1T Is believed that these sanitary meas

JAPAN MAY ANNEX HAWAII.
Life OF the Republic VIII 10 Brief Unless
Uncle sam Comes TO Its Aid.

Unclc sam Comes to Its Aid.
Omaha, Neb June 5.-Major Morti-
mer Higley. of Cedar Rapids, Ia. is on
the way home from Hawaii. Higley,
who is an intimate friend of President
Dole and has been in the republic some
time, asserts that the life of the present
administration is limited unless some
of the powers come to its rescue. He
says: "They have a thoroughly organ
lied republic In every part, but the
more Intelligent classes realize that II Is
provisional one necessarily. The
sentiment in favor of annexation is
strong. The most kindly feelings are
cherished toward the United States
among the natives as well as the rest
of the population. l predict that If the
islands Japan will. You know what
the effect of the late war was on Japan.
1t made her jubilant and self-contident.
She has AZ, 900 citizens in the island who
have settled there. Besides the Japan
ese are restless under the Hawaiian
government because the government
does not allow the orientals to partici-
pate In public affairs. The balance of
the population. however. are allowed to
vote, with some property and educa-
tional limitations.
"Yes, I think that II the United
States does not take command OF the
islands during the course of the next
administration Japan wills But l think
that the Hawaiians realize the COM
plexity of the problem and are In favor
of coming in as territory and not as
state. President Dole told me he was
In favor of annexation, for the republic
must have the support of a strong
power, and many of the most promin-
ent royalists are also, including Cum
mings the leader of the rebellion, who
is now under 100000 bonds. The Eng
lish guardian Of Princess lkaiulani,
who has been a pronounced royalist,
has lately expressed himself to the
effect that annexation is the only sal
walton for the islands. In the United
States we have many Hawaiian exiles.

house and Il physician was sent for.
More than 100 shot were taken from
his back. and today he has been having
internal hemorrhages, which may
cause his death. There seems to be lit

Not Hanged

Columbus, O., June 5.-The state pris-
on managers this evening released on
parole a noted Ohio prisoner-William
Berner-serving a 20-years' sentence
for manslaughter, committed in Cincin-
natl.
Failure of the jury to send Berner
to the gallows was the direct cause
of the great Cincinnati riots of 1884, re-
sulting in the burning of the court
house and the killing of number of
citizens.
a series of murders had been COM
mitted, the murderers all escaping the
gallows, as the people generally be-
lieved through the bribing Of the juries.
Berner's case aroused popular indig-
nation beyond control. Only the stout
est resistance by the sheriff saved Bern
er from the mob. and several attempts
were made to take him from the train
while on the way to this city.
