Good Reasons for Letting Ha
vana Wait.
Washington, June 3.—The de
cision of the administration to
s»ntl a military expedition to
Puerto Rico to undertake the re
duction oi Havana is attributed
largely to the influence of Secreta
ry <d State Day. In Day the Presi
dent found an able advocate of his
vi ws ihat Puerto Rica should be
taken as soon as possible, and
cj-taiuly before the Cuban
invasion should begin. Secretary
Alger and the principle advisers
of the President were not in favor
of Puerto Rico, but the President
was early impressed with the teas
sibility and desirability of secur
ing 'he island. Gen. Miles was
the principal advocate of this pro
ject and he was joined by day who
added diplomatic reasons to those
advanced by the military estabs
lishment why the capture of San
Juan was more necessary just now
than the capture of Havana.

According to a statement today
the Secretary of State inane an
earnest plea at the last Cabinet
meeting tor indorsement of the
Puerto campaign. It is said that
he spoke for an hour, during which
time the interest of the Piesident
and Ins colleagues did net Hag.
'1 he gist of Day’s argument was
that the capture of Havana would
be followed by intervention of Eu
ropean Powers or peace proposals
by Spa n.
He maintained that this virtual
' nmug of the w ar might come at

I fallen, thus leaving Puerto Rico
still in Sqinish poss-gsion. It is
understood that Day maintained
th#t the capture of Puerto Rico
I should come before the su juga

| United States with meager means
of compelling Spain to pay in
demnity. or to insure payment for
the cost of the war.
The advocates of the Puertcri

Secretary of State deserves much
of the credit. Whether he har
knowledge that Spain would su
for peace when Havana fell is not

HAWAII OCR ALLY.
United States Cruiser Charles
ton Allowed To Coal
•
Washington, June 3. —The nav
al ofl’ciale now calculate that
Hawaii has become an ally of the
United States government in tl
present war with Spam and that
this government is responsible for
the protection of the Hawaiian

f
or us. ♦
According to the calculations
;of the navy department, the Uni
ted States cruiser Charleston ariv
td at Honolulu last Saturday.
She has probably cemyleted the
taking aboard of a lull supply i 1
coal and is now again on her way
westward, bousd ’ for the Pbili

The coal was accumulated at
Honolulu by United States Consu
General Ray Wood and in allowing
the Charleston to take on a supply
