THE RIGHT OF ANNEXATION.
srcRFTARY SHERMAN REPLIES 10
THE PROTEST OF JAPAN.

uis Letter Contains Expressions of
FriendIiness Which Please the
Jopanese-WhiIe He Maintains the
night of the United states to An
mex Hawaii He Promises Japan
That Her Interests VIII De Looked
After.
washington. Aus. 19.-Secretary Sher-
man has submitted to the Japanese gov
.rnnlont an answer to Japan's late note
relating 10 the annexation of Hawaii to
re United States. The answer was de-
lyered to Mr.. Hoshi, the japanese minis
ter. last Saturday.
II is his reply to Japan's note of July
which. up to that time, had not been
acknowledged.
Mr. Sherman's answer is marked by
friendly expression toward Japan, which
gives special satisfaction in view of the
somewhat strained relations resulting
from the previous correspondence. 1t re-
iterates the position heretofore taken by
the Secretary of State as to the right and
proprlety of annexing Hawaii to the Uni
ted SldlGS. W IN lltlSs LlOWSNCtJ 10 SOupACI
an assurance that the interests of Japan
in Hawaii will be fully safeguarded. 1t
also expresses satisfaction at the plan of
arbitration between Japan and Hawaii on
the question Of the japanese immigration
to Hawaii.
The answer is largely an elaboration Of
Mr. sherman's former letter and the pol
icies expressed in no way differ from those
Professionally laid down by him.
Minister Hoshi has cabled the sub
stance of the answer to the Toxic govern
ment and the full text of the answer has
been forwarded. 1t will not reach Japan
until Sept 7, and no action may be taken
until the text is before the Japanese for
eign Office. The Japanese legation is
Teticent over the dispatch, although there
is no effort to conceal the satisfaction felt
over the friendly spirit displayed through
out Mr.. Sherman's answer. The atten>
ton Of the Toxic government has been
particularly directed toward these ex-
pressions of good will.

CAN SEARCH OCEANS CAVES.
a Strange New Craft Launched at
baltimore.

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 19.-The Argonaut,
a submarine craft, was launched to-day
at the yards of the Columbian Iron Works
in the presence of a large crowd of inter-
ested spectators.
Miss Miriam Lake. daughter Of the in
ventor of the strange craft, christened 1t
in the usual manner as 1t glided from the
ways into the water. This vessel, which
is the invention of a Baltmoreau, Simon
Lake, is, as far as intentions and appear
ances are concerned, one of the most
unique ever constructed. Ii is intended for
commercial work, including the eXplora-
ton of the bottom of rivers lakes, bays
and even seas, for treasure-seeking and
other purposes of a kindred character.
The vessel presents curious appear
ance The cigar shaped hun has two
big iron wheels attached to it near the
bow. These wheels are about as large
as an odrinary cart wheel and are Of
solid metal The edges of the wheels are
corrugated and cogged like those OF cog
wheel. A smaller wheel of a similar char
acter is attached to the boat at the stern.
The wheels are intended to enable the
vessel 60 run along the bottom of rivers
and other bodies of water, the propeller
of the vessel supply the necessary motive
power. The boat Win be SO arranged, 1t
is understood, that divers can come In
ana go out OF the vessel while she is on
the bottoms of rivers.
The Argonaut Is SO feet long ard feet in
diameter, built of steel and strongly ribb-
ed, to resist the water pressure. She is pro-
PEELED, when on the surface, by a White
and Middleton gasolene engine of thirty
horsepower. She can also be propelled
while on the bottom by the same engine
the supply of air being obtained through
a hose leading to the surface and support
ed by float She can be propelled along
the bottom by an electric motor as WELL
taking current from a powerful storage
battery
strong search light is located in the
bow capable of lighting up a pathway in
front of the craft as she moves along the
bed of the ocean. Lenses are arranged to
project a beam of light to either side OF
the boat so that objects may be seen in
the vicinity of the vessel as she passes
along. Her speed is estimated to be about
8 miles an hour on the surface and about 5
miles under the surface. She will have fuel
carrying capacity for run of about 1000
miles.
The crew will consist of a captain an
engineer and four divers 1t is claimed that
one man can handle her if necessary.

AFRAID TO GO TOO FAR.
MARCHING MINERS ARE EASILY
TURNED BACK.

