A Newspaper Mans Opinion of Exc
Queen LiliuOkaIani.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 51.-C. l.. Nc
Arthur. editor of the Troy On. W Budget,
was before the Senate Hawaiian Investiga-
tion Committee to-day. He went to Homo
lulu in March for the purpose of investi-
eating the situation. He told the commit
tee he went there prepossessed in favor of
the Queen. but came away entirely con-
vinced that the revolution was justified
and that the Queen was unfit to rule the
islands. Macarthur was on the islands at
the time Bionnt was there and stopped at
the same hotel with him. He declared
blount's report was perversion of facts
as he had gathered them, and also pro-
nouDced absurd the story of the Stevens
conspiracy. Macarthur criticized Blount's
method of getting information and de-
clared that the most ordinary newspaper
man would have gone into the subject far
more thoroughly.

Now Assured.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The success of
Secretary Carlisle's proposed bond loan

received from New Y ork to-day amounted
to SAC, 900, 600, aud in addition offers were

President Vasquez Keeps Up a Stub.
born Fight, but 1t Cannot

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-The Herald's
Managua special says: All the hills sur
rounding Teguclgalpa, Honduras. with the
exception of the hill of Picacho. have now
been captured by invaders from Nicara-
qua, but President Vasquez still keeps up
a stubborn fight from the summit of Plea

Generals Bonilla and Gutierrez are TO-
day making flank movement so that they
may storm Picacho on the north side.
General Ortiz will at the same time storm
it from his present position.
Re-enforcements for Ortiz reached him
from Nicaragua yesterday, and he was
thus enabled to carry on the fight with
renewed vigor. General Viella, however,
also brought up re-ent0rcements for Vas-
QueZ from Santa Barbara.
There Is trouble brewing along the AT
lantic coast of Nicaragua, and the admin

OF TWO OPINIONS.
Senators Divide on the
Bond Issue.
POWER OF THE SECRETARY.
Allen Says the Gold Reserve Is a
Mere Caprice.
POWER OF THE SECRETARY
MEANWHILE THE BANKERS BID.
There Seems to Be Something of an
Anxiety to Get Hold of Good
Securities.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The entire time
of the Senate to-day was consumed in
discussion of the resolution OF Stewart
declaring that the Secretary of the Treas
ury has no power to issue the bonds for
which bids have been invited.
Allen of Nebraska took the floor to re-
ply to Sherman's argument of yesterday.
He declared that the authority TO issue
bonds under the resumption act was not
continuing power and ceased with its first
exercise.
"Does not the duty of retiring $500, ,000,-
600 in treasury notes continue the same as
before ?" inquired Platt. ''Is not the Secre-
tary of the Treasury just as much bound
to redeem treasury notes presented now as
before the limitation of the time for the
redemption Of those notes?"
mo, sir" replied Allen.
docs the Senator hold that If a treas
ury note is now presented the treasurer Is
not bound to redeem it?"
ST do" replied Allen. "He is not. under
any act of Congress now in existence"
Stewart confirmed Aliens statement,
and said that it was only the intention of
the act of 1875 to redeem S75,0O0000
of green backs, and that was the extent of
the power given by law.
Allen of Nebraska, in reply to a ques-
ton by Allison. said the only power con-
ferred upon the Secretary of the Treasury
was to redeem legal tender notes down to
$500, OO0, COO, and when they reached that
point his power to redeem stopped.
1.-The reserve S100000,000 is lying there
| now for the purpose Of redeeming green
| backs, and for 10 other purpose"
Allen maintained that the reserve fund
was mere caprice of the Secretary of the
| Treasury. and rested upon no authority
derived from Congress. The Secretary has
power to destroy the reserve and use 1t
for the ordinary purposes of the Govern
ment.
| 81 feel bound by a sense OF public
duty" said Senator Hoar, ''to declare
that it is my opinion that the bonds issued
| and sold in the Treasury Department un-
/ der existing circumstances will be Illegal
| and will carry NO constitutional or Lawful
obligation upon the Government for pay
ment."
German argued that the Republicans
| were responsible for the present condition
| of the treasury. hut admitted that silver
legislation was in part responsible fol- the
| situation.
VOORHEES, contended that there was nc
question of the Secretary's power to issue
bonds, and any question of the expendi-
ture of the money was a subject for later
consideration after the money had been
secured by the sale of bonds. He main
tain that the Secretary could use the
money both to redeem green backs and ia
carry on the Government.
Hawley said the success Of the Demo
cratic party was respon sible for the falling
off of the revenue and the deple ton of the
treasury. The bond question then went
over until tomorrow, and at 5;25 the Sen
ate adjourned.

