IS MANILA BRITISH PltOPDKTYP

An Interesting Xottor

Reprinted from lh Singapore FreePresi Sept 8 1897

A correspondent write to thoFinancial News In counoctionwith tho continued trouble whichSpain is having with her Philippinepossessions and tho enormous ex ¬

pense which the fighting must bn toa country which is ill eqtiippod toface it I venture to suggest that anMicro islands belong hy right1 toGreat Britain Grea Britain nhouldtake them over and relievo Spain ofthe troublee in which tboir posses ¬

sion involves her It may seem astrange thing to say at this tirho ofday that a group of islands long regarded as inalienably tho propertyof Spain really belougs to GroatBritain but such in tho fact Ma-

nila¬

built about 1673 was capturedby tho English on October 6 1762Tho expedition which effected thecapture had beon fitted out at Madrsfl under Admiral Cornish audCol W Draper Maullo long agreat coutro of Spanish commercewas at that time an especially valu-able

¬

prize for numerous rich car ¬

goes lay iu tho bay aud tho arch-bishop

¬

of the place anxious to saveboth the islands and tho many car-goes

¬

engaged on behalf of his Im-

perial¬

master tho King of Spain toransom thoru for 1000000 MrLncbyin England iu the EighteenthCentury says of this transactionTho news of tho conquest of Maniln and the other Philippine Islandsdid not arrive until after the pre-liminaries

¬

had beon signed andthese valuable possessions wore inconsequence restored without anyequivalent When Manila was capturod the private property of theinhabitants was saved from plunderon the condition of a payment of aransom of 1000000 sterling onehalf of which was paid in money andthe other half in bills upon theSnauiah Troasury These bill theSpaniards afterwards refused tohonor aud tho English Governmentwai never ablo to obtain payment

Vol TIL pp 46 47 In reply toa suggestion that a claim by GreatBritain for the Philippine Islandsmight at somo future time bo rnadotho answer of Spain has invariablybeen that they were restored to herby England under tho Treaty ofParis signed iu 1763 but the read-er

¬

who will givo himself tho troubleto make n careful perusal of thatdocument will find that there is nostipulation of any kind in it with re-

gard¬

to the Philippine IslandsAnd ouco again to quote Mr Luckytho tome aequiesouce of the Gov-ernment

¬

in the Spanish refusal topay tho Manila ransom offondedbitterly the national pride Nowhero is a sum of 500000 which hasbeon owing for ouo hundred andthlrty four years to this country bySpain That sum at even 3 peroentsimple interest would double itselfovery thirty threo yoars and nowtherefore merely at simple interestamounts to 2600000 and at com-pound

¬

interest would bo immeasur-ably

¬

greater Tho time has nowcome in my opinion for Englandto politely but firmly ask for thopaymeut of tbis long standing debteither in cash or iu the shapo of thoislands thomselvos I venture tothink tho proposal is peculiarly op-

portune¬

becauso it would reliovoSpain of a source of continual finan ¬

cial embarassmont and at tho sametime add considerably to tho pros-perity

¬

of the islands by plaoingthem undor firm British rule

Financial News July 24th

A correspondent writes further onthe subject Having observed thotjirttoWtro it jW fcswU Wtfridttif

Into under the above title I bogmost unhesitatingly to answer Yes

I lake the following nxcerpt fromtho History of tho Philippine Isl-

ands¬

from tho Spanish by MartinezZuniga published nt Manila in 1803translated by John Mavor EqLoudon 181 1 Chap XVII p 239Iu this manner did the two nationscontinue thoir hostilities until Janu-ary

¬

30 176L On this day tho Archbishop died oppressed in mindby the miseries he saw the peoplesuffer and tho many inquietude hisumploymeut occasioned him at amoment of bucIi calamity His Ex-

cellency¬

wob guilty of onlyono matorial orror during this war and thatwas his engagement to pay 1000000 to tho English and doliver uptho islands to them It would haveboon better to have surrendered atdiscretion than with conditions sohard and out of his power to com ¬

ply with it must be rememberedhowever in his justification that bogrouted them with the bayriuit nthis breast and that the Spauiidswho were with him signal tho sameterms

