Then Tommy's mother fulfilled her part

that at cabinet meeting President Har-
rison insisted on an immediate conclu-
sion of the Chilian negotiations and laid
before the cabinet c'hili's demand for
the recall of Egan as condition prece-
dent to successful settlement of the
difficulties. The president declared that
before he would submit to the hunilia-

cumstances he would prefer to abandon
his Office. The result of the meeting
was cablegram instructing Minister
Egan to insist ON an immediate reply Ia

The same dispatch says that COM

Egan indicating no abatement of the i'll

does not think the junta is disposed to

! SAN Francisco, Nov. 2.-Honolulu
advices state that the arrival there of
the news from the United States con-
corning the fatal illness of the queen
and the prospects of a revolution in the
island, created great sensation and
within half an hour after the steamer
from San Francisco brought the news
papers none could be purchased at any
price. Dr. Trosseau, the queens ply
sician, to satisfy the government, made
a public denial. of the reports, but is
said that he does not deny that
the queen has heart disease. There is
little change in the situation at present,
although the trouble will surely come
upon the death of the queen. The pres
ence of American warships and Amer
can influence could probably not pre-
vent the formation of republic. In
case the republic failed the people would
clamor for annexation to the United
States or to become al dependence Of
Great Britain, whichever diplomat of
the two representatives, English or
American, proved himself most diplo-
matte would secure for his country the
much coveted prize of Hawaii. A good
deal also depends upon which foreign
representative would have the largest
naval backing at the time.

Hawaii's Qaeen-Anncxation
Probable.

LONDON, Nov. "A private dispatch
received here from Japan says that the
loss of life by the recent earthquake,
which shook the Island Of Hondo and
other places, is estimated to be very
great. Orer 1000 persons were killed
and about rs, 900 houses were destroyed
in the Province of Nagoya, on the
Island of Hondo, the capital of which is
Nagoya, a city of 130, 900 inhabitants.
In addition to the foregoing 5000
houses were destroyed and 5000 persons
were killed by the earthquake at Gifu.
The towns of Kano and Kasamatsu
are also reported to have been destroyed
together with fifty miles of railroad.
1t is presumed that the fire which
started among the wrecked buildings at
Nagoya, as already cabled, may have
had great deal to do with the great
loss of life which is announced by
the private message mentioned. AS
loss of life at Kano and at Kasamatsu
is not mentioned, and as these towns are
said to be destroyed, it is estimated here
that the tatol loss Of life may eventually
be shown to be over 10000.
Additional advices confirm the news
that there have been many wrecks about
the Island of Hondo, as one of the conse-
quences of the terrible disturbance. The
severance of telegraphic communication
with the death visited districts continue
to prevent the accurate details being
gathered as to the extent of the
calamity.

dispatches from Santiago say the Chiian
authorities show no disposition to recede
from the defiant attitude which they
assumed in the answer to the communi-
cation from the United States in regard
to an assault ON members of the crew OF

Pedro Montt, the representative of the
provisional government at Washington,
sent dispatch Friday urging the junta
to adopt a conciliatory policy and to
move with great caution, but his advice
has apparently had no effect. While the
American and other foreign residents
fully realize the gravity of the situation
and are fearful of other and perhaps
graver complications, the Chilian public
appear to have no conception of it. Be-
yond the meager facts which have been
published in the local papers they are as