Department on last Saturday the course
he proposed to pursue, aud it was upioubt-
edly approved before he acted. The sur
render of Da Cana 10 Benham would EN-.
barrass this Government, and Benham has
either siguified that he undersi ands this or
has been warned of the fact. His purpose
is not to be understood as intervening
against the insurgents. but simply as pro-
iecting American interests against aggres-
sions by the insurgents, and the policy of
the Government Is understood to be one of
approval of Benham's course in compel
ing recognition of the rights of American
shipping. while refraining from interfer-
ence in the internecine struggle in Brazil.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 31.--With regard to
the reports sent out last night that the
Roby Athletic Club would offer purse OF
$4,000 and pay a license of $4,000 to the
State Tor the Corbett-J ackson fight. Gov
ernor Matthews to-day said no such prop
ostion had been submitted to him. He
regarded it as an idle rumor. Governor
Matthews added that neither the Corbett-
Jackson nor any other prize-fght should
take place in Indiana as long as he had
power to prevent it.
''Parson" Davies, mana ging the Jackson
end of the Corbett-Jackson fight, called
on Governor Matthews to-day and in-
formed him he had no intention to have the
fight at Roby.
Davies this morning received another
telegram from the Washington Athletic
Club of Tacoma pressing him for an an
swer to the $40 600 offer made Saturday.
He telegraphed the club to send repre-
sentative to see him and Brady. Davies
wrote Lord LonsGale this morning with
reference to having the National Club of
London represented when the bids were
received for the fight.
Late this afternoon the West Superior
Chamber of Commerce telegraphed Davies
that 1t would give purse of $50. 600 for

DA CANA WAS VERY PLUCKY.
BENHAM's ACTION COMMENDED.
1t Has Had the Effect of Making Rio
fiarbor Safe for Merchant
Ships.

New YORK. Jan. 31.-The Herald's Rio
Japeiro correspondent cables: a launch
loaded with coal and flying the German
flag was fired on by the Guanabara yesteT-
day in the harbor. Captain Hofmeyer of
the German man-Of-war ArcOma at once
went aboard the rebel warship and told
her commander that he was now receiving
his last warning, and that if he fired again
Upon anything flying the German flag tie
German warships would sink his vessel.
The rebel commander replied that he
could only be sunk once, and that ne
would fight the thing out.
Captainf Hofmeyer then cabled to Berlin
stating that he would cooperate with the
American admiral in defending commerce
from rebel molestation.
1t is expected that the English naval
commander will soon receive instr uctions

After futile effort by an insurgent force
to make landing at Armscao to-day their
ships resumed their old ancborageS.
A good deal of confusion has arisen
about the exchange shots between the
United States cruiser Detroit and the rebel
warsbips in the Rio Bay Monday. The
facts are that the rebel warships fired upon
the American merchantmen Amy. and then
the Detroit fired a blank cartridge and
followed this by solid rife shot, which
struck the Trajano's rudder. A boatman
from the Detroit rOwed to the Libertade
then aud told Ds Cana that Admiral
Benham would not permit interference
with vessels flying the American flag.
Then the Trajano fired shot toward the
city of Rio, ending the affair.
The incident has had a good effect, for
to-day ships are coming up TO the wharves
without molestation. Da Cana announces
that he yields the poiut only to superior
force.
Owing to disagreement between the
Superintendent of Police and the Secre-
taTy of War, in which PeiXotO sustained
the former, the Secretary has resigned.