Martinez do Zuniga was a Span-ish

¬

priest ami as suoh bad to de ¬

fend the proceedings of bin superiortherefore he adds that ho grantedthorn with tho bayonet at his broastbut this was tho usual militaryetiquette of tho timos I daresay acopy of his book may bo found inthe Library of tho British Museumand I can recommend its porusal tothoso interested in tho matter ThoSpaniards were fairly beaten andsigned the treaty referred to andthe vory foot of thoir paying half incash perforce confirms the transac-tion

¬

Tho Spanish Government Ibelieve refuses to entertain theclaim on the ground that thesupremo power at tho moment ofcapitulation was not vested in theArjbbishop but in the person ofSimon do An da who opposed thovictorious British army chiefly inthe provinco of Bulaaan But allstudents of Spanish history knowthat Simon de Anda was simply aninsurgent robel ohiuf acting in distiuct contradiction of tho consti-tuted

¬

authority ai vested iu thoper60U of tho Archbishop in the ab ¬

sence of the Govomor olect of SpainVide Zuniga Horo is a Spanish

recognition of our undoubted rightswritten bv one of tho priests thom-selvos

¬

The book is looked uponwith great disfavour by the priest-hood

¬

as it is an impartial aud clearstatoiient of tho fact not alwaysfavourable to tho Spauiards them ¬

selves anil moroover the native is

not supposed to study history or tokuow or otherwise uudorslaud thatthese islands over belonged to anyother nation than Spain and chieflyto the monastic orders of tholtomanOatholio Church which Bwarm in allcivilised parts of tho Archipelago

Many years ago I visited in com ¬

THE WAR AND HAWAII

It in difficult for any man acquaintad with tbo laws nud oustonis ofuntionu to atato where Hawaii standsto day Is this country neutral orhhTO we through our wise rulorsentered into an offensive and de ¬

fensive alliance with the UnitedStates

Wo have had somo experience inmatters attaining to internationalquastions but wo freely admit thatwe are unable to realize the logic orcommon Bonse of foreign consulswho publicly placard the declara-tion

¬

of neutrality of thoir rospootivogovernments for tho benefit of theirrespective subjects and who never-

theless¬

donate large amounts ofmoney for the entertaining of Amor- -ioan soldiers the landing of whomwill constitute a glaring violation ofour neutrality

Let ua acme to our sensus and lettho interests of Hawaii overshadowthe jingo sentiments of our importedAmericans Hawaii must stand asan independent country on her ownmerits The people who are tryingto mix those islands up with theinternational embroglio are notfriends of Hawaii and are not de ¬

serving of consideration

Should a Spanish cruiser arrivefrom tho Caroline Islands to-

morrow¬

it will be interesting to saothe displayers of American buutingscrambling for the removal of the

rod white and blue from theirbuildings Go slow gentlemen andremembtr that even if you call ita holy war in tho eyes of Heavenwar is unholy

THOSE HAMS

It is understood that the bravetroopers from California havo leftfor Manila without calling at Hono-

lulu¬

The insult is gross and if anyof the officers of tho National Guardof California return to thoir nativohomo via Hawaii a challenge tomortal combat may meet thorn

In tho meantime we havo noticeof the fact that mora than 60 hamshave beon cooked that ohiokons andothor dolicatessos aro freezing intho ice house and that the valiantCommittee of 100 have leis Honorstomatoes limes and oranges atgaloro for the boys who wontappear

The usuiH are cooked the leis aretwined and everything is paid forHow to dispose of it is the questionwhich arises in the miudB of thecontributors Wo suggest that thopoor starving kanakas bo consideredand that through the HawaiianHeliof Society a donation be givento those people to whom a slice ofham aud a ohunk of Woof will bo abonanza Tho geaorous gentlemenwho contributed to tho fund for thoboys in blue should be willing and

anxious to see their contributions

diverted into a channel whero theirmoney will do good and the peopleto whom they owe everything banofillod

