REV. ALExANnEa,s RETURN.
Refers Pleasantly to His Trip ,n the
South Seas.

Refers Pleasantly to His Trip in the
South Seas.
OAKLAND, Cal, Feb. l2-After spend
ing six months in visiting the various
missionary stations in the South Sea
Islands, Rev. James H. Alexander has
returned to this city. When seen this
evening at his home, 452 East Seven
teenth street, his bronzed face afforded
ample evidence that he had spent many
days under a tropic sun.
While on his trip he was for the great
er part of the time guest of the Ha-
waiian missionaries, and it was in COM
pany with one of them that he Travelled
through the Marquesas, Society, Pau
motu and Gambler Islands.
In talking of his trip last evening, he
said: II am more than pleased with my
half years experience, and found every
day something to greatly interest me.
These far-on Islands are worth visiting
for their scenic beauty alone. A fact
that is not generally known is that on
most of these Islands the native popu-
lation is increasing, thus refuting the
old story that missionaries prove the
destruction of the people. 1t is the trad
ers who do that, and on islands where
they have held the exclusive control the
native population is rapidly diminishing.
"On the islands where there are mis-
sionary stations, schools have been es-
tablished, and it is gratifying indeed
10 near tneSe natives IN their SOnOrOuS
language sing their songs of praise. We
had thought of going to the Solomon
Islands and seeing the native in can't
balistic state, but, hearing of a mas
sacre in which several white men were
killed and their flesh eaten, we changed
our minds and returned to Hawaii.
There I talked freely with the citi-
zens, and think 1 can say without fear
of contradiction that the intelligent
classes, both native and white, are ready
and anxious to have their country an
nexed to the United States. The only
whites who oppose annexation are few
Germans and English. AS for myself,
after thoroughly looking into the mat
ter, I am unqualifiedly in favor of an
nexation, and believe it would result in
great good for both Governmental
Viewing the Islands Of the Pacific
from commercial standpoint, think
they are of greater value than is gen.
orally conceded.
with reference to the Hawaiian ISL
ands, If they come under the control of
any European or Asiatic power and that
trade is lost to San Francisco, i. will
be a greater blow commercially than she
has ever suffered"

NEW YORK, Feb. THE Suns
Washington special says: Each day the
opinion becomes more general that Lili-
uokalani, the dethroned Queen of Ha-
wall, is in Washington for political pur-
poses. She has denied herself to all in
reviewers and the cloak of secrecy is
thrown about her every movement Sec
rotary Palmer said tonight: Now, 1
do not want you to understand that I
am voicing the sentiments of Her Maj
esty when I say that this is what 1
would like to see done by the present OF
incoming administration. In order that
the people of the United States
may know something as to the
form Of government existing in Hawaii,
] think it would be wise for the Presi-
dent TO appoint three commissioners, one
from each of the two big political par
ties and one independent non-partisan,
to investigate into affairs in Hawaii and
report on the advisability of continuing
diplomatic relations with that Govern
ment, as it now exists. 1t is my judg-
ment that some startling facts might be
brought to light-something that might
sstonish the people of this country"

a commission that the ex-Queen seeks?"
was asked. Il am giving my own views,
not those of the Queen" he said.
Speaking of annexation, Secretary Pal
mer said: Annexation, temporarily sus-
pended by President Cleveland, is now
dead forever, for there is no escape from
one of two positions. First, the 10000
native voters, now disfranchised by a
minory, that by official statistics in 1898
numbered 637, will be allowed to resume
the suffrage; second, the 10000 native
voters viii be still denied the right of ex-
precision of their will at the ballot box.
They will be held down by manacle and
muslIet, as they are today. ] have seen
noble specimens of Hawaiian manhood
laboring on roads, carrying a ball and
chain, for no other purpose than their
own loyalty to Liliuokalani. If this
course is pursued the American people,
under whatever party, will never admit
them to this great and glorious Union
simply on the vote of their oppressors,
because these latter wish to be relieved
of the consequences of their own rebel
lion and folly"

Mr.. rHuRsroN ARRIVES.
Talks Very Little Concerning Future
Movements

Movements.
Lorin A. Thurston, a prominent law
yer of Honolulu and ex-Hawaiian Min
lister to the United States, arrived from
the Islands on the steamer Alameda yes
terday, accompanied by his wife and
child. They are now occupying apart
ments at the Occidental, says the Chron-
icle of the 18th.
Thurston, as president of the Annexa-
ton Club of Honolulu, expects to ac-
complish considerable missionary work
in aid of the annexation movement be-
fore his return home. His mission is
not an official one, he says, and he has
not been sent here either by the Gov
eminent or by the Annexation Club He
says, however, that if the opportunity
presents itself he proposes to exert his
best efforts to aid the annexation
movement.
Just what is to be DONE or what can
be done, remains to be seen," said Mr..
Thurston. My plans are not formulat-
ed, but after spending some days in San
Francisco, / shall go East.
THE all-absorbing theme of discussion
in the Islands just now is annexation.
The movement has been dormant dur
dissemination of the Cleveland admins
tration to faVorably consider the matter.
AS the day for the inauguration of Nc
Kinley approaches interest in the annex
and widespread. The Annexation Club
has been organized and now has a mem
bership of 6,000. OF this number a third
or a fourth are natives. The natives are
becoming converted TO the annexation
sentiment in large numbers. The day
before ! left the Islands / received word
of the organization of a branch club in
the Koolau district, Is miles from Ho-
nolulu, with a membership of so, all but
two of whom are natives. ]. l.. Kaulu-
kou, a former Marshal and Attorney
General under the Monarchy and for
many years staunch royalist, has come
out in a strong letter in favor of annex
alton. The natives are joining the move
ment with the idea that the annexation
of the Islands to the United States is
their only salvation from the Japanese,
who are elbowing them in various fields
of labor.
THE census of the Islands has just
been completed and / was able to OBJ
tain the official figures on the returns
the day 1 left. The census shows a
population of $1,000 natives, 5000 half
castles and mixed races, $4,000 Japanese,
p, 600 Chinese and $4,000 whites, includ-
ing Americans and Europeans. The Off
cial returns have occasioned some sur
prise. 1t was generally presumed that
| the Japanese population was greatly in
excess of the figures given"

