HAS BLOOD IN HER EYE.
Japan Is Determined to Force Trouble
With Hawaii.

New York, July 14.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Hawaii has offered to refer to arbitra-
tion the immigration question pending
between Japan and herself, but the
Toxic government has SO far ignored the
proposition. Telegraphic information
to this effect has been received by the
state department, and it is therefore
possible to deny the report published
that Japan had agreed to arbitratre the
vexed question she is discussing with
the Hawaiian government. The prop
osition was made in the report sent to
the Hawaiian minister for foreign
affairs. Mr.. Cooper, in answer to Mr..
Shimumura's last letter reiterated the
demand of his government that Hawaii
recognize the principle of monetary
liability as motive of her action in
excluding Japanese immigrants.
The Hawaiians do not expect that
Japan would accept arbitration. In
fact, before Minister Shimumura began
correspondence with Mr.. Cooper in re-
lation to the matter, he declared that
his government would never accept ar
bitration. At that time neither he nor
his government had any idea that the
strong arm of the United States was
seen to be thrown around Hawaii, and
it was because of this ignorance, state
department officials say, that Japan has
assumed such commanding tone in
her negotiations with the little republic.
1t is said that Mr.. Shimumura in his
last correspondence with the Hawaiian
government, demands further explana-
tion in regard to certain details connect
ed with the immigration controversy,
in which he holds that Hawaiian au-
thorities have committed an official
offense against his government. The
minister refused to admit the principle
of monetary liability, and insists that
the Japanese government does not want
to get at the real merits of the contro-
versy, otherwise it would acquiesce in
the proposition to refer the matter to
arbitration.
In view of Mr.. Cooper's refusal, it is
the general expectation in administra-
tion circles that whether the senate
ratifies the pending annexation treaty
or fails to take action during the present
session, this government will have to
settle the immigration question with
japan.

latter succeeds in reaching Havana pro-

The spaniards have destroyed num-
Der of small forts because they cannot
spare men to garrison them.
An engagement took place this week
near Artemisa, in which the Spaniards
lost heavily. Over 400 sick and
wounded men have been sent to Ha-
vana.
In Matanzas town, there are over
5000 concentrates, of which over so
die every day.
The Spanish troops have been Or
dered not to eat mangoes, but they dis
obey the order, because they have moth

gravates the fever. During the last 10
days over 800 soldiers were taken to
the hospital there.
The Spanish mail steamer leaving
Havana yesterday carried 1000 sick
soldiers, many of whom will die on the
way home. Eleven thousand sick SOL
diers have been sent to Spain since
January 1.
Another American citizen has filed a
claim for false imprisonment and dam
ages with the consul-general. Jose
Gonzales, for 40 years a resident of
Philadelphia, claims $50, 900 for being
kept in prison for five months, and
$3.50, 900 for damages to property.
A local paper, published chiefly i'll
the interest of the merchants In Ha-
vana, makes a savage attack upon Cen
eral Brunner, the acting sanitary in
spector appointed by the United States
government, because he has reported
that the importations of sugar from
certain warehouses here might be re-
sponsibie for an outbreak of yellow
fever or smallpox in the United States.
In another interview had with Brun-
ner, he stated that his reason for max
ing the report was that the sugar was
shipped from warehouses that had been
used as hospitals for fever and small
pox patients. The soldiers in many
instances utilized the sugar sacks for
bedding, and he considered it unsafe
to have sugar sacked and shipped in
these same sacks.

Suit to Eject Lieu-Land Settlers.

Colfax, Wash, July 14.-The North
ern Pacific has begun ejectment pro.
ceedings against J. D. Halliday, James
w. Harper, Eli B. Spray and R. H.
Hibbs. The defendants are lieu-land
settlers. Halliday and Harper live in
Turnbow fiat, near Palouse and Pull
man. The complaint sets forth the
same facts as in the Slaght case, in
volving the townsite of Palouse. 1t
is understood that this is the beginning
of ejectment suits to involve every lieu
land settler. The settlers have banded
together and will fight the case to the
highest court. Meetings have been
held, commsttees appointed and money
subscribed for this purpose. Some of
the land has been settled for 20 years
and is we'll improved.

MAY HOIST OUR FLAG.
Japan's Aggressiveness May Hasten
Annexation Matters.


Chicago, July IA special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
The administration has taken steps
to keep its grip on Hawaii. Any aggres-
sive interference on the part of Japan
will result in the landing of marines
and the hoisting Of the American flag.
with or without the raticfation of the
pending annexation treaty.
The administration, realizing that
some crisis might arise while the trea-
ty still hangs fire in the senate, has
taken steps to be prepared for any
emergency.
Rear-Admiral BeardsIee will have,
when the next steamer arrives in Hon
olulu, instructions giving him power to
act at the first sign of aggression on the
part of Japan, or trouble of any kind
with which the local authorities are
not able to cope.
Rear-Admiral Beardslee will be
given sufficient force to carry out the
programme that events may force upon
him. It is definitely settled that the
battle-ship Oregon, now en- route to San
Francisco from Seattle, will be dis
patched to Hawaii as soon as she can
be prepared for the voyage. This will
give Admiral Beardslee three vessels
the Oregon, Philadelphia and Marion.
Japan has at present but one vessel in
the harbor at Honolulu, the cruiser
Naniwa. She has another cruiser at
San Francisco awaiting orders, which
may take her to the Hawaiian islands.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins 8 Company's Review
of Trade.

