WASHINGTON. March 27.-The State De-
partment makes pretense of concealing
its satisfaction at Minister Thurston's de-
parture from Washington. As already
stated in these dispatches, there is abso-
luteIy reason to believe that President
Dole, of the Hawaiian republic. contem-
plates sending Mr.. Thurston back to Wash
ington or continuing him in any official ca
pacity whatever. Secretary of State Gresh-
am does not believe that MIR. Dole will per-
nit much time to elapse before the APP
pointment OF a new minister. Should the
Hawaiian executive, however. avail himself
of his right to display some official resent
ment at Mr.. Gresham's action it is the pur-
pose OF the State Department to Immediate
ly recall Mr. Willis the American minister
at Honolulu and to transfer him to Toxic.
Minister Dunn. at Toxic, is Republican
holdover, and his removal has been con-
templated for some time. The complica-
tions arising out of the Oriental war have
made his present removal impracticable.
but IL is intimated at the State Depart
ment that If Mr.. Thurston's successor is
not appointed within reasonable period
Mr.. Willis will be promoted to the Japanese
mission.
Mr.. Thurston left the city this afternoon
for New York. He had heard nothing from
Hawaii concerning his recall up to the time
of leaving. Frank p. Hastings has as
sumed control of the legation business as
charge d'affaires. Mr.. Thurston has gone
to New York and New England on private
business. From there he will go to Chicago
and San francisco in time to take the boat

Latest News from Honolulu
SAN FRANCISCO. March 27--The steam
er Australia arrived to-day from Honolulu.
The latest advices from Hawaii contain no
reference to the demand made by Secretary
Gresham for the recall of Minister Thurs
ton, and 1T Is evident that no knowledge of
this latest diplomatic incident has reached
the Hawaiian people. Whether the Ha-
waiian government has any knowledge of
the state of affairs at Washington is SIM
ply matter of conjecture. The following

The failure OF the cable appropriation in
Congress- has in no degree lessened the
interest in cable matters. A member OF
the Cabinet states in an interview that the
Hawaiian government is ready at any time
to consider any cable proposition that may
advance the interests of the nation.

passengers 125 were free laborers," nearly
all of whom have served in the Japanese
army.
