MORE THREATS FROM JAPAN.
Hinted That 10 May Become Necessary Ia
Cbastise Hawaii


Vancouver, b. c., July 2.-The steam
ship Empress Of China, which has ar
rived from the Orient. brings the follow
ing advices:
The Jill remarks in reference TO the
diitculty with Hawaii that 1.-THE govern
ment at Honolulu is somewhat saucy
and not the least intimidated by the
presence of the warship Naniwa. The
Hawaiians believe that Japan will not
dare adopt so extreme a measure as to
go to war with so small a country, being
ashamed to do so. 1t is this that causes
Hawaii to show such a bold front. 1t
is pity that this should be so, for IL
Hawaii goes too far we shall certainly
be compelled to chatise her"
More than twenty arrests have just
been made in Seoul, Korea, in conse-
quence of the discovery Of an alleged
plot to assassinate several prominent
persons. Japanese papers allege that
the members Of the Russian party were
at the bottom of the plot and that they
are now taking advantage of its discov-
cry TO induce the king to return to the
Russian legation.
Professor Tanakadate who occupies
the chair of physics and seismology in
the imperial japanese university, is said
to have invented an earthquake alarm,
which will he exhibited at the Paris ex-
hibition in 1900.

CREW OF COMPETITOR.
Spaniards Hesitate to Bring the
Men to Trial.
THEY ARE AFRAID OF UNCLE SAM.

Spain Does Not Desire to Aggravate Any
Hostile Feeling That May Already Exist

competitor crew did not take place
Thursday 1t may not take place for
several months, unless the United States
government presses the matter. The au-
thorities here hesitate to bring the men
to trial for diplomatic reasons. They
realize the fact that If the laws Of Spain
mean anything, and are not to be
brought into disrepute, the sentence of
the Competitor filibusters must be
severe one. On the other hand, Spain
does not desire to aggravate any hostile
feeling that may already exist in the
united States against her. About the
middle of June Consul General Lee, by
direction of his government, pressed for
an early trial. He pointed out that a
long delay had already taken place and
declared it unjust.
Most Indefinite Reply.
To the consul generals letter General
Weyler sent most indefinite reply. He
began by excusing the past delay on the
ground that the proceedings on the part
OF the prosecution had consumed much
time, and now, he said, the lawyer who
had been assigned to the prisoners had
been given until the end of July to pre-
pare the defense. In conclusion, Gen
eral Weyler stated that it was "impos-
sible to say when the trial would be
brought on" This means that ii has
been thought best to delay the trial in
definitely.
Meantime the Competitor prisoners
are languishiEg in prison. Some of
them cannot stand confinement much
longer. They are not treated badly, so
far as Spanish treatment of prisoners
In Cuba goes. Americans cannot realize
what confinement in Cabanas during
these hot months means. When Mel
ton, for example was taken prisoner
he was a remarkably fine specimen of
man. Today he is broken down be-
yond recovery. His shoulders are bowed
and his frame is wasted to skin and
bone.

the couples immediate families no one
knew of the marriage. Young McMil-
Ian graduated Wednesday from the
Sheffield Scientific school at Yale. There
was no opposition to the marriage of the
young couple, but 1t was Senator Nc
Millan's wish that his son should study
longer and the brides parents wished
a postponement for few years because
of their da ighter's youth. Thursday
afternoon the couple left for New York
and on Saturday will sail for Europe.

charges that the fusionists have entered
into a compact to deliver the Populist
vote to the Democrats i'm 1900, and that
the 81, 500 recently contributed to the
Populist fund by Mr.. Bryan out of the
proceeds of his book sales is the first
installment Of the purchase money.
His editorial concludes as follows:
I'VE could wish chat Mr.. Bryan had
kept his money in his pocket. He has
made a mistake-just as he made a
mistake when he joyously rushed tele-
gram of congratulation to Mckinley.
How such devoted champion of thu
people could find 1t in his heart to re-
joice at the election of the representa-
tive of gold bugs and corporations, we
have not yet been able to comprehend.
But having thrown out these few re-
marks, we recur to our question, Why
have the fusion Populists taken Bryan's
money, If they are not under obligations
to deliver him the Populist vote in
1902"

Havana, July 2.-Disease among Span

so severe that when General Weyier or

Strictly Gold Standard.


HELM BAY. Alaska, Oct. Is, 1897.
EDITOR ISLANDER.
Dear Friend:-As you requested, and
as I suppose some of my old friends
would like to hear something from
this part Of Alaska, I now take pleas
ure in writing an article for our old
home paper. I would have written
sooner but got interested In prospect
ing, and little excited too suppose,
for that's . part Of the disease" and
thought best to wait and see how things
were going to develop. don't BE-
lieve in starting wild cat yarns" like
many Of those from the Kl0ndlke.
Now since the excitement has
quieted to some extent, think l am
safe in saying that this is one of the
richest quartz districts In Alaska. This
place is going to have = big boom next
spring, and If live and keep well I'm
going to make few dollars. This camp
Is only Units infancy, having been start
ed about two months. When l came
here 1 knew nothing about prospecting
at all, but I had q little streak of luck
and was fortunate enough to make
several locations, I now have three
claims of my own and am interested In
four more. The second day out /
found free gold, and have found more
since. It is an every daything for some
of the boys to report having found
more free gold and you don't need q
glass to see it with either. I've seen
lots of specimens that the gold could
be seen In at q distance Of at least
twenty feet, and that with the naked
eye.
I am now building q couple Of houses
for one of the principal mining men
here. These are the first houses in this
camp and we all live in tents, but
that's pretty good when q fellow gets
used to it. We live high, on venizon,
Of which there is great abundance,
and almost too many bear and wolves.
1t makes it uncomfortable for fellow
if he should happen to get too far from
camp and have to stay In the woods
all night, as I have known several to
do. BY the way, who should l find
when came here but Dick Sumner
from Lopez, he is strictly in the swim
when it comes to mining property.
Dick and are patching together and
getting along tip top, he makes the
ap:jacks and ] make the coffee, and we
Just live right up on the top shelf.
Our camp is located on the south
west shore of Helm bay. on the Cleve-
land penensula and near Benin canal.
We are about twenty-five miles from
Saxman and about ten miles from the
regular steamers run. would not
advise any one to come to this country
until next spring, for the winter Is just
setting in, and prospecting IL about
over for this year. Perhaps by spring
can give more satisfactory reports
