DON Cesar on the Situation.
A Washington special, dated the 18th
instant, saws that Signor Celso Caesar
Moreno, a welI-known Italian-American
residing here, and acting as agent in this
country for the National party of Hawaii
corresponding to the Chilean Congress
sionalsts), to-day laid before the Presi-
dent a letter that he recently received
from a correspondent in Honolulu, as
serting that England is now planning to
take possession of the kingdom. The
writer said that some action on the part
of the United States is necessary, that
the Queen is favorable to British in
terests, and is ready to countenance the
move when made. The President was
interested in the letter, and asked Senior
| Moreno to communicate with Secretary
Blaine.
The Washington correspondents have
evidently been imposed upon by Signor
| Celso Cesar Moreno. The author OF this
sensational story is a man with grew
| anCe, who thirteen years ago occupied
position in the Hawaiian Cabinet. He
occupies no official position, and mis- wish
for trouble in Queen Liliuokalani's king
| dom is doubtless father to the thought.
d. A. Mckinley, the Hawaiian Consul
here, was shown the above dispatch last
| night, and he laughed at it. He yester-
| day received letter from Her Majesty
| and one from the Secretary of State of
| the island kingdom two days ago. Both
Of these, as we'll as other communications
received from members of both political
| parties, describe the situation there as
most harmonious. Persons who have
recently arrived from the island capital
also speak of the internal affairs of the
kingdom as satisfactory in the extreme.
" 1t is not likely,' said the Consul,
"that if the Queen favored such move
as this that she would have her Cabinet
composed entirely of Americans or de-
scendants of Americans. The story is
prepOsterous."
The Mail Service.
The New Zealand Government Agent,
r. J. Creighton, has received long dis
patch from the Postmaster General of
New Zealand, announcing that the Par
Lament of that colony has authorized
the renewal of the postal service to San
Francisco for three years. This sets at
rest any question regarding its continu-
anCe and is an evidence that New Zea-
land is resolved to remain firm and true
to the American connection, although
the entire Australian colonies have with
drawn permanently from it. The enter
prise and friendship of New Zealand in
the matter of this postal service cannot
be too highly commended, and merits
some recognition by Congress. For the
past twenty years New Zealand has
given proofs by the expenditure of mil
lions of dollars in the payment OF Ameri-
can steamships, that it desires to estab-
| lish and maintain close commercial and
social intercourse with the United
States. 1t is unquestionably the most
progressive OF the Australian group of
| commonwealth at the present time, and
| is the only one willing to spend money
| to maintain direct mail and trade COM
munications with this country. This is
! the best kind of reciprocity" and as no
return has ever been made by the United
States, it is full time that Congress con-
sidered the claims OF New Zealand for
some kind of commercial equivalent
Anyhow, California stands to gain large
Iy by New Zealand's enterprise.
The Oceanic Company will now pre-
pare it's bid to take advantage of the
Postal Subsidy law of the United States
These bids must be ready for presenta-
ton by the Goth of October. 1t is almost
an assured fact that the fortnightly SER
vice will be successfully carried out, and
there is some talk of a through service to
Melbourne.
The extent of the plans OF the Oceanic
Company are not known. John d.
Spreckels, who is in active control Of the
shipping interests of the Spreckels fami-
ly, is in Honolulu, and he is in posi-
ton to state what will now be.
