stood the test of nearly one and one-half
wears of exposure and hard work since my

fortunate enough to put myself under your
care in July, 1896. and after just eight
weeks treatment, by you alone. the symp

resume my work. which have continued
to perform regularly up to the present
time, and am az we'll and hearty as ever.

There have never been any baclli found in
my sputa since my cure, and am so well
pleased with what your treatment alone
has done for me that / cannot recommend
1t too highly to any sufferer. and am glad
to make known what you did in my case.
MY cure can be attributed to no other
treatment than yours, and to no one else
but yourself. and should any one doubt this
sta temen., shall be very glad to prove the
assertions l have made, and will be pleased
to answer all inquiries made to me per-

Japan Does Not Propose to Recall Her

tiOns with the United States She Will
Stand Firmly for Her Treaty Rights
against Hawaii. ,
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 9.-Toru HoshL
Japanese minister to the United States.
passed through Omaha last evening en-
route to Washington, accompanied by
his private secretary. In an interview
with a representative of the press. Mr..
Hoshi admitted that the object of his
mission to Japan was to ascertain the
views of his government on the pro-
posed annexation Of Hawaii and to
procure instructions from the mikado
relative to the course he was expected
to pursue in case the treaty shall be
ratified by congress.
The impression has gone out to the
American press" said Mr.. Hoshi, that
we propose to recall the protest en-
tered by Japan against the acquisition
of the Sandwich islands by the United
States government. This is mislead-
ing and untrue. japan has always
maintained amicable relations with
the United States, and it is not u
purpose now to take any steps that
would lead to a breach of mutual good
will; but at the same time Japan will
stand firmly in the maintenance of its
rights and privileges acquired under
treaty with the Hawaiian government.
If the United States government de-
cides to annex Hawaii, we hope to be
hble to enforce our demands for in
demnity for the violation of treaty
rights in the expulsion of Japanese i'm
migrants from the island and their ex-
clusion from the rights acquired under
our treaty"
Concerning President McKinley's
message, especially as referring to the
relations of Japan and the United
States in connection with the proposed
annexation of Hawaii. Mr.. Hoshi de-
clined to express any views beyond re-
iterating what he stated at the outset,
that there would be no disposition on
the part of Japan to resist the ac-
QUESTION of Hawaii by the United
States, but that he hoped to be able,
through diplomatic negotiations, to
bring about a peaceful solution of the
matters in controversy.