Deputies Closing in on the Camps.
Women to Do Missionary Work
Among the Miners Now at Work.
Work Has Been Resumed at Sever
al Mines-Fnrmers Contributing TO
the Cause of the strikers.
Pittsburg, Aug. 19.-The striking camp
ers at Plum Creek and Turtle Creek
marched again to-day, after the pro-
gramme, arranged in couples 100 feet
apart.
The deputies formed a line across the
road and warned them back as fast as
each pair came up. Each side wanted the
other to take the aggressive, but both
factions were wary and neither advanced
beyond a certain point. The strikers then
returned to camp, but few of them later
managed to escape the deputies and got
among some of the miners of the company
doing considerable missionary work.
1t was decided to march again to-mor-
row, but it is doubtful If they will have
any better success than they had to-day.
The deputies have been gradually closing
on the camps, and will continue to do so,
it is said, until the men will not be al
lowed to leave the camp. This would
eventually place them under arrest.
The women are doing good missionary
work, although they did not march, as
anticipated. They are sil making it as
uncomfortable for the working miners and
the deputies as they know how. If their
attempt to pass the deputies is successful
in the morning the women will join the
ranks on Saturdays.
The farmers from the surrounding coun-
try contributed large donations of provis-
ions and garden truck to the campers to-
day. The reduction in the campers forces
has given a new lease of life to the food
supply and it will last for some days to
come in the present state. The number of
men now in the camp is ITS.
Officials of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Company are jubilant to-day and say
If their men are left alone the mines will
soon be in full operation. Supt. DeArmit
would not say how much the output was
increased to-day, but it is said it was sub
stantial Eight cars of lump and slack
was mined at Plum Creek and about
twelve cars at Turtle Creek.
AS a result of Cameron Miller's efforts,
the Pardo mines in the Mercer field were
shut down to-day. They employ over 100
men and have a daily capacity of 200 tons.

Met SUMMARY JUSTICE.
Illinois Farmers shoot WOmaL's
AssaiIant 10 Death.

ASsaiIant 10 Death.
Chicago, Aug. 19-shortly after noon to-
day an unknown man attempted to as
sault Mrs. Paulina Fenske, the wife of a
German farmer living in Schiller Park, a
suburb Of Chicago, and was shot to death
by the enraged husband and posse of
farmers. After dinner Mr.. Fenslke left his
home and went TO a farm about two miles
distant. Soon after he left a strange man
walked into the house and asked Mrs.
Fenske for something to eat. He was
roughly dressed. and had paint on his
clothes and was presumably a tramp
painter.
Seeing that Mrs. Fensse and her four
little children were alone. the tramp seized
the woman, striking her over the head
with the butt OF his revolver. The terri
fed children fed from the house and
alarmed the nelghbors A posse Of farm
ers, headed by her husband, secured wea-
pons and hurried back In time to see Mrs
Fenske's assailant emerging from the
house. Then began a chase amid fusl-
lade of shot on both sides that
led through corn fields and woods lasting
half an hour. just as the tramp was going
through another corn field he was shot
in the back and fell, but emptied his two
revolvers at his pursuers as he lay on the
ground. They were unhurt, and. surround
ing him. literally riddled him with bull
let's
No papers were found on his body to in
dicate who he was. Mrs. Fenske being
a muscular German woman, was almost a
match for her assailant and received but
a few bruises I'm the struggle

CARLISLE TALKS OF SPAIN.
His Last Interview With CanOvas.
No General DisaRection Felt.

London, Aug. 19.-Caldron Carlisle of
Washington, counsellor to the Spanish le-
cation in the United States arrived here
to-day from Spain. In the course of an
Interview with the correspondent of the
Associated Press. Mr.. Carlisle said he
went to Spain to pay a visit to relatives,
but while there he had an audience with
the queen regent and held one with the
late Senor Canovas, and other high Off
cials of the Spanish governments over
various aspects in Cuba.
He explained to Senor Canovas the de-
tails of some of the principal filibustering
expeditions from the United States and
Canada, and giving his views as to the
legal aspects of the flibustering claims
which he had investigated since the war
: broke out in Cuba.
Spain, he said, intended to press strongly
her claims to compensation for hlibuster-
ing and the claims would overbalance the
American claims for damages to the prop
erty of citizens of the United States in the
island.
My last interview with Senior Canovas," ="
said Mr. Carlisle, was during the week
before he was assassinated and at the
hotel which was the scene of the tragedy.
waiting at the office of the hotel Senior
Canovas entered the room and was i'm
mediately surrounded by half a dozen gen
tlemen, amid whom he stood talking on
Cuban matters. I inquired as to who
these gentlemen were, and was told they
were newspaper correspondents. The
scene was entirely informal, quite Amer
lean in fact. One could easily see how a
man so approachable as SenOr Canovas
could be assassinated without much diff
cutly. 1 was told that he always saw
newspaper correspondents freely and talk
ed with them frankly.
"Senor Canovas appeared to be in excel
lent health and spirits though, of course,
he was no longer young man. He told
me he was satisfied that the progress of
the war in Cuba this summer had been
all that could be expected in the wet sea-
son, and he believed conditions would be
much better In the autumn. He spoke feel
ingly of the suffering, which he considered
and described as unavodably incidental
to a state of war, and he expressed the
warmest hope that the necessity for suf-
fering would soon cease.
THE condition of the public sentiment in
the United States was a matter to which
he made particular inquiry. I assured him
that the country was not so partial to the
inSurgent movement as might be inferI ed
from some of the newspapers and from
the reports of congressional Debates"
Mr.. Carlisle believes the effect of the as
sassinaton of Canovas will be to unite
more closely the various sections of the
conservative party in Spain. He said: Il
can speak not only for the court circles,
but also for the people of three provinces
where the Carlists are reputed to be
strongest and l can say that l saw no
signs of preparations for a Carlist rising,
nor anything to cOrroborate reports circu-
lated in the United States to the effect
that Spanish people are so dissa tisfed with
the government as to be easily melted to
overthrow it."