DA CANA FEELS HURT.
And Humbly Asks Permission to
Rombard the CitV.

Rio DE JANEIRo, Jan. 31.-The action
of ADMIRAL Benham III protecting Amerl
can ships has had a salutary effect. Eng
lish vessels and the merchant ships of
other nationalities are now coming up to
the wharves without any sign OF molesta-
tion by the in surgent vessels and BeDham's s
bold stand is generally applauded. The
exchange of shots between the insurgents
and the Government forces has practically
ceased during the past twenty-fOur hours,
and this is the first time for four months
that day has passed without more or less
firing.
All foreigners are delighted with the re-
suit of the American AdmiraPs conduct.
The commanders of the foreign fleets here
held conference to-day to discuss the
action of Benham and resolutions were
adopted fully indorsing the course he had
pursued.
Much regret is expressed at the absence
from Rio Of the American Consul-General.
Townes. Vice-Consul Lewis is little ore
than a boy. and Americans hardly think
him fitted to act as the representative OF
the United States at such a critical juno
ture. They say his lack of familiarity
with diplomatic affairs is liable TO lead
him constantly into blunders.
Da Cana feels much aggrieved at Ben
ham. He sent letter to the American
admiral to-day, protesting against the
entatious manner in which the Ameri-
can commander had humiiated him. he
says he will yield for time to superior
force, but that as he was compelled to
allow the American ships to come to the
wharves, he has officially notified the rep
resentatives of all other nations that they
NAV do the Same. He declares that the
insurgents have held the harbor for five
months, and says now if the shore bat
teries fire on him he will be unable to
reply for fear of hurting neutral ships. and
will also be unable to protect his men.
Da Cana also sent letter to the officers
in conference to discuss Benham's action
. asking that he might be permitted to bonn
bard the city without notice. No answer
was sent TO him. but Benham said later to
the Associated Press correspondent thai
he would grant the insurgent admiral per-
mission TO lombard the city, but would
require that forty-eight hours notice be
given so that non-combatants would be
able to seek shelter.
Benham thinks that he could not now
accept pa Gama's surrender if Da Cana
should ask it. II is rumored that Ds
Cana intends to escape south to Ii bertad
and that the talk of bonlbarding Rio is
only subterfuge.

BENHAM THE AGGRESSOR.
Nevertheless His Action Is Approved
in England.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-The British Admir-
atty Office thissmorning received dispatch
from the British admiral at Rio confirming
the story of the trouble. except that the
British admiral said the Americans were
the first to open fire. At the Admiralty
and Foreign Office Benham's attitude is
heartily approved.
The Brazilian Minister said to-day that
he believed the end of the revolt was i'm
minent. The fact that Da Cana talked of
surrender would have the same effect on
the nsurgent ranks as il be had actually
done so. He believed if the insurgent ad-
miral finally surrendered to Benham he
would be handed over TO Brazil.
United States ambassador Bayard said
there was not much significance in Ben
hams action, adding: IF the foreign
warships are not there for that purpose. of
what use are they?
the st. James Gazette says: The pre-
cious Monroe doctrine seems to be con-
strued into allowing the United States
alone to interfere in South American af-
fairs.
The Globe remarks: Admiral Da CANA
tried to bully Admiral Benhsm and got
the worst of it. The events show that
Admiral Benham does not take the same
view Of the affair as Lord Roseberry, the
British Secretary of Foreign Affairs. Re-
plying to a correspondent. Rosebery
wrote that he regretted the deplorable
state of affairs in Brazil, but said his Gov
ernment could not depart from its general
policy of nOn-interyention in the affairs
of foreign State. Lord Rosebery added
that the British naval oflcer at Rio de
Janeiro is giving the same protection to
British subjects as other foreigners are
receiving from the naval forces of their
respective Governments. Continuing, the
Globe says that if Washington indorses
Benham's action. England will be at
direct variance with the United States on
vitality important provision of interna-
tiOnal law.
