Washington. Nov. 2.-The official speed
of the Ammen ram Katahdin Is 1918 knots
as reported to Secretary Herbert to-day
by the trial board, and the vessel stands
rejected under her contract, bearing the
distinction Of being the first vessel OF
the new navy failing to reach the con-
tract requirements. Unless special pro-
vision is made by the next session Of con-
gress. the Bath Iron Works of Maine,
which built the huh and machinery, must
rely on selling her to some foreign gov
ernment TO recoup their expenditures, in
which case a complication woufd arise, as
100000 worth Of armor belonging to the
United States is fastened In place on the
vessel and is valueless for other pur-
poses.
Secretary Herbert said he was power
less to waive the specifications Of the
contract. which stipulated that unless
the ram developed seventeen knots or
over the vessel should be rejected. After
a long conference with Gen. Hyde, the
builder. the Secretary, however, con-
sented to take care OF the vessel at the
New York navy yard, pending further
consideration of the matter by President
Cleveland. No efforts viii be spared TO
effect some compromise before congress
meets If President Cleveland decides that
a modification in the contract speed re-
quirements would not iniuriously affect
the governments interest.
Unlike contracts for other naval ves-
sells, which provided for certain forfelta

Honolulu, oct. 26.-AH the restrictions
and sanitary precautions on account Of
cholera have come TO an end. IL is twen-
ty-four days since the last solitary case.
The fact now transpires that the Ha-
Waiian envoy to Washington, w. r. Cas-
tie accepted the Office last May for only
six months service. He will be relieved
next month by Mr. Francis N Hatch, the
present minister Of foreign affairs, who
has shown eminent -cbtlity in that Office
in which he has handled many contro-
verted questions. He Is regarded as the
best fitted for diplomatic work of any
man here. Mr.. Hatch has long stood In
the front rank of the Honolulu bar. His
appointment meets with general approval.
Mr.. Castle was intending 10 Visu the
United states on private business. IL
was considered wise to fill the place of
Mr.. ThurstOn with no great delay, lest
failure to do so should be misinterpreted
and bring preteXt for Withdrawing Min

made his prolonged absence inexpedient.
To fill the vacancy left here by Mr..
Hatchs new appointment Judge Cooper
has been named. Mr.. Thurston declines
the post although he would naturally
succeed Mr.. Hatch. He Is closely occu-
pied by his law business.
The report that MIR. Thurston favors
Kaiulani is an absurd one. The talk Of
Kaiulani is wholly confined TO the old
royalists.
There is no truth in the report that
the government intends to disband the

JAPAN's POLICY IN KOREA.
An OmeiaI Statement on the Subject
From the Governments.


Washington, Nov 2.-Mr. Kulrino, the
Japanese minister in Washington, has
communicated to Secretary olney an Of
fetal statement from the Japanese gov
ernment concerning the Japanese posi-
tion in the present aspect Of Korean af-
fairs. The statement, which came by ca
BILE, Is as follows:
Legation of Japan, Washington-In
regard to our attitude in Korea you
are authorized 10 declare to the following
effect to the government Of the United
States. Japanese troops are now stationed
in Korea to insure tranquility as well as
TO protect our legation, consulates and
subjects; and also to maintain the indis-
pensable lines Of communication with our
army, which Is still in occupation of tho
Lao Tung peninsula; the troops intended
for the latter purpose are much larger
In number. The necessity Of keeping such
troops will, however, cease at the same
time with the evacuation of the Lao
Iung peninsula, and 50 much Of tho
troops will then be Withdrawn from Ko-
rea. The Japanese government hope that
the Korean government having already
entered upon the work of reforms they
may succeed and be able to maintain or
der and even protect foreigners, though
our troops are Withdrawn.
The japanese government having no 9TH
er designs, are not desirous to prolong tho
maintenance of our troops in Korea; fur
thermOre, we would be extremely graft
flied II we were relieved Of such obliga-
ti0ns. In our relations with Korea the
policy of our government is one of non-
interference and our government would
glady share equally with other powers in
the same line Of action"

cation in this city to-day received from
