Divorce.
A WIFE DESERTED IN HONOLULU.
Consul-General Mills Nuptials-Lucien
Young Writes a Book-The Pacific
Cable-The Hawaiian Hotel Lease.
y New Hotel May Be Built.

LONDON, Nov. IA dispatch to
the Pail Mall Gazette from Rome to-
day gives an account of the troubles
which led to the divorce suit just
brought by the Baroness Cine Sobrero,
brilliant writer, known under the
nom de plume of Mantea," against
r. w. Wilcox, the Hawaiian revolu-
tionary leader who was sentenced to
death in January for the share which
he took in the rebellion against the
Republic of Hawaii, and whose SEN
tence was afterwards commuted to
thirty-five years imprisonment and
$4,000 fine.
The Baroness, it appears from testi-
mony, met Wilcox in Turin, to which
city he had been sent by the Hawaiian
Government to study military tactics.
He spent freely, and declared himself
to be heir to the throne of Hawaii.
The Baroness was smitten with the
Hawaiian, and succeed in obtaining
the consent of her family to their
marriage, which was eventually ceIe-
brated with great pOmp.
The Baroness accompanied her hus-
band to Hawaii, where, to her disgust
and astonishment, she found Wilcox
was really the son of a carpenter and
a kanaka woman. After a number of
more or less romantic adventures de-
scribed by the Baroness in her testi
moDy, she returned to Italy, where
she succeeded in obtaining a dissolu-
ton of her marriage by the church
on the ground that Wilcox was not a
Catholic, and now she has just sue
ceeded in obtaining legal civil di
vorce on the ground of " mistaken
identity" the sum and substance of
which is that Wilcox, in order to
marry her, misrepresented his posi-
ton

Meeting in London of Those Actively
Interested in Its Early Completion.
LONDON, Oct. % The Pacific
cable scheme, advocated by a mum Der
OF British colonies and the Dominion
of Canada, made decided advance
today at meeting of the representa-
tives here of Canada, Australia, New
Zealand and the South African colo
nies. The meeting was held at the
office of Sir Charles Tupper, the Cana
dian High Commissioned, and the
chief point discussed was the joint
attitude of the colonial representa-
tIves. The new instructions sent by
the colonies TO their agents general,
show that the colonies are for the
most part willing to bear their share
of the expenses of the cable, and that
they are anxious the matter should
be actively pushed. Upon the return
OF the Right Hon. Joseph Cham Der
lain, Secretary of State for the Colo
MES, a date will be fixed for confer
ence at the Colonial Office, upon
which occasion it is expected definite
action will be taken.
1t was felt by the meeting that the
exclusive concessions of Hawaii to an
American cable company, if ratified,
would increase the cost of the pro-
posed Pacific cable, as the line would

Macfarlane Says WarfieId Was Not Au-
chOrized to Apply for the Lease.
E. G.. Macfarlane, one of the Iessees
of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Homo
lulu, was a passenger on the steamer
Australia, which arrived from the
Hawaiian Islands yesterday, says the
s. F. Chronicle of Nov. 4th. When
seen at the Occidental Hotel yester-
day afternoon Mr.. Macfarlane denied
that r. H. Warfield, manager of the
California Hotel in this city, had been
authorized by himself or his brother,
Colonel George Macfarlane, to nego-
tiate for a renewal of the hotel lease
from the Government.
'In the first place, George Macfar-
lane has no longer any interest in the
hotel" he said, land has no authority
to negotiate with any one in matters
pertaining TO its management. The
hotel passed into my hands about
twelve months ago. 1t is true that
there will be change in the manage
ment of the Hawaiian Hotel as soon
as the present lease expires, which
will be in the near future. A syndi-
cate is being formed to buy the hotel
property rom the Government. If
we cannot buy the hotel we may
build another -caravansary of equally
spacious propOrtiOns.'

to his. daughter, and in one of his let
ters said he would return home if his
wife would send him money enough
to come with. Mrs. Honseley says she

considerable difficulty and sent it to
him.

posed to be. A divorce is asked for on
