WILLIS OUGHT TO KNOW.
Says That He has Heard Nothing of Minister
Thurston's Recall.

San Francisco, April IA United
Press correspondent at Honolulu sends
the following under date of April a: On
arrival of the steamer China on April 2,
lively sensation was created by news
paper dispatches announcing that Score
tary Gresham had instructed Mr.. Willis
to demand the recall of Minister Thurs
ton.
Minister Willis stated to the editor OF
the Advertiser that he had received no in
structions upon that subject and knew
nothing whatever about it. Foreign
Minister Hatch has received from Mr.
Thurston himself no information of new
or special trouble arising between him
self and Mr. Gresham.
In discharge of his duty the Hawaiian
minister has repeatedly been compelled &c
perform acts extremely distasteful to Mr..
Gresham. The only surprise is that he
was able to continue so long at his post
The opinion is generally expressed by
friends of the government that Mr.. Thurs
ton will probably have no difficulty in
justifying himself.
1t seems probable that his governmnt
will not make q point of honor in the
matter. but will send another minister in
Mr.. Thurston's place. If Mr.. Hatch
should go, Mr.. Thurston would doubtless
take his place here us minister of foreign
affairs
Mr.. Thurston abandoned q lucrative
law practice here to serve the government
abroad. He will be glad to retire from
public life and attend to his private bust
ness, but this is not likely to be permitted
him.
United States Minister Willis is believed
to fee! some ureasiness lest, in retalia
ton, this government should give him
his passports, but it is considered highly
improbable that the government will dis
turb Mr.. Willis so long as he gives nc
special cause therefor

CHINA IS 0FFISH
And Japan is Ready to Fight After
the Armistice Expires.
DIR. Arthur and the War indemnify Are the
Points OF Contention.

Washington, April 11.-Advices re-
oo;yed indicate that there is little II any
probability that satisfactory terminus
ton of the peace negotiations between
China and Japan will be reached peior'
the expiration of the armistlce on the
goth. The failure to conclude the nego
tiations by that date, it is said, VIII pe
followed at once by aggressive move
ments against both Moukden and Pekln'
which latter city, it is claimed, can lie IN
vested by the Japanese troops WITHIN t"o
weeks after the march begins.
The principal contention between the
neace Observation-Disclosures for the last few
DAYS, has been over the payment OF Tine
war indemnity. and the occupation OF
Port Arthur 1t is thought not unlikely
that a compromise may be reached whlcn
NAV result in the occupation OF Fort Ar
thur by Japan, not permanently, but tof
an indefinite term of years
A popular misunderstanding seems 70
exist regarding the indemnity. Wha'
.Japan asked in the way OF indemnify was
400. 600, 900 Pekin taels, which woulo
amount in silver dollars to about s4oo,
600, 600. The amount of indemnity on a
gold standard is about S215, 600, 600.
This indemnity, it is asserted, is en-
tirely reasonable when the immense wal
expense which Japan has incurred Is re-
membered Japan WILL is said pension
it's soldiers literally and this Will aoo
materially to the yearly budget.
The opinion is expressed that China Is
delaying the conclusion of the negot,a-
tions as long as possible in the hope that
some European powers will interfere and
forcibly cause cessation of the war ny
the same authority it is asserted that this
hope of China is not well founded.

A GREAT AGREEMENT.
Is, 900 Physicians Of One Mind.
Food for Strength First. - Medicine for
Cure Second. The Least Food that
will give Most Nourishment, tbs Kind.

ROOD TOT StrenSth ffrbt. - meulcino fcr
Cure Second. The Least Food that
will give Most Nourishment, tta Kind.
In this enlightened age, the old theory
held by physicians = to get as much medi-
cine in the least possible time into the
system of a patient, even at the expense
of stomach, blood, brains, nerves, and
often, in the end, life itself has been
abandoned.
The old way was to "dose." If the
patient had tremendous constitution,
he sometimes pulled through" if not,
which was more often the case, that spe-
cial disease was considered more danger
Gus. as it had claimed another for its own.
But this is all changed now. All promi-
nent physicians agree on one subject, any
way. 1t is this = build the patient up
first, give him new blood and strength,
add flesh to his bones. He's then ready
treatment.
To do this effectually, that must be given
which will, in the least quantity, produce
the greatest amount of vitality, - not
stimulant which quickly reacts disastrous
ly, but a genuine food, muscle, bone,
and blood maker. Such food was long
sought for, and at last discovered in that
original and only raw food extract
Bovininc.
BY the use of this wonderful life-gene-
rating preparation, every organ of the
body becoming strengthened by nourish-
ment, naturally begins to perform its ordi-
nary functions, and at once the patient is
on the road to recovery.
1t is this result, obtained in hundreds
of cases where Bovinine has been used,
that has caused its Endorsement by % 600
prominent physicians in America.
In addition, thousands who have been
benefited can vouch for the wonderful re-
suits obtained by the use of Bovinine,
for inyalids, the old, convalescents, the
over-worked, or, in fact, all who have
found it necessary to maintain strength,
flesh, and vigor.

Not Much Anxiety Felt Over the Secretary

San Francisco, April 11.-Advices from
Honolulu say: Mr. Hatch has received a
telegram from Mr.. Thurston announcing
his intention to arrive in Honolulu, April
IL. This intention seemed suddenly formed
at the last moment. Mr.. Thurston
had written his mother not to be disturbed
by press reports; that he should stay in
Washington. No serious apprehension is
entertained by Mr. Hatch and his col
leagues of any grave complications.
