The chief city of the Hawaiian Islands is about to become an American city. While the rights of the natives will be thoroughly respected and guarded at every point, the city in its external as pool will find it much to its advantage to put itself on the plane with American cities. It lies in the lines of new routes of travel and may easily be made as at tractive a place of resort as can be found along the shores of the Mediterranean. Whatever nature can do has been done for Honolulu, Its climate in a« nearly perfect as can Im found on the globe, The sea bie.*ze impart» to the afternoon and evening a sense of comfort rarely found in the tropics, A« it stands now in its somewhat primitive condition, it is h place that visitors speak of |an the scene of the liappieMt days in their lives. Being now on the route from San I* rancis- co to Manila.it w ill he expected to present all the elements of civilization that are round in European and American cities. Broad, well lighted Streets for business, boulevards for pleasure driving, plazas for children Io romp in, public gardens for general resort, will prove profitable investments. It is not every city that nature has endowed hm it has this island in the Pacific, and it now only remains for human enterprise to complete what nature has designed. it is a iiuittvd by all parties that the construed« n of the Nicaragua canal will lie an inevitable result of the acquisi tion of (he Philippine island«. Ibis American canal will so shorten the route from the Eastern Atlantic that the trade ami travel that now goes east through the Suez <*annI will come west through the Nicaragua canal. It is safe to say that no steamer pastiing the Nicaragua canal w dl fail to take 111 the Hawaiian islands. \ cablegram from Pekin under the date of A ugust 8, says that the con struction of the Nicaragua canal is con- ■Idered a necessity by all the Anglo-Sax ons in China. This means that the shortened highway of commerce will concentrate the trade of the far E tat in- to American hands I'he C oin mission that !» now in this city, invested with authority to form a plan oi government for the ndandft, will aim to bring the local government into harmony with the \merman institutions with as little friction as ¡»ossible with the habits and customs of the people. The commission will insist, however, up on a plan that will place the islands in line witli other American commuiiitie». It will l»e for the interest* of property holders in Honolulu to fall in with the I new order of tilings. — Examiner The president of the Cuban pioviftion- al government hus written President McKinley a long letter, expressing thanks to ami confidence in the United States, but the most important para graph in the letter is that which out line» the intention« of the insurgent».

Now, therefore, I, William McKinley, president of the United States, do, in ac cordame with the stipulations of the protocol, declare and proclaim on the part, of the Lmted Stales a suspension of hostilities, and do hereby command (haturdvrs be immediately given throng 1 Lue proper channels to the commanders otlhe military and naval forces of the United States to abstain from all acts inconsistent with this proclamation. In wi iiess whereof, 1 have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United Stales to be affixed.
