ISLANDS NOT TO BE CEDED.
Report That England Would Give
Them to France Denied.

London, Nov. 2.-1nquiry made to-day
in official circles regarding the statements
contained in a letter to the Daily Graphic
Of this city that report had gained cir
culation In the Channel Islands and that
Great Britain contemplated ceding them to
France, brought forth an emphatic denial,
of the whole story, which was classed as
being nothing more than fairy tale
According to the reports denied on the
foregoing dispatch, Great. Britain was GO
ing to give up the Channel Islands TO
France, to which country they originally
belonged, owing TO the failure of the isl.
anders to bring the local militia up to
the British war office requirements II
was added that as this force had always
been kept up to the standard required, the
supposition was that the Channel Islands
were to be handed over to France as the
result of an undertaking between Great
Britain and that country by which the
former was TO be given free hand in
Egypt or in the Niger territories.

GERMAN NAVAL APPOINTMENTS.
Those of Admiral Won Diederich and
Prince Henry Confirmed.


Prince Henry Confirmed.
Berlin, Nov. 4.-The appointments of
Admiral Won Diederich to command the
combined German squadrons in Chinese
waters, and of Prince Henry of Prussia to
assume command of the second German
squadron on the coast of China consist
ing of the Kaiserin Augusta, the Deutsch-
land and the Gefion, which three vessels
will probably start for Kiao Chou bay
about Dec. 10 next, are officially confirmed
Emperor William is credited with the
inception of the proposed naval demon
stration in Chinese waters. The sudden
ness of the appointment of Admiral Won
Diederich and Prince Henry is shown by
the fact that only a week ago the prince
was appointed inspector of the navy, a
post in which he is now replaced by Baron
Bodenhaus,s the commander of the imperial
yacht Hohenzollern.
No German prince has ever had an active
naval command so far from home
The two squadrons will consist Of eight
vessels and $500 men.
1t is semi-oficially declared that the
pending diplomatic negotia tions will be
conducted at Pekin and not at Berlin.
The new Chinese minister to Germany
was just on the point of starting for Ger
many; but on the occupation of Kia Chau
the Pekin authorities countermanded his
departure.
On good authority 1t is said that Ger
many is negotiating with the great powers
for a permanent occupation of the bay as
a naval station. The negotiations promise
to be successful
The Hayh difficulty has disappeared in
the background in view of the weighty
Chinese movement. The semi-offlcial or
gans regard 1t as settled, and acknowl-
edge the friendly attitude of the United
States which has materially assisted the
settlement"

which grew out Of the governments de-
feat in the Boule on Monday over the
question of the appointing of a committee
of inquiry into certain incidents of there
cent war with Turkey is ended for the
present 1t was believed for a while that
the cabinet might be compelled to recon-
mend a dissolution of the Boule especially
as the leaders of the various political
groups seemed to agree that the present
chamber would be unable to deal with the
situation.
But the Boule met to-day, and as a re-
suit of an agreement in the election, the
parties adopted the proposal to appoint the
committee of inquiry.
The committee having been appointed
the chamber adjourned probably not to
meet again until the treaty of peace with

KAIULANI AT HONOLULU.
The Princess Believed to Be in Train
ing For the Throne.

Honolulu, Nov. H. via San Francisco,
Nov. 24.-The presence of Princess Kaiu-
lani is not satisfactory to the adherents of
the deposed queen, as they believe the
young woman has returned for the pur-
pose of starting a boom for herself at the
expense of the former queen. Kaiulani's 5
supporters claim that in the event of a re-
fusal on the part of congress to annex
Hawaii she will stand good chance of
being placed on the throne under a linn
tied monarchy. The princess has been
giving public receptions al her home, and
in other ways trying to make herself pop
ular.
]. K. Kaulia and ID. KaIanokalani will
leave for Washington on the 18th to work
against the annexation of the island. They
represent the royalists. At a later date
they will be followed by other anti-annex-
alton delegates. Samuel Parker, probably
the most influential Hawaiian in the coun-
try, and who is an anneXationist, says
the delegates can do but little in Wash
ington. Congress, he says, will have con-
vened when they arrive.
Eleven large vessels with a total carry
ing capacity of 10000 tons, have thus far
been chartered to carry sugar from Ha-
waiian ports to New York.
Washington, Nov. A.-Hon. Francis NJ
Hatch, the Hawaiian minister, returned
to the city tonight afte3 an absence of
several months, the greater portion of

describes affairs as being very quiet and
satisfactory in Honolulu and the people
are thinking more of business than of pol
itcs.
Mr.. Hatch says the negotiations between
the Hawaiians and the Japanese with a
view TO a settlement of the differences be-
tween the two governments by arbitration
are still in progress. The ministry looks
for a satisfactory solution of the trouble.