Distribute tho hams and thobacons aud the beef and tho chicknua among those who suffor frontthe toiribln malady of an emptystomach and lot tho colonels majorsnud other patriots enjoy tho wear ¬

ing of loin and the drinking of12000 bottles of sodn water Thelast item will kill them quickthrough tho surprise to their sys ¬

mediate action by Congress on theresolution for tho annexation of theHawaiian Islands is most earnestlydesired by the administrationChairman Hilt of the House Com ¬

mittee on Foreign Affairs called aspecial meeting of the committeeto day to consider the annexationresolution introduced in the Housoby Representative Newlands Thomuter was discussed in all its details and it was found that tho reso-

lution would have an overwhelmingmajority iu the committee twelveof tbo members boing in favor of itand only three against it

Final action was not taken atto days meeting however for thoroaiou that it wbb thought thatCommodore Deweys report of thesituation at Manila might rendersome chanuo in the form of the reso-lution

¬

desirable Cbnirmau Hittgave notice that another meeting oftho oommitteo would bo held onTuesday next Final aotion on theresolution will then be takon nod itwill bs reported to the House Thepresent program is to have ittakon up iu the Houso and passadnot later than Thimday

Strong argumonts in favor of immediato action were advanced in theoommitteo this morning It was con-

tended¬

that the possession of thoislands was absolutely essential forwar purposes at this time and thatwhether Congress acted or not womight be compelled to uso Hono-lulu

¬

as a base of supplies TheueeoBsity of immediately roiuforcingCommodoro Dewey and of snndiughim enough troops to enablo him tohold the Philippine Islands andmaintain order among the SpauiardBand the natives was reforred to

It was pointed out that his reportwould probably indicate tho neces ¬

sity of immediately dispatching anexpedition to Mauila with troopsand supplies From San Frauciscoto Manila by the most direct routois about 7000 miles Aj any shipsthat may be sent out would bo ex ¬

pected to travel at the highest possibio rate of speed they cannot economize in the use of coal As all theships whioh will go will be heavilyloaded with ammunition and sup-plies

panse of the Paaifio whero coal oanbe obtained

Ono of the first vessels that willbe sent will be tbo cruiser Charles-ton

¬

With hor maximum supply ofcoal on board she would not bo ableto reach Manila even at a ten knotspeed Sbo will bo expected totravol much faster than thisand must necessarily replenish herbunkors at Honolulu Whateverdoubt may have existed as to thostatUB of coal in time of war thoaotion of all the powers since thopresent war broke out has clearlyestablished the principle that coali contraband of war and that nonoutral nation oan allow the vesselsof a belligerent power to take oncoal except for the purpose of pro ¬

ceeding to a homo port or to anotherneutral port

Such vessels of tbo United Statesas may coal at Honolulu will be des ¬

An Interesting Xottor

Reprinted from lh Singapore FreePresi Sept 8 1897

A correspondent write to thoFinancial News In counoctionwith tho continued trouble whichSpain is having with her Philippinepossessions and tho enormous ex ¬

pense which the fighting must bn toa country which is ill eqtiippod toface it I venture to suggest that anMicro islands belong hy right1 toGreat Britain Grea Britain nhouldtake them over and relievo Spain ofthe troublee in which tboir posses ¬

sion involves her It may seem astrange thing to say at this tirho ofday that a group of islands long regarded as inalienably tho propertyof Spain really belougs to GroatBritain but such in tho fact Ma-

nila¬

built about 1673 was capturedby tho English on October 6 1762Tho expedition which effected thecapture had beon fitted out at Madrsfl under Admiral Cornish audCol W Draper Maullo long agreat coutro of Spanish commercewas at that time an especially valu-able

¬

prize for numerous rich car ¬

goes lay iu tho bay aud tho arch-bishop

¬

of the place anxious to saveboth the islands and tho many car-goes

¬

engaged on behalf of his Im-

perial¬

master tho King of Spain toransom thoru for 1000000 MrLncbyin England iu the EighteenthCentury says of this transactionTho news of tho conquest of Maniln and the other Philippine Islandsdid not arrive until after the pre-liminaries

¬

had beon signed andthese valuable possessions wore inconsequence restored without anyequivalent When Manila was capturod the private property of theinhabitants was saved from plunderon the condition of a payment of aransom of 1000000 sterling onehalf of which was paid in money andthe other half in bills upon theSnauiah Troasury These bill theSpaniards afterwards refused tohonor aud tho English Governmentwai never ablo to obtain payment

