centered here. I admire the native race and many of them are my good and inti- mate friends. Under the strong govern- ment of the United States I feel that the Hawaiians will be properly protected. “I am_convinced that annexation to the United States is for the benefit of the na- CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

Cooke. Cc. M. Cooke, when met in his office this afternoon, said: “My view is that one of the great benefits of annexation to the islands will be the stable government for the future, thereby advancing the business enterprises that have already been established, and giving assurance to foreign capital to start many cther enterprises. When such things are established they are bound to bring pros- perity to the community as a whole. “While I believe the first effects will be perhaps in the nature of booming up the country suddenly, yet I believe the growth will be steady in the future and the whole commercial interests of the country will be advanced far more than we now can anticipate. Therefore. I think annexation is for the best interests of every one upon the islands, native and foreign.” Judge Wilcox. Being asked what the feeling was among the Hawaiians he had met, Judge Wilcox said: “Right here in Honolulu there fs a good deal of opposition among a certain class, and that class not the best. These people express their views in some of the native daily papers and say that the United States will take away their lands; that they will impress them as soldiers to go to Manila, and that they will be treated with contumely, be called niggers, and have no proper rights. These men belong to the class of cheap politicians, who hoped to get office under a restoration of the monarchy. They adopted exactly the same tactics when the republic was first established but Gropped them because they found their predictions did not come true. “But I do find that the native land own- ers in the outer districts, the men who work with their hands and cultivate their own little farms, or others who work upon plantations, and are getting regular wages, don’t care very much whether Queen Liliuo- kalani or President Dole, or President Mc- Kinley is at the head of affairs. So long as their taxes are not too heavy, so long as they can go about their business unmolest- ed and can earn a living they are content. It is the loafers, the non-workers, who make any antagonistic talk. “Of course there is some sentimental feeling, and I do not blame them, nor can any one else blame them. They feel like a man moving into a new and more modern house. He has more room, he has more comforts, but at first he {is a little lost in his surroundings. But during the period of the republic they have gradually become More and more satisfied with the change, and that the new form of government is better than the old. They see that the taxes are spent better for the people. Hun- dreds of Hawaiians have told me this. They appreciate the improvements in roads and thé opportunity to acquire lands. “A day or two ago I met an old Hawaiian from the outer districts. He asked me if the news was true that annexation had come at last. I replied ‘Yes. What do you think of it?’ He replied: ‘It has come and we will have to accept it. America is not going to take our land away from us, is she? She is not going to drive us away?” I said, ‘Certainly not.’ Then he said, ‘We are'ali right; all we have to do is to stop on our land and cultivate it. We used to pay taxes to our Alii, whom we didn’t see from year’s end to year’s end, and it does not matter to whom we pay our taxes. I have-found that when we Hawaiians have been in trouble that our haole friends have helped us out. I am satisfied they will not abandon us now.’ “When the Hawaiians thoroughly under- stand that their property and other rights ere protected and respected, they will ac- cept the situation and fall in line and be- come thoroughly good citizens of whom Uncle Sam will be proud.”” ——-— —+e+ Workman Seriously Injured. A colored laborer, named Edward Jack- son, while at work in the big sewer near 22d and B streets northwest this morning, was struck by one of the iron buckets used on the work and was so seriously injured that he was removed to the Emergency Hospital. The doctors at the institution found that he had sustained a broken shoulder, his head had been cut and his body badly bruised. While his injuries are serious, it is thought he will recover.

From the New York Herald. By making the offer of @ joint commission President McKinley has shown lack of firmness and determination. He has made too great a concession to Spain, and one which the country carinot approve. As Senator Hanna well says, “Although there may be a sentiment against keeping the Philippines, there is a bigger sentiment against giving them back to Spain.” The truth of this is attested by the ringing views voiced by papers in all parts of the country against their return. A protectorate would keep them in the hands of the United States and Spain. It would put a quietus on the covetous de- signs of European powers and thereby avoid all danger of foreign complications and a European war. Jt would assure good government for the islands and thereby avert Malayan anarchy. Finally, it would secure to the United States the full fruits of Dewey's splendid victory and of the war. By all means the United States should maintain a strong hold ‘on the Philippines, and this end cannot be better attained than by a joint protectorate of Spain and the United States. The Exact Philippine Sitaation.—~ From the Philadelphia Press, While Spain might yield a coaling port, it would naturally object to giving up Ma- nilla. The United States cannot surrender its conquest and accept Spain’s disposi- tion of the coaling station question. The natural compromise is for wach to keep what they have, pending peace, and de- cide the future of the islands by diplomacy. . This seems to be the conclusion reached on piecing together the different reports. The United States is about to take Manila, pending peace, and will probably hold it. Where the flag goes up it must not come down. Spain, pending negotiations, makes ee onmal a as to the Philippines, inderstands t di A United States, he isposition of the ‘t was probably here that. the original terms were modified at M.

