One article provides that the United States and Spain shall appoint an interna tional cc.nirni•-ion of seven experts, each •country to J.;,;;:-. c;e of i.j citizens, on? •Briton and one Frenchman with a German ■to hr the president. This commission is to determine the re sponsibility for the Maine disaster. If Spain is respcrsible she is to send a war .ship t > salute the American flag at New York.

"The Philippines reall? are not of much lu iictii to Spain as the commerce of those island •• was controlled by England and •Germany, and Spain’s ’business with the islands was comparatively light, how light you may judge from the fact that there was only cnc steamer a month between Spain an! Manila. These islands were r all) a burden and I do not envy the Un.'td States far he acquisition of them. "Os course we did a large business with Cuba but of late years there has been so much trouble with that island that the ex penses ate up the revenues and 1 think we are well rid of it also. "Americans living in Spain were in no more danger than Spaniards in the United Stales and I know of two American fam ilies which resided in Barcelona during tite entire war and suffered no inconveni ence.

WHAT HAWAII I MOST NEEDS. i Men Who Have Some Lit tle Capital for Business Most Desired. ________ By Associated Pres*. New York, Dec. 2. —Robert W. Shingle, of Honolulu, who was the Hawaiian, commlsicmer to the Omaha exposition, and who was also s nt here by his government to promote travel to the islands, is in the city. Concerning emigration to Ha waii Mr. Shingle said in an interview: “The affairs of the Hawaiian islands have been so prominently discussed in this country recently that a certain in terest has been aroused in these new pos , sessions. Then ' too. the United States soldiers on their way to Manila were royally entertained in Honolulu and many of them wrote back to their relatives and friends here about their reception. These causes have tended to draw many persons from the United States to Hawaii. Alany of them had an entirely false view of ths islands. They thought that it would be easy to earn a livelihood there directly upon landing. Some went ashore with al most no money and soon became a charge on the Hawaiian?. A few were sent back to their hemes with money raised by subscription. Os course this clelss is not desired. “What is wanted is men who have some little capital and experience, who know what business they want to engage in and have some aptitude for it. Sugar is now the chief product of the islands, but its cultivation requires capital. This is also true of rice. I believe that coffee is becoming the staple of the islands and it can be cultivated by persons who start in with only a few thousand dollars. Pine- | apples, bananas and other fruits also re- I quire only a small capital. The govern-, ment makes liberal inducements to set tiers. It exempts them from taxation for > five years and offers them public lands I on excellent terms. Five or eight acres I may be had for nothing; larger areas can ' be bought from $5 to 510 per acre. It is : possible, to lease large plots for three • years and then to buy them at the original , figure, provided that 25 per cent, has been developed." "THE COLONEL" DEAD. By Associated Press.
