ACCEPTED BY JAPAN
Hawaii's Arbitration PrOpO-
sitiOn Finding Favor.
DETAILS LEFT UNTIL ALATER DATE
Matters to be ArbItrated Include All
Disputes Now Pending Between
the Two Countries.


WASHINGTON, July 3O.-The Japanese
government has accepted the offer by
Hawaii to arbitrate the dispute between
the two countries. The state depart
ment has been informed OF the offer and
it's acceptance. The subjects Of the ar
bitration will include not only the diff
Guilty over the landing of Japanese i'm
migrants, but also will include other dis
agreements between the two countries,
the most i'm portant of which is the Sake
tax, imposed upon Japanese liquor
largely imported and consumed by the
Japanese in Hawaii.
The acceptance of the offer of arbitra-
tration, brief synopsis of which has
been cabied to the Japanese minister
here and given to the state department,
states that the Japanese government ac-
cepts arbitration in principle, ana Is
prepared to enter upon arrangement OF
terms for the settlement OF pending dis
putes. A formal letter OF acceptance
has been sent to Hawaii and the condi-
tions of the arbitration will be contained
therein. Those conditions are not
known here. Pending the arrangements
details of all other proceedings looking
to settlement will be discontinued.
When officials of the state department
were informed of the offer and acceptance
of arbitration the secretary of the Jap
anese legation here was informed that
until the annexation treaty was conclud-
ed the United States would not assume
authority in the matter and that the
present dispute must be considered as
between Japan and Hawaii The secre-
tary in reply said he was glad to learn
such was the position of the United
States, as it would permit Japan sending
two or three warships to Hawaii pend
ing final action on the arbitration treaty.
This Interpretation of the situation rath-
er surprised the department officials,
who answered that the United States
would consider in a different light an
agreement of arbitration and the send
ing of warships, and intimated that nom
int nierferance by the United States in one
case could not be construed as passive
acceptance of the latter position. The
Japanese secretary was told, however,
that in the absence of Secretary Sher-
man nothing could or would be said Of
ficially upon the subject, and any con-
versation must be considered as wholly
unofficial.

THE KAISER AND THE TRAMP.
William Gives VagabOnd Some Money
and Good Advice.

William Gives a VagabOnd Some Money
and Good Advice.
An ancedote of the kaiser and the
tramp has just appeared in Berlin pa
pers, says the Pail Mall Gazette. Kaiser
William was, it seems, lately staying
at the Jagdschloss Hubertstock, near
the Angermunde, and was one day
shooting in that neighborhood. A
tramp deserted him from afar, and, not
knowing it was the emperor, accosted
him with the usual German request for
UNDERSTANDING or financial propping up,
and also wished to be directed as to the
road to Angermunde. The kaiser COM
piled with both requests, converSed
with him at length as to his personal
and professional views of life, and dis
missed him with wish for a pleasant
end to his days journey. The pleasant
end was in the police station, for one
of the kaiser's servants, who seemed to
be of the Scotchman'S opinion that it
was ''an awfu' like business for puir
fouk tae lulk at a king imagined that
the emperor had been insulted and tele-
graphed far and wide for the arrest of
the pilgrim, with accompaniment of
bonds, fetters, handouts, and so on
The wanderer was run to earth at An
germunde, when he learned several
things that he did not know before
inter-alia, that he had been speaking
with the kaiser and was guilty of high
treason, anarchism and the like. Need
less to say, he was speedily released by
an impetuous telegram from the en-
peror, who ordered that he should be
fed, comforted and have free ticket to
Cuxhaven, "where he told me he wanted

AT HAvANA's VERY GATES.
Cubans Raid the Suburbs of the Span
ish Stronghold.

1sh Stronghold.
New YORK, July 30.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
Havana's outposts have been again at
tackled by large body of rebels, who
before the Spanish troops could be gath
cred to resist had swept through the
suburbs, carrying all before them.
They used, it is believed, rapid-fring
guns and large quantity of dynamite.
The attack was made late last night. To-
day there is an inclination among the
Spanish officials in Havana to deny the
fact that the rebels had evaded the forts
and swept into Havana limits. The
facts, however, remain and the path left
by the rebels through the suburbs south
east of the city may be plainly traced.
At the first sound of firing last night
the Spanish soldiers in the city and sub
urbs sprang to arms. They proceeded
hurriedly to the southeastern part of the
city from where the rattle of musketry
followed by the boom of heavy guns or
dynamite could be Heard plainly all over
Havana. Then the sound of firing in
creased, and finally after a few hours,
died away, showing that the rebels had
retired. Several wounded Spanish SOL
diers were brought to Havana and re-
and several were killed. The reticence
of Spanish officials prevents any know
ledge of the result of the attack becom-
ing general. 1t is fact, however, that
great damage was done by the insur
gents on their bold raid and that con-
siderable quantity of dynamite was used.
There was great excitement in Havana
during the rebel attack. Hundreds,
aroused by the heavy firing, poured into
the streets and the word passed along.
''The rebels have attacked the city,"
created almost panic in some quarters.
There is still much excitement here, due
largely to the refusal of the officials to
give out information.
This attack on Havana was not unex-
pected. For weeks past the rebels have
been within sight of the capital and have
practically moved without interference.
The insurgent leaders near Havana are
Brigadier General Castillo, with a large
force at Mariana, nine miles southwest,
and Colonel Nestor Aranguron, of Guam
abacoa, across the bay. General Alex
ander Rodriguez, rebel commander of
Havana province, with a large force, is
near Minar and Colonel Aranguren is at
Colorado.
1t is believed the rebel raid was led by
Aranguren, who is noted as one of the
most daring of the rebel chiefs.
| Captain General Weyler has left Ha-
vana for the Matanzas, and tue belief
is expressed that the knowledge by the
insurgents of this intention on his part
| led to the attack.
1t is understood that large bodies oi
insurgents have recently crossed from
Pinar del Rio and Matanzas, and that
the rebels strength in this province has
assumed formidable proportions. Quin-
tin Randeras with 800 men is among
those who have come into the province
| from Matanzas.