There was not much activity or busi-
ness in the wheat market during the
past week partially owing to the very
not weather throughout the the states
east of the Rocky mountains. On ac-
count of the temporary strength of the
corn market prices advanced 2 cents,
but the advance did not hold and the
close was at about the same as a week
ago.
The July returns of the departments
IF agriculture indicate the everage con-
iition of spring and winter wheat COM
bined are $40, which is az points
higher than last month.
The Orange Judd Farmer says:
In the spring wheat district the
month has been wholly favorable and
previous high condition of the crop, is
fully maintained. The present condi-
ton, 93.2, is practically the same as
reported last month. Should it go to
harvest with no future drawback, there
abundance in the situation to justify
an expectation of $50, 200, 900 bushels,
with nearly 200, 900, 900 bushels in the
Dakotas and Minnesota alone. This,
with reasonable certainty of at least
315, 900, 900 bushels of winter wheat,
makes possible this year a total wheat
crop of 575, 900, 900 bushels.
For the past week the decrease in the
visible supply was $4,000 bushels,
and the total is now but 16,609, 900
bushels.
The weather was the controlling in
auence in the corn market during the
last week. There was renewed activity
over range of about ~ cents. Dur
ing the first part unreasonable tempera-
ture and lack of moisture prevailed
throughout the entire corn belt. This
induced liberal buying for speculative
account, forcing prices up cents from
last weeks finish. Later, when nor
NAL conditions set in, the early buyers
took profit, resulting in one cent de-
cline. Sentiment is decidedly less
bearish. Conservative operators prefer
buying on the weak spots, believing
that only a moderate crop can be raised
with perfect conditions from now on.
while all the accidents favor the hold
er. Receipts at primary points fell off
sharply, but promise slightly larger
next week. The cash demand was dis
appointing.

San Francisco, July 14.-Friends of
Colonel G. F. Crocker are thoroughly
alarmed. They no longer conceal the
fear that he cannot recover. He was
exceedingly weak today, and required

case is not entirely hopeless. There
appears to be no abatement of the par.

Seven Present Did Not vote-One Dem
ocrat and Two silver Republicans
Voted for the Bill.
Washington, July 1o.-By the de-
was passed in the senatea bout o'clock
last evening. The elimination OF
the long and arduous struggle had ex-
cited the keenest interest, and the floor
I and the galleries of the senate chamber
were crowded by those anxious to wit
ness the closing scene. Speaker Reed,
Chairman Dingley and many members
of the house of representatives were in
the rear area, while every seat in the
galleries, save those reserved for for
eign representatives., were occupied.
The main interest centered in the
final vote and, aside from this there
was little of dramatic character in
the debate. The early part of the day
was spent on amendments of compare
lively minor importance, the debate
branching into financial and antitrust
channels.
By O'Clock the senators began to
manifest their impatience by calls for
''vote, vote," and thereafter the last
amendment was disposed of and the
final vote began. There were many in
terruptions as pairs were arranged, and
then, at 4:55 O'Clock, the vice-presi-
dent rose and announced the passage of
the bill-ayes, 38; noes, %.
There was no demonstration, but a
few scattered handclaps were given as
the crowds departed. Senator Aldrich
withdrew his vote to pair with Senator
Murphy.
An analysis of the final vote shows
that the affirmative was cast by 35 Re-
publicans, two silver Republicans
Jones OF Nevada and Mantle) and one
Democrat (McEnery). The negative
vote was cast by 25 Democrats, two
Populists (Harris of Kansas and Tur-
ner) and one silver Republican (Can-
non).
Eight Republicans were paired for
the bill and eight Democrats against it.
The first named would have voted
for the bill, and the last named against
it: Aldrich and Murphy, Chandler
and McLourin, Frye and German, Gear
and Smith, Hansbrough and Daniel,
Hoar and Harris of Tennessee, Thurs
ton and Allen, Wolcott and George.
The senators present and not voting
were:
Populists-Allen, Butler, Heitfeld,
Kyle and Stewart. Silver Republicans
Teller and Pettigrew.
Following the passage of the bill a
resolution was agreed to asking the
house for a conference, and Senators
Allison, Aldrich, Platt of Connecticut,
Burrows, Jones of Nevada, Vest, Jones
of Arkansas and White were named as
conferees on the part of the senate.

bers of the house when it comes back

The important changes which the
