THE FEELING N LONDON.
lBy Cable to The Timesl
LONDON, Oct. 29.-The greatest ferment ex-
lists in the South American trade over the news
from South America. The general impress
sion is that Chill will fight and that the
United States is now IN position where il
must fight or retreat with dishonor. No per
son Of responsibility has yet been found who |
doubts that America will come out foremost III |
the end butt the general expression is that Chill
will have for the present a decided adyan- !
tage. The sentiment OF the mercantile houses /
trading with Chill Is strongly against war |
and the nitrate interests are also opposed TO /
it Oh the ground that war might result in the /
United States, through an arrangement with |
Peru. getting control Of theinitrate deposits |
also, that successful war would have |
the effect cf raising American prestage in |
South America to the detriment of England /
The change OF feeling since yesterday is most
significant. Then the idea of war was pooh |
poohed. Now the South American opinion in
London is exactly the reverse, and war is re-
garded as almost inevitable.
HAWAII TIRED OF HER QUEEN.
Ceso Caesar Mareno. an Italian resident Of
this city. who is said 20 be the representative
IN this country of the National party OF
Hawaii has received a letter from leader Of

Smith leaves here Honolulu for Washington
with some missionary instructions. The
Queen is as unpopular AS ever and has turned
a deaf ear TO her friends
The peOple.are looking for new ruer-a
Republican OF their Ogn race. The republi-
can form Of government is gaining ground
and you need not be surprised 10 hear the
natives have thrown tleir Queen aside for a
president between now and election time
The newspapers are fall Of republican
ideas: they have opened their eyes. The
government of the Queen Is very weak
and is liable TO be overthrow any
time. She has men of 70 honor and no
principle for her chiet advises. besides weak
kueed ministers The people are disgusted
with the whole affair. Those around the
Queen are the most worthless set Of men YOU
ever came across. A big blacksmith is her
chief adviser Just think OF it-a blacksmith
debating to the ministers, and the Queen up
holds him.
Mr.. Mareno saws Mott Smith comes to
America in the interest of the missionary
party.