No Partnership With Spain. From the New York Jcurnal. What to do with the Philippines is a) problem, but to give them back to Spain is @ preposterous solution. Either we should hold the islands as we I hold Porto Rico, or throw our protec- tion over such a government as the natives choose to organize. But no recognition of our beaten and bloody-minded enemy in;the premises. No partnership with Spain in governing the people whom she has plundered and mis- used through centuries. It Mast! Be Done. From the New York THbune! ‘The view which We bélleve will be com- mended to the sober Judgment of the world is that s2t forth bythe London Times. That is, that the United Statés shall take Porto Rico absolutely, afd sHall undertake the burden of giving to’Cuta and the Philip- Pines a strong, honest government. How the latter task is to‘be effectsd does not yet appear, but it may He entered upon with no illusions and with no pretenses. There is no reason’ to expect to be an easy task in either case. But it\must be done, and, as the Times says, for’us to do it will be for the good of the world at. large. From the Boston Globe. It may not be easy to decide what to do with th: Philippines, but the United States knows what not to do with them. They must not be given over unconditionally to the tender mercies of Spain. The Philippines Not Wanted. From the Philadelphia Record. When speaking of the Philippines most people have in mind only M: and the comparatively emajl zon3 of semi-civiliza- tion surrounding the city. A few, perhaps, have heard of Iloilo, the port of the Island of Panay; but the rest of the archipelago, which includes nearly 2,000 islands, large and small, is practically terra incognita even to the well informed. To become the sponsors and protectors of the polished mestizos of Manila and of the half-Chris- zone of civilization would alone involve us in an it in go" wi we mifht well shun; but the semi-barbarous in- habitants of the coasts of the more south- erly islands of the group are fanatic Mos- lems, who have a predilection for piracy, and who hate their Christian brethren of the north as fiercely as the Turks hate the Armenians. There is certainly nothing to attract us to the task of ruling some eight millions of semi-barbarians, who speak a score of different tongu2s and who live on anything from boiled rice to roasted grass- hoppers. Let Us Take the Philippines in Their Entirety. From the Boston Traveler. There is every reason for the United States to insure protection and liberty to the people of the Philippines. The sam> dictates of humanity which enlisted our aid for Cuba operate with respect to the Phil- ippines. Spain bas been a terrible oppr2ss- or, and the people of the islands, while re- volting against tyranny, have manifested an ability and ccurage which justifies their claim for liberty. The triumph of Dewey demands substantial recognition by our goy- ernment, and in no better way can it be given than by insuring freedom to an op- pressed people. Ther> is no selfishness in this. If we tak2 the Philippines from Spain it will not be for ourselves, but for the peo- ple of the islands, and Spain in their loss will be but paying in part the d2bt she owes for the horrors and losses of a war which she provoked. Let us take the Philippines in their en- tirety in the name of liberty. Must Retain Manila. From the Chicago Evening Post. All talk of merely retaining a coaling station in the Philippines when we already possess Manila Bay outrages the decision of the American people to seize what the opportunity of the century has thrown in our laps. A coaling station means little or nothing to commerce. It Is simply a wise precaution in anti Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands would not have been worth a fig's purchase in this war if Spain had held Honolulu. It is the possession of Honolulu that gives commer- cial importance and nayal value to our ac- quisition of the Hawaiian Islands. It will be a crime against the present and future commerce of the United States in the Pacific if, having acquired Manila by force of arms, w2 surrender it and al! its advantiges—equal to those of Hong-Kong— for that vague thing, “a coaling station in the Philippines.” What Must Not Be Done. From the Providence Journal, What to do with the Philippines may be a question, but there is no question that one thing which must not be done with them is to leave them to the tender mercies of Spain. An Imperative Requirement. From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. The Philippine question is a mere incident of the war, unforeseen when we entered upon hostilities, and to be settled by con- siderations entirely different from those which prevail in dealing with the West In- dian Islands. In the settlement of this in- cidental question we may be prompted to deal generously with an utterly broken foe, but we are imperatively required to be just to ourselves and to the millions of people whose future {s involved in the issue. Should Not Be Restored to Spain. From the Syracuse Standard. Although the American government de- fers a Gecision touching the Philippine Is- lands, tt has not resolved on returning them to Spain. The suggestion of their restoration has provoked remonstrances at licme and abroad against what is treated a3 a proposal to avcid responsibility. It is sald by one of the London newspapers that the withdrawal of Americau authority may lead to a general war, in which America will ultimately