POISON IN HAWAII.
The Soldiers and National Guard
Have Narrow Escape From Death.

The Soldiers and National Guard
Have a Narrow Escape From Death.
San Francisco, April 23.-The barkeu-
tine Imgard, which arrived from Homo
lulu tonight, brings advices up to April
u. The leading events since the last
letter to the press, was the supposed
wholesale attempt to poison the soldiers
and the members of the national guard
In all about sixty mon, thirty at the bar
racks and thirty in company "a"
OF the national guard, were rendered
unfit for duty, but most of them
suffer permanently. Much mystery sur
rounds the affair and it has created Il
great sensation. The royalists are very
indignant and deny the existence of u
plot to destroy the government
forces in this murderous manner, and
there is so far no general desire
or intention TO hold them accountable
The futter of excitement caused by the
return of Paul Neumann and Price David,
the ENJOYS of eX-Queen Lilioukalani, to
Washington, has passed away and has
left nothing apparent as substantial
result to their mission
Three times in as many days the report
has been circulated that the dayand hour
had been fixed for the restoration of the
queen, but up to the present writing the
throne lacks an occupant, as il has since
the eventful 18th of January. The queens
party do not appear more hopeful with
the continued delay, but still insist that
the only thing which the United States
can do IS to restore the statu quo.
The Associated Press correspondent
called upon Commissioner BloUnt and
asked him if there was any truth in the
report that he intended leaving for home
on the steamship Australia, which leaves
here April 16. Mr.. Blount replied that
there was no truth in it whatever
My length Of stay here is indefinite
1t may be two months, it may be three
months. If l were in the states, f." he CON
tinued, 81 frankly say to you, ! would
talk more freely, but here ] do not wish
to assist in pTOpagating rumOrs."
When asked if his position
were not more clearly defined
it would not assist in quelling many ru-
mors, he said he was NOT giving himself
any trouble about that. 81 suppose" he
said, with some irony, 81 should have
made speech at the lowering of the flag,
but ] am not making any speeches or issu-
ing any pyrOtechnic proclamatiOns."
The commissioner would not intimate
the character of the report he would
formulate and said he had made no state
ment for publication and would make
none.

BOOTH IN GRAVE DANGER.
His Condition More Serious Than is
Given Out.


New York, April 23-There seems to
be little doubt that Edwin Booth is in a
very serious condition in spite of the re-
assuring statements of his physicians
DR.. Smith said after his o'clock call to-
day that Mr.. Booth was better than he
had been at any time since his present at
tack. Mr.. Booth is still unable to talk
He recognizes those about him, however,
and sleeps mostof the time. His daughter,
Mrs. Grossman, was with him to-day.
NO CHANGE AT MIDNIGHT.
New York, April "a, 1 a. NAT mid
night Mr.. Booth was reported to be in the
same condition as DR.. Sinclair Smith
found him early in the evening. Although
his medical attendant pronounces Mr.
Booth somewhat improved at the Play
ers' Club it is thought that his recovery
is doubtful.
At 11:30 O'Clock last night DR.. Ferdinand
Smith and DIR. William Starr were called
in and held a consultation on Mr. Booth S
condition. The result of their conference
was that the tragedian's recovery was
scarcely to be hoped for, and they were
of the opinion that the end would prob
ably come within forty-eight hours

GOLD TO BE PAID OUT.
The President Denies That Refusal
Has Been Contemplated.


Washington April 23-To a representa-
tive of the Associated Press the President
said tonight "The inclination on the
part of the public to accept the news
paper reports concerning the intentions Of
those charged with the management of
our national finances seems. to
justify my emphatic contradiction
of the statement that the redemp-
ton Of any kind Of treasury notes
except in gold has at any time been de-
teImined upon as contemplated BY the
Secretary of the Treasury, or any other
member Of the present administration.
The President and his cabinet are abso-
lutely harmonious in the determination
to exercise every power conferred
upon them TO maintain the public
credit, to keep the public faith,
and to preserve the parity between
gold and silver and between all the fnan-
cial obligations of the government.
While the law Of 1890 forcing the pur-
chase of a fixed amount Of silver every
month provides that the Secretary Of the
Treasury in his discretion NAV redeem in
either gold or silver the treasury notes
given in payment of silver pur-
chases, yet the declaration Of
the policy of the government
TO maintain the parity between the two

discretion as 70 dictate their redemption
in gold. OF course perpleXities and dihi-
culties have grown out Of an unfortunate
financial policy which we found in vogue.
and embarrassments have arisen from
ill-advised financial legislation confront
ing us at every turn, but with
cheerful confidence among the people and
a patriotic disposition to cooperate, the
threatened dangers will be averted pend
ing legislative return to a better and
sounder financial plan. The strong credit
of the country is Still unimpaired and the
good sense of our people, which has never
failed in time Of need, are at hand TO save
US from disaster" The Presidents only
visitors to-day were Secretaries Carlisle
and Lamont.

ought not to despair He, himself, did
not believe that home rule was any nearer
realization because the bill had passed its
second reading.