Mrs. Dimond said to Have Signed Con-
tract In Oakland.

OAKLAND, Cal, Feb. 12-Mrs. Willie
Dimond, who gave up Honolulu society
and incidentally a husband for Charles
d. Wilson and the stage, is to appear in
Oakland when the curtain goes down in
the Hawaiian courts, where the drama
is all so realistic. She has signed con-
tract with A. ]. Moore of the Orpheum
and W. R. Daley who has a company
at the Oakland Theater at the present
time, and under its provisions she is to
appear here at the head of a company
to be organized to support her The
managers have decided to try Mrs Dr.
mond in burlesque, "An Bahia" being the
one chosen.
1t is planned to secure a couple of
clever comedians to furnish the heaviest
part of the support, and to put on we'll
costumed, bright, up-to-date show. The
managers declare that they are not re-
lying upon the former social standing
of Mrs Dimond to carry her through,
but that in her they have an exception
ally good singer and a fairly clever act
ress, with forcible complement of fig
ure. They declare that she was born for
the stage, and talk of May Irwin and
her close resemblance to the society wo-
man. No dates have been fixed upon

MERIT


That is why MALT NU-
TRINE has taken the lead of
all other preparations contain
ing the curative properties of
Malt.
A few reasons why Malt NJ
trine is superior to other ex-
tracts is:
1. That it contains almost Is
per cent of Pure Malt Extract,
with less than per cent of Al
cohol.
2. 1t can be given to children
with perfect safety.
8. 1t is not an excitant slim
ulant. The benefits to be de-
rived by Nursing Mothers dur
ing the period of lactation can
not be overestimated.
All persons requiring Tonic
and Fat Producer should not
fail to give Malt Murine a
trial.
People of every walk of life,
from the laborer to those in
the highest ranks of nobility,
will find beneficial results from
taking Malt Murine.
The feeling of exhaustion,
brought on by the prevailing
south wind, can be overcome
by this valuable preparation.
The demand for Malt Murine
has increased so greatly that
we have been enabled to pur-
chase large quantities, thereby
reducing the price to within the
reach of all.
Single Bottles, 80 cents.
Per Dozen, $3.50.
We are giving away with ev-
cry purchase of Malt Murine

at least twice the figure asked
for the article.

this opportunity to receive

The latest news from Madrid is that
General Martinez Campos will be ap-
pointed GoveTnor-General of Cuba and
| General Sabas Marin, now at Porto
Rico. will be commander-in-chief of the
spanish army in the field The pur-
pose is TO make the military operations
Independent of the political direction
and administration of public affairs
though General Martinez Campos will
at all times have authority over Gen.
eral. Marin.
General Martinez Campos, it is said.
mas not yet accepted the proposal
made TO him by the cabinet, and with a.
view to obtaining his consent, General
Azcarraga, minister of war, conferred
with him a few days ago
General Martinez Campos' views
about the Cuban situation are rather
pesslmlstic. and he has often declared
that mild and conciliatory policy is
not enough 10 eXtinguish the revolu-
tionary spirit in Cuba which has been
very much increased recently by the
intense bitterness and hatred fomented
by the war; much less will such a policy
put an end to the revolution, which is
stronger now than ever
1t is supposed that as the condition Of
accepting the government of Cuba he
asks from the cabinet extraordinary
powers which will permit him to grant
as many concessions as possible to the
insurgents Whether Senior CanOvaS
will bestOw these powers on General
Campos it is difficult to say as public
opinion in Spain, particularly in the
northern provinces and in Catalonia, is
strongly opposed to any kind of re-
forms which would put an end to the
present tariff schedule, so unjust TO
Cuba and so favorable to peninsular
interests and to the plumber of the
island by Spanish officials.
What is undoubtedly true is that the
Spanish government will not make any
more sacrifices TO keep Cuba by force
of arms, and will no longer support
with money and men the devastating
warfare of General Weyler That
commander has been informed officially
that the nation cannot afford his ex-
pensive system of war. As the Span
iardS cannot hold their own against the
Cubans. even with their present far su-
perior force and equipment. this de-
cision practically means the abandon
ment of Cuba. Martinez Campos per-
sonal popularity among the Cubans is
SPANS last hope.

With telling force on the body Erne
put a good right on the body, but
Dixon retaliated with hard left on the
body and then came in left on the jaw.
Both were fresh when the bell sounded