be drawn, which is sub- sientially what this paper said Friday morning. No Inch of Soil Should Be Returned . to Spanish Rule. From the Scranton Tribune. It is clear from the logic of events through which can be perceived with plain- ness the guiding hand of Providence that no inch of soil anywhere wrested by force of American arms from Spanish rule will ever be turned over by an American ad- ministration to the hands of a govern- ment less fitted than our own for con- ferring upon the people within its juris- diction the blessings of liberty, security of perscn and property, freedom of con- science and equality before the law. To think otherwise would be to insult the tra- Gitions of American history and do vio- lence to the spirit of our existerce as a nation. The Philippines Should Be Retained. From the St. Jogeph (Mo.) Herald. Therefore if the war lasts one year be- fore peace is proclaimed, Spain will have an indemnity claim of a half-billion dollars against her. As Spain can never pay such an indemnity, or even half of it should the war conclude before the end of the year, in cash, 80 we must look to Spanish territory for the government stands committed not retain that island. Porto Rico will hard- pay the indemnity, despite ita fruitful- ness and wealth of resource. Unless the fore modern 5. will be retained. But will be the Deople. expression from his countrymen and he will be guided by that. Too Liberal. © From the Leavenworth Times. If it is true, as reported, that President McKinley is willing to give up the Philip- pines to Spain, excepting only a coaiing Station on the islands, he is making terms more liberal than could be expected and more liberal Usan could pe found in the precedents of histary. We think the United States is in duty bound to keep the Philip- pines. Keep the Philippines. From the Kansas City Star. The Philippines belong to the United States by all of the rules and precedents of warfare. They are necessary to the plan which contemplates a wider and more amn- bitious field of usefulness for the United States. They can never again be manacled by Spain, and the nation to possess them is that into whose hands they have fallen by a series of events which, though uncxpect- ed, seem to point to a result which this country must accept. Has Not Kept Faith With Cuba. From the Denver Times. The Times. in common with + can people generally, has enti the probity of the administrati tions. But even it may be ii ning and selfish intere: The pr Way to avoid the possibility of any such thing is to proceed right from the be ning. Up to this stage of the proceedings ihe government has not kept faith with the insurgents in Cuba. It should lose no time in rectifying the error. ‘oper There Can Be No Turning Back.

In short, the whole subject is one to be gone over carefully with thorough information on ail phases of it before committing the United States to final action upon it. There can be no reasonable criticism if the declaration of the United States in relation to it has not been as definite and conclusive as in rela- tion to Cuba and Porto Rico. Commands the Respect of the Entire World. From the Utica Press. It is altogether probable that the terms finally agreed upon by President McKinley and M. Cambon wil] be the terms of the final peace treaty. There may be some de- lays of diplomacy, but the fact that the war is being carried right along will serve to hasten negotiations for its finish. The present week is quite likely to see the defi- nite settlement of the conditions. The at- Utude of the United States in this whole matter is such as to command the respect of the entire world. Should Not Be Turned Over to Aguin- aldo. From the Worcester Spy. There are several reasons why the Philip- pines should not be consigned to the tender mercies of Aguinaido. He would be a Tegai- looking president enough in his gold collar and blowing his gold whistle, but the man who has once abandoned his couniry and his people, in consideration of $80,000, more or less, in hand, received from the common enemy, is not exactly the man to be in- trusted with the destinies of a young re- public established by the energy, the money and the blood of the United States. Should Not Shirk the Respo From the Chicago News. We do not need to annex the Philippines, but there is much merit in the assertion that have no right to shirk the respon- sibility we are under to do for the op- pressed Philippinos what we have under- taken to do for the persecuted Cubans. bility. The President’s Terms. From the Worcester Spy. The President has made a good beginning. There is cause for general rejoicing that no symptoms of the imperialist mania have de- veloped in the cabinet or the White House. There is only strong Americanism. No Partnership With Spain. From the Louisyille Courler-Journal. The President is said to be desirous of hearing from the people on this question. ‘se can assure him of one thing at least. the people want nothing like a United States protectorate over the Philippines. This country will have enough on its hands without trying to insure those islands a good government under Spanish sovereign- ty. We are a strong power, but we are not omnipotent, and nothing short of omnipo- tence could assure anybody good govern- ment under Spanish sovereignty. Besides, that is not our way of doing things. We do not govern vicariously. We know well enough that the only way to have a thing done as we would have it done is to do it ourselves.