Vol TIL pp 46 47 In reply toa suggestion that a claim by GreatBritain for the Philippine Islandsmight at somo future time bo rnadotho answer of Spain has invariablybeen that they were restored to herby England under tho Treaty ofParis signed iu 1763 but the read-er

¬

who will givo himself tho troubleto make n careful perusal of thatdocument will find that there is nostipulation of any kind in it with re-

gard¬

to the Philippine IslandsAnd ouco again to quote Mr Luckytho tome aequiesouce of the Gov-ernment

¬

in the Spanish refusal topay tho Manila ransom offondedbitterly the national pride Nowhero is a sum of 500000 which hasbeon owing for ouo hundred andthlrty four years to this country bySpain That sum at even 3 peroentsimple interest would double itselfovery thirty threo yoars and nowtherefore merely at simple interestamounts to 2600000 and at com-pound

¬

interest would bo immeasur-ably

¬

greater Tho time has nowcome in my opinion for Englandto politely but firmly ask for thopaymeut of tbis long standing debteither in cash or iu the shapo of thoislands thomselvos I venture tothink tho proposal is peculiarly op-

portune¬

becauso it would reliovoSpain of a source of continual finan ¬

cial embarassmont and at tho sametime add considerably to tho pros-perity

¬

of the islands by plaoingthem undor firm British rule

Financial News July 24th

A correspondent writes further onthe subject Having observed thotjirttoWtro it jW fcswU Wtfridttif

Into under the above title I bogmost unhesitatingly to answer Yes

I lake the following nxcerpt fromtho History of tho Philippine Isl-

ands¬

from tho Spanish by MartinezZuniga published nt Manila in 1803translated by John Mavor EqLoudon 181 1 Chap XVII p 239Iu this manner did the two nationscontinue thoir hostilities until Janu-ary

¬

30 176L On this day tho Archbishop died oppressed in mindby the miseries he saw the peoplesuffer and tho many inquietude hisumploymeut occasioned him at amoment of bucIi calamity His Ex-

cellency¬

wob guilty of onlyono matorial orror during this war and thatwas his engagement to pay 1000000 to tho English and doliver uptho islands to them It would haveboon better to have surrendered atdiscretion than with conditions sohard and out of his power to com ¬

ply with it must be rememberedhowever in his justification that bogrouted them with the bayriuit nthis breast and that the Spauiidswho were with him signal tho sameterms

Martinez do Zuniga was a Span-ish

¬

priest ami as suoh bad to de ¬

fend the proceedings of bin superiortherefore he adds that ho grantedthorn with tho bayonet at his broastbut this was tho usual militaryetiquette of tho timos I daresay acopy of his book may bo found inthe Library of tho British Museumand I can recommend its porusal tothoso interested in tho matter ThoSpaniards were fairly beaten andsigned the treaty referred to andthe vory foot of thoir paying half incash perforce confirms the transac-tion

¬

Tho Spanish Government Ibelieve refuses to entertain theclaim on the ground that thesupremo power at tho moment ofcapitulation was not vested in theArjbbishop but in the person ofSimon do An da who opposed thovictorious British army chiefly inthe provinco of Bulaaan But allstudents of Spanish history knowthat Simon de Anda was simply aninsurgent robel ohiuf acting in distiuct contradiction of tho consti-tuted

¬

authority ai vested iu thoper60U of tho Archbishop in the ab ¬

sence of the Govomor olect of SpainVide Zuniga Horo is a Spanish

recognition of our undoubted rightswritten bv one of tho priests thom-selvos

¬

The book is looked uponwith great disfavour by the priest-hood

¬

as it is an impartial aud clearstatoiient of tho fact not alwaysfavourable to tho Spauiards them ¬

selves anil moroover the native is

not supposed to study history or tokuow or otherwise uudorslaud thatthese islands over belonged to anyother nation than Spain and chieflyto the monastic orders of tholtomanOatholio Church which Bwarm in allcivilised parts of tho Archipelago

