There is likely to be some trouble

Eamed Laban inherited from his father,

numerous improvements during his
thirty odd years of occupancy but had

Court, on investigation, awarded the
land to Laban on payment of a certain
sum to the natives. The court title has
been issued to Laban, Jr., but the high
chief claiming the island defies the
court and threatens the life of Laban if
he should venture to return to Nanuia.

UNCLE SAM REMAINS NEUTRAL.
WIN Take No Part in the Effort to End the

VIII Take No Part in the Effort to End the
Oriental War.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-A cable dispatch
from London showing a purpose ON the
part of Great Britain, France and Russia
to interfere at the proper stage Of hostili-
ties between Japan and China has at
tracted much attention in diplomatic cir
cles here, and has acquired additional sig
nificance when taken in conjunction with
the recent speech from the throne of Queen
Victoria. The latter in a very guarded
and diplomatic manner, limited that when
the time came the relations between the
great powers would be found sufficiently
harmonious to insure the restoration of
peace between Japan and China.
BY the terms of the understanding as
reported Japan will not be permitted to
acquire an inch of territory on the Chinese
mainland. This, of course, would prevent
her from retaining Port Arthur or Wei
Hal Wei, the great Chinese naval strong
holds, or any part of Manchuria, which
she has occupied after hard fighting. But
on the other hand it is believed here that
the statement carries a distinct intima
ton that Japan may claim the great
island of Formosa, which is q most inn
portant strategical possession. This is in
habited by fierce Malay tribes who have
never been subjugated and even after
their long nominal possession the Chinese
have been unable to do more than get a
foothold on the coast.
1t has been confidently expected here
that the European powers would inter
vene between Japan and China whenever
it should appear that the latter country
was really vanquished and was suing in
vain for peace upon reasonable terms, but
so far as the dispatch referred to indicates
any possibility of action in that line by
the United States in conjunction witt
other powers it is clearly erroneous, for il
can be positively stated that under NJ
probable conditions can the president be
Induced to depart so far from our estab
lished policy Of non-interyention.
1t is no cause Of surprise here that Ger
many, too, will refrain from joining in al
intervention which would be surely dis
tasteful to Japan, for the latest reports
| from our consuls in the latter country
show that the German traders are making
extraordinary progress in supplanting al
other foreigners, even Americans, in SO
curing control Of the valuable japanese
| foreign trade.

The Fleet Dofen ing Wei-Hai-
Wei Practically Wiped Out.
JAPANESE FIRING CONSTANTLY.

Neither Our Government Nor Germany
VIII Cooperate with Great Britain,
France and Russia in Proposition to
Force a Cessation of Hostilties.
LONDON, Feb s-A cable dispatch from
Wei-Hai- Wei dated Feb 5, says that the
Chinese fleet has practically ceased to ex-
ist. The iron clad Chen Yuen and her sister
ship, the Ting Yuen, have been sunk and
the other vessels of the Chinese fleet arc
within the grasp of the Japanese.
The dispatch adds that at daybreak on
Sunday the japanese feet opened fire on
the Lui Kung forts, which replied vigor-
ously. The bombardment became terrific.
The first Japanese fleet, including the flag
ship directed its fire against the Eastern
Island batteries, while the second division
shelled Fort Ihih. The Chinese fleet soon
came to the assistance of the forts. The
Ting Yuen used her guns without effect,
but succeeded in dividing some of the Jap
anese fire from the forts to herself.
The Lai Yuen, smaller ship, also
fought well. She sustained much dam
age. There were many casualties. Two
Chinese gunboats also assisted but were
not badly damaged. These four vessels
fought desperately until dark, when the
firing ceased on both sides.
The Chinese forts, especially Fort Zhih,
suffered immense damage The slacken-
ing Chinese fire towards evening indicated
that the guns were disabled, that the gun
ners were killed or that ammunition was
becoming scarce.
The sea was rough Sunday, but fearing
that the Chinese would endeavor to escape
the japanese fleet did not seek shelter, re
naming to block the exits from the
harbor
During the night the Japanese learned
from a prisoner who had been captured
that Admiral Ting the Chinese naval
commander, had ordered the captains Of
the various ships to remain inside the
harbor even if the island should be cap
tured, and endeavor to destroy the Jap
anese fleet. Every officer was ordered to
remain at his post until the last under
pain of dishonor or death.
The bombardment was resumed today
Sundays operations being repeated. The
fire from Fort Zhih continued weakly
The Chinese men-of-war were so repeat
edly and badly hit that their guns were
handled with difficulty and with less
spirit Towards the close of the fight the
Ting Yuen and Chen Yuen were disabled.
They gradually settled down and found
cred, amid shouts of triumph from the
Japanese both ON land and sea.
The other Chinese vessels were in dis
tress
The dispatch concludes with the state
ment that the Japanese are preparing to
carry Liu Kung by storm

Scoring Governor AItgeld.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills. Feb. S-The special
to investigate the Anna hos
pital created a sensation yesterday by scor-
ing Governor Altgeld for his administra-

port was signed by three Republicans and
two rural Democrats. The committee re-

into the state cash by Governor Altgeld
been judioiously expended for the purpose
for which it was appropriated much of the
distress complained of in many parts OF
our state would never have ensued.
