Counsellor Akyama will leave for
Yokohama by the Rio de Janeiro on
Saturday. His unexpected departure
for the seat OF his home Government
Is caused, so rumor has ii, by sud
den change in the aspect of the Ha-
waii-Japan negotiations. And this
changed condition, rumor also says, is
by no means pleasing TO the officials
Of the japanese Legation here. Neither
Minister Shimamura nor Counsellor
Akyama could be seen last night, so
that the report that Mr.. Akyama would
return here by The Coptic August 18th
could not be verified.
Counsellor Akyama came here by the
Eaniwa, bearing special instructions TO
H. !. J. Ms Minister Shimamura re-
garding the immigration difficulty. He
announced, shortly after his arrival
that he would remain. certainly until
the close Of the negotiations, and pos
sibly until the departure Of the cruiser

GOOD NEWS RECEIVED.
Treaty Recommended by Foreign
Affairs Committee.
From Wednesdays Daily)


From Wednesdays Daily9
The announcement of the approach
of the City of Picking late yesterday
afternoon was the signal for about 100
people to gather at the Pacific Mail
wharf to learn, if possible, the first
news from Washington, via Yokohama,
regarding annexation.
One of the postal clerks came ashore
first, bringing the information that the
treaty had been signed by Assistant
Secretary Day, for the United States,
and Francis NJ Hatch. Lorrin A. Thur
ston and ". A Kinney, for Hawaii,
and by President Mckinley transmit
ted TO the Senate on June 10th. That
body voted at once TO refer the treaty
to the Foreign Relations Committee.
Action was taken by the committee al
once, and the treaty was reported upon
favorably and reported back to the
Senate. The vote was to be taken the
next day.
This information was said TO have
been contained in a dispatch received
at Yokohama just prior to the sailing
of the steamer. II could not be verified
by either Minister Smith or Minister
Cooper. but as United States Minister
Sewall has said: The treaty will ar
rive here on Thursday for ratification
by the Hawaiian Senate" the reported
dispatch has probably been received
here. but had not yet been taken from
the Post Office.

doubt of the people as to the tariff.
With annexation We may have COM

sort, upon which business men thrive.
We will, no doubt, have a great influx
of people in all walks of life, and we
may get some new ideas, which will
benefit every one in business, l expect

payment of this loan that the passport

The lawyers claim that the check
was bona-fde. and that the retaining
fee OF one of them was paid out of it.
The Indiana is owned by United
States Minister Sewall. and upon his
request the matter was investigated by
the Government In the course of the
investigation something was found,
which Attorney General Smith be
lieves should be explained to the SUI

attorneys are confident they can prove
their case.

PLAIN TALK FOR SPAIN.
Secretary Sherman Insists en- Ample
Protection for American Rights.

| secretary Sherman Insists en- Ample
! Protection for American Rights. :
Washington, March 16.--Secretary
Sherman and the Spanish minister,
Senior de LONE, have had a series of very
important consultations within the last
| four or five days, the net result Of which
| is that the Spanish government has been
given to understand in the plainest pos
sible terms that this administration will
| insist upon Americans in Cuba being
amply protected, and that when they
get in trouble they must be accorded
civil trial according to the provisions Of
the existing treaty between the two ma
tons. The Cuban dungeons are full Of
Americans awaiting trial on various
charges, and the enforcement Of the pol
! ICY laid down by Secretary Sherman
would mean Il wholesale liberation OF
the greater majority OF these prisoners.
The Spanish government is making g.
strong protest against the policy, and
up to the present writing has declined
to give the assurances which Secretary
Sherman has demanded. Minister de
LONE is very much dissatisfied with the
result Of his conferences with OUR Sec
rotary of state, and has said within the
| last "a hours that if he cannot secure a
rotary Sherman he might as well be re-:
called, as his usefulness in this country
would be over. This Cuban matter is
liable to break out in an acute form at
almost any time.
