Following are the advices to the Asso-

position of definite character has been
made to the Hawaiian government by
Col. S. Spaulding, wealthy sugar

No Political Questions.
1T is. perhaps, unnecessary to say that
no political or eXtraneous questions en-

point in view is to establish cable COM
mun1catfon between Hawaii and the vouteg
world upon favorable terms with the
least possible delay"
