Rapidly Losing Faith.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10.-Julien
d. Hayne, editor of The Hawaiian,
a monthly magazine published at
Honolulu, arrived here on the
steamship Australia. He takes a
very pessimistic view Of the present
government of Hawaii and says
the Japanese are becoming so nu-
merous there and so firmly rooted
that the island is in danger Of be-
coming a mere outpost OF Japan.
Mr.. Hayne said: "The thirty gen.
tlemen, who in 1898 stood god
fathers to the infant republic and
who find themselves at the begin
ming of 1896 the only support OF
Hawaii's provisional government,
are most uneasy. L say pro
visional government because that
is all it is as yet. The utter fail
ure of an effort to reconcile the
native Hawaiians to disfranchise-
ment, the sudden aggressive &C
ton of the Japanese residents and
the independent stand taken by
the Chinese agriculturalists make
the situation anything but COM
Portable. The government is like
a business house threatened by
bankruptcy. The crisis may be
delayed, but not for long. There
is a monthly deficit of $40, 900, and
the people are rapidly losing faith

CUBA APPEALS TO U. s.
In the Name of God, Justice and Ameri-
ca For Recognition.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. l0.-The
Record today, publishes an appeal
to the American people, signed by
President Bretancourt OF the pro-
visional government OF Cuba, and
craving recognition for the insur-
gents. Says the appeal:
GAIL we wish now is to be looked
upon by the government of the
United States as men and soldiers
battling for their birthright. We
do not wish to appear in the eyes
of the world like bandits and
rebels"
After rehearsing in detail the
history OF the United States strug-
gle for freedom, the appeal con-
tinues:
ave ask the American people to
grant US, through their president
and congress, those rights OF bel
ligerency, to which, according to
laws of war and of nations, we are
entitled. Our armies have marched
whittier they might throughout
the entire island, and for weeks
have threatened the stronghold OF
Spain's power in Cuba.
"Must we capture Havana and
drive Spain's hirelings across the
sea before we are given the right as
men to fight for that priceless
gift, which God destined should
be universally divided among his
children? Must we gain our indie
pendence before we are accorded
the sanction of the world to labor
for it? Is Spain entitled to con-
sideration at the hands OF mod.
ern, civilized and highly progress
sive nation? Does her misrule Of
Cuba for a century commend her
| to the hearts and minds Of men?
| Are her hirelings here to lift up
and educate the Cuban and make
his beloved island prosperous?
"Cubs, the bleeding, appeals to
her American sisters. She does it
in the name Of God, justice and
| America"

WASHINGTON, Feb. l0.-If an
attempt is now made by the pro-
motors Of the k'ltzsimmons-Maher
prize fight to "pull it off" in New
Mexico, the government will pre-
vent it at all hazards. Attorney
General Harmon said this morn
ing "If they fight on any territory
Of the United States, We will follow
them to the end OF the earth IL
necessary to bring them to justice.
The opinion appears be that Gov
ernor Culberson will certainl y
prevent the fight in Texas territory
and no doubt, has influence enough
with the Mexican authorities to
prevent its taking place in Mexico.
It is understood that Governor
Culberson has gone to the frontier,
to direct in person the movements
II necessary, to prevent the battle
taking place on Texas territory.
Texas undoubtedly will assume the
Jurisdiction OF the disputed terri.
tory for the time being. If it is
definitely known where the fight
is to come off the authorities in
that jurisdiction can arrest the
principals before a breach Of the
peace takes place.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l0.-Mr
Romero, Mexican minister here
said today it was his understand
ing that Mexican state authorities
would certainly prevent the Maher
| Fitzsimmons mill from taking

CHRISTIAN PLEA FOR WAR.
Bishops of the Protestant Church Head fol
aOrusade.

New YORK, February lO.-SiXty-
seven bishops of the Protestant
Episcopal church in this country,
who a week ago petitioned Presi-
dent Cleveland to take some force
full action that would lead to a ces-
sation of the massacre OF Chris
tians in Armenia, have sent petit
tions to the Archbishop OF Canter-
bury, head of the Anglican
church, and through the various
ministers of foreign affairs to the
car, the president Of France, and
the emperors of Germany and
Austria. In their letters to the
Archbishop of Canterbury the
bishops declare that a crusade sup
ported by Christians the world
over would be truly warranted and
plead that the great church OF Eng
land, through its episcopate, shall
take decisive action.
To the great powers they pray
that in the name Of Christ they
come to the aid of the prosecuted
brethren who are suffering from a
persecution worse than the Roman
emperors ever perpetrated; worse
than the martyrs OF the early
church endured.
"Our differences in doctrine, f"
they say, care as nothing in the
presence OF a crisis like this. All
we who profess and call ourselves
Christians must place the rescue
of hundreds:of thousands Of our fell.
low Christians from death, or what
is worse than death, above all
questions of mere material per-
sonal advantage. 1t is not a ques-
ton of creed, and we ask you to
save our brothers from death for
Christ's sake and a race from ex.
| tinction."
