AS ARB|TER,
Engaged in Settling a Dispute
Between Italy and Co.
lombia.
Enormous Mass of Evidence and Ar
gument in a Case Involving
$I,5oo, 1000.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 19.-Presi-
dent Cleveland is now engaged in the arbi-
tration OF the claim of Italy against Co.
lombia, all the papers in the dispute hav-
ing finally been presented in accordance
with the convention between the disput-
ants.
The case involves damages amounting to
nearly 81 100000, on account of the perse-
eution of Ernesto Cerruti, wealthy mer-
chant and Italian consular representative
during revolution in Colombia about ten
years ago.
The Italian brief-which was delivered
to the President by Frederick R. Coudert
and S. MalletPrevost some time ago, and
to which Calderon Carlisle for the defense
has only recently filed an elaborate techni-
cal reply-declares that Cerruti, who had
during long residence in Colombia
| amassed a considerable fortune, establish
ing one OF the greatest mercantile organiza-
| tons In that country, was accused of vio-
lating the neutrality laws between the
contending parties in the revolution of
1885, and that all his estates were confis-
Gated. After vainly endeavoring to secure
| reparation, italy broke off diplomatic rela-
sent war ship to rescue Cerruti and his
| family from the country.
Through protocol arranged by the CO.
| lombian and Italian Ministers at Paris, in
| 1856. Colombia agreed to return all Ger
ruti's property, and the question OF his
neutrality was referred to the Government
of Spain, which in 1888 decided that Cerruti
had not violated the neutrality laws and had
not lost the rights and privileges of a neu-
trail foreigner and was entitled to in
| demnity for the injuries sustained. For
the next five years negotiations continued
| between Italy and Colombia finally re-
sulting in the agreement of August 1S,
! 1884, to leave the matter to the arpitral de-
cision of President Cleveland.
This agreement was reached only after
| Cerruti had declined Colombia's offer to
settle for 100000 francs, gold.
1t is understood that one of the first off,
cial duties of Assistant Secretary of State
Baldwin has been to study the enormous
mass of evidence and argument that has
| been presented by the distinguished coun-
| sci on both sides.

WILLIS TAKES OFFENSE,
The Minister Calls President
Dole's Attention to an
Attack.
Angered by the Republication of an
Article From an American
Newspaper.

HONOLULU, Hawaii, April II. United
States Minister Willis, being about to sail
to the East for sixty days furlough, on
the 9th inst. paid his official farewell visit
to President Dole. After the customary
interchange of friendly speeches the
Minister took occasion TO express his dis
satisfaction with paragraph in that
mornings Advertiser, intimating that it
was the organ of the Government, an en-
ploye, Collector ]. B. Castle, being q
principal stockhoder therein. Foreign
Minister Cooper assured Mr.. Willis that
the Advertiser was in no way controlled
or inspired by the Government and
promised to speak to the editor about the
offending article, which was done.
The offending paragraph was one quoted
without comment from an editorial in the
Washington %. c. Star, the most an
noying words of which were: "Mr. Willis
has no value whatever in Honolulu. II
anything, he is a standing affront to people
for whom the people of this country feel a
warm attachment"
The next issue of the Advertiser pointed
out that the paragraph was copied from
the Star without comment, and asserted
tie papers absolute independence of the
Government. 1t expressed regret that the
American representative should have been
misled by rumors, and sincerely hoped
that Mr.. Willis would fully recover his
health, which had been sadly broken by
the nervous strain incident to the trying
position he occupied.
Since the disagreement of the 18th of
January there has been no direct exchange
of social courtesles between Minister Willis
and any mem Der of the executive. On ac-
count of smallpox on the Gaelic Minister
Willis departure was again postponed un-
til the 18th
