IS Il HUNG CHANG LOST?
Much Speculation in Diplomatic Circles
About His Whereabouts
Nothing Has Been Heard of Him Since
His Departure From Picking
Three Weeks Ago.

The whereabouts of Ii Hung Chang,
China's peace envoy, is a source of much
speculation and no little concern in official
circles here and at the Chinese and Japan
csc legations. Since he left Picking. more
than two weeks ago, there has been no
word, official or by press reports, as to his
whereabouts. His first departure from
Picking was about three weeks ago. but
he was called back by the emperor on the
receipt by United States Minister DENLY
of Japan's terms of peace. as transmitted
from Minister Dun in Japan. The terms
were fully agreed upon, and Prince Ii
started to execute the treaty of peace.
He went to Tien-Tsin, whence he was to
sail for Japan. There had been constant
press reports from Tien-Tsin prior to that
time, but since then there has been alb
solute silence, and not a word has been
received as to Lis arrival at Tien-Tsin or
mis- departure for Japan or his purposes.
A Shanghai dispatch two weeks ago stated
That John w. Foster had started for Tien-
Tsin to join Ii.
This Is the last official or unofficial refer
ence to the subject. Owing to the tremen-
dous responsibilities imposed on Prince Lii
there Is naturally great interest in his
movements. 1t is not doubted that the
mission Is of such humiliating character
that Geographic communication from Tien-
Isln, which is under the control of LII, as
Vlceroy OF the province. is checked as to
the circumstances of the mission Owing
to the absence Of all Information of his
whereabouts, it is even possible that LII
has already sailed for Japan, with the pur-
as possible, the fallen dignity of himself
and China. Word is expected, however,
clearing up the mystery of his where
abouts Meanwhile, there is a disposition
IN official circles to wonder whether this
Is not another stroke of Chinese diplom-
acy.

NOW AT SAN DIEGO, CAL.

HONOLULU, March Per steamer Ara
wa, via San Francisco, March 14.-Excite-
nlent over the recent rebellion here is grad
ually quieting down. The Hawaiian gov
eminent is now directing its principal at
tention toward the abettors of the insur-
gents, who are now on American soil. w.
A. Kinney. who acted as judge advocate of
the military commission which tried the
rebels. is among the passengers who will
leave on the steamer Arawa for San Fran
cisco today He carries with him the tes-
timony and affidavits in the schooner
Wahlberg case.
The Wah,berg IS the vessel which landed
arms for the rebels and which is now de-
tanned at San Diego. Mr.. Kinney is ac-
companied by George Townsend and
Charles Warren. half whites. both of whom
spent several days on the schooner while
she was lying Off the coast waiting to land
arms for the rebels. They will be able to
identify the vessel and the captain and
crew of the craft.
Upon reaching San Francisco, Kinney
will proceed to San Diego to act in behalf
of the Hawaiian government. The wit
nesses who accompany Kinney were among
twenty-five rebels who were convicted and
sentenced for treason. but in view of their
recent services to the government Presi-
dent Dole has suspended ;heir sentences.

WAITING FOR THE PRESIDENT
The State Department Much Embarrassed
by His Absence
Important Matters of Foreign Policy
to Be Acted On-The Case of
the Allianca.

The State Department officials are very
much embarrassed in their course of action
on several important foreign questions be-
cause of the absence of the President and
the illness Of Secretary Gresham. Assist
ant Secretary Uhl, who is acting secretary
of state. has a natural delicacy in doing
anything that might possibly complcate
our relations with foreign governments
with which we are at peace. Correspond
ence is in progress with the diplomatic rep
resentatives of Spain over the Alliance at
fair, of Great Britain over the New Orleans
affair, of Italy over the Colorado affair, OF
China and Japan over the terms Of peace
and of Germany, France and Denmark over
important commercial questions.
The absence of the President is keenly
felt in the consideration of all these ques-
tions, and the greatest caution is being
observed in all negotiations to avoid the
possibility of any utterance to which he
could properly take exception.
The President alone can order out red
eral troops, and they could not now be used
in New Orleans or Colorado. even If the
necessity existed and the authorities so
desired. The Alliance affair is particularly
perplexing, as the officials of the State De-
partment are entirely in the dark as to
the Presidents wishes in that respect.
There were no special developments in that
case today, and it is probable that nothing
will be done until the President returns
beyond securing the necessary evidence
from the captain and officers of the vessel
and to obtain such information as Minister
Taylor at Madrid and Consul General Will
Jams at Cuba may be able to secure in
regard to the affair.
Acting Secretary Uhl has called on both
of those officers for report. The question
of calling upon the Spanish government for
an explanation of the insult to the Amer
lean flag will be left for the determination
or the President and will naturally depend
mainly on the character of the official re-
ports of the diplomatic officers
Private Secretary Thurber says that he
mas not heard from the President since his
departure. Tuesday week, and that he has
not felt 1t necessary to communicate with
him. The President is now on his way
home. and will probably reach here by Sat
urday.

The trial of James L. Travers, charged
with the murder Of Lena Gross, November
10 last, was continued before Judge Cole, in
Criminal Court No. 2 today. The case for
the government closed this morning with
the introduction In evidence of the mans
confession, made to the police the night of
his arrest. In this confession Trayers de-
tailed at length the killing of the woman.
stating that she attempted to cut him with
a razor. He knocked her down with his
fist and then cut her throat to put her out
of pain.
In opening the case for the defense, ex-
Gov. Hart explained that they would show
that Travers had always been weak
minded, being known in Charles county,
Md, whence he came here three or four
years ago, as Crazy Travers." Travers.
said Gov Hart, was deeply in love with the
woman and was wholly under her domina-
ton. He claimed that in the scuf1le for the
possession of the razor the woman was ac-
cidentally cut, Travers having no intention
but that of self-protection. The alleged
confession. said Gov. Hart, was drawn
from the man by threats, and did not rep
resent his true statement of the affair.
Quite number of witnesses were then
examined by the defense, their testimony
tending to show that Travers had always
been of weak intellect. and that he had al
ways been an inonensive man of excellent
character. The defendant testified in his
own behalf, disclaining the confession al
legged to have been made by him to the po-
lice and insisting that he had no intention
of killing the woman and that her death
was the result or an accidental cutting dur
ing their scutf1e.
The trial will probably be concluded some
time tomorrow.