Many years ago I visited in com ¬

pany of a resident Spauiard tho siteof one of tho English camps in thoProviuco of Bulooun where the romaius of the earthworks am to bosoeu to this day He iu formed momany Euglish coins of that datehave been found there by tho natives1 referred him to tho passage I havoquoted above and ho recognised thefact and added Our Governmentnever pays its debts Ho predictedtho loss of Cuba aud tho PhilippiuoIslands and gave it as his opinionthat our colonial policy was the onlycorrect and possible ono of thowhole world I always understoodtho above account of Zunigas to botho correct one Tho expeditioufittod out undor tho auspicoB ofAdmiral Cornish nnd Colonel WDraper as per your former corre-

THE WAR AND HAWAII

It in difficult for any man acquaintad with tbo laws nud oustonis ofuntionu to atato where Hawaii standsto day Is this country neutral orhhTO we through our wise rulorsentered into an offensive and de ¬

fensive alliance with the UnitedStates

Wo have had somo experience inmatters attaining to internationalquastions but wo freely admit thatwe are unable to realize the logic orcommon Bonse of foreign consulswho publicly placard the declara-tion

¬

of neutrality of thoir rospootivogovernments for tho benefit of theirrespective subjects and who never-

theless¬

donate large amounts ofmoney for the entertaining of Amor- -ioan soldiers the landing of whomwill constitute a glaring violation ofour neutrality

Let ua acme to our sensus and lettho interests of Hawaii overshadowthe jingo sentiments of our importedAmericans Hawaii must stand asan independent country on her ownmerits The people who are tryingto mix those islands up with theinternational embroglio are notfriends of Hawaii and are not de ¬

serving of consideration

Should a Spanish cruiser arrivefrom tho Caroline Islands to-

morrow¬

it will be interesting to saothe displayers of American buutingscrambling for the removal of the

rod white and blue from theirbuildings Go slow gentlemen andremembtr that even if you call ita holy war in tho eyes of Heavenwar is unholy

THOSE HAMS

It is understood that the bravetroopers from California havo leftfor Manila without calling at Hono-

lulu¬

The insult is gross and if anyof the officers of tho National Guardof California return to thoir nativohomo via Hawaii a challenge tomortal combat may meet thorn

In tho meantime we havo noticeof the fact that mora than 60 hamshave beon cooked that ohiokons andothor dolicatessos aro freezing intho ice house and that the valiantCommittee of 100 have leis Honorstomatoes limes and oranges atgaloro for the boys who wontappear

The usuiH are cooked the leis aretwined and everything is paid forHow to dispose of it is the questionwhich arises in the miudB of thecontributors Wo suggest that thopoor starving kanakas bo consideredand that through the HawaiianHeliof Society a donation be givento those people to whom a slice ofham aud a ohunk of Woof will bo abonanza Tho geaorous gentlemenwho contributed to tho fund for thoboys in blue should be willing and

anxious to see their contributions

diverted into a channel whero theirmoney will do good and the peopleto whom they owe everything banofillod

Distribute tho hams and thobacons aud the beef and tho chicknua among those who suffor frontthe toiribln malady of an emptystomach and lot tho colonels majorsnud other patriots enjoy tho wear ¬

ing of loin and the drinking of12000 bottles of sodn water Thelast item will kill them quickthrough tho surprise to their sys ¬

The Installment Plan

An English paper for instancerecords a peculiar decision in thosuit of a usurer against a poor wo-

man

¬

Tho man had lout tho womanmoney in such a way that it was tobo paid in installments and withmonthly usurious interest Thewoman was unable to pay thoamount duet

Tho judgo satisfied himself thattho woman was honest and honor--

ablo and that what she had alroadypaid in installments would cover theoriginal loau aud a reasonable in-

terest¬

Will you accept 5 in dischargeasked tho judgo of the plaintiffyou will then have had 10 percent

on the loanThe plaintiff would accept nothing

loss than the full amount to whichtho law outitled him

Then said the judgo althoughI can not invalidate tho agreementI can make an order which I thinkwill fit tho oase I give judgmentfor the full amount to bo paid atthe rate of sixpence a month

This was the installment systemwith a voueeauce for at this rateof payment the ueuror would be 75years in gotting his money YouthsCompanion
