ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
Situation Now Presents n Smoother
Aspect--JnpRn Appeased.
LWashInston EvenIng Star. 25thD

washington Evening Star. 25th)
Seemingly the irritation between Japan
and Hawaii on account Of the refusal of
Hawaii to permit certain Japanese imml-
grants to land, has subsidized, so that there
Is absolutely no more trouble TO be ex-
pected. The annexation of Hawaii 10 the
United States is almost an accomplished
fact so sure is II Of completion, and
Japan is deprived of any motive for
making trouble for the little republic. The
reduction Of the japanese complaint to a
definite financial claim makes IL a bust
ness proposition easy TO be dealt with by
arbitration. The arbitrators viii have no
thing TO DO but TO determine whether
damages are due from the Hawaiian Gov
eminent and. If so, to fix an amount not
exceeding the 10000 which is claimed.
Minister Hatch, Of Hawaii, who has
just arrived at the Arlington, said 10 q
representative OF the Star this morning
that the situation in all Hawaiian affairs
was satisfactory.
The japanese matter he said, has been
smoothed out, and can be settled now
without difficulty or irritation. The Japa-
nese Government seems, he said, TO be
disposed TO have the matter settled in as
amicable spirit as possible, and, as far as
he knew everything was going on salts
factorily.
Il do not know what may have hap
pened in Hawaii recently" he said, but
my Interpretation OF the action Of the
japanese Government in putting in a
definite pecuniary claim for damages IS
just that put upon 1t by the Star editorial
~. 1t is entirely satisfactory to Hawaii
1 should judge, to have the matter Of the
claim stated thus definitely. 1t fixes
the limit Of the claim, if any damages are
TO be allowed. Before the claim might
have been two dollars or two million.
This, it seems to me, places the matter
in a more tangible shape, and l think the
disposition on both sides now is to treat
Of the matter in a friendly spirit"
Speaking Of annexation, MIR. Hatcn
said that the situation seemed to be en-
tirely satisfactory. He could not tell
how speedily Congress would act. but
there seemed TO be no reason for uneasi-
ness. He did not think that the native
opposition to annexation, such as it was,
would effect anything.
With respect to the form Of government ,
TO be given Hawaii on entrance into tho
Union, he said that Hawaii did not 40.
pire to statehood. The islands would
come in under a territorial form Of gov
eminent, and remain in that relationship |
to the Union into the definite future.

HOW TO SETTLE HE GRE
 TAN QUESTION.

King George and hls governmen, have declared their entire willing. ness to assume the task of practical
 government in Crete, while allow ing the Sultan to retain his nominal suzer ainty over the island. Such an arrangement would have nothing anomalous about it, for it would fol
 low the analogy of Bosnia and Her. zegovina, which for nearly twenty
 years have been governed by Aus
 tria while nominally belonging to Turkey. Cyprus also has been in the possession of England since the treaty of Berlin, but is comprised, theoretically in that fictitious entity known as the Turkish empire. Egypt years ago was placed under the full government of the Khedive, with nominal allegiance to the Sul- tan at Constantinople; and now Egypt is practically governed by England, which acknowledges the authority of the Khedive as legal fiction, who in turn acknowledges as a second legal fction the au- thority of the Sultan. Bulgaria, al though in fact a self-goyerening, popularlyruled principality, is in theory paat Of the dominions of the Sultan. Thus the preces dents for the plan proposed by Greece are numerous. The natural and right way to settle the ICretan question for all time is to give the Island into the keeping of Greece. < From eThe Progress of the World, ," in April Reoieao of Repie,os.
