GERMANY AND HAWAII.
There Will Be No Demonstration in the
 South Pacific

WaEhingto ion, Dec. 20.-The ssse- ton that the German feet under Prince Henry will go to Samoa and Hawaii, thus creating menacing situation, is rtd:culed in all official quarters he |. When the reports were called to the attention of the German representa- tdvs, th=y laughed heartily at the idea of a German diversion against Samoa or Hawaii. NcLhing of the kind has ev- CT been considered. The German flee. will go to China via the Suez canal and the destination is Kiao Chau bay.
 G',Uinauy, the United States and Great Britain are parties 10 a tripar- tite fer the government of Samoa, and although the plan has not proved sat isfactory, there has been Go recent friction and at no time a condition which would call for naval d.monstga- tion. Germany has taken no interest in the annexation of the Hawaiian is- lands to the United States and her only interests there are only 1,400 G,.rman citizens who constitute a con- siderable part of the sugar exporting community.

The op eratives resisted the proposed reduc- ton in wages, saying that the depres- sion in the industry was on5y t;mpo- rary. They requested the manufac- Iurers tc postpone the reduction of wages uEtil March 1, and proposed to work only four days per week unE[l that time.
 Should this proposition not be sat isfactory the operatives proposed to refer the whole wage question to the state board of arbitration, the wages to- remain as at present until the board shall report The manufactur- CTS promised a written answer tomor- row.

Opposition Said to Have Been Or

Columbus, O., Dec 20-Members of the legislature are gathering, and it is possible from the expressions of members that a surprise may be in store for MT. Hanna. It has been supposed that all opposition to his election as United States senator had disappeared. It nbw appenrs that the opposition has been working in the dark, and it is announced that if Hemna is not elected on the first bal lot his defeat is certain.

SPANISH SOLDIERS sTARvE.
Twenty Thousand tn Hospit als Suf-
 ferihg From Lack of Fcod.

Washington, Dec 20.-A man of suf cabinet of President Mckinley, had he desired, has received an importan. letter from an eminent American in Havana on the subject of the Spanish promises in Cuba. The letter will find its way to sources which will ultimately accomplish something for the struggling Cubans.
 The writer says in the most positive language that there is no longer any thing like a campaign against the in surgents, and that the Spaniards are hoping to end the rebellion by the extravagamt and alluring promises they have scattered broadcast. The letter says that on all sides in Havana these promises are regarded as empty and are therefore accomplishing nosh- ing. 5tA is declared that autonomy is an kmpossibility, and that nobody will be deceived by it.
 The startling statement is made in the letter tlhht Spain hss neither the
 
 Eeve the starvation among the recon centradOs, and it is pointed out that of nearly 10000 Spanish soldiers in the hospitals of Cuba about one-half are theria from weakness and exhaus- ton, the result of scarcity of food The writer says that it is impossible to feed starving Cubans when the soldiers themselves cannot be fed.
 The state department has been posted as to all these facts, and has the authority from whence they came It is declared that this authority is such GhaE President Mckinley will soon have to recognize it as better than the promises of Spain.
 Accompanying the letter the writer sends copy of Gen. Gomez' latest proclamation to his soldiers. It is dated November 8. At the c9nclu- sion of this proclamation, Gen. Gcmez says: 1.-The hopes of Spain to con- quer us are hopes already blasted. and Gen. Blanco represents her last and final effort.'
 General Gomez says that everything thai 'Hhelps the enemy must be de- stroyed and everything that ha1asses him must be accomplished. The pro- clamation contains this clause: Con ceuning our purposes, they are well defined and sufficiently proclaimed before the whole world The inde- pendencta of the country; Cuba for she Cubans; America for the Americans.

The Subject Rises Up Again in Coco
 nino County.

The right of county treE6uresS to retain one per cent of the moneys of the school fund disbursed by them has come up again, this time in Coc1n no coanay. Attorney General Frazier re- ceived letter about it from County Superintendent Layton of Ccconino county. The at sorney general replied in the first place that the inquiry had been 1ir4eeass to the wrong quarter. The opinion of the district attorney should have, been first asked and in the event of an appeal from his opinion it would be proper. to apply to the attorney general, who is only the adviser of territorial officials, as the district at torney is of county officials. Hay ng disposed of this matter, the attorney general proceeded to reply to the in- Quiry. Treasurers who retain one per cent of the disbursements of the school fund do so under section 1874 of the revised statutes, which instead of directly authorizing them to do SO,
 
 visors to make an order allowing the treasurers a commission on these d S. burssmenfS mot in excess of one per cent. Unless such an order has baen made the treasurer is entitled to no commission. When Dr. Rosson was treasurer of this county he retained commissions amounting to nearly $2,00O in the absence of any order by the board. His commissions were, however, turned back into the treas ury
 It is not stated in MT. Laytlcn's let- ter of inquiry whether the supervisors of Coconfrp county have made such an order. If thsv have not, the at ey-gene1al recommends that they do not if other fles allowed the treas urer by law amount to the salary to which he is entitled.

he got on at Gila Bend, of which the-e could have been no proof at all, and his adibi might might have had a fatal hole in it.
 Sues, by the way, does not look like amy sort of criminal. His gaze is direct and kind and his voice at all times is soft and even. He said of his relations with Lynch that they mat at Maricopa on their way to Phoenix about three or four weeks ago. They stopped at first at the Capitol hotel, but latter sought cheaper lOdg hgs at the College Place. Sues had at that time about $50 and Lynch had very lit tie. He was often deEpondent and talked about killing himself. He said has father at Grand Rapids was in easy circumstances, but that he him self had spent so much mOney that he would die before applying to him fer assistance. Sues let him have $2 shortly before he went away. It was also learned that during his say here he assisted one young man whD is now at the county hospital and another man who is still about the streets liv- ing upon what charitable people give him.
 This establishment of Suss' innl3- cence leaves the killing of Lynch more mysterious than ever. It is true that his poverty described by Sues m ght suggest a motive for suicide, but he was in good h,atlh and strpng ard beside the physicians say that it was absolutely impossible for him to have fired the shot that killed him. It was nlot contact shot, as is shown by the cha aeHi.r of the wound. It was not fired from within a distance of thr, e feet, for a discharge within that dis tance, according to the books, must leave powder marks. At a distance of two feet the powder marks are a. ways plain. The average man could not hold Ehe muzzle of a revolv,r eighteen inches away and inf1ict such a wound as that which killed Lynch.
